INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Members 

Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC (a West Virginia corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of income and members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

TRI-STATE PAVING & SEALCOATING, LLC 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

 

Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC (the Company), was formed in 2010, and is a Hurricane, West Virginia based limited liability company. The Company is involved in paving, sealcoating and repair and maintenance projects for customers, most of whom are utility companies located in West Virginia. Additional contracts have been awarded in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, which includes operations in both Tennessee and northern Georgia.

 

A second activity is a leading edge, ready mix concrete plant which produces ready-mixed concrete and construction aggregates covering several counties in West Virginia from the Greater Kanawha Valley to Mason County, West Virginia. Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC performs this activity in the form of doing business as Mozack Concrete. Mozack Concrete is not a separate legal entity, and the financial activity for Mozack Concrete is presented within the Tri-State Paving & Sealcoating, LLC activity.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Revenues and Cost Recognition

 

For service and maintenance contracts for which the Company has the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed. For these contracts, the Company typically bills the customer a fixed amount for each hour of labor provided, as well as a fixed markup on materials used. Revenue recognized on these contracts is calculated in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice for services performed (an output method utilizing a practical expedient). Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, repairs and insurance costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

For service and maintenance contracts that do not meet the preceding criteria, revenue is recognized when services are performed using the same methodology as described above. Very few contracts, if any, year to year will not meet the preceding criteria.

 

Revenues from rendering of services, net of contract discounts and allowances (including cash discounts given to customers), are included in service revenues earned, net.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.):

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturity dates of less than three months are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Trade Receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements. The Company does not bill for retainage on its contracts. The Company did not recognize any bad debts for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from the customers. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all accounts receivable amounts are deemed to be collectible, therefore an allowance for doubtful accounts has not been recorded.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 40 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Retirements and other disposals of property are removed from the accounts at their carrying values; any gains or losses resulting from dispositions are reflected in income. Depreciation expense was $964,376 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $836,505 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company, with the consent of its members, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S-Corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the members of an S-Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.):

 

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to account for uncertain tax positions. The Company is not aware of any significant tax positions taken by management which are subject to uncertainty or pose a reasonable possibility of change by Federal or State tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or State income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

 

Presentation of Sales Taxes

 

The State of West Virginia imposes a sales tax of 6.0% and additional percentages up to 1.0% for specific municipalities on all of the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company also operates in the State of Tennessee which follows the same policies as West Virginia although sales tax rates are 7.0% with additional percentages up to 1.5% to 2.75% for specific municipalities. The Company collects that sales tax from customers and remits the entire amount to the State. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the State from revenues and cost of sales.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $32,821 and $11,246 in advertising expense respectively, which is included in advertising expense on the accompanying statements of income and retained earnings.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 differ from those estimates.

 

Compensated Absences

 

Employees are eligible for vacation hours after an employee’s one year, hire date anniversary. As of January 1, 2019, vacation hours could be rolled over into subsequent years. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was liable for $37,773 and $26,929, respectively, of equivalent compensation.

 

Warranties

 

The company guarantees its work for one year after the date of project completion. The Company accrues an estimate of its warranty liability cost on a case by case basis once a job has been assessed it will need warranty work.

NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

 

The Company maintains cash balances with several financial institutions located in Cabell and Putnam County, West Virginia. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $1,895,514 exceeding the federal insured limit.

The Company extends credit to regular customers and routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, and as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk is limited and therefore, has not included an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

NOTE 11 – PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM:

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received a loan in the amount of $670,720 under the Payroll Protection Program (PPP Loan) from the Small Business Administration (SBA). Under the terms of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), PPP Loan recipients can apply for, and be granted forgiveness for, all or a portion of the PPP Loan and accrued interest. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of PPP Loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures, and retention of employees and maintaining salary levels.

 

Management has elected to analogize International Accounting Standards (IAS) 20 – Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance to recognize the Company’s PPP Loan. IAS 20 provides a model for the accounting of different forms of government assistance, which includes forgivable loans. Under this model, government assistance is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the probable threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the assistance will be met and the assistance will be received.

 

During 2021, the Company received notification from the SBA that this PPP Loan has been forgiven. As a result, in accordance with IAS 20, the Company has recognized the use of $670,720 of the PPP Loan proceeds as of December 31, 2021 as Other Income.
