Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Urban Barns Foods Inc. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and is unlikely generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at April 30, 2011, the Company has working capital deficit of $105,347 and has accumulated losses of $673,248 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 2010-09”). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the 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.

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.
We are still in our development stage and have generated no revenues to date.

These expenses consisted of $22,631 in general operating expenses, $629 in research and development expenses, and $18,293 in professional fees.

These expenses consisted of $28,089 in general operating expenses, $8,427 in research and development expenses and $52,076 in professional fees.
We incurred operating expenses of $321,897 for the nine months ended April 30, 2011. These expenses consisted of $239,275 in general operating expenses (of which $191,668 was paid in common shares to consultants for one year of services to be provided. See Notes 5 and 7 in the Notes to Financials.), $1,827 in research and development expenses, and $72,991 in professional fees. For the same period ended April 30, 2010 we incurred operating expenses of $189,833. These expenses consisted of $44,500 in general operating expenses, $28,858 in research and development expenses and $110,278 in professional fees.

The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the quarter ended April 30, 2011.
| | 4/30/11 | |
Cash | | $ | 253 | |
Fixed assets | | $ | 11,843 | |
Total assets | | $ | 262,271 | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 105,775 | |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2011 we had cash of $253, total current assets of $428, total current liabilities of $105,775 and working capital deficit of $105,347 compared to working capital of $3,944 as of July 31, 2010. The increase in liabilities is due primarily to as increase in account payable due to lack of sufficient cashflows to pay our outstanding obligations.
During the period ended April 30, 2011, we received net cash of $nil from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $194,795 from financing activities during the period ended April 30, 2010.
During the period ended April 30, 2011, we used net cash of $5,389 on operating activities, compared to $134,114 net cash used on operating activities during the period ended April 30, 2010.
During the period ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any investing activities.
Since July 3, 2009 (inception) to April 30, 2011, our accumulated deficit was $673,248. 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.
Recently, our management decided to focus on acquiring or merging with one or more operating businesses. Our efforts to identify a target business resulted in the Share Exchange Agreement with Urban Barns Foods Inc., a private company. On December 4, 2009 the share exchange with Urban Barns closed, and we accordingly adopted the business of Urban Barns. We are now an urban produce production company 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 (beginning December 2010) will be approximately $2,301,800 as summarized in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from investors or other sources.
Description | Potential Completion Date | Estimated Expenses ($) |
Seedling purchases | 12 months | 96,000 |
Packaging | 12 months | 76,800 |
Direct cost of sales (including research and development) | 12 months | 979,200 |
Shipping | 12 months | 225,000 |
Payroll | 12 months | 350,000 |
Advertising and marketing | 12 months | 370,000 |
General and administrative expenses | 12 months | 204,800 |
Total | | 2,301,800 |
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 $2,301,800 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 30, 2011 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.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a July 31 year-end.
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.
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.
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 April 30, 2011. 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 not 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.
