			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TORONTO, ONTARIO&#8211;(Marketwired &#8211; May 28, 2013)</strong> &#8211; Innovative Composites International Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IC)(OTCQX:ICIZF) (&#8220;ICI&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, announced today that its board of directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) has appointed Mark Rivers, currently a director of the Company, to serve as Vice Chairman and interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board wishes to express its gratitude to Terry Ball, the previous CEO, who is being appointed President and Chief Operating Officer allowing him to focus on day-to-day operations, and who will remain as a director of the Company. Sam Greiss has resigned as Chief Financial Officer and as a director of the company.</p>
<p>Mark Rivers is the founder of several businesses, including: Presidents of Enterprising Organizations, one of the largest CEO Executive Development Networks in Canada; Breakthrough Growth Corporation, a boutique strategy consulting firm specializing in facilitating breakthroughs in enterprise growth and value; CEO Capital Corporation, a boutique investment bank that provides &#8220;inflection point&#8221; capital and expertise to small mid-sized companies; He has been called upon to help companies work through various issues affecting growth, such as mergers, partner buyouts, strategic alliances and conflict resolutions. Mr. Rivers has been engaged by shareholders and pension funds across North America as an activist on behalf of shareholders to lead the restoration of value in several public companies. In this capacity he has served as chairman, executive chairman and CEO of three different public companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, and the NEX, and has successfully led the turnaround in value and performance of extremely distressed companies in the defense, software, aerospace, naval and transportation industries.</p>
<p>The Board looks forward to working with Mark in seeking to address its current funding requirements while unlocking the true potential of the Company&#8217;s business and technology. Ken Keeley, Chairman, stated on behalf of the Board, &#8220;Mark has a strong track record for unlocking underlying value in companies and generally achieving results under difficult circumstances. So far he has shown himself to be articulate, decisive and able to get people onside and things done quickly. We look forward to his contribution.&#8221; Said Mr. Rivers, &#8220;There is a lot to do in a very short period of time but I believe in the potential of this business and I know the passion of its stakeholders. I&#8217;m excited by this challenge. I am committed to engaging with investors and all our stakeholders to work with them to rebuild their confidence and work with management, the Board and our customers and suppliers to restore the confidence and value of this uniquely valuable business.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>May 6, 2013 &#8211; Toronto, Ontario -</strong> <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/" title="Innovative Composites International Announces Change to the Board of Directors">Innovative Composites International Inc.</a> (“ICI” or the “Company”), (<a href="http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=ic&#038;locale=EN">TSXV: IC</a>) (<a href="http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/quote?symbol=ICIZF">OTCQX: ICIZF</a>), a producer of proprietary engineered <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/structure-lite-composite-materials/">composite</a> products, announced today that its board of directors (the “Board”) has approved the amending and restating of the Company’s by-laws to introduce an advance notice requirement in connection with shareholders intending to nominate directors in certain circumstances (the “Advance Notice Procedures”).</p>
<p>The Advance Notice Procedures set forth a procedure requiring advance notice to the Company by any shareholder who intends to nominate any person for election as director of the Company other than pursuant to (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the OBCA. Among other things, the Advance Notice Procedures set a deadline by which such shareholders must notify the Company in writing of any intention to nominate directors prior to any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected and set forth the information that the shareholder must include in their notice for it to be considered valid.</p>
<p>The Advance Notice Procedures provide a clear and transparent process for all shareholders to follow if they intend to nominate directors. In that regard, the Advance Notice Procedures provide a reasonable time frame for shareholders to notify the Company of their intention to nominate directors and require shareholders to disclose information concerning the proposed nominees that is mandated by applicable securities laws.</p>
<p>In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 20 and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.</p>
<p>In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made. </p>
<p>The Advance Notice Procedures is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for ratification at the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held on June 6, 2013.</p>
<p>The Advance Notice Procedures are in effect until confirmed, confirmed as amended or rejected by shareholders at the Meeting and, if confirmed at the Meeting, the Advance Notice Procedures will continue in effect in the form in which they were so confirmed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>March 20, 2013 – Toronto, Ontario –</strong> <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/" title="Innovative Composites International Announces Change to the Board of Directors">Innovative Composites International Inc.</a> (“ICI” or the “Company”), (<a href="http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=ic&#038;locale=EN">TSXV: IC</a>) (<a href="http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/quote?symbol=ICIZF">OTCQX: ICIZF</a>), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, announced today a change to the board of directors of the Company.</p>
<p>As a step forward following the announcement of the agreement with Difference Capital Funding<br />
Inc. (“DCF”) regarding the offering of senior secured convertible debentures, the Company is<br />
pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Mark Rivers to the board of directors.</p>
<p>Mr. Rivers was previously engaged by the board and management in late February to provide<br />
an objective evaluation of the Company and its prospects and to help secure funding for the<br />
Company, and was instrumental in bringing about the DCF agreement.</p>
<p>“I am excited about ICI and especially its technology and the operating leadership team who<br />
have clearly developed some superior products and applications in multiple industries”, said<br />
Mark Rivers. “I believe that through my network and other interests I can help the Company with<br />
the commercialization of its assets and look forward to working with the directors and<br />
management to help ICI realize its potential.“</p>
<p>Mr. Rivers has been appointed as a director of the Company to fill the seat vacated by Mr.<br />
Andrew McConnell. Mr. Rivers is the founder of several businesses, including: Presidents of<br />
Enterprising Organizations (PEO), one of the largest CEO Executive Development Networks in<br />
Canada; Breakthrough Growth Corporation, a boutique strategy consulting firm specializing in<br />
facilitating breakthroughs in enterprise growth and value; CEO Capital Corporation, a boutique<br />
investment bank that provides &#8220;inflection point&#8220; capital and expertise to small mid-sized<br />
companies; and Mill Valley Estate, a private game preserve outside of Toronto. He has been<br />
called upon to help companies work through various issues affecting growth, such as mergers,<br />
partner buyouts, strategic alliances and conflict resolutions. Mr. Rivers has been engaged by<br />
shareholders and pension funds across North America to lead shareholder activist work and<br />
lead the restoration of value in several public companies. He has also served as chairman,<br />
executive chairman and CEO of three different public companies listed on the TSX, TSXV and<br />
NEX, and has taken companies private and successfully led the turnaround in value and<br />
performance of extremely distressed companies in the defense, software, aerospace, naval and<br />
transportation industries.</p>
<p>“We are fortunate to have someone of Mr. Rivers stature join our board of directors and I speak<br />
for the board in welcoming Mr. Rivers to the Company and saying that we look forward to<br />
working with him in guiding ICI to a successful future”, said Terry Ball, CEO of ICI. “The addition<br />
of Mark to the board along with Jim Loran in the sales leadership position will better enable the<br />
Company to perform according to its potential.”</p>
<p>The Company granted 200,000 options to Mr. Rivers, who is receiving no cash compensation<br />
for his services as director. These options are exercisable at $0.20 per share, to be consistent<br />
with the exercise price of options previously granted to each non-executive director in lieu of a<br />
retainer or other director compensation. These options have a term of 7 years and vest on a<br />
straight-line basis over 12 months commencing on March 20, 2013.</p>
<p>The Company has also granted 200,000 options to the CEO of the Company and 100,000 to the<br />
CFO of the Company. These options are exercisable at $0.10 per share and have a term of 7<br />
years. These options vest as follows: 25% vesting on the closing of the $2.5 million convertible<br />
debenture offer currently underway within 90 days; 25% on the closing of an additional equity or<br />
equivalent raise within 150 days; 25% on becoming cash flow positive for not less than a 12<br />
month period; and the last 25% annually over 4 years commencing on the first anniversary of<br />
the option grant.</p>

The Debentures will bear an interest rate of 14% per annum and will be secured by a general security agreement and a perfected first-priority security interest in all of the property of the Company.</p>
<p>Upon closing of the Offering, DCF will have the right to appoint two directors to the board of ICI.</p>
<p>Insiders of the Company intend to purchase between approximately $250,000 and $500,000 of the Offering. The Offering is considered to be a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (<strong>&#8220;MI 61-101&#8243;</strong>). The Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to insiders nor the consideration being paid by insiders will exceed 25% of the Company&#8217;s market capitalization, and the shares of ICI are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the <strong>&#8220;Exchange&#8221;</strong>). Insiders will not be permitted to purchase any Debentures constituting the Exempt Amount.</p>
<p>The Company has applied for an exemption from shareholder approval for the pricing of the Exempt Amount, given the immediacy of its need to repay KS Centoco, the holder of a $2 million secured convertible debenture that demanded repayment on March 4, 2013 (the <strong>&#8220;KS Centoco Loan&#8221;</strong>). The demand made by KS Centoco does not permit adequate time to hold a meeting of shareholders.</p>
<p>In the event that the Offering will create a new &#8220;Control Person&#8221;, as defined by the policies of the Exchange, Debentures issued to any such party will contain restrictions on exercise such that the holder will not be able to hold 20% or greater of the Company&#8217;s issued and outstanding securities prior to the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the new Control Person.</p>
<p>Proceeds from the Offering will be used to repay KS Centoco Loan, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering is expected to close on or about March 26, 2013, and is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions (including due diligence), and approval by the Exchange.</p>

(&#8220;ICI&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), (TSXV: IC) (OTCQX: ICIZF), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, announced today a change to the board of directors of the Company.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TORONTO, March 4, 2013 /CNW/ -</strong> <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/">Innovative Composites International Inc.</a> (&#8220;ICI&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), (<a href="http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=ic&#038;locale=EN">TSXV: IC</a>) (<a href="http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/quote?symbol=ICIZF">OTCQX: ICIZF</a>), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, announced today a change to the board of directors of the Company.</p>
<p>Mr. Andrew McConnell has resigned as a director of the Company. Mr. McConnell felt that the evolving business interests and potential partnerships moving forward between he and the Company placed him in a position of conflict as a director and, accordingly, that it would be more appropriate for him to resign from the Board.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were fortunate to have someone of Mr. McConnell&#8217;s caliber as a director of the Company, even if it was for a short period of time and although the loss of his expertise on the Board will be felt, we understand the reasons for his decision,&#8221; said Terry Ball , CEO of ICI. &#8220;We are excited about the discussions with Mr. McConnell regarding possible partnerships relating to fire retardants and the development of northern housing for use by First Nations communities, and mining companies doing business with First Nations communities. On behalf of the board of directors of ICI, I wish to thank Mr. McConnell for his services.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>February 11, 2013 – Toronto, Ontario</strong> – <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/">Innovative Composites International Inc.</a> (“ICI” or the “Company”), (<a href="http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=ic&#038;locale=EN">TSXV: IC</a>) (<a href="http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/quote?symbol=ICIZF">OTCQX: ICIZF</a>), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, announced today that it has received a demand payment notice from KS Centoco Ltd., the holder of the $2 million convertible debenture, requiring its repayment by no later than March 4, 2013. </p>
<p>“We are, of course, disappointed that the debenture holder chose to demand payment at this time.” said Terry Ball, CEO of ICI.  “In response, we are in active discussions with several potential sources of funding in both Canada and the United States, each of which has the ability to provide sufficient funds to repay the debenture.  We are also continuing to manage our cash resources by working to generate new revenue and by looking at ways we can further reduce costs. Our cash resources remain unchanged, other than in the normal course as a result of our burn rate, and this demand notice”    </p>
<p>The demand notice has no impact on the ability of the Company to continue its operations and business development activities between now and the demand notice payment date.  </p>
<p>“The Board has confidence in the Company’s management and business plan.” said Ken Keeley, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ICI.  “We believe that upon its successful resolution, based on the Company’s current initiatives and pipeline of potential customers, the Company will have the resources necessary to execute the business plan, whose short term objective is to generate sufficient cash flow to extinguish the burn rate.”  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>January 28, 2013 – Toronto, Ontario</strong> – <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/">Innovative Composites International Inc.</a> (“ICI” or the “Company”), (<a href="http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=ic&#038;locale=EN">TSXV: IC</a>) (<a href="http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/quote?symbol=ICIZF">OTCQX: ICIZF</a>), a producer of proprietary engineered composite products, reported today its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.<br />
“Fiscal 2012 was a challenging year for the Company as despite earning record revenue of approximately $3 million, we underperformed against expectations, primarily as a result of international housing contracts that did not materialize,” said Terry Ball, CEO of ICI. “The Company has broadened its offerings and is marketing into four distinct, but complementary market segments and our priority in fiscal 2013 is extinguishing the operating burn rate and becoming cash flow positive by focussing on business segments with shorter sales cycles, such as industrial applications and shelters and containers. We are also developing our capabilities in the fire retardant market segment working with positive test results to-date in the forestry sector.”</p>
<p><strong>Selected 2012 Financial and Operational Highlights</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Revenue was approximately $3 million for fiscal 2012, compared with $0.5 million for fiscal 2011.</li>
<li>Commenced production of specifically engineered enclosures for world leader in heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC”) equipment.</li>
<li>Developed RapTER (Rapid Tactical Emergency Response) shelters and containers for emergency relief, and oil &amp; gas and mining sectors.</li>
<li>Completed the acquisition of Eleison Composites LLC, a manufacturer of fiber reinforced thermoplastic skin material utilized in ICI’s products</li>
<li>Completed a bought deal public offering for gross proceeds of CDN$10.1 million.</li>
<li>Began trading on the OTCQX under the symbol ICIZF.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><br />
Highlights Subsequent to Year End</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Developed and tested new “load floor” design with attractive cost and weight attributes for the automotive sector utilizing RMor Skin.</li>
<li>Increased production volumes of specifically engineered HVAC enclosures</li>
<li>Entered final phase of testing with the US Forestry Service of Evergreen Hero fire retardant for forestry applications</li>
<li>Hired a new Vice President of Business Development to generate new business and increase business from existing customers</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Financial Performance</strong></p>
<p>ICI had revenue of $3,012,000 for fiscal 2012 compared to $487,000, for fiscal 2011. The revenue for the year was generated primarily as a result of the Eleison acquisition and the Company is working to generate additional revenue through its initiatives in the housing, shelters and containers, industrial applications, and fire retardant market segments.</p>
<p>Cost of Sales for fiscal 2012 (after deducting the reallocation of amortization and depreciation expenses that IFRS requires be included in Cost of Sales) was $2,383,000, compared to $399,000 for fiscal 2011. The Gross Margin for fiscal 2012 (calculated using the adjusted Cost of Sales) was $629,000 or 21%, compared to $87,000 or 18% for fiscal 2011. The Company expects that as revenue increases, it will achieve certain economies of scale and that the Gross Margin will increase accordingly.</p>
<p>Total expenses for the 12-months ended September 30, 2012 were $11.0 million, compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in expenses were the result of the overall expansion of the Company, specifically relating to the launch of the manufacturing facility in South Carolina, an increase in sales initiatives, ramping up several commercialization programs and costs incurred in new product and process development.</p>
<p>ICI recorded a net loss for fiscal 2012 of $9.9 million or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.17 per share, for fiscal 2011.</p>
<p>Cash flow used in operating activities for fiscal 2012 were $6.9 million compared to $4.1 million for fiscal 2011. The increase is primarily due to the previously referenced increase in operating expenses.</p>
<p>At September 30, 2012, ICI had cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million, compared to $6.6 million at the same date in 2011.</p>
<p>ICI has filed its financial statements for the fiscal year-ended September 30, 2012 and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&amp;A) with securities regulatory authorities. ICI’s financial statements, MD&amp;A and related documents are available via SEDAR (<a href="http://www.sedar.com/">www.sedar.com</a>) as well as through the Company’s website, <a href="http://www.innovativecompositesinc.com/" >www.innovativecompositesinc.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Board Action</strong></p>
<p>The Board has created a Special Committee of independent Directors to assess the Company’s business plan, prospects, and assets and, based on that assessment, to recommend the actions necessary to ensure the long term viability of the Company.</p>
<p><strong>Granting of Options</strong></p>
<p>The Company granted 1,000,000 options to the independent Directors of the Company, who are currently receiving no cash compensation for their services. These options are exercisable at $0.20 per share, which is a $0.10 premium over the closing price of ICI shares on the day prior to the grant of the options, and have a term of 7 years. These options vest on a straight-line basis over 12 months commencing on October 1st, 2012.<br />
The Company granted 1,450,000 options to certain officers and employees of the Company, some of whom have taken a voluntary temporary 25% salary reduction in order to reduce the operating burn rate of the Company. These options are exercisable at $0.20 per share, which is a $0.10 premium over the closing price of ICI shares on the day prior to the grant of the options, and have a term of 7 years. These options are subject to the following vesting provisions: 25% shall vest upon the Company’s South Carolina facility shipping commercial products having an aggregate value of $5 million; 25% shall vest upon the Company being cash flow positive for a combined 12-month period, upon the date that the financial statements of the Company evidence this and are publicly available; and 50% shall vest in 36 equal amounts with one-seventy second (1/72) of the options vesting on the first day of each of the 36 months following the date of grant.</p>
<p><strong>Conference Call </strong></p>
<p>ICI will host a conference call to discuss its 2012 fiscal year-end financial results on Wednesday, January 31, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. ET.</p>
