Newark, NY - April 23, 2007 - IEC Electronics Corp. (IECE.OB) announced its
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, ending March 30, 2007.

The Company reported revenue of $10.9 million for the quarter and net profit of
$603,000 or $0.07 per share. This compares to revenue of $5.6 million and net
loss of ($168,000) or ($0.02) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
The quarter's results were favorably impacted by the $289,000 bad debt recovery
announced on March 27th. Our proforma earnings without the recovery would have
been $314,000 or $0.04 per share.

IEC had revenue of $20.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007 and a
net profit of $27,000 or $0.00 per share. This compares to revenue of $9.2
million and net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2006 of ($216,000) or
($0.03) per share.

W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, "IEC continues to add
new accounts and increase volume with existing customers. We are pleased to have
had a very profitable quarter. Our sales are more than 95 % ahead of last year
for Q2 and more than double the sales for the first six months of the prior
year. The additional sales are just beginning to translate into additional
profits; however we are still incurring training costs associated with all of
the new employees hired over the last six months and expects the training to
continue for the balance of the current fiscal year.

We expect our sales to continue at this level for the balance of the year and to
gain momentum as the Company enters fiscal 2008. Both new and existing customers
are increasing their commitment with us. We believe that our sales are likely to
exceed $40 million for fiscal 2007. As we have said previously the Company is
moving in the right direction and we are confident that we are creating future
value for our shareholders and opportunity for our employees."
