AUSCRETE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
HISTORY
Auscrete Corporation ("the Company") was formed as an enterprise to take advantage of technologies developed for the construction of affordable, thermally efficient and structurally superior housing. This "GREEN" product is the culmination of design and development since the early 1980's. The company's Registration Statement outlines the result of the amalgamation of various material development stages, taking an idea to a product and further developing that product to address an ongoing problem in the world's largest marketplace, the quest for affordable, efficient and enduring housing. Auscrete's structures are monetarily highly competitive. A turnkey house, ready to move in sells for around $95-100 per square foot. That is very low in today's market but is brought about by Auscrete's ability to manufacture large panels in mass production format. The house is virtually "fastened" together on site to produce an attractive site built home, a home that will stay where it is put through all kinds of adverse weather and age conditions. It will not burn, is not affected by bugs, termites or rot, it saves extensively on energy costs and has very low maintenance needs.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes. According to Topic 740, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end.
For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations must be deferred and then they may be written off over a 180-month period. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized for federal tax purposes. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets since there is no assurance of future taxable income.
The Company utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Company's policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred. The Company has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring accrual at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. There was $70 cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and $10 as of December 31, 2013.
11
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from licensing our technology is recognized over the term of the license agreement. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred. Revenues earned for the period is solely from maintenance services performed. The Company recognizes these sales once delivery time is confirmed to the customer.
COST OF SALES
Amounts that will be recorded as cost of sales relate to direct expenses incurred in order to fulfill orders of our products. Such costs are recorded as incurred. Our cost of sales will consist primarily of the cost of product; labor, selling costs and the cost of G&A expenses.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and Equipment was stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives. The useful lives of the assets are as follows: equipment 7-years, vehicles 7-years, and buildings 30-years. Additions and improvements are capitalized while routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the historically recorded asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to other income or expense.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When these events occur, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's products will continue. Either of these could result in the future impairment of long-lived assets. Estimates of fair value are determined through various techniques, including discounted cash flow models and market approaches, as considered necessary. As a result of this evaluation, an asset impairment charge was made, which resulted in the reduction of the carrying amount of certain equipment, vehicle and property of $130,933 in 2012. (See Note 4 for further discussion.)
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no outstanding, dilutive common stock equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenues from construction related operations to date. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $407,879 as of December 31, 2014.
To the extent that the Company's capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company's future financing requirements other than the minimal interim funds necessary to continue the company's very limited financing operations.
No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company and raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014- 10 ("ASU2014-10"), Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The objective of the amendments in this Update is to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity at risk. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively.
These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. The amendment eliminating the exception to the sufficiency-of-equity-at-risk criterion for development stage entities in paragraph 810-10-15-16 should be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods therein. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and does not expect this adoption to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15 ("ASU 2014-15"), Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The objective of the amendments in this Update is to provide guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if "conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern." The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carry forwards in the financial statements.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
Based on the level of historical taxable losses and projections of future taxable income (losses) over the periods in which the deferred tax assets can be realized, management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these tax deductible differences. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets as follows:
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $407,000 which will begin to expire in the tax year 2033. The Company may have experienced control changes under IRC 382, which has not been fully analyzed and could affect the NOL availability.

Reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and the expected tax benefit using the federal statutory rate of 34% and state statutory rate of 6.9% for a total effective rate of 40.9% for 2014 and 2013.
Based on the Company's current financial and operational situation, management determined that it is more likely than not that the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014 will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Consequently, the Company has established a full valuation allowance for its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014.
The Company adopted the uncertain tax position disclosure in accordance with ASC 740 and has not recognized any material increase in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as a result of the implementation. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change within the next twelve months. The Company will continue to classify income tax penalties and interest if any, as part of interest and other expenses in its statements of operations. The Company has incurred no interest or penalties as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and Oregon State jurisdictions. These filings are subject to a three year statute of limitations unless the returns have not been filed at which point the statute of limitations becomes indefinite. No filings are currently under examination. The Company is at least two years behind in its tax filings. No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at year end. Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
NOTE - 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2014. The company attained listing with the OTC Bulletin Board on February 20, 2015 under the symbol "ASCK". The company applied for DTC Registration on March 16 and is currently awaiting finalization of that registration. To finance the cost of DTC Registration ($12,000), the company issued a total of 600,000 shares at value $0.02 on March 9, 2015 to Globex Transfer, LLC of Deltona, Florida.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our principal executive officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include:
- maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
- provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
There are no other disclosures at this time.

Until 1991, he worked through the ranks to achieve Region III L.E. Supervisor status as Fish and Game Agent III at the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife.

His leadership and problem solving ability make him well qualified to serve on the Board of Directors of this corporation.
William Beers – Director, Age 77
Mr. Beers has lived in Sherman County since 1956 and lives with his wife, Linda in the City of Rufus. He is 77 and recently became semi-retired and retired from his position as a councilman for the City of Rufus where he served for a number of years.

Mr. Beers' experience in business management stretches back decades. He has owned and managed a number of business including a truck stop service station and restaurant, all of which he sold when they were operating profitably and are still operating today. Around 10 years ago and at retirement age, he and his wife Linda purchased the Hi-Way Market general store and deli in Rufus and shared the business and personnel management responsibilities. Seeking retirement, they leased the business to their employees two years ago.
Code of Ethics
Since we have only three persons serving as executive officers and directors and because we have minimal operations, we have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our board of directors will revisit this issue in the future to determine if adoption of a code of ethics is appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC, and comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations.
Corporate Governance
We are a smaller reporting company with minimal operations and only three directors and officers. As a result, we do not have a standing nominating committee for directors, nor do we have an audit committee with an audit committee financial expert serving on that committee. Our entire board of directors acts as our nominating and audit committee.
