Monday November 10, 2:30 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Quadrax Corporation Quadrax Delivers Business Update PORTSMOUTH, R.I., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Quadrax Corporation (Nasdaq: QDRX - news) responded to repeated inquiries from the investment community as to the status of the company's business and future prospects. Quadrax is pleased to report that October for Quadrax represented the largest month for shipments in its history since it began serving the commercial markets. The Quadrax order backlog (independent of Victor) currently stands at approximately $2.5 million. The Company has been working diligently to generate further awareness of its golf club shafts and hockey stick shafts and other products. With respect to the Quadrax Golf business, Mike Buck, Vice President of Sales and Marketing commented, ''Our golf business continues to grow as evidenced by our having the highest sales production of any quarter thus far. We are continuing to see robust sales through Golfsmith International and Austad's. Additionally, our aftermarket sales force are selling approximately $50,000 of shafts per month. Our previously announced relationship with Taylor Made continues to progress. We also are continuing to work with a number of other OEM's to utilize our golf club shaft in their fully assembled club. We are confident that we will have new relationships and contracts in the near future. The Company continues to be very excited about our shaft and its benefits. The marketplace is definitely taking notice to our technology and our shafts are meeting with increasing acceptance on the major professional tours. Finally, it is our objective to unveil our line of iron shafts at the PGA Merchandise show in January.'' Brad Park, 1988 N.H.L. Hall of Fame inductee and current Quadrax representative, has been highly successful at introducing the Quadrax TP-10, TP-12 Thermo-Composite(TM) and A-20 thermoset hockey sticks to the National Hockey League, American Hockey League and collegiate teams. Commenting on the feedback he has been receiving, Brad stated, ''I have been receiving a very good response to our sticks from the professional and amateur communities alike. Players specifically comment on the sticks' lightweight and superior feel relative to what they were using. We (Quadrax) will be receiving our American Hockey League license and are applying for our National Hockey League license. The licenses are important as they allow professional players in those respective leagues to use the Quad-Force(TM) sticks in game play with the Quadrax name fully exposed. Steve Guollo of the San Jose Sharks and team rookie of the year for the 96'-97' season, for example, has been using the stick in game play and has scored with it.'' Continuing, Brad said, ''It is important that we generate professional sponsorship, as that is what directly influences the retailers and the consumers buying trends.'' Dave Park, General Manager of Quadrax Advanced Materials, regarding Quadrax's business said, ''Our backlog continues to grow and our relationship with our customers is excellent. Spinergy, our high-end bicycle wheel manufacturing customer is continuing to see robust demand for the new roks-XE mountain bike wheel. Martin Connolly, President and CEO of Spinergy says that they literally cannot produce the wheels fast enough. In addition, the industrial part of our business is growing handsomely. In fact, two of our industrial customers have introduced new products made from our materials this year. These new products are being received so well in their markets that we are now discussing extended exclusive supply contracts with them at there request.'' John Palermo, President of Quadrax's wholly-owned subsidiary Victor Electric Wire and Cable, reports, ''We are very pleased with our six month performance since we were acquired by Quadrax. We have thus far generated $600,000 in cash flow and add $2,000,000 in equity to the Quadrax entity. We are broadening our customer base and anticipate earning new business with a variety of companies outside the U.S. Our long term contracts coupled with our extensive pipeline and quotations for new business should make for a marked improvement in our 1998 revenues. Finally, the company indicated that it will release their third quarter 1997 earnings numbers on November 13, 1997.
