SUMMARY INFORMATION

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

Our Company

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

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

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

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

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Greenwood Products, Inc. was incorporated in Oregon, USA in February 2002. We formed this company after Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation acquired the business and some of the assets of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc., of Portland, Oregon. The assets acquired consisted of nearly $7,000,000 of inventory (at year end), which was paid by us in eight installments over a two year period beginning in February 2002 for a price equal to the seller’s cost plus 2%. We also purchased associated furnishings, equipment and supplies for $260,000. We also purchased a license to use all of the intangible assets of Greenwood Products, Inc. for five years and we have an option to purchase these assets for a nominal amount at the end of the term. We paid for this business and the assets by using working capital and through issuances of notes payable in September 2004.  Greenwood Products, Inc. is continuing the business of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. We process and distribute industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers, through Greenwood Products, Inc.

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

RISK FACTORS

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

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

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

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

If we raise additional funds by selling more of our stock, the new stock may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our existing stock. 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. This condition is often referred to as “dilution”.

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

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

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

Our manufacturing operation, which consists of cutting fencing material to specific sizes and shapes, depends upon obtaining adequate supplies of lumber on a timely basis.  If these supplies of lumber were not received on a timely basis, we could experience lower profit margins and possibly lose sales of these products.                                  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The limited daily trading volume of our common stock could make it difficult for investors to purchase additional shares or to sell their shares in the open market.

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

There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering and, consequently, our outstanding long-term indebtedness of $6,200,000 may not be reduced by the maximum amount of proceeds we could receive from this offering.

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

You may be without any ability to sue us for violating U.S. Securities Laws and even if you can, you probably will not recover any money

We are a Canadian company. Some of our directors and officers live outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are or may be located outside the United States. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to serve us or our directors with a lawsuit in the United States. You probably cannot recover any money  if you get a judgment, including judgments based on  violations of U.S. federal securities laws. Further, you cannot sue us or our non-U.S. Directors in Canada for violation of U.S. federal securities laws since those laws  do not have force of law in Canada.  

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements included in this Prospectus regarding future financial performance and results and the other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “except,” “plan,”  "expect," "project," "estimate," "predict," "anticipate," "believes", "intends", and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such statements are based upon our current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future performance. These statements include, without limitation, statements about our market opportunity, our growth strategy, competition, expected activities and future acquisitions and investments and the adequacy of our available cash resources. These statements may be found in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Investors are cautioned that matters subject to forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including economic, regulatory, competitive and other factors that may affect our business. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 500,000 shares of our common stock in this offering, based upon an assumed offering price of $7.00 per share, will be $3,480,000.  We estimate that our costs associated with this offering will be $20,000, which includes legal, accounting and printing expenses.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to reduce our level of debt.  Our level of bank debt was $6,200,000 at  November 1, 2004. The actual interest rate on this debt, as of November 1, 2004, is 4.75% and it floats at prime. This is a renewable line of credit with U.S. Bank and the loan is up for renewal on January 31, 2005.

DIVIDEND POLICY

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

 DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

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

 DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma book value of our common stock immediately after completing this offering.  The historical net tangible book value of our common stock as of May 31, 2004 was $8,267,920 or $5.64 per share. (Post-split)    The historical net tangible book value per share of our common stock is the difference between our net tangible assets and our liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of May 31, 2004 was approximately $8,478,990 or approximately $5.40 per share, after giving effect to the exercise of share purchase options to purchase an aggregate of 105,000 shares of common stock by cash payment of $211,050. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total net tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the pro forma number of shares of common stock outstanding before giving effect to the sale of the shares of our common stock in this offering.

Dilution if 100% of the Offering is sold.

After giving effect to the sale of the 500,000 shares of common stock in this offering, at an assumed public offering price of $7.00 per share, less the estimated expenses of the offering, our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of May 31, 2004 would have been $5.98 if none of the stock options had been exercised and $5.77 if all of the stock options had been exercised. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share fully diluted of $0.37 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.23 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in the offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates the per share dilution option:

Assumed public offering price		$7.00
Net tangible book value per share	$5.77
Decrease per share attributable to assumed exercise of share purchase options	$0.21
Pro forma net tangible book value per share before this offering	$5.40
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering	$0.37
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering		$5.77

Dilution if 50% of the Offering is sold.

After giving effect to the sale of the 250,000 shares of common stock in this offering, at an assumed public offering price of $7.00 per share, less the estimated expenses of the offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of May 31, 2004 would have been $5.83 if none of the stock options had been exercised and $5.61 if all of the stock options had been exercised. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share fully diluted of $0.21 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.39 per share (fully diluted) to new investors purchasing our common stock in the offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates the per share dilution if 50% of the offering is sold:

Net tangible book value per share	$5.61
Decrease per share attributable to assumed exercise of share purchase options	$0.22

This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share fully diluted of $0.03 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.57 per share (fully diluted) to new investors purchasing our common stock in the offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates the per share dilution if 10% of the offering is sold:

Any broker, dealer or sales agent that participates in the distribution of shares may be deemed to be an underwriter, and any profits on the sale of the shares by any such broker, dealer or sales agent and any commissions and fees received by any such broker, dealer or sales agents may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

 The shares may not be offered or sold in certain jurisdictions unless they are registered or otherwise comply with the applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions by exemption, qualification or otherwise. We intend to sell the shares only in the states in which this offering has been qualified or an exemption from the registration requirements is available, and purchases of shares may be made only in those states. We will not qualify our offering  in any states but Washington and Oregon. To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, as applicable, the shares may be required to be offered and sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. If such registered or licensed brokers or dealers are engaged, the total commission and fees paid to such brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of shares will not exceed 10% of the selling price of the shares.

In connection with their selling efforts in the offering, our officers and directors will not register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but rather will rely upon the "safe harbor" provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer's securities. The conditions to obtaining this exemption include the following:

• None of the selling persons are subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act, at the time of participation;

• None of the selling persons are compensated in connection with his or her participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

• None of the selling persons are, at the time of participation, an associated person of a broker or dealer, and

• All of the selling persons meet the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that they (A) primarily perform or are intending primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities, and (B) are not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and (C) do not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on this rule.

In addition, in connection with this offering, licensed broker-dealers who are hired may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on Nasdaq immediately prior to the commencement of the offering in accordance with Regulation M. Passive market making presently consists of displaying bids on Nasdaq limited by the bid prices of market makers not connected with such offering and purchases limited by such prices and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are limited in amount to 30% of the passive market maker's average daily trading volume in our common stock during the period of the two full consecutive calendar months prior to the determination of the offering price in connection with a sale pursuant to this prospectus and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.  Passive market making may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. If a licensed broker-dealer commences passive market making transactions, the broker-dealer may discontinue them at any time.

 We have not established a minimum amount of proceeds that we must receive in the offering before any proceeds may be accepted. We cannot assure you that all or any of the shares offered under this prospectus will be sold. No one has committed to purchase any of the shares offered. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify this offer and to accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected promptly. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Any accepted subscriptions will be made on a rolling basis. Once accepted, the funds will be deposited into an account maintained by us and considered our general assets. Subscription funds will not be placed into escrow, trust or any other similar arrangement. There are no investor protections for the return of subscription funds once accepted. Certificates for shares purchased will be issued and distributed by our transfer agent within 10 business days after a subscription is accepted and "good funds" are received in our account. Certificates will be sent to the address supplied in the investor subscription agreement by certified mail. Subscribers will not be considered shareholders until they are issued stock certificates.

 Our officers, directors, existing stockholders and affiliates may purchase shares in this offering and there is no limit to the number of shares they may purchase.

An agreement to purchase the Common Shares offered hereby (the “Subscription Agreement”) accompanies this Prospectus.  Subject to availability and our right to reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, for any reason, Common Shares may be subscribed for by completing, executing and returning the Subscription Agreement, together with payment for all shares subscribed for, to Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd., P.O. Box 1010, North Plains, Oregon 97133.  Our acceptance of a subscription shall be evidenced solely by the delivery to the subscriber of a written confirmation of sale.  Our receipt of a Subscription Agreement and/or deposit by the Company of payment for the subscribed shares as described below shall constitute acceptance of a subscription.  

Warranties by Subscribers

By signing the Subscription Agreement each investor is representing and warranting to us that he or she has indicated his or her true state of legal residence.

We will reject subscription agreements received, if any, from residents of these states where we are not authorized to sell the Common Shares.  The warranty given by each subscriber indicating the subscriber’s true state of legal residence will assist us in complying with state securities laws.  We might assert our rights under this warranty if a misrepresentation by a subscriber results in us selling shares of stock in a state in which we are not permitted to sell such shares. A subscriber does not waive any rights under the federal securities laws by executing the Subscription Agreement.

Termination of Offering

We can terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all 500,000 Common Shares offered hereby.

 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our common stock is issued in registered form.  Computershare Investor Services, Inc. (located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is our registrar and transfer agent.

We completed a three for two stock split on February 26, 2003.  All references in this document to per share prices and the number of shares refer to post-split data unless otherwise indicated.

Our common shares trade on the NASDAQ Small Capital stock exchange in the United States. Our stock trades under the symbol "JCTCF" and CUSIP# 47733C-20-7.  Our common stock began trading on NASDAQ in April 1996.

Our common shares also trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange that is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, under the trading symbol "JCT".  Our common stock started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in February 1994.

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

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

Upon the completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will not change. Our outstanding shares will increase to 1,965,585 shares of common stock outstanding . Prior to this offering, we had 1,465,858 shares of common stock outstanding held by 30 registered shareholders.

Our authorized capital consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share, all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated. We had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

 Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Our outstanding shares of common stock are and the shares offered by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock, which we may designate, and issue in the future.

PREFERRED STOCK

The board of directors has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series of preferred stock, which may be greater than the rights attached to the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:

· restricting dividends on the common stock,

· diluting the voting power of the common stock,

· impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock, or

· delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.

There are currently no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

There are currently no warrants outstanding.

OPTIONS

We can grant stock options to our directors and employees..

Under the rules of the Ontario Securities Commission we can grant stock options for up to 10% of the number of shares that are outstanding at the time. We cannot; however, give any one person more stock options than 5% of the shares outstanding. The stock option price must be equal to the fair market value of the stock on the day we grant the options. (This value is subject to a 10% discount, which is mandated by the Ontario Securities Commission.)  

Currently there are no shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding warrants, rights or convertible securities.  We do, however, have 105,000 share purchase options outstanding.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

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

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

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

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

Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders

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

Authorized but Unissued Shares

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

Charter Amendments

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

OUR BUSINESS

General Development of Business

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

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

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

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

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

A third wholly-owned subsidiary of Jewett Cameron Lumber Corporation is Greenwood Products, Inc., incorporated in Oregon, USA in February 2002. We formed this company as a subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation after we acquired the business and certain assets of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc., of Portland, Oregon. These assets consisted of nearly $7 million of inventory, some furnishings, equipment and supplies and a license to use all of the intangible assets of the seller for a five-year term along with an option to purchase them for a nominal amount at the end of the term. The initial acquisition price was paid from our working capital and we purchased the inventory utilizing capital provided by our working capital and working capital loans. Greenwood Products, Inc. is continuing the business of Greenwood Forest Products, Inc. This business involves the processing and distribution of industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers.

Narrative Description of Business

The following is a description of our business.

Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation

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

During Fiscal 2003/2002/2001, sales of Greenwood Products, Inc., which is a subsidiary of our subsidiary Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation, in combination with the sales of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation to home improvement centers represented about 92.6%, 92.2% and 87.6% respectively of our total revenue; with export, industrial tools and seed processing and sales representing 7.4%, 7.8% and 12.4% respectively.  The Fiscal 2002 decrease in the percent related to export, industrial tools and seed processing and sales was a result of the increased revenues from the first partial year of operations, which included the Greenwood Products, Inc.

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

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

Our current products in this area are:

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

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

          such as railings and step risers.

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

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

Gates

Arbors

Pine shelving and furring.

Fire retardant dimension lumber and plywood.

Dimension lumber.

Plywood and oriented strand board.

Dowels

Kennels

Greenhouses

Portable storage buildings

Outdoor seating

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

Our distribution center and headquarters office facility in North Plains, Oregon was completed in November 1995.  This complex includes 40,000 square feet under roof of warehouse, office, and manufacturing space on five paved acres. This facility gives us the ability to provide a broad range of products and services to our customer base which is located between Northern California and Alaska.

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

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

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

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

Below is a list of our major customers and the percentage of our total sales from each one of them.

Major Customers     Fiscal Years Ended August 31^st

	2003	2002	2001
Lowes Companies	<5%	<5%	8%
Fred Meyer Inc.	<5%	7%	40%
The Home Depot Inc.	5%	21%	31%
HomeBase Inc.	0%	<5%	3%
U.S. Marine	10%	7%	N/A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jewett-Cameron Seed Company (“JCSC”),

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

Greenwood Products, Inc.

The business of Greenwood Product s , Inc. involves the processing and distribution of industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers.  The value of Greenwood Products (wood components) are that they will not rust, rot, sustain a flame. They also reduce sound and have a high degree of structural strength per pound. Greenwood Products also processes and distributes industrial work and specialty buildings .

MSI-PRO CO.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jewett-Cameron South Pacific Ltd.

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

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

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

We know of no active or pending proceedings against anyone that might materially adversely affect an interest of ours.

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

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

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

The following discussion relates to our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended 8/31/2003, 2002 and 2001 and for the latest interim period ended May 31, 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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

Results of Operations.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003

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

For the third quarter of the current fiscal year, ended May 31, 2004, our sales increased 35% to $20,191,769 compared to $14,998,178 for the same quarter of the previous year.

The principal reasons for the 35% increase in sales were primarily the result of changes, which were instigated during the previous fiscal year. These changes included the introduction of new products in the area of home improvement sales; reorganizations at Jewett Cameron Seed Company; and, higher prices of the products sold through Greenwood Products. The higher prices of the products sold through Greenwood Products is a direct result of higher raw material costs for these items. The new products introduced through Jewett Cameron Lumber Company included dog kennels; outdoor gates; mobile outdoor umbrellas; green houses; and, storage buildings. The reorganization at Jewett Cameron Seed Company consisted of some changes in staff responsibilities and a reduction in line management.  

Sales of home improvement products were $5,007,931 for the third quarter, an increase of slightly over 93% compared to sales of $2,584,607 for the third quarter of last year. Management attributes this increase to the introduction of the new products as described above.

Revenues from the sales and processing of industrial products were $14,079,991 for the third quarter, an increase of 19% compared to revenues of $11,836,029 for the third quarter of last year. Management attributes this increase to higher raw material costs.

Sales of pneumatic tools and industrial clamps were $273,492 for the third quarter compared to $242,389 for the third quarter of last year, an increase of 13%. The Company hired new sales personnel since the last fiscal year in an effort to reverse the declining sales trend in this area, which was occurring at the time. The efforts of the newly hired sales staff continues to result in the stronger sales evidenced during the third quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Sales of processed seeds and grain were $830,355 for the third quarter compared to $335,153 for the third quarter of last year, an increase of slightly over 147%. The sales of processed seeds and grain are accomplished through the activities of Jewett Cameron Seed Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett Cameron Lumber Company.  The increase in sales, which occurred in the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 as compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2003, was due primarily to the reorganization which occurred within the sales organization at Jewett Cameron Seed Company.

Cost of sales accounted for 87% of sales for the third quarter compared to 86% for the third quarter of last year, an increase of 1%.  The slight increase was primarily attributed to lower margins for home improvement products and seed processing.

Operating expenses accounted for 10% of sales for the third quarter compared to 11% for the third quarter of last year, a decrease of 1%.  The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in wages and employee benefits resulting from the reorganization changes described earlier. General and administrative expenses for the Company were $612,253 for the third quarter, which was an increase from $442,211 for the third quarter of the last fiscal year.  The primary reason for the increase of $170,042 was costs related to the higher level of sales for the current quarter.

Income tax expense for the quarter was $269,300 in comparison to $105,101 for the third quarter of last year.  The Company estimates income tax expense for the quarter based on combined federal and state rates that are currently in effect.  

The net income for the quarter was $384,642 which represents a 78% increase over the third quarter of the last fiscal year when net income was $215,723.  The increase in net income was due primarily to higher sales and slightly higher profit margins in the industrial wood products segment.

The diluted net income per share was $0.25 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.14 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2003.

Nine Months Ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003

For the first nine months of the current fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, sales increased 30% to $52,557,506 compared to $40,497,696 for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The principal reasons for the 30% increase in overall sales was primarily the result of the changes which were instigated during the prior fiscal year as described in the discussion relating to the results of operations for the three-month period ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003.  

Sales of home improvement products were $9,902,883 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2004, an increase of slightly over 96% compared to sales of $5,032,048 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2003. As stated earlier, management attributes the increase in the sales of home improvement products to the additions of the new product line as described earlier.

Revenues from the sales and processing of industrial products were $38,050,898 for the first nine months of the current year, an increase of 15% compared to revenues of $33,113,434 for the first nine months of last year. Management attributes this increase to higher raw material costs as described earlier.

Sales of pneumatic tools and industrial clamps were $748,815 for the period as compared to $668,414 for the same period of last year, an increase of about 12%. As was the case for the third quarter of Fiscal 2004 as compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2003, the efforts of the newly hired sales staff resulted in the stronger sales evidenced during this period as compared to the prior like period.

Seed processing services and sales were $3,854,910 for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared to $1,683,800 for the first nine months of the last fiscal year, an increase of 129%.  As stated earlier, the increase in sales, which occurred in the first nine months of the current fiscal year as compared to the first nine months of Fiscal 2003, was due primarily to organizational changes, which were implemented within Jewett-Cameron Seed Company. These changes consisted of the termination of some staff members and some reassignment of duties for the remaining staff.

Cost of sales accounted for 88% of sales for the nine months of the current year compared to 85% for the nine-month period of the last year, an increase of 3%.  The increase was attributed to lower margins associated with the products sold through Jewett Cameron Lumber Company and Jewett Cameron Seed Company.

Operating expenses (including the categories of “general and administrative”, “depreciation and amortization” and “wages and employee benefits”) for the Company were $5,512,282 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2004 as compared to $5,247,664 for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  These expenses accounted for 10% of sales for the nine-month period of the current year compared to 13% for the nine-month period of the last year, a decrease of 3%.  The decrease was due to the Company’s restructuring of some of its staff functions and a reduction in expenses as described below.

Income tax expense for the nine-month period of the current year was $284,000 in comparison to $232,301 for the nine-month period of last year.  The Company estimates income tax expense for each quarter based on combined federal and state rates that are currently in effect.  

Net income for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 was $450,867, which represents a 12% increase over the nine months ended May 31, 2003 when net income was $402,906.  The increase in net income was due primarily to higher sales and slightly higher profit margins with products sold within the Company’s industrial wood products segment..

Diluted earnings per share were $0.30 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2004 compared to $0.27 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2003, an increase of 11%.

Fiscal 2003, ended August 31^st vs. Fiscal 2002

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

We continued to experience a decrease in sales in the area of lumber and building materials which our management believes is due to recessionary conditions in the economy causing customers to scale back their purchases of these discretionary items.  The loss of revenue from these products has been offset by the sales increases in our other business segments; however, we believe that once consumer confidence strengthens, lumber and building material sales will again trend upward. We have also introduced new products for retailers, which, in the past, concentrated on more expensive items.

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

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

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

Fiscal 2003 was the first full year of operations for Greenwood Products Inc. As would be expected with the larger contribution of Greenwood Products, Inc., general and administrative expenses increased by $307,528 during Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. This represented an increase of 21% for Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the 27% increase in sales.

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

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

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

Interest expense increased from ($53,587) reported in Fiscal 2002 to ($346,030) in Fiscal 2003. The primary reason for the increase in interest expense was the higher level of borrowing resulting from the increased level of inventory required to support the elevated sales level of Fiscal 2003.

The increase in operating expenses coupled with the higher level of interest expense resulted in our net income to decrease during Fiscal 2003 as compared to the two prior fiscal years.

Net Income decreased to $294,144 in Fiscal 2003 from $837,024 in Fiscal 2002 and $712,196 in Fiscal 2001. The corresponding basic earnings per share were $0.20 for Fiscal 2003; $0.56 for Fiscal 2002; and, $0.48 in Fiscal 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $0.19 in Fiscal 2003; $0.53 in Fiscal 2002; and, $0.46 in Fiscal 2001.  

Lumber and Building Materials (JCLC)

Sales in lumber and building materials have decreased in all of the last three fiscal years. Sales of these products decreased 52% in Fiscal 2003 as compared to Fiscal 2002.  

Income from operations associated with the sales of lumber and building materials have also decreased over the past three fiscal years. During Fiscal 2003, we experienced a loss from operations in this business segment of ($124,928).  

As mentioned earlier in this document, we have introduced new products for retailers, which, in the past, concentrated on more expensive items. These new products, which are also described earlier in this document, are less costly and consequently, our overall sales to these retailers are on the rise. These new products, which are described earlier in this document, currently feature lower prices in order to introduce these products into the competitive marketplace. Overall sales to retailers are on the rise. Our management believes that sales in the segment of lumber and building materials will increase as a result of the new products.

Industrial Tools

The Fiscal 1997 renaming of the industrial tools under the "MSI-PRO" label has continued to provide a better product identity and a more efficient use of marketing dollars.  Sales increased to $878,966 during Fiscal 2003 from $776,545 during Fiscal 2002. Our management’s re-organization of this business segment, which included the hiring of a new sales manager two years ago, has resulted in the increase in the sales of our industrial tools.  Income from operations during Fiscal 2003 also increased to $103,362 from $89,043 in the prior fiscal year.

Seed Processing and Sales  

Fiscal 2003 was the third year of operations for Jewett-Cameron Seed Company that was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Company in October 2000. At the end of Fiscal 2003, sales from Jewett-Cameron Seed Company were $3,230,151 and income from operations was $46,114. In the prior fiscal year, sales were $2,615,183 and income from operations was $249,526.

Industrial Wood Products (Greenwood Products)

Sales of industrial wood products were $44,195,963 during Fiscal 2003 as compared to $25,561,520 during Fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 represented the first full fiscal year of operations for the sale of these products.  Income from operations from the sale of these products increased to $730,781 for Fiscal 2003 as compared to $625,937 for Fiscal 2002.

Fiscal 2002, ended August 31^st vs. Fiscal 2001

Our sales increased by 97% to $43,625,125 during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 when our sales were $22,112,954. (Our sales for Fiscal 2000 were $24,494,186.) The large increase in our sales during Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 was primarily the contribution of Greenwood Products, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of our wholly owned subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation.  As mentioned earlier in this document, we purchased Greenwood Forest Products earlier in 2002 and sales from it started to come to us immediately. Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation also contributed with an increase in sales of $790,551. This was 43% higher than our sales through Jewett-Cameron Seed Company were in Fiscal 2001.  2002 was the second year that we operated Jewett-Cameron Seed Company.  During 2002 we established a communications program with our agricultural customers and potential agricultural customers.  Through this communications program we kept farmers who could use our facility informed of our capabilities in the areas of seed processing, seed storage and seed consignment. We believe that this communications program greatly helped our sales efforts to this industry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation

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

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

MSI-PRO CO.

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

Jewett-Cameron Seed Company

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

May 31, 2004

As of May 31, 2004 we had working capital of $5,321,458, which represented an decrease of $2,049,097 as compared to the working capital position of $7,370,555 as of August 31, 2003.  The primary reason for the decrease in working capital was an increase in bank indebtedness and accounts payable in the amount of $1,279,354 and the reclassification of Notes Payable of $1,899,292 to Current Liabilities for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2004.  The increase in indebtedness was a result of the higher level of borrowing required to support the higher level of sales. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased by $183,165; accounts receivable, net of allowance increased by $1,340,120 due to the higher level of sales; and, prepaid expenses increased by $27,576. Inventory increased by $122,954 and a note receivable decreased by $15,241.

Accounts receivable and inventory represented 95% of current assets and both continue to turn over at acceptable rates.

External sources of liquidity include a bank line from the United States National Bank of Oregon.  The total line of credit available is $8.0 million of which there was an outstanding balance on May 31, 2004 of $5,586,682 and an outstanding balance as of August 31, 2003 of $6,007,088.

Based on our current working capital position, our policy of retaining earnings, and the line of credit available, we have adequate working capital to meet our needs in the foreseeable future.

We plan to use the proceeds from this offering to retire our long-debt. We do not need to retire our long-term debt to continue to grow at our current rate. By retiring this debt, we will have the option to purchase other businesses in our industry thus allowing us to accelerate our growth rate.

Our current capital needs consist of the costs of the goods that we sell and our operating expenses. These needs have historically been met by our sales. We see no reason that this should change in the future.

We have long term lease commitments in the amount of $14,300 which are due during Fiscal 2005.

The changes, both negative and positive, in these components of the balance sheet all resulted from the addition of the business of Greenwood Products, Inc.

Our daily cash needs are met throughout the year by the bank line-of-credit of JCLC and from the daily operations associated with the normal course of our business.  JCLC has a bank line-of-credit of $8.0 million, which along with the working capital surplus is considered adequate to support our sales level anticipated for the coming year.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." (“SFAS No. 143”).  SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  SFAS  No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our  consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2002,  we  adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," (“SFAS No. 144”) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," (“SFAS No. 121”), it retains many of the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS No. 145").  SFAS No. 145 revises the criteria for classifying the extinguishment of debt as extraordinary and the accounting treatment of certain lease modifications. The adoption of this standard had no impact on  our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January 2003,  we adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," (“SFAS No. 146”) which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restruction)” (“EITF 94-3”). SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing any future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.  SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-

Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS No. 148”).  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

In July 2003, we SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (“SFAS No. 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.  The adoption of this standard had no impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee’s functions are to recommend the appointment of independent accountants; review the arrangements for and scope of the audit by independent accountants; review the independence of the independent accountants; consider the adequacy of the system of internal accounting controls and review any proposed corrective actions; review and monitor our policies relating to ethics and conflicts of interests; and discuss with management and the independent accountants our draft annual and quarterly financial statements and key accounting and/or reporting matters. The Board, 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. With the exception of our President, all other current members of the Audit Committee are “independent” within the meaning of the new regulations from the SEC regarding audit committee membership. We currently have no “audit committee financial expert” who satisfies that definition under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are currently in the process of recruiting an additional director who will be qualified to serve as an “audit committee financial expert,” but we have not yet found a candidate who is qualified and willing to serve in such capacity.

We do not have a compensation committee or other committees of the Board of Directors.

Executive Compensation

We have no formal plan for compensating our Directors for their service in their capacity as Directors.  The Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any Director undertaking any special services on behalf of us other than services ordinarily required of a Director.  No Director received any compensation for his services as a Director, including his committee participation and/or special assignments, other than indicated below.

We grant stock options to our Directors, Executive Officers and employees.

We established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that covers all of our employees.

We have a 401K Plan the terms of which call for us to contribute 3% of the first $100,000 of each of our employee’s income to the Plan. Other than participation in our stock option plan and/or ESOP and/or 401K, no funds were set aside or accrued by us during Fiscal 2003 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for Directors or Executive Officers.

We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by Executive Officers of ours’ in Fiscal 2004 to compensate these 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, where the value of such compensation exceeds US$60,000 per Executive Officer.

No Executive Officer/Director received other compensation in excess of the lesser of US$25,000 or 10% of such officer's cash compensation, and all Executive Officers/Directors as a group did not receive other compensation, which exceeded US$25,000 times the number of persons in the group or 10% of the compensation.

Except for our stock option plan, ESOP and 401K Plan we have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our Directors or Executive Officers.  However, Michael C. Nasser and Donald M. Boone receive a discretionary bonus.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

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

We have no written employment agreements.

The table below shows the amount of money that was paid to our two officers over the last three years.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

We sponsor an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) that covers all of our employees who live in the United States and who are employed by us on August 31^st of each year and who have at least one thousand hours with our company in the twelve months preceding that date. The ESOP grants to participants in the plan certain ownership rights in, but not possession of, our common stock held by the Trustee of the Plan.  Shares of our common stock are allocated annually to participants in the ESOP pursuant to a prescribed formula.  We account for our ESOP in accordance with SOP-93-6 (Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans).  We record compensation expenses equal to the market price of our shares acquired on the open market.  ESOP compensation expense was $143,050, $155,051 and $82,530 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The ESOP shares allocated as of August 31, 2003 were 245,375 and as of August 31, 2002, the ESOP shares allocated were 221,561.

Stock Option Program

Stock Options to purchase securities from us can be granted to Directors and Employees of ours 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.  We have no formal written stock option plan.

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 ("TSE") guidelines.

The names and titles of our Directors and Executive Officers to whom outstanding stock options have been granted and the number of common shares subject to such options are set forth in the following table as of  9/08/04, as well as the number of options granted to Directors and all employees as a group.

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER UNITED STATES FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND OTHER MATTERS

We are organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. In addition, some of its directors and officers reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and its assets are or may be located in jurisdictions outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon its non-U.S. directors and officers or to recover against us, or its non-U.S. directors and officers on judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Further, no claim may be brought in Canada against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation of U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial jurisdiction under Canadian law and do not have force of law in Canada. A Canadian court may, however, impose civil liability on us or our directors and officers if the facts alleged in a complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Canadian law. However, we may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against it arising out of or in connection with violations of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of common shares made hereby by serving CT Corporation System, its U.S. agent, irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

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

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

Material Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holder

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

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

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

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

Dividends on Common Stock

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

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

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

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

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock

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

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

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

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

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

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

Federal Estate Taxes

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

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

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

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

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

(1)  is a United States person,

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

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

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

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

Material Tax Considerations to U.S. Holder

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

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

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

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

JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

AUGUST 31, 2003

1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Jewett”) was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on July 8, 1987.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates out of facilities located in North Plains, Oregon, Portland, Oregon and Ogden, Utah.  The Company operates as a wholesaler of lumber and building materials to home improvement centres located primarily in the Pacific and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States; as a processor and distributor of industrial wood and other specialty building products principally to original equipment manufacturers in the United States; as an importer and distributor of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States; and as a processor and distributor of agricultural seeds in the United States.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Generally accepted accounting principles

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

Principles of consolidation

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

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

Estimates

The preparation of 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Currency

These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars as the Company's operations are based predominately in the United States.  Any amounts expressed in Canadian dollars are indicated as such.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  At August 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash held at financial institutions.

2.

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 overdue.

Inventory

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

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.  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

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

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles 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.

Foreign exchange

The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.  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 average rates for the year.  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 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.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Earnings per share (cont’d…)

The earnings per share data for the years ended August 31 is summarized as follows:

	2003	2002	2001
Net income for the year	$ 294,144	$ 837,024	$ 712,196
Basic earnings per share weighted average number
of common shares outstanding(1)	1,467,992	1,502,663	1,483,022
Effect of dilutive securities
Stock options(1)	68,815	75,912	52,110
Diluted earnings per share weighted average number of common shares outstanding (1)	1,536,807	1,578,575	1,535,132

⁽¹⁾ Restated for the 3:2 stock split (Note 10).

Stock option plan

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

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

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Stock option plan (cont’d…)

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

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

	2003	2002	2001
Net income
As reported	$ 294,144	$ 837,024	$ 712,196
Add: Total stock-based employee compensation expense included in income, as reported determined under APB 25, net of related tax effects	(19,376)	20,340	-
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects	-	(9,972)	-
Pro forma	$ 274,768	$ 847,392	$ 712,196
Basic earnings per share
As reported	$ 0.20	$ 0.56	$ 0.48
Pro forma	$ 0.19	$ 0.56	$ 0.48
Diluted earnings per share
As reported	$ 0.19	$ 0.53	$ 0.46
Pro forma	$ 0.18	$ 0.54	$ 0.46

Comprehensive Income

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

2.

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 financial institutions.

Accounts receivable / Income taxes receivable / Notes receivable

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

Bank indebtedness

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

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

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

Notes payable

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

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

	2003		2002
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$ 236,871	$ 236,871	469,991	469,991
Accounts receivable	6,060,615	6,060,615	6,098,733	6,098,733
Income taxes receivable	529,025	529,025	-	-
Note receivable	142,449	142,449	-	-
Bank indebtedness	6,007,088	6,007,088	2,965,639	2,965,639
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	2,453,003	2,453,003	4,018,760	4,018,760
Notes payable	2,261,955	2,261,955	-	-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Income taxes

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

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

Shipping 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 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 by the provision of seed processing, handling and storage services provided to seed growers, and by the sales of seed products.  Revenue from the provision of these services and products is recognized when the services have been performed and products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." (“SFAS No. 143”).  SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  SFAS No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d…)

In August 2002,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," (“SFAS No. 144”) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," (“SFAS No. 121”), it retains many of the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS No. 145").  SFAS No. 145 revises the criteria for classifying the extinguishment of debt as extraordinary and the accounting treatment of certain lease modifications. The adoption of this standard had no impact on  the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January 2003,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," (“SFAS No. 146”) which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restruction)” (“EITF 94-3”). SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing any future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.  SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS No. 148”).  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2002.

In July 2003, the Company  adopted SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (“SFAS No. 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.  The adoption of this standard had no impact on  the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

3.

BUSINESS COMBINATION AND ACQUISITION

On March 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets including inventory, equipment and a license to use all of the intangible assets of Greenwood Forest Products Inc. (“Greenwood”).  The cost of the acquisition was allocated as follows:

Furniture and equipment	$ 260,000
License	1,000
	$ 261,000

The agreement also required the Company to purchase approximately up to an additional $7,000,000 of inventory from Greenwood over the next two years of which the full amount has been purchased at August 31, 2003. Greenwood is in the business of processing and distribution of industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers.

Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company incorporated Greenwood Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The operations of Greenwood Products Inc. from March 1, 2002 onwards are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.

Home improvement and wood products	$ 7,508,841	$ 3,862,811
Air tools and industrial clamps	347,506	289,847
Agricultural seed products	804,125	544,125
	$ 8,660,472	$ 4,696,783

5.

NOTE RECEIVABLE

The note receivable is due on demand and bears interest at prime plus 1%.  The note was assumed from Greenwood during the current year in exchange for a note payable which is included in the notes payable balance as of August 31, 2003.

6.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

	2003	2002
Office equipment	$ 528,994	$ 488,108
Warehouse equipment	685,940	669,274

Accumulated depreciation	(1,568,265)	(1,235,142)
Net book value	$ 2,586,279	$ 2,861,850

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized. Management's estimates of revenues, operating expenses, and operating capital are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of the Company's investments.  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.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

A reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes with amounts determined by applying the statutory US federal income tax rate to income before income taxes is as follows:

	2003	2002	2001

Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$ 101,200	$ 452,446	$ (77,035)

7.

INCOME TAXES (cont’d…)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	2003	2002
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$ -	$ 117,098
Allowance for inventory	36,742	-
Difference between book and tax depreciation	58,958	54,802

Valuation allowance	(85,327)	(186,719)
Net deferred tax assets	$ 95,700	$ 171,900

The Company has provided a full allowance on the deferred tax asset relating to its Canadian net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of these being realized.

At August 31, 2003, the Company has available unused Canadian net operating losses of approximately $120,000 that may be applied against future taxable income.  These losses, if unutilized, will expire between 2004 and 2008.

8.

NOTES PAYABLE (cont’d…)

The notes are due to the former shareholders of Greenwood for the inventory purchases completed during the current year.  The amounts were converted from trade payable to notes payable during the current year.

10.

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.

On February 28, 2003, the Company implemented a 3:2 stock split on its common shares.  At that date, the number of common shares outstanding increased from 1,025,605 common shares to 1,538,408 common shares.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock split for all periods presented.

On November 20, 2002, the Company issued 7,083 common shares (10,625 post 3:2 stock split) upon the exercise of ESOP stock options for cash proceeds of $58,789.

On October 24, 2002, the Company issued 12,860 common shares (19,290 post 3:2 stock split) for a private placement for cash proceeds of $106,100.

On December 13, 2001 and December 30, 2001, the Company issued 4,000 common shares (6,000 post 3:2 stock split) on each of those dates upon exercise of stock options for cash proceeds of $41,102.

Treasury stock

Treasury stock is recorded at cost.  During the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company repurchased 8,800 (11,500 post 3:2 stock split) and 24,200 (36,300 post 3:2 stock split) shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $66,359 and $175,059, respectively.

During the current year, the Company cancelled 78,550 (2002 – 114,750; 2001 – Nil) common shares with an average cost of $323,631 (2002 - $418,983; 2001 - $Nil).  The premium paid to acquire these shares over their per share book value in the amount of $228,082 (2002 - $289,175; 2001 - $Nil) was recorded as a decrease to retained earnings.

11.

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.

11.

STOCK OPTIONS (cont’d…)

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 favour 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.

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.  

Proceeds received by the Company from exercise of stock options are credited to capital stock.

At August 31, 2003, employee incentive stock options were outstanding enabling the holders to acquire the following number of shares:

During the year ended August 31, 2003, a recovery of stock-based compensation of $19,376 was recorded as a result of the annual recalculation of the options that were repriced during the year ended August 31, 2002.  Stock based compensation recognized during the year ended August 31, 2002 was $20,340.  These amounts were allocated to wages and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted or repriced during the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were Cdn$Nil, Cdn$3.98, and Cdn$Nil per share, respectively.  These amounts were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, the expected dividend payments and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.  The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows for stock options granted and repriced:

	2003	2002	2001
Risk-free interest rate	-	3%	-
Expected life of the options	-	2 years	-
Expected volatility	-	41.62%	-

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

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, 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 equal to the market price of the shares acquired on the open market.  Any dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.  ESOP compensation expense was $143,050, $155,051 and $82,530 for the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in wages and benefits.  The ESOP shares as of August 31 were as follows:

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)

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 Ltd.  During the current year 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 is currently in dispute with the holders of the notes as to the final amounts owing and accordingly has recorded its estimate of the amounts owing based on information available to it as at August 31, 2003.  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. However, any potential change is currently not determinable at this time.

b)

The Company leases office premises pursuant to an operating lease which expires in 2005.  For the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, rental expense was $180,812, $86,440 and $Nil, respectively.

Future minimum annual lease payments are as follows:

CONCENTRATIONS

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.  The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States amongst a small number of customers.  At August 31, 2003, no customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.  At August 31, 2002, one customer totalling $825,722 accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.  The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.  The Company performs credit evaluations of its commercial customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

Volume of business

The Company has concentrations in the volume of purchases it conducts with its suppliers.  For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company had one supplier totalling $6,486,756 that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases in the industrial wood products segment.  For the year ended August 31, 2002, there were no suppliers that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases.  For the year ended August 31, 2001, there were two suppliers totalling $2,754,416 and $3,013,669 that account for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases in the lumber and building materials segment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Generally accepted accounting principles

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which are not materially different from generally accepted accounting principles utilized in Canada.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein.  These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2003.  The results of operations for the period ended May 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 2004.

Principles of consolidation

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

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

Estimates

The preparation of 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Currency

These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars as the Company's operations are based predominately in the United States.  Any amounts expressed in Canadian dollars are indicated as such.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  At May 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash held at financial institutions.

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 overdue.

Inventory

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

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

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

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles 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.

Foreign exchange

The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.  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 average rates for the year.  Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

Net income per share

Basic net income 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 net income per common share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic net income per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.

The net income per share data for the period ended May 31, 2004 is summarized as follows:

	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2004	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2003	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2004	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2003

Stock option plan

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

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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Stock option plan (cont’d…)

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

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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

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.

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 financial institutions.

Accounts receivable / Income taxes receivable / Note receivable

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

Bank indebtedness

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

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

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

Notes payable

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

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

	May 31, 2004		August 31, 2003
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$       420,036	$       420,036	$ 236,871	$ 236,871

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Income taxes

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

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

Shipping 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 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 by the provision of seed processing, handling and storage services provided to seed growers, and by the sales of seed products.  Revenue from the provision of these services and products is recognized when the services have been performed and products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured.

Recent accounting pronouncements

               In January 2003, FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” ("FIN 46") (revised in December 17, 2003).  The objective of FIN 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities.  A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities.  FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both.  FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest.  The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after December 15, 2003.  The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after March 15, 2004.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized. Management's estimates of revenues, operating expenses, and operating capital are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of the Company's investments.  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.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)

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 fiscal 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 is currently in dispute with the holders of the notes as to the final amounts owing and accordingly has recorded its estimate of the amounts owing based on information available to it as at May 31, 2004 and August 31, 2003.  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. However, any   potential change is currently not determinable at this time.

b)

The Company leases office premises pursuant to an operating lease which expires in 2005. For the periods ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003, rental expense was $136,382 and $135,609 respectively.

Future minimum annual lease payments are as follows:

2004	$ 56,900
2005	14,300

c)

At May 31, 2004, the Company had an un-utilized line-of-credit of approximately $ 2,400,000 (Note 7).

12.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has four principal reportable segments: the sale of lumber and building materials to home improvement centres in the United States; the processing and sale of industrial products to original equipment manufacturers in the United States; the sale of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States; and the processing and sale of agricultural seeds in the United States.

These reportable segments were determined based on the nature of the products offered.  Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income before taxes.  The following tables show the operations of the Company's reportable segments.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION (cont'd…)

For the nine month periods ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003, the Company made sales of $6,314,020 (2003 - $4,316,412) to  a customer of the building materials segment which were in excess of 10% of total sales for the nine month period.

CONCENTRATIONS

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.  The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States amongst a small number of customers.  At May 31, 2004 and August 31, 2003, no customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable.  The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.  The Company performs credit evaluations of its commercial customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

Volume of business

The Company has concentrations in the volume of purchases it conducts with its suppliers.  For the period ended May 31, 2004, the Company had two suppliers totalling $6,480,563 and $3,741,428 that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases in the industrial wood products segment.  For the period ended May 31, 2003, there were two suppliers totalling $8,906,336 that accounted for purchases greater than 10% of total purchases.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

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

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

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following table sets forth the expenses payable by the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the common shares being registered hereby. All of such expenses are estimates, other than the filing and listing fees payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Filing Fee—Securities and Exchange Commission	$	293
Fee—National Association of Securities Dealers		850
Fees and Expenses of Counsel		4,000[1]
Printing Expenses		2,500*
Fees and Expenses of Accountants		5,000*
Blue Sky Fees and Expenses		5,000*
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses		1,000
Miscellaneous Expenses		1,500*
Total	$	20,143*

•

All expenses are estimated except the Commission filing fee.

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

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

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

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

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

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

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

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) Rule 415 Offering.

            The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of North Plains, State of Oregon, on September 9, 2004.
