International Barrier Technology (IBTGF) 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure

News Release

For Immediate Release:

August 16, 2007

International Barrier Technology, Fire-Resistant Product Manufacturer, Reports a 65% increase in sales to the Commercial Modular Industry which serves to help offset reductions in sales to depressed residential markets.

Watkins, MN; Vancouver, BC August 16, 2007 -International Barrier Technology Inc. (“Barrier”) (IBTGF: OTCBB; IBH: TSXV), a manufacturer of proprietary fire-resistant building materials, reports growth of 65% in Blazeguard shipments and sales revenues into the Commercial Modular Sector for the month of July.  Barrier’s July shipments of Blazeguard to commercial modular construction grew to 488,900 sq. ft., from 296,200 sq. ft., year to year.  Total shipments, for the month of July, however, fell 14.9% to 618,100 sq. ft., due to continued softness in the residential construction markets which have been a traditionally strong market for Blazeguard sales.  Total revenues generated for the month were $417,561.  

Sales into residential markets, particularly multi-family residential construction, slipped nearly 70% in July, year to year.  Blazeguard July shipments into the residential roof deck market declined to 129,200 sq. ft. from 430,100 sq. ft. shipped in July 2006.  Some of the multi-family markets traditionally serviced by Barrier, particularly Florida, have been brutally affected by an abundance of existing unit availability, investor sale pull-back, and the tightening of mortgage availability.  

“Barrier is concerned by the softness in residential construction, but is pleased that our positioning in commercial modular construction over the past two years has paid huge dividends by helping make up for residential sales lost,” reports Michael Huddy, Barrier’s President and CEO.  “While the recovery in residential market construction is predicted to be slow to develop, it seems to us that the bottom of the decline has already been reached and Blazeguard residential sales activity has begun to increase as a result.  In some respects, the softness in new residential construction has enabled Barrier to focus internally and finish the technological improvements required to fully operationalize our new production line.  With renewed interest in the commercial portion of the structural insulative panel market (SIPs), and the essential adoption of the International Building Code in California, Barrier is well positioned to finish the calendar year in a very strong way, despite the residential market situation.”
