The assets being acquired consist of nearly $7 million of inventory (at year end) which will be purchased in eight installments over the next two years for a price equal to the seller’s cost plus 2%; furnishings, equipment and supplies are being purchased for $260 thousand, payable at closing; and a license to use all of the intangible assets of the seller for a five year term, with an option to purchase for a nominal amount at the end of the term, is being acquired for $1 thousand, payable at closing.  The initial acquisition price is being paid from the working capital of registrant, and the inventory purchases are expected to be made from working capital and working capital loans.


The business of Greenwood Forest Products has been the processing and distribution of industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers.  Greenwood Products, Inc., a newly organized Oregon corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation will continue the acquired business.  Mr. Cary Dovenberg, former president of Greenwood Forest Products, will be the president and chief executive officer of the new company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

DECEMBER 31, 2001



1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS


The Company was incorporated under the State of Oregon on February 7, 1977.


The Company operates out of facilities located in Portland, Oregon and is in the business of processing and distributing industrial wood and other specialty building products, principally to original equipment manufacturers and the scaffolding industry located across the United States.


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Generally accepted accounting principles


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


Estimates


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


Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of industrial wood and other specialty building products, when the products are shipped and the ultimate collection is reasonably assured.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2001 and 2000, cash deposits exceed federally insured limits by approximately $1,026,000 and $101,000, respectively.


Income taxes


The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state law to be taxed as an S Corporation. The stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. Certain specific deductions and credits flow through the Company to its stockholders.


The Company pays, on behalf of its stockholders, the taxes arising from their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company paid $73,635 and $444,940 respectively.

The Company has a Stock Option Plan ("Plan") under which key employees may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 1,890 shares. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the maximum number of shares available for future grants under the Plan remains at 1,890 shares. Under the Plan, the option exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options will expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. For any shareholder holding more than ten percent of the total common shares, options will expire no later than 5 years from the grant date.  Proceeds received by the Company from exercises of stock options are credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, there are no options outstanding.  For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, no options have been granted or exercised.


Inventories

Office equipment

5-7 years

 

Leasehold improvements

7 years

The Company's financial instruments consists of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, deposits, cash surrender value of officers’ life insurance, bank overdraft, line of credit, trade accounts payable, accrued commissions, payroll and payroll taxes, accrued pension plan contributions, accrued warranty reserve, long term debt, and notes payable to officers.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)


Recent accounting pronouncements


Effective June 1, 2001, the Company adopted the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," ("SAB 101").  SAB 101 provides guidance related to revenue recognition.


In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all future business combinations and specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will also require that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 as of July 1, 2001.


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


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



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


3.

INVENTORIES


The Company's inventories primarily consist of industrial grade plywood in treated and untreated forms, and laminated veneer lumber.  The majority of inventories is directed towards a customer base that are original equipment manufacturers and towards the scaffolding industry.

In the event 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.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

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 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.

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd.



The accompanying unaudited pro-forma financial statements reflect the financial position of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. ("Jewett") as of May 31, 2002, and the results of its operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2001 after giving effect to the purchase of the assets of Greenwood Forest Products Inc. ("Greenwood") by Jewett as described further below. The unaudited pro-forma balance sheet is based on the historical balance sheet of Greenwood and gives effect to the purchase of Greenwood's assets by Jewett as if it happened on May 31, 2002.  The unaudited pro-forma statements of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 and the unaudited pro-forma statement of operations for the twelve months ended August 31, 2001 gives effect to the purchase of Greenwood's assets by Jewett as if it had occurred on September 1, 2000.


The pro-forma adjustments do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings which may be achievable with respect to the purchase of assets.  The pro-forma adjustments do not include any adjustments to historical sales for any future price changes nor any adjustments to selling and marketing expenses for any future operating changes.


On March 1, 2002 Jewett entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Greenwood’s assets.  For accounting purposes, the purchase has been treated as a purchase of a business with Jewett as the acquirer.  In connection with the purchase, Jewett is acquiring Greenwood’s inventory, furnishings, equipment, supplies and a license to use all of the intangible assets of the seller.  Jewett has paid $729,098 for the first installment of inventory, $260,000 for furnishing, equipment and supplies, and $1,000 for Greenwood’s intangible assets which are already reflected in Jewett's balance sheet as at May 31, 2002.  Jewett has the obligation over the next two years to complete the purchase of Greenwood’s remaining inventory.
