"First quarter revenue provided a continuation of revenue growth that
commenced in fiscal 2012 which resulted in record margins and net
profit. Operating income is also stronger but was offset in part by a
weaker US$ during the quarter that reduced the Company's net income
during the quarter," says Bruce Gowan, IWG's Chairman.




"Revenue growth is continuing in 2013 as IWG delivers to existing
contracts, the new Gulfstream 650 contract and introduces new
products", says Bruce MacCoubrey, President and CEO of International
Water-Guard Industries Inc.
