International Luxury Pro... (PK) (USOTC:ILXP)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
International Luxury Proucts (ILXP) is pleased to
announce that the merger with American Luxury Products, Inc., (ALP)
has been approved by both ILXP and ALP shareholders.
Based on preliminary unaudited year-end figures, ILXP achieved its
2005 sales goal of $1.3 million, an increase of approximately 20% over
the previous year. Operating expenses were in line with expectations.
However, compliance costs, specifically auditor fees, were
substantially higher due to certain regulatory issues associated with
our reverse merger and public listing.
Revenues from direct sales channels increased, improving margins.
In 2005, direct sales from the new Dallas retail store, rodeos and
western shows accounted for an estimated 30% of revenue. This is the
first phase of ILXP's strategic realignment of Bohlin distribution
channels toward more direct sales. Management believes that this
strategy will help Bohlin capitalize on increasing demand for its
products by increasing inventory turnover and improving margins.
In this regard, it is notable that Bohlin's direct sales were
strong at leading western-themed events, especially those held in the
4th quarter, such as the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, where
sales increased an estimated 43% over the prior year. Management
believes that rodeo sales will continue to increase, as rodeo
attendance grows. According to statistics cited in The Wall Street
Journal, the largest pro circuit drew 24 million spectators in 2004.
"We are pleased with the results of 2005," said David K. Marold,
ILXP President. "We devoted a great deal of attention to restructuring
the Company and re-focusing its strategy. As a result, we weren't able
to fully exploit the sales potential of our products. Nevertheless,
based on preliminary figures, we achieved our 2005 sales goals, which
represent an increase of 20% over 2004."
The foregoing financial results are unaudited, and are therefore
preliminary and are subject to change based on completion of the 2005
year-end audit and final management review.
Management is also pleased to announce that Bohlin was the
recipient of the award for best jewelry design at the 2005 Western
Design Conference. The conference in Cody, Wyoming, has become known
as the world's preeminent exhibition of western furniture, fashion and
accessories.
The Company is pleased to announce a joint venture program between
Resistol, a leading hat maker, and Edward H. Bohlin, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ILXP. Bohlin's custom silver hatband buckles are
featured on selected Resistol hats.
In 2006, Bohlin enters the custom furniture business through a
co-branding agreement with Steelstrike Leather Products to produce
silver mounted furniture featuring handcrafted custom Bohlin
appointments. Steelstrike is a leading manufacturer of traditional
wood and hand tooled leather furniture in distinctive Colorado "cattle
baron" and "lodge" styles.
International Luxury Products, Inc. is publicly quoted on the Pink
Sheets under the symbol ILXP. Formerly known as Dermalay (DMLY.PK),
the Company was renamed after its recent merger with American Luxury
Products, Inc.
International Luxury Products, Inc. was founded to capitalize on
market opportunities in prestige watches, leather and related luxury
goods. The Company has two divisions-- The Bohlin Company and Julien
Coudray.
