IKONA ACHIEVES RECORD REVENUE FOR ITS FOURTH QUARTER AND DOUBLES REVENUE FOR FISCAL 2007


COQUITLAM, B.C. -- December 11, 2007 -- Ikona Gear International, Inc. (OTCBB: IKGI) ("Ikona"), a provider of compact, lightweight, gearing systems solutions, today announced that it has achieved a record fourth quarter, ended August 31, 2007, with revenues in excess of $500,000 for the period. In addition, the company has doubled its annual revenue in fiscal 2007 to $1,041,789, from $464,213 in the previous fiscal year, ended August 31, 2006. Ikona currently has an order backlog in excess of $2 million and is significantly building its pipeline of new sales. The audited financial statements have been filed in its Form 10KSB with the SEC (www.sec.gov).
2007 Highlights Included:

Received purchase orders for $2,075,000
Raised $2,245,000 at an average price per share of $0.54
Significant milestone achieved with Magna Power Train for license of gear technology in first automotive application, with new applications being developed
Delivery of initial satellite pedestals for a major U.S. telecommunications company
Executed a distribution agreement with Amerimex Motor and Control of Houston, Texas. Amerimex has been instrumental in assisting Ikona with initial penetration into the U.S. market
Subsequent to Year End:

The company has raised additional capital of $1,656,000 at an average of $0.50 per share
The company has repaid in full the accrued capital and interest on a 10 percent convertible note totaling $1,200,000
"As demonstrated by the fourth quarter revenue, we have seen significant momentum build in demand for our products," said Ikona CEO Laith Nosh. "With our current oil and gas order book alone, we believe that our revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2008 could be more than double the total revenue for fiscal 2007."


About Ikona Gear International, Inc.
Ikona Gear is a knowledge-based company focused on the design and manufacture of innovative and patented solutions for gearing and power transmission applications, a $100 billion market. The Ikona gear system has features that we believe are better, stronger, more precise and generally superior to standard gearing systems. The Company's unique, patented technology is ideally suited for deep ratio, weight and size constrained applications where often it is the only superior solution. The Ikona gear technology is the only technology that enables internal gear-sets with only one tooth difference, resulting in a much higher meshing of gears, and significantly higher gear ratios — very important factors, especially in plastic gearing solutions.
