SUMMARY INFORMATION


This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the shares. You should read the entire prospectus carefully before buying shares in this offering.

 

Our Company


We were incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on July 8, 1987, as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (“JCLC”).  We acquired all of the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange on July 13, 1987, and at that time Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.



 At this time we have no assets in Canada or have any Canadian directors.


Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation ("JCLC") was incorporated in the state of Oregon, USA, in September 1953.  During the next 31 years it developed a good reputation as a small lumber wholesaler based in Portland, Oregon.  In September 1984, the original stockholders sold their interest in the corporation to a new group of investors and two of those investors, Donald M. Boone, our President, and Michael Nasser, our Corporate Secretary, are active in our company today.


We acquired Material Supply International ("Material Supply") in early 1986 and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation.  MSI-PRO CO. was incorporated in Oregon, USA. We import and distribute   pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps through MSI-PRO CO.       


We bought some of the assets of a company called, AgriBioTech Inc. twoabout three and a half years ago. These assets were a group of buildings; thirteen plus acres of land; and, some miscellaneous equipment. These assets were located at 31345 N.W. Beach Road in Hillsboro, Oregon. We are presently using t histhis facility for seed and grain processing and storage ..storage. In October 2000 we incorporated a company that we called Jewett-Cameron Seed Company. Jewett-Cameron Seed Company was formed around the assets, which we purchased from AgriBioTech Inc. Today Jewett-Cameron Seed Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation and we store, process and sell seed and grain there.


Our wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwood Products, Inc. was incorporated in Oregon, USA in February 2002. We formed this company after Jewett-CameronJewett Cameron Lumber Corporation acquired the business and some of the assets of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc., of Portland, Oregon.  The assets acquired consistedThis business involves the processing and distribution of nearly $7,000,000 of inventory (at year end), which was scheduled to be purchased by us in eight installments over a two year period beginning in February 2002 for a price equal to the seller’s cost plus 2%. We also purchased associated furnishings, equipment and supplies for $260,000. We also purchased a license to use all of the intangible assets of Greenwood Products, Inc. for five years and we have an option to purchase these assets for a nominal amount at the end of the term. We paid for this business and the assets by using working capital and notes payable in September 2004.  Greenwood Products, Inc. is continuing the business of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc . We process and distribute industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers, through Greenwood Products, Inc.primarily in the transportation and recreational boating industries in the United States.  Approximately half of GPI’s sales are attributable to the recreational boating industry and are generally stronger during the winter months.  The value-added-nature of our wood components are that they will resist rust, rot and flame.  They also reduce sound and have a high degree of structural strength per pound.





In this prospectus “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Prospectus before you decide to invest in our common stock. There is a great deal of risk involved.  Any of the following risks could affect our business, its financial condition, its potential profits or losses and could result in you losing your entire investment if our business became insolvent.The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, also may result in decreased revenues, increased expenses or other events which could result in a decline in the price of our common stock.


1.

We may decide to acquire assets or enter into business combinations, which could be paid for, either wholly or partially with our common stock and if we decide to do this our current shareholders would experience dilution in their percentage of ownership.


Our bylaws give our Board of Directors the right to enter into any contract without the approval by our shareholders. Therefore, our Management could decide to make an investment (buy shares, loan money, etc.) without shareholder approval.  If we acquire an asset or enter into a business combination, this c ouldcould include exchanging a large amount of our common stock, which could dilute the ownership interest of present stockholders.


2 . We have no employment contracts or agreements with any of our Directors and Officer s and i f any of these individuals left our company we could experience a reduction in our revenues.   


We depend on Donald M. Boone and Michael Nasser to continue to work and develop our business. At this time we do not have an employment agreement with Mr. B oone or Mr. Nasser.  We cannot be sure that they will continue to manage our affairs in the future.  If we should lose the services of one or both of the se people , or if one or both of them should decide to join a competitor or otherwise compete with us this could result in a reduction in our level of sales as some or all of our customers could decide to order from them instead of us.


3 . Future stock distributions could be structured in such a way as to be diluting to our current shareholders.


If we raise additional funds by selling more of our stock, the new stock may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our existing stock .stock. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders.  The result of this would be a lessening of each present stockholder’s relative percentage interest in our company .company. This condition is often referred to as “dilution”.


4.We could experience a decrease in the demand for our products resulting in lower sales volumes, which would give us less capital with which to operate.


In the past we have experienced decreasing annual sales in the areas of home improvement products (sold thru JCLC) and industrial tools. The reasons for this can be generally attributed to worldwide economic conditions, specifically those pertaining to lumber prices; demand for industrial tools; and, consumer interest rates. If economic conditions continue to worsen or if consumer preferences change, we could experience a significant decrease in profitability.


5. Production time and the overall cost of our products could increase resulting in lower profit margins for our products if any of our primary suppliers are lost or if any of them increased their prices of raw materials.


Our manufacturing operation, which consists of cutting fencing material to specific sizes and shapes, depends upon obtaining adequate supplies of lumber on a timely basis.  The results of our operations could be adversely affected if adequateIf these supplies of raw materials cannot be obtained inlumber were not received on a timely manner or if the costsbasis, we could experience lower profit margins and possibly lose sales of lumber increased significantly.these products.                                  


6.Our shareholders could experience significant dilution if we issue our authorized preferred shares.


We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value per share.  Our preferred stock may bear such rights and preferences, including dividend and liquidation preferences, as our board of Directors may decide.  Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Common Stock and would cause dilution to these shareholders.


7 . Future stock distributions could cause a change of control to new investor(s).


WeAlthough we do not currently contemplate any offerings in the near future, we may consider a future financing that, , because of the size of the related stock issuance, could result in a majority of the voting power being transferred to new investor (s). The result would be that the new shareholder (s) would control our company and persons unknown could replace current management.  




8. Our significant customers represent 49%38% of our business and if we lost them it could be possible for us to experience a significant decrease in sales.


Our top ten customers represent 49%28% of our business.  We would experience a significantly adverse effect  ifIf these customers were lost and could not be replaced.replaced, we would experience a significant decrease in sales and would have to cut back our operations.


9. We could experience delays in the delivery of our products causing us to lose business.


We purchase our products from other vendors and a delay in shipment from these vendors to us could cause significant delays in our delivery to our customers. This could result in a decrease in sales orders to us adversely affecting ourand we would experience a loss in profitability.


10. We could lose our bank credit agreement and this could result in our not being able to pay our creditors.


We have a line of credit with U.S. Bank in the amount of $8 million. We are currently in compliance with the requirements of our existing line of credit. If we lost this credit it could become impossible to pay some of our creditors on a timely basis.


11. The limited daily trading volume

There is no minimum number of our common stock could make it difficult for investors to purchase additional shares or to sell their shares in the open market.


The shares of our company currently trade within the NASDAQ system in the United States and on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada. The average daily trading volume of our common stock is 500 shares in the United States and significantly less in Canada.  With this limited trading volume investors could find it difficult to purchase or sell our common stock.


11. None of the proceeds from the sale of sharesthat must be sold in this offering willand, consequently, our outstanding long-term indebtedness of $8,024,238  may not be placed in escrow and therefore there are no investor protections forreduced by the returnmaximum amount of subscription funds once accepted.proceeds we could receive from this offering.


We have not established a minimum amount of proceeds that we must receive in the offering before any proceeds may be accepted. Once accepted, the funds will be deposited into an account maintained by us and considered our general assets. None of the proceeds will be placed in any escrow, trust or other arrangement,arrangement; therefore, there are no investor protections for the return of subscription funds once accepted.


Although we currently have no Canadian Assets or Canadian Directors, if we do, you may be without any ability to sue us for violating U.S. Securities Laws and even if you can, you probably will not recover any money


We are a Canadian company. At the current time we have no directors and officers who live outside the United States nor do we have any assets in Canada or any foreign country. However, if we ever have any foreign assets or directors and officers who live outside the United States, and whose assets may be be located outside the United States it will be difficult for you to serve us or our foreign directors with a lawsuit in the United States. You probably could not recover any money  if you were to get a judgment, including judgments based on  violations of U.S. federal securities laws. It is extremely difficult for an investor to enforce a judgement obtained in U.S. Courts against a foreign person or business since Canadian law typically requires the suit to be brought in the appropriate Canadian Court. Further, you cannot sue us or our non-U.S. Directors in Canada for violation of U.S. federal securities laws since those laws  do not have force of law in Ca nada.

USE OF PROCEEDS


We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 500,000 shares of our common stock in this offering, based upon an assumed offering price of $7.00$10.00 per share, will be approximately $3,400,000, after deducting the underwriting discounts$4,875,000.  We estimate that our costs associated with this offering will be $125,,000, which includes legal, accounting and commissions and estimated offeringprinting expenses.


We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to reduce our level of debt.  Our level of bank debt   was $546,000 at December 12, 2005. Our total level of debt, as of August 31, 2005, was $8,024,238.

 

The amounts and timing of these expenditures will vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the amount of cash we generate from our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the balance of the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in applying the balance of the net proceeds.



DIVIDEND POLICY


Our board of directors has never declared a cash dividend. We do not have any present intent to pay any cash dividends. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business condition and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.




 DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE


The Offering price of the Common Shares was arbitrarily determined by us.  The factors considered in determining the Offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our operating history and the general condition of the securities market.  The Offering price is not an indication of and is not based upon our actual value. It bears no relationship to the current market price for our common stock, our book value, assets or earnings or any other recognized criteria of value.  The Offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of our securities.


 DILUTION


If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value of our common stock immediately after completing this offering.  The historical net tangible book value of our common stock as of MayAugust 31, 200 32005 was $ 7,910,501$9,514,120 or $ 5.14$6.21 per share. (Post-split)    The historical net tangible book value per share of our common stock is the difference between our net tangible assets and our liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.


Our pro forma net tangible book value as of MayAugust 31, 20032005 was approximately $ 8,121,246$9,638,795 or approximately $ 4.94$6.08 per share, , after giving effect to the exercise of share purchase options to purchase an aggregate of 105,00052,500 shares of common stock by cash payment of $ 210,745 .$124,675. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total net tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the pro forma number of shares of common stock outstanding before giving effect to the sale of the shares of our common stock in this offering.


A fterDilution if 100% of the Offering is sold


After giving effect to the sale of the 500,000 shares of common stock in this offering, at an assumed public offering price of $ 7.00$10.00 per share, less the estimated underwriting discount and commissions and other expenses of the offering, our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of MayAugust 31, 200 32005 would have been $ 5.55$7.08 if none of the stock options had been exercised and $5.37$6.79 if all of the stock options had been exercised .exercised. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share fully diluted of $ 1.63$0.58 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $ 1.63$3.21 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in the offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates the per share dilution option:

Dilution if 50% of the Offering is sold


After giving effect to the sale of the 250,000 shares of common stock in this offering, at an assumed public offering price of $10.00 per share, less the estimated expenses of the offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of August 31, 2005 would have been $6.67 if none of the stock options had been exercised and $6.37 if all of the stock options had been exercised. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share fully diluted of $0.16 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.63 per share (fully diluted) to new investors purchasing our common stock in the offering at the public offering price.

If dividends were to be paid, Canadian law states that in the case of dividends paid to residents not of Canada, the Canadian tax is withheld, which means only the net amount to the shareholder is paid.  Article X of the Tax Convention provides that the rate of tax on dividends paid to residents of the United States is generally limited to 15% of the gross dividend (or 10% in the case of certain corporate shareholders owning at least 10% of the Registrant’s voting shares).  In the absence of the treaty provisions, the rate of Canadian withholding tax imposed on non-residents is 25% of the gross dividend.  Stock dividends received by non-residents from the Registrant are taxable by Canada as ordinary dividends.

Currently there are no shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding warrants, rights or convertible securities.  The Company does; however,We  have 105,00052,500 share purchase options outstanding.






ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS


Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in one’s best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

 

 

The terms of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of discouraging a change in control. Such provisions include the requirement that all stockholder action must be effected at a duly-called annual meeting or special meeting of the stockholders and the requirement that stockholders follow an advance notification procedure for stockholder business to be considered at any annual meeting of the stockholders.

 

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

 

Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to stockholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude, delay or discourage stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the ability of stockholders to act by written consent. It further provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, a majority of our directors or committee of the board of directors specifically designated to call special meetings of stockholders. These provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to remove current management or approve transactions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests and, therefore, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to effect a change in our control or change in our management by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Charter Amendments

 

British Columbia law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater percentage.

 




O UROUR BUSINESS



General Development of Business


We were incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on July 8, 1987, as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (“JCLC”).  We acquired all of the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange and on July 13, 1987 Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.




Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation was incorporated in the state of Oregon, USA, in September 1953.  During the next 31 years it developed a good reputation as a small lumber wholesaler based in Portland, Oregon.  In September 1984, the original stockholders sold their interest in the corporation to a new group of investors.  Two of these investors, Donald Boone and Michael Nasser, are now associated with our company.  Donald Boone is our President and Michael Nasser is our Secretary.


Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation purchased another company, Material Supply International ("Material Supply") in early 1986.  MSI-PRO CO., incorporated in April 1996, is a successor to that company. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation and imports and distributes pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps under the name “MSI-PRO CO.”.  


Our wholly owned subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron South Pacific Ltd. ("JCSP") was incorporated in the Kingdom of Tonga in July 1990.  We closed our operations in Tonga in 2001.


OurA second wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation is Jewett-Cameron Seed Company (“JCSC”) was, incorporated in Oregon, USA in October 2000. We formed Jewett-Cameron Seed Company after we acquired certain assets of a notheranother company called AgriBioTech Inc. The assets that we acquired a reare located at 31345 N.W. Beach Road in Hillsboro, Oregon. The assets that we purchased were thirteen plus acres of land; 105,000 square feet of buildings; rolling stock; and, equipment.  We use this facility for seed and grain processing, storage and brokerage.  We now operate this business as a seed and grain processing, storage and brokerage business.


Our wholly-ownedthird wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwood Products, Inc. was incorporated in Oregon, USA in February 2002. We formed this company as a subsidiary of Jewett-Cameronafter Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation after we acquired some of the business and certain assets of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc., of Portland, Oregon. These assets consisted of nearly $7 million of inventory, some furnishings, equipment and supplies and a license to use all of the intangible assets of the seller for a five-year term along with an option to purchase them for a nominal amount at the end of the term. The initial acquisition price was paid from our working capital and we purchased the inventory utilizing capital provided by our working capital and working capital loans. Greenwood Products, Inc. is continuing the business of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc.  This business involves the processing and distribution of industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers.manufacturers, primarily in the transportation and recreational boating industries in the United States.  Approximately half of GPI’s sales are attributable to the recreational boating industry and are generally stronger during the winter months.  The value-added-nature of our wood components are that they will resist rust, rot and flame.  They also reduce sound and have a high degree of structural strength per pound.

Lumber and Buillding Materials


Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation


Our subsidiary JCLC operates out of facilities located in North Plains, Oregon, and Ogden, Utah.Oregon. Through Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation we compete in the following business segments: warehouse distribution and direct sales of building materials to home improvement centers which are located primarily in the Pacific and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States; the export of finished building materials to export customers who are located primarily in Central and South America; and, we sell specialty wood products for both government and industrial sale. This area of our business is done primarily on a contract-bid basis. This means that we only sell products after we have been told that our bids for these products were accepted and we are given a contract, which states that our customers will purchase the products from us.


During Fiscal 2002/2001/2000,2005/2004/2003, sales of Greenwood Products, Inc., which is a subsidiary of our subsidiary Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation in combination with the sales ofby Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation to home improvement centers represented about 92.2%/87.6%/95.3%18%, 18% and 13%, respectively of our total revenue; with export, industrial tools and seed processing and sales representing 7.8%/12.4%/4.7%8%, 8% and 7% respectively.  The Fiscal 2002 decrease in the percent related to export, industrial tools and seed processing and sales was a result of the increased revenues from the first partial year of operations, which included the Greenwood Products, Inc.


Through JCLC we sell products to the home improvement industry. This is an industry that, in the past, has not been subject to major business cycles; however, the current economic downturn has been detrimental for this market and we have experienced a decrease in the sale of these products. Traditionally, the new home construction portion of the lumber industry is highly sensitive to the US economy and interest rates and this industry usually suffers during periods of economic decline and high interest rates because of the reduction in housing starts.  Through JCLC we have concentrated on building a customer base in the residential repair and remodeling segment of the industry because we believe that this is a growing market that is fueled by professional remodelers and do-it-yourself homeowners.  We believe that this market is less sensitive to downturns in the U.S. economy than is the market for new home construction.


The products that we sell through JCLC are not unique and with few exceptions are available from multiple suppliers; however, the service which we provide is unique in that it includes bar coding of all products; shrink wrapping of all individual orders; and, just in time delivery to most customers.


Our current products in this area are:

Fencing – A mix of widths, heights, textures, species, prefabricated panels, split rail, and pickets that are appropriate for the home improvement centers and a similar array of posts, post caps, and rails.


Residential Decking – A selection of widths, lengths, species, treated and stained products along with accessories

          such as railings and step risers.

Lattice

- Stained, painted, and natural panels as well as a selection of vinyl panels.


Garden Timbers – Treated, untreated, or stained including cherry tone garden ties, bender board, stakes and lath.

Gates

Arbors

Pine shelving and furring.

Fire retardant dimension lumber and plywood.

Plywood and oriented strand board.

Dowels

Kennels

Greenhouses

Portable storage buildings

Outdoor seating

Non-wood items which we sell through Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company include kennels, greenhouses, portable storage buildings, metal gates and metal fencing.  These items are sold in the home improvement departments of our customers.


Our distribution center and headquarters office facility in North Plains, Oregon was completed in November 1995.  This complex includes 40,000 square feet under roof of warehouse, office, and manufacturing space on five paved acres.

This facility gives us the ability to provide a broad range of products and services to our customer base which is located between Northern California and Alaska.


We also own a distribution complex in Ogden, Utah, with a 25,000 square foot warehouse and 3,500 square feet of office space on a total of 30 acres.  This facility services customers in the Rocky Mountain Region including the states of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and northern Nevada.


Inventories are maintained at both of these facilities and are shipped from them to home improvement center customers.  During the season’s peak, some of the material, which we sell, is also shipped directly from the producing mill to the customer; as a result, we sell both out of our warehouse facilities and mill direct.


We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions relating to any of our products and as a result they are not factors in our business.


Historically, we have received commitments from a number of large home improvement chains in the late fall/early winter to supply products to them at a fixed price for a specified period of time; i.e., for three months of firm pricing once the season begins. We see no reason for this situation to change in the future.


Below is a list of our major customers customers from whom we derive 10% or more of our revenues and the percentage of our total sales from each one of them.

The home improvement business is seasonal, with most of our sales in this industry occurring between February and August.  As mentioned earlier, historically we have negotiated an agreement with each of our major home center customers in the fall of the year for the coming home improvement season.  Our deliveries for the new season to these customers normally begin in late February.


We begin buying inventory for the next home improvement season in late fall each year.  Consequently, an inventory buildup occurs until the heavy selling by us begins in February.  Our inventories continue to remain high for a few months and then gradually decline to seasonal low levels at the end of the summer.


Backlog orders are not a factor in our business.  We only process orders on an as-needed basis.


No material portions of our business are subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the government.


The home improvement center industry is highly competitive.  Many of our primary competitors are much better financed and have more sophisticated national distribution networks than we do.  Our competitors include: (1) Georgia-Pacific, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with distribution centers throughout the service area; (2) Weyerhaeuser, headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, with distribution centers throughout the service area; (3) Boise Cascade, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, with several distribution centers in the service area; and (4) OREPAC Building Products, headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, with several distribution centers in the service area.  These competitors, particularly Georgia Pacific, Weyerhaeuser, and Boise Cascade, have product lines which are substantially broader than ours, and therefore reference to their annual sales includes many more product lines than those sold by us.


Our home improvement center market area consists of stores in Alaska, northern California, Oregon, and Washington.    We sell and deliver to these stores from our facilities in North Plains, Oregon. We sell and deliver to our customers located in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and northern Nevada from our facility in Ogden, Utah.  


During the spring of 1993, we acquired a manufacturing plant to produce several lines of products for home improvement center customers.  The plant was moved to a larger facility in Portland in August 1993, and subsequently was moved to an existing building at our North Plains facility in March 1995.  At this plant we custom cut cedar fencing productsmanufacture diving board blanks and pine boards.scaffold planking..






Seed Processing and Sales


Jewett-Cameron Seed Company (“JCSC”),


JCSC brings unmarketable seeds from customers and processes it so that it becomes marketable. Processing means removing imperfect, lightweight, hollow seeds which cannot germinate normally, as well as removing field impurities, weeds, and noxious weed seed. JCSC also bags, palletizes, shrink wraps, stores and subsequently ships the product. JCSC performs the foregoing services for growers and/or for themselves in the case where JSCS buys the "raw product".


Industrial Tools/Clamps


MSI-PRO CO.


MSI-PRO CO. operates from the same facilities as JCLC. Through MSI-PRO CO. we import and distribute both pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps.  We sell these products throughout the United States and Canada to distributors and original equipment manufacturer customers.  These sales are made through a network of agents and representatives, each of whom is an independent contractor representing between 10-to-15 other manufacturers who sell to similar customers but are not selling competing lines.  Through MSI-PRO CO. we have agents and representatives that cover major industry groupings including industrial suppliers, automotive suppliers, and woodworking suppliers.


The pneumatic air tools, manufactured and sold under the name MSI-PRO CO., are of a light industrial application and are moderately priced.  MSI-PRO CO. exclusively markets the MSI-PRO CO. line.


The industrial clamps are somewhat newer to us.  The line is high quality and moderately priced and covers a wide variety of potential customers.


The products that we sell through MSI-PRO CO. have been manufactured for us by several suppliers in Taiwan and South Korea.  More than one supplier is able to manufacture all of our products.


Sales of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps are not seasonal.


MSI-PRO CO. is a registered trademark in the United States and Canada.  We do not have any other patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions.  


The market for pneumatic air tools is very competitive.  In this industry we face competition from better financed companies with more sophisticated sales forces and more sophisticated distribution networks. The U.S. market for pneumatic air tools is currently approximately $1 billion in annual sales, of which 60% are manufactured in the United States and 40% are imported.  The best known US manufactured lines are Chicago Pneumatic and Ingersoll-Rand, which rank #1 and #2 in overall size in the industry.  A smaller line, Sioux, is also manufactured in the United States.  The two largest imported lines today are Florida Pneumatic and Astro Tools.  Others include Sunnex, Ames, and Eagle.  Our sales in this industry representsrepresent a very small fraction of the market.  Our current market strategy that allows us to compete in the pneumatic air tool and industrial clamp markets includes brand name and company recognition, moderate to low price, and continued development of a manufacturer representative organization which covers all of the major users of the tools.


The U.S. sales volume in industrial clamps is approximately US$400 million annually.  There are fewer competitive lines available and we expect to gain a larger share of the market in industrial clamps than in pneumatic air tools.


There are no customers that purchase 10% or more of our products in any one year.  Our backlog orders are not a major factor. No portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the government.


Jewett-Cameron South Pacific Ltd.

Our Tongan corporation, JCSP, until Fiscal 1999, consisted of three retail building material yards located on separate islands of the Kingdom of Tonga.  Products which we sold included finished lumber, plywood, hardboard, cement, roofing, rebar, windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, floor tile, and other miscellaneous building materials.


In Fiscal 1999 we made the decision to wind down our operations in Tonga and, as of August 31, 2001, we had no remaining interests in Tonga.

One of our subsidiaries is a  plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in Portland, Oregon, entitled,Greenwood Products, Inc. et al v. Greenwood Forest Products, Inc., et al., Cause No. 05-03-02553 (Multanomah County Circuit Court).  The litigation involves a purchase agreement to acquire inventory from Greenwood Forest Products Inc (“GFP”).  The amount in dispute is approximately $600,000, with a trial date anticipated in the middle of March 2006. We are vigorously pursuing the matter and believe we will ultimately succeed on the merits..

There are no restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.  We have not declared any dividends since incorporation and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future because our present policy is to retain future earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.


If dividends were to be paid, Canadian law states that in the case of dividends paid to residents not of Canada, the Canadian tax is withheld by us, which remits only the net amount to the shareholder.  By virtue of Article X of the Tax Convention, the rate of tax on dividends paid to residents of the United States is generally limited to 15% of the gross dividend (or 10% in the case of certain corporate shareholders owning at least 10% of the our voting shares).  In the absence of the treaty provisions, the rate of Canadian withholding tax imposed on non-residents is 25% of the gross dividend.  Stock dividends received by non-residents from us are taxable by Canada as ordinary dividends.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following discussion ofrelates to our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended 8/31/2002, 20012005, 8/31/2004, and 20008/31/2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.


Results of Operations.


Three months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002:


Our operations are classified into four principle industry segments: salesthe sale of lumber and building materials sales of wood products with industrialto home improvement centers in the United States; the processing and OEM applications, salessale of industrial products to original equipment manufacturers in the United States; the sale of pneumatic air tools and salesindustrial clamps in the United States; and, the processing and sale of processed agricultural seeds and grain.in the United States. Sales of building materials have traditionally consisted of wholesale sales of lumber and building materials in the United States. This has transitioned to include both wood and non-wood items.  Sales in this category are attributable to Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of woodours and consist primarily of home improvement products with(sold thru JCLC) such as fencing materials, dimension lumber, green houses, dog kennels, outdoor umbrellas, etc. These sales occur year-round; however, they are greater in the spring and summer months. Sales a nd processing of industrial and OEM applicationsproducts to original equipment manufacturers consist of wholesale sales of wood products primarily to the transportation and recreational boating industries in the United States. Sales in this category are attributable to Greenwood Products, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation. Approximately 50% of Greenwood Product’s sales are attributable to the recreational boating industry and are generally stronger during the spring and summer months. Sales of pneumatic air tools and industrial toolsclamps consist of the distribution of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States. Sales in this category are attributable to MSI-PRO Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of processedJewett Cameron Lumber Corporation.   The processing and sale of agricultural seeds and grain consistconsists of the distribution of processed agricultural seeds and grain in the United States. Sales in this category are attributable to Jewett Cameron Seed Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation. Harvest months in the Northwest are June through September, and, consequently, a greater portion of the revenues attributable to Jewett Cameron Seed Company occurs during this time of year. Our major distribution centers arecenter is located in North Plains, Oregon and Ogden, Utah.Oregon.


For

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the third quarteraudit of our consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year ended  MayAugust 31, 2003, sales decreased 23.5%2005, our independent auditors did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.  As a result, we did not receive an adverse attestation from our independent auditors regarding Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance.


Results of Operations.


Fiscal 2005 Ended August 31, 2005 versus Fiscal 2004


Sales increased 5% to $14,998,178$74.6 million during Fiscal 2005 as compared to $19,597,409$71.3 million in Fiscal 2004.  The majority of the increase in our sales was attributable to Greenwood Products. Sales of industrial wood products by Greenwood increased $2.7 million. This was due to an enlarged customer base and fluctuations in the price of raw materials that were passed on to our customers.


Sales of building materials and components of the home improvement business by Jewett Cameron Lumber increased $564 thousand. The increased sales of lumber and building materials resulted from the introduction of new products, which occurred two years ago. These products include dog kennels, greenhouses and outdoor patio accessories. The market awareness of these products has increased since their introduction, because of the increased use of manufacturer’s representatives, which resulted in a greater number of sales personnel covering the market.


Gross profit for Fiscal 2005 increased 13% to $9.29 million as compared to $8.24 million for the same quarterfiscal year ended August 31, 2004. The gross margins increased because we have been able to charge our wholesale customers higher prices. (The introductory pricing utilized during the introduction of the previousnewer products was increased during the past two years and accepted by the customers.)


Operating expenses increased by $742 thousand comparing Fiscal 2005 with Fiscal 2004. Both general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense increased slightly. The more substantial increased occurred in the category of wages and employee benefits, which increased, by $694 thousand comparing Fiscal 2005 with Fiscal 2004. The primary reasons for the increase in this category were medical insurance increases and additional performance bonuses.


Because of reduced inventory levels, financing and interest expense decreased by $46 thousand comparing Fiscal 2005 with Fiscal 2004.


Net Income increased to $931,088 in Fiscal 2005 from $567,140 in Fiscal 2004.  Basic Earnings Per Share were $0.63 for Fiscal 2005 compared to $0.39 for the prior fiscal year; Diluted Earnings Per Share were $0.60 in Fiscal 2005 compared to $0.37 for the prior fiscal year.


Net incomeIndustrial Wood Products (Greenwood Products Inc.)


This division’s sales increased 5% to $55.4 million in Fiscal 2005 (FY2004 = $52.7 million).  Revenue was again enhanced by strong sales to the boat building and transportation industries (bus, subway, specialized truck carriers, etc.).  Before the end of the fiscal year, we broadened our supplier contacts.  We have a practice of providing short-term fixed-price supply agreements and fixed price sales agreements up to three months. Divisional profitability decreased by 3% for the quarter was $215,723 which represents a 34% decreaseFiscal Year ended August 31, 2005 as compared to the third quarterFiscal Year ended August 31, 2004.  This decrease occurred because of normal fluctuations in the price of raw materials and the use of introductory pricing for new customers.

Lumber and Building Materials (Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company)


Our lumber and building material division’s sales rebounded again in Fiscal 2005 in response to new products introduced in mid-2003, reversing the declines in recent years.  Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company again recorded a loss in the amount of ($156,902) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 as compared to a loss in the amount of ($581,070) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. Losses within this division have occurred during the last three fiscal years because of the lastcontinued restructuring costs associated with the the new product lines and new customer base. We believe that profitability within this division will begin to occur during fiscal year2006 when net income was $326,427.  all the previous restructuring becomes finalized.


Basic e arnings per share were $0.15 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2003 compared to $0.23 for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.


The principal reasons for the 23.5% decrease in sales during the third quarter of Fiscal 2003 and the 34% decrease in net income were reductions in our raw commodity sales (fencing materials, decking materials and landscape materials) and in products associated with marine applications.

We attribute the decreaserevenue improvement to the successful introduction of new “non-wood” products, including kennels, greenhouses, portable storage buildings, outdoor seating, metal gates and metal fencing.  Such products represented nearly three-fourths of sales, which is consistent with FY2004.  This broader product line continues to allow us to utilize our strong marketing contacts at the big-box home improvement retailers and to gain entry into a more diversified mix of retailers We manufacture these new products, through supply contracts in raw commodityAsia.  


Seed Processing and Sales (Jewett-Cameron Seed Company)


Sales attributable to Jewett-Cameron Seed Company were virtually the same during FY2005 as they were in FY2004.

Fiscal 2004, ended August 31st vs. Fiscal 2003


Sales increased 29% to $71.4 million during Fiscal 2004 as compared to $55.4 million in Fiscal 2003.  The increase in sales was across the board, with particular strong growth at Greenwood Products Inc. and the turn-around of business at Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company.


Gross profit for Fiscal 2004 only increased 7% to $8,240,362, despite the 29% increase in sales because of a 32% increase in cost of goods sold.  Shifting product mix and higher costs led to the increased costs.  As a percent of revenue,  cost of goods sold has risen consistently for the last four years: Fiscal 2004 = 88%; Fiscal 2003 = 86%, Fiscal 2002 84%, and Fiscal 2001 = 81%.


Operating expenses were substantially unchanged at $7.0 million in Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2003.  General/Administrative expenses increased 40% ($714,158) during Fiscal 2004; Depreciation/Amortization increased 6% ($19,810); and Wages/Employee Benefits decreased 14% ($681,741).


General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue rose to 3.5% after several years of decline: Fiscal 2003 = 3.2%; Fiscal 2002 = 3.4%; and Fiscal 2001 = 5.1%.  Management attributes higher professional fees (accounting/legal/etc.) related to the Greenwood Products Inc. acquisition, the proposed stock offering, and corporate changes for the increase in G&A expenses.  Lower Wages/Employee Benefits are materially attributable to efforts at all divisions to control costs, with the shifting product mix at Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company resulting in less labor-intensive operations.


Interest expense increased 13% Fiscal 2004 to $391,246.  The primary reason for the increase was the higher level of borrowing resulting from the increased level of inventory required to support the elevated sales level of Fiscal 2004.


Net Income increased to $567,140 in Fiscal 2004 from $294,144 in Fiscal 2003.  Basic Earnings Per Share were $0.39 for Fiscal 2004 compared to $0.20 for last year; Diluted Earnings Per Share were $0.37 in Fiscal 2004 compared to $0.19 for last year.


Industrial Wood Products (Greenwood Products Inc.)


This division’s sales increased 19% to $52.7 million in Fiscal 2004 (FY2003 = $44.2 million).  Revenue was enhanced by strong sales to a lowering of demand for these items brought about by current economic conditions. We believe that consumers are postponing replacing or installing such items as decksthe boat building and fences becausetransportation industries (bus, subway, specialized truck carriers, etc.).  Before the end of the fiscal year, the Company had broadened its supplier contacts.  The Company, once again, is able to obtain fixed-price supply agreements and fixed price sales agreements on a forward three-month basis; reversing this year’s situation mid-year when suppliers’ price increase were outside such agreements.  Also, reduced inventory costs resulted from the end of the purchasing of inventory pursuant to the acquisition agreement.  Divisional profitability more than doubled $1,668,685 for Fiscal 2004 (FY2003 = $730,781).  Divisional profitability was 32% of revenue (FY2003 = 17% and FY2002 = 24%).


Lumber and Building Materials (Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company)


This division’s sales rebounded in response to new products introduced in mid-2003, reversing the declines in recent years.  Divisional profitability was weak because restructuring costs associated high costs.  with the manufacturing facility and the new product lines; turning into a “manufacturer” rather than a distributor.

Revenue:                   Divisional Income:

FY2004: $12.8 million              ($581,070)

FY2003: $ 7.1 million              ($124,928)

FY2002: $14.7 million               $427,496


Management attributes the revenue improvement to the successful introduction of new “non-wood” products, including kennels, greenhouses, portable storage buildings, outdoor searing, metal gates and metal fencing.  Such products represented nearly three-fourths of sales, versus less than 10% in FY2002.  This broader product line allowed the Company to utilize its strong marketing contacts at the big-box home improvement retailers and to gain entry into a more diversified mix of retailers.  In recent years, in an attempt to strengthen their profitability, the big-box retailers (Lowe’s, Home Depot, Fred Meyer, etc.) have decreased inventory purchases from “middlemen” like the Company in favor of “manufacturers”, such as Georgia-Pacific and Weyerhaeuser.  The Company “manufacturers” these new products, through supply contracts in Asia, and is again a favored supplier to these potentially large customers, buoyed b y its strong customer service capabilities.


Seed Processing and Sales (Jewett-Cameron Seed Company)


Sales grew 50% this year and profitability nearly doubled.  Management attributes this growth to successfully marketing efforts and a new price structure for product/services.

Revenue:                   Divisional Income:

FY2004: $4.8 million       $ 91,741

FY2003: $3.2 million       $ 46,114

FY2002: $2.6 million       $249,526

Seed inventory levels fell materially because a change from “holding” inventory for sale to collecting “storage fees” for future sale.


Industrial Tools


Sales grew 13% to $1,000,135 and profits fell 13% to $89,941.  Management attributes the decline in profitability to personnel changes and wholesale pricing differences, and corporate re-structuring.

Revenue:                   Divisional Income:

FY2004: $1,000,135         $ 89,941

FY2003: $  878,966         $103,362

FY2002: $  776,545         $ 89,043



Fiscal 2003, ended August 31st vs. Fiscal 2002


Sales increased 27% to $55,368,587 during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002 when sales were $43,625,125. (Sales for Fiscal 2001 were $22,112,954.) The twenty seven percent increase in sales during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002 was due primarily to the contribution of Greenwood Products, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company.  Fiscal 2003 was the first full fiscal year that Greenwood Product, Inc. operated as a subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company, whereas in Fiscal 2002 it only operated for six months.  Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours also contributed with an increase in sales of $614,968 or 23.5% during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002.


We attribute thecontinued to experience a decrease in sales in the area of lumber and building materials which our management believes is due to recessionary conditions in the economy causing customers to scale back their purchases of these discretionary items.  The loss of revenue from these products has been offset by the sales of marine applications products to the lack of demand for new boats by consumers also resulting from the current recession. They anticipateincreases in our other business segments; however, we believe that once consumer confidence strengthens, lumber and building material sales will increase as general economic conditions improve.again trend upward. We have also introduced new products for retailers, which, in the past, concentrated on more expensive items.


In orderGross profit for Fiscal 2003 increased 8.29% to compensate$7,708,287 from $7,118,361 in Fiscal 2002. (Gross profit for Fiscal 2001 was $4,232,404.)


The cost of goods sold, as a percent of revenue remained relatively stable during Fiscal 2003 (86%), Fiscal 2002 (84%), and Fiscal 2001 (81%).  


Operating expenses increased $1,192,616 during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002.


Fiscal 2003 was the decrease in consumer demandfirst full year of operations for these products, we have transitioned from our traditional wood-based product line to adding non-wood based products. These recently introduced items include gates, dog runs, green houses and welded wire mesh panels which are used in placeGreenwood Products Inc. As would be expected with the larger contribution of traditional wood fencing.  

OurGreenwood Products, Inc., general and administrative expenses were $1,713,558increased by $307,528 during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. This represented an increase of 21% for Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. The increase in the third quarter down from $2,180,886amount of general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the 27% increase in sales.


General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue remained virtually constant for Fiscal 2003 (3.2%) and Fiscal 2002 (3.4%). During Fiscal 2001 general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue was somewhat higher at 5.1%. Our management attributes the third quarterlower percentage during Fiscal 2003 and Fiscal 2002 to efficiencies introduced into Jewett-Cameron Seed Company and the additions to operations of Greenwood Products.


An increase in wages and employee benefits of $839,067, attributable primarily to staff associated with Greenwood Products, Inc., was also a significant factor in the last fiscal year.increase in operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses began to decrease during the second half of Fiscal 2003.  The primary reason for the decrease of $467,328 was a restructuring of the activities of Greenwood Products during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2003. This restructuring included reductions in salaries resulting from the elimination of some clerical positions and wage cuts resulting from the sales decreases. As a result of these actions, wages and employee benefits decreased from the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 level of $1,540,102 to $1,188,164 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2003. Office expenses also decreased by $ 52,7 60$52,760 during the third quarter of Fiscal 2003 as compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2002 resulting from our efforts to reduce expenses.


Nine Months Ended May 31, 2003 vs. Nine Months Ended May 31,Interest expense increased from ($53,587) reported in Fiscal 2002




For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, ended May 31, 2003, our sales increased 49% to $40,497,696 compared to $27,118,392($346,030) in Fiscal 2003. The primary reason for the same periodincrease in interest expense was the higher level of borrowing resulting from the previous fiscal year.increased level of inventory required to support the elevated sales level of Fiscal 2003.


The principal reason for the 49% increase in sales wasoperating expenses coupled with the contributionhigher level of Greenwood Products Inc. Greenwood Products Inc., accounted for $33,113,434 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2003 as comparedinterest expense resulted in our net income to sales of $13,709,870decrease during the first nine months of Fiscal 2002.


Sales of building materials were $5,032,048 for the period, a decrease of 5 4 % compared to sales of $10,921,222 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2002. The sale of building materials is accomplished through the activities of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation , which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. As stated earlier, management attributes the decrease in the sales of building materials to the current downturn in the economy.  


Sales of pneumatic tools and industrial clamps were $668,414 for the period as compared to $576,387 for the same period of last year, an increase of about 16%. As was the case for the third quarter of Fiscal 2003 as compared to the third quarter oftwo prior fiscal years.


Net Income decreased to $294,144 in Fiscal 2003 from $837,024 in Fiscal 2002 the efforts of the newly hired sales staff resultedand $712,196 in stronger sales evidenced during this period as compared to the prior like period.Fiscal 2001. The corresponding basic earnings per share were $0.20 for Fiscal 2003; $0.56 for Fiscal 2002; and, $0.48 in Fiscal 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $0.19 in Fiscal 2003; $0.53 in Fiscal 2002; and, $0.46 in Fiscal 2001.  


Lumber and Building Materials (JCLC)


Sales of processed seedsin lumber and grain were $1,683,800 for the period compared to $1,910,913 for the first nine monthsbuilding materials have decreased in all of the last three fiscal year, a decreaseyears. Sales of slightly over 12%. The sales of processed seeds and grain are accomplished through the activities of Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation .  The decreasethese products decreased 52% in sales, which occurred in the period as compared to the first nine months of Fiscal 2002, was due primarily to a smaller crop and increased price competition for the available crop resulting in lower prices.

General and administrative expenses for the Company were $5,247,664 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2003 as compared to $3,808,059 for the first nine months of the last fiscal year.  In spite of the fact that the absolute numbers relating to general and administrative expenses (year to date) have increased, the current trend within the Company is one of decreasing expenses as disclosed earlier in the discussion pertaining to the three month period ended May 31, 2003. As was the case during the prior fiscal year, the addition of Greenwood Products resulted in increases in every category of general and administrative expenses with the exception of “repairs and maintenance” and “insurance”.  The most notable of these changes were: “wages and employee benefits” which increased $1, 047,456 ; although, for the three month period ended May 31, 2003 this category of expenses decreased by $351,938 as a result of management’s efforts in cutting expenses. Warehouse expenses and supplies increased $271,290; travel entertainment and advertising increased $92,223; telephone and utilities increased $33,735; repairs and maintenance decreased by $19,045; rent increased by $102,162; professional fees increased by $60,301; office and miscellaneous increased by $52,988; insurance decreased by $33,976; depreciation and amortization increased by $39, 415 ; and, bad debt recovery increased by $205,671. When considering the increases in these categories, it is important to note that since the Company’s cost cutting measures were put in place during the second quarter of Fiscal 2003, general and administrative expenses have decreased by $467,328.

There are no additional categories of expenses associated with Greenwood Products, Inc. as its operations are similar to those of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation; Jewett-Cameron Seed Company; and, MSI-PRO CO.2002.  


Net income for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 was $402,906, which represents an 18% decrease over the first nine months of the last fiscal year when net income was $491,558.  The decrease in net income was due to a 53% increase in the cost of sales brought about by the lower marginsIncome from operations associated with the items sold through Greenwood Products;sales of lumber and building materials have also decreased over the 38% increasepast three fiscal years. During Fiscal 2003, we experienced a loss from operations in year to date general and administrative expenses; and, an increase in interest expensesthis business segment of 9 55 % brought about by the Company’s higher level of borrowing as compared to the prior period.($124,928).  


Basic e arnings per share were $0.28 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2003 compared to $0.3 4 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, a decrease of 1 7.6 %.


Fiscal 2002, ended August 31st vs. Fiscal 2001


Our sales increased by 97% to $43,625,125 during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 when our sales were $22,112,954. (Our sales for Fiscal 2000 were $24,494,186.) The large increase in our sales during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 was primarily the contribution of Greenwood Products, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of our wholly owned subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation.  As mentioned earlier in this document, we purchased Greenwood Forest Productshave introduced new products for retailers, which, in the past, concentrated on more expensive items. These new products, which are also described earlier in 2002this document, are less costly and consequently, our overall sales from it started to comethese retailers are on the rise. These new products, which are described earlier in this document, currently feature lower prices in order to us immediately. Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation also contributed with an increase inintroduce these products into the competitive marketplace. Overall sales of $790,551. This was 43% higher than our sales through Jewett-Cameron Seed Company were in Fiscal 2001.  2002 wasto retailers are on the second yearrise. Our management believes that we operated Jewett-Cameron Seed Company.  During 2002 we established a communications program with our agricultural customers and potential agricu ltural customers.  Through this communications program we kept farmers who could use our facility informed of our capabilities in the areas of seed processing, seed storage and seed consignment. We believe that this communications program greatly helped our sales efforts to this industry.

We experienced a decrease in sales in the areasegment of home improvement products, which our management believes is due to conditions in the economy, resulting from the current recession, causing our customers to scale back their purchases of these discretionary items.  The loss of revenue from these products has been offset by sales increases in other areas; however,lumber and our management believes that once consumer confidence strengthens, home improvement salesbuilding materials will again trend upward.


Our gross profit for Fiscal 2002 increased 68% to $7,118,361 from $4,232,404 in Fiscal 2001. (Gross profit for Fiscal 2000 was $3,866,372.) The reason for this large increase in gross profit is also a result of the sales coming to us from Greenwood Products and the increased sales from Jewett-Cameron Seed Company.


The cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue remained relatively stable during Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 2001 at 84.2% and 80.8% respectively.  This figure decreased during Fiscal 2002 to 60.7% as a result of the new products, which we introduced by the purchase of Greenwood Products, which carry generally lower margins.products.


General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased from 10% during Fiscal 2000 to 16% during Fiscal 2001.  This was primarily the result of the additional expenses brought about by the operations of our wholly owned subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, which completed its first full year of operations during Fiscal 2001. During Fiscal 2002 administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased slightly to 13.2% as a result of efficiencies introduced into the seed company and the additions to operations of Greenwood Products.


As would be expected with the addition of Greenwood Products, Inc., which occurred in February of Fiscal 2002, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,289,300 during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001. This represented an increase of 66% for Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001. We believe that this increase is more than offset by the increase in sales of 97%; the increase in gross profit of 68%; and, the increase in net profit of 17.5%, which occurred during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001.


An increase in wages and employee benefits of $1,869,295, attributable primarily to staff associated with Greenwood Products, Inc., was the primary reason for the increase in general and administrative expenses. Other expense increases of significance were warehouse and supplies (up $145,174); travel, entertainment and advertising (up $45,643); telephone and utilities (up $33,170); rent (up $84,338); professional fees (up $71,382); office (up $58,770); and, depreciation and amortization (up $67,032).


Interest expense decreased from $124,200 reported in Fiscal 2001 to $53,587 reported in Fiscal 2002. The primary reason for the decrease in interest expense was the lower cost of borrowing resulting from the lowering of the prime rate by the Federal Reserve Board and the fact that we made a decision to reduce our inventory levels. As would be expected, the category of “interest and other income” also decreased during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 declining from $14,002 reported in Fiscal 2001 to only $1,041 reported in Fiscal 2002.


Net Income rose to $837,024 in Fiscal 2002 from $712,196 in Fiscal 2001 and $608,679 in Fiscal 2000. The corresponding basic earnings per share, before the three for two forward stock split in February 2003, were $0.84 for Fiscal 2002; $0.72 for Fiscal 2001; and, $0.60 in Fiscal 2000. Earnings per share were $0.80 in Fiscal 2002; $0.70 in Fiscal 2001; and, $0.58 in Fiscal 2000.


Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation

Our wholly owned subsidiary JCLC posted a 108% increase in sales to $40.2 million in Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 which had sales of $19,369,153. The increase was primarily the result of the contribution of JCLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwood Products, Inc. as discussed above.


JCLC’s income from operations increased 25% in Fiscal 2002 to $1,053,433 compared with $843,278 in Fiscal 2001 and $1,250,539 in Fiscal 2000.  The cause of the increase is again primarily attributable to the contribution of Greenwood Products, Inc. as discussed above.


MSI-PRO CO.

Sales of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, MSI-PRO CO., have continued to decrease. Sales were $776,545 for Fiscal 2002; $919,169 for Fiscal 2001; and, $1,111,833 for Fiscal 2000. During the summer of 2002, which was toward the end of our fiscal year, we hired a new sales manager in an effort to increase sales of our  industrial tools.


Jewett-Cameron Seed Company

Fiscal 2002 was the second year of operations for Jewett-Cameron Seed Company. At the end of Fiscal 2002, sales from Jewett-Cameron Seed Company were $2,615,183 and income from operations was $249,526. In the prior fiscal year, sales were $1,824,632 and income from operations was $35,894. We attribute the increase in sales and income from operations to a  new marketing campaign, which includes regular communication with the growers of seed, and to an increased efficiency of operations enabled by improvements resulting from capital expenditures that began during Fiscal 2001.


Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

Sales decreased 18% to $24,494,186 in Fiscal 2000, down from $29,102,273 in Fiscal 1999 and $26,178,514 in Fiscal 1998.

Diluted EPS were $0.58 in Fiscal 2000 versus $0.51 in Fiscal 1999 and $0.08 in Fiscal 1998.


Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation

JCLC posted a 16% decrease in sales to $23.3 million in Fiscal 2000 as a result of a 42% decrease in the price of lumber and a drop in sales of approximately $6 million to a major customer. The reduction in sales to this major customer was primarily the result of a decrease in demand brought about by poor economic conditions.


JCLC’s income from operations decreased 5 % in Fiscal 2000 to $1, 250,539 compared with $1, 314,062 in Fiscal 1999 and $ 551,280 in Fiscal 1998.  The causes of the decrease are a combination of lower lumber prices and the loss in sales to the major customer mentioned above.


MSI-PRO CO.Industrial Tools

The Fiscal 1997 renaming of the industrial tools under the " MSI-PRO CO. ""MSI-PRO" label has continued to provide a better product identity and a more efficient use of marketing dollars.  Sales increased marginally into $878,966 during Fiscal 2000 to $1,111,833 following a marginal decrease in2003 from $776,545 during Fiscal 1999 when MSI-PRO CO. decided to focus upon more profitable products over sales growth.  Importantly,2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Nine Months Ended May 31, 2003Pending $5.0 Million Underwriting


AsWe have filed a preliminary prospectus with the US Securities & Exchange Commission regarding the offering of May 31, 2003 we had working capital500,000 common shares at $10.00 per share.  This offering is self-underwritten on a best-efforts basis.   We have not established a minimum amount of $7,920,571, which represented an increase of $3,537,040 as compared to the working capital position of $4,383,531 as of August 31, 2002.  The primary reason for the increase in working capital was an increase of $5,186,907 in inventory; an increase in accounts receivable of  $223,185; and, an increase in prepaid expensesproceeds that it must receive in the amount $169,014. Offsetting these increasesoffering before any proceeds may be accepted.  Our management anticipates beginning the offering in the asset accounts, on the liability side bank indebtedness increased by $4,499,214; however, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $2,690,487.

Our external sources of liquidity include a bank line from US Bank.  The total line of credit available is $8.0 million of which there was an outstanding balance on May 31, 2003 of $7,464,853 and an outstanding balance as of August 31, 2002 of $ 2,965,639.February 2006 with completion in late 2006.


We are under no legal or business requirement to take these actions.  Based on our current working capital position, our policy of retaining earnings, and the line of credit available, to us, we feel that we have adequate working capital to meet our needs in the foreseeable future.


Rather, our management is undertaking this for strategic purposes.  We anticipate using the proceeds of the offering to pay down corporate indebtedness, including notes payable.  We believe that our company does not need to retire its long-term debt to continue to grow at its current rate.  By retiring this debt, we will have the option to purchase other businesses in our industry, thus allowing us to accelerate our growth rate.


Our revolving bank debt was $2,077,063 at 8/31/2005.  The bank indebtedness is secured by an assignment of accounts receivable and inventory. Interest is calculated at prime or the LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points. The weighted average interest rate for the fiscal year was 5.99% (2004 – 3.52%).


Credit Risks


Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  We place our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.  We have concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of our accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States amongst a small number of customers.  At 8/31/2005 and 8/31/2004, no customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.  We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.  We perform credit evaluations of our commercial customers but generally do not require collateral to support accounts receivable.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the currentreporting period.  On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


During the year ended 8/31/2005, we did not adopt any new accounting policy that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, nor did it make changes to existing accounting policies.  Senior Management has discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2004, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS 153”) which amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal year.periods beginning after June 15, 2005.


In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 and its related implementation guidance by requiring entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions) and revises SFAS 123 as follows:


i)

Public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value and nonpublic entities may elect to measure their liabilities to employees incurred in share-based payment transactions at their intrinsic value whereas under SFAS 123, all share-based payment liabilities were measured at their intrinsic value.


ii)

Nonpublic entities are required to calculate fair value using an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of its share price if it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the entity’s share price.


iii)

Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as opposed to accounting for forfeitures as they occur.


(iv)

Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification whereas SFAS 123 required that the effects of a modification be measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified award at the date it is granted and the award’s value immediately before the modification determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining initially estimated expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified award.


SFAS 123R also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods.  SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services” (“EITF 96-18”).  SFAS 123R also does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans which are subject to Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”.  Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. &nbs p;Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.  For nonpublic entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.


In May 2005, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”) which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  SFAS 154 requires that changes in accounting policy be accounted for on a retroactive basis.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, ”Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition Disclosure — an amendment of FAS 123.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensationstock options); and the effectaforementioned repayment of the method used on reported results. We have made the disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 in the first quarternotes payable of 2003. Accordingly, adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not believe that adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


---No Disclosure Necessary---Interest Rate Risk


#We did not have any derivative financial instruments as of 8/31/2005.


Our interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.  Therefore, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash equivalents as well as interest paid on debt.  We have lines of credit and other debt whose interest rates are based on various published prime rates that may fluctuate over time based on economic changes in the environment.  We are subject to interest rate risk and could be subject to increased interest payments if market interest rates fluctuate.  We do not expect any change in the interest rates to have a material adverse effect on our results from operations.


Foreign Currency Risk


We operate primarily in the United States; however, some business is transacted with Canadian firms.  Our business and financial condition is, therefore, sensitive to currency exchange rates or any other restrictions imposed on its currency.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

 

Our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of our board members for breaches by them of their fiduciary duties. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by British Columbia law. British Columbia law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for any of the following acts:

 

 

Ÿ*

 

any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

 

Ÿ*

 

acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

 

Ÿ*

 

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions; and

 

 

Ÿ*

 

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Such limitation of liability may not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. In addition British Columbia laws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether indemnification would be permitted under British Columbia law. We currently maintain liability insurance for our directors and officers.

 

We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These agreements, among other things, will provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of  Jewett-Cameron, arising out of such person’s services as a director or executive officer of ours, any subsidiary of ours or any other company or enterprise to which the person provided services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

Further, no claim may be brought in Canada against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation of U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial jurisdiction under Canadian law and do not have force of law in Canada. A Canadian court may, however, impose civil liability on us or our directors and off icersofficers if the facts alleged in a complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Canadian law. However, we may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against it arising out of or in connection with violations of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of common shares made hereby by serving CT Corporation System, its U.S. agent, irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

Further, we have been advised by Richards Buell Sutton t hatthat there are grounds upon which Canadian courts may not enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Because judgments of U.S. courts are not automatically enforceable in Canada, , it may be difficult for you to recover against us based upon such judgments.


FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-UNITED STATES  AND UNITED STATES HOLDERS


Material Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holder


The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income and estate tax considerations to a non-United States holder (as defined below) relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of common stock purchased in this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or, the Code, final, temporary and proposed United States Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, Internal Revenue Service rulings, official pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or different interpretations. This summary does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to certain non-United States holders in light of the holder’s particular circumstances and it is not intended to be applicable in all respec tsrespects to allal l categories of non-United States holders, some of whom may be subject to special rules not discussed below. The discussion below deals only with shares of common stock held as “capital assets” within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment), and does not address purchasers of the common stock that may be subject to special rules (including, without limitation, certain expatriates, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, partnerships or other pass through entities, holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar and persons that hold the common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction). In addition, the following discussion does not address any state, local or foreign tax considerations that may be relevant to a non-United States holder’s decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares of common stock.

 

The rules governing the United States federal income and estate taxation of a non-United States holder are complex, and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than a summary of those rules. Special rules may apply to a non-United States holder that is a controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company or foreign personal holding company and therefore subject to special treatment under the Code. NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS WITH REGARD TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING ANY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

 

For purposes of the federal income tax portion of this summary, a “non-United States holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock that for United States federal income tax purposes is a nonresident alien or a corporation, trust or estate that is not (1) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (2) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or (3) a trust (a) that is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons (as described in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

For purposes of the federal estate tax portion of this summary, a “non-United States holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock who is an individual who is not a United States citizen and who is not domiciled in the United States and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for federal income tax purposes. A person acquires a domicile in the United States by living in the United States, even for a brief period, with “no definite present intention” of later removing from the United States. If domicile exists in the United States, an intention to change domicile does not actually effect such a change unless accompanied by an actual removal from the United States.

 

Dividends on Common Stock

 

Generally, any dividends paid to a non-United States holder of common stock will be subject to United States federal income tax withholding at a rate of 30% of the amount of the dividend, or at a lower applicable income tax treaty rate. However, if the dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business of a non-United States holder, and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-United States holder, a non-United States holder generally will be taxed in the same manner as a United States holder. An effectively connected dividend received by a corporate non-United States holder may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate). Even though an effectively connected dividend is subject to United States federal income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, i t is not subject to withholding tax (unless derived through a partnership) if the non-United States holder delivers Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) annually to us or our agent.

 

United States Treasury regulations require a non-United States holder to provide certain certifications under penalties of perjury that such holder is not a United States person in order to obtain treaty benefits (and avoid backup withholding as discussed below), a non-United States holder must deliver to us or our agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form).

 

A non-United States holder of common stock eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

A non-United States holder will not incur tax on a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits if the excess portion of the distribution does not exceed the adjusted basis of such holder’s common shares. Instead, the excess portion of the distribution will reduce the adjusted basis of the shares. A non-United States holder will be subject to tax on a distribution that exceeds both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the adjusted basis of its shares, if the non-United States holder otherwise would be subject to tax on gain from the sale or disposition of common shares, as described below. Because we generally cannot determine at the time we make a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we plan to withhold U.S. income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any distribution paid to a non-United States holder unless (i) a lower treaty rate applies and the non-United States holder files Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) evidencing eligibility for that reduced rate with us or our agent; or (ii) the non-United States holder files Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) with us or our agent claiming that the distribution is effectively connected income. However, a non-United States holder may obtain a refund of amounts we withhold if we later determine that a distribution in fact exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

 

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock

 

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, any gain realized upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock by a non-United States holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

 

(1)  the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-United States holder in the United States, and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States maintained by such holder,

 

(2)  in the case of a non-resident individual who holds stock as a capital asset, the individual has been present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other requirements are met, or

 

(3)  in the case of a non-United States holder who owns or has owned, actually or constructively, during the relevant statutory period more than 5% of our stock, we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for United States federal income tax purposes and certain other requirements are met.

 

Although there can be no assurance, we do not believe that we have been or currently are a “United States real property holding corporation”.

 

If the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-United States holder in the United States, and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States maintained by such holder, the non-United States holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash proceeds and the fair market value of any property received in the sale, exchange or other disposition and the non-United States holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of common stock sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed.

��

Federal Estate Taxes

 

Common stock that is beneficially owned by an individual non-United States holder at the time of death will be included in the individual’s gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. The individual’s gross estate might also include the value of common stock which is held indirectly by the individual through one or more domestic or foreign entities. Non-United States holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the inclusion of the value of the common stock in their gross estate in cases where it is owned indirectly through one or more entities.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Dividends on common stock paid to a non-United States holder will generally be exempt from backup withholding tax, provided that non-United States holders meet applicable certification requirements or otherwise establish an exemption. Non-United States holders that fail to meet these requirements will be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 28%.

 

Payments of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by or through the United States office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the non-United States holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-United States holder or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

 

Information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds of the sale of shares of common stock effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a “broker” (as defined in applicable United States Treasury Regulations). However, if the broker:

 

(1)  is a United States person,

 

(2)  derives 50% or more of its gross income from all sources for certain periods from the conduct of a United States trade or business,

 

(3)  is a controlled foreign corporation as to the United States, or

 

(4)  is a foreign partnership in which one or more United States persons, in the aggregate, own more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership or is a foreign partnership that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States,  payment of the proceeds will be subject to information reporting requirements and/or backup withholding tax unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner is a non-United States holder and certain other conditions are met, or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

Any amounts withheld from a payment to a non-United States holder under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a credit against the non-United States holder’s United States federal income tax liability and may entitle the non-United States holder to a refund, provided that the required information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Material Tax Considerations to U.S. Holder


Purchasers of shares of our Common Stock will receive no tax benefits from their ownership other than those normally incurred pursuant to long-term/short-term capital gains and losses upon the sale of shares. Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 the maximum tax rate on most types of long-term capital gain is reduced from 20% to 15%. The rates return to normal for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008.


Common stock that is beneficially owned by an individual United States holder at the time of death will be included in the individual’s gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes. The individual’s gross estate might also include the value of common stock which is held indirectly by the individual through one or more domestic or foreign entities.


Dividends on common stock paid to a United States holder are not subject to backup withholding tax. The maximum tax rate on dividends was generally reduced from 38.6% to 15% under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. This change in the law is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2002. The 15% rate continues through 2008 and drops to zero for 2008. The rates return to normal for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008.


United States holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the effect of federal, state, and local tax laws with regard to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of common stock.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS



Item 12. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officersSchedule II: Valuation and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnifi cation by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

[1] For purposes of Item 509, of Regulation S-K, Counsel retains a contingent interest for options to acquire approximately 15,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, for certain legal services on behalf of the Company.


Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers



Our articles of Incorporation provide that, pursuant to British Columbia law, each director shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty as a director to the Company and its stockholders.  In addition, our bylaws provide that we   will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.


Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director will be personally liable to us or any stockholder for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for ( i ) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or ( ii ) the payment of dividends in violation of the Corporation Law.  If the Corporation Law is amended or interpreted to eliminate or limit further the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability to the full extent then so permitted.  There provisions in the Articles of Incorporation do not eliminate the fiduciary duties of the directors and officers and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Oregon law.  In addition, these provisions do not affect responsibilities imposed under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.


Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under British Columbia Law .  We believe that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by indemnified parties and permits us to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.


We believe that these provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.  Insofar as indemnification pursuant to the foregoing provisions against liabilities arising under  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.


In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings


(a) Rule 415 Offering.


             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 (§239.13 of this chapter) or Form S-8 (§239.16b of this chapter) or Form F-3 (§239.33 of this chapter), and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(4) If the registration is a foreign private issuer, to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by §210.3-19 of this chapter at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished,provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3 (§239.33 of this chapter), a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or § 210. 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.


(b)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Accounts receivable


Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable primarily includes trade receivables from customers.   The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-item basis and includes over aged accounts as part of allowance for doubtful accounts, which are generally ones that are ninety days or greater overdue.


Inventory


Inventory, which consists of finished goods, is recorded at the lower of cost, based on the average cost method, and market.  Market is defined as net realizable value.



Capital assetsProperty, plant and depreciationequipment


Capital assetsProperty, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and theless accumulated depreciation.  The Company provides for depreciation over the estimated life of each asset on a straight-line basis over the following periods:


Office equipment

5-7 years

Warehouse equipment

2-10 years

Buildings

5-30 years

Asset retirement obligations


The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets.  The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset.  Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).  


Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of


Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Board statement No. 123 (AccountingAccounting for Stock-Based Compensation)Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair value of options granted.  The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (AccountingAccounting for Stock Issued to Employees)Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and to provide additional disclosures with respect to the pro-forma effects of adoption had the Company recorded compensation expense as provided in SFAS No. 123.


In accordance with APB-25,APB 25, compensation costs for stock options is recognized in income based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  Generally, the exercise price for stock options granted to employees equals or exceeds the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, thereby resulting in no recognition of compensation expense by the Company.

Stock option plan (cont’d…)


The Company accounts for stock based compensation associated with the repricing of employee stock options in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation” (“FIN 44”).  For accounting purposes, the repricing of existing stock options requires variable accounting for the new options granted from the date of modification.  Variable accounting requires that the intrinsic value, being the excess of the current market price at the end of each reporting period in excess of the exercise price of the repriced options, be expensed as non-cash stock based compensation expense until such time as the repriced options are exercised, expire or are otherwise forfeited.  Any increase in the intrinsic value of the repriced options will decrease reported earnings and any subsequent decreases in value will increase repo rted earnings.


If under SFAS No. 123 the Company determined compensation costs based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options, net earnings and earnings per share would have been changed to the following pro-forma amounts:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)


In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 and its related implementation guidance by requiring entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions) and revises SFAS 123 as follows:


i)

Public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value and nonpublic entities may elect to measure their liabilities to employees incurred in share-based payment transactions at their intrinsic value whereas under SFAS 123, all share-based payment liabilities were measured at their intrinsic value.


ii)

Nonpublic entities are required to calculate fair value using an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of its share price if it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the entity’s share price.


iii)

Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as opposed to accounting for forfeitures as they occur.


iv)

Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification whereas SFAS 123 required that the effects of a modification be measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified award at the date it is granted and the award’s value immediately before the modification determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining initially estimated expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified award.



SFAS 123R also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods.  SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 142 addresses96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services” (“EITF 96-18”).  SFAS 123R also does not address the accounting for all purchased intangible assets, but not the accountingemployee share ownership plans which are subject to Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for internally developed intangible assets.  Goodwill will no longer be amortized butEmployee Stock Ownership Plans”.  Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be reviewed for impairmentrequired to apply SFAS 123R as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. &nbs p;Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in accordance withthe first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.  For nonpublic entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.


In May 2005, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.  154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 142154”) which is effective for fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2001.  Early adoption is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001.


In July 2001, FASB issued2005.  SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" that records the fair value of the liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets.  The initial recognition of the liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life.  SFAS 143 is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2003.  


In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" that supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  SFAS No. 144 is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2002.


In April 2002, FASB issued No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections".  SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect and eliminates an inconsistency between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Generally, SFAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002.


In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" that nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 ("EITF Issue 94-3") "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)".  SFAS No. 146154 requires that changes in accounting policy be accounted for on a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereby EITF Issue 94-3 had recognized the liability at the commitment date to an exit plan.  The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged.retroactive basis.  


The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  Because option valuation models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options, and the Company's options do not have the characteristics of traded options, so the option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of its options.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Generally accepted accounting principles


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which are not materially different from generally accepted accounting principles utilized in Canada.


In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein.  These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2002.  The results of operations for the period ended May 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 2003.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation, Jewett-Cameron Seed Co., Greenwood Products, Inc. and MSI-PRO Co., all of which are incorporated under the laws of Oregon, U.S.A.


Significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.



Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition16.

CONCENTRATIONS



Credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.  The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States amongst a small number of customers.  At August 31, 2005 and 2004, no customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.  The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.  The Company performs credit evaluations of its commercial customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.



Volume of business


The Company recognizes revenue fromhas concentrations in the salesvolume of building supply products,purchases it conducts with its suppliers. For the year ended August 31, 2005 there were two suppliers that accounted for greater than 10% of total purchases with the aggregate purchases amounted to $13,654,592.  For the year ended August 31, 2004, there were no suppliers that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases.   For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company had one supplier totalling $6,486,756 that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases in the industrial wood and other specialty products and tools, when the products are shipped, title passes and the ultimate collection is reasonably assured.  Revenue from the Company's seed operations is generated by the provision of seed processing, handling and storage services provided to seed growers, and by the sales of seed products.  Revenue from the provision of these services and products is recognized when the services have been performed and products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured.segment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)



Earnings per share


In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  Under SFAS 128, basic and diluted earnings per share are to be presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share take into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.


A reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods ended May 31 is summarized as follows:

Employee stock option plan


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair value of options granted.  The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and to provide additional disclosures with respect to the pro-forma effects of adoption had the Company recorded compensation expense as provided in SFAS 123.


In accordance with APB 25, compensation costs for stock options is recognized in income based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  Generally, the exercise price for stock options granted to employees equals or exceeds the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, thereby resulting in no recognition of compensation expense by the Company.

Employee stock option planSUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS (cont’d…)



The Company accounts for stock based compensation associated withsignificant non-cash transaction during the repricingyear ended August 31, 2005 was the issuance of employee stock options in accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 44, “ Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation ” (“FIN 44”).  For accounting purposes, the repricing of existing stock options requires variable accounting14,000 common shares for the new options granted fromESOP with a fair value of $81,340.


There were no significant non-cash transactions during the dateyear ended August 31, 2004.


Significant non-cash transactions during the year ended August 31, 2003:


i)

The Company acquired inventory in the amount of modification.  Variable accounting requires that$2,119,506 and a note receivable in the intrinsic value, beingamount of $142,449 by issuing notes payable in the excessamount of $2,261,955.

Financial instruments



The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values:


Cash and short-term investments


The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.


Accounts receivable


The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and historical collectability.


Accounts payable and accrued liabilities


The carrying value of accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.


Bank indebtedness


The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligation.


Notes payable


The fair value of the Company’s note payable is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.


The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

Comparative figures


Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted for the current period.



Income taxes


Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.


Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.



Shipping andhandling costs


The Company incurs certain expenses related to preparing, packaging and shipping its products to its customers, mainly third-party transportation fees. All costs related to these activities are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as revenue in the consolidated statement of operations.



New accounting pronouncements


In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved the issuance of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”).  SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment.  The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date.  Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of this statement (resulting from a transitional impairment test) are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle.  Under an exception to the date at which this statement becomes effective, goodwill and intang ible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, will be subject immediately to the non-amortization and amortization provisions of this statement.


In June 2001, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”) that records the fair value of the liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets.  The initial recognition of the liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life.  SFAS 143 is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2003.

New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)



In August 2001, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment on Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which supersedes Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of”.  SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell.  Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.  SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and, generally, its provisions are to be applied prospectively.


In April 2002, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”).  SFAS 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect and eliminates an inconsistency between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Generally, SFAS 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002.


In June 2002, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”) that nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF 94-3”).  SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereby EITF 94-3 had recognized the liability at the commitment date to an exit plan.  The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged.


In October 2002, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 147, “Accounting of Certain Financial Institutions – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 44 and FASB Interpretation No. 9” (“SFAS 147”).  SFAS 147 requires the application of the purchase method of accounting to all acquisitions of financial institutions, except transactions between two or more mutual enterprises.  SFAS 147 is effective for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002.


In December 2002, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 148”).  SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)


New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)


In April 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.


In May 2003, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.


The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

CAPITAL ASSETS (cont’d…)


In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized. Management's estimates of revenues, operating expenses, and operating capital are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of the Company's assets.  Although management has made its best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur which could adversely affect management's estimate of the net cash flow expected to be generated from its operations.


5.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes of $176,000 (August 31, 2002 - $171,900) relate principally to temporary differences between the accounting and tax treatment of income, expenses, reserves and depreciation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS



Item 12. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnifi cation by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Our articles of Incorporation provide that, pursuant to British Columbia law, each director shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty as a director to the Company and its stockholders.  In addition, our bylaws provide that we   will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.


Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director will be personally liable to us or any stockholder for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of the Corporation Law.  If the Corporation Law is amended or interpreted to eliminate or limit further the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability to the full extent then so permitted.  There provisions in the Articles of Incorporation do not eliminate the fiduciary duties of the directors and officers and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Oregon law.  In addition, these provisions do not affect responsibilities imposed under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal en vironmental laws.


Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under British Columbia Law.  We believe that indemnification under our Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by indemnified parties and permits us to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.


We believe that these provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.  Insofar as indemnification pursuant to the foregoing provisions against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.


In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


Since August 1, 1999, we have not sold any securities. We have issued securities in the following situations:


On 10/24/2002, we issued 19,290 common shares (post split) for a private placement for cash proceeds of $106,100. We relied on the exemptions from registration under Regulation S for the private placement of securities to only Canadian residents.  The proceeds were used for working capital.


Effective 12/31/2003, we issued 6,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of 6,000 stock options for cash proceeds of $26,473.  We relied on the exemptions from registration under Regulation S for the private placement of securities to only Canadian residents.  The proceeds were used for working capital.


During Fiscal 2005/2004/2003/2002, We issuednil,  nil, 7,083,shares, respectively pursuant to its funding of the ESOP.   The foregoing transactions did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering, and the registrant believes the transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The recipients of securities in the transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in such transaction.

Item 17. Undertakings


(a) Rule 415 Offering.


            The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 (§239.13 of this chapter) or Form S-8 (§239.16b of this chapter) or Form F-3 (§239.33 of this chapter), and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.




(b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whethe r such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
