BELLEVUE, Wash., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ITEX Corporation ITEX, The Membership Trading Community(SM),a leading marketplace for cashless business transactions in North America, summarized its stock repurchase plan activity.

In its most recent Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on June 7, 2011, ITEX reported 92,125 shares of common stock had been purchased during the quarter, leaving approximately $1.57 million available for future repurchases under the plan.  The $2.0 million buyback program was first announced on March 9, 2010.

Steven White, Chairman and CEO noted, "From time to time we receive inquiries about the progress of our stock repurchase program.  The repurchase program follows the safe harbor provisions of SEC Rule 10b-18 and other legal requirements.  The actual number of shares we can repurchase depends on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, timing and volume restrictions and suspension of activity during quarterly blackout periods."

Mr. White continued, "Although somewhat limited by our trading volume on the OTCBB, our repurchase program continues to advance our goal of creating long-term stockholder value.  During the period from August 2003 through our 3rd fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2011, we have repurchased 521,125 shares, representing approximately 14% of the current number of common shares outstanding."
