INTERNATIONAL BARRIER TECHNOLOGY INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

(Stated in US Dollars)

(Unaudited)




Note 1

Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern


The Company develops, manufactures and markets proprietary fire resistant building materials branded as Blazeguard in the United States of America and, as well, the Company owns the exclusive U.S. and international rights to the Pyrotite fire retardant technology.


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,025,981 (June 30, 2012 - $14,730,354) since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company expects to fund short-term cash flow requirements with remaining cash reserves and positive operating cash flow anticipated with increasing sales volume over the next year.  While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds for operations.


The Company was incorporated under the British Columbia Company Act and is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada (“TSX-V”) and the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States of America.  


These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2012. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year ending on June 30, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.


Note 2

Fair Value Measurements


The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term maturity of those instruments.  Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company under similar terms, the book value of long term debt and capital lease obligations approximate their fair values as noted below. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:


Level 1- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


Level 2 -  

observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or  whose significant value drivers are observable; and


Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

INTERNATIONAL BARRIER TECHNOLOGY INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

(Stated in US Dollars)

(Unaudited)




Certain of the Company’s cash equivalents, consisting of short-term term deposits, are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.


The Company’s long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the long-term debt is $445,457 (June 30, 2012: $467,880).


The Company’s convertible debentures are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments by discounting future cash flows using rates representative of current borrowing rates.  At December 31, 2012, the convertible debentures had a book value of $240,000 (June 30, 2012:  $200,000) and fair value of $340,745 (June 30, 2012: $309,185).


The Company’s capital lease obligations are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the capital lease obligations is $201,642 (June 30, 2012:  $231,906).

Note 5

Convertible Debt


During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company approved the issuance of two convertible promissory debentures to a director and a company controlled by a director in the amount of $300,000.  As at December 31, 2012 the Company had received $240,000 in respect of these debentures.  The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable monthly, and are collateralized by a third charge over the Company’s plant and equipment as well as a charge against the Company’s patents.  At any time, the notes are convertible into units of the Company at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder the right to purchase one additional share for $0.10 for a period of two years from the conversion date.

Note 8

Segmented Information and Sales Concentration


The Company operates in one industry segment being the manufacturing and marketing of fire resistant building materials. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and long-term assets are located in the United States.


During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, two customers accounted for 100% of sales revenue (three months ended December 31, 2012; 74% and 26% respectively; six months ended December 31, 2012; 69% and 31%, respectively) (three months ended December 31, 2011; 49% and 51%, respectively; six months ended December 31, 2011; 55% and 45%, respectively). The amounts receivable from each of these customers at December 31, 2012 were $94,983 and $11,385 respectively (2011: $67,869 and $35,568, respectively).


The loss of either of these customers or the curtailment of purchases by such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Description of Business

International Barrier Technology Inc. (Barrier) manufactures and sells fire-rated building materials. Barrier’s primary business is in the United States but through developing distribution partnerships is endeavoring to enter building products markets in Australia, Europe, and South America. Barrier possesses a proprietary fire resistive material technology (Pyrotite®) and a patented manufacturing process that when applied to building materials their respective fire resistant properties are significantly enhanced.  Many of the top multifamily and wood frame commercial builders in the United States utilize Barrier’s fire-rated structural panels in areas where the building code requires the use of a fire-rated building panel.


Barrier manufactures a private label fire rated sheathing product under contract for both LP® Building Products, Inc. (LP) and MuleHide Products, Inc. (MuleHide).  LP has been marketing a fire rated OSB trademarked LP® Flameblock® Fire-Rated OSB Sheathing (LP FlameBlock) since 2010 and MuleHide has been selling MuleHide FR Deck Panel (FR Deck Panel) to commercial modular building manufacturers since 2004.


Discussion of Operations

Barrier’s financial statements are filed with both the SEC (USA) and SEDAR (Canada) and are disclosed in US dollars utilizing US generally accepted accounting principles.  Barrier’s filings with the SEC consist of quarterly reviewed financial statements on Form 10-Q and annual audited financial statements on Form 10-K.  Barrier continues to file the above financial statements with SEDAR in Canada on their website at www.sedar.com.  Finally, we also make Canadian and USA reports available on the Company’s website: www.intlbarrier.com.


Sales revenue reported for the quarter ending Dec 31, 2012 was down slightly by 3% to $977,564 in comparison to $1,007,932 generated in the same quarterly period in 2011. Year-to-date sales decreased 10% to $1,874,097 vs. $2,093,220.  Total sales volume, as measured by surface volume of product shipped, was 2,506,400 sq. ft.  This is an 8% increase from the 2,327,300 sq. ft. shipped during the previous period.  Sales for the six months ending December 31, 2012 (fiscal year-to-date) are down slightly by 2% to 4,457,400 sq. ft. vs. 4,537,100 sq. ft. in the same period in 2011.  Commodity OSB substrate prices were significantly inflated from the end of August through September, affecting short-term sales of Barrier products.  Distributors only purchased enough material to cover customer deliveries, delaying any purchases for inventory.  Prices dropped back to more sustainable levels by early October and sales began to recover.



10






Shipments into the Residential Roof Deck, Wall Assembly, and Structural Insulated Panel Market Sectors (LP FlameBlock) increased 22% year-over-year during the three month period and 14% during the six month period.  For the six-month period, LP Flameblock sales were split between the South and Midwest, each at 26%; the Mid-Atlantic region at 25%; the West at 16%; and Canada 2%. There were 5% of shipments of LP Flameblock into the Structural Insulated Panel market during this period.  


Sales into the Commercial Modular Market (FR Deck Panel) decreased 18% during the quarter and 25% year-to-date in comparison to the previous year).  Barrier considers the recent decline in the rate of sales to the commercial modular industry to be a cyclical slowdown and anticipates improvement in sales volume back to at least levels seen in the previous year. Barrier, however, does intend to follow this trend closely in subsequent fiscal periods and will be poised to make shifts in marketing and sales activity should a different approach be deemed necessary to help sales improve into this important market


On January 18, 2011, LP and Barrier extended their existing Supply Agreement through December 31, 2012 with the opportunity to extend through December 31, 2013 should both parties agree. Barrier and LP are currently in the process of renewing the agreement and plan to be finished prior to month end.  LP is the largest producer of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) in the world and believes that Barrier’s Pyrotite Technology helps them achieve their strategy of providing “value added” OSB products to the building community. The agreement provides LP the exclusive right to sell Pyrotite® treated structural panel products in North America, in all markets other than commercial modular (MuleHide Products, Inc as long as minimum annual sales targets are met).


The relationship with LP has increased sales volume to historical levels and Barrier anticipates that sales will continue to grow substantially through the efforts of LP’s sales and marketing team.  Reported sales revenue for LP products, include only the charges for treatment services, not the underlying OSB substrate as LP supplies its own OSB substrate, and outgoing freight.  This pass through of the OSB substrate and freight serves to lower reported “top line” sales revenue, but not gross profits since margins on substrate and freight have historically been restricted to handling costs only to help keep prices competitive.  For the Commercial Modular market, Barrier purchases OSB from local distributors and invoices the cost of the substrate and outgoing freight to the customer, therefore the cost of the substrate and freight is included in revenue for Commercial Modular shipments.  


Gross profit for the period was $68,225 vs. $43,644 in the previous year (year-to-date $131,959 vs. $106,253 in 2011). The gross margin, as a percentage of sales revenue, increased to 7% from 4% for the quarterly period and increased to 7% from 5% for the year-to-date period.  Improvements in gross margin are anticipated with gains in manufacturing efficiencies provided by improved production technology and efficiencies created by steady and increased sales volumes. Overhead costs will be spread across a larger manufacturing/sales volume base.  Barrier is intently focused on improving gross margins through this fiscal year and beyond.


Cost of sales in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2012 decreased to $909,339 and $1,742,138 from $964,288 and $1,986,967 in the previous year.  The decrease is attributable to improved manufacturing efficiencies.  Barrier continues to capture gains in manufacturing efficiency as reflected in the quarterly average cost per sq.ft. of production which decreased from $0.41 to $0.36 for the three month period and from $0.44 to $0.39 in the six-month period.  As shipment volumes increase, Barrier expects that the fixed costs included in Cost of Sales will continue to decrease on a per sq.ft. basis and as revenues increase with improved volumes, gross margins will improve as well.




11





R&D activity has generally been focused on product applications in wildfire prone areas in the western US and for 1 and 2-hour rated exterior wall assemblies. Fire resistant exterior walls are often required where buildings are intended to be built close together.


Depreciation on plant and equipment is included in cost of sales category. Depreciation, which has non-cash impact on Barrier’s actual cash flow, increased year-to-date from $139,004 in 2011 to $153,187.  The expense reflects scheduled depreciation of the new manufacturing line equipment and building expansion.  Amortization, another non-cash category of reporting, of the worldwide Pyrotite technology (including patents, technical know-how, and trademarks) began when Barrier purchased it in 2004 and is fully amortized.   


Administrative expenses in the reported three and six month period decreased from $200,683 and increased from $367,552, respectively, to $193,559 and $400,567.  The administrative costs per sq. ft. decreased quarterly (from $0.09 to $0.08) and increased year-to-date (from $0.08 to $0.09). Changes in derivative value had the effect of reducing wages and management fees last year and there was a timing differential in the year-end accounting fee invoice.  Barrier continues to focus on how increased sales volume will help reduce admin cost per square foot shipped. As volumes continue to increase, a continued trend for overall reduction in the average cost of administrative expense per sq.ft. will be manifest.


Accounting and Audit Fees decreased in the quarter ending December 31, 2102 vs. the same time period last year ($14,572 vs. $35,163) and increased year-to-date ($67,004 vs. $61,642).  A significant portion of the cost for accounting services is involved with the year-end audited review and publishing of Barrier’s annual financials. The quarter to quarter cost differential reported here is related to the timing of invoices from each of these year-end reviews and is more even in the year to year comparison.


Insurance costs decreased to $14,303 for the three months and $32,767 for six months in comparison to $19,605 and $44,035 the previous year.  The difference is due to annually adjusted premiums based on larger annual sales volume discounts.


Legal fees for the quarterly period increased to $14,938 and to $20,017 for the six months ending December 31, 2012.  For the same period in the prior year, legal fees were $12,669 and $15,906 respectively.  Legal fees were expended on activities related to the year-end Annual General Meeting and in support of protecting Pyrotite® patents and trademark registration as well as for help in the drafting and review of certain business correspondence.  Barrier believes protecting its technology and trademarks is an important step in positioning itself to develop strategic partners and potential technology licensees.


Barrier has two US patents and a patent pending in Australia. These patents protect the manufacturing and process technology utilized in the production of fire-rated sheathing products utilizing Pyrotite.


Sales, marketing, and investor relations expenses increased from $6,357 to $16,019 during the quarter and from $12,736 to $22,573 year-to-date. During the period, there were sales trips directly related to the expansion of product markets.


Barrier’s cost for sales and marketing will continue to decline relative to sales volume as our partners, LP and MuleHide Products, continue to perform more and more of those functions themselves. Barrier remains active in a support role by providing necessary technical sales support but more and more of the day to day market and sales development activities are performed by the capable sales and marketing staffs of LP and MuleHide Products resulting in improved sales but also lower costs for Barrier.



12






Loss Before Other items of $125,334 is being reported for the quarter ending December 31, 2012, whereas in the same period in 2011, a net loss of $157,039 was reported. A loss of $268,608 is reported for the year-to-date period vs. $261,299 in the comparable year-to-date period in 2011.  Barrier is aware that continued losses can not be tolerated or absorbed by a company whose purpose in business is not only to make homes safer from fire, but to create profits as well. It is Barrier’s fundamental belief that increased sales volume, in concert with the existing supply agreements with both MuleHide and LP Products is the best pathway to profitability. Increases in Barrier’s sales volume are expected to follow the improving trend in home building starts in North America.


Other items. include income and costs not directly related to business operations.  Other income items reported during the quarterly period herein includes a foreign exchange gain and interest income of $4,835.  To compare, for the same reporting period last year there was a foreign exchange/interest income gain of $4,057.  Year-to-date, the foreign exchange/interest income gain was $7,070 vs. a loss of $10,016 in the prior year.


In March, 2010, Barrier issued, and sold in a private placement, 15 million shares of stock at the price of $0.10 CDN per share. In addition, the purchasers of the shares were awarded the right to buy an additional share (warrant) at $0.15 CDN. Barrier granted options that were exercisable in Canadian currency, whereas the functional currency of the company is the US dollar. As a result of these transactions, Barrier was required to record these instruments as derivative liabilities which are re-measured to their fair value each reporting period. During the prior year six months ended December 31, 2011 the Company reported a fair value gain of $511,741 for the period.  The warrants expired, thus no derivative value is recorded for the current period, nor are additional derivative values expected to have to be reported in subsequent periods.  Future operating financial performance should be easier to ascertain year over year without the non-cash derivative liability value.  


Interest on Long Term Debt has increased from $13,257 to $14,362 for the quarterly reporting period and from $24,966 to $34,089 year-to-date as a result of bank refinancing.


Net Income.  A net loss of $134,861 is being reported for the quarter ending December 31, 2012, whereas in the same period in the prior year, a net loss of $34,079 was reported. For the six months ending December 31, 2012, the net loss is $295,627 vs. a net income of $215,460 in the prior year.  Changes in derivative value affected net income in the prior year reporting period so comparisons year to year are affected by this non-cash item.


Barrier remains focused on cutting costs and improving efficiencies wherever it can.  This includes operating the manufacturing line with maximum efficiency. Keeping a vigilant handle on costs will help keep operational costs as low as possible and enable financial improvements to occur sooner and at lower volumes than previously possible.

New product and market development


Barrier continues to provide support to LP for new product and market development in activity directed specifically toward applications in areas where wildfires are prevalent. Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) zones, which are primarily located in the western US, are areas where special building codes have been developed to help save homes if a brush fire should occur. Becoming certified for use in these applications requires additional product development, including fire testing specific and unique to these fire hazard zones. In addition to these WUI applications, which are primarily associated with limiting the ignition of the exterior of the building, Barrier and LP are cooperating on the development of new, more cost effective, designs of 1 and 2 hour exterior wall systems designed to be used when houses are built in close proximity all over the US.


Barrier and LP have now successfully designed, tested, and UL certified a 2-hr exterior load bearing wall being currently being used in wood-frame commercial/residential buildings of Type III construction. As more architects and specifying engineers become aware of this new design Barrier and LP are confident that considerable sales will result for these projects.


Global licensing opportunities

Barrier continues to explore manufacturing and distribution opportunities for Pyrotite technology in geographies outside of the US.  


Financial position & financings

Barrier ended the six month period with a working capital deficiency (current assets less current liabilities) of $311,489.  Operating cash flow was ($80,855) in comparison to ($170,415) for the six month period ended December 31, 2011.


Barrier has a short term revolving line of credit ($50,000) at the local Farmers State Bank of Watkins, in Watkins, Minnesota.  As of December 31, 2012 the balance owing on the revolving line of credit was $45,000 leaving an additional $5,000 available for use.  In addition, a $300,000 convertible debenture was established in December 2011.  To date, $240,000 has been used on this debenture with an additional $60,000 available for cash flow if needed.


Investing activities resulted in net cash outflow of $259 in the current period in comparison to a net cash outflow of $50,386 in the prior year.  The cash outflow was the result of the acquisition of plant and equipment capital improvements.


Financing activities resulted in net cash outflow of $12,687 in the current period compared to a net cash inflow of $105,351 for the same period last year.  The cash outflow resulted from the repayments on long-term debt and obligations under capital lease.

There is no unqualified assurance that Barrier will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, Barrier’s operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will order products, the size of customers' orders, the demand for our products, the level of competition or general economic conditions.  These factors cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in their report on the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.


During the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued two convertible promissory debentures to a director and a company controlled by a director.  As of June 30, 2012, the company had received $200,000 in respect to these debentures.  As needed, the Company will draw the remaining $100,000 available.  The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum and are secured by a third charge over the Company’s plant and equipment as well as charge against the Company’s patents.  At any time, the notes are convertible into units of the Company at a price of $.10 per unit.  Each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the hold thereof to purchase an additional share for $0.10 for a period of two years from the conversion date.


Although management believes that revenues will increase, management also expects an increase in operating costs. Consequently, the Company expects to incur short term operating losses and negative cash flow until our products gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales, and/or additional products are developed and commercially released and sales of such products made so that we are operating in a profitable manner.


Current and Future Financing Needs

At December 31, 2012, the current cash and cash equivalents totaled $7,722; there was $5,000 in available funds to draw on the revolving credit facility, and an additional $60,000 available from the convertible debentures.  


The Company bases its estimate of future cash requirements on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and the requirements for cash are subject to factors, some of which are not within the control of the Company, including:


Increased costs of general and administrative expenses

Increased costs of raw materials and freight

Costs associated with the research and development activities

Costs associated with maintaining property, plant and equipment and intellectual property


Related Party Transactions

During the six months ended December 31, 2012 the Company incurred wages and management fees to the directors and officers of the company of $106,359.  The Company paid $92,618 in wages and management fees for the same prior year six month period.
