HONOLULU, Jun 24, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- BRN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Barnwell Industries, Inc., (NYSE Amex:BRN) ("Barnwell" or the "Company") announced today that Kaupulehu Developments, Barnwell's 78% owned real estate partnership, has closed a real estate transaction with WB KD Acquisition 2, LLC ("WBKD"), an affiliate of Westbrook Partners, LLC, developers of Kuki'o Resort in Hawaii and other mainland projects, modifying their 2006 agreement for the development of the Increment 2 portion of the approximately 870 leasehold acre Lot 4A area located adjacent to Kona Village Resort and Hualalai Resort at Kaupulehu, North Kona, Hawaii. Also, WBKD has now entered into a development lease with Kamehameha Schools, fee owner of the area. Increment 2 of Lot 4A is currently planned for approximately 400 residential units.

Kaupulehu Developments will receive future payments from WBKD based on a percentage of the sales prices of the residential lots, ranging from 8% to 10% depending upon several factors, and in addition will be entitled to receive up to $8,000,000 in additional payments once the members of WBKD have received distributions equal to the capital they invested in the project.

Mr. Morton H. Kinzler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Barnwell, commented, "This real estate transaction, together with their new development lease, will enable WBKD to move forward with the Increment 2 project which encompasses the remainder of Lot 4A, and we believe will enhance sales from the Increment I portion of Lot 4A which are currently underway. Increment 1's Beach Club and Interpretive Center are complete and project infrastructure is substantially complete. Kaupulehu Developments will continue to have long term interests in the project and the area."
