INTERNATIONAL BARRIER TECHNOLOGY INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

(Stated in US Dollars)

(Unaudited)




Note 1

Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of International Barrier Technology Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2013. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2013. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.


Earnings per Share


Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period.


The treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted EPS for potentially dilutive stock options, which assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.


EPS for convertible debt is calculated under the “if-converted” method.  Under the if converted method, EPS is calculated as the more dilutive of EPS (i) including all interest (both cash interest and non-cash discount amortization) and excluding all shares underlying the convertible debt or; (ii) excluding all interest (both cash interest and non-cash discount amortization) and including all shares underlying the convertible debt. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, diluted EPS was calculated by including interest expense related to the convertible debt and excluding the shares underlying the convertible debt.


Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 because the inclusion of such securities would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2013, an aggregate of 9,230,000 potentially dilutive common shares, respectively, related to the outstanding stock options and convertible debentures were excluded from the diluted loss per share for the three months then ended.

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. 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 liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable 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.


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 $342,487 (June 30, 2013:  $371,926).


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, 2013, the convertible debentures had a fair value of $691,291 (June 30, 2013:  $431,022).


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 $171,108 (June 30, 2013:  $206,215).

The Company has a $100,000 revolving credit facility bearing interest at 6.25% per annum. As at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings on this facility.  The facility matures on March 1, 2014.


Note 5  

Convertible Debt


During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company approved the issuance of two convertible debentures to a director and a company controlled by a director in the amount of $300,000.  The debentures are being issued in tranches from $10,000-$50,000 and as at December 31, 2013 the Company had received $240,000 (June 30, 2012: $240,000) in respect of these debentures.  The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly, 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.  During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred interest charges of $14,400 (six months ended December 31, 2012:  $12,765) on these convertible debentures.

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.


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 reviews 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.


Sales revenue reported for the quarter ending Dec 31, 2013 was up 43% to $1,393,637 in comparison to $977,564 generated in the same quarterly period in 2012. Year-to-date sales increased 96% to $3,675,790 vs. $1,874,097.  Total sales volume, as measured by surface volume of product shipped, was 3,371,300 sq. ft.  This is a 35% increase from the 2,506,400 sq. ft. shipped during the previous period.  Sales for the six months ending December 31, 2013 (fiscal year-to-date) are up 100% to 8,931,800 sq. ft. vs. 4,457,400 sq. ft. in the same period in 2012.  


Shipments into the Residential Roof Deck, Wall Assembly, and Structural Insulated Panel Market Sectors (LP FlameBlock) increased 35% year-over-year during the three month period and 116% during the six month period.  For the six-month period, LP Flameblock sales were split between the NorthEast at 28%, MidAtlantic at 24%, West at 20%, Midwest at 16% and the South at 11%.  There were 1% of shipments of LP Flameblock into the Structural Insulated Panel market during this period.  


Sales into the Commercial Modular Market (FR Deck Panel) increased 33% in comparison to the previous year quarterly period and 65% year-to-date.  Six-month FR Deck Panel sales were split between the South at 73%, the West at 12%, the Midwest at 8%, and the East at 7%.  


Early in 2013, Barrier and LP executed a Supply Agreement that lasted from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2013.  The Agreement contained a provision to extend the agreement until December 31, 2014, upon mutual agreement of both parties.  Near the end of 2013, Barrier and LP Corporation had begun some productive discussions regarding Barrier’s expansion goals to develop manufacturing capacity in other areas of the US nearer to existing and potential markets.  As a part of the discussion, the topics of marketing strategy and appropriate minimum monthly volumes were to be addressed as well.







As time was running short at the end of the year, neither LP nor Barrier wanted to rush those important discussions and the decisions that will flow from them.  For that reason, we elected to extend the existing Agreement for 90 days to enable us to conclude those discussions and make whatever changes would be required to the Agreement without being rushed.  Barrier anticipates the conclusion of these discussions and a re-execution of a Supply Agreement prior to the current deadline of March 31, 2014.  


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 or outbound freight as LP supplies its own OSB substrate and contracts for its own outgoing freight.  The “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.


Cost of sales in the three and six month periods increased to $1,228,941 and $3,089,483 from $909,339 and $1,742,138 in the prior year comparable periods.  The increase is in direct relation to the increase in volume produced.  Barrier continues to capture gains in manufacturing efficiency as reflected in the six month average cost per sq.ft. of production which decreased by from $0.39 to $0.35 over the comparable period in the previous year.  


R&D activity has expanded from a continued focus on improving existing 1 and 2-hr certified wall assemblies to include some early exploration of developing fire-rated engineered wood products (EWP), including I-joist and Rimboard.  With the expanded use of EWP in applications for floor joists and Rimboard, as an alternative to solid sawn lumber, the importance of their performance in a fire has escalated tremendously.  Efforts to develop fire-rated EWP is in a very early stage, however, and the environment is clouded by the fact that building code requirements and the acceptance criteria for evaluating the suitability of fire-rated EWP are still being developed.  Barrier feels there is great opportunity here, however, and will continue to pursue techniques to fire treat EWP with our Pyrotite® Technology as the year progresses.


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 slightly from $153,187 in the first six months of 2013 to $157,633.  The expense reflects scheduled depreciation of new manufacturing line equipment and building improvements.  


Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $164,696 vs. $68,225 in the prior year quarter and $586,307 for the fiscal year-to-date period (vs. $131,959 in 2012). The gross margin, as a percentage of sales revenue, increased to 11% from 7% for the quarterly period and increased to 16% from 7% for the year-to-date period.  Improvements in gross margin were captured with gains in manufacturing efficiencies provided by improved production technology and efficiencies created by steady and increased sales volumes. Overhead costs are spread across a larger manufacturing/sales volume base.  Barrier is intently focused on continued strong gross margins.


Administrative expenses in the reported three month period decreased from $193,559 to $193,536 and increased during the six month period from $400,567 to $495,455.  The administrative costs per sq. ft. decreased quarterly (from $0.08 to $0.06) and year-to-date (from $0.09 to $0.06). The positive impact of increased sales volume reducing administrative cost per square foot shipped was captured during this reporting period. As volumes continue to increase, the trend for overall reduction in the average cost of administrative expense per sq.ft. is expected to continue.


Accounting and Audit Fees decreased in the quarter ending December 31, 2103 vs. the same time period last year ($14,566 vs. $14,572) and year-to-date ($61,732 vs. $67,004).  A significant portion of the cost for accounting services is involved with the year-end audited review and publishing of Barrier’s annual financials.  


Insurance costs have remained stable at $15,375 vs. $14,303 for the quarter and $33,791 vs. $32,767 for the six-month period.  


Legal fees for the quarterly period decreased to $6,510 and increased to $35,497 for the six months ending December 31, 2013.  For the same period in the prior year, legal fees were $14,938 and $20,017 respectively.  Legal fees were expended on activities in support of developing strategic partners and technology licensees.







Barrier has two US patents, a patent in Australia, and a recently acquired patent in Canada. 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 decreased from $16,019 to $4,413 during the quarter and from $22,573 to $11,678 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 staff of LP and MuleHide Products resulting in improved sales but also lower costs for Barrier.


Operating income (loss) of ($28,840) is being reported for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, whereas in the same period in 2012, a net loss of ($125,334) was reported. Income of $90,852 is reported for the year-to-date period vs. a loss of ($268,608) in the comparable year-to-date period in 2012.


The significant improvement in loss before other items is a result of increased sales volumes and focus on manufacturing efficiency. It is Barrier’s fundamental belief that sustained increased sales volume, in concert with the existing supply agreements with both MuleHide and LP Products is the best pathway to long-term 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 $174.  To compare, for the same reporting period last year there was a foreign exchange/interest income gain of $4,835.  Year-to-date, the foreign exchange/interest income loss was $2,054 vs. a gain of $7,070 in the prior year.

  

Interest on Long Term Debt has increased from $14,362 to $15,943 for the quarterly reporting period and decreased from $34,089 to $31,787 year-to-date as a result of bank refinancing.


Net Income (loss).  A net loss of $44,609 is being reported for the quarter ending December 31, 2013, whereas in the same period in the prior year, a net loss of $134,861 was reported. For the six months ending December 31, 2013, net income is $57,011 vs. a net loss of $295,627 in the prior year.


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 continue 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.  During the reporting period, Barrier announced a licensing agreement for the manufacture and distribution of Pyrotite® products in the European Union and Russia.  Barrier will provide technical assistance in the design of the first manufacturing line, the transfer of production process technology, and material acquisition criteria.  The license agreement provides for the payment to Barrier by the Licensee of a minimum annual royalty during the term of the agreement with an advance royalty payment on execution.  The agreement contemplates the Licensee developing additional production facilities over the term of the license and making additional royalty payments to Barrier based on these plants production.  The license agreement follows standard licensing protocol, which allows for the audit of manufacturing process and financial revenue information.  


The selection of Pyrotite® technology by the licensor after extensive research and testing of several other fire-resistant technologies adds additional credibility to our Pyrotite® technology and could lead to potential interest in other geographies.


Financial position & financings

Barrier ended the period with a working capital surplus (current assets less current liabilities) of $11,403.  Positive operating cash flow for the period ended December 31, 2013 was $100,709 in comparison to negative operating  cash flow of $80,855 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2012.


Barrier has a short term revolving line of credit ($100,000) at the local Farmers State Bank of Watkins, in Watkins, Minnesota.  As of December 31, 2013 the balance owing on the revolving line of credit was $0 leaving an additional $100,000 available for use until March 1, 2014.  Barrier is in the process of renegotiating this line of credit for another year.  In addition, two convertible debentures in the amount of $150,000 each were established in December 2011.  To date, $240,000 has been used on these debentures with an additional $60,000 available for cash flow if needed.


Investing activities resulted in net cash outflow of $88,020 the current period in comparison to a net cash outflow of $259 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 $64,546 in the current period compared to a net cash outflow of $12,687 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 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.


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, 2013, the company had received $240,000 in respect to these debentures.  As needed, the Company will draw the remaining $60,000 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 $0.10 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.


Current and Future Financing Needs

At December 31, 2013, the current cash and cash equivalents totaled $127,721; there was $100,000 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 year ended June 30, 2012, the Company approved the issuance of two convertible debentures to a director and a company controlled by a director in the amount of $300,000.  The debentures are being issued in tranches from $10,000 - $50,000 and as at December 31, 2013 the Company had received $240,000 (2012:  $240,000) in respect of these debentures.  The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly, 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.  During the six month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred interest charges of $14,400 (2012:  $12,765) on these convertible debentures.
