U.S. Bank Expands Line of Credit to $2.5 million





BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ITEX Corporation (OTC
Bulletin Board: ITEX), The Membership Trading Community(SM), a leading
marketplace for cashless business transactions in North America, today
announced that the credit facility with its primary banking institution had
been expanded to $2,500,000.  

ITEX and U.S. Bank entered into an agreement to increase the maximum loan
amount under its revolving credit facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million.
The interest rate of the facility is one-month LIBOR + 2%; equating to a
current interest rate of 2.24%.

Steven White, Chairman and CEO noted, "There is currently no outstanding
balance under this line of credit and we have no immediate plans for use.
However, we felt it prudent to increase our access to additional capital in
order to position us to take advantage of potential opportunities. U.S. Bank
has been a great partner over the years and we appreciate the support it has
provided to help us expand our business." 

Timothy J. Flynn, Vice President of Commercial Banking for U.S. Bank,
commented, "We are pleased with ITEX's consistent financial performance and
overall success during the last six years. During this period, ITEX has done
an exceptional job strengthening its balance sheet, increasing positive cash
flow, eliminating debt associated with its acquisitions, and demonstrating
sound fiscal management. These factors, along with our positive and open
communications with ITEX's management, were instrumental in approving the
increase in the line of credit limit."
