ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Company History

 

Health Revenue Assurance Holding, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2010.

 

The Company intended to become a provider of revenue cycle services to a broad range of healthcare providers. Offering the customers integrated solutions designed around their specific business needs, including revenue cycle data analysis, contract and outsourced coding, billing, coding and compliance audits, coding education, coding consulting, physician coding services and ICD-10 education and transition services.

 

On February 10, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Anvex International, Inc., “HRAH”), a Nevada company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Health Revenue Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), which was treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with HRAA, considered the accounting acquirer. Each share of HRAA’s common stock was exchanged for the right to receive approximately 1,271 shares of HRAH’s common stock. Before their entry into the Merger Agreement, no material relationship existed between HRAH and Acquisition Sub or HRAA. On April 27, 2012, the Company completed a 12.98 to 1 forward stock split. On May 2, 2012, the Company changed its ticker symbol from ANVX to HRAA.

 

The Company then went dormant in August 2014.

 

On July 14, 2020, as a result of a custodianship in Clark County, Nevada, Case Number: A816259, Custodian Ventures LLC (“Custodian”) was appointed Custodian of the Company.

 

On July 15, 2020, Custodian appointed David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (AmeriGuard) was incorporated in California November 14, 2002. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 common shares formerly held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, former VP of Operations with 450 shares. On July 12, 2022, under the terms of a Settlement Agreement, Flores exchanged her 450 shares for the consideration of $3,384,950 and a promissory note in that amount secured by a stock pledge. AmeriGuard provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 7 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On September 8, 2021, under the terms of a private stock purchase agreement, 10,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”) of the Company, were transferred from Custodian Ventures, LLC to AmeriGuard. As a result, AmeriGuard became holder of approximately 91% of the voting rights of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis of the Company and became the controlling shareholder. The consideration paid for the Shares was $450,000. In connection with the transaction, David Lazar forgave the Company from all debts owed to him and/or Custodian Ventures, LLC.

 

On September 8, 2021, the Company accepted the resignations from David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and as a Member of the Board of Directors. Effective on the same date to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Lazar’s resignations, the Company appointed Lawrence Garcia as the Company’s President, CEO, CFO, Treasurer, Secretary, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. These resignations are in connection with the consummation of the private stock purchase agreement and was not the result of any disagreement with Company on any matter relating to Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

On March 11, 2022, the Company, amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS) from Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. The name was deemed effective by FINRA on March 17, 2022.

On December 9, 2022, AGSS entered into the Merger Agreement. AmeriGuard became a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSS, and AGSS its only shareholder and will continue in its existence with one owner, AGSS. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, (a) the Majority Shareholder relinquished all of his 573 AmeriGuard common shares and the Minority Shareholders relinquished all of their 67 AmeriGuard common shares, constituting all issued and outstanding shares of AmeriGuard (the “AmeriGuard Shares”), and were issued an aggregate of 80,578,125 and 9,421,875 respectively of AGSS common shares, representing 86.26% and 10.09% of the outstanding Common Stock of AGSS and (b) AmeriGuard returned the A-1 Preferred Stock of AGSS for retirement. After the issuance of the common shares, the existing 3,417,302 common shares represent 3.66% of the outstanding common stock of AGSS.

 

Under the AGSS Merger Agreement, One Hundred Percent (100%) of the ownership interest of Ameriguard was exchanged for an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock of AGSS issued to the Majority Shareholders and the Minority Shareholders, in accordance with the AGSS Merger Agreement (the “AGSS Merger”). Also, as part of the AGSS Merger, Ameriguard cancelled the 10,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock it had purchased from Custodian Ventures, LLC. The former stockholders of Ameriguard acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock as a result of the share exchange transaction. Lawrence Garcia currently owns 86.26% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company and will be able to exert significant influence and control over the Company for the foreseeable future.

 

We have 10,000,000 authorized and designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock which are entitled to seventy-two (72) votes per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on all matters on which stockholders may vote. While we currently have no such shares issued and outstanding, the voting rights afforded these Series A-1 Preferred Stock would give any future holders a disparate voting interest and allow them to potentially exert control over the actions of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement, by and among Garcia, AmeriGuard, and Lillian Flores (“Flores”), dated July 7, 2022 (the “Settlement Agreement”), AmeriGuard repurchased the 450 common shares of Flores for a total consideration of $3,384,950 payable in five equal annual installments compounded semi-annually at a three percent rate. The initial payment on July 8, 2022, of $686,990 reduced the balance to $2,697,960. The second through fifth installment are due on December 31, 2023, through December 31, 2026.

 

Prior to Merger, under the terms of a stock pledge agreement, by and among Garcia, Flores and AmeriGuard, dated July 7, 2022, 360 AmeriGuard common shares remained held in AmeriGuard treasury pledged to Flores. On Merger these pledged shares were substituted with 50,625,000 AGSS common stock of the 80,578,125 issued to Lawrence Garcia. These pledged shares are redeemed and returned to Garcia based on a stock redemption agreement, by and among Garcia, Flores and AmeriGuard, dated July 7, 2022.

 

The purposes of the transactions described in this Current Report were to complete a business combination by a stock for stock merger and complete a recapitalization of the company with the result being that AmeriGuard became a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSS. Our business operations will now focus on the business of AmeriGuard and its management will be the management of AGSS.

 

There is no offering with this merger.

 

Effective immediately after the Share Exchange, the stock transfer books of AmeriGuard shall be closed.

 

Overview

 

AmeriGuard principally provides guard services to governmental, quasi-governmental and commercial property management. Guard services generated $24 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Guard services include, providing armed and unarmed uniformed security personnel for access control, mobile patrols, traffic control, security console/system operators, fire safety directors, communication, reception, concierge and front desk/doorman operations. As we continue to push growth organically as well as through acquisition, we will be able to realize greater market share in the security industry.

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2022, we had 315 full-time employees, 240 of these employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements and the Company considers it relations with its employees to be very good.

 

Our Industry

 

Security guard and related services in the US is comprised of over 11,000 companies and 900,000 officers. We compete with top firms, such as Allied Universal, Securitas, G4S and Prosegur Security, which control the majority of the industry.. Ameriguard’s approximately $24.6 million in annual revenue places it in a strong competitive position.

 

We believe that the top 40 companies have the resources to harness technology, to expand their business into related services other than guard services. Companies with over $50 million in revenue have, over the last 10 years, experienced steady growth while those guard companies under $20 million, the remaining 9,900 firms, have experienced declining revenues. We believe that the principal reason for this is the steady diversification of security services away from the traditional guard services to areas of utilization of technology requiring capital. Along with this, we believe that the profitability challenges below $20 million annual sales are much more difficult that above $50 million is sales, largely due to the significant economies of scale achieve at the higher revenue levels.

 

The proliferation of technology while increasing efficacy in performance and inevitably lower costs in the future, the impact on the contract security industry will likely have mixed results – positive for companies who harness technology into their service delivery strategies – and negative for those companies who fail to invest in or adopt these service-enhancing capabilities. Despite the advances in the U.S. contract guarding business over recent years, there remains a question as to the industry’s viability in view of the increasing trend for integrating manned services with security systems (i.e. security video, access control and monitoring) along with the emergence of other new smart technology options and solutions (i.e. robotics, drones, cybersecurity and crowd sharing alert notification).

 

The recent merger and acquisition trend, primarily by the major national and international security organizations and fueled by investment and funding from private equity firms, is continuing. The underlying reason for this shift is less obvious and suggests an increasing number of sellers who concluded that their better option was to exit and sell rather than remain in the marketplace and try to compete and organically grow their market share.

 

Despite its low barriers of entry and nominal capital requirements, the security guard business has become more challenging for the smaller owner/operator. The traditionally historic advantage of the smaller operator’s ability to offer relationship-driven customized services is no longer totally sufficient for sustainable growth – especially with the increasing regulatory challenges of the Affordable Care Act, federal and state minimum wage laws, Family Medical Leave Act and state laws (i.e. meal and rest break reporting and now, predictive scheduling).

 

Even stronger local and smaller regional companies are finding it more difficult to protect their client base and grow revenues under increasing regulatory as well as competitive pressures. Larger regional and national organizations are dealing with the regulatory climate while growing market share by leveraging infrastructure, technology, economies of scale with more aggressive pricing and better service reliability. This approach appears to offer a more compelling value proposition from the client’s perspective, which seems evident by the higher client retention rates reported by the major security companies.

 

However, this consolidating trend may not be inevitable for the future as newer, more tech-savvy owner/operators enter the business and recognize how to adopt best practices with a variety of sophisticated third-party software platforms and applications to help level the playing field. These include talent management and on-boarding applications to attract, hire and maintain a more skilled and reliable workforce; integrated labor management platforms to control scheduling, compliance, operations, payroll, billing and financial reporting; and state-of-the-art social media marketing applications.

The contract security industry should now be able to more effectively capitalize on and penetrate opportunities in a $20 billion in-house market – especially for those companies who have invested and integrated technology into a more highly reliable ecosystem of protective services.

 

For the foreseeable future, the U.S. manned guarding business seems likely for continued sustainable growth. While the technology/manpower ratio may shift the revenue mix going forward, based on today’s currently expanding U.S. economy, the prospects for an aggregate growth rate of four percent or more seem realistic and perhaps even conservative, especially for ownership who have prudently invested in technology enhancements to their core guarding operations.

 

Providing these strategies can yield an attractive ROI, increase operating profits (EBITDA ranges of four to six percent and higher) and enterprise valuations, this industry seems not only viable but also opportune for further investment consideration.

Corporate Structure

 

As previously mentioned, on December 9, 2022, AGSS executed a reverse merger with AmeriGuard resulting in AGSS becoming the sole owner of AmeriGuard. This merger establishes AGSS as a company operating a viable guard company with annual sales of approximately $24,000,000. It also is in the position to access the capital market to generate the capital needed to begin its growth strategy of mergers and acquisitions within the security industry.

 

Prior to and after the merger AGSS has been working on developing the leadership team needed. We have in place a CEO with 20 years of experience in our industry and has been very successful in the government contracting market. Our CFO has over 35 years of business finance experience, the last 15 of which he has been focusing on organizational development consulting across multiple industries, and an Operations team on the east coast managing IT and our federal contracts. We have an exclusive contract with Think Equity a New York Investment Banking Firm, and we have engaged legal and SEC compliance professionals. We have a Board Directors with Wall Street and government security experience making us well positioned to aggressively grow the business.

Results of Operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022

 

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

 

2022 experienced a 10% increase of $2.2 million in security services revenue. The majority of which was from federal contracts in the amount of approximately $1.5 million and the remaining $700,000 from commercial guard services. The contract services revenue increase was the result of monthly fee increases within the four existing contract operated for during 2022 and 2021. As the costs of labor increases within the unionized contract so does the revenue. For the Commercial operations we saw a significant increase in demand for services, specifically our patrol services. Patrol services solve the problem of delayed police response. Our patrol officers respond to all alarms regardless of cause within 15 minutes of activation. This is a cost effect way for businesses to have protection without the high expense of a posted guard. This is an area of service we are continuing to expand.

 

Currently we have four federal contracts that approximate 87% of our total guard service revenue for the year ended December 31,2022. All federal contracts are awarded with a term of 5 years, with annual renewals. At the end of each contract year the government has the option to renew, cancel or renegotiate. Our four contracts and their respective terms are as follows:

 

  Social Security Administration, NSC -

September 2022 through September 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $3.145M

           
  Social security Administration, SSC   -

June 2022 through June 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $4.932M

           
  Social Security Administration, WBDOC   -

June 2021 through July 2026

Annual Revenue of approx. $5.838M

           
  National Institute of Health- EPA   -

May 2020 through March 2023

Annual Revenue of approx. $7.514M

 

We also had a significant increase of over $280,000 in other related income. This increase was due to a change in accounting practices. Prior to 2022, overhead expenses included management salaries were allocated to between AmeriGuard and three other related companies. Has part of our transition to prepare for the reverse merger we shifted to management agreements between AmeriGuard and the other related entities. As a result, we saw both an increase in other revenues along with an increase in administrative expenses.

 

As with all professional service industries the vast majority of expense in with direct labor and expenses associated with that labor. We are not an exception. Our direct expenses average around 89% of revenues. Total cost of services increased approximately $1.3 million in 2022, and that increase is expected in relation to the revenue increase in 2022 as previously discussed.

Operating Expenses and Other Expense

 

Operation expenses, overhead expenses, increased in 2022 over 2021 by approximately $1.3 million. Slightly more than half of that increase was in administrative salaries and related payroll expenses, of approximately $796,000. As mentioned earlier in 2021 overhead expenses included administrative salaries were allocated between related companies. In 2022, all the salaries were expensed to AmeriGuard. Also, during 2022 as part of the reverse merger preparations, we added to our administrative team a full-time CFO, an HR Manager and an Operations Management team along with the necessary support positions in payroll and accounting. This was done in the preparations for the merger and the following expansion.

 

Other areas of expense increase were in the cost of vehicle operations of approximately $138,000 due to the leasing of four additional vehicles for patrols along with an increase in fuel costs. The category of General administrative expenses increased approximately $350,000. Approximately $100,000 of the increase related to expenses no longer allocated to the related companies as we did in 2021. Then the merger related expenses new to 2022 such as office rent in New York, marketing expenses, travel, shareholder buyout loan expense and Board of Director expenses totaling approximately $200,000. The remainder of the increase were minor changes in other operational expenses.

 

Other expenses in the amount of $344,105 that occurred in 2022, but not in 2021 are non-operational expenses related specifically to the preparations for and after the reverse merger. These expenses are legal, compliance, accounting and merger related expenses that are treated as non-operational expense to prevent distortions of operational net income or loss. It is anticipated that there will be continued non-operational expenses from ongoing capital raise activities moving forward.

 

At this time, our operating structure and current level of expense can handle twice the revenue stream with minor increases to our operating overhead expenses. This allows the entire gross profit of any new contract or company acquisition to go straight to the bottom line, providing a consistent return on investment.

 

Net Income/(Loss) from Operations

 

We had a net loss of $74,003 in the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company had a net income of $128,038 in the year ending December 31, 2021. The decrease in the Company’s income can be attributed to the increase in expenses we incurred in the year ended December 31, 2022. Our operational structure that drives these costs has excess capacity in anticipation of significant growth via new contracts or more specifically, company acquisitions. This allows additional revenue to go directly to our bottom line (see moving forward comments).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations and proceeds from long-term debt financing. During the year ended December 31, 2022, operations generated net cash increase of approximately $223,500 while cash used from investing activities during the same period was approximately $266,600, with cash used from financing activities was approximately $859,000. The Company did not receive and proceeds from long term debt in 2022. The net decrease in cash for 2022 was approximately $902,000.

 

The main use of cash from financing activities was the first payment to shareholder from the shareholder buyout agreement signed in July 2022 in the amount of $686,990, as previously discussed. Other finance activities usage was SBA loan payments of $180,000 and owner distributions before merger in the amount of $63,000. The main use of cash in investing activities were office remodel expenses. The SBA loan is a 10-year loan with monthly principal and interest payments. Interest rate is variable at prime rate plus 2.75%, adjusted every calendar quarter. The interest rate on December 31, 2022, was 9%. Additional information is found in Note 6 of the notes to the financial statements.

 

On December 31, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $1,226,600, with total current assets of $3,207,750.

Moving Forward

 

During the past eighteen months we have been working to get to where we are today. It has been difficult and expensive, to get to this point of being a public company with the corporate structure, systems and team that can expand our business with increasing profitability. Our current overhead expense structure has the capacity to manage two to three times the revenues from one of two strategic sources.

 

Our first source is to continue down our historical path of seeking out contracts that meet our sweet spot and bidding with hope of successful award. However, this path is time consuming and isn’t a guarantee of the growth we desire and is outside of our control.

 

Our second source of growth is merger and acquisition. Now that we have the capital market available to us and our industry is positioned for long term growth, now is the time. The security industry continues to grow in opportunity, and at the same there’s a lot of consolidation occurring. , We plan to be the company acquiring others and quickly doubling our revenues with one or two key acquisitions. After which we could see all the gross profit from those companies going directly to our bottom line.

 

There are also potential acquisition opportunities in several other industries that could fit our business model. Those include transportation, cyber security, private security, ammunition manufacturing, and surveillance.

 

Management is very positive regarding profitable operations for the next twelve months based on the following:

 

AGSS operates in a growing industry.

 

The security industry is recession proof.

 

There are over 10,000 security companies operating in our market, with 50% available for acquisition.

 

Our management team, Board of Directors and supporting equity professionals can get the job done.

 

We have been and will continue to be a company that is very conservative with our resources and will use every possible dollar provide strength and good return to our investors.

 

We are in it for the long haul.

 

We make profits the old fashion way, hard work.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended due to a weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

 

The weakness identified by our management as of December 31, 2022, relates to the Company not having an audit committee. The Company intends to appoint an independent audit committee during 2023.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) or an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on ICFR due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for newly public companies. The SEC has adopted a transition period permitting a newly public company to wait until its second annual report to comply with Section 404(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). After that point, issuers that are emerging growth companies, or are not large, accelerated filers or accelerated filers are exempt from the requirements of SOX 404(b). As such, if the Company continues to satisfy as being an emerging growth company or other exemption standards as listed above, it will continue to be exempted from filing attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding ICFR.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company;
     
  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
     
  a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the Company;
     
  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
     
  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

There are no related party transactions as of the fiscal year ended December 31,2022.

 

Independence of the Board of Directors

 

For a director to be “independent” under these standards, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Applying corporate governance standards, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board of Directors has determined that one of our directors is independent. This does not constitute an independent board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

Critical audit matters 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.

 

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated on November 14, 2002, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares of no-par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, VP of Operations with 450 shares. The Company provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 5 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, the Company, entered into an agreement to gain 100% control of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc (HRAA) a public corporation, incorporated in Nevada, by the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred A-1 Stock from the seller, Custodian Ventures LLC. The purchase of HRAA allowed the Company to begin plans to consummate a reverse merger with HRAA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a public company. In March of 2022, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of HRAA, to Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS). Shortly thereafter, a stock name and ticker change report was filed with the SEC and the stock ticker of HRAA was changed to AGSS.

 

On December 9, 2022, the Company executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS. From that point forward, the financial statement filings will be the consolidation of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc, a Nevada company with Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. a California company.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we are or may face in the future. If any of the following do occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The company receives over 90% of its total revenue from four Federal contracts as described in Note 9 below. These contracts have specific terms, typically five years with the opportunity for extension, but there are no assurances they will be extended. Although we have had several extended in the past, there is no guarantee this will again happened in the future. However, there are significant direct expenses for each contract that also are removed from operations at the end of a contract. As a result, the revenue lost from a completed contract does not affect the bottom-line profits in an amount equal to the revenue lost. The actual net income impact depends on the contract.

 

The process required to acquire a government contract takes several months to complete prior to delivery of the proposal to the contracting agency. Due to the time span required to prepare a proposal and wining the contract is not guaranteed, the company maintains a department of individuals who monitor and write proposals for all government contracts that become open for bid on a continuing basis. It is important to the company that new contracts are acquired consistently to maintain and grow annual revenue.

 

Other risks to operations consist of State and Federal regulations, accelerating inflation, and overall business environment issues we cannot foresee.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,227,654 and $2,129,801 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over ninety percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 10 Years.

 

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

We have leased vehicles that are classified as operating leases per the guidelines. The Statement of Cash Flows reflects the implementation of this guideline in two ways. Both as transactions that affected cash flow and non-cash financing activities. The change in the operating lease liability of ($79,358) is the difference of the total liability of our lease ($373,745) from the total liability balance of ($294,387) as of December 31,2022. The change in operating lease asset of $71,049 is the net of the total asset of the leases ($373,745) and the remaining asset balance of $302,695 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

 

F-8

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when the Invoice for contracted services is issued as stipulated by the contract. Other services provided are recognized at the time the service is provided. Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2022, or 2021 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLE

 

On July 7, 2021, the company has entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the Preferred A-1 Stock of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. a SEC registered company for $450,000. In March 2022, Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. name was changed to Ameriguard Security Services Inc. (AGSS). On December 9, 2022, we signed the definitive merger agreement initiating a reverse merger with AGSS, resulting in the Company becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of AGSS. Prior to the merger, the Company funded the operational expenses of AGSS and treated these expenses as related party expenses. These expenses we eliminated when the two companies were consolidated for the financial statement presentation.

 

The receivable balances on December 31, 2022, and 2021 were $57,971 and $10,596 respectively. Balances adjusted to zero as a result of consolidation.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On December 9, 2022, the Company executed a reverse merger agreement with AGSS resulting in significant adjustments to the equity section of both companies. The result of the merger was AGSS became the sole owner of the Company. Although the merger is dated December 9, 2022, for financial statement presentation purposes, we have presented the Equity Section as if the merger occurred in 2021.

 

The first significant impact on stockholders’ equity was the issuance of 90,000,000 AGSS shares to the shareholders of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc (the Company) in exchange for 1000 shares of the Company, adding a net increase in common shares outstanding of 89,999,000. Next was the cancelation and conversion of series 675,000 A-1 preferred shares held by AGSS on December 31, 2020. The final result in the total number of shares outstanding is 93,417,302.

 

The next part of stockholder’s equity impacted was Additional Paid-in Capital. The impact was a reduction of Paid-in Capital of $579,000. This reduction was caused by an $89,999 impact of issuing new shares, a $10,000 impact form the cancelation of preferred shares and finally the $500,000 cost of the Company’s purchase of AGSS, formally Heath Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc.

 

There were two other transactions that impacted stockholders’ equity that occurred to the Company’s equity section relating to owner draws and the merger with a related company. As a part of the normal activity of the privately held Company, an S-Corp, shareholders were distributed funds accounted for as Owner Draws. The owner draw accounts were used primarily for taxes paid by the shareholders due to profits of the S-Corp being transferred to their personal returns along with some personal expenses and personal cash needs. For 2021, there was approximately $105,000 posted as Owner draw from historical balances of related party receivables. As part of the preparation for merger these inter-company balances were removed through the owner draw accounts. Total owner draw amounts were $473,238 and $62,824 for December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively.

 

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The company has a multiple vehicle lease agreement with Enterprise Leasing. As of December 31, 2022, the company had 19 vehicles under lease. The lease agreement includes maintenance services along physical damage insurance. The term of the lease agreement varies based on the date vehicle were leased and the respective terms for each vehicle. The master lease is updated annually and requires annual internal financial reports and company tax return.

 

NOTE 9 – CONCENTRATION OF SALES

 

The company generated approximately $24,600,000 and $22,100.000 in guard service revenue for the years 2022 and 2021 respectively. Of the total guard service revenue, approximately 87% was earned from four federal contracts operated by the company. The contracts and their respective terms are as follows:

 

  Social Security Administration, NSC   -

September 2022 through September 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $3.145M

           
  Social security Administration, SSC    -

June 2022 through June 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $4.932M

           
  Social Security Administration, WBDOC   -

June 2021 through July 2026

Annual Revenue of approx. $5.838M

F-11

 

 

NOTE 10 – LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

 

As of December 31, 2022, there was one employment issue pending. The issue involves a terminated employee alleging discrimination and wrongful termination. A lawsuit has not been filed only a demand letter has been presented. Management has been working with the attorneys to find a reasonable settlement to this dispute without going to trial. After several months of discussion and negotiation it appears that the complaint will be settled for $23,000. It is anticipated that an agreement may be reached by the end of March 2023.

 

Per Attorney letters received there are no other pending cases or legal matters.

 

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

 

Prior to the merger the Company had elected, with the consent of its stockholders, to be treated as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s income. As a result of the merger on December 9, 2022, the S Corporation status ends, and the consolidated 2022 tax return will be filed as a standard corporation. However, due to the losses incurred during the tax year ending 2022, there will be no tax liability for 2022. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On March 22, 2023, The Company was notified by the Contracting Officer of National Institute of Health-EPA our contract with them was not continuing and they were invoking the 45 days cancelation clause in the contract. As a result, the company will transition the closure of the contract on or about April 30, 2023. This will reduce on our annual revenue in the amount of approximately $5,122,000 in 2023, along with direct expenses that will be reduced by $4,650,000.

 

On March 23, 2023, the board of directors approved the purchase of TransportUS, Inc. While the Company explored the purchase of TransportUS, Inc., owned by Lawrence Garcia, the board of directors has determined, following due diligence, that TransportUS, Inc. is not current ready for acquisition at this time. We have therefore abandoned such undertaking for the foreseeable future.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated on November 14, 2002, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares of no-par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, VP of Operations with 450 shares. The Company provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 5 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, the Company, entered into an agreement to gain 100% control of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc (HRAA) a public corporation, incorporated in Nevada, by the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred A-1 Stock from the seller, Custodian Ventures LLC. The purchase of HRAA allowed the Company to begin plans to consummate a reverse merger with HRAA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a public company. In March of 2022, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of HRAA, to Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS). Shortly thereafter, a stock name and ticker change report was filed with the SEC and the stock ticker of HRAA was changed to AGSS.

 

On December 9, 2022, the Company executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS. From that point forward, the financial statement filings will be the consolidation of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc, a Nevada company with Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. a California company.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we are or may face in the future. If any of the following do occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The company receives over 90% of its total revenue from four Federal contracts as described in Note 9 below. These contracts have specific terms, typically five years with the opportunity for extension, but there are no assurances they will be extended. Although we have had several extended in the past, there is no guarantee this will again happened in the future. However, there are significant direct expenses for each contract that also are removed from operations at the end of a contract. As a result, the revenue lost from a completed contract does not affect the bottom-line profits in an amount equal to the revenue lost. The actual net income impact depends on the contract.

 

The process required to acquire a government contract takes several months to complete prior to delivery of the proposal to the contracting agency. Due to the time span required to prepare a proposal and wining the contract is not guaranteed, the company maintains a department of individuals who monitor and write proposals for all government contracts that become open for bid on a continuing basis. It is important to the company that new contracts are acquired consistently to maintain and grow annual revenue.

 

Other risks to operations consist of State and Federal regulations, accelerating inflation, and overall business environment issues we cannot foresee.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,227,654 and $2,129,801 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over ninety percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 10 Years.

 

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

We have leased vehicles that are classified as operating leases per the guidelines. The Statement of Cash Flows reflects the implementation of this guideline in two ways. Both as transactions that affected cash flow and non-cash financing activities. The change in the operating lease liability of ($79,358) is the difference of the total liability of our lease ($373,745) from the total liability balance of ($294,387) as of December 31,2022. The change in operating lease asset of $71,049 is the net of the total asset of the leases ($373,745) and the remaining asset balance of $302,695 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when the Invoice for contracted services is issued as stipulated by the contract. Other services provided are recognized at the time the service is provided. Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2022, or 2021 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Prior to the merger, the Company funded the operational expenses of AGSS and treated these expenses as related party expenses. These expenses we eliminated when the two companies were consolidated for the financial statement presentation.

 

The receivable balances on December 31, 2022, and 2021 were $57,971 and $10,596 respectively. Balances adjusted to zero as a result of consolidation.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On December 9, 2022, the Company executed a reverse merger agreement with AGSS resulting in significant adjustments to the equity section of both companies. The result of the merger was AGSS became the sole owner of the Company. Although the merger is dated December 9, 2022, for financial statement presentation purposes, we have presented the Equity Section as if the merger occurred in 2021.

 

The first significant impact on stockholders’ equity was the issuance of 90,000,000 AGSS shares to the shareholders of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc (the Company) in exchange for 1000 shares of the Company, adding a net increase in common shares outstanding of 89,999,000. Next was the cancelation and conversion of series 675,000 A-1 preferred shares held by AGSS on December 31, 2020. The final result in the total number of shares outstanding is 93,417,302.

 

The next part of stockholder’s equity impacted was Additional Paid-in Capital. The impact was a reduction of Paid-in Capital of $579,000. This reduction was caused by an $89,999 impact of issuing new shares, a $10,000 impact form the cancelation of preferred shares and finally the $500,000 cost of the Company’s purchase of AGSS, formally Heath Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc.

 

There were two other transactions that impacted stockholders’ equity that occurred to the Company’s equity section relating to owner draws and the merger with a related company. As a part of the normal activity of the privately held Company, an S-Corp, shareholders were distributed funds accounted for as Owner Draws. The owner draw accounts were used primarily for taxes paid by the shareholders due to profits of the S-Corp being transferred to their personal returns along with some personal expenses and personal cash needs. For 2021, there was approximately $105,000 posted as Owner draw from historical balances of related party receivables. As part of the preparation for merger these inter-company balances were removed through the owner draw accounts. Total owner draw amounts were $473,238 and $62,824 for December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively.

Prior to the merger the Company had elected, with the consent of its stockholders, to be treated as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s income. As a result of the merger on December 9, 2022, the S Corporation status ends, and the consolidated 2022 tax return will be filed as a standard corporation. However, due to the losses incurred during the tax year ending 2022, there will be no tax liability for 2022.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,227,654 and $2,129,801 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over ninety percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 10 Years.

 

Operating Leases

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

We have leased vehicles that are classified as operating leases per the guidelines. The Statement of Cash Flows reflects the implementation of this guideline in two ways. Both as transactions that affected cash flow and non-cash financing activities. The change in the operating lease liability of ($79,358) is the difference of the total liability of our lease ($373,745) from the total liability balance of ($294,387) as of December 31,2022. The change in operating lease asset of $71,049 is the net of the total asset of the leases ($373,745) and the remaining asset balance of $302,695 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when the Invoice for contracted services is issued as stipulated by the contract. Other services provided are recognized at the time the service is provided. Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2022, or 2021 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
