ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “plans”, “expects”, “aims”, “believes”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “estimates”, “will”, “should”, “could” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion, expectation, or projection of future operating or financial performance, events or trends. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from these expectations and assumptions due to changes in global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

These factors include, but are not limited to the fact that the Company is in a highly competitive business and may seek additional financing to expand its business, and are set forth in more detail elsewhere in this Annual Report, including in the sections, ITEM 1A, “Risk Factors”, and ITEM 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Introduction

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. is organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. In this Annual Report, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s operations are classified into three reportable operating segments, one discontinued segment (Industrial Tools) and the parent corporate and administrative segment, which were determined based on the nature of the products offered along with the markets being served. The segments are as follows:

`·`Industrial wood products

`·`Pet, Fencing and Other

`·`Seed processing and sales

`·`Corporate and administration

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain of its subsidiaries. Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (“JCLC”) was changed to JC USA Inc. (“JC USA”), which has the following three wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The industrial wood products segment reflects the business conducted by Greenwood Products, Inc. (“Greenwood”). Greenwood is a processor and distributor of industrial wood products. A major product category is treated plywood that is sold to the transportation industry.

The pet, fencing and other segments reflect the business of the Jewett-Cameron Company (“JCC”). JCC is a wholesaler of products based in these categories. Pet products range from enclosures/kennels of varying types and construction primarily out of metal, to items that support the pet “home” such as beds, bowls and compostable dog waste bags. Fencing and containment products include such products as proprietary gate and fencing components, including trademarked and patented post systems, wood and other fencing infill products, as well as kitted security fencing solutions. Other products include garden, landscaping and miscellaneous products for the home. JCC uses contract manufacturers to make all products. Some of the products that JCC distributes flow through the Company’s distribution center located in North Plains, Oregon, and some are shipped direct to the customer from the manufacturer. Primary customers are home centers, eCommerce providers, other retailers, and direct sales to consumers.

The seed processing and sales segment reflects the business of Jewett-Cameron Seed Company (“JCSC”). JCSC processes and distributes agricultural seed. Most of this segment’s sales come from selling seed to distributors with a lesser amount of sales derived from cleaning seed.

4

The Company also formerly operated in the industrial tools and clamps segment through MSI-PRO (“MSI”). MSI imported and distributed products including pneumatic air tools, industrial clamps, and saw blades. These products were primarily sold to wholesalers that in turn sold to contractors and end users. During fiscal 2020, the Company decided to exit this segment. The remaining inventory was liquidated, and MSI was wound-up and closed.

JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including accounting and credit services, to each of its wholly-owned subsidiary companies.

Total Company sales were approximately $57.5 million and $44.9 million during fiscal years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company's principal office is located at 32275 NW Hillcrest Street, North Plains, Oregon; and the Company’s website address is www.jewettcameron.com. Mail is not delivered to the street address. The Company’s primary mailing address is P.O. Box 1010, North Plains, OR 97133. The Company’s phone number is (503) 647-0110, and the fax number is (503) 647-2272.

The contact person for the Company is Charles Hopewell, Chief Executive Officer, Director, Board Chair, and Principal Financial Officer. Mr. Hopewell has announced that he will step down from the President/CEO role on December 31, 2021 to then occupy the sole role of Board Chair and his replacement, Chad Summers, will continue forward as CEO/President. Mr. Summers has been transitioning into the role since May, 2021.

The Company’s authorized capital includes 21,567,564 common shares without par value; and 10,000,000 preferred shares without par value. As of August 31, 2021 and November 24, 2021, there were 3,489,161 and 3,492,842 common shares outstanding, respectfully. The Company's common shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States with the symbol “JCTCF”.

The Company's fiscal year ends on August 31st.

General Development of Business

Incorporation and Subsidiaries

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on July 8, 1987 as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (“JCLC”), which was incorporated in September 1953 in Oregon, USA. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. acquired all the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange on July 13, 1987, and at that time JCLC became a wholly owned subsidiary. Effective September 1, 2013, the Company completed a reorganization of certain of its subsidiaries and JCLC’s name was changed to JC USA Inc. (“JC USA”). JC USA has the following wholly owned subsidiaries. MSI-PRO Co. (“MSI”), incorporated in April 1996 and dissolved in September 2019, Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, (“JCSC”), incorporated in October 2000, Greenwood Products, Inc. (“Greenwood”), incorporated in February 2002, and Jewett-Cameron Company (“JCC”) incorporated in September 2013. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries have no significant assets in Canada.

Corporate Development

Incorporated in 1953, JC USA operated 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 members of that group remained active in the Company. These individuals are Donald Boone, who passed away in May, 2019, and who was the previous Chairman and Director and the former President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Principal Financial Officer, transitioning to strictly the Board Chair in 2017; and Michael Nasser, who remains active in the business and is both a Director and the Corporate Secretary.

In July 1987, the Company acquired JC USA in what was not an arms-length transaction.

5

In early 1986, prior to JC USA being acquired by the Company, JC USA acquired Material Supply International (“Material Supply”). Material Supply was engaged in the importation and distribution of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps. The product line was re-branded as “MSI-PRO” and MSI was incorporated in 1996 to carry-on the business of Material Supply.

In October 2000, JCSC was incorporated in anticipation of JC USA acquiring the business and certain assets of a firm called Agrobiotech Inc. JCSC operates as a seed storage, processing and sales business.

In February 2002, Greenwood was incorporated in anticipation of JC USA acquiring the business and certain assets of Greenwood Forest Products Inc. Greenwood is involved in the processing and distribution of specialty wood products.

In June 2012, the Company acquired land and fixed assets located in Manning, Oregon for $250,000 cash. The property was sold in an arms-length transaction in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 for $325,000 cash.

In May 2019 Chairman and Co-Founder of the Company Donald M. Boone passed away. Mr. Boone served as President and CEO from 1984 until 2017 when he voluntarily retired from his officer positions and oversaw the addition and successful integration of new management and directors.

In September 2019 the Board of Directors decided to permanently close the Company’s MSI-Pro division. Efforts to drive further sales and margin growth were unsuccessful due to a lack of market differentiation and changing customer patterns. The remaining inventory was liquidated and the personnel were moved into different positions with the Company. As of August 31, 2020, MSI was wound-up and the division closed.

Narrative Description of Business

The Company’s operations are classified into four segments: Industrial wood products; Pet, Fencing and Other; Seed processing and sales; and corporate and administration. Sales, income before taxes, assets, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, and interest expense by segment are shown in the financial statements under Note 14 “Segment Information”.

Pet, Fencing and Other – JCC

The pet, fencing and other segments reflect the business of Jewett-Cameron Company (JCC), which is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty products and a wholesaler of products formerly conducted by JCLC.

JCC operates out of a 5.6 acre owned facility located in North Plains, Oregon that includes offices, a warehouse, and a paved yard. This business is a wholesaler, and a manufacturer and distributor of products that include an array of pet enclosures, kennels, and pet welfare and comfort products, proprietary gate support systems, perimeter fencing, greenhouses, and fencing in-fill products made of wood, metal and composites. Examples of the Company’s brands include Lucky Dog®, for pet products; Adjust-A-Gate™, Fit-Right®, Perimeter Patrol®, and Lifetime Post™ for gates and fencing; Early Start, Spring Gardner™, Greenline®, and Weatherguard for greenhouses. JCC uses contract manufacturers to manufacture these products. Some of the products that JCC distributes flow through the Company’s facility in North Plains, Oregon, and some are shipped direct to the customer from the manufacturer. Primary customers are home centers, eCommerce partners, on-line direct consumers as well as other retailers.

The home improvement business is seasonal, with higher levels of sales occurring between February and August. Inventory buildup occurs until the start of the season in February and then gradually declines to seasonal low levels at the end of the summer.

JCC has concentrated on building a customer base for lawn, garden, and pet related products. Management believes this market is less sensitive to downturns in the U.S. economy than is the market for new home construction as its products serve both new and existing home and pet owners.

The wood products that JCC distributes are not unique and are available from multiple suppliers. However, the metal products that JCC manufactures and distributes may be somewhat differentiated from similar products available from other suppliers. The company has been successful garnering key patents and trademarks on multiple products that assist their ability to continue to differentiate based on design and functionality.

6

JCC owns the patents and manufacturing rights connected with the Adjust-A-Gate™ and Fit-Right™ products, which are the gate support systems for wood, vinyl, chain link, and composite fences. Management believes the ownership of these patents results in an important competitive advantage for these and certain other products. During fiscal 2021 and 2020, the Company did not apply for or receive any patents. However, the Company does expect to apply for several new patents in fiscal 2022. A patent granted in 2018 was an update of the Adjust-a-Gate™, which will extend the protection on the Adjust-a-Gate™ products for an additional 15 years. In addition to the patents, JCC also has two licensing agreements to market pet products.

Backlog orders are a factor in this business as customers may place firm priced orders for products for shipments to take place three to four months in the future.

Industrial Wood Products - Greenwood

Greenwood is a wholesale distributor of a variety of specialty wood products. Operations are co-located in the building utilized by JCC.

Historically, a major product category has been treated plywood that was sold into the marine industry. It migrated from that segment and focused more into the transportation industry. In February 2014, due to the falling marine market, the Company sold its remaining and excess inventory related to the marine industry. Greenwood’s total sales for fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 5% and 5% respectively of total Company sales.

The primary market in which Greenwood competes has decreased in economic sensitivity as users are incorporating products into the municipal and mass transit transportations sectors. However, these markets may sustain some contractions due to COVID-19 related patterns of individuals utilizing transit and mass transit less due to concerns over exposure. In addition, this segment is prone to disruption of supply chain support which can impact other commodities outside of those specific to the disruption.

Inventory is maintained at non-owned warehouse and wood treating facilities throughout the United States and is primarily shipped to customers on a just-in-time basis. Inventory is generally not purchased on a speculative basis in anticipation of price changes.

Greenwood has no significant backlog of orders.

Seed Processing and Sales - JCSC

JCSC operates out of an approximately 12 acre owned facility located adjacent to North Plains, Oregon. JCSC processes and distributes agricultural seed. Most of this segment’s sales come from selling seed to distributors with a lesser amount of sales derived from cleaning seed. Sales of seed has seasonality, but it is most affected by weather patterns in multiple parts of the United States that utilize cyclical planting. The annual weather plays an important part in year-to-year sales volatility and specific crop demand. However, profitability around after the month of August may be higher based on a seasonal surge in cleaning sales, which are more profitable than product sales.

JCSC often has a backlog of sales orders based on placement of future contracts so that buyers can capture key commodity supplies for specific crops due to seasonal patterns.

Industrial Tools and Clamps - MSI

MSI is a former division of the Company that imported and distributed products including pneumatic air tools, industrial clamps, and saw blades. These products were primarily sold to wholesalers that in turn sold to contractors and end users. This business operated from the same owned facilities as JCC.

The MSI division was permanently closed and all remaining inventory was liquidated during fiscal 2020.

Administrative Services – JC USA

JC USA Inc. is the parent company for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as described above. JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including warehousing, accounting and credit services, to its subsidiary companies.

7

Tariffs

The Company’s metal and other products are largely manufactured in China and are imported into the United States. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) instituted new tariffs on the importation of a number of products into the United States from China effective September 24, 2018. These new tariffs are a response to what the USTR considers to be certain unfair trade practices by China. The tariffs began at 10%, and subsequently were increased to 25% as of May 10, 2019. A number of the Company’s products manufactured in China have been subject to duties of 25% when imported into the United States.

These new tariffs were temporarily reduced on many of the Company’s imported products in September 2019 under a deemed one-year exemption. The 25% tariff rate was restored on the Company’s products in September 2020 when the exemption expired.

Customer Concentration

The top ten customers were responsible for 81% and 76% of total Company sales for the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively. Also, the Company’s single largest customer was responsible for 33% and 30% of total Company sales for the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 respectively.

Employees

As of August 31, 2021 the Company had 74 full-time employees (August 31, 2020 – 63 full-time employees). By segment these employees were located as follows: Greenwood 1, JCC 41, JCSC 12, and JC USA 20. None of these employees are represented by unions at the Company. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. has no direct employees, and the CEO of the Company is employed by JC USA.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Annual Report. There is a great deal of risk involved. In the business of the company, 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.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

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 Articles of Incorporation give our Board of Directors the right to enter into any contract without the approval of 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 could include exchanging a large amount of our common stock, which could dilute the ownership interest of present stockholders.

Future stock distributions could be structured in such a way as to be 1) diluting to our current shareholders or 2) could cause a change in control to new investors.

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. 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.

8

The Company’s common shares currently trade within the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States. The common shares also formerly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada until the Company voluntarily delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 11, 2012. The average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately 5,200 shares on NASDAQ for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. With this limited trading volume, investors could find it difficult to purchase or sell our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

A contagious disease outbreak, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic emergency, could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition

Our business could be negatively affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease due to the consequences of the actions taken by companies and governments to contain and control the virus. These consequences include:

`·`The inability of our third-party manufacturers in China and elsewhere to manufacture or deliver products to us in a timely manner, if it all.

`·`Isolation requirements may prevent our employees from being able to report to work or being required to work from home or other off-site location which may prevent us from accomplishing certain functions, including receiving products from our suppliers and fulfilling orders for our customers, which may result in an inability to meet our obligations.

`·`Our new products may be delayed or require unexpected changes to be made to our new or existing products.

`·`The effect of the outbreak on the economy may be severe, including an economic downturn and decrease in employment levels which could result in a decrease in consumer demand for our products.

The financial impact of such an outbreak are outside our control and are not reasonable to estimate but may be significant. The costs associated with any outbreak may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition and not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance.

We could experience a decrease in the demand for our products resulting in lower sales volumes.

In the past we have at times experienced decreasing products sales with certain customers. The reasons for this can be generally attributed to: increased competition; general economic conditions; demand for products; and consumer interest rates. If economic conditions deteriorate or if consumer preferences change, we could experience a significant decrease in profitability.

If our top customers were lost, we could experience lower sales volumes.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 our top ten customers represented 81% of our total sales, and our single largest customer was responsible for 33% of our total sales. We would experience a significant decrease in sales and profitability and would have to cut back our operations, if these customers were lost and could not be replaced. Our top ten customers are located in North America and are primarily in the retail home improvement and pet industries.

We could experience delays in the delivery of our products to our customers 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 and we would experience a loss in profitability.

Governmental actions, such as tariffs, and/or foreign policy actions could adversely and unexpectedly impact our business.

Since the bulk of our products are supplied from other countries, political actions by either our trading country or our own domestic policy could impact both availability and cost of our products. Currently, we see this in regard to tariffs being levied on foreign sourced products entering into the United States, including from China. The continuing tariffs by the United States on certain Chinese goods include some of our products that we purchase from suppliers in China. The company has multiple options to assist in mitigating the cost impacts of these government actions. However, we cannot control the duration or depth of such actions which may increase our product costs which would in turn reduce our margins and potentially decrease the competitiveness of our products. These actions could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We could lose our credit agreement and 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 $10 million, of which $5 million is available. 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.

Our information technology systems are susceptible to certain risks, including cyber security breaches, which could adversely impact our operations and financial condition.

Our operations involve information technology systems that process, transmit and store information about our suppliers, customers, employees, and financial information. These systems face threats including telecommunication failures, natural disasters, and cyber security threats, including computer viruses, unauthorized access to our systems, and other security issues. While we have taken aggressive steps to implement security measures to protect our systems and initiated an ongoing training program to address many of the primary causes of cyber threat with all our employees, such threats change and morph almost daily. There is no guarantee our actions will secure our information systems against all threats and vulnerabilities. The compromise or failure of our information systems could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to detect fraud or report our financial results accurately, which could harm our business and we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny.

We have completed a management assessment of internal controls as prescribed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which we were required to do in connection with our year ended August 31, 2021. Based on this process we did not identify any material weaknesses. Although we believe our internal controls are operating effectively, we cannot guarantee that in the future we will not identify any material weaknesses in connection with this ongoing process.

The Company’s executive offices are located at 32275 NW Hillcrest Street, North Plains, OR 97133. The 5.6 acre facility, which is owned, consists of 55,250 square feet of covered space (10,000 office and 47,250 warehouse), a little over three acres of paved yard space, and was originally completed in October 1995. A 12,000 square foot warehouse expansion was completed in fiscal 2017 which the Company is using for several new product lines. In fiscal 2021, the Company completed the conversion of 2,000 square feet of older warehouse space into 4,000 square feet of office and meeting space on two levels. The facility provides office space for JC USA, including all of the Company’s executive offices, and is used as a distribution center to service the Company’s customer base for JCC and Greenwood.

The property associated with JCSC, which is owned, consists of 11.7 acres of land, 105,000 square feet of buildings, rolling stock, and equipment. It is currently used for seed processing and storage. It is located at 31345 NW Beach Road, Hillsboro, OR 97124, which is adjacent to North Plains, OR.

During fiscal 2010, the Company purchased a 2,000 square foot building that previously housed a seed testing lab located at 31895 NW Hillcrest Street, North Plains, OR 97133. The Company formerly leased the property for $729 per month until the expiration of the lease on January 4, 2010. At that time, the Company exercised its option to buy the land and building for a total cost of $150,946. In fiscal 2020, the Company began a renovation of this building into its new innovation center which will focus on new product development for the Company’s subsidiaries. The renovation was completed during fiscal 2021.

In June 2012, the Company acquired land and fixed assets located in Manning, Oregon for $250,000 cash. The land consists of 7.5 acres and the fixed assets included 12,000 square feet of buildings. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company sold the property for $325,000 cash.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a named party in a Civil Action in Pennsylvania. The matter is an action seeking compensation for personal injuries and is based on theories of product liability as to Jewett-Cameron. The matter arises out of a dog allegedly escaping from a Jewett-Cameron kennel product and causing personal injuries to three individuals. Jewett-Cameron is currently one of three named Defendants. A trial date is pending but has not been set at this time. At the present time it is speculative to predict as to its outcome. It is the Company’s intention to vigorously defend the lawsuit. Jewett Cameron’s applicable liability insurer is providing a defense covering Jewett-Cameron’s legal fees and costs.

The Company has initiated arbitration in Oregon against a former distributor asserting a breach of the distribution agreement and seeking damages. The arbitration is expected to take place in August 2022. While the Company is robustly pursuing its rights and defending itself against counter claims by the distributor, the arbitration and lawsuit are in their initial stages and therefore it is speculative to predict as to their outcome

On June 6, 2018, the Company announced the Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase plan to purchase for cancellation up to 250,000 common shares through the facilities of NASDAQ. Transactions may involve Jewett-Cameron insiders or their affiliates executed in compliance with Jewett-Cameron's Insider Trading Policy.

Purchases shall be limited to one “Block” purchase per week in lieu of the 25% of ADTV limitation for compliance with Rule 10b-18(b)(4). A “block” as defined under Rule 10b-18(a)(5) means a quantity of stock that, among other things, is at least 5,000 shares and has a purchase price of at least US$50,000. The Plan commenced on June 11, 2018 and terminated upon the completion of the 250,000 share repurchase on October 25, 2018. Under the Plan, the Company repurchased and cancelled a total of 250,000 common shares at a total cost of $2,164,975 which was an average price of $8.66 per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The first two quarters of fiscal 2021 were very strong, with the first six month sales up approximately 42% over the sales for the first six months of fiscal 2020. The 3rd and 4th quarters of the fiscal year are historically the Company’s busiest season, and demand for a number of our core products were the highest in the Company’s history. The increase in sales was within all of the Company’s sales channels, including eCommerce, with many customers requesting both higher volumes and adding additional products to their orders.

However, sales during the 3rd and 4th quarters were significantly restrained in lawn, garden and pet products due to logistical issues, including extended manufacturing and shipping delays in China, a shortage of shipping containers and available ocean shipping, clogged port facilities, and a scarcity of trucking to ship and receive product. Several of our most popular products were sold out at times during the second half of the fiscal year. This has resulted in lower than anticipated sales and a high level of back orders from customers which has persisted into fiscal 2022. In response, we have adjusted our logistic processes and added new partners to increase our flexibility to ship and receive product. We have also increased our current pre-orders above our historical levels in expectation of continued uncertainty over container availability and factory uptime in China due to possible COVID-19 shutdowns and power shortages, and the upcoming scheduled Chinese New Year closures.

The high demand for both our core pet and fencing as well as new product introductions demonstrates the success of our current sales and marketing strategy. The rebranding of our products has highlighted our brand names and increased consumer awareness of our consistent look and statement of value. We remain committed to our overall strategy to expand new and existing sales channels, widen our product distribution, and grow our connections with the end consumer.

14

The expansion of our product lines through the introduction of complementary products is performing well. We intend to continue to develop new products, particularly those that complement and expand our existing product lines. Besides our internal new product development process, we may also seek to acquire products that conform to this strategy. Although our goal is to launch 6-8 new products each year, several of our planned new product introductions in both the second half of fiscal 2021 and the first half of fiscal 2022 have been postponed due to continuing supply and logistic issues. Instead, we have prioritized the manufacture and shipping of our core products to fulfill existing orders. We will reschedule the launch of these new products once the current worldwide logistic issues begin to improve.

We continue to invest in the expansion of our facilities, equipment, and personnel. The Company’s new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system successfully went live in February 2021 and has been performing well. We have also launched the third of four planned phases to modernize our facilities and add capacity for future expansion. We completed the renovation of an existing portion of the warehouse into a two-story office and gathering/lunchroom in May 2021. Other current capital projects include the renovation of the former seed laboratory into a new Innovation Center for new product development which was completed in February 2021. Currently, we are finalizing a complete refurbishment of our main office area. We have also revamped our corporate website in line with our omnichannel rebranding. These updates include a larger and unified product presentation, new eCommerce interface, and modernized investor relations and contact sections. The Company has added additional personnel to lead the efforts for enhancing consumer awareness and marketing for both the website and on multiple social media platforms.

In May 2021, Chad Summers was appointed President of the Company. Mr. Summers assumed the role from Charlie Hopewell who voluntarily decided to transition from President and his current CEO position to continue as Board Chair and Director effective January 1, 2022. Mr. Summers has been with Jewett-Cameron since October 2019. His prior experience includes a strong background in leadership, consulting, and support. He co-owned and led an international family lumber brokering business similar to Jewett-Cameron’s Greenwood division. This experience provided him the opportunity to oversee and actively manage suppliers in China and throughout SE Asia. He built a successful consulting practice dedicated to growing manufacturers in association with a west coast regional accounting firm which allowed him the opportunity to establish a deep network of manufacturers, professional services and support connections regionally. He also participated in and led start-up ventures in both product and service industries. Since joining the Company he has focused on driving growth through pursuing acquisition opportunities as well as key strategic partnerships.

The Company also increased our Board of Director with the addition of Michelle Rule Walker. Ms. Walker is a business strategist with experience in brand development, organizational alignment, and building consumer brands, including both B2B and B2C businesses. Previously, she was CEO of Sock It to Me, Inc., a sock and underwear brand she grew by 400% during her tenure. She has also held several senior positions with PepsiCo, including Senior Director and GM of the Lays and Ruffles brands where her responsibility included business strategy, brand positioning, product development, and sales strategy. Ms. Walker’s experience and guidance will be extremely important as the Company continues its growth strategy.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Oregon fully reopened and lifted all of its mask and social distancing requirements in June 2021. However, the Company will remain vigilant in regard to the COVID virus and its variants. It is critical to our continuing operations that we do all we can to protect and retain our workforce if and when they might experience exposure to the virus. If any employees working at headquarters or in the warehouse facilities contract the virus, the Company would be forced to curtail those operations, including product shipments, for the required period to thoroughly clean and sanitize the facility without human exposure, which would result in delayed or lost revenue, and increased costs. To date, we have not had any incidents of transmissions within the confines of our facilities due to our clear and consistent protocols during the restrictive period, as well as our employees’ remarkable support of our procedures which has been critical to our success in keeping our workplace safe and running. This has directly led to our ability to retain our workforce through these challenging times as well as create an environment in which people feel safe. The assistance of the PPP program provided us the ability to assist sound employee decisions when they either felt they had an external exposure or perhaps even tested positive due to such external exposure. The loans the Company received under the Paycheck Protection Program were essential in supporting the Company’s ability to operate without interruption during the crisis and retain 100% of its workforce. All of the borrowed funds were spent on qualifying employee payroll expenses, and the Company’s loans were fully forgiven by the SBA in April 2021.

15

The outlook for fiscal 2022 is uncertain. The continued strong demand for the Company’s products is very encouraging, but the ongoing supply chain, international shipping and logistic issues are hampering the receipt of our products from China. We are also seeing the effects of considerable cost increases both in logistics and manufacturing which is pressuring our margins. We have been working with customers regarding necessary price increases for our products. They have been much more receptive of our need for price increases than in the past which is likely due to the general knowledge of the present worldwide shipping and logistical issues and evidence of widespread inflationary pressures across North America. However, any sale price increases for our products would not be reflected in our results immediately and will lag our higher product and operating costs, which will have a negative impact on our margins in fiscal 2022.

Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020

Fiscal 2021 sales totaled $57,501,543 compared to sales of $44,945,263 in fiscal 2020, which was an increase of $12,556,280, or 28%. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales at JCC.

Gross margin declined to 24.6% from 27.8% in fiscal 2020 due to higher raw material and shipping and logistic costs.

Operating expenses increased by $1,791,907 to $10,406,954 from $8,615,047 in fiscal 2020. The increase was due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,204,945 from $2,502,989 and an increase in wages and employee benefits, which rose to $6,957,730 from $5,894,346. Both increases are related to the Company’s investment efforts to support the Company’s growth initiatives, including the addition of additional personnel and our marketing and rebranding initiatives. Depreciation and amortization increased to $244,279 from $217,712. Income from operations decreased to $3,739,692 from $3,858,136 in fiscal 2020 due to the lower gross margins and the higher costs to support our future growth.

Including other items, income before income taxes was $4,424,208 in fiscal 2021 compared to $3,889,156 in fiscal 2020. Other items in fiscal 2021 were gain on extinguishment of debt of $687,387, which was the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loans. Interest and other expenses were $2,871. In fiscal 2020, other items were a gain on sale of property, plant and equipment of $6,600 and interest and other income of $24,420 from interest received on cash balances from short-term investments. Income tax expense was $969,255 compared to $1,104,631 in fiscal 2020. The Company calculates income tax expense based on combined federal and state rates that are currently in effect.

Net income for fiscal 2021 was $3,454,953, or $0.99 per common share, compared to net income of $2,784,525, or $0.77 per basic and diluted share, for fiscal 2020. The income per share was positively affected by the significant one-time gain on the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loans in fiscal 2021. The weighted number of shares outstanding were 3,486,537 in fiscal 2021 and 3,623,413 in fiscal 2020.

Pet, Fencing and Other - JCC

Sales at JCC were $51,732,129 in fiscal 2021 compared to sales of $40,348,660 in fiscal 2020.

Operating income at JCC for 2021 was $4,052,624 compared to $3,936,491 in 2020, which was an increase of $116,133, or 3%. The stronger demand for many of the Company’s products, especially the pet, fencing and outdoor product lines which began in the second half of fiscal 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic’s stay-at-home orders, continued throughout 2021 and was reflected in the 28% increase in the segment sales. However, the significant rise in shipping and logistic costs during the second half of fiscal 2021 negatively affected the segment gross margins and resulted in only a low single digit increase in JCC’s operating income. Overall, the operating results of JCC are seasonal with the first two quarters of the fiscal year historically being much slower than the final two quarters of the fiscal year. The company believes this pattern would have been repeated this year were it not for significant shipment interruptions due to global supply and logistics constraints.

16

The following table shows a breakdown between the pet, fencing and other categories in this segment.

| Sales in Millions of Dollars |  | Percent of Total Sales
Fiscal Year | Pet | Fencing | Other |  | Pet | Fencing | Other
2021 | $16,446,932 | $33,805,909 | $1,479,288 |  | 32% | 65% | 3%
2020 | $14,086,528 | $22,837,304 | $3,424,828 |  | 35% | 57% | 8%

Along with the strong demand for the Company’s core products, several new products were launched in fiscal 2021 and have been well received by customers, including the compostable dog waste bags. Customer orders remained high in the 3rd and 4th quarters of fiscal 2021, but many orders were not able to be fulfilled due to manufacturing and shipping delays from China. Management prioritized the shipping of JCC’s best-selling core products and postponed the planned launch of several new products in fiscal 2021 until the worldwide shipping and logistical situation improves. We have also discontinued the Trueshade line of backyard furniture products as those products were not complementary to our other outdoor products and were adversely affecting our margin due primarily to strong competitive pressures. In their place, we will be focusing on the introduction of a number of new products which will broaden and better integrate with our other lines, including our pet, garden, fencing, and outdoor products.

Industrial Wood Products - Greenwood

Sales at Greenwood in fiscal 2021 were $2,597,276, which was an increase of $312,026, or 14%, from sales of $2,285,250 in fiscal 2020. Greenwood’s sales have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 shutdowns, as many of their products are sold to municipalities and larger transit operators. In addition, late in the 3rd quarter and extending into the 4th quarter, customers were severely impacted by shortages of components necessary to complete transit products due to logistics and supply chain shortages. Greenwood is currently introducing new products to both existing and new customers, including a new stairstep program, large format concrete forms and batting that will compliment new building siding compliance standards requiring increased air gap between the siding and building surface. Management is also actively seeking new brokers to both open new sales channels and broaden its customer base, particularly in the housing and construction sectors. Greenwood recorded an operating loss of ($144,313) in fiscal 2021 compared to an operating loss of ($122,088) in fiscal 2020.

Seed Processing and Sales - JCSC

Sales at JCSC were $3,172,138 in fiscal 2021 compared to sales of $2,071,157 in fiscal 2020, which represents an increase of $1,100,981, or 53%. Management has worked to refocus JCSC to better provide local growers with cleaning services, although a historic heat wave across the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2021 damaged many crops and reduced harvested yields, which has resulted in lower cleaning volumes. JCSC also has worked to increase its seed brokering and sales services which was primarily responsible for the higher revenues in fiscal 2021. JCSC had an operating loss of ($64,538) in fiscal 2021 compared to an operating loss of ($181,712) in fiscal 2020.

Industrial Tools and Clamps - MSI

During fiscal 2018, management initiated a review of the segment to improve margins, which includes reducing inventory holding costs of slower selling items. This review led to the write-offs of obsolete inventory of $66,000 in fiscal 2019. Unfortunately, management’s efforts were ultimately unsuccessful in increasing sales or margins due to a lack of market differentiation and changing customer patterns. Therefore, the Board of Directors decided to permanently close MSI effective September 2019. All of the fiscal 2020 sales for MSI represent the liquidation of the entire remaining inventory.

Sales at MSI were $240,196 in fiscal 2020 and the operating loss was ($237,133). With the disposal of the remaining inventory during fiscal 2020, MSI was closed, and the subsidiary wound-up and dissolved.

Corporate – JC USA

JC USA, the holding company that provides professional and administrative services for the wholly-owned operating subsidiaries had operating income of $580,435 in fiscal 2021 compared to operating income of $493,598 for fiscal 2020. The increase is due to higher rental and administrative fees charged to its subsidiaries related to the inventory levels maintained throughout the year. The results of JC USA are inter-company transactions and are eliminated on consolidation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2021

As of August 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $19,073,194 compared to working capital of $16,815,454 as of August 31, 2020, which is an increase of $2,257,740. The largest changes affecting working capital is an increase in inventory of $5,193,219 to $14,391,365 from $9,198,146. Due to the logistic and shipping issues within and between China and the US, much of this inventory was in transit and was not available to the Company to be sold and delivered to customers during the 3rd and 4th quarters of fiscal 2021. These manufacturing and logistical issues, including Chinese factory production issues, an extensive shortage of shipping containers and ships, and congested US ports, are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company has extended its order lead time from its suppliers in China, which increased its prepaid expenses as of August 31, 2021 to $2,305,820 compared to $1,036,128 as of August 31, 2020.

Other changes in components of working capital include a decrease in cash of $2,616,724, an increase in accounts receivable of $812,077, and an increase in prepaid income taxes of $252,958. The decrease in cash is related to the increases in inventory and accounts receivable due to the delays in receiving inventory from suppliers in China and the timing of accounts receivable.

Accounts payable rose to $1,349,677 from $1,095,061 which is related to the timing of payments due to suppliers. Accrued liabilities decreased to $1,798,088 from $2,016,300, a decrease of $218,212. Bank indebtedness, which is from the Company’s line of credit, was $3,000,000 as of August 31, 2021 compared to $Nil as of August 31, 2020. Income taxes payable was $Nil compared to $40,596 in fiscal 2020. Notes payable, which are the PPP loans received in fiscal 2020, declined by $680,707 to $Nil as the SBA forgave the entire amount of both loans in fiscal 2021. Deferred tax liability rose to $116,945 from $96,952.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the accounts receivable collection period or DSO was 45 days compared to 51 days for the year ended August 31, 2020. Inventory turnover for the year ended August 31, 2021 was 99 days compared to 88 days for the year ended August 31, 2020.

The Company has historically utilized a portion of its cash position to repurchase common shares under formal repurchase plans in order to increase shareholder value. Due to the global pressures noted, the Company chose to not initiate a share buyback program in 2021.

During the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2020 ended February 29, 2020, the Company repurchased for cancelation a total of 490,120 common shares from two large shareholders, including an officer and director of the Company. The shares were repurchased privately at a price of $7.89 per share, calculated as the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of all the shares traded on NASDAQ during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The total cost of the share repurchases was $3,867,046.

Short-term and Long-term Debt

External sources of liquidity include a line of credit from U.S. Bank of $5 million, of which $2 million was available as of August 31, 2021. However, subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company has drawn additional funds and negotiated as contingency only, an increase of $5 million to the line of credit to $10 million. As of October 29, 2021, $5 million remains available.

Borrowing under the line of credit is secured by an assignment of accounts receivable and inventory. The interest rate is calculated solely on the one month LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points. As of August 31, 2021 the one month LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points was 1.84% (1.75% + 0.09%). With the expected phase-out of LIBOR, the Company expects the calculated rate on the line of credit will be changed to another published reference standard before the planned cessation of LIBOR quotations in 2022. However, the Company does not anticipate this change will have any significant effect on the terms and conditions, and ability to access, the line of credit, or on its financial condition. The line of credit also has certain financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with these covenants.

18

During the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company applied for and received two loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Company believed the PPP funds were necessary because the Company was quickly depleting its available cash in April due to inventory purchases to fulfil customer orders ahead of its busiest selling season, some delays in receiving inventory from China due to reduced availability of ocean shipping, and the danger of potential COVID-19 infections. If any of the Company’s employees on site were to contract the virus during this time, the Company would have been required to shut down the facility for a minimum of 14 days to clean and disinfect, and no product would be shipped to customers. Without the cash flow from product sales, the Company would have likely had to immediately layoff or furlough many of its employees, which would further delay the Company’s ability to recover after the shutdown. All of the proceeds from the PPP loans were used for employee payroll expenses.

The principal amount of the PPP loans was $680,707. They had a term of 2 years with a 1% annual interest rate. Payments were originally deferred for 6 months, after which the repayment of principal and interest is required to be made in equal monthly payments over 18 months beginning December 4, 2020. However, the SBA subsequently revised the due date to either the date that SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness covered period. In April 2021, the SBA approved the Company’s application for forgiveness of the entire amount of both loans. The Company has recorded a one-time gain on the extinguishment of debt of $687,387 consisting of the principal of $680,707 and accrued interest of $6,680.

Current Working Capital Requirements

Based on the Company’s current working capital position, the continued global shipping and logistical issues, and the utilization of its current line of credit, the Company may require additional working capital to meet its needs for fiscal 2022. Management recently increased its line of credit to $10 million which is available to meet its short-term needs. However, the Board is discussing alternative sources of capital, which could include a future public offering of common shares. The proceeds from such an offering could be utilized both for short-term capital needs and to compliment the Company’s growth plans in future years.

OTHER MATTERS

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company currently has no material contractual obligations or commercial commitments other than to suppliers of products or services.

Inflation

Inflation did not have a material impact during fiscal 2020. Beginning in fiscal 2021, a number of product costs increased substantially, including raw materials, energy, and transportation/logistical related costs.

These higher costs have negatively affected the Company’s gross margins in the shorter term. Typically, the Company passes cost increases on to the customer, and is currently raising its product prices as much as the market will bear. Retailers are currently more receptive to such increases than in the past due to a mutual understanding of the current inflationary environment and the objective reasons for such. Since the ability of the Company to pass through all of the current increase in its product costs to its customers are somewhat limited and occur after such costs are first incurred, management expects that its gross margins will remain under pressure in fiscal 2022.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)

Jewett-Cameron endeavors to be a good steward and provide sustainable products with a positive impact. We strive to operate and grow in a way that honors our environment and relationships for the long term. This also aligns with one of our three value pillars: sustainability.

19

Environmental

For our products, the goal is that 90% of materials can be recycled. Our suppliers are audited to strict commercial and fair practice standards, including our own supplier qualifications regarding facilities, capacity, labor practices, and environmental awareness. Packaging is designed to maximize recyclability and re-use and minimize non-recycled materials, and all waste materials in our own facilities are segregated to maximize recycling. Our facilities have replaced high energy consumption infrastructure with energy efficient HVAC and lighting during our recent remodel.

Active products and designs utilize either recycled or non-petroleum-based plastics to enhance recycling and composting. This includes the recently introduced compostable dog waste bag, a plant-based product, that is less reliant on fossil fuels used in traditional plastic bags. We also dedicate a percentage of sales to a sustainability coalition to drive industry research and development into more environmentally conscious products and raw material science.

Social

Our social responsibilities include cultural standards of operations and values which we establish in conjunction with our employees. We regularly provide employees with a corporate engagement survey to benchmark their engagement, satisfaction, and ideas for change. We support educational programs that build the future workforce through active participation in regional and statewide organizations, including the CTE/STEM Employer Coalition and assisting teachers to connect traditional school subjects to practical job site applications. The Company also actively participates in the local community, supported by a Corporate Charitable Giving Charter.

Governance

As a public company, our processes are outlined and governed by multiple regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley. Our financial controls are mapped, executed, self-audited as well as regularly audited by outside experts as part of our annual process. We have established risk mitigations that allows for condensed reviews of risks and impacts with our systems in place. An IT Governance Committee aligns execution and security both for ourselves and also for parties with whom we communicate and do business.

Critical Accounting Policies

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company adopted Topic 842, Leases, which was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on September 1, 2019. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements on adoption.

Other than Topic 842, the Company did not adopt any new accounting policies that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, nor did it make changes to 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

Management has reviewed the new accounting guidance and determined that there is not a material impact on our financial statements.

20

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments as of August 31, 2021, and the Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company’s cash as well as interest paid on debt. The Company has a line of credit with an interest rate based on published rates that may fluctuate over time based on economic changes in the environment. The Company is subject to interest rate risk and could be subject to increased interest payments if market interest rates fluctuate. The Company does not expect any change in the interest rates to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates primarily in the United States. However, a relatively small amount of business is conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Also, to the extent that the Company uses contract manufacturers in China, currency exchange rates can influence the Company’s purchasing costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Jewett Cameron Trading Company Ltd.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (the “Company”), as of August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jewett Cameron Trading Company Ltd. as of August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments.

The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

23

Revenues from sales of pet, fencing, and other products

As indicated in the Company’s statement of operations and in Notes 1 and 14, 90% of the Company’s sales in the year ended August 31, 2021 were generated through its pet, fencing and other products segment. The business consists of the manufacturing and distribution of specialty metal products and wholesale distribution of wood products to home centers and other retailers located primarily in the United States. Revenues from this segment are the most material number in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Auditing revenue from the Company’s pet, fencing, and other products segment is challenging and complex due to the volume of transactions through the year and around year end. Further, the Company’s revenue recognition is complex due to the terms of recognition varying by customer.

To address the matter in our audit, we obtained an understanding of the key controls to treat risk of revenue recognition, completeness, occurrence, and cut-off. We analysed the terms and conditions of the sales contracts and evaluated whether they have been accounted for in line with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. We performed substantive testing procedures over revenue transactions, agreeing key transaction inputs to customer agreements, invoices, purchase orders, shipping documents, bank statements and other relevant documents.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1999.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

`1.```NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. was incorporated in British Columbia on July 8, 1987 as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (“JCLC”), incorporated September 1953. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. acquired all the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange on July 13, 1987, and at that time JCLC became a wholly owned subsidiary. Effective September 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain of its subsidiaries. JCLC’s name was changed to JC USA Inc. (“JC USA”), and a new subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Company (“JCC”), was incorporated.

JC USA has the following wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon: Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, (“JCSC”), incorporated October 2000, Greenwood Products, Inc. (“Greenwood”), incorporated February 2002, and Jewett-Cameron Company, incorporated September 2013. Former wholly owned subsidiary MSI-PRO was wound-up and dissolved in fiscal 2020. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have no significant assets in Canada.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates out of facilities located in North Plains, Oregon. JCC’s business consists of the manufacturing and distribution of pet, fencing and other products, wholesale distribution to home centers, other retailers, on-line as well as direct to end consumers located primarily in the United States. Greenwood is a processor and distributor of industrial wood and other specialty building products principally to customers in the marine and transportation industries in the United States. JCSC is a processor and distributor of agricultural seeds in the United States. MSI was an importer and distributor of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States. JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including accounting and credit services, to its subsidiary companies.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of non-essential businesses, affected the Company’s operations including delays in inventory production and shipping, a change of product mix based on customer demand to fencing, pet and DIY products, an increase in demand from online sales channels, and costs associated with compliance with COVID-19 control protocols. The Company’s operations, including inventory production and sales, have been excluded from business restrictions within the jurisdictions that the Company operates. However, due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 and the effect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things valuation of inventory and collectability of accounts receivable. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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. Significant estimates incorporated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory obsolescence, possible product liability and possible product returns, and litigation contingencies and claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At August 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $1,184,313 compared to $3,801,037 at August 31, 2020.

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.

The Company extends credit to domestic customers and offers discounts for early payment. When extension of credit is not advisable, the Company relies on either prepayment or a letter of credit.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily 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. An allowance for potential non-saleable inventory due to excess stock or obsolescence is based upon a review of inventory components.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less 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 | 3-7 years
| Warehouse equipment | 2-10 years
| Buildings | 5-30 years

Intangibles

The Company’s intangible assets have a finite life and are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the asset. The intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment.

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 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). The Company does not have any significant asset retirement obligations.

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.

Currency and foreign exchange

These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars as the Company's operations are primarily based in the United States.

The Company does not have non-monetary or monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any statement of operations transactions in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per common share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.

| Basic and diluted earnings per common share | $ | 0.99 |  | $ | 0.77

Comprehensive income

The Company has no items of other comprehensive income in any year presented. Therefore, net income presented in the consolidated statements of operations equals comprehensive income.

Stock-based compensation

All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award.

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 - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank and cash held in short term investment accounts.

Accounts receivable - the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and historical collectability.

Notes payable - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.

Financial instruments (cont’d…)

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of August 31, 2021 and 2020 follows:

|  | 2021 |  | 2020
|  | Carrying | Fair |  | Carrying | Fair

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

|  |  | August 31, 2021 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |
| Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,184,313 |  | $ | 1,184,313 |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |

The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

Income taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. 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 and handling 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 sales in the consolidated statements of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of lumber, building supply products, industrial wood products, specialty metal products, 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 from 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, products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The accounting standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-14 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU on September 1, 2020. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements on adoption.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future discounted 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 investments in its 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.

`8.`NOTES PAYABLE

On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into loan agreements with U.S. Bank (the “Lender”) for two unsecured loans represented by promissory notes (the “Notes”). The loans were made pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

The first loan was made to JCC for $487,127 and the second loan was made to JC USA for $193,580. The total principal amount of the two notes is $680,707. They have a term of 2 years with a 1% annual interest rate. Payments were originally deferred for 6 months, after which the repayment of principal and interest is required to be made in equal monthly payments over 18 months beginning December 4, 2020. However, the SBA subsequently revised the due date to either the date that SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness covered period. There is no prepayment penalty. If proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as defined by the CARES Act, including payroll costs, health care benefits, rent and utilities, the Company can apply for forgiveness after 60 days of all or any portion of the promissory note used for such qualifying expenses.

The Company has chosen to account for the loans under FASB ASC 470. Repayment amounts due within 1 year have been recorded as current liabilities, and the remaining amounts due in more than 1 year as long-term liabilities. If the Company is successful in receiving forgiveness for those portions of the loan used for qualifying expenses, those amounts will be recorded as a gain upon extinguishment.

During fiscal 2021 ended August 31, 2021, the Company’s applications for loan forgiveness of both loans was approved by the SBA. The Company has recorded a gain of extinguishment of debt of $687,387 consisting of $680,707 of principal and $6,680 of interest.

`9.`CAPITAL STOCK

Common stock

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. There are no restrictions that limit the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock. The Company has not declared any dividends since incorporation.

`10.```CANCELLATION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Treasury stock may be kept based on an acceptable inventory method such as the average cost basis. Upon disposition or cancellation, the treasury stock account is credited for an amount equal to the number of shares cancelled, multiplied by the cost per share and the difference is treated as additional paid-in-capital in excess of stated value.

During the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2020 ended February 29, 2020, the Company repurchased for cancelation a total of 490,120 common shares from two large shareholders, including an officer and director of the Company. The shares were repurchased privately at a price of $7.89 per share, calculated as the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of all the shares traded on NASDAQ during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The total cost of the share repurchases was $3,867,046. The premium paid to acquire those shares over their per share book value in the amount of $3,751,427 was recorded as a decrease to retained earnings

`11.```SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS

Stock Options

The Company formerly had a stock option program under which stock options to purchase securities from the Company could be granted to directors and employees of the Company on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities of Canada, notably the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

Under the stock option program, stock options for up to 10% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares could be granted from time to time, provided that stock options in favor of any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares. No stock option granted under the stock option program is transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each stock option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. Generally, no option can be for a term of more than 10 years from the date of the grant.

The exercise price of all stock options, granted under the stock option program, must be at least equal to the fair market value (subject to regulated discounts) of such common shares on the date of grant. Options vested at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the termination of the stock option program. The Company had no stock options outstanding as of August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company has a Restricted Share Plan (the “Plan”) as approved by shareholders on February 8, 2019. The Plan allows the Company to grant, from time to time, restricted shares as compensation to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions, including the period under which the shares will be restricted (the “Restricted Period”) and subject to forfeiture which is determined by the Board at the time of the grant. The recipient of Restricted Shares is entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive any dividends, except that the shares granted under the Plan are nontransferable during the Restricted Period.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan will not exceed 1% of the then issued and outstanding number of Common Shares at the time of the grant. As of August 31, 2021, the maximum number of shares available to be issued under the Plan was 31,713.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended February 28, 2021, the Board of Directors set the compensation for members of the Board under the Plan. Non-executive directors will be granted 25 common shares for each quarter of service, with the cumulative amount of shares earned each fiscal year to be granted shortly after the close of that fiscal year. Non-executive Directors also received a one-time initial grant of 225 common shares which were issued in December 2020.

During fiscal 2021 ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued 7,999 common shares to Officers, Directors and Employees under the RSA Plan. 6,564 of these shares were issued to Officers and Directors without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement filed on December 7, 2020. The remaining 1,435 shares were issued to Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period.

The Company has a deferred compensation 401(k) plan for all employees with at least 6 months of service pending a monthly enrollment time. The plan allows for a non-elective discretionary contribution plus matching employee contributions up to a specific limit. The percentages of contribution remain the discretion of the Board and are reviewed with management annually. For the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 the 401(k) compensation expense was $530,311 and $439,368, respectively.

`13.```DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective September 1, 2019, the Board of Directors decided to permanently close the MSI division and exit the industrial tools business. During fiscal 2020 ended August 31, 2020, the remaining inventory was been liquidated, the division was wound-up, and the subsidiary voluntarily dissolved. The operations and assets of MSI were significantly immaterial to the Company’s overall performance. As such, separate disclosure of MSI’s operations as discontinued operations within the Company’s statement of operations was not considered necessary.

`14.```SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has four principal reportable segments. Three segments are continuing operations and one, Industrial Tools and Clamps, is considered as a discontinued operation. These reportable segments were determined based on the nature of the products offered. Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income before taxes. The following tables show the operations of the Company's reportable segments.

`15.```CONCENTRATIONS

``Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with a high quality financial 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, 2021, three customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable for a total of 67%. At August 31, 2020, two customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable for a total of 48%. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, credit insurance 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 has concentrations in the volume of purchases it conducts with its suppliers. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, there were three suppliers which each accounted for greater than 10% of total purchases, and the aggregate purchases amounted to $25,082,956. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, there were two suppliers which each accounted for greater than 10% of total purchases, and the aggregate purchases amounted to $22,249,043.

`17.`CONTINGENCY

The Company is a named party in a Civil Action in Pennsylvania. The matter is an action seeking compensation for personal injuries and is based on theories of product liability as to the Company. The matter arises out of a dog allegedly escaping from a Jewett-Cameron kennel product and causing personal injuries to three individuals. The Company is currently one of three named Defendants. A trial date has not been set at this time. At the present time it is speculative to predict as to its outcome. It is the Company’s intention to vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Company’s applicable liability insurer is providing a defense covering the Company’s legal fees and costs.

The Company has initiated arbitration against a former distributor asserting a breach of the distribution agreement and seeking damages. Arbitration is scheduled to commence in the first week of August 2022. While the company is robustly pursuing its rights and defending itself against claims, the arbitration and lawsuit are in their initial stages and therefore it is speculative to predict as to its outcome

`18.```SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

`a.`The Company’s Bank Line of Credit was subsequently increased from $5 million to $10 million, of which $5 million is available.

`b.`In October 2021, the Company issued 3,681 common shares to Officers, Directors and Employees under the Company’s Restricted Share Plan. 2,015 shares were issued to Officer and Directors without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement. 1,666 common shares were issued to Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Frank D. Magdlen has served as our “audit committee financial expert” but has taken a leave of absence pending further diagnosis. Geoff Guilfoy has been designated our Interim Audit Committee Chair and financial expert given his extensive background in oversight, financial budgeting and reporting and strategic consultation. Mr. Guilfoy is also independent as that term is used in Section 240.14a-101 under the Exchange Act and as defined under NSADAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). The Board will address Mr. Magdlen’s continuing service upon further information.

Prior to Mr. Madglen’s current situation, our Board of Directors had determined that Frank G. Magdlen was the “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Magdlen is independent as that term is used in Section 240.14a-101 under the Exchange Act and as defined under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15).

Audit Committees

The Company has an Audit Committee, which recommends to the board of directors the engagement of the independent auditors of the Company and reviews with the independent auditors the scope and results of the Company’s audits, the Company’s internal accounting controls, and the professional services furnished by the independent auditors to the Company. The board of directors, in light of the increased responsibilities placed on the Audit Committee during 2002 by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC, adopted an Amended and Restated Charter in late 2002.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of auditors; and concerns about accounting and auditing matters; and has the authority to engage independent counsel and other outside advisors.

The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals required by this policy / procedure. The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve a service shall be presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

In accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company introduced a procedure for the review and pre-approval of any services performed by Davidson & Company, LLP Chartered Accountants, including audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. The procedure requires that all proposed engagements of Davidson & Company, LLP Chartered Accountants for audit and permitted non-audit services are submitted to the Audit Committee for approval prior to the beginning of any such services.

The current members of the Audit Committee are Frank Magdlen (on Leave of Absence), Geoff Guilfoy (Interim Chair), Sarah Johnson, and Chris Karlin. All current members of the Audit Committee are “independent” within the meaning of the new regulations from the SEC regarding audit committee membership. The Audit Committee met six times in fiscal 2021 and four times in fiscal 2020.

Compensation Committee

The Company has a Compensation Committee which recommends to the Board of Directors on compensation matters for the Company, including compensation plans and benefits of executive officers and directors. This includes determining the compensation for senior management, the form and amounts of Director compensation, the size and recipients of bonuses, and equity incentive plans, including the grant of options and other awards. The Committee will also recommend executive appointments and complete annual performance evaluations of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Committee also advises on succession plan matters and has the authority to retain outside advisors or consultants.

The Committee operates under a written charter, which requires the Committee to consist of at least three members appointed by the Board. The members shall be independent directors, and the Board will designate one member as Chairman of the Committee. The Committee shall meet a minimum of one time per year.

47

Current members of the Compensation Committee are Chris Karlin (Chair), Sarah Johnson), Geoff Guilfoy, , and Frank Magdlen (on Leave of Absence). The Committee met three times in fiscal 2021 and three times in fiscal 2020.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

The Company has reviewed the Forms 3 and 4 furnished to the Company under Rule 16a-3(e) of the Securities Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year and the Forms 5 furnished to the Company with respect to its most recent fiscal year, as well as any written representations received by the Company from persons required to file such forms. Management has determined there was one report that failed to be filed on a timely basis as required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year, as a Form 3 for Michelle Walker was filed late.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a written “code of ethics” that meets the United States' Sarbanes-Oxley standards. The code is posted on the Company’s website.

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:

`a.` any breach of their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

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

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

`d.` 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 executive officers.

Among other things, this 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 the Company, 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.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Table No. 6 details compensation paid or accrued for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the Company’s chief executive officer, each of the Company’s most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total salary and bonus exceeds $100,000 per year.

`(1)`“All Other Compensation” relates to the Company’s 401K contributions for each individual.

The Company has the same 401(k) Plan for executives as for all employees: it is a dollar-for-dollar match on 10% of eligible compensation, and a non-elective discretionary contribution based on the first $45,000 of eligible compensation which was changed for 2020 from only a non-elective discretionary contribution based on the first $45,000 of eligible compensation.

Other than participation in the Company’s Restricted Share Plan and 401(k), no funds were set aside or accrued during fiscal 2021 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers.

The Company has no plans or arrangements with respect to remuneration received or that may be received by executive officers of the Company to compensate such executive officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control.

No executive officer or director received other compensation in excess of the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of such officer's cash compensation, and all executive officers or directors as a group did not receive other compensation, which exceeded $25,000 times the number of persons in the group or 10% of the compensation.

Except for our Restricted Stock Plan and 401(k) Plan, we have no material stock option plan, bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers. Michael Nasser and Charles Hopewell received bonuses, which were determined and approved by the Board of Directors.

The Board approved a non-qualified Profit-Sharing plan for employees who did not receive any other form of commission or bonus. The plan is formula based proportionately balancing years of service and compensation. The Board has year-to-year responsibility to review the amount funded to the program and the overall program will be based on a percentage of operating or pre-tax profit.

49

Restricted Share Plan

The Company has a Restricted Share Plan which allows the Company to grant restricted shares as compensation to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions, including the period under which the shares will be restricted and subject to forfeiture which is determined by the Board at the time of the grant. The recipient of Restricted Shares is entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive any dividends, except that the shares granted under the Plan are nontransferable during the Restricted Period.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan will not exceed 1% of the then issued and outstanding number of Common Shares at the time of the grant. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued 7,999 common shares (fiscal 2020 – Nil) under the Restricted Share Plan. Of the 7,999 common shares, 6,564 shares were issued to officers and directors without a restricted period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement filed on December 7, 2020. The remaining 1,435 shares were issued to Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period.

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2021, the Company issued 3,681 common shares to Officers, Directors and Employees under the Company’s Restricted Share Plan. 2,015 shares were issued to Officer and Directors without a Restricted Period under the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement. 1,666 common shares were issued to Employees and have a three-year Restricted Period.

401(k) Plan

The Company has a 401(k) Plan which allows for a non-elective discretionary contribution based on the first $45,000 of eligible compensation. Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Company reduced the percentage amount of the discretionary contribution while adding a matching contribution, which is designed to encourage employees to participate with their own contributions. For the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 the 401(k) compensation expense was $530,311 and $439,368, respectively. The contributions for Charles Hopewell were $29,600 and $28,600 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. The contributions for Michael Nasser were $14,400 and $14,850 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. There are no un-funded liabilities.

Stock Options

The Company formerly had a stock option program under which stock options to purchase securities from the Company could be granted to directors and employees of the Company on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities of Canada, notably the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the termination of the stock option program. No options were granted in fiscal 2021 or 2020, and the Company had no stock options outstanding as of August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020.

Long-Term Incentive Plan / Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan

During fiscal 2021 the Company had no Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and no LTIP awards were made. Also, during fiscal 2021 the Company had no Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Company’s Compensation Committee consists of 4 independent directors. None of the members of the Compensation Committee served as an officer or employee of the Company in the prior fiscal year.

No board of director member and none of our executive officers have a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with executive officers and directors of another entity.

Director Compensation

The Company began compensating directors at the rate of $1,000 per month as of January 1, 2019. Directors are also entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of the Company other than services ordinarily required of a director.

During fiscal 2021 the following cash payments were paid to directors: Charles Hopewell $Nil (2020 - $Nil); Frank Magdlen $9,000 (fiscal 2020 - $12,000), Geoff Guilfoy $12,000 (fiscal 2020 - $12,000); Sarah Johnson $12,000 (fiscal 2020 -$12,000); and Chris Karlin $12,000 (fiscal 2020 - $12,000).

In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved additional compensation for Directors other than Named Executive Officer members under the Company’s Restricted Share Plan. Directors will be granted 25 common shares for each fiscal quarter of service, with the amount earned during the year to be distributed by the end of the first fiscal quarter of the following fiscal year. Directors also received a one-time grant of 225 common shares each upon the approval by the Board, with such shares distributed in December 2020. The value of the 225 shares granted to each non-executive Director was $1,980.

In October 2021, the Company issued 400 common shares to directors under the RSA Plan. The value of the shares issued was $4,240.

Executive Officer Compensation

The Company’s Compensation Committee provides advice and recommendations to the Board of Directors on compensation and benefits for executive officers. As in prior years all judgments regarding executive compensation for fiscal 2021 and 2020 were based primarily upon our assessment of each executive officer’s performance and contribution towards enhancing long-term shareowner value. We rely upon judgment and not upon rigid guidelines or formulas or short-term changes in our stock price in determining the amount and mix of compensation for each executive officer.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of auditors; and has the authority and the funding to engage independent counsel and other outside advisors.

The audit committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the audit committee the authority to grant pre-approvals required by this policy and procedure. The decisions of any audit committee member to whom authority is delegated to pre-approve a service shall be presented to the audit committee at its next meeting.

In accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we introduced a procedure for the review and pre-approval of any services performed by Davidson & Company, LLP Chartered Accountants, including audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. The procedure requires that all proposed engagements of Davidson & Company, LLP Chartered Accountants for audit and permitted non-audit services are submitted to the finance and audit committee for approval prior to the beginning of any such services.
