Item 5.03     Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year End

Effective October 31, 2012, Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. (the "Company") effected a name change to Crailar Technologies Inc.

This name change was effective under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as of October 31, 2012, pursuant to a Notice of Alteration that was filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies on October 22, 2012.

Concurrent with the change of name, the Company adopted new articles in the form approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's annual general and special meeting which was held on August 8, 2012 (the "New Articles"). Among other things, the New Articles facilitate the use of uncertificated shares and electronic record keeping systems currently in use worldwide. In addition, under the New Articles the Company increased the quorum requirement for meetings of shareholders from two shareholders (or one shareholder if there was only one shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders) to 1/3 of the outstanding shares of the Company. A copy of the New Articles is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report.
