AUGUST 31, 2025
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, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was 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 critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates to.
Completeness and accuracy of revenue
As described in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company recognized revenue of $41,298,140 for the year ended August 31, 2025. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements of the Company recognizes revenue from the sales of lumber, building supply products, industrial wood products, specialty metal products and other specialty products. The product revenue is recognized on shipment or receipt of product depending on the agreed customer terms.
The principal considerations for our determination that the recognition of revenues is a critical audit matter are the volume of low value transactions and the significant value of total revenue recognized. This in turn leads to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence for revenues recognized.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others:
| · | Evaluating the appropriateness of management’s assessment of revenue recognition criteria based on the Company’s operations. |
| · | Performing substantive testing procedures over a sample of revenue entries to invoices, shipping documents, and cash receipts to ensure completeness, occurrence, accuracy and appropriate cut-off of revenue recognized. |
| · | Assessing the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy is in accordance with US GAAP. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1999.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 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 JCC, incorporated September 2013. 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 was a processor and distributor of agricultural seeds in the United States. JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including accounting and credit services, to its subsidiary companies.
Effective August 31, 2023, the Company ended seed cleaning operations at its JCSC. During the year ended August 31, 2024, JCSC ended its active operations and sold most of its remaining equipment to wind up the business.
The Company’s operations and general workforce can be negatively affected by a number of external factors. Examples include, but are not limited to, a global pandemic and political conflict in other regions that may affect economies and financial markets globally. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of adverse results of such external factors and their effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or ability to raise funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain comparatives have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its current wholly owned subsidiaries, JC USA, JCC, JCSC, and Greenwood, all of which are incorporated under the laws of Oregon, U.S.A.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
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.
JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
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, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $226,213 compared to $4,853,367 at August 31, 2024.
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. In 2018, the Company was granted a patent for an update of its Adjust-a-Gate™, which extends the protection until 2033.
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.
JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
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 which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries 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 (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.
The earnings (loss) per share data for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| Schedule of earnings (loss) per share | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Net (loss) income | $(4,130,092) | $721,753 |
| Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 3,512,975 | 3,503,221 |
| Effect of dilutive securities | ||
| Stock options | — | — |
| Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 3,512,975 | 3,503,221 |
| Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share | $(1.18) | $0.21 |
Comprehensive income (loss)
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss in any year presented. Therefore, net income or loss presented in the consolidated statements of operations equals comprehensive income or loss.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Equity awards are accounted for at their “fair value” which is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. For “full-value” awards, fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock that have time vesting conditions.
JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
Stock-based compensation (cont’d…)
Stock-based compensation to employees are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately without any future service condition. For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The Company also grants employees and non-employees restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). The fair value of the RSAs is determined using the fair value of the common shares on the date of the grant. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Financial instruments
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values.
Cash and cash equivalents- 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.
Bank indebtedness - 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.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of August 31, 2025 and 2024 follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying | Fair | Carrying | Fair | |
| Amount | Value | Amount | Value | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $226,213 | $226,213 | $4,853,367 | $4,853,367 |
| Accounts receivable, net of allowance | 3,863,678 | 3,863,678 | 3,668,815 | 3,668,815 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 2,593,785 | 2,593,785 | 2,639,370 | 2,639,370 |
| Bank Indebtedness | 2,101,835 | 2,101,835 | — | — |
The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2025 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, 2025 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
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 was 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
The Company has evaluated all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and determined that it does not believe that any, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
3. INVENTORY
A summary of inventory as of August 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Pet, fencing and other products | $15,132,574 | $12,407,495 |
| Industrial wood products | 753,015 | 749,748 |
| Agricultural seed products | — | — |
| Inventory net | $15,885,589 | $13,157,243 |
During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company deducted $50,111 (fiscal 2024 - $407,348) from its inventory reserves, and added $700,111 (2024 - $459,464) to its inventory allowance for a net increase of $650,000 (2024 - $52,116) during the year.
JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
A summary of property, plant, and equipment as of August 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Office equipment | $684,473 | $668,260 |
| Warehouse equipment | 1,382,818 | 1,285,278 |
| Buildings | 5,212,847 | 5,211,588 |
| Land | 158,500 | 158,500 |
| 7,438,638 | 7,323,626 | |
| Accumulated depreciation | (3,795,524) | (3,473,826) |
| Net book value | $3,643,114 | $3,849,800 |
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.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
| a) | In October 2025, we experienced a cybersecurity incident. We learned that a threat actor had gained unauthorized access to portions of the Company’s information technology (“IT”) environment. We immediately activated our cyber incident response process to contain the intrusion, assess and investigate the incident and implement remedial measures, including retaining external cybersecurity experts and notifying law enforcement, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Based on the investigation to date, we believe the cybersecurity incident consisted of unauthorized access and deployment of encryption and monitoring software by a third party to a portion of the Company’s internal corporate IT systems. The incident caused disruptions and limitation of access to portions of our business applications. We believe the unauthorized activity was contained and our IT systems and individual computer devices were brought back online. As a result of the intrusion, we have taken additional cybersecurity measures. We believe that the costs associated with these activities will not be material and that the costs related to the services provided by experts and the disruption to our business will be largely covered by the Company’s insurance policies. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance carriers will accept liability for these costs, in which these additional costs may have a material adverse effect on our future financial performance. |
| b) | The Company has listed for sale its innovation lab property in North Plains, Oregon at a listing price of $795,000. |
