Newark, NY - July 26, 2007 - IEC Electronics Corp. (IECE.OB) announced its
results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, ending June 29, 2007.

The Company reported revenue of $11.2 million for the quarter and net profit of
$553,000 or $0.06 per share. This compares to revenue of $5.4 million and net
profit of $79,000 or $0.01 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

IEC had revenue of $31.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and a
net profit of $579,000 or $0.06 per share. This compares to revenue of $14.6
million and net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of ($137,000) or
($0.02) per share.

W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, "This was a good
quarter from a number of perspectives. Most importantly, our manufacturing
efficiencies are increasing as we begin to see the benefit from the time and
investment spent training more than 130 new employees, including twenty new
employees during this past quarter. It was personally gratifying to witness the
progress and contribution that both our new and continuing employees are making.
They are becoming a very effective team and we expect continued advancement and
productivity gains over the next couple of quarters as the training process
continues. Our earnings were positively impacted by, $0.02 cents a share, as a
result of our ability to take advantage of our deferred tax asset. The balance
of our tax asset, approximately $20 million, will become available as the
Company continues demonstrating repeatable and a reasonable range of sustained
earnings going forward.

Our sales more than doubled from both Q3 of last year and from the first nine
months of the prior year. The additional sales are translating into additional
profits. At the end of fiscal 2006 our order backlog was $21.7 million. We do
not report our order backlog on a quarterly basis. However, it continues to grow
and is reasonably higher than at the beginning of our fiscal year. Our sales
activity continues to expand and we are seeing significant interest from world
class companies. With that said, we did not add any new customers this quarter
in order to carefully manage the growth of the business. We are gradually
integrating the new customers added during the last two quarters to reduce the
impact on our existing customers. Our quarterly earnings will continually be
influenced by the start-up costs associated with new customers and programs, as
it can take upwards of six months for a new project to hit its stride. However,
we believe we have developed a process to enable us to continue steadily adding
new customers with a minimum amount of disruption. Our growth has been quite
rapid this past year and it now must shift to healthy sustained growth.


                                                                               1


As I 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."
