Item 8.01 Other Events.
A. www.EnvironmentStocks.com (ES), an investor and industry news portal for the cleantech sector, provides insight into the growing support for 'green' technology by the insurance arena. Insurers are showing new strategic directions as they focus on reducing the risks associated with climate change in hopes of minimizing the occurrence and impact of natural disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes, etc. By reducing harmful greenhouse emissions, thus minimizing global warming, insurers are hoping to minimize losses, but also establish new revenue channels. The green building arena and its participants, such as environmentally friendly fire-resistant building materials manufacturer International Barrier Technology, Inc. (OTC BB:IBTGF.OB - News) (TSX VENTURE:IBH.V - News), are looking to benefit from the additional support of this sector, which is considered to be a driving factor toward future market growth. For further information, refer t o the press release attached as Exhibit #99.1.
