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 commercial structures and residential 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 developments, 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 $110-$120 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. Each house is constructed on site and this produces 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 and Auscrete. 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 process enables infusion of millions of tiny air bubbles and EPS insulation into a special inert concrete mix enabling the creation of an insulated and lightweight product without sacrificing strength or structural integrity.
Since commencing re-development of the basic technology almost thirteen years ago, Mr. Sprovieri has refined and modified the basic insulating formula that involves a number of purpose-built machines that have been fabricated for the manufacturing of Auscrete’s product.
The process includes machinery that can produce and infuse various sized aggregates, product specific hydraulically operated casting beds, concrete batching plant, materials handling equipment, specialized finishing machines and a "Hot Box" materials thermal testing station that gives thermal "R" ratings of materials to ASTM specifications. Additionally, many sample panels were 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 forcing large numbers of working families to live on the streets overwhelming Governmental services.
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 using 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.
Auscrete can economically deliver whole house panel sets throughout the entire West Coast and as far away as Texas or Alberta, Canada servicing a fast-emerging market in this above average, affordable housing growth area.
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 1A. RISK FACTORS

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 $13,371,184 as of December 31, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To the extent that the Company's capital resources are not 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.

The Company did not generate revenues from construction related operations during the period ending December 31,2022. The Company has an Accumulated deficit of $13,367,354 as of December 31, 2022 and no current revenue stream, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had minimal operating activity since inception of the company in 2010. Our 2022 short-term obligations were covered by funding received from convertible notes with a total value of $288,000 issued in 2022.
Net cash used in operating activities was $271,184 in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to net cash used in operating activity of 359,297 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 in the year ended December 31, 2022. Net cash used in activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $(918).
Net cash provided by financing activities was $282,376 in the year ended December 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2021 was $345,624.
As of December 31, 2022, 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 and revenues of a minimum of $300,000.
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
OTCPink. 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).
Use of Funds Raised Through Financing
Initial Stage One targeted funding was $1.2 million and the company, during 2018, had purchased 5 acres of land on the Goldendale Industrial Estate. Initially it cost $102,000, including fees, to purchase the land.
In 2019 a change in Company strategy brought Management to make the decision to sell back its land investment and utilize the funds to establish an operational plant within a newly leased facility also in the Goldendale Washington area.
During the fiscal year both land sale funds and additional capital raised were used for major production equipment purchases and to fabricate startup provisions within a newly plant facility.
This Corporate profit orientated decision has provided greater advantageous results in assuring faster revenue generation.
The balance was used for working capital and expenses including wages, marketing and other working capital and reserves.
Marketing
Principal marketing efforts are 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 real estate marketing agent who will bring with him a multitude of contacts and interested customer inquiries.
The Company is actively placing itself in the position to be a major supplier in the smaller home market. The structures will be on average 100 to 600 square feet, and consist of a number of floor plans and varying interior options. These much-desired structures would support urban community transitioning efforts for houseless populations and builders seeking to construct these smaller homes on their properties.

Table of Contents |
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
The typical midsized affordable home market consists of structures in the range of 1,100 - 3,000 sq. ft. These will sell to the contractor or developer for around $80K-$200K with the average being over $150,000.
The Company plans on marketing its small 300 to 800 sq ft homes in the neighborhood of $40K-$100K on average.
Obviously, the company will look to increase output to meet future demands and expects to do this through internal financing.
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.
ITEM 7a. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Auscrete Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Auscrete Corporation (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, 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 sufficient revenues and has a significant accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, 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.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Notes Payable — Refer to Note 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has issued several notes payable during the year with conversion rates that are adjustable at a discounted rate to market prices. The terms allow for variable amounts of shares to be converted for a set dollar value; this and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be bifurcated and evaluated at each reporting period. Calculations and accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related conversion features, use of a valuation model, and determination of appropriate inputs used in the selected valuation model.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for notes payable and related accounts included the following, among others:
| · | Performed confirmation procedures and evaluated relevance and reliability of management data. |
| · | Assessed the completeness and accuracy of valuation data provided by Company by performing independent calculations based on the model and comparing the Company’s results for reasonableness. |
| · | Evaluated any unusual transactions related to notes payable and the appropriate accounting treatment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

AUSCRETE CORPORATION
UNAUDITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
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 $110-120 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.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND 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 financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
INCOME TAXES
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 year ended December 31, 2022, 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.
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 $11,192 cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022, and $(5,624) as of December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents |
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 revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
| · | Identify the contract with the customer |
|
|
|
| · | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
| · | Determine the transaction price |
|
|
|
| · | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
| · | Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation |
For the years ended December 31, 2022, our revenue was $0.

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.
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 approximately 22,700,000 as a result of conversion of notes. Included in the year ended December 31, 2022, all calculations reflect the effects of the 40 to 1 reverse stock split done on February 22, 2020. 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.
18 |
Table of Contents |
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 $13,367,354 as of December 31, 2022, 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 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Update 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This was issued in August of 2020 and will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact to the company.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Though the company has established banking credit cards to assist with the normal everyday purchases and payments of corporate needs such as utilities etc., The CEO and other involved parties often use their own cards for this purpose and, to represent this, the company has a continuous Related Party Advances section in its financial statements. This is adjusted typically at the end of each reporting period.
As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the balance owed to John Sprovieri was $0 and $0 respectively.
NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT
Notes to Inventory Type and Value:
Inventory consists of Finished Product and Raw Materials that are valued at the lower of cost or market.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
We currently have no current tax liability, as we have had limited revenue and incurred 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, 2019. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.
In addition, during the Period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 there were 53,238,652 shares issued to these individuals to recompense post-split roll back numbers issued for service compensation to the Company. As a result the company recognized a share based expense of $2,683,227. This amount was eliminated from the net operating loss carry forward as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $13,367,354 and a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,992,553 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years for 2022 and prior and post 2018 are indefinite.
However, due to the uncertainty of future events, we have booked valuation allowance of $(1,992,553). 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 December 31, 2022, the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.
