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. The Company 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 consolidated 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 April 30, 2015, the Company had not generated
significant revenues, had a working capital deficit of $776,569, and had an
accumulated deficit of $5,823,161. The continued operations of the Company are
dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows from operations or obtain
additional financing. Management is obtaining working capital through debt or
equity financing until such time that the Companys operations generate positive
operating cash flow. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. The 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.

Significant Accounting
Policies |
|
(a) |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of
Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements
and related notes of the Company have been 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 (Canada) Inc.,
and Non-Industrial Manufacture Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. The Companys fiscal year-end is July 31.
The preparation of 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 collectability of accounts and amounts receivable, valuation of
inventory, useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of
convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair value of
stock-based compensation, 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 Companys estimates. To the extent there are material
differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of
operations will be affected.
|
(c) |
Interim Financial Statements |
The interim unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual
consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future
period.
|
(d) |
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.

Significant Accounting Policies
(continued) |
Accounts receivable represents
invoiced amounts to customers for the sale of agricultural products. Amounts are
presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the
Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing
accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon historical experience and current economic conditions. The
Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular
basis. As at April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the Company had no allowances for
doubtful accounts.
Inventory is comprised of seeds for
growing agricultural products and packaging materials, 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.
|
(g) |
Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment consists of
production equipment and is stated at cost and amortized straight-line over five
years.
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.
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.
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,
and collectability is reasonably assured.

ASC 220, Comprehensive
Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at April
30, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the Company had no items that affected comprehensive
loss.
|
(l) |
Foreign Currency Translation |
The Companys 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.
The Company accounts for income taxes
using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting
for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry
forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be
realized.
As of April 30, 2015 and July 31,
2014, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax
positions.
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 April 30, 2015, the
Company had 31,473,472 (July 31, 2014 - 12,237,027) potentially dilutive shares
outstanding.

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 instruments 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.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
(continued) |
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 Companys financial instruments
consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, amounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, and note
payable. 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, with the exception of derivative liabilities which is a Level 2
input.
|
(p) |
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.
Certain financial statement captions
have been reclassified from the prior year to conform to the current year
presentation.
|
(r) |
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain
forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical
fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of this report, including any
projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items; any statements of
the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operation; any
statements concerning proposed new products, services or developments; any
statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; statements of
belief; and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the
forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following: competition,
promotional costs and the risk of declining revenues. The Companys 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 the Company assumes no obligation to
update such forward-looking statements. The following discusses the Companys
financial condition and results of operations based upon its 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 the Companys financial statements and the notes thereto
included elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2015 and 2014
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, following the
opening of the Companys first growing facility, revenues of $17,052 were
generated with a cost of sales of $18,572, resulting in a negative gross margin
of $1,520. During the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company experienced
severe water issues with its artesian well and lost a significant amount of
production during the quarter as a result. The remedial action taken was to
source and install a state of the art ozone water purification system. Since
installation, water quality has been excellent for plant growth. Additionally,
the Company experienced several broken cables on its Generation 3 growing
machines which resulted in numerous production challenges during the period with
lost produce and lost production time. During the three months ended April 30,
2014, the Company did not generate any revenue.
The Company incurred operating expenses of $463,796 for the
three months ended April 30, 2015, compared with $522,056 during the three
months ended April 30, 2014. This decrease was due to lower general and
administrative expenses and professional fees offset by higher research and
development costs and depreciation expense, resulting from the opening of the
Companys first growing facility.
The Company incurred a net loss of $574,030 for the three
months ended April 30, 2015, compared with a net loss of $618,887 during the
three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in the net loss was due to lower
operating costs and lower accretion of discounts on convertible debentures
offset by higher charges incurred for changes in the fair value of derivative
liabilities, and higher interest expense when compared to the three months ended
April 30, 2014.
For the Nine Months Ended April 30, 2015 and 2014
During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, following the
opening of the Companys first growing facility, revenues of $58,388 were
generated with a cost of sales of $31,464, resulting in a gross margin of
$26,924. During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, the Company did not
generate any revenue.
The Company incurred operating expenses of $1,605,059 for the
nine months ended April 30, 2015, compared with $1,156,097 during the nine
months ended April 30, 2014. This increase was due to higher research and
development expenses, higher general and administrative expenses, higher
depreciation resulting from the opening of the Companys first growing facility,
and a higher foreign exchange loss.
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,686,849 for the nine
months ended April 30, 2015, compared with a net loss of $1,474,139 during the
nine months ended April 30, 2014. The increase in the net loss was due to an
increase in operating expenses as the Companys first growing facility was
opened during the nine months ended April 30, 2015, offset by lower interest
expense and a lower loss on the change in the fair value of derivative
liabilities.

As of April 30, 2015, the Company had cash of $40,931, total
current assets of $243,239, total current liabilities of $1,019,808 and a
working capital deficit of $776,569, compared to cash of $75,969, total current
assets of $201,176, total current liabilities of $244,300, and a working capital
deficit of $43,124 as of July 31, 2014. The increase in the Companys working
capital deficit is the result of the issuance of a promissory note in the amount
of $180,631 to the Companys majority shareholder, the issuance of two
promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $94,370 to one of the Companys
directors, the issuance of convertible debentures in the amount of $142,500, the
issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $166,000, and the recording of
the derivative liability pertaining to the conversion option of the convertible
debentures. The proceeds of the three promissory notes and convertible
debentures were used to support the operating costs of the Companys recently
opened first growing facility.
Cash flows from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, the Company used
$1,014,042 of cash for operating activities compared to $434,707 for the nine
months ended April 30, 2014. The increase in the use of cash for operating
activities was attributed to operating costs that were incurred for the growing
facility in the Montreal area during the current fiscal year, as the Company
commenced operations in this new facility.
Cash flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, the Company used
cash of $143,144 for investing activities compared to $434,707 during the nine
months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in the cash used for investing
activities was attributed to a decrease in the amount of cash spent on property
and equipment, as the Company incurred costs to complete the development of the
growing facility during the prior year.
Cash flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, the Company
received cash proceeds of $1,122,148 from financing activities compared to
$1,349,144 during the nine months ended April 30, 2014. During the current
period, the Company received $102,380 from related parties; $540,499 from the
issuance of common stock; $200,269 in exchange for the issuance of a note
payable that is secured against the Companys assets, bears interest at 12.68%
per annum, and is due on the earlier of the Company raising Cdn$1,000,000 in
financing or October 29, 2014; and $308,500 from the issuance of convertible
debentures. During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, the Company received
$1,420,000 in financing from the issuance of common stock net of finders fees
of $80,000, $48,424 from related parties and $32,500 from the issuance of
convertible debentures offset by a repayment of $151,780 to related parties.
As at April 30, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$5,823,161. The Company is dependent on funds raised through its equity or debt
financings, and revenue generated through the sales of the Companys products to
fund its operations.
The Company anticipates that it will meet its ongoing cash
requirements by generating revenues as well as through equity or debt financing.
It plans to cooperate with various individuals and institutions in order to
acquire the necessary financing required to produce and distribute the Companys
products and anticipates this will continue until it accrues sufficient capital
reserves to be able to finance all of its operations independently.

Plan of Operations
The Companys 2015 operating plan is focused on revenue
generation, product line development and machine design refinement. It recently
completed its first growing facility in the Montreal area and has begun
commercial scale operations and sales. The Company will continue research and
development activities in Montreal with McGill University.
The growing facility, with only 50% of the available production
space being used, consists of 13 machines and, although small, has considerable
production capacity. This new facility is fully operational and has permitted
the Company to apply for and receive Canada GAP Food Safety Certification as a
Producer and Packer of Lettuce, Basil and MicroGreens, with the third-party
auditor noting that Urban Barns quality control system goes above and beyond
the requirements of the Canada GAP Standard. In addition, the Company recently
received the MK Kosher certification for its Oak Leaf lettuce and three types of
MicroGreens. The current additions will add to the currently approved Romaine
and Butterhead lettuce that obtained Kosher certification in December 2014. The
Companys Montreal area growing facility has commenced shipping product to
multiple 4 and 5-star restaurants and hotels, some Kosher retail markets and
caterers, as well as large wholesale distributors.
In addition to the commercial barn operation, the Company has
been collaborating with McGill Universitys McDonald campus to research the
optimization of the variables of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and
apply those improvements within its growing facility. McGill has set up one of
the Companys growing machines on its campus and will conduct research in
conjunction with its recent NSERC Collaborative Research & Development grant
with industry support from Urban Barns.
The Company estimates that its expenses over the next 6 months
will be approximately $1,540,000 as summarized in the table below. These
estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of its future
business activities and its ability to raise capital from investors or other
sources.

The Companys 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 its website. The professional
fees will include legal, accounting and auditing fees related to its regulatory
filings throughout the year.
Based on its planned expenditures, the Company will require
additional funds of approximately $1,500,000 to proceed with its business plan
over the next 6 months. If it is not able to obtain additional financing on a
timely basis, the Company will be unable to conduct its operations as planned,
and will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. In such event,
the Company will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease its operations.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the Companys financial statements do
not provide for the effect of inflation on its 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.
5
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 30, 2015, the Company had one off balance sheet
transaction that will have or is reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on its financial condition, changes in its financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources. In collaboration with McGill University researcher Dr. Mark Lefsrud
of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the Company will
further develop an indoor plant growth system aimed at expanding locally grown
food. With industrial support from the Company, McGill University was awarded an
NSERC Collaborative Research & Development (CRD) grant in the amount of
$240,000 in order to continue the development of this important project. The
grant will run for an initial period of two years with the aim of optimizing
light emitting diodes to assess photosynthetic efficiency of horticultural
plants. The project is focused on the refinement of the photo synthetically
active radiation efficiency (PAR curve) of plants using light emitting diodes
(LEDs), and the basic science research will be used to optimize the lighting in
the Companys cubic farming system to maximize production and reduce energy
costs.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys unaudited consolidated 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 the Financial Statements. The Company has
identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in
the presentation of its financial position, results of operations and cash
flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by the
Companys management.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of seeds, growing medium, fertilizers
for growing agricultural products and packaging materials 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.
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.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents invoiced amounts to customers
for the sale of agricultural products. Amounts are presented net of the
allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Companys best estimate of
the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable
balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the
adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis.
Revenue
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, and collectability is reasonably
assured.
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.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK.
Not required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
The Company maintains 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 it in the reports that the Company files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2015. Based on the
evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective. The Companys independent auditors,
Saturna Group Chartered Accountants LLP, were not required to carry out an
evaluation of the Companys internal controls and have not verified or confirmed
the accuracy of managements assertions over its effectiveness of internal
controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes
in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over
financial reporting.
