CASTWELL PRECAST CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Castwell Precast Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 25, 2005. Since inception, the Company’s purpose has been to design, develop, and market precast concrete products.
On March 25, 2005, the Company formed Castwell Precast, Inc. to be operated as a subsidiary of the Company. As of September 30, 2008, the Company owned 100% of the shares of issued and outstanding stock of Castwell Precast, Inc.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of its precast concrete products.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a zero balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has determined that the book value of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2008 approximates fair value.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the Company’s financial statements, management is required 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 period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
8
DEPRECIATION
The Company’s fixed assets consist mainly of machinery and equipment used to produce concrete products it uses in its operations. The Company provides for depreciation of its equipment by the straight-line method, using an estimated useful life of 7 years. Depreciation expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,006 and $9,018, respectively.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” the basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of September 30, 2008, the Company did not have any dilutive common stock equivalents.
INCOME TAXES
On September 30, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss available for carry
forward of $202,771. The tax benefit of approximately $70,000 from the loss carry
forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful as the Company has been unable to establish a projection of operating profits for future years. The loss carryover will begin to expire in 2025.
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING
These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The Company suggests that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management believes that the adoption of any new relevant accounting pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.
NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
During 2005, the Company issued 100,000 warrants in conjunction with debt. This debt was converted to stock in December 2005, and the warrants remain outstanding as of September 30, 2008. At the time the warrants and debt were issued, the warrants were valued using the black-scholes model, and the related value was not material to the financial statement presentation.
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001, and 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001.
9
On April 4, 2008, the Company completed the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common stock offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. The offering price was $0.15 per share and the Company received gross proceeds of $150,000.
As of September 30, 2008 the Company had zero shares of preferred stock outstanding and 3,808,348 shares of common stock outstanding.

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred a net operating loss of $29,341 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and has an accumulated deficit of $202,771 as of September 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Management’s plans to overcome the Company’s negative cash flows from operating activities and recurring operating losses include increased marketing activity in an attempt to increase the Company’s sales of window wells in connection with remodels as opposed to new construction, an attempt to identify other sources of revenue to provide the Company with cash flow pending the recovery of the housing market, and the reduction of operating expenses. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to accomplish these objectives or that if achieved, they will be adequate to eliminate the Company’s operating losses. If the Company is unable to stem its history of operating losses before its capital is exhausted, it will be required to seek additional debt or equity funding in order to continue its operations. The Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangement with regard to the provision of such additional funding and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available to the Company.
11
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following information contains forward-looking statements. (See “Forward Looking Statements.”)
Recent Events: The Housing and Credit Crises
The housing and credit crises have had and continue to have a significant adverse effect on our operations and our financial condition. We have historically sold most of our decorative, precast concrete window wells to contractors for installation in newly constructed homes. However, as a result of the credit and housing crises, new construction in our market area has decreased substantially, which has resulted in substantially reduced demand for our products. In addition, because our decorative window wells are an optional and more expensive component as compared to the galvanized steel, aluminum or fiberglass models, contractors are also attempting to cut costs in connection with new construction and remodels by using the cheaper window well alternatives. These factors have contributed to a significant decline in our sales and a significant increase in our operating loss and net loss. We do not anticipate that the demand for our products will begin to recover until such time as general economic conditions improve and the housing market begins to recover.
Recent Events: Completion of Initial Public Offering
As described in Part II, Item 2, on April 4, 2008, Castwell Precast Corporation (the “Company,” “we, “us” or “our”) completed the sale of all 1,000,000 shares of common stock offered pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-1 (originally filed on Form SB-2) (the “Offering”). The offering price was $0.15 per share and the Company received gross proceeds of $150,000 before deducting the costs of the Offering.
General
We were incorporated on March 25, 2005 to engage in the business of manufacturing and installing precast concrete window wells. In connection with our organization, we sold 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to two officers and founding stockholders, for consideration of $74,000, consisting of $20,000 in cash and the contribution of property and equipment with an agreed upon value of $54,000. Subsequently, from May through July 2005, we sold an additional 380,000 shares to three persons for $38,000 in cash and in December 2005 we issued 428,348 shares to two creditors as payment for loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $42,835 including principal and interest. In November 2005, we also issued a seven-year warrant to one of such creditors entitling it to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share as additional consideration for a loan. Although we have not yet operated on a profitable basis, the cash received from such financing activities during 2005 and the proceeds from our recent public offering have been sufficient to sustain our operations through September 30, 2008.
Our executive offices are located at the residence of our president and treasurer for which we pay no rent. Until January 31, 2008, our operations were conducted at a leased facility consisting of approximately 4,000 square feet which we rented on a month-to-month basis for a monthly rental of $1,600, plus utilities. On February 1, 2008, we relocated our manufacturing operations to a manufacturing and warehouse facility owned by our vice president and located at 11744 South 2700 West, Riverton, Utah. We use approximately one-third of the facility on a shared basis and we pay a monthly rent of $500 plus our share of utilities.Our operations involve the manufacture, sale and installation of decorative pre-cast concrete window wells. Substantially all of such work is performed by our officers with limited marketing assistance from an independent contractor. To date, we have not operated on a profitable basis.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our revenues were $3,310 compared to revenues of $26,691 for the three month’s ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $23,381 or 87.6%. The decrease is attributable to significantly reduced product sales during the first quarter of 2008 as result of the troubled housing market and the significant decrease in the construction of new homes. During the first quarter of 2008 our cost of goods sold was $6,266, or 189% revenues, as compared to cost of goods sold of $14,535, or 54.5% of revenues, during the comparable period of 2007. The significant drop in revenues resulted in cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2008 that exceeded revenues by $2,956. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our gross loss was ($2,956) compared to a gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $12,156, a decrease of $15,112 or 124%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the significant decrease in revenues discussed above.
During the third quarter of 2008 our total operating expenses were $25,179 compared to operating expenses of $17,165 for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of $8,014 or 46.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to a $4,882 increase in professional and legal fees associated with our becoming a public reporting company during 2008 and a $5,069 increase in payroll as a result of the implementation of the post-offering salaries for our officers. The foregoing increases were offset slightly by a $3,400 decrease in rent.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our net loss was $29,341 compared to a net loss of $5,009 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the $15,112 reduction in gross profit and the $8,014 increase in operating expenses discussed above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our revenues were $24,256 compared to revenues of $110,979 for the nine month’s ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $86,723 or 78.1%. The decrease is attributable to significantly reduced product sales during the first nine months of 2008 as result of the troubled housing market and the decrease in the construction of new homes. During the first nine months of 2008, our cost of goods sold was $18,978, or 78.2% of revenues, as compared to cost of goods sold of $58,989, or 53.2% of revenues, during the comparable period of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our gross profit was $5,278, or 21.8% of revenues, compared to a gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $51,990, or 46.8% of revenues, a decrease of $46,712 or 89.8%. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the significant decrease in revenues discussed above.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 our total operating expenses were $85,953 compared to operating expenses of $64,787 for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $21,166 or 32.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to a $30,520 increase in professional and legal fees associated with our becoming a public reporting company during 2008, approximately $3,500 of which was incurred in connection with the Offering, offset mainly by a $9,620 reduction in rent expense and a $3,786 reduction in cost of supplies.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our net loss was $81,689 compared to a net loss of $12,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $68,892, or 538%. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the $46,712 reduction in gross profit and the $21,166 increase in operating expenses discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a consolidated basis, as of September 30, 2008, we had current assets in the form cash and receivables in the amount of $52,427 and current liabilities of $511, which resulted in net working capital of $51,916. As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and receivables in the amount of $7,603 and current liabilities of $27,000, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $19,397. The $71,313 increase in our working capital from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008 is primarily the result of our receipt of the net proceeds from initial public offering in April, 2008.
13
In connection with the completion of our Offering on April 4, 2008, we received gross proceeds of approximately $150,000 before deducting the costs of the Offering. We anticipate that the net proceeds from the Offering together with our revenues and our existing assets will be sufficient to permit us to continue our business plan and conduct our operations for a period of at least twelve months.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and continuing through the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company has had negative cash flows from operating activities, recurring operating losses, and negative equity. The Company incurred a net operating loss of $29,341 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and has an accumulated deficit of $202,771 as of September 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Management’s plans to overcome the Company’s working capital deficit, negative cash flows from operating activities and recurring operating losses include increased marketing activity in an attempt to increase the Company’s sales of window wells in connection with remodels as opposed to new construction, an attempt to identify other sources of revenue to provide the Company with cash flow pending the recovery of the housing market, and the reduction of operating expenses. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to accomplish these objectives or that if achieved, they will be adequate to eliminate the Company’s operating losses. If the Company is unable to stem its history of operating losses before its capital is exhausted, it will be required to seek additional debt or equity funding in order to continue its operations. The Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangement with regard to the provision of such additional funding and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available to the Company.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities was $92,558 for the first nine months of 2008 which is an increase of $96,228 from $3,670 in net cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to the $68,892 increase in net loss and payments made in 2008 on liabilities accrued at December 31, 2007 in the amount of $26,489.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $6,586 during the first nine months of 2008 compared to net cash used by investing activities of $783 during the first nine months of 2007 as a result of the purchase of equipment during 2008.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities during the first nine months of 2008 was $150,000 as compared to $0 for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase is due to our receipt of proceeds from our initial public offering in April 2008 in the aggregate amount of $150,000.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:
14
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of its precast concrete products.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a zero balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Depreciation
The Company’s fixed assets consist mainly of machinery and equipment used to produce the concrete products it uses in its operations. The Company provides for depreciation of its equipment by the straight-line method, using an estimated useful life of 7 years.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” the basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of September 30, 2008, the Company did not have any dilutive common stock equivalents.
Income Taxes
On September 30, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $202,771. The tax benefit of approximately $70,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful as the Company has been unable to establish a projection of operating profits for future years. The loss carryover will begin to expire in 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management believes that the adoption of any new relevant accounting pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable. The Company is a “smaller reporting company.”
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including President, who acts as our principal executive and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered
15
by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2008, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
