UNAUDITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2018
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.
The Company follows the accounting guidance outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification guidelines. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles for interim financial information and with the instruction to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-K. They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which unless otherwise disclosed herein, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018
History
Auscrete Corporation ("the Company") was formed as an enterprise to take advantage of technologies developed for the construction of specialty Affordable and lightweight concrete based, thermally efficient and structurally superior housing. This "GREEN" product is the culmination of design and development since the early 1980's. Auscrete Corporation had its beginnings in 2005 when a private company that was owned by this company's President and Directors re-developed the 1980's technology to comply with, and exceed,
International Building Codes. The Auscrete Corporation Public Company that now exists was started to enable financing of the operations so the company can address an ongoing problem in the world's largest marketplace, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The company is reviewing the effects of the following recent updates. We do not have an expectation that the following will have a material effect on the financial statements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, a comprehensive new standard that amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases, including the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
The new leasing standard requires modified retrospective transition, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recorded in the
Page 8 of 19
Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption; however, an estimate of the impact of this standard is not currently determinable.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management expects to adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2018 when the Company performs its annual impairment testing. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to Auscrete’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The company has adopted ASU 2018-07 and the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
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 were $55,411 and $14,975 in cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively.
Page 9 of 19
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, 2017 and September 30, 2018.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported losses, total assets or stockholders’ equity.
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 significant revenues from operations to date. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $(7,071,534) as of September 30, 2018.
To the extent that the Company's capital resources were insufficient to meet operating requirements, the Company has accessed loan funding arrangements to enable operations its future needs. These funds, of which the company has already received the first tranche of $200,000 in February, is being used to fund and establish the Company’s new manufacturing plant in Goldendale, WA.
A second tranche of $200,000 will be available by mid-November and the balance of $1.1 million, which completes the facility, will be received in January - March of 2019. 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 the additional financing will be available when needed by 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.
Page 10 of 19
This would have a material adverse effect on the Company and could raise 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 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, John Sprovieri, an officer and director of the company, has advanced $2,329 to the company. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the balance owed to John Sprovieri was $23,706 and $1,099 respectively.
NOTE 4 – INVENTORY
Inventory consists of Finished Product and Raw Materials that are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Finished product of $44,900 is a full set of insulated AAC cast panels for wall and roof of an approx. 1,600 sq. ft. house. Panel cost is actual size of all panels in sq. ft. of just under 7,000 sq. ft. calculated at $6.52 per cu. ft.
Raw Materials:
Raw materials consist of rebar, insulation, surfactant, powdered cement, threaded inserts and sundry items. The cost of $2,100 is based on the cost of purchase from a non-related supplier.
NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and Equipment is as listed below in the depreciation table. The 2018 figure includes a 5-acre Industrial property purchased in Goldendale, WA

Accumulated Depreciation | (16,019) | (12,618) |
Property, Plant and Equipment (net) | $ 123,342 | $ 21,899 |
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Since the Company’s most recent 10-Q filing on June 30, 2018, the company has sold two further loan notes, one at $53,000 from PowerUp on July 16, 2018 that was used for ongoing G & A. Another Note for 33,000 was received from PowerUp on September 4, 2018 which was also used for G & A expenses.
As a result of these convertible notes, we recognized an embedded derivative liability. We recorded an initial derivative of $217,264 and an initial debt discount of $86,000. We value our derivative liability using a binomial model, using a range of conversion prices that ranged from $.02 to $.04. we used an expected volatility ranged from 450% to 470% and a risk free interest range of 1.8% to 2.4%
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recognized a net loss on derivative liability of $290,991 and (389,132) respectively and net loss of financing fees of $283,884 and $739,562 respectively. As of December 31, 2017, and September 30, 2018, our derivative liability was $309,487 and $701,054
Page 11 of 19
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
On June 7, 2018, the Company effected a Reverse Split at 1,000 to 1. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued, post-split 3,629,000 shares to note holders during conversion representing a total value of $ 21,310. As a result we recassified $354,149 from common stock to additional paid in capital.
In addition, the Company issued 50 million shares to management and associated parties for services rendered that was expensed in the Company’s Financial Statements, with a valuation of $2,540,000 valued on the date of the grant.
NOTE 8 - 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $7,071,534 and a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,485,022 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 we have booked a full valuation allowance of $1,485,022. The Company may have experienced control changes under IRC 382, which has not been fully analyzed and could affect the NOL availability.

Deferred Tax Asset (net) | $- | $- |
Reconciliations between the provision for income taxes and the expected tax benefit using the federal statutory rate of 21%. and the state statutory rate of 0% for a total effective rate of 21% for 2018.
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 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal 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. No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at year end.
Page 12 of 19
Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company’s Equipment Assets, which were earlier transported to Auscrete’s temporary facility are being worked on by the Company’s Engineering Department where refurbishing nears completion and management and staff are working out of the Site Office currently located at the Company’s temporary facility.
The re-designed 25,000 sq. ft. Production Building has completed final design and engineering and the supplier is preparing the necessary drawings for approval by the Building Codes. Delivery supply times of building sets have been extended in the last year or so and it might be December before we can receive ours.
Auscrete designed specialized manufacturing equipment, which is being manufactured for the Company in China, includes the homogenizer, silo supply unit and spiral conveyer units. These units been pre-ordered for manufacture and the supplier expects delivery some weeks before the building will be ready for installation.
The SEPA Environmental Study has been completed for the State of Washington Department of Ecology and contains no definable exigencies from planning for the completion of Auscrete’s Campus on the Industrial Estate.
Funding for the project in the order of $1.5 million commenced last February with the acquisition of initial loan funds in the order of $200,000. This was used for land purchases and G&A. A further $200,000 was due in May for the down payment on the building and deposits on other equipment. The funder suffered some setbacks due to changes in other corporate matters and his cash flow was severely affected.
Auscrete has been waiting on that second funding tranche and has not received it as yet. Management had a meeting with the funder on October 18 and it was understood that the funds would start being received before November 29. The balance of the total package will be received at intervals between then and March, Next year.
It is comforting to know that the problems have been overcome and things will start moving again. Just the first tranche will get the building delivered to the site and the initial production equipment can be received. That is adequate for Auscrete to be ready to start manufacture of building product within 4 months.

Results of Operations
As at September 30, 2018, the Company had not commenced manufacturing operations. Therefore, there were no material operational changes from the last audited financials of December 31, 2017.
The company has established its operating base in Goldendale, WA and is currently preparing for the construction of two manufacturing buildings. Management has assembled a complete specification set for the manufacturing process and have alerted machinery suppliers of the company's needs and probable dates required.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the company was not operating as a revenue producing manufacturer and, with allowances for Derivative allowances, sustained losses of $2,587,769. These include regular expenses plus additional expenses and sub contract labor that were necessary as the company went ahead with Design Engineering and Fundraising activities.
Liquidity
During the nine months ending September 30, 2018, the company did receive payments of $340,000 from the sale of convertible notes. Even though there were considerable costs during the period in financing fees and interest, the company was able to end the period with cash on hand of $55,411.
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 current technology is the amalgamation of various material stages of Company development, 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 very competitive. A turnkey house, ready to move in sells for around $105 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 and functional site-built home, a home that will stay where it is put through all kinds of adverse
Page 14 of 19
weather and age conditions. It will not burn, is not affected by insect infestation or rot, it saves extensively on energy costs and has very low maintenance needs.
Financing
Auscrete Corporation, a Wyoming public company was incorporated on December 31, 2009 and initially became effective with the SEC for an IPO on August 16, 2012. The IPO was never exercised and expired.
Subsequently the company had an S-1 become Effective on December 30, 2014. This was not an Offering and not used for fundraising.
The company has been quoted on the OTCPink Bulletin Board under the symbol "ASCK" since February 2015 and is DTC registered.
During February, 2018, Management was able to secure commitment of a loan facility with RB Partners Inc. in California. Through Auscrete’s CEO, the company received $200,000 in loan funds in early February and another $140,00 by September 30. The balance of the total package will be received at intervals between November 7 and March next year.
These funds will enable completion of the construction of the factory facility on Auscrete’s Industrial Land in Goldendale, WA and meet the ongoing financial needs of the company.
Financial Statements in this document represent the full results of the company during the nine-month period to September 30. There are no "off balance sheet" arrangements.
Use of Funds
As at September 30, 2018 the company’s acquisition of land on the Goldendale, WA Industrial Estate was completed. The first $340,000 of the anticipated $1.5 million has enabled commencement of work to set up the company’s Flagship Manufacturing Plant on Auscrete’s property on the Industrial Estate.
The company will invest up to $1.5 million overall that it will have received in the funding expected between November 7 and March 2018. The completed Stage 1 costs were $100,000 to purchase the 5 acres of Industrial Land and the preparation of planning and design for the property.
Stage 2 will be the construction of a Production Building of 25,000 sq. ft. followed by a Manufacturing Support Building of 16,000 sq. ft. The cost of supply and erection of these buildings will be around $550,000.
Plant & Production Line Equipment, which comprises Specialty Materials Blenders and Raw Materials Handling Equipment, Fork Lifts, Casting Tables and Specialized Equipment, will cost approximately $160,000 and Shop Equipment will be $90,000. The balance of the funding will be used for working capital and expenses including wages and salaries, marketing, IR services, contingencies and other working capital and reserves to commence production and revenues.
Marketing
Principal marketing efforts will be initially aimed at leveraging specific contacts and relationships that have developed over the last 12 years since the inception of the founders’ pilot plant. The company has interviewed and chosen an experienced sales person who will have the luxury of dealing with existing contracts and contacts as well as the multitude of inquiries received every week.
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 $3 million but also has 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 for this project alone will be paced at the rate of sales but is expected to initially be in excess of 40 units per year. Auscrete's product is also extremely suitable for the construction of commercial and industrial structures. Company marketing will also 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 1,500 sq. ft. home with a value per sale of $150,000, the company is projecting first year sales revenues in the $6-8 million range escalating to $15 million per year there on, as the new campus is up and running. At that rate, there are already approximately 3+ years of sales available 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 $80,000 to $200,000 with the average being $150,000. Obviously, the company will look to increase output to meet the demand and expects to do this through minimal internal financing. The typical net margin is in excess of 20% and, once in production, the company does not expect to incur first year losses.
Operations Management
When the new Fabrication Building and Production Building have been completed at the industrial site, production will be commenced. 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 to action.
Upon commencement of Auscrete's activity, under control of the CEO will be marketing, manufacturing operations, design architecture and engineering, administration and safety compliance. Additionally, the
Construction Manager 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, 16 hydraulically operated multi process casting tables with each table able to produce 5 panels per 2 weeks. This allows for the materials to cure adequately enabling safe removal from the table. The panels are then taken to the finishing area where they are 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 also oversee these operations.
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 corporations, workers and local economies. Yet, still the availability of affordable housing is becoming increasingly scarce.
The company is promoting a product that will not only make housing affordable but also offers some luxuries as well, such as incorporated heat pump/air conditioning units 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 ready constructed site-built units on suitable land. They are NOT and will not be offered under the banner of such categories as 'pre-fabricated', ‘modular” or 'factory built' homes. They are just plain good value masonry homes built of a time proven product, concrete.
Page 16 of 19
The company is establishing its expanded operations and manufacturing facility in the Industrial Estate area of Goldendale, WA. Goldendale is a city of around 4,500 people about 110 miles east of Vancouver, WA.
Construction of the plant should take 5-6 months. The advantage of Goldendale is it is located very close to 2 main highways, I-84 east/west and I-97 north/south. The location will help considerably with the delivery of Auscrete’s building materials 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 40 homes.
Although Auscrete can economically deliver whole house panel sets as far away as New Mexico or Alberta, Canada, there is a planned future facility to be set up in either Texas or New Mexico. Further efficiencies will be achieved by servicing a fast-emerging market in this above average (for affordable housing) growth area. Additionally, a plant in Texas could quite easily address the Arizona and New Mexico market, now that the market recovery in those areas has heated up. 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 construct the house.
Additionally, the company recently reported it had entered agreement with Spiro Sapounas representing a Canadian development consortium to set up a manufacturing plant in Canada. Auscrete will own 75% of this Canadian venture, with the other 25% in the hands of the Canadian Partners. Financing for this project does not form part of the Goldendale, WA initiative described herein. The agreement calls for financing to be acquired from other sources, specifically Federal and Proventil Governments and the Canadian Partners, for the venture.
