AUSCRETE Corp - Quarter Report: 2014 March (Form 10-Q)

AUSCRETE CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies of Auscrete Corporation is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

History – Auscrete Corporation was incorporated in Wyoming on December 31, 2009. The Company was organized for the purpose of establishing a system for making insulating cellular light-weight concrete wall and roof panels. The company can produce affordable housing that is highly energy efficient with excellent sound suppression qualities. 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.

Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act – Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can elect to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, as a result, our financial statements may not he comparable to companies that comply with the public company effective dates.

Development Stage Company– The Company is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 915 related to Development Stage Entities. The Company qualifies as a development stage company as it has not generated significant revenues. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.

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 change, which resulted in the reduction of the carrying amount of certain equipment, vehicle and property of $0 in 2013 and $130,933 in 2012. (See Note 3 for further discussion).

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.

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 are no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014.

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 operations to date, and still meets the requirements of a development stage company. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $366,101 as of March 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.

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.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Current income taxes are based on the year’s income taxable for Federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and Equipment has been subjected to impairment as follows:

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

Common Stock:

The Company issued 675,000 shares for assets purchased during the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 common shares at no par value, of which 1,743,500 shares are issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014.

NOTE 5 - 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.

For the period ended March 31, 2014 no income has not generated positive cash flow. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Date of Management Evaluation

Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2014, the date of which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Readers of this discussion are advised that the discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Registrant (including related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this discussion may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect Registrant's current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of Registrant, and do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Registrant has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or words of similar meaning.

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for housing, the availability of prospective buyers; adverse changes in Registrant's real estate and construction market; including, among other things, competition with other manufacturers, risks of real estate development and acquisitions; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.

Results of Operations

As at March 31, 2014, the Company had not commenced manufacturing operations. Therefore there were no operational changes from the last financials of December 31, 2013.

Currently the Company still has the ability to obtain immediate contracts for 7 structures (houses) but will be unable to commence until some financing is in place. Additionally, the Company have been offered 2 letters of intent from 2 developers for the supply of minimum 100 houses and 30 houses over 3-5 years. Both of the housing estates will be completed in early 2014 so construction can begin in 2014 .

Overview

Auscrete Corporation 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 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 $90-95 per square foot. That is very competitive in today's market but is brought about by Auscrete's ability to manufacture large panels in mass production format. The house is very quickly constructed 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 termites or rot, it saves extensively on energy costs and has very low maintenance needs.

Financing

Auscrete Corporation, currently an unlisted Wyoming public company was incorporated on December 31, 2009 and became effective with the SEC on August 16, 2012. It was established to finance an expansion of a current pilot facility operated by the founders in Rufus, OR. The company has enlisted the services of a registered broker-dealer and market maker, who has applied with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to have the common stock eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and to act as Market Maker. The company will execute its Initial Offering as a "penny stock" at $0.30 per share to raise $3 million. These funds will enable the company to construct a factory campus on the Rufus, Oregon Industrial Estate to meet the commencement and ongoing financial needs of the company.

Use of Funds

Marketing

Principal marketing efforts will be initially aimed at leveraging specific contacts and relationships that have developed over the last 5 years since the inception of the founders pilot plant. It is intended to take an experienced sales person on board who will have the luxury of dealing with existing contracts and contacts.

At this point in time, the company has available contracts for the immediate supply of houses and other structures (apartment block etc.) valued at over $800,000 but also has available letters of intent from a developer and from a contractor to supply some 130 plus houses to their housing estates over the next few years. Delivery will be paced at the rate of sales but is expected to initially be in excess of 30 units per year. Auscrete's product is also extremely suitable for the construction of commercial and industrial structures. Company marketing will explore the commercial world for applications and it is believed that such construction will become a large part of the company's future direction.

Financial Projections

The company is projecting first year sales of $ 5 million escalating from there once the new campus is up and running. At that rate, there is already some 3+ years of sales at hand. The typical structure will be a home in the 1,100 - 2,000 sq. ft. range that will sell to the contractor or developer for around $110-200,000. Obviously, the company will look to increase output to meet the demand and expects to do this through internal financing. The typical margin is around 20% and the company does not expect to incur first year losses. The existing pilot facility can manage output (although at a considerable lesser rate than projections for the new plant) until the new campus facility is complete and has commenced operations.

Operations Management

Operations will resume at the existing leased pilot plant immediately upon minimum level funding availability. When the new Fabrication Building and Production Building have been completed at the industrial site, production will be moved there. The Auscrete Team will comprise of a minimal tiered management structure that enables control and knowledge to be firmly at the hands of senior management ensuring rapid and simplified direct reporting.

Upon commencement of Auscrete's activity, under control of the President will be marketing, manufacturing operations, design architecture and engineering, administration and safety compliance. Additionally, there is a construction manager that will oversee Auscrete's own construction activities as well as liaise with contractors and developers.

Operations

Design and Engineering will prepare new design concepts and adapt customer's designs, either residential or commercial, to the Auscrete style of construction as well as preparing all drawings for manufacturing on the production floor. Manufacturing will involve the use of initially 22 hydraulically operated casting tables with each table able to produce 5 panels per 2 weeks. This allows for the concrete to cure adequately enabling removal from the table. It is then taken to the finishing area where it is prepared for delivery and shipping.

The construction manager will be responsible for liaising with contractors, developers and other customers to ensure the satisfactory completion of their contract. As well, the company will have its own construction division that will not conflict with other contractors but will enable the company the ability to carry out construction operations where no alternative exists. The construction manager will oversee these operations.

Founder's Development Activities to Date

Auscrete's CEO and founder, John Sprovieri, possessed certain proprietary technology in cellular lightweight concrete manufacturing that has been assigned to the corporation. He has applied his engineering and marketing expertise to develop and promote products under the product name, Auscrete Cellular Concrete ("ACC"). ACC is the culmination of the refinements made to a technology developed in Australia in the mid 1980's. The Australian product has been used in many parts of the world in construction, and John has further developed it in the US by creating a thermally efficient building system. The process enables infusion of millions of tiny air bubbles into a special inert concrete mix enabling the creation of a lightweight product without sacrificing strength or structural integrity. Since commencing re-development of the basic technology almost nine years ago, John has refined and modified the basic ACC formula utilizing various bubble producing machines to produce the product currently usable in Auscrete"s building construction.

A number of specialized machines have been fabricated for the manufacturing of ACC including machinery that can produce various sized bubbles, hydraulically operated casting beds, concrete batching plant, materials handling equipment, specialized finishing machines and a "Hot Box" materials thermal testing cabinet that gives thermal "R" ratings of materials to ASTM specifications. Additionally, many sample panels have been produced for testing and for the construction of structures. At the outset and putting the ACC technology to practical use, Mr. Sprovieri produced a multi user rest room facility for the city park in Wasco, Oregon three years ago. The construction of the restroom facility provided valuable feedback which helped Mr. Sprovieri refine the manufacturing and construction process. Since then there have been other development structures like the 2,500 sq. ft. home and an electronic control building for the Wind Turbine Power industry.

The current pilot plant facility is a previous service station leased from the city. The outer driveway and back areas serve as the foundation for the two major casting tables, panel storage and concrete batching plant, with its 35-ton capacity cement silo. The office is the service station office and the mechanical workshop serves as the fabrication area for the manufacture of rebar cage frames. The plant is able to produce up to 6 wall panels per week from the large casting beds, based on the capacity of the current equipment.

Future Strategy

Developers and contractors will offer the homes as complete ready constructed site built units on suitable land. They will not be offered under the banner of such categories as 'pre-fabricated' or 'factory built' homes. They are just plain good value masonry homes built of a time proven product, concrete. The company is establishing its expanded operations and manufacturing facility in the Industrial Estate area of Rufus, Oregon. Rufus is a small city about 110 miles east of Portland. Construction of phase 1 of the plant should take 5-6 months. The advantage of Rufus is it is located on 2 main highways, I-84 east/west and I-97 north/south. The location will help considerably with the delivery of the pre-cast panels initially to the Northwest area and will also simplify the delivery of raw materials to the facility. It is anticipated that in the initial year the company will be able to produce enough panel sets for the construction of over 30 homes.

Auscrete can economically deliver whole house panel sets as far away as Arizona or Alberta, Canada. However, with a planned future facility to be set up in Central California, further efficiencies will be achieved by servicing a fast emerging market in this above average (for affordable housing) growth area. Additionally, a plant in Central California could quite easily address the Arizona market once the market recovery in that area has taken effect. The company plans on selling most of its output to developers, contractors and builders who will purchase the complete set of wall, roof and interior panels from Auscrete and use their own construction crew to complete the house.

In Conclusion

Auscrete Corporation is beyond Research and Development. Its cellular concrete construction products are time tested and proven to produce results. The expansion of operations is only dependent upon financing and the company can produce completed and chargeable goods within days of commencement with its fully equipped and at ready pilot plant. This puts the company in an excellent position, particularly given the fact that there are orders for goods to be worked on immediately.
