URBAN BARNS FOODS INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
| | |
| Urban Barns Foods Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 21, 2007 as HL Ventures Inc. |
| | |
| On December 4, 2009, the Company closed a reverse takeover transaction with Urban Barns Foods Inc., a privately-held company incorporated on July 3, 2009 under the laws of the province of Alberta. In accordance with the transaction, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Urban Barns in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Urban Barns. As part of the acquisition, the Company also cancelled 102,500 shares of common stock held by management. |
| | |
| On June 2, 2011, the Company closed a reverse takeover transaction with Non Industrial Manufacture Inc. (“NIM”), a privately-held company incorporated on February 10, 2010, under the laws of the province of Alberta. In accordance with the transaction, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of Class B common stock to the shareholders of Non Industrial in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Non Industrial. |
| | |
| The Company is a development stage company and is an urban produce production company that aims to be the supplier of choice for fresh and high-quality organic and conventional fruits and vegetables for urban consumers. |
| | |
| These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at January 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $358,266 an accumulated deficit of $1,944,480. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
| | |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
| | |
| (a) | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation |
| | |
| | The consolidated financial statements and the related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in United States dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Urban Barns Foods (Alberta) Inc., and Non-Industrial Manufacture Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is July 31. |
| | |
| (b) | Use of Estimates |
| | |
| | The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies(continued) |
| | |
| (c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
| | |
| | The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
| | |
| (d) | Property and Equipment |
| | |
| | Property and equipment consists of production equipment and is stated at cost and amortized straight- line over five years. |
| | |
| (e) | Intangible assets |
| | |
| | Intangible assets consist of patent development costs. Intangible assets acquired are initially recognized and measured at cost and amortized over its expected useful life once the patents are in use. Impairment tests are conducted annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The impairment test compares the carrying amount of the intangible asset with its fair value, and an impairment loss is recognized in income for the excess, if any. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed annually. |
| | |
| (f) | Long-Lived Assets |
| | |
| | In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. |
| | |
| (g) | Revenue Recognition |
| | |
| | The Company derives revenue from the sale of agricultural products. In accordance with ASC 605,Revenue Recognition,revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed and determinable, risk of ownership has passed to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. |
| | |
| (h) | Inventory |
| | |
| | Inventory is comprised of seeds for growing agricultural products and is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in first-out basis. The Company establishes inventory reserves for estimated obsolete or unsaleable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future and market conditions. |
| | |
| (i) | Comprehensive Loss |
| | |
| | ASC 220,Comprehensive Income,establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company had no items that affected comprehensive loss. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
| | |
| (j) | Foreign Currency Translation |
| | |
| | The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of integrated operations and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income. |
| | |
| (k) | Loss Per Share |
| | |
| | The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”,which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at January 31, 2013, the Company had 109,686 (July 31, 2012 – 1,722,222) potentially dilutive shares. |
| | |
| (l) | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures |
| | |
| | ASC 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: |
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures, derivative liabilities, and amount due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
| | |
| (m) | Stock-based Compensation |
| | |
| | The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. |
| | |
| (n) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
| | |
| | The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |

| | |

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this filing, and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. The following discusses our financial condition and results of operations based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Results of Operations
We are still in our development stage and have generated $778 of revenue to date.
We incurred operating expenses of $866,803 for the six months ended January 31, 2013. These expenses consisted of $743,110 in general operating expenses, $26,250 in research and development expenses, and $86,940 in professional fees. For the same period ended January 31, 2012 we incurred operating expenses of $193,568.
Our net loss from inception (February 10, 2010) through January 31, 2013 was $1,809,495.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

Current Liabilities | | 394,504 | | | 396,209 | |
Shareholders Equity (Deficit) | | (121,506 | ) | | (204,881 | ) |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2013 we had cash of $27,687, total current assets of $36,238, total current liabilities of $394,504 and a working capital deficit of $358,266 compared to cash of $24,051, total current assets of $36,259, total current liabilities of $396,209, and working capital deficit of $332,950 as of July 31, 2012. The increase in working capital deficit is due to the fact that our day-to-day expenditures are increasing at a higher rate than our proceeds received from operating and financing activities.
During the period ended January 31, 2013, we received net cash of $327,450 from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $148,215 from financing activities during the period ended January 31, 2012. The increase is due to proceeds received from the issuance of common shares.
During the period ended January 31, 2013, we used net cash of $228,902 on operating activities, compared to $115,256 net cash used on operating activities during the period ended January 31, 2012. The increase in cash used was due to increase in proceeds from financing activities which allowed us to incur more operating activity.
15
During the period ended January 31, 2013, we used net cash of $94,912 on investing activities compared to $2,464 net cash used on operating activities during the period ended January 31, 2012. The increase in cash used was due to the purchase of additional growing machines at our Langley, BC facility.
Since February 10, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2013, our accumulated deficit was $1,944,480. We are dependent on the funds raised through our equity or debt financing, investing activities, and revenue generated through the sales of our products to fund our operations.
We anticipate that we will meet our ongoing cash requirements by retaining income as well as through equity or debt financing. We plan to cooperate with various individuals and institutions to acquire the financing required to produce and distribute our products and anticipate this will continue until we accrue sufficient capital reserves to finance all of our productions independently.
Plan of Operation
Our management has focused on acquiring or merging with one or more operating businesses. Our efforts to identify a target business resulted in the Share Exchange Agreement with Non Industrial Manufacture Inc. (NIM), a private company. On June 2, 2011 the share exchange with NIM closed. We are now an urban produce production company with patents pending that aims to be the supplier of choice of fresh, locally grown, high-quality organic and conventional fruits and vegetables for urban consumers.
We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $1,925,000 as summarized in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from investors or other sources.
Description | Potential Completion Date | Estimated Expenses ($) |
Cost of sales | 12 months | 500,000 |
Sales & Marketing | 12 months | 550,000 |
Payroll | 12 months | 300,000 |
General and administrative expenses | 12 months | 575,000 |
Total | | 1,925,000 |
Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist of professional fees, office maintenance, communication expenses (cellular, internet, fax and telephone), bank charges, courier and postage costs, office supply costs and fees related to our website. Our professional fees will include legal, accounting and auditing fees related to our regulatory filings throughout the year.
Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of $1,925,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
16
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 31, 2013 we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies are included in note 2 of the Notes to our Financial Statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.
a.Basis of Accounting
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a July 31 year-end.
b.Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260Earnings Per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
c.Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible debt and share-based payments, and deferred income tax valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
d.Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.
The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiary is financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.
17
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2013. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
