INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Ameri-Can Agri Co. Inc.,
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ameri-Can Agri Co. Inc., which comprise the
consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2015, and the consolidated statements of
comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in equity for the period from October 17, 2014 (Incorporation) to
September 30, 2015, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and
fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Ameri-Can Agri Co. Inc. as at September 30, 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period
from October 17, 2014 (Incorporation) to September 30, 2015 in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which describes
certain conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on Ameri-Can
Agri Co Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Ameri-Can Agri Co. Inc. (the “Company” or “Ameri-Can”) was incorporated on October 17, 2014 in British
Columbia as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mag One Products Inc. (formerly Acana Capital Corp.) (“Mag
One”). The Company’s principal activity is the acquisition and development of real estate and farming
properties. The Company’s head office is located at Suite 200 – 8338 120th Street, Surrey, BC, V3W 3N4. On
January 1, 2015 the Company spun out from Mag One and the Company’s shares commenced trading on
Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol ACM (Note 3) on March 11, 2015.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue
as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize
assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at September 30, 2015, the Company is
not able to finance its day to day activities through operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern
is dependent whether the Company can be developed into a viable business and continued support from the
Company’s related persons. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on
its statement of financial position.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and
interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical
costs, except for financial instruments measured at their fair value, and are presented in Canadian dollars,
unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and its controlled
subsidiaries:

interests being recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these
estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to
estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting
periods include fair value measurements for financial instruments, fair value of properties and biological assets,
estimation of percentage of completion of the development of the biological assets, useful life of equipment
and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets.
Significant judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments,
apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in
applying the Company’s financial statements is the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty, the
determination of the functional currencies of the parent and each subsidiary, and the classification of financial
instruments.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock
method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share
options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
Financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale and financial liabilities. The
classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management
determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) - Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss
when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for
hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable
performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair
value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. They are subsequently
measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Company classifies its
marketable securities as FVTPL.
Loans and receivables - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included
in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are
classified as non-current assets. The Company has designated its cash and other receivable as loan and
receivables.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Held-to-maturity investments - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities and that the Company intends to hold to maturity. These assets are subsequently
measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those
which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. The Company does not
hold any held-to-maturity financial assets.
Available-for-sale – These consist of non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for sale or
are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or
held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets
to the extent they are expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Unrealized
gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign
exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets. The Company does not hold any available-for-sale
financial assets.
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortized
cost. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the
group commits to purchase the asset.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or
have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline
in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.
The Company does not have any derivative financial assets and liabilities.
Functional currency and foreign currency translation
The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which that entity operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is
the parent company’s functional currency. The functional currency of all of the Company’s US subsidiaries is
the US dollar.
Transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions will be translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end
exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at
the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the
date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are
recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise, except
where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Functional currency and foreign currency translation (continued)
Transactions and balances: (continued)
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive
income in the statement of comprehensive income to the extent that gains and losses arising on those nonmonetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign operations:
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the
Company’s presentation currency will be translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; and
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recorded to the Company’s other
comprehensive loss.
Biological assets
The Company records its biological assets as cost less accumulated amortization, unless the fair value of the
biological assets can be measured reliably. Cost consists of costs incurred planting and farming costs incurred
until the point that such trees begin producing. If fair value can be measured reliably, biological assets are
measured at fair value less cost to sell with gains and losses recorded in profit or loss. No amortization is
taken before the biological assets are ready for use.
Properties
Properties are comprised of parcels of lands used for real estate projects which are developed, to be developed,
or are in development, and two parcels of land that are being used for agricultural activity.
The Company account for all the lands and buildings in connection with the Company’s real estate projects in
accordance with IAS 40 - Investment Property. The Company capitalizes the acquisition and expenses
development costs in the period in which they were incurred.
The Company amortizes its properties once they are available for use at 39 years straight line (commercial real
estate properties).
Equipment
Equipment is comprised solely of the watering system used for farming purpose in connection with the
Company’s biological assets. Cost consists of acquisition installation and delivery. Cost less residual value, if
any, is amortized on straight basis over the estimated useful life of 15 years.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in
order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying
amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.
Ameri-Can Agri Co. Inc.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
September 30, 2015
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of assets (continued)
The Company amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the
recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and
there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount
higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in
previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually
for impairment.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is recognized when:
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the lease will flow to the Company;
the stage of completion of the lease at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred for and to complete the lease can be measured reliably.
Warrants
Proceeds from issuances of security units by the Company consisting of shares and warrants are allocated
based on the residual method. The fair value of the warrants is determined to be the difference between gross
proceeds over the fair market value of the shares. If the proceeds from the offering are less than or equal to the
fair market value of shares issued, a fair value of $Nil is assigned to the warrants.
Common-control transaction
Since the shareholders of the Company and Mag One upon close of the Arrangement were the same, the
transaction was deemed a common-control transaction. As such, the assets and liabilities assumed by
Company, including cash, other receivables, properties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due
to related parties, and the note payable, were originally recognized on the date of the Arrangement at the
carrying value of the assets and liabilities according to the records of Mag One.
Income taxes
Current income tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and
generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is
recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income taxes (continued)
Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only
to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the
asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the
same taxation authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS9”) was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine
whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39.
The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its
business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements
in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9.
The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment
methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 will be effective January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is
in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued and have
future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. CORPORATE RESTURCTING
On January 1, 2015, the Company and Mag One entered into a plan of arrangement in order to proceed with a
corporate restructuring (the “Arrangement”), whereby Mag One transferred the ownership of its 50% interest
in JDLP, Agri and Acana, to the Company in return for 30,646,671 common shares of the Company (“AmeriCan Shares”) with a fair value of $744,792. Ameri-Can Shares were distributed to the shareholders of Mag
One on a pro-rata basis based on their relative shareholdings of Mag One of the completion of the
Arrangement, when the Company’s common shares started trading on the CSE after all approvals were
received. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, the Company was no longer a subsidiary of Mag One.

5. OTHER RECEIVABLE
During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Company wrote off an amount owing from JDLP’s 50%
partner as this amount was not considered to be collectible. As a result, a write-down of $2,098,398 was
recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss.
Additionally, during the period ended Spetember 30, 2015, the Company wrote off a loan of $100,000 owing
from a company with common directors and officers due to the uncertainty of collectability (Note 12).
6. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
As at September 30, 2015, the Company had immature non-current biological assets which were comprised of
plantation bearer assets of walnut trees planted on the Company’s properties located at 106 Glenn and 860
Corning (collectively the “Corning Properties”) (Note 8).

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of
Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies,
counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which
such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash which is held
in bank accounts. As most of the Company’s cash is held by two banks, there is a concentration of credit risk.
This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by
rating agencies. The Company’s secondary exposure to risk is on its sale taxes receivable from the Canadian
government; as such, the credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Company reviews its working capital position regularly to ensure there is sufficient capital in order to meet
short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its
holdings of cash.
Market risk includes foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and price risk as well as factors specific to an
individual investment or its issuer or risk specific to a certain market. Market risk is managed principally
through diversification of investments. Management monitors the overall market risk position on a quarterly
basis
Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk in relation to listed marketable securities held at FVTPL. A 10% change
in the market would result in a change of approximately $154,000 to comprehensive loss. Management
regularly reviews the expected returns from holding such investment on an individual basis.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company
is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal as all of
the interest bearing obligations have fixed interest rate.
