“2016 proved to be a challenging but fruitful year for both shareholders and management quoted Chris Giordano, Global’s
President and Co-Chairman. Through the very careful implementation of financial engineering we reduced our debt from what was at
one point over $3.5 million in to under $900,000 thru the third quarter 2016. We expect to reduce that amount further by the end of
2017.This has had a very positive impact in our ability to transition into a company that can begin the process of financing the
opportunities that Management has created for its shareholders. Throughout 2016 we continued to evolve as a high tech fabric and
apparel based company by our continued pursuit of developing our own intellectual property or in some cases looking at the
licensing of technologies that are in late stage development that complement our own proprietary portfolio of patents, trade
secrets and processes.
Management and the Board of Directors of Global Fashion Technologies, Inc felt that the coming strategic implementation of our
technologies and our overall business direction is reflected in a new corporate name. EcoTek360, Inc., is the name
that we best felt mirrored the direction the Company is about to take. ECO reflects our “ECO FRIENDLY” approach to
the textile and apparel business. Tek as it relates our being a company which will have a deep commitment to
establishing our own proprietary technologies and lastly, 360 for what will be a Company that will create a true
sustainable and “Circular Economy” for its products and a positive corporate image for its customers by reducing their carbon
footprint.
We are now fully prepared to finance and monetize the Company’s opportunities. We still maintain our Investment Banking
arrangement with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. and we will look for their advice very shortly on how best to finance the
Company’s opportunities going forward.
We look forward to implementing our go to market strategies in 2017 and further communications with our shareholders in the very
near future.”
