Sunora Foods Inc. Due Diligence Report Symbol: SNF.V Price: $0.12 Common Shares: 42,254,332 Insider Holdings: 32 million (75.7%, CEO owns 30 million alone) website: http://www.sunora.com/ December 2015 Presentation: http://www.sunora.com/assets/docs/pp...1231095233.pdf February 2016 Radio Interview: http://thestockradio.com/tsr-audio-interview-steve-bank-ceo-of-sunora-foods-tsx-v-snf-2630.html Most Recent Financial Results (Ending September 30th 2015) Assets Cash: $2,752,139 Accounts Receivable: $1,163,447 Inventory: $486,377 Prepaid Expenses: $4,501 Deferred Tax: $150,062 Total Assets: $4,556,526 Liabilities Accounts Payable: $819,939 Income Tax: $120,165 Total Liabilities: $940,104 Quarterly Earnings Summary: 2014 Total - $189,073 2015 Q1 - $189,073 2015 Q2 - $110,940 2015 Q3 - $198,771 Revenue After 9 Months Sales - $8,452,570 Gross Margin - $945,250 Total Costs - $211,985 Income Before Tax - $733,265 Net Income - $549,949 or $0.013c EPS 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.

Thanks Gil! It didn't take too long either and I guess it's much cleaner now with some of the old clutter from HSM gone.
Some cheap stock for sale before year end results next week. After that Chinese company took a 19% stake in the company, it tells me that their expansion to China is looking good.

Some generous sellers out there giving stock away at 11c to 12c. From the last quarters and recent insider acquisition, pretty sure the company will have another good profitable quarter and then Q1 next month to boot. No reason why we shouldn't be trading in the 20's by June if there's two more $150K+ net incomes quarters coming out. That would take total earnings of 5 quarters to $1 million and over 2c EPS.

Sunora Foods Inc. Year End Results (December 31, 2015) Price: $0.12 Common Shares: 42,254,332 Insider Holdings: 31 million (73% as per Sedi) April 2016 Presentation: http://www.sunora.com/assets/docs/ppt/sunora-foods-ppt-apr-2016-20160429102019.pdf February 2016 Radio interview: http://thestockradio.com/tsr-audio-interview-steve-bank-ceo-of-sunora-foods-tsx-v-snf-2630.html Financials Assets Cash: $2,620,566 (2014 - $1,784,147) Accounts Receivable: $920,001 Inventory: $497,798 Prepaid Expenses: $32,826 Deferred Tax Asset: $147,974 Total Assets: $4,219,165 (2014 - $4,139,409) Liabilities Accounts Payable: $468,226 Income Tax: $66,638 Customer Deposits: $13,066 Total Liabilities: $547,930 (2014 - $1,072,936) 2015 Sales Revenue: $10,815,959 Gross Margin: $1,157,932 Net Income: $502,182 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.
P/E shows at under 9X which is pretty low for a cash rich, no debt, EPS growth story. Everyone needs food products, and when you sell internationally, that adds more merit to your story.

Sunora Foods Inc. Q1 2016 Results (Ending March 31st 2016) NOTE: Keep in mind that Q4 2015 and Q1 2016 had some one time issues with regards to logistics, back-orders and currency fluctuations. Otherwise, as stated in the news today, Q2 results and beyond will be much better. Price: $0.12 Common Shares: 42,254,332 Insider Holdings: 72% As per SEDI Financial Assets Cash: $2,981,812 - $0.07c a share just in cash Accounts Receivable: $989,160 Inventory: $607,523 Prepaid Expenses: $18,419 Deferred Tax: $147,974 Total Assets: $4,744,888 Liabilities Accounts Payable: $936,008 Income Tax: $48,940 Customer Deposits: $63,734 Total Liabilities: $1,048,682 Q1 2016 Net Income: $24,871 2015 Total Net Income: $502,182 2014 Total Net Income: $189,073 Breakdown in sales distribution for Q1(in MD&A) USA: $2,167,415 (Last year was $1,785,591) – Increase by $381,824 Canada: $235,713 (Last year was $275,451) – decrease by $39,738 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.
