Protective Products of America Provides Update on Credit Facility

SUNRISE, FL, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Protective Products of America,
Inc. (PPA:TSX), a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced products in
ballistics protection, today announced that it is in negotiations to extend
its Forbearance Agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) for
its primary operating line of credit by up to four months. As of March 31,
2009, PPA had $5.1 million of debt outstanding under the line of credit which
is expected to be extended to October 31, 2009.
"We believe that we maintain a good relationship with CIBC and we are working
to secure this forbearance extension given the impact of the economic slowdown
on our business," said Brian L. Stafford, Acting Chief Executive Officer of
PPA. "Such an extension will give us the benefit of additional time and a
better liquidity position from which to execute on our business strategies and
strategic opportunities."
