thousand, four hundred sq. ft. (2,155,400) of Blazeguard products were

month period ending March 31, 2006 were 58% higher than the 1,361,100

Fiscal year to date sales revenue has increased to $4,780,494 an
increase of 45%, from 2005.
Sales growth has been realized in both multifamily residential
markets as well as the commercial modular market. Blazeguard(R) sales
volumes into Florida, for instance, have increased to 1,118,000 square
feet, an increase of 119% over the 510,000 square feet shipped there
during the same quarter in 2005. Commercial modular sales to Mule-Hide
increased 48% from 539,500 to 801,000 square feet.
In addition, Barrier's sales force has begun to achieve sales into
the Midwest region multifamily residential market through the
conversion of builders previously using alternative methods of
attaining the required fire code. Sales orders continue to outpace
last year's rate at record levels.
"Barrier is well positioned to sustain growth at a rapid, but
manageable rate. Our focus for 2006 continues to be directed at sales
volume growth and to shift the majority of our required production to
the new manufacturing line. The new line is an integral and important
step in achieving our goals of new market development and improved
efficiencies of production. Attainment of these goals will provide a
significantly positive impact to our bottom line. We anticipate
continued success in the start-up process and the ability to shift
more and more of our production to the new line in the days ahead,"
states Dr. Michael Huddy, President and CEO.
