1. Nature of Operations | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. was incorporated in British Columbia on July 8, 1987 as a holding company for Jewett-Cameron Lumber Corporation (JCLC), incorporated September 1953. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company, Ltd. acquired all the shares of JCLC through a stock-for-stock exchange on July 13, 1987, and at that time JCLC became a wholly owned subsidiary. Effective September 1, 2013, the Company reorganized certain of its subsidiaries. JCLCs name was changed to JC USA Inc. (JC USA), and a new subsidiary, Jewett-Cameron Company (JCC), was incorporated. JC USA has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: MSI-PRO Co. (MSI), incorporated April 1996, Jewett-Cameron Seed Company, (JCSC), incorporated October 2000, Greenwood Products, Inc. (Greenwood), incorporated February 2002, and Jewett-Cameron Company, incorporated September 2013. Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have no significant assets in Canada. The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates out of facilities located in North Plains, Oregon. JCCs business consists of the manufacturing and distribution of specialty metal products and wholesale distribution of wood products to home centers and other retailers located primarily in the United States. Greenwood is a processor and distributor of industrial wood and other specialty building products principally to customers in the marine and transportation industries in the United States. MSI is an importer and distributor of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States. JCSC is a processor and distributor of agricultural seeds in the United States. JC USA provides professional and administrative services, including accounting and credit services, to its subsidiary companies. On September 1, 2019, the Company decided to permanently close the MSI division and exit the industrial tools business. As of May 31, 2020, the remaining inventory has been liquidated and the division is in the process of being closed. |

2. Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Generally accepted accounting principles These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. Principles of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, JC USA, JCC, MSI, JCSC, and Greenwood, all of which are incorporated under the laws of Oregon, U.S.A. All 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. Significant estimates incorporated into the Companys consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory obsolescence, possible product liability and possible product returns, and litigation contingencies and claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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. At May 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $3,269,289 compared to $9,652,310 at August 31, 2019. 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 greater overdue. The Company extends credit to domestic customers and offers discounts for early payment. When extension of credit is not advisable, the Company relies on either prepayment or a letter of credit. Inventory Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is recorded at the lower of cost, based on the average cost method, and market. Market is defined as net realizable value. An allowance for potential non-saleable inventory due to excess stock or obsolescence is based upon a review of inventory components. 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 3-7 years Warehouse equipment 2-10 years Buildings 5-30 years Intangibles The Companys intangible assets have a finite life and are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the asset. The intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment. Asset retirement obligations The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). The Company does not have any significant asset retirement obligations. Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of Long-lived assets 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. Currency and foreign exchange These financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars as the Company's operations are primarily based in the United States. The Company does not have non-monetary or monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any statement of operations transactions in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. 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 net income or loss 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. The earnings per share data for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Three Month Periods ended May 31, Nine Month Periods ended May 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income $ 1,396,973 $ 1,098,210 $ 1,216,089 $ 1,567,534 Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding 3,481,162 4,022,587 3,672,858 4,318,128 Effect of dilutive securities Stock options - - - - Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 3,481,162 4,022,587 3,672,858 4,318,128 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. Stock-based compensation All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award. No stock options were granted during the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2020, and there were no options outstanding on May 31, 2020. 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 Accounts receivable Accounts payable and accrued liabilities The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 follows: May 31, 2020 August 31, 2019 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Cash and cash equivalents $3,269,289 $3,269,289 $9,652,310 $9,652,310 Accounts receivable, net of allowance 6,880,459 6,880,459 2,835,952 2,835,952 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 3,170,899 3,170,899 1,722,607 1,722,607 The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset: May 31, 2020 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,269,289 $ 3,269,289 $ $ The fair values of cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. 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 sales in the consolidated statements of operations. All costs billed to the customer are included as sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of lumber, building supply products, industrial wood products, specialty metal products, 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 from 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, products sold and collection of the amounts is reasonably assured. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases Leases In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The accounting standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-14 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity. |

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 in its assets. 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. |

If proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as defined by the CARES Act, including payroll costs, health care benefits, rent and utilities, the Company can apply for forgiveness after 60 days of all or any portion of the promissory note used for such qualifying expenses. Although the Company intends to use the proceeds for qualifying expenses, there is no assurance that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the loan. The terms of the promissory note, including eligibility and forgiveness, may be subject to additional requirements adopted by the SBA. The Company has chosen to account for the loans under FASB ASC 470. Repayment amounts due within 1 year have been recorded as current liabilities, and the remaining amounts due in more than 1 year as long-term liabilities. If the Company is successful in receiving forgiveness for those portions of the loan used for qualifying expenses, those amounts will be recorded as a gain upon extinguishment. |

SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS Stock Options The Company formerly had a stock option program under which stock options to purchase securities from the Company could be granted to directors and employees of the Company on terms and conditions acceptable to the regulatory authorities of Canada, notably the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission. Under the stock option program, stock options for up to 10% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares could be granted from time to time, provided that stock options in favor 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. Generally, no option can be for a term of more than 10 years from the date of the grant. 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. Options vested at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During the quarter ended February 29, 2020, the Companys Board of Directors approved the termination of the stock option program. The Company had no stock options outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019.

The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions, including the period under which the shares will be restricted (the Restricted Period) and subject to forfeiture which is determined by the Board at the time of the grant. The recipient of Restricted Shares is entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive any dividends, except that the shares granted under the Plan are nontransferable during the Restricted Period. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan will not exceed 1% of the then issued and outstanding number of Common Shares at the time of the grant. As of August 31, 2019, the maximum number of shares available to be issued under the Plan was 39,712. During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company issued 2,294 common shares under the Plan to the Companys CEO as a portion of his earned fiscal 2018 bonus as approved by the Board. The value of this award was $18,444, with the number of shares issued determined by the closing price of the stock on the day of the grant. |

At May 31, 2019, two customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable at 66%. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, credit insurance 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 nine months ended May 31, 2020, there were two suppliers that each accounted for 10% or greater of total purchases, and the aggregate purchases amounted to $13,119,225.
