IBEX Reports Fiscal 2008 3rd Quarter Results

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
IBEX Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IBT), today reported its financial
results for the third quarter and nine months ended April 30, 2008.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Solely for the convenience of the reader, selected financial results
expressed in Canadian dollars on the financial statements, have been
translated into U.S. dollars at the April 30, 2008 month-end rate C$1.00
equals US$ 0.9928. This translation should not be construed as an
application of the recommendations relating to the accounting for foreign
currency translation, but rather as supplemental information for the
reader.

Results for the Quarter

Sales for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008 totaled $712,997
(US$707,860) compared to $551,768 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007,
representing an increase of 29%.

Net profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $259,269 (US$257,400)
or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $815,603 or ($0.04) per
share for the same period in fiscal 2007.

In addition to sales gains, the Company's profit improvement can be
traced to significantly reduced operating costs, from $1,367,765 in the
prior year to $453,752 in the current quarter, due to a cost reduction
program which included, among other things, the decision to terminate the
research and development activities related to its arthritis and cancer
programs.

"The results for the quarter were enhanced by the recent industry crisis
regarding heparin, leading to an increase in sales of the Company's
heparinase products useful in the identification of heparin contaminants"
said Paul Baehr, President and CEO.

The heparin contamination issue presents a unique opportunity for the use
of IBEX pure recombinant enzymes and as a result IBEX has commenced
development of an easy-to-use enzyme-based assay to measure chondroitin
contamination.

Results for the Nine Months

Sales for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008 totaled $1,816,800
(US$1,803,720) compared to $1,454,113 for the same period in the prior
year, representing an increase of 25%.

Net profit for the nine-months ended April 30, 2008 was $158,622
(US$157,480) or ($0.01) per share compared to a net loss of $1,900,938 or
($0.08) per share for the same period in fiscal 2007.

A significant contributor to the year to date profit (versus the net loss
same period of the prior year) is a reduction of the company's operating
expenses from $3,567,237 to $1,655,261 due to the previously mentioned
cost reduction program.

Working Capital

The Company's working capital was $1,629,408 as at the end of the
quarter, in-line with the guidance provided at the time of the
restructuring announcement and up from $1,338,625 as at the end of the
prior quarter ending January 31, 2008 (and compared to $1,403,321 as at
July 31, 2007).

LOOKING FORWARD

profitability and is now turning its attention to growth opportunities,
including opportunities to maximize shareholders' value through
discussions with companies interested in the IBEX infrastructure and its
accumulated tax loss carry-forwards.
