HOPE CONCRETE, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Nature of Business
Hope Concrete, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, was formed on October 26, 2018. The Company is a manufacturer of ready-mix concrete with plants in Bonham, Sherman, Rhome, Commerce, and Gainesville, Texas. During 2024, the Company acquired a site in Celina, Texas for another plant, but it was not operational at March 31, 2026. The Company is headquartered in Bonham, Texas.
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
On April 3, 2025, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lafayette Concrete Division, LLC. A Louisiana limited liability company. Lafayette Concrete Division, LLC purchased the assets and liabilities of an existing concrete plant in Maurice, Louisiana and immediately started business in early April 2025.
Consolidated Financial Statements
For reporting purposes, the operations of Hope Concrete, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary are consolidated. All intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated. As a result, the March 31, 2026 financials are consolidated and the March 31, 2025 reflect only the balances from Hope Concrete, LLC. The consolidated entity is referred to as the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825-10-50, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and line of credit also approximates its carrying value because the terms are comparable to similar lending arrangements in the marketplace.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT'D.)
MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has incurred no losses from such accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an allowance for credit losses to reflect any anticipated losses on the collection of accounts receivables balance. The Company uses the allowance method of accounting for doubtful accounts. The year-end balance is based on historical collections and management's review of the current states of existing receivables and estimates as to their collectability.
After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance for credit losses. At March 31, 2026 and 2025, management has recorded an allowance of $298,122 and $256,309, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories typically consist of raw materials and are valued at the lowest of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company reviews inventory balances to determine if the carrying amount exceeds their net realizable value. This review process incorporates current industry and customer-specific trends, current operating plans, historical price activity and selling prices expected to be realized. If the carrying amount of inventory exceeds its estimated net realizable value, the carrying values are adjusted accordingly.
Property and Equipment
The Company records purchases of property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes commences when the assets are placed in service on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are as follows:
|
Asset |
Estimated Useful Life |
|||
|
Equipment |
5 years | |||
|
Autos and Trucks |
5 to 10 years | |||
|
Buildings and Improvements |
39 to 40 years | |||
|
Leasehold improvements |
15 years | |||
|
Other Equipment |
5 to 25 years | |||
|

HOPE CONCRETE, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT'D.)
MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income and changes in member's equity.
Short-term Leases
The Company has elected to account for leases with a term of 12 months or less by recognizing the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and any variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred.
Right-of-use Assets and Liabilities
Right-of-use assets derived from finance lease agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. Finance lease liabilities are treated similar to standard note payable transactions.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, and is accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other".
Goodwill is reviewed and tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, management has determined there was no impairment of goodwill.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-18, an amendment to ASC 350. In accordance with ASU 2014-18, the Company does not recognize separately from goodwill, customer-related intangible assets, unless they are capable of being sold or licensed independently from other assets of the business, or noncompetition agreements.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets", the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, to test whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. If the tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset is greater than the expected cash flows to be generated by such asset, then an impairment adjustment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
Deferred Loan Costs
Costs incurred for entering into the Company's long-term debt are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. In accordance with ASU 2015-03, "Debt Issuance Costs", deferred loan costs are presented as debt discounts, net of the outstanding debt balances on the accompanying balance sheets. Deferred loan costs at March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $101,178 and $112,192, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, amortization of deferred loan costs totaled $10,077 and $10,077, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of income and changes in member's equity.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company's revenues are comprised of concrete sales and related products to customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by performing the service to its customers. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. The nature of the Company's contracts does not give rise to any notable amounts of variable consideration. Neither the type of product or service sold, or the location of sale significantly impacts the nature, amount, timing or uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.
A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation within the contract. Substantially all of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation. In instances where multiple performance obligations may exist, due to the short duration of the arrangements or the insignificance of certain performance obligations, in substantially all cases it is not necessary to allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations as the allocation would not result in a different accounting outcome.
All of the Company's revenue is from products transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally at delivery.
The Company expenses costs of obtaining a contract when incurred.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax status or tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
