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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Generally accepted accounting principles

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which are not materially different from generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2004. The results of operations for the nine month period ended May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending August 31, 2005.

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 (“Cdn$”) 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, 2005 and August 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 or more overdue.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost, based on the average cost method, or 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 any non-monetary or monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any revenue and expense transactions in a foreign currency are translated at rates approximating those in effect at the time of the transaction. 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 during 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 periods ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 is summarized as follows:

	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2005	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2004	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2005	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2004

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.

Stock option plan (cont’d…)

In accordance with APB 25, compensation costs for stock options are 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.

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 and net income per share would have been reduced (increased) to the following pro-forma amounts:

	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2005	Three Month Period Ended May 31, 2004	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2005	Nine Month Period Ended May 31, 2004

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 / Note receivable

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

Bank indebtedness

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

Accounts payable / Accrued liabilities / Income taxes payable

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

Notes payable

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

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

	May 31, 2005		August 31, 2004
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$ 946,905	$ 946,905	$ 290,482	$ 290,482
Accounts receivable	6,418,832	6,418,832	6,514,455	6,514,455

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 period in 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 statements of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as revenue in the consolidated statements 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 November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”) which revised Accounting Research Bulletin No.43, “Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins” (“ARB No. 43”) relating to inventory costs. This revision is to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that these items be recognized as a current period charge regardless of whether they meet the criterion specified in ARB No. 43 and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS No. 153”) which amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.

SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB 25 and its related implementation guidance by requiring entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions) and revises SFAS No. 123 as follows:

Public entities are required to measure liabilities incurred to employees in share-based payment transactions at fair value and nonpublic entities may elect to measure their liabilities to employees incurred in share-based payment transactions at their intrinsic value whereas under SFAS No. 123, all share-based payment liabilities were measured at their intrinsic value.

ii)

Nonpublic entities are required to calculate fair value using an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of its share price if it is not practicable to estimate the expected volatility of the entity’s share price.

iii)

Entities are required to estimate the number of instruments for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered as opposed to accounting for forfeitures as they occur.

iv)

Incremental compensation cost for a modification of the terms or conditions of an award is measured by comparing the fair value of the modified award with the fair value of the award immediately before the modification whereas SFAS No. 123 required that the effects of a modification be measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified award at the date it is granted and the award’s value immediately before the modification determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining initially estimated expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified award.

SFAS No. 123R also clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. SFAS No. 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force 96-18. SFAS No. 123R also does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans which are subject to Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R in the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For nonpublic entities, SFAS No. 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.

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

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

Deferred income taxes of $45,700 (August 31, 2004 - $45,700) relate principally to temporary differences between the accounting and tax treatment of income, expenses, reserves and depreciation.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

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 notes payable, 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, 2005 and August 31, 2004. 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. Subsequent to the balance sheet date a deposit was made to the court for the full balance of the loans payable, as computed by the Company.

The Company leases office premises pursuant to an operating lease which expires in January 2006. For the nine month periods ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004, rental expense was $143,213 and $136,382 respectively. The Company has extended this lease with a new expiration date of January 31, 2006.

Future minimum annual lease payments are as follows:

	Fiscal 2005	$ 40,800
	Fiscal 2006	$ 71,500

At May 31, 2005, the Company had an un-utilized line-of-credit of approximately $4,000,000 (Note 7).

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, 2005 and August 31, 2004, 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, 2005, the Company had no suppliers that accounted for greater than 10% of total purchases. For the nine month period ended May 31, 2004, there were 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are those of Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (the “Company” or “Jewett-Cameron”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state its financial position as of May 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the three-month periods and the nine-month periods ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 in conformity with US GAAP. Operating results for the three-month period and the nine-month period ended May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2005.

The Company’s number of days in receivables was approximately 32 days as at May 31, 2005 and at August 31, 2004 the number of days in receivables were 30.

The Company’s number of days in inventory remained constant at 60 as at May 31, 2005 and 55 days as at August 31, 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Jewett Cameron’s operations are classified into four principal 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 (“Jewett Cameron Lumber”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and consist primarily of lumber and building materials 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. (“Greenwood Products”) , 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 storage, processing and 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.

Three Months Ended May 31 , 2005 and May 31 , 2004

For the third quarter ended May 31, 2005, sales decreased 5% to $19,184,172 compared to $20,191,768 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

The principal reason for the 5% decrease in sales was due to the following lower sales in both Jewett-Cameron Lumber and Greenwood Products.

Sales attributable to Jewett-Cameron Lumber decreased in the amount of $644,884 due to the management’s decision to concentrate sales efforts in the area of higher margin products. This has resulted in somewhat lower sales volumes, but greater profits.

Sales attributable to Greenwood Products decreased in the amount of $610,091 during the three months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2004. Management feels that the lower volume of sales is due simply to a market slowdown during the most recent period as there have been no changes to either the product line or prices.

Cost of sales accounted for 86% of sales for the third quarter compared to 87% for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

The cost of sale attributable to Jewett-Cameron Lumber decreased by 18% during the three months ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2004. There were no changes in product lines or significant changes in volume and management attributes the decrease primarily to the decreases in the prices of the materials during the period.

The cost of sales attributable to Jewett-Cameron Seed Company increased 32% during the three-month period ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the three-month period ended May 31, 2004. The reason for the increase in the cost of sales was the higher volume of sales.

The cost of sales attributable to MSI-PRO increased 8% during the three-month period ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the three-month period ended May 31, 2004. The reason for the increase was the shift to higher priced products.

The cost of sales attributable to Greenwood Products decreased 4% during the three-month period ended May 31, 2005 as compared to the three-month period ended May 31, 2004. The primary reason for the decrease was the overall decrease in the price of the raw materials utilized in the panel products. A secondary reason was that management decided to carry slightly lower inventories and this resulted in lower carrying costs.

Operating expenses accounted for 11% of sales for the third quarter compared to 10% for the second quarter of the last fiscal year, an increase of 1%. The slight increase is attributable to higher professional fees, which were attributable to increased audit work resulting from new regulations.

The net income for the third quarter of the current fiscal year was $343,097 compared to net income of $384,642 for the third fiscal quarter of the last fiscal. The decrease in net income was due primarily to management’s decision to increase accruals.

The diluted earnings per share was $0.22 for the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.25 for the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Nine Months Ended May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004

For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, ended May 31, 2005, sales increased 8% to $56,669,227 compared to $52,557,506 for the same fiscal period of the previous fiscal year.

The principal reasons for the 8% increase in overall sales are as follows:

Sales of lumber and building materials were $10,070,112 for the first nine months, an increase of 2% compared to sales of $9,902,883 for the first nine months of the last fiscal last year. An effort to shift from our traditional wood product mix towards metal based products continues. The result is a higher margin proprietary product line with anticipated growth in both volume and profitability. The overall impact on sales of products associated with Jewett-Cameron Lumber was a slight increase as the higher prices were passed on to customers. Margins also improved due to management efficiencies.

Revenue from the sales of industrial wood products was $42,111,051 for the first nine months, an increase of 11% compared to revenues of $38,050,898 for the first nine months of last year. Management feels that the increase in sales was due to a stronger market as there has been no significant change in product lines.

Sales of pneumatic tools and industrial clamps were $844,053 for the first nine months compared to $748,815 for the first nine months of the last fiscal year, an increase of 13%. This increase was due to the introduction of products with higher margins than those sold in the past.

Sales of processed seeds and grain were $3,644,012 for the first nine months compared to $3,854,910 for the first nine months of the last fiscal year, a decrease of 5%. The decrease in sales was due to the fact that the majority of the sales were of grasses rather than clovers. The price of grass decreased during the first nine months ended May 31, 2005.

Cost of sales accounted for 87% of sales for the first nine months compared to 88% for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 1%.

Operating expenses accounted for 12% of sales for the first nine months compared to 11% for the first nine months of the last fiscal year, an increase of 1%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in wages and employee benefits proportionately to sales. This increase resulted from the inclusion of independent sales representatives in this category that were accounted for in the past as a general sales expense. General and administrative expenses for the Company were $1,822,133 for the first nine months, which was lower by $139,659 than the general and administrative expenses of $1,961,792 for the first nine months of the last fiscal year. Management believes that with the current organizational structure, general and administrative expenses will remain constant at slightly over $600,000 per quarter.

The net income for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 was $615,556, which represents a 37% increase over the first nine months of the last fiscal year when the Company had net income in the amount of $450,867. The increase in net income was due primarily to higher demand in the industrial wood products segment of the business and the sales of products with higher margins in both the lumber and building materials segment of the business and the industrial tools segment of the business.

The diluted earnings per share was $0.40 for the nine month period ended May 31, 2005 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the nine months ended May 31, 2004, an increase of 33%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of May 31, 2005 , the Company had working capital of $6,397,920, which represented an increase of $850,936 as compared to the working capital position of $5,546,984 as of August 31, 2004. The primary reason for the increase in working capital was an increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $656,423. Accounts receivable decreased in the amount of $95,623. Prepaid expenses increased from $123,890 at August 31, 2004 to $126,307 at May 31, 2005.

There are no specific reasons for the decrease in receivables other than the timing of collections, which were faster during the fiscal period.

The primary reason for the increase in cash is the fact that inventories for Greenwood Products decreased.

Accounts receivable and inventory represented 93% 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, 2005 of $3,778,152 and an outstanding balance as of August 31, 2004 of $6,249,552.

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

Business Risks

This quarterly report includes “forward–looking statements” as that term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or “hopeful,” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. For example, this section contains numerous forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this report are made based on management’s current expectations and estimates, which involve risks and uncertainties, including those described in the following paragraphs.

•

Demand for company products may change;

•

Production time and the overall cost of products could increase if any of the primary suppliers are lost or if any primary supplier increased the prices of products;

•

Fluctuations in quarterly and annual operating results may make it difficult to predict future performance;

•

Shareholders could experience significant dilution;

•

The Company could lose its significant customers;

•

The Company could experience delays in the delivery of its products;

•

A loss of the bank credit agreement could impact future liquidity;

•

The limited daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock could make it difficult for investors to purchase additional shares or sell currently held shares.

Demand for Company products may change:

In the past the Company has experienced decreasing annual sales in the areas of lumber and building materials 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, the Company could experience a significant decrease in profitability.

Production time and the overall cost of products could increase if any of the primary suppliers are lost or if a primary supplier increased the prices of raw materials:

The Company’s manufacturing operation, which consists of cutting fencing material to specific sizes and shapes, depends upon obtaining adequate supplies of lumber on a timely basis. The results of operations could be adversely affected if adequate supplies of raw materials cannot be obtained in a timely manner or if the costs of lumber increased significantly.

Fluctuations in quarterly and annual operating results may make it difficult to predict future performance:

Quarterly and annual operating results could fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, some of which are beyond management’s control. As a result of quarterly fluctuations, it is important to realize quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

Shareholders could experience significant dilution:

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value per share. As of the date of this report, no shares of preferred stock have been issued. The Company’s preferred stock may bear such rights and preferences, including dividend and liquidation preferences, as the board of directors may fix and determine from time to time. 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.

The Company could lose its significant customers:

The top ten customers of the Company represent 49% of its business. The Company would experience a significantly adverse effect if these customers were lost and could not be replaced.

The Company could experience delays in the delivery of its products:

The Company purchases its products from other vendors and a delay in shipment from these vendors to the Company could cause significant delays in delivery to the Company’s customers. This could result in a decrease in sales orders to the Company.

A loss of the bank credit agreement could impact future liquidity:

The Company currently maintains a line of credit with U.S. Bank in the amount of $8 million. A loss of this credit line could have a significantly adverse effect on the liquidity of the Company.

The limited daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock could make it difficult for investors to purchase additional shares or sell currently held shares in the open market:

The shares of the 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 the Company’s common stock is 500 shares within the NASDAQ system and significantly less on the Toronto Stock Exchange. With this limited trading volume investors could find it difficult to purchase or sell the Company’s common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments as of May 31, 2005. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk.

The Company’s interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company’s cash equivalents as well as interest paid on debt.

The Company has a line of credit whose interest rate is based on various published rates that may fluctuate over time based on economic changes in the environment. The Company is subject to interest rate risk and could be subject to increased interest payments if market interest rates fluctuate. The Company does not expect any change in the interest rates to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Management does not expect foreign currency exchange rates to significantly impact the Company in the future as all of the Company’s business operations are in the United States.
