INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Shareholders
Albeck Gerken, Inc
Tampa, Florida

 

Report on Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Albeck Gerken, Inc. (a Nebraska Corporation) which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Albeck Gerken, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

 

Report on Supplementary Information

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The schedules of general and administrative expenses are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

ALBECK GERKEN, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Albeck Gerken, Inc. (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Nature of Business and Operating Cycle

 

The Company, a Nebraska S-Corporation, is a professional transportation engineering firm specializing in Arterial Transportation System Management, Operations (TSM&O), and Maintenance. This includes Traffic Operations Engineering, Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) operation and Transportation Analysis. The Company’s financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when earned and expenses when incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from those estimates used.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Investments

 

The Company has classified its investments as available for sale. These investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported net of income taxes as a component of shareholders’ equity. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are computed using the specific identification cost method.

ALBECK GERKEN, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a periodic basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible, thus no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment purchased with an original cost of $2,500 or more and an expected life of more than one year are recorded at historical cost. Additions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized, whereas expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold is removed from the appropriate asset and contra-asset accounts, with the resulting gain or loss recognized.

 

Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on straight-line and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives by type of assets are as follows:

 

 

 

Years

Software

 

3

Leasehold Improvements

 

40

Vehicles

 

5

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

 

3-7

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

The Company has granted stock appreciation rights to key employees. The stock appreciation rights vest over a 6 year period and are redeemable for cash value. The stock appreciation rights are not shares of stock of the Company and do not have voting rights. The cash value of the stock appreciation rights granted depends upon the future performance and growth of the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, which provide that in lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders report the Company’s taxable income on their individual tax returns. As a result of this election, no income taxes have been recognized in these financial statements. The Company may make distributions to the shareholders to cover the income taxes on their individual income tax returns.

 

The Company has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure and there are no material amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Compensated Absences

 

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid time off. This paid time off is granted in varying amounts based on length of service. The compensated absences liability balances were $63,576 and $49,584 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

 

·                  Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

·                  Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

 

·                  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

·                  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

·                  Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE C — INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2018.

 

Mutual funds: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2018.

NOTE L — INCOME TAXES

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed in law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%, limitations on the deductibility of interest expenses and executive compensation, and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. The Company does not expect the legislation to have a financial impact on the Company because, as a S-Corporation, it is not subject to federal income tax and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the shareholders.

 

Management has not taken any positions nor foresees any changes within the next 12 months for which it would be reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase or decrease. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
