INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members

Asphalt, Inc., LLC

dba Lone Star Paving Company

Austin, Texas

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Asphalt, Inc., LLC dba Lone Star Paving Company (the ‘‘Company’’), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Asphalt, Inc., LLC dba Lone Star Paving Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Asphalt, Inc., LLC dba Lone Star Paving Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Asphalt, Inc., LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.


In performing an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Asphalt, Inc., LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Asphalt, Inc., LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Supplementary Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 23 - 28 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The supplementary information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Asphalt, Inc., LLC (the “Company”) was organized in the State of Texas on September 18, 2013 and began operations on November 6, 2014 (date of inception of business activities). The Company is primarily engaged in highway and road paving, maintenance and repair of parking lots in Central and South Texas. The Company is also engaged in manufacturing hotmix and mining limestone for internal uses and sale to third parties.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pelican Asphalt Company, LLC and Lone Star Materials & Asphalt, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Operating cycle

The Company’s work is performed under quantity pricing, fixed-price contracts, and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions. These contracts are primarily performed under subcontractor agreements. The length of the Company’s contracts varies but is typically less than six months. In accordance with industry practice, contract-related assets and liabilities that are realizable or payable over periods in excess of one year, but within the Company’s normal operating cycle, are recorded as current assets and liabilities.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash consists primarily of cash on deposit.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Contracts receivable

Contracts receivable are recorded on construction contracts and include billed and unbilled amounts for services provided to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Billed and unbilled amounts for which payment is contingent on anything other than the passage of time are included in contract assets and contract liabilities on a net basis at the individual contract level.

Retainage for which the Company has an unconditional right to payment that is subject only to the passage of time is included in contracts receivable.

Allowance for credit losses

Financial assets, which potentially subject the Company to credit losses, consist primarily of contract receivables and contract assets. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Such allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditions in the construction industry, and the financial stability of its customers. Amounts are considered past due based on the billing date and are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously written off, are included in determining the necessary reserve at the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses was $600,000 at December 31, 2023.

Inventory

Inventories consist primarily of stockpiles of rock, sand and gravel, liquid asphalt, supplies, and other materials. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method.

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from three to forty years. Significant expenditures, which extend the useful lives of existing assets, are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Business combinations

The Company records business acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combination which requires the acquisition purchase price to be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over these estimated fair values is recorded to goodwill. Significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, are used to determine the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration transferred as well as the useful lives of long-lived assets acquired. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill based on changes to initial estimates and assumptions. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Goodwill

The Company has elected the private company accounting alternative to amortize its goodwill on a straight line basis over a 10 year period in accordance with the FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. If an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the Company may be below its carrying value, the Company evaluates the goodwill for impairment. During the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify an event or circumstance that indicated the fair value of the Company is below its carrying value.

Long-lived assets - impairments and disposals

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment provisions were recorded by the Company during the year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Operating leases

The Company leases land and equipment under various operating leases with terms exceeding one year, exclusive of optional renewal periods, and accounts for these leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). This guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with terms greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. Whether an arrangement contains a lease is evaluated at the inception of the arrangement. The Company estimates its lease liability at the present value of future rent payments required under a lease using its incremental borrowing rate for a term approximating the lease term, exclusive of optional term extensions or terminations, in accordance with a policy election available to privately held companies under the guidance. The Company’s right-of-use asset initially is equal to its lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received or lease payments made. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of a lease. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company does not lease any assets under finance leases. Leases of 12 months or less are not included in the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Rent expense for such leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Revenue and cost recognition

FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) requires entities to assess the products or services promised in contracts with customers at contract inception to determine the appropriate unit at which to record revenue, which is referred to as a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the products or services.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:

 

   

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

   

Determine the contract price;

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

   

recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The Company’s performance obligations for contracts with customers for asphalt sales do not meet the criteria to be recognized over time, therefore, those performance obligations are recognized at a point-in-time and the related revenue is recognized only when the performance obligation is complete, generally upon delivery to the customer. Revenue from the sale of asphalt is recognized upon delivery of the asphalt to the customer’s transportation unit at the asphalt plant.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue and cost recognition (continued)

The Company’s paving contract costs and related revenues are generally recognized over time as work progresses due to continuous transfer to the customer. Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the cost-to-cost method. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, equipment rental, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the year in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the year in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are charged against revenues when realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

The asset on the accompanying balance sheet, Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability on the accompanying balance sheet, Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Advertising expense

The Company accounts for advertising costs as expenses in the year in which they are incurred. Advertising expense for the year ending December 31, 2023 was $246,889 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Income taxes

The Company is a limited liability company, and such does not incur income taxes directly. Accordingly, all income and expenses flow directly to the members for Federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no provision or liability for current or deferred federal income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements. However, the Company is subject to state tax based on the Company’s taxable gross margin.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes (continued)

The FASB ASC, 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a more likely than not threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions therefore, no adjustments were made to the consolidated financial statements.

Sales tax

The Company records sales and other taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities as accounts receivable with a corresponding offset to sales tax payable. The Company removes sales tax payable balances from the balance sheet as cash is collected from the customer and remitted to the tax authority.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and contract receivables. The Company maintains its cash balances in highly rated financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss relating to cash and cash equivalents in these accounts.

The Company is engaged primarily in highway and road paving, maintenance and repair of parking lots in the Central and South Texas region. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to contract receivables are with property management companies, construction companies and developers. Liens are filed on properties when necessary to assure payment. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral.

One customer represented 13% of the Company’s total revenues at December 31, 2023. No customer represented more than 10% of total contract receivables.

The Company purchases a substantial portion of materials from third-party vendors. As of December 31, 2023, two vendors represented 31% of the Company’s total accounts payable. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after December 31, 2023, the date of the most recent consolidated balance sheet date, through February 14, 2024, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. See specific subsequent events disclosed in Note 16.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 326) which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift form the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 were trade accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements.

ACQUISITION

In November of 2023, the Company completed the asset purchase of an entity engaged in the business of producing, transporting, distributing and selling construction aggregates. The total purchase price was $29,482,624 which was paid in cash. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the Company’s efforts to expand operations in Texas. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired, but the company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Accordingly, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired based on their fair value at the acquisition date which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as follows.

Preliminary allocation of purchase price:

 

Inventory

   $ 2,804,623  

Equipment

     5,667,500  

Land

     17,849,000  

Goodwill

     3,161,501  
  

 

 

 
   $ 29,482,624  
  

 

 

 

In October 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of an entity engaged in asphalt milling and construction in central Texas. The total purchase price was $13,230,807, which after the payoff of accrued expenses and loans, was issued in a note to the seller. The goodwill of $8,898,352 arising from the acquisition was adjusted by the Company to $9,248,352 after a reevaluation was performed on the value of the entity acquired and consideration to be paid for the acquired assets. The consideration to be paid was adjusted by the Company through an increase in the principal value of the note issued to the seller.

In November 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interest in a logistics company, creating a wholly owned subsidiary. The total purchase price was $21,007,499, which after the payoff of accrued expenses and loans, was issued in a note to the sellers as well as additional debt assumed. The goodwill of $3,724,621 arising from the acquisition was adjusted by the Company to $6,165,480 after a reevaluation was performed on the value of the entity acquired and consideration to be paid for the acquired assets. The consideration to be paid was adjusted by the Company through an increase in the principal value of the notes issued to the sellers.
