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 a nd 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 four reportable segments, 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

•

Lawn, garden, pet and other

•

Seed processing and sales

•

Industrial tools and clamps

The industrial wood products segment reflects the business conducted by Greenwood Products, Inc. (Greenwood), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (JCLC).  Greenwood is a processor and distributor of industrial wood products.  A major product category is treated plywood that is sold to boat manufacturers and the transportation industry.

The lawn, garden, pet and other segment reflects the business of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation, which is a wholesaler of wood products and a manufacturer and distributor of specialty metal products. Wood products include fencing and landscape timbers, while metal products include dog kennels, proprietary gate support systems, perimeter fencing, and greenhouses.  JCLC uses contract manufacturers to make the specialty metal products.  Some of the products that JCLC 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 and other retailers.  

The seed processing and sales segment reflects the business of Jewett-Cameron Seed Company (JCSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of JCLC.  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.

The industrial tools and clamps segment reflects the business of MSI-PRO (MSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of JCLC.  MSI imports and distributes products including pneumatic air tools, industrial clamps, and saw blades.  These products are primarily sold to retailers that in turn sell to contractors and end users.  

Total Company sales were approximately $41.6 million and $42.1 million during fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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.  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.  JCLC has the following wholly owned subsidiaries.  MSI-PRO Co. (“MSI”), incorporated in April 1996, Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, (“JCSC”), incorporated in October 2000, and Greenwood Products, Inc. (“Greenwood”), incorporated in February 2002.  Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries have no assets in Canada.

Corporate Development

Incorporated in 1953, JCLC 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 remain active in the Company.  These individuals are Donald Boone, the President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Director; and Michael Nasser, Corporate Secretary.

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

In early 1986, prior to JCLC being acquired by the Company, JCLC 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 JCLC 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 JCLC acquiring the business and certain assets of Greenwood Forest Products Inc.  Greenwood is involved in the processing and distribution of specialty wood products.

Narrative Description of Business

The Company’s operations are classified into four segments.  Sales, income from operations, assets, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, and interest expense by segment are shown in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Industrial Wood Products - Greenwood  

Greenwood operated out of leased office space located in a suburb of Portland, Oregon until September 30, 2009. At that time the lease on the office space was terminated and Greenwood co-located its operations in the building utilized by JCLC and MSI.  This business involves the wholesale distribution of a variety of specialty wood products.  A major product category is treated plywood that is sold to boat manufacturers and the transportation industry.  

During fiscal 2010 and 2009, sales to boat manufacturers represented approximately 11% and 24% respectively of total segment sales.  Likewise, Greenwood’s total sales for fiscal 2010 and 2009 were 22% and 27% respectively of total Company sales.

The markets in which Greenwood competes are sensitive to downturns in the U.S economy.  

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.  There is also some inventory in transit.  Inventory is generally not purchased on a speculative basis in anticipation of price changes.

Greenwood has no significant backlog of orders.  

Lawn, Garden, Pet and Other - JCLC

JCLC operates out of a 5.6 acre owned facility located in North Plains, Oregon that includes an office, a warehouse, a paved yard, and a remanufacturing plant.  This business is a wholesaler of wood products and a manufacturer and distributor of specialty metal products.  Wood products include fencing and landscape timbers, while metal products include dog kennels, proprietary gate support systems, perimeter fencing, and greenhouses.  JCLC uses contract manufacturers to make the specialty metal products.  Some of the products that JCLC 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 and 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.  

JCLC 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.

The wood products that JCLC distributes are not unique and are available from multiple suppliers.  However, the metal products that JCLC manufactures and distributes may be somewhat differentiated from similar products available from other suppliers.

JCLC owns the patents and manufacturing rights connected with the Adjust-A-Gate products, which are the gate support systems for wood, vinyl, and composite fences.  Management believes the ownership of these patents results in an important competitive advantage for these products.  JCLC 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 both wood and metal products for shipments to take place three to four months in the future.

5

Seed Processing and Sales - JCSC

JCSC operates out of an approximately 13 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.  Even though the harvest and processing cycle is seasonal, sales of JCSC tend to be fairly uniform throughout the year.  However, profitability around the month of August may be unusually high based on a seasonal surge in cleaning sales, which are much more profitable sales than product sales.

JCSC has no backlog of sales orders.

Industrial Tools and Clamps - MSI

This business operates from the same owned facilities as JCLC.  MSI imports and distributes products including pneumatic air tools, industrial clamps, and saw blades.  These products are primarily sold to retailers that in turn sell to contractors and end users.  Sales of these products tend to be relatively uniform throughout the year.  

MSI’s product line was expanded in the Spring of 2007 to include saw blades, digital calipers, and laser guides.  These new products carry the Avenger Products brand label.

Customer Concentration

The top ten customers were responsible for 58% and 60% of total Company sales for the years ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 respectively.  Also, the Company’s single largest customer was responsible for 18% and 14% of total Company sales for the years ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 respectively.

Employees

As of August 31, 2010, the Company had 46 full-time employees.  By segment these employees were located as follows: Greenwood 8, JCLC 23, JCSC 10, and MSI 5.  None of these employees are represented by unions at the Company.  Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. has no direct employees, and the officers of the Company are employed by JCLC.

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.  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.

6

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.

The Company’s common shares currently trade within the NASDAQ Capital Market in the United States and on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada.  The average daily trading volume of our common stock was 1,549 shares on NASDAQ for the year ended August 31, 2010 and significantly less in Canada.  With this limited trading volume, investors could find it difficult to purchase or sell our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

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, 2010 our top ten customers represented 58% of our total sales, and our single largest customer was responsible for 18% 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 in the U.S. and Canada, and are primarily in the marine and retail home improvement 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.

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 $5 million of which $340,000 is dedicated to standby letters of credit to support international transactions, and $4,660,000 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.

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, 2010.  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.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company’s executive offices are located at 32775 NW Hillcrest Street, North Plains, OR 97133.  The 5.6 acre facility, which is owned, consists of 40,000 square feet of covered space (6,000 office, 10,000 manufacturing, and 24,000 warehouse), a little over three acres of paved yard space, and was completed in October 1995.  The facility provides office space for all of the Company’s executive offices and is used as a distribution center to service the Company’s customer base for JCLC, Greenwood and MSI.  

The property associated with JCSC, which is owned, consists of a little over 13 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 seed testing lab located at 31895 NW Hillcrest Street, North Plains, OR 97133. The facility is 2,000 square feet and provides testing facilities for JCSC.  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.

During September 2009, Greenwood functioned out of an approximately 4,000 square foot leased office space located at 5885 SW Meadows Road, Lake Oswego, OR 97035.  The lease payment was $7,500 per month, and upon expiration of the lease on September 30, 2009, Greenwood co-located its operations in the building utilized by JCLC and MSI.

We believe that our facilities are currently adequate for our requirements, and that our current equipment is in good condition and is suitable for the operations involved.  

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

One of our subsidiaries was a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in Portland, Oregon, entitled, Greenwood Products, Inc. et al v. Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. et al., Case No. 05-02553 (Multnomah County Circuit Court).  

During fiscal 2002 the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire inventory over a 15 month period with an initial estimated value of $7,000,000 from Greenwood Forest Products, Inc.  During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company completed the final phase of the inventory acquisition.  As partial consideration for the purchase of the inventory the Company issued two promissory notes, based on its understanding of the value of the inventory purchased.  The Company believes it overpaid the obligation by approximately $820,000.  The holder counterclaimed for approximately $2,400,000. Management is of the opinion that the counterclaim is of no merit and believes that the Company will be successful in its claim.  However, in the event that resolution of the dispute results in a change to the promissory notes, any gain or loss will be recognized in the period that the final determination of the amount is made. Any potential charge is not de terminable at this time.

Litigation was completed on March 5, 2007 with the court’s general judgment and money award.  The net effect was money judgment in favor of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. for $242,604 and an award of contested intellectual property rights to the Company.  The Company has accrued reserves to cover the money judgment related to this dispute.  

Both parties have filed appeals for review of the court’s opinion.

The Company does not know of any other material, active or pending legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any other material proceeding or pending litigation.  The Company knows of no other active or pending proceedings against anyone that might materially adversely affect an interest of the Company.

The Company's Board of Director's authorized a share repurchase plan (The "Plan") to purchase for cancellation up to 425,000 common shares through the facilities of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The share repurchase program was approved by the Company's Board of Directors as part of its ongoing consideration of alternative ways to leverage the Company’s strong cash position. The Plan commenced on June 1, 2010 and terminated on August 17, 2010.

Under the Plan, the price paid for any shares was the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase up to a maximum of US$7.00 per share.  The share repurchase plan was effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which contains restrictions on the number of shares that may be purchased on a single day, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, based on the average daily trading volumes ("ADTV") of Jewett-Cameron's shares on NASDAQ.  Purchases were 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)(ii) to mean 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. Other than transactions that may involve the Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, no shares were to be knowingly purchased from Jewett-Cameron insiders or their affiliates.

A total of 79,040 common shares were repurchased under the Plan during the 4th quarter of fiscal 2010. Those shares were subsequently cancelled, which reduced the common shares issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2010 to 2,311,937. The average price per share paid was $6.95, and the total cost was $549,151.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009

Sales totaled $41,572,336 in fiscal 2010 compared to sales of $42,130,097 in fiscal 2009, which was a decrease of $557,761, or 1%.  The largest decrease in sales occurred at Greenwood due to continued weak demand from boat manufactures.

Gross margin for 2010 was 21.8% compared to 21.1% in fiscal 2009.  The margin improvement primarily reflects the fact that specialty metal products, which are manufactured and sold by JCLC, have a higher gross margin than the other products that the Company sells. In 2009, metal product sales were a higher percentage of total sales than in the prior year.  These metal products represented approximately 47% of total Company sales in 2010 compared with about 41% in the prior year.

Operating expenses decreased by $429,486 from $6,242,954 in fiscal 2009 to $5,813,468 in 2010.  The decline was primarily due to effective cost controls.  Wages and Employee Benefits fell to $3,386,353 from $3,743,847, and Depreciation and Amortization declined to $264,303 from $316,964.  Selling, General and Administrative expenses were relatively unchanged. Interest expense decreased from $43,363 in 2009 to $16,231 in 2010 due to a lower level of borrowing.

The effective income tax rate for 2010 was 39.1% compared with a rate of 39.7% in 2009.  The Company calculates income tax expense based on combined federal and state rates that are currently in effect, and the rate in 2010 is close to the statutory rate.  

Net income for 2010 was $1,982,814 or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $1,582,477, or $0.66 per diluted share, in 2009.

Industrial Wood Products - Greenwood

Sales at Greenwood in fiscal 2010 were $9,037,087 compared to sales of $11,484,094 in fiscal 2009, which was a decrease of $2,447,007, or 21%.  The year over year decline was largely due to continued weak demand from the boat manufacturing industry. Sales of plywood to boat manufacturers represented approximately 11% and 24% of Greenwood’s total sales during 2010 and 2009 respectively, and demand from these customers has been severely affected by weak economic conditions.  Greenwood had an operating loss of ($534,798) in 2010 compared to a loss of ($368,098) in 2009.  The larger operating loss reflects the decrease in sales. Management has been conducting operating expense control at Greenwood, but the current depressed economic conditions, particularly in the boating industry, continues to be a challenge for Greenwood.  

12

Lawn, Garden, Pet and Other - JCLC

Sales at JCLC were $25,468,133 in fiscal 2010, which was an increase of $708,747, or 3%, compared to sales of $24,759,386 in 2009. The increase was primarily due to improved sales in the Company's newer metal products.  The following table shows a breakdown between these two product categories in this segment.

Operating income at JCLC for 2010 was $4,072,649 compared to income of $3,012,836 in 2009. Although sales in the segment increased by 3%, operating income increased by 35% due to effective cost controls.

Seed Processing and Sales - JCSC

Sales at JCSC were $4,335,392 in fiscal 2010 compared to sales of $4,376,530 in 2009. This represents a decrease of $41,138. Decreased demand for grass seed from new home construction and the golf course industry in North America, combined with price and alternative source changes in the livestock feed industry contributed to the segment's flat sales. Operating loss at JCSC was ($316,513) compared to operating income of $99,972 in 2009. The fiscal 2010 results were negatively affected by a one-time $463,498 inventory write-down due to the significant decrease in market value which was recorded in November 2009.

Industrial Tools and Clamps - MSI

Sales at MSI were $2,731,725 in fiscal 2010 compared to sales of $1,510,087 for 2009, which was an increase of $1,221,638 or 81%.  Operating income at MSI was $129,640 compared to operating income of $42,399 in 2009, which was an increase of $87,241 or 206%.  The higher operating income was in line with the higher level of sales for the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2010

As of August 31, 2010 the Company had working capital of $17,336,242 compared to working capital of $15,816,890 as of August 31, 2009, which represented an increase of $1,519,352.  The largest changes affecting working capital were an increase in cash of $1,881,743 which was primarily based on higher net income, and higher accounts receivable, which were slightly offset by lower inventory, prepaid expenses and prepaid income taxes. Accounts receivable increased by $270,198, while Inventory decreased by $689,029 and included a one-time $463,498 inventory write-down at JCSC. Current Liabilities decreased to $1,612,164 as of August 31, 2010 from $1,816,522 as of August 31, 2009. Accounts Payable decreased by $534,397 and Accrued Liabilities rose by $321,906.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities or current ratio as of August 31, 2010 was 11.8 reflecting a very high degree of liquidity.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 the accounts receivable collection period or DSO was 34.0 days compared to 31.2 days for the year ended August 31, 2009.  Inventory turnover for the year ended August 31, 2010 was 74.2 days compared to 76.5 days for the year ended August 31, 2009.  

Based on the Company’s current working capital position, its policy of retaining earnings, and the line of credit available, the Company has adequate working capital to meet its needs for the coming fiscal year.

13

Short-term and Long-term Debt

External sources of liquidity include a line of credit from U.S. Bank of $5,000,000 of which $340,000 is presently dedicated to standby letters of credit to support international transactions.  At August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, the company had no borrowing balance leaving $4,660,000 available.  Borrowing under the line of credit is secured by an assignment of accounts receivable and inventory.  Prior to January 31, 2008 interest was calculated at either prime or the one month LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points. However, starting on January 31, 2008 the borrowing mechanism was simplified, and the interest rate is calculated solely on the one month LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points.  As of August 31, 2010 the one month LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points was 2.20% (0.30% + 1.90%). The line of credit has certain financial covenants.  The Company is in compliance with these covenants.

During 2009, the Company repaid in full the remaining balance on a promissory note payable to U.S. Bank due on June 15, 2010. As of August 31, 2008, the note payable had a balance of $2,018,811.  This loan was secured by the property at the Company’s headquarters location in North Plains, Oregon.  The interest rate on this loan was 6.52%, and monthly payments including principal and interest was $16,601. The Company also had a note payable of $300,000 bearing interest of 5% per year, which was part of the consideration connected with the purchase of patents and manufacturing rights for fence gate support systems.  This note plus accrued interest was due on January 15, 2009, and was repaid in full in fiscal 2009.

OTHER MATTERS

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company currently has no contractual obligations or commercial commitments.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation had a material impact during fiscal 2010 or 2009.  Typically the company passes price increases on to the customer.

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, 2010, the Company did not adopt any new accounting policy 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

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820. ASU No. 2010-06 requires new disclosures for significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and separate disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of activity for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also clarifies the existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. ASU No. 2010-06 will only impact disclosures and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity for Level&n bsp;3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

14

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has amended ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The amendments to ASC 860 are effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The amendments must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. While we are still analyzing the effects of the adoption of the amendments, we do not believe that the adoption will have a material ef fect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, 2010, 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 equivalents 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 Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and Subsidiaries management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating t he overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Generally accepted accounting principles

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America.  

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, JCLC, MSI, JCSC, and Greenwood, all of which are incorporated under the laws of Oregon, U.S.A.

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

Estimates

The preparation of 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 cash and cash equivalents to be highly liquid in nature.  At August 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $8,710,314, compared to $6,828,571 at August 31, 2009.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

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 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	5-7 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.  The most significant intangible assets are two patents related to our gate support systems.  Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining lives of 90 months and 102 months, respectively, and 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 based only in the United States.  Any amounts expressed in Canadian dollars are indicated as such.

The Company does not have non-monetary or monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.  Any income statement 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.

The earnings per share data for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	2010	2009
Net income	$  1,982,814	$ 1,582,477
Basic weighted average number of        common shares outstanding	2,389,894	2,390,977
Effect of dilutive securities
Stock options	-	-
Diluted weighted average number       of common shares outstanding	2,389,894	2,390,977

Comprehensive income

The Company has no items of other comprehensive income in any period 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.

No options were granted during the year ended August 31, 2010, and there were no options outstanding on August 31, 2010.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

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 a money market fund that invests almost exclusively in U.S. Treasury Bills.

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

Notes receivable - the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the amount.

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

Promissory note and note payable - the fair value of the promissory note and note payable is determined by discounting the future contractual cash flows under current financing arrangements at discount rates which represent borrowing rates presently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturity.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of August 31, 2010 and 2009 follows:

	2010		2009
	Carrying	Fair	Carrying	Fair
	Amount	Value	Amount	Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$8,710,314	$8,710,314	$6,828,571	$6,828,571
Accounts receivable	3,874,114	3,874,114	3,603,916	3,603,916
Note receivable	41,500	41,500	41,500	41,500
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	1,604,031	1,604,031	1,816,522	1,816,522

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2010, 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, 2010		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	8,710,314	$	8,710,314	$	—	$	—

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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Income taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

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

Shipping 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 goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as revenue in the consolidated statement of operations.

.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of lumber, building supply products, industrial wood and other specialty products and tools, when the products are shipped, title passes, and the ultimate collection is reasonably assured.  Revenue from the Company's seed operations is generated 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 and products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the classifications used in the current period.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820. ASU No. 2010-06 requires new disclosures for significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and separate disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of activity for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also clarifies the existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. ASU No. 2010-06 will only impact disclosures and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of a ctivity for Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has amended ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The amendments to ASC 860 are effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The amendments must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. While we are still analyzing the effects of the adoption of the amendments, we do not believe that the adoption will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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.

BANK INDEBTEDNESS

There was no bank indebtedness under the Company’s line of credit as of August 31, 2010 or August 31, 2009.

Bank indebtedness, when it exists, is secured by an assignment of accounts receivable and inventory.  Prior to January 31, 2008 interest was calculated at either prime or the one month LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points. However, starting on January 31, 2008 the borrowing mechanism was simplified, and the interest rate is calculated solely on the one month LIBOR rate plus 190 basis points.

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.

9.

CANCELLATION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Treasury stock may be kept based on an acceptable inventory method such as average cost basis.  Upon disposition of 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 paid-in-capital in excess of stated value.

During the 4th quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company re-purchased and cancelled a total of 79,040 shares of its common stock under a 10b5-1 share re-purchase plan.  The total cost was $549,151 at an average share price of $6.95 per share.  The premium paid to acquire these shares over their per share book value in the amount of $474,853 was recorded as a decrease to retained earnings.

10.

STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has a stock option program under which stock options to purchase securities from the Company can be granted to directors and employees of the Company on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities of Canada, notably the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), 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 may 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 vest at the discretion of the board of directors.

The Company had no stock options outstanding as of the years ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (“ESOP”)

The Company sponsors an ESOP that covers all U.S. employees who are employed by the Company on August 31 of each year and who have at least one thousand hours with the Company in the twelve months preceding that date.  The ESOP grants to participants in the plan certain ownership rights in, but not possession of, or voting control of, the common stock of the Company held by the Trustee of the Plan.  Shares of common stock are allocated annually to participants in the ESOP pursuant to a prescribed formula. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 “Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”.  The Company records compensation expense based on the market price of the Company shares when they are allocated.  Any dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.  ESOP compensation expense was $146,677 and $164,118 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in wages and employee benefits.  The ESOP shares as of August 31 were as follows:

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)

One of our subsidiaries was a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in Portland, Oregon, entitled, Greenwood Products, Inc. et al v. Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. et al., Case No. 05-02553 (Multnomah County Circuit Court).  

During fiscal 2002 the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire inventory over a 15 month period with an initial estimated value of $7,000,000 from Greenwood Forest Products, Inc.  During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company completed the final phase of the inventory acquisition.  As partial consideration for the purchase of the inventory the Company issued two promissory notes, based on its understanding of the value of the inventory purchased.  The Company believes it overpaid the obligation by approximately $820,000.  The holder counterclaimed for approximately $2,400,000. Management is of the opinion that the counterclaim is of no merit and believes that the Company will be successful in its claim.  However, in the event that resolution of the dispute results in a change to the promissory notes, any gain or loss will be recognized in the period that the final determination of the amount is made. Any poten tial charge is not determinable at this time.

Litigation was completed on March 5, 2007 with the court’s general judgment and money award.  The net effect was money judgment in favor of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. for $242,604.  The Company has accrued reserves to cover the money judgment related to this dispute.  

Both parties have filed appeals for review of the court’s opinion.

CONCENTRATIONS

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with 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, 2010, three customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable for a combined total of 48%. At August 31, 2009 three customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable at 41%. 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.

1)  

Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

4)

Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that Ted Sharp is the “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.  Mr. Sharp is independent as that term is used in Section 240.14a-101 under the Exchange Act and as defined under NASDAQ Rule 4200 9a) (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.

39

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, including audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services.  The procedure requires that all proposed engagements of Davidson & Company, LLP 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 Ted Sharp, Jeff Wade, and Ralph Lodewick.  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 three times during Fiscal 2008, five times in Fiscal 2009, and three times in Fiscal 2010.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

All of the officers and directors filed the required paperwork during Fiscal 2010.

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.

The Company may grant stock options to directors, executive officers and employees.  The Company established an ESOP that covers all eligible employees. Also, the Company has a 401(k) Plan.  In 2009, the Company contributed 3% of the first $100,000 of eligible compensation to the 401(k) plan, and in 2010, the 401(k) plan was amended to allow for a non-elective discretionary contribution based on the first $60,000 of eligible compensation.

Other than participation in the Company’s stock option plan, ESOP, and 401(k), no funds were set aside or accrued during fiscal 2010 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 ESOP 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 received bonuses, which were determined by the Chief Executive Officer.

Stock Options

The Company may grant stock options to purchase securities to directors and employees on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities in Canada, notably the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Ontario Securities Commission and British Columbia Securities Commission.  The Company has no formal written stock option plan.

41

Under our stock option program, stock options for up to 10% of the number of our issued and outstanding common shares may be granted from time to time, provided that stock options in favor of any one individual may not exceed 5% of our 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.

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, and the maximum term of each stock option may not exceed ten years and are determined in accordance with Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) guidelines.

During Fiscal 2007 stock options to purchase a total of 37,500 shares were granted to independent directors with a weighted average exercise price of $7.04.  However, options to purchase 15,000 shares with an exercise price of $7.03 were subsequently forfeited based on one director resigning and one director’s term of office ending.  Also, options to purchase 7,500 shares were exercised at $7.03.

During Fiscal 2008 the stock options to purchase 15,000 shares that were outstanding at the beginning of the year were forfeited based on one director’s term of office ending and another director not exercising his options prior to expiration.  No options were granted during Fiscal 2009 or Fiscal 2010, and as of August 31, 2010 there were no options outstanding.

401(k) Plan

The Company has a 401(k) Plan.  In 2009, the Company contributed 3% of the first $100,000 of eligible compensation to the 401(k) plan.  In 2010, the 401(k) plan was amended to allow for a non-elective discretionary contribution based on the first $60,000 of eligible compensation.  For the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 the 401(k) compensation expense was $75,366 and $64,105, respectively.  The contributions for Donald Boone were $270 and $1,080 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  The contributions for Michael Nasser were $0 and $3,000 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  The contributions for Murray Smith were $0 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.  There are no un-funded liabilities.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The Company sponsors an ESOP that covers all U.S. employees who are employed by the Company on August 31st of each year and who have at least one thousand hours with the company in the twelve months preceding that date. The ESOP grants to participants in the plan certain ownership rights in, but not possession of, the common stock of the Company held by the Trustee of the Plan.  Shares of common stock are allocated annually to participants in the ESOP pursuant to a prescribed formula.  The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 (Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans).  The Company records compensation expense based on the market price of the shares acquired on the open market or on the price of shares purchased from the Company.  ESOP compensation expense was $146,677 and $164,118 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  The ESOP shares allocated as of August 31, 2010 and 2009 were 0 and 0 respectively.  The contributions for Donald Boone were $2,571 and $2,520 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  The contributions for Michael Nasser were $7,141 and $7,000 for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  The contribution for Murray Smith was $6,213 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.  There are no un-funded liabilities.

Starting for the first time in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 the compensation expense associated with the ESOP has been invested on behalf of the plan participants in the Vanguard Star Fund, which is a low cost, broadly diversified mutual fund that owns both stocks and bonds.  This move by the Company is designed to provide plan participants with some degree of diversification in their ownership stake in the ESOP.

Long-Term Incentive Plan / Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan

During fiscal 2010 the Company had no Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and no LTIP awards were made.  Also, during Fiscal 2010 the Company had no Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan.

42

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Company has no compensation committee, and the independent members of the board of directors perform equivalent functions.  

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.

Employment Contracts

Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

--- No Disclosure Necessary ---

Director Compensation

The Company has no formal plan for compensating its directors for their service in their capacity as directors.  Directors are 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 2010 the following cash payments were paid to directors to compensate them for board meetings attended:  Ted Sharp $2,500, Jeff Wade $1,200 and Ralph Lodewick $2,500.

Executive Officer Compensation

The Company has no compensation committee and a majority of the board of directors performs equivalent functions.

As in prior years all judgments regarding executive compensation for fiscal 2010 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.

Decisions concerning 2010 compensation considered each executive officer’s level of responsibility and performance.  As noted above, specific decisions involving 2010 executive officer compensation were ultimately based on a judgment about the individual executive officer’s performance and contribution towards enhancing long-term shareholder value.

The board of director’s basis for Donald Boone’s compensation was set many years ago, and this compensation has remained unchanged at his request.  This amount of compensation is substantially less than what would ordinarily be considered as normal compensation for being Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The Company is a publicly owned corporation.  It is not controlled directly or indirectly by another corporation or any foreign government.
