IBEX Reports Results for the Year Ended July 31, 2012

IBEX Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IBT) today reported its financial results
for the year ended July 31, 2012. 


"We are extremely pleased to report increased sales and net earnings", said IBEX
President & CEO, Paul Baehr. "The increased cash flow has permitted us to invest
resources to strengthen our existing business and to advance several new
projects which we hope will bear fruit in Fiscal 2014". 


FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO DATE 

Sales for the year ended July 31, 2012 totaled $2,924,700, an increase of 30% as
compared to $2,243,902 for the same period in the prior year. This increase in
sales is primarily due to a return to a normal sales pattern in the enzymes
product lines. 


Net earnings for the year ended July 31, 2012 were $229,981, up 122% compared to
$103,602, for the same period in previous fiscal year. 


Expenses for the year ended July 31, 2012 increased 26%, to $2,694,719 from
$2,140,300 in the previous year, an increase of $554,419. The bulk of this
change traces to an increase in Cost of Goods (up $304,108), and swing in
Financial Expenses (a negative swing of $217,871) due to changes in foreign
exchange. 


SG&A at $1,071,311 was up modestly (5%) and R&D Expenses remained stable at
$245,752 (down 5% vs. the previous year). 


Net working capital decreased 1% and Cash, Cash Equivalents & Marketable
Securities increased by 21%. 


Capital Expenditures for the year were $69,229, down from $482,820 in the
previous year. 


FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2012 

Sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2012 totaled $785,107, an increase of 4% as
compared to $758,203 in the same period of the prior year. 


The Company recorded net loss of $73,643 in its fourth quarter ended July 31,
2012 compared to net earnings of $303,243 for the same period year ago, tracing
to increased expense.


Expenses increased by $402,311 to $857,271 from $454,960 in the same period year
ago, of which the major part traces to currency related matters ($217,553), and
$101,766 to SGA (including a provision for employee bonuses of $27,900 of which
there was no corresponding expense in Fiscal 2011).

LOOKING FORWARD 

At this point in time we see some stability in the current enzyme product line.
We are also investing time and money in development of new projects in the
enzyme line which we expect to bear fruit in the latter part of calendar 2013.
