MD&A Highlights

Sunora is a Calgary‐based trader and supplier of canola, soybean, corn, olive and other food oils. Currently, the Company is a relatively modestly‐sized player participating in an international business populated by some of the largest companies in the world. It has successfully maintained a niche position that has been achieved by building strong relationships with its suppliers and customers through a history of reliable and responsive service. While the Company regularly cooperates with many of these companies, it also occasionally competes with companies that have far greater resources.

Sunora had sales in line with expectations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. Sales were negatively impacted by a decline in oil related commodity prices of over thirty percent and bulk oil sales declined in the third quarter.

The $549,949 of net income and comprehensive income in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was due to better gross margins attributable to a continuing higher percentage of packaged oil sales versus bulk oil sales. Profitability also benefitted from the positive impact of the foreign exchange gains.

The foreign exchange gain or loss arises primarily as a result of inventory purchases and sales, to the extent that they are denominated in US currency.

Sunora's cash balances increased $967,992 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase since December 31, 2014 resulted primarily from higher income for the nine month period, the reduction of inventory, and a decrease in accounts receivable affect slightly by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during that period. Sunora’s cash balance increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to an increase in net income, a decrease in inventory and decrease in receivables offset partly by decrease accounts payable and accrued liabilities during that period

Sunora maintains strong relationships with a number of strategically located customers internationally and in North America. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on international economies including Asia, and has met this increased demand with Canadian manufactured food oil products. Sunora operations can be impacted by geopolitical situations that may restrict delivery, but this has not significantly hindered operations to date. As the middle class in these emerging economies demands higher quality and healthier foods, Sunora is well positioned to meet additional demand.

The financial position of the Company is strong relative to its financial requirements and commitments. Management has maintained a conservative approach to day‐to‐day operations, monitoring the timing of its inventory turnover closely to ensure it can meet its obligations to suppliers within their credit facilities. Collections from customers are stringently managed such that substantially all receivables at September 30, 2015 were less than 60 days old. Sunora's Current Ratio (Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities) target as set by management is 2.0:1. Including its cash balance of $2,752,138 at September 30, 2015, Sunora's Current Ratio at September 30, 2015 was 4.7:1. The Company has continued to have a strong working capital position. Additionally, the Company has neither debt nor any financial obligations other than to fund its operations.

As you can clearly see from the financials, SNF has more than tripled its cash position over the last couple years, increased assets by 50%, decreased liabilities, and started to establish itself in news markets in Asia. Several news releases were announced in 2015 with regards to an expansion plan and we will likely see the benefits of this in 2016.

MD&A Highlights

The $502,182 of net income and comprehensive income in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $189,073 for the previous year – an increase of 166%, was due to an increase in the average gross margin of 3.7% despite a drop in sales of 18%. These stronger gross margins can be attributed to a higher percentage of sales in packaged products which have higher value added. Another factor that contributed positively to the net income and comprehensive income was foreign exchange gains associated with a weaker Canadian dollar.

Sunora's current assets consist of cash, term deposits, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory. Cash is held for working capital requirements and to fund expansion costs for new markets and customers. A policy of conserving cash is rigorously followed by management in order to sustain operations and not hamper its marketing strategies. Accounts receivable was reduced due to reduced sales and continuing efforts by management to improve the Company’s collections. The decrease in inventories was due to changes in customer demand and stronger controls.
Sunora maintains strong relationships with strategically located customersin North America and overseas. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on the economies in Asia, with a view to meet this increased demand for Canadian manufactured food oil products. Sunora’s operations are impacted by geopolitical situations that may hold up deliveries as was experienced in the fourth quarter of 2015. As the middle class in these emerging economies demands higher quality and healthier foods, Sunora is well positioned to meet additional demand.
Management is actively identifying and analyzing operations that might increase gross margins for the Company. Prospective businesses considered include packagers and suppliers in the food oil industry. With each operation identified, a detailed review and analysis is undertaken by management. Specific focus is currently on packagers with operations in Canada that are looking for a strategic partner to expand international operations.
The financial position of the Company is strong relative to its financial requirements and commitments. Management maintains a conservative approach to day-to-day operations, monitoring the timing of its inventory turnover and meeting its obligations to suppliers within their credit facilities. Collections from customers were stringently managed as that substantially all receivables at December 31, 2015 were less than 60 days old. Sunora's Current Ratio (Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities) target as set by management is 2.0:1. Including its cash balance of $2,620,566 at December 31, 2015, Sunora's Current Ratio at December 31, 2015 was 7.4:1. The Company has continued to have a strong working capital position. Additionally, the Company has neither debt nor any financial obligations other than to fund its operations.

Sunora Q1 summary news release below. It was a profitable quarter, but as I was told by management after year end, Q4/Q1 was affected by some issues in China. However, this has been resolved and as mentioned in the news below, Q2 will be better for sure. Cash & equivalents still went up $360,000 since December 2015 which is huge. I will be posting the breakdown shortly.

International: $248,251 (Last year was $682,925 – Shipping issues for the quarter caused discrepancy)

MD&A Highlights

The $24,971 of net income and comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was lower than the same quarter of 2015. This was primarily as a result of a foreign exchange loss of $82,655, as opposed to a foreign exchange gained $131,013 in the prior year. In addition, sales were slightly lower, and the gross margin declined from the prior year as a result of delivery issues with a copacker.

Sunora's current assets consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory. Cash is held for working capital requirements and to fund expansion costs for new markets and customers. A policy of conserving cash is rigorously followed by management in order to sustain operations and not hamper its marketing strategies. Accounts receivable is in a comparable range to that of December 31, 2015, due to continuing efforts by management to control the Company’s credit and collections. The increase in inventory is due to increased bulk oil purchases in anticipation of future sales.

Sunora's current liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and customer deposits. Accounts payable increased by $467,782 since December 31, 2015, due to increased bulk of oil purchases at the end of this quarter. Nevertheless, Sunora is committed to its policy to manage its trade payables on a current basis and maintain its excellent credit standing.

The Company's target Working Capital Ratio (Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities, which is an indicator of its ability to finance its on-going operations) is 2:1. Current Assets comprise cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory; current liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable. The amounts of accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at a point in time are the direct result of sales and purchases and how the Company manages collections, supplier credit and inventory levels, which in turn is manifested in the available cash. At March 31, 2016, the Working Capital Ratio has declined to 4.4:1 compared to 6.75:1 at December 31, 2015.The Company's business has been managed with a strong working capital position which has enabled the Company to operate without debt. Additionally, the current nature of Sunora's operations has enabled it to expand without making capital investments. Therefore, the Company believes it is in a very favourable position to expand in the future.

The Company operates in the single segment of food oil. Competition is always a significant factor in the food oil industry. The Company determines the geographic location of revenues based on the location of its customers. The geographic categories presented are the United States, Canada and Other; other comprises various regions in South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Russia, Australia and New Zealand.

The Company had an economic dependence on one customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three month period ended March 31, 2015, sales to this customer represented approximately 21% and 13% of the Company's total sales, respectively. Sunora's sales to the United States have recently trended higher in proportion of sales in Canada. Overseas markets are generally continuing to grow and provide greater long term stability to sales. The growth of sales in emerging markets, where awareness of healthy food choices is growing as a result of the expanding middle classes, is a positive trend for Sunora.

Cost of sales consists of purchases of crude and refined oil, freight and custom duties. Sunora achieved a gross margin of 9.4 % in the three months ended March 31, 2016, which varied due to delivery issues with co- packers, compared to 11% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. These margins were within an expected range.

Outlook

Sunora maintains strong relationships with strategically located customers in North America and overseas. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on the economies in Asia, with a view to meet this increased demand for Canadian manufactured food oil products. Sunora’s operations are impacted by geopolitical situations that may hold up deliveries as was experienced in the last quarter of 2015. As the middle class in these emerging economies demands higher quality and healthier foods, Sunora is well positioned to meet additional demand.

Management is actively identifying and analyzing operations that might increase gross margins for the Company. Prospective businesses considered include packagers and suppliers in the food oil industry. With each operation identified, a detailed review and analysis is undertaken by management. Specific focus is currently on packagers with operations in Canada that are looking for a strategic partner to expand international operations. Management is also actively considering possible new products that may benefit from new domestic and international markets. With the continuing improvement in the United States economy and new customers being added in Asia Sunora is well placed to improve its profitability and financial position.

Despite lack of news and Q2 results coming out in 6 weeks, Sunora has been busy promoting the brand throughout North America in a March 2016 article and June 2016 show. Keep in mind that this came out before the Chinese investor purchased 19% of the stock(April 2016) which tells me expansion in Asia has likely increased since then. The Q1 news release even stats that sales are for sure going to be higher in Q2, so only positive notes going forward.

From Q1 news release:

Sunora's Q1 2016 financial results were negatively impacted by a brief slowdown in demand from international customers due to economic restructuring, as China reorients from manufacturing to domestic consumption and from delays in shipments. International sales have trended upward in Q2, with expected additional sales during this period and beyond.

-- Net Income for the period ending June 30, 2016 of $55,615 versus net income of $110,940 for the comparable period ending June 30, 2015; partly the result of internal issues at a co-packer.

Sales $2,835,773
Gross Margin $200,726
Income before Taxes $76,185
Net Income $55,615

​

Sunora's Q2 2016 sales were impacted by a slowing in bulk oil sales in Canada, and partially offset by increased sales to the United States and International locations including China. It is anticipated that sales may increase in the second half of 2016, and the Corporation continues to identify and develop new markets with a specific focus on China.

MD&A Highlights

At June 30, 2016, the Working Capital Ratio was 5.2:1 compared to 7.4:1 at December 31, 2015. The Company's business has been consistently managed with a strong working capital position which has enabled the Company to operate without debt. Additionally, the current nature of Sunora's operations has enabled it to expand without making capital investments. Therefore, the Company believes it is in a very favourable position to expand in the future.

Sunora had lower sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 than the comparative six month period. Sales were somewhat adversely impacted by lower commodity prices for food oil. The $80,586 of net income and comprehensive income in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower than the same period of 2015. This was partly a result of a foreign exchange loss of $53,337, as opposed to a foreign exchange gain of $102,603 in the comparative period. In addition, sales were 7.6% lower, and the gross margin declined from 10.1% to 8.2%. Gross margin was impacted by internal issues at a co-packer.

Accounts payable increased by $381,556 since December 31, 2015, due to increased bulk oil purchases at the end of this quarter. Nevertheless, Sunora is committed to its policy to manage its trade payables on a current basis and maintain its excellent credit standing.

Sunora's sales to the United States have recently trended higher in proportion of sales in Canada. Although overseas markets are generally continuing to grow, international sales were adversely impacted in the six months ended June 30, 2016 by short term conditions. Sales in Canada declined in this six month period compared to the same period last year due to reduced bulk oil shipments in Canada. The growth of sales in emerging markets is due to a trend in greater awareness of healthy food choices in an expanding middle class.

Outlook

Sunora maintains good relationships with customers in North America and overseas. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on the economies in Asia, with a view to meet this increased demand for Canadian manufactured food oil products. Sunora’s operations are impacted by geopolitical situations that may hold up deliveries as was experienced in recent quarters. As the middle class in these emerging economies demands higher quality and healthier foods, Sunora is well positioned to meet additional demand.

Management is actively identifying and analyzing operations that might increase gross margins for the Company. Prospective businesses considered include packagers and suppliers in the food oil industry. With each operation identified, a detailed review and analysis is undertaken by management. Specific focus is currently on packagers with operations in Canada that are looking for a strategic partner to expand international operations. Management is also actively considering possible new products that may benefit from new domestic and international markets.

With the continuing positive momentum in the United States economy and new customers being added in Asia Sunora is well placed for the future.

CBC article with CEO Steve Bank that clearly states the company can only be positively impacted from this experience:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/canola-dispute-china-alberta-1.3740468

Oil producers could benefit
One group that could benefit from those lower prices are domestic crushers, who turn the seeds into oil.

"If there's less seed in China for processors, and there may be somewhat less, it opens up an opportunity for those of us who are exporting canola oil itself," said Steven Bank, the CEO of Sunora Oil, whose second largest market after the U.S. is China.

Sunora unaffected by Chinese canola seed restriction

2016-09-01 05:50 MT - News Release

Mr. Steve Bank reports

SUNORA FOODS MAINTAINS MOMENTUM IN CHINA

Sunora Foods Inc. has provided a clarification on the potential impact on Sunora Foods of the restrictions on the export of canola seed to China. The current concern relates strictly to canola seed and is with regard to the amount of dockage, or foreign material such as weeds, other crops or detritus in the exported material. Sunora is not actively exporting canola seed and would not be impacted in China by any potential restriction on the export of this material.

Sunora exports to China and other Asian jurisdictions are strictly related to canola oil and other food oils. Management continues to develop new sales channels and customers in China and other Southeast Asian countries. The corporation was recently interviewed by CBC News Calgary for input on the potential disruption to canola seed and meal exports.

"If there's less seed in China for processors, and there may be somewhat less, it opens up an opportunity for those of us who are exporting canola oil itself," said Steve Bank, the chief executive officer of Sunora Foods, whose second largest market after the United States is China.

Total Assets: $5,239,051

Customer Deposits: $99,613
Total Liabilities: $1,332,422

Note: Sales in Q4 2015, Q1/Q2 2016 were affected by a co-packer issue. This meant that Sunora Foods were required to find other means of distribution, hence hurting sales and margins during those 9 months. This is now resolved, see MD&A below. As well, sales are up year over year even after co-packer setback.

Q3 Sales - $3,281,156 ($2,451,477 in 2015)
9 Month Sales - $8,804,308 ($8,452,570 in 2015)

Q3 2016 Net Income - $122,872
Q2 2016 Net Income - $55,615
Q1 2016 Net Income - $24,971
Net Income for 2015 - $502,182 (Q4 was a loss of $54,000 due to start of co-packer issue)
Net Income for 2014 - $189,073
(Company was private until 2014)

MD&A Highlights
In the third quarter of 2016, sales increased 15.7% due to an increase in bulk oil sales in comparison to the second quarter. In the second quarter of 2016, sales had increased 5.5% due to some increase in bulk oil sales in comparison to the first quarter. Sales for the first quarter of 2016 were 12.6% higher than the fourth quarter of 2015. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were 2.6% lower than the third quarter of 2015 due to a decrease in overseas sales. 2015 third quarter sales were 24% lower than the second quarter of 2015; second quarter 5 sales were 18% higher than first quarter of 2015.

Sunora's sales to the United States have recently trended higher in proportion to sales in Canada. Overseas markets are generally continuing to grow, although international sales were adversely impacted in the first six months by short term conditions. Sales in Canada declined in this nine month period compared to the same period last year due to reduced bulk oil shipments in Canada. The growth of sales in emerging markets is due to a trend in greater awareness of healthy food choices in an expanding middle class. Overseas sales are continuing to grow.
Sunora had 4.2% higher sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 than the comparative nine month period. Sales were somewhat adversely impacted by delivery issues with a key co-packer. The $203,458 of net income and comprehensive income in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 63% lower than the same period of 2015. This was primarily a result of a foreign exchange loss of $45,823, as opposed to a foreign exchange gain of $165,229 in the comparative period. Gross margin declined from 11.2% to 8.9% at least partly because of delivery issues with a co-packer.

Cost of sales consists of purchases of crude and refined oil, packaging, freight and custom duties. Sunora achieved a gross margin of 10% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 12.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 8.9% compared to 11.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These margins were impacted by delivery issues with a co-packer.

The Company's target Working Capital Ratio (Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities, which is an indicator of its ability to finance its on-going operations) is 2:1. Current Assets comprise cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and income tax recoverable; Current Liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable. The amounts of accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at a point in time are the direct result of sales and purchases and how the Company manages collections, supplier credit and inventory levels, which in turn is manifested in the available cash. At September 30, 2016, the Working Capital Ratio was 3.8:1 compared to 7.4:1 at December 31, 2015. The Company's business has been consistently managed with a strong working capital position which has enabled the Company to operate without debt. Additionally, the current nature of Sunora's operations has enabled it to expand without making capital investments. Therefore, the Company believes it is in a very favourable position to expand in the future.

Outlook

Sunora maintains good relationships with customers in North America and overseas. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on the economies in Asia, with a view to meet this increased demand for Canadian manufactured food oil products.

With the approval of CETA today (Trade agreement between Canada and the European Union), Sunora Foods will no longer have any obstacles entering any of the European countries if they so choose to. Management has been opposed to Europe for years because of the very high tariffs and other trade barriers. These will soon cease to exist, thus giving the company more potential customers around the world.

With the recent conclusion of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership ("CPTPP") discussions, Sunora has enhanced marketing opportunities to increase sales for Sunora branded products, particularly its canola oil. The CPTPP countries have 495 million people and account for CAD $13.5 trillion or 13.5% of global gross domestic product ("GDP"). The government of Canada estimates that this agreement will benefit Canada by boosting domestic GDP by CAD $4.2 billion.

Sunora has made shipments to the following countries which are part of the CPTPP: Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and Vietnam.

MD&A Highlights
Sunora’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 were positively impacted by an increase of 13.9% over the previous year due to sales growth in the United States. The net comprehensive loss in the year ended December 31, 2017 of $135,795, compared to income $282,794 for the previous year, was principally due to the claim settled in quarter 2 of 2017. A foreign exchange loss of $60,100 was also incurred in 2017 compared to $33,456 in 2016. In addition, the total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 declined by 12% from previous year despite the 13.9% increase in sales. The lower total gross margin can be attributed to a lower percentage of sales in packaged products that have a higher value added.
On December 31, 2015, a statement of claim was filed against the Corporation by one of its vendors who alleged that Sunora wilfully did not accept deliveries of soybean oil pursuant to a contractual arrangement. The vendor claimed USD $506,798 in damages relating to losses allegedly suffered. Sunora denied any responsibility for such a claim. However, subsequent to June 30, 2017, on the recommendation of legal counsel, management settled the claim for CDN $390,000 which was completed in late August 2017. The claim settlement comprises the full cost of the claim and the related legal fees which were accrued in the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and is reflected in the year ended December 31, 2017.
Sunora's sales to the United States have recently trended higher in comparison to sales in Canada. Overseas markets are continuing to grow and provide greater long term stability to sales. The growth of sales in emerging markets, with growing awareness of healthy food choices by the expanding middle classes, is a positive trend for Sunora. Overseas sales in the fourth quarter generally increase because of the timing of the New Year celebrations in Asia.
Sunora has increased sales over the years due to its marketing efforts. Sunora has established strong relationships with sales staff and given them more flexibility and support as mutual trust has developed in these relationships. In North America, Sunora has outstanding commissioned brokers who have introduced new customers to the Company. Sales to independent distributors have also grown for Sunora, mostly in countries overseas, which has given Sunora entry into many foreign markets.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2017 were 14.6% higher than the third quarter of 2017 due to the increase in U.S. and overseas sales. Third quarter sales were 7.3% higher than the second quarter. Second quarter sales were 9% lower than first quarter
Cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2017 was 14.8% higher than third quarter due to increased sales. Third quarter cost of sales was 9.3% higher than the second quarter due increased sales. Second quarter cost of sales was 10% lower than the first quarter due to 9% decrease in sales. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2017 was 6.2% compared to 6.4% for the third quarter. Second quarter gross margin was 8.0% compared to 6.7% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
General and administration expenses were higher in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to various charges recorded at year end, including audit and accounting fees and profit sharing bonus. Net income for the fourth quarter was comparable to the third quarter. As a result of the settlement of a legal claim in the second quarter, there was a loss in the second quarter and it was substantially down from the first quarter.
Outlook
Sunora maintains strong relationships with strategically located customers in North America and overseas. These relationships continue to drive demand for food oil products from Canada, with Sunora well positioned to meet existing and additional demand. Management has focused on increasing visibility in emerging markets, with a specific focus on the economies in Asia, with a view to meet this increased demand for Canadian manufactured food oil products. Sunora’s operations, however, may be impacted by geo-political situations that can hold up sales as was experienced in the fourth quarter of 2015. As the middle class in these emerging economies demands higher quality and healthier foods, Sunora is well positioned to meet additional demand.
Management is actively identifying and analyzing operations that might increase sales and profitability for the Company. Prospective businesses considered include packagers and suppliers in the food oil industry. With each operation identified, a detailed review and analysis is undertaken by management. Management is also actively considering possible new products that may benefit from new domestic and international markets. With continuing strength in the United States economy and new customers being added in Asia, Sunora is well positioned to grow and increase its sales.
