Note. Estimate of landed cost of 0 5 liter case.
I. Norway Production Model lsbre formerly owned a bottling facility in Norway at the Osa Valley
source (see Illustration 3).
• Using this bottling method, Isbre began deliveries of bottled water (1.0 liter and 0.5 liter
PET bottles, transported by container) to the U.S. in May 2006.
• lsbre completed the construction of a temporary bottling facility at the Osa source in
December 2005. The construction of a permanent facility was completed in December
2006 and expanded in October 2008.
• In February 2009, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Norske Glace
Limited, a UK company formed to distribute lsbre water in a number of European
countries. In May 2009, an affiliate of Norske Glace assumed ownership and operation
of the Osa Valley plant. Norske Glace personnel will load Isbre water into flexitanks and
tanker ships (see discussion below).

II. Flexitank to U.S. Model — 4th Quarter 2008
Isbre has outsourced production to existing bottling plants in the U.S. It will get the water to these
bottlers using an interim bulk shipping approach: transporting the water in flexitanks. A flexitank
is a single-use, heavy-duty plastic bag that is installed in a standard 20-foot container and holds
20,000 - 24,000 liters. Flexitanks are manufactured from FDA approved food grade resins and
are widely used for transporting a variety of high-value liquids. Isbre has shipped flexitanks from
its Osa source to a bottling plant owned by Leisure Time Spring Water, a licensed bottling
company located in Kiamesha Lake, NY. Isbre has also made U.S. bottling arrangements with
Union Beverage, a licensed bottling company located in Hillside, NJ. Flexitank shipments first will
be used for bottling 1.0 liter product but ultimately will be used for all sizes. Flexitank bottling
commenced in September 2008.
The Flexitank to U.S. model will reduce the U.S. landed cost per case by approximately $4.00
due to the reduced transportation and production expense. Further economies are expected as
flexitank shipments achieve a larger volume.
III. Tanker to U.S. Model — 2011
Isbre intends to eliminate as much shipping related cost as possible by creating the 'Tanker to
U.S." bottling factory model.
It is believed that lsbre's Osa Valley facility is the only location in the world where high-quality
water can be pumped from a natural source directly into tanker ships for low-cost bulk transport.
A combination of unique geographic and hydrogeological circumstances gives Isbre the singular
ability to enter into sales of bulk water.
The Hardanger is a deep-water fjord; the surrounding mountains form a seabed several hundred
feet deep. This waterway is affected by the warm water carried by the Gulf Stream; consequently,
the Hardanger does not freeze during the winter months. These conditions combine to allow a
large tanker ship to dock within 40 feet of the shore. Water can then be extracted directly from the
source and pumped into the ship. Once onboard, the water is distributed through stainless steel
pipes to the various stainless steel tanks (compartments) contained within the vessel; the number
of compartments will vary according to vessel size. Isbre bulk water is then shipped for bottling
locally, generating tremendous transportation cost savings. This bulk shipping capability
combined with lsbre's super-premium water quality gives it the potential to have unrivaled, best-
in-industry unit economics relative to all of its super-premium water competitors.
There is no new technology required to transport Isbre's water in bulk. Many food-grade liquids
are transported by tanker ships: olive oil, palm oil, soda syrup concentrate, orange juice, rum,
wine. scotch and other beverages. This type of shipping is so routine that an international
shipping protocol has been developed for the bulk transport of food-grade liquids.
The Tanker to U.S. model will further reduce the U.S. landed cost per case by approximately
$3.00 for both size bottles.
IV. Unprecedented Profit Margin Opportunity
As noted above, importing bottled product (as all other super-premium waters do) has a landed
cost of approximately $11.00 per case. This cost is reduced to approximately $7.00 per case
using flexitanks. and to approximately $4.30 per case with bulk tanker shipping. Isbre's unique

kE
ability to employ bulk tanker shipping produces a total landed cost of less than 50% of the cost of
other imported waters. Consequently, Isbre will be by far the lowest cost competitor in the U.S.
super-premium market. The tanker bulk shipment strategy will also permit production flexibility
and responsiveness and packaging size and innovation unprecedented in the imported water
industry.
As the lowest cost producer in the super-premium category, Isbre will be able to spend more
marketing dollars on a per-unit basis and engage in retail promotional activity that cannot be
replicated by competitors. For example, Table 10 below demonstrates that lsbre's bulk shipment
approach will enable it to generate healthy profit margins at price promotions simply impossible
for other super-premium waters to match.

costs typically run 50.5051 00 per case depending on case sales volume during the sale period.
For example, the $3.99 per six-pack major Feature ad at A&P (447 stores) would cost 55.000 and
would sell approximately 20 cases per store, equating to a cost of $0.56 per case.
V. The Time Charter Party Agreement
Isbre has entered into a Time Charter Party Agreement to arrange for bulk transport of its
water from the Osa, Norway source to its Pennsylvania facility with Jo Tankers of Bergen,
Norway, an internationally recognized shipping company that specializes in the transport
of liquids (see www.jotankers.com for a description of this shipping company).

kE
The term of the Charter is ten years, commencing in 2009. The first vessel to be utilized
under the Charter is the Jo Spirit (see Illustration 4). This vessel (built in 1998, summer
deadweight 6,285) carries 20 stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 1,366,970
gallons.
Illustration 4: Jo Spirit
The rate of hire for the Jo Spirit is $12,075 per day. Ordinarily, a "round voyage" between
Osa and Bristol would require approximately 28 days, including loading and unloading.
Since the Jo Spirit is currently under charter for the trip from the Caribbean to Northern
Europe, lsbre will have the advantage of a "back haul" opportunity and incur only about
fifty percent of the transportation expense that a dedicated charter would entail. The rate
of hire for larger vessels reaches $22,000 per day (for a DWT 39,273 vessel with
10,000,000 gallon capacity).
When U.S. production requires greater water delivery, Jo Tankers will substitute larger
vessels. The Jo Tankers fleet contains vessels with capacities approaching 10 million
gallons. Isbre and JoTankers have agreed upon the protocol for transporting Isbre's water.
Note: Other shipping companies have expressed interest in working with lsbre on bulk
water transport.
VI. The Bristol, Pennsylvania Site
The water will be unloaded into a stainless steel storage tank at the Riverside Industrial Center, a
60.5 acre site located on the Delaware River, north of Philadelphia, in Bristol, Pennsylvania (see
Illustration 5). The Riverside complex is owned by Constructural Dynamics Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Silvi Group Companies ("Silvi").

ISBRE
Illustration 5: The Riverside Industrial Center, Bristol PA
Isbre and Silvi entered into a Letter of Intent for Isbre to lease approximately 140,000 sq. ft. at
Riverside for a term (including renewals) of 35 years. The complex has a deep water bulkhead in
place; ships requiring a draft of up to 38 feet can be moored. As part of the lease transaction, Silvi is
taking Isbre shares in lieu of rent for a five-year period. Details of the Riverside lease appear in
Exhibit III. Note: The letter of Intent has expired, but Isbre is confident that it can reactivate the lease
on the same or better terms. Isbre maintains a good relationship with Silvi.
Isbre will develop the Bristol site and lease the building to a co-packer which will operate the bottling
plant. Isbre has a preliminary agreement with Linker Equipment Corporation, a 50-year old
international bottling equipment manufacturer and beverage bottling company.
The Bristol facility is an excellent location for logistic considerations. As shown in Illustration 6
below, the areas from southern Massachusetts to northern Virginia are within a 200-mile radius of
Bristol.

VII. U.S. Market — Packaging Plan
The Company's Flexitank to US and Tanker to U.S. arrangements also generate flexibility and
scalability. For example, the Company will be able to bottle "on demand' in different container
sizes according to customer requests, resulting in unprecedented production flexibility. Isbre has
already started exploring Tetra Pak containers as a way of providing additional flexibility in
packaging.
This "just-in-time" capability means that less storage space is required for raw material and
bottled product, on-site or off-site, thereby reducing warehouse expense.
The Company intends to market its water in the following sizes (see Illustration 7):
• 330 ml PET • 1.5 liter PET
• 0.5 liter PET • 3.0 liter PET
• 1.0 liter PET • 1.0 liter glass
Isbre will introduce a 1.0 liter glass bottle in 3O 2010. This bottle will be used for both still and
sparkling Isbre water. The renowned graphic designer Milton Glaser has been engaged to design
the glass bottle. An attractive glass bottle will support and enhance the fundamental value of the
Isbre brand and help it maintain a strong presence in the super-premium category, in the on-
premise and hospitality segments in particular.

Table 11 below shows forecasted growth in the U.S. Super-Premium bottled water market and the
anticipated volume increases for Fiji and lsbre. Recognizing current economic conditions, as indicated in
the footnotes, the forecast assumes future volume at significantly lower growth rates than historical levels.
Table 11 also reflects a conservative assumption that Isbre achieves only 13% of total Super-Premium
sales and 25% of Fiji sales in 2013.

The Non-US Market
While the U.S. market is clearly important for Isbre, the opportunity outside of North America is a
significant expansion opportunity for the company. According to data reported by Beverage Marketing
Corporation,
• Europe is the largest and most mature bottled water market worldwide.
• The bottled water market in Asia has almost doubled in size since 2001 and sells roughly 80%
as much bottled water as Europe.
• South America is a modest growth, modest size market, although two Latin American countries,
Mexico and Brazil, are among the top 10 worldwide in terms of bottled water consumption.
Preliminary exploration of non-US distribution opportunities has been promising.
• Isbre has entered into a distribution agreement covering a number of European countries
• Isbre has had preliminary discussions with three firms to distribute Isbre in South Korea. China
and Japan.
• Several firms have shown interest regarding bottled and bulk water opportunities in the Middle
East.
The Global Bulk Water Sales Opportunity
Isbre's bulk water sales strategy is quite simple: Isbre will sell water directly from its Osa Valley source to
bottlers and other purchasers. In most cases, bulk water purchasers will be responsible for all steps of
the bottling process, including commissioning the tanker which will take water from the Isbre source and
transport to a bottling plant. For Isbre, the sale of water in bulk offers gross margins in excess of
90%.
Until a comparable capability is developed, the Company will enjoy a compelling competitive advantage in
the ability to create and exploit the international market for bulk water sales. The extent and composition
of the bulk water sales market is unknown at this time. Prospective bulk water purchasers include:
bottled water companies, governments (for civilian and military consumption), beverage manufacturers
(e.g., beer, alcohol or other beverage producers seeking a large supply of ultra-pure water), and
humanitarian organizations.

Ownership
The Company intends to establish U. S. subsidiaries for distribution of lsbre and for each U.S. bottling
plant. The Company also intends to re-name itself (possibly as "Norwegian Water Resources, Inc.") to
remove the "Isbre" brand from the corporate name.
Capitalization / Public Market Status I Shareholders
Isbre's shares are currently listed on the Pink Sheets under the symbol ISBH.PK. It is a non-reporting
company. In Isbre's formative years, it was thought that it would be easier to raise equity capital as a
public entity. At this stage of development, lsbre management is flexible as to the whether it should
remain a public company.
As of September 1, 2009, Isbre had 17,812,992 common/voting shares outstanding and 26,978,283
warrants outstanding. The warrants have strike prices ranging from $1.00 to $4.50. The average strike
price is approximately $3.12. Approximately 95% of the warrants are priced at $3.00 or higher. If all
warrants were exercised, an additional $82 million would be invested in Isbre. The vast majority of the
warrants expire between 2014 and 2016.
Since August 2004. Isbre has periodically raised equity capital through the sale of common stock to high
net worth individuals and institutional investors. Equity raised during this time frame totaled approximately
$8 million.
The Warrant Exchange Program
In August 2009, the Company introduced a Warrant Exchange Program. The WEP seeks to achieve the
two important goals of raising needed capital for the Company and mitigating the "warrant overhang"
concern cited by several potential Isbre investors.
The Cash Exchange. Warrant holders have the option to exercise their warrants at 10% of the strike
price. Most of the warrants have a strike price of $3.00, translating into a $0.30 program strike price.
The Cashless Exchange. Warrant holders also have the option to exchange a warrant for a fractional
share of lsbre stock. Example: 10,000 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 can be exchanged for 0.3
share, producing 3,000 shares of IHC common stock. The different warrant strike prices and fractional
share amounts are as follows:
Warrant Strike Price Fractional Share
$1.00 0.90
$1.50 0.60
$2.00 0.45
$3.00 0.30
$3.20 0.28
$3.50 0.25
$4.50 0.15
As of February 1, 2010, 6,972,554 warrants have been exchanged for 2,205.458 shares in cashless
exchanges and 1,883,129 warrants have been converted into the same number of shares at the reduced
strike prices. Note: Since there is no way of predicting participation in the Warrant Exchange Program,

there is no way of predicting the number of warrants that will be exchanged or the amount of proceeds
that will be raised through the program.
Approximately 11 million shares, or 64% of total common shares outstanding (pre-Warrant Exchange
Program), are owned by employees and affiliated shareholders. Table 13 below shows the breakout of
the larger holders.
