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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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 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.

 

LOGO


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 21 - 26 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.

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 subsidiary, Pelican Asphalt Company, 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)

Contract receivables

Contract receivables, including retainage receivables, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts 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. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $500,000 at December 31, 2021.

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 ten years. Significant expenditures, which extend the useful lives of existing assets, are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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, 2021, the Company did not identify an event or circumstance that indicated the fair value ofthe 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)

Revenue and cost recognition

ASC Topic 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.

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue and cost recognition (continued)

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, 2021 was $337,502.

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 financial statements. However, the Company is subject to state tax based on the Company’s taxable gross margin.

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 believes all of its tax positions to be highly certain. No adjustments were made to the 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. A single customer represented 20% of total revenues in 2021, and a single customer represented 11% of the Company’s total contract receivables at December 31, 2021. Loss of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Company.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after December 31, 2021, the date of the most recent consolidated balance sheet date, through February 9, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company does not believe any subsequent events have occurred that would require further disclosure or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

As part of the federal government’s response to the economic impacts of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted which, among other measures, provided for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). In April 2020, the Company received a PPP loan in the amount of $5,694,000. The Company has accounted for the loan according to ASC Topic 470- Debt. The loan accrues interest at a rate of 1% and has an original maturity date of two years which can be extended to five years by mutual agreement of the Company and the lender. Payments are deferred during the Deferral Period. The Deferral Period is the period beginning on the date of this Note, April 16, 2020, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral Expiration Date). Any amounts not forgiven under the Program will be payable in equal installments of principal plus any interest owed on the payment date from the Deferral Expiration Date through the Maturity Date. Additionally, any accrued interest that is not forgiven under the Program will be due on the First Payment Date, which is the 15th of the month following the month in which the Deferral Expiration Date occurs.

Under the requirements of the CARES Act, as amended by the PPP Flexibility Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, proceeds may only be used for the Company’s eligible payroll costs (with salary capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee), or other eligible costs related to rent, mortgage interest utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures, in each case paid during the 24-week period following disbursement. The PPP Loan may be fully forgiven if (i) proceeds are used to pay eligible payroll costs or other eligible costs and (ii) full-time employee headcount and salaries are either maintained during the 24-week period following disbursement or restored by December 31, 2020. If not maintained or restored, any forgiveness of the PPP Loan would be reduced in accordance with the regulations that were issued by the SBA. All the proceeds of the PPP Loan were used by the Company to pay eligible payroll costs and the Company maintained its headcount and otherwise complied with the terms of the PPP Loan.

The Company received notification of forgiveness from the SBA on June 10, 2021. Loan forgiveness of $5,694,000 is reflected in Other income in the accompanying consolidated income statement.
