SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements in this annual report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When we use the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "should", "may", "plans", "projects", "will", or similar expressions, or the negative of these words, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the following subjects are forward-looking by their nature:
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.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company 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 and is 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 consumer 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 $100-$110 per square foot. That is very competitive in today's market but is brought about by Auscrete's ability to manufacture large building products in mass production format. The house is constructed on site to produce an attractive site-built home, a durable home that will combat all kinds of adverse weather and age conditions. It will not burn, is not affected by termites or rot, its thermal efficiency saves extensively on energy costs, has extreme longevity and has very low maintenance needs.
Founder's Development Activities to Date
Auscrete's CEO and founder, John Sprovieri, possessed certain proprietary technology in lighter-weight concrete manufacturing that has been acquired by the corporation. He has applied his engineering and marketing expertise to develop and promote products under the product name, AuscreteHomes. These products are 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 Mr. Sprovieri has further developed it in the US by creating a highly thermally efficient building system. The
4
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 twelve years ago, Mr. Sprovieri has refined and modified the basic insulating formula utilizing various bubble aggregate producing machines to manufacture the product currently usable in Auscrete's building construction.
A number of specialized machines have been fabricated for the manufacturing of Auscrete’s product including machinery that can produce and infuse various sized bubble aggregates, product specific 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 Company’s technology to practical use, Auscrete Corporation has produced many and varied housing and commercial buildings.
Future Strategy
Auscrete Corporation intends to position itself as a major supplier in the affordable housing market. Housing is generally considered "affordable" when its cost does not exceed 30 percent of the median family income in a given area. In many parts of the country, housing costs have shown signs of adversely affecting workers, corporations and local economies. Yet still the availability of affordable housing is becoming increasingly scarce. The company is offering a product that not only makes housing affordable, but also offers some luxuries as well, such as standard heat pump/air conditioning that would not be available in other houses at such comparable pricing. By constructing with the Auscrete Building System, those luxuries will result in lower cost utilities and a comfortable 'feel' to the living environment, as can be achieved with a product offering excellent thermal and soundproofing qualities as well as superb fire resistance.
Developers and contractors will offer the homes as complete, turnkey ready constructed site-built dwellings. Even though they are technologically advanced, they are just plain good value masonry homes built of a time proven product, concrete.
The company has acquired 5 acres of Industrial Land with option on an additional 5 acres for a manufacturing facility in the Industrial Estate area of Goldendale, WA. Goldendale is a small city about 115 miles east of Vancouver, WA. Construction of phase 1 of the plant should take 5-6 months. The advantage of Goldendale is it is located adjacent to 2 main highways, I-84 east/west and I-97 north/south. This location will help considerably with the delivery of the pre-cast concrete panels initially to sites in the Western US, up to 1,000 miles away, and will also simplify the delivery of raw materials to the facility. It is anticipated that in the initial year of operations the company will be able to produce enough panel sets for the construction of over 50 homes.
Auscrete can economically deliver whole house panel sets throughout the entire West Coast and as far away as Arizona or Alberta, Canada. With a planned future facility to be set up in Ontario Canada, further efficiencies will be achieved by servicing a fast-emerging market in this above average, affordable housing growth area. Additionally, the Ontario plant could quite easily address the South East US market as well.
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 crews to construct and complete the houses.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve various important assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this discussion can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "intend," "may," "should" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievement. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including but not limited to, competitive factors and pricing pressures, changes in legal and regulatory requirements, cancellation or deferral of customer orders, technological change or difficulties, difficulties in the timely development of new products, difficulties in manufacturing, commercialization and trade difficulties and general economic conditions as well as the factors set forth in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report or the date of any document incorporated by reference, in this Annual Report. We are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
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 $6,708,160 as of December 31, 2018 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
6
To the extent that the Company's capital resources are now adequate to meet current and planned operating requirements, the Company will use additional funds through equity and 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 subsequent current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will be required to 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 raise 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.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
The company had a net loss of $(3,517,089) for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $(2,037,746) for the year ended December 31, 2017. The change is explained below.
The company's operations during 2018 were restricted to fund-raising and compliance whereas the company acquired access to investment funds which were to produce results in limited cash acquisitions beginning in February 2018.
All other expenses were attributed to the cost of establishing a temporary shop in Goldendale WA for reformation and maintenance of Company owned assets and equipment. An onsite office building was also constructed for day to day business development operations and Company compliance processes.
The intended set up of facilities and subsequent operations of the company, being the manufacture of construction products for commercial and residential structures, had not commenced in 2018 but will commence in mid-2019 as the company completes financing and builds the manufacturing facility on the Goldendale, WA Industrial Estate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had minimal operating activity since inception of the company in 2010. Our 2018 short-term obligations are being covered by funding received from convertible notes with a total value of $406,000 issued in 2018.
Net cash used in operating activities was $242,663 in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activity of 141,048 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Net cash used by investing activities was $105,364 in the year ended December 31, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $(0).
Net cash provided by financing activities was $349,000 in the year ended December 31, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2017 was $156,000.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had inadequate cash to operate its business at the current level for the next six months and to achieve its business goals. The success of our business plan during and beyond the next 6 months will be provided by additional loan financing of a minimum of $700,000
Financing
Auscrete Corporation, a Wyoming public company was incorporated on December 31, 2009 and first became effective for an IPO 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 IPO was not commenced and expired in February 2014. The company became Effective with a Registration Statement in December 2014 registering shareholder held shares for sale enabling re-application to FINRA for listing on the
7
OTCBB. The company engaged the services of a registered broker-dealer and market maker, Glendale Securities, LLC, who subsequently applied with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
The Company did not execute its Initial Public Offering to raise capital. Required funds will be acquired from Loan or Equity financing to enable the Company to construct its factory campus on the Goldendale, WA Industrial Estate to meet the commencement and ongoing financial needs of the Company, as outlined in Liquidity and Capital Resources above.
Use of Funds Raised Through Financing
Initial Stage One targeted funding is up to $1.2 million and the company, during 2018, has purchased 5 acres of land on the Goldendale Industrial Estate. Initially it cost $102,000, including fees, to purchase the land. Two buildings will be constructed initially, one at 25,000 sq. ft. and one at 15,000 sq. ft. The cost of supply and erection of these buildings will be $495,000. Plant & Equipment, which comprises of specialty designed product blending equipment and raw cement and sand handling equipment, fork lifts, casting tables and specialized equipment, will cost $80,000 and Shop Equipment will be $65,000. The balance will be used for working capital and expenses including wages, marketing and other working capital and reserves.
Marketing
Principal marketing efforts will be initially aimed at leveraging specific contacts and relationships that have been developed as recent as this fiscal year as well as over the last twelve years since the inception of the founders’ pilot plant. An experienced sales person has been found who will have the luxury of dealing with existing contracts and contacts, many of which will reach forward over 3 years.
At this point in time, the company has available to it, contracts for the immediate supply of houses and other structures (apartment block etc.) valued at over $3.5 million but also has available letters of intent from a developer and from a contractor to supply 130 plus houses, valued at $19.6 million, to be built on their housing estates over the next few years. Delivery will be paced at the rate of sales but is expected to be in excess of 100 units per year.
Auscrete's product is also extremely suitable for the construction of high end residential, 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
Using a conservative estimate at an average value per sale of $150,000, the company is projecting first year sales in the $7.5 million range escalating from there, once the new campus is up and running. At that rate, there are already approximately 3+ years of potential sales at hand. The typical structure will be a home in the 1,100 - 3,000 sq. ft. range that will sell to the contractor or developer for around $80K-$200K with the average being over $150,000. 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 22% and, once in production, the company does not expect to incur first year losses.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangement
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Auscrete Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Auscrete Corp. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet generated operational revenue and has significant accumulated deficits. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

AUSCRETE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018
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 $100-110 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
Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception.
On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21%.
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.
The Company has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring Accrual at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
15
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 were $15,948 cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and $14,975 as of December 31, 2017.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in accessible active markets.
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, convertible notes payable and advances from related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company’s derivative liabilities have been valued as Level 3 instruments.

REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC 605and 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.
17
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. It is estimated that the Company will issue 15,500,000 as a result of conversion of notes. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.
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.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
The Company qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company, thus takes advantage of the 1-year deferral period for the adoption of all new accounting standards updates.
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 $6,708,160 as of December 31, 2018 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company will use additional funds through equity and 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 subsequent current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will be required to 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 raise 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 7 - INCOME TAXES
Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception.
On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21%.
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition.

A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.
As of December 31, 2018, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(6,708,160) and a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,408,714 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years. However, due to the uncertainty of future events
21
we have booked valuation allowance of $(1,708,714). FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At September 30, 2018, the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally Accepted Accounting principles.
Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities

NOTE - 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 27, 2018, the company had purchased a 5 acre industrial lot for $100,000 from the City of Goldendale, WA to establish production facility. In January, 2019, Arrangements were made with an area contractor to form the land and prepare for the excavation and preparation of building foundations.
The company did not receive funding promised from RB Capital due to Cash Flow problems of the lender. In January, it was decided to take a short-term note from PowerUp Lending Group in the amount of $37,000 to enable the company to continue. The note has interest of 12% and is convertible at 55% of market.
In accordance with ASC 855, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2018 through the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any other material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Code of Ethics
24
Since we have only two 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 two 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.
