For the Three Months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

(unaudited)

Note 1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Reliant Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Nevada corporation on May 19, 2014. On May 23, 2014, Reliant Holdings, Inc., along with Reliant Pools, Inc., formerly Reliant Pools, G.P., which was formed in September 2013 (“Reliant Pools”) and the shareholders of Reliant Pools, entered into an Agreement for the Exchange of common stock whereby Reliant Pools, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliant Holdings, Inc. Reliant Holdings, Inc. designs, and installs swimming pools. On October 10, 2018, the Company incorporated a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Texas, Reliant Custom Homes, Inc. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company purchased land on which it intends to construct a custom home. The Company is headquartered in Austin, Texas. In September 2021, we formed Reliant Solar Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned Texas subsidiary.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of March 31, 2022, are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standard had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as it did not require a change in revenue recognition. As such, comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.     

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

All of the Company’s revenue is currently generated from the design and installation of swimming pools. As such no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct.

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

Revenue for our contracts that satisfy the criteria for over time recognition is recognized as the work progresses. The majority of our revenue is derived from construction contracts and projects that typically span between 4 to 12 months. Our construction contracts will continue to be recognized over time because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer as all of the work is performed at the customer’s site and, therefore, the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed.  Contract costs include labor, material, and indirect costs.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

Revenue for our contracts that do not satisfy the criteria for over time recognition is recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for work performed for pool maintenance or repairs.  Unlike our construction contracts that use a cost-to-cost input measure for performance, the pool maintenance or repairs utilize an output measure for performance based on the completion of a unit of work. The typical time frame for completion of these services is less than one month. Upon fulfillment of the performance obligation, the customer is provided an invoice (or equivalent) demonstrating transfer of control or completion of service to the customer. We believe that point in time recognition remains appropriate for these contracts and will continue to recognize revenues upon completion of the performance obligation and issuance of an invoice.

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract.

Backlog

On March 31, 2022, we had approximately $3,722,000 of remaining performance obligations on our construction contracts, which we also refer to as backlog. We expect to recognize our backlog as revenue during 2022.

Contract Estimates

Accounting for long-term contracts and programs involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract.

Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost and availability of materials, and the performance of subcontractors.

Variable Consideration

Transaction price for our contracts may include variable consideration, which includes increases to transaction price for approved and unapproved change orders, claims and incentives, and reductions to transaction price for liquidated damages. Change orders, claims and incentives are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. We estimate variable consideration for a performance obligation at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled (or the most likely amount we expect to incur in the case of liquidated damages), utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled (or will be incurred in the case of liquidated damages). We include variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. The effect of variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders and claims reflected in transaction price (or excluded from transaction price in the case of liquidated damages) are not resolved in our favor, or to the extent incentives reflected in transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, previously recognized revenue. No adjustments on any one contract were material to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets) on the consolidated balance sheet. On our construction contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs prior to revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Home sale revenues - Home sale revenues and related profit are generally recognized when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the home closing date. Our performance obligation to deliver the agreed-upon home is generally satisfied at the home closing date. Home sale contract assets consist of cash from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, which are considered deposits in-transit and classified as cash. Contract liabilities, include customer deposit liabilities related to homes sold but not yet delivered to buyers, totaled $0 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to Home and Land revenue. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit.

Land sale revenues - We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sales are generally outright sales of specified land parcels with cash consideration due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

The Company does not charge interest to its customers and carries its customers’ receivables at their face amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Included in accounts receivable are balances billed to customers pursuant to retainage provisions in certain contracts that are due upon completion of the contract and acceptance by the customer, or earlier as provided by the contract. Based on the Company’s experience in recent years, the majority of customer balances at each balance sheet date are collected within twelve months. As is common practice in the industry, the Company classifies all accounts receivable, including retainage, as current assets. The contracting cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year, and accordingly, collection of retainage on those contracts may extend beyond one year.

The Company grants trade credit, on a non-collateralized basis (with the exception of lien rights against the property in certain cases), to its customers and is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and overall economic activity. The Company analyzes specific accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event that a customer balance is deemed to be uncollectible, the account balance is written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Classification of Construction Contract-related Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets are presented as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and contract liabilities are presented as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s contracts vary in duration, with the duration of some larger contracts exceeding one year. Consistent with industry practices, the Company includes the amounts realizable and payable under contracts, which may extend beyond one year, in current assets and current liabilities. The vast majority of these balances are settled within one year.

Equipment

Equipment, consisting mainly of Company vehicles, is stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred; significant renewal improvements are capitalized. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 depreciation expense was $3,934 and $2,340, respectively. The estimated useful lives of the Company vehicles are five years.

Home and Real Estate Inventory

Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying value is determined to not be recoverable, in which case the affected inventory is written down to fair value. Cost includes land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, including interest, real estate taxes, and certain direct and indirect overhead costs related to development and construction. The specific identification method is used to accumulate home construction costs.

We capitalize interest cost into homebuilding inventories. Interest expense is allocated over the period based on the timing of home closings.

Cost of revenues includes the construction cost, average lot cost, estimated warranty costs, and closing costs applicable to the home. Sales commissions are classified within selling, general, and administrative expenses. The construction cost of the home includes amounts paid through the closing date of the home, plus an accrual for costs incurred but not yet paid.

We assess the recoverability of our land inventory in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” We review our home and real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by property during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a property, generally, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is prepared in order to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, the assets are potentially impaired, requiring a fair value analysis. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. However, fair value can be determined through other methods, such as appraisals, contractual purchase offers, and other third-party opinions of value. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $0 of impairment charges.    

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as ASC Topic 260, “Earnings (Loss) per Share,” basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. There were no dilutive shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the outbreak, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations, workforce and markets served. While the Company has to date, not suffered any negative effects of COVID-19, the governmental response thereto, or any declines in demand for the Company’s services, the full extent of the COVID-19 outbreak and the ultimate impact on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged disruption could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company.

The Company recognized no bad debt expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The net asset (liability) position for contracts in process is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Note 4. Concentration of Risk

The Company had gross revenue of $1,031,284 and $583,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  There was one customers representing more than 10% of gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a total of 17.7% of total revenue. 

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

The Company compensated Michael Chavez, a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company, as a consultant to the Company, in the amount totaling $12,000 and $18,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 6. Equity

From January 2016 to September 2016, the Company sold 885,000 shares of restricted common stock for $44,250, or $0.05 per share in a private offering pursuant to a private placement memorandum. Purchasers in the offering included Lilia Chavez, the mother of Michael Chavez, the Company’s then President and then sole director (10,000 shares for $500), Alexander Spohn, the adult son of Becky Spohn, the Company’s then Controller (5,000 shares for $250), and Phyllis Laws, the mother of Becky Spohn, the Company’s then Controller (5,000 shares for $250).

In September 2016, the Company discovered that the investors in the January 2016 to September 2016 offering may not have been provided all of the information and materials (including current audited financial statements), as is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in order to claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of the Securities Act. The Company believes that all such transactions still complied with, and were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof; the securities were offered without any general solicitation by the Company or the Company’s representatives; no underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and the Company paid no underwriting discounts or commissions; the securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities (or book entry issuances) contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom; and the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Nevertheless, based on the above, the Company offered the January 2016 to September 2016 purchasers of the Company’s common stock the right to rescind their previous common stock acquisitions and receive, in exchange for any shares relinquished to the Company, a payment equal to their original purchase price plus interest at the applicable statutory rate in the state in which they reside. The rescission offer expired at 5:00 pm (CST) on October 26, 2016. None of the prior purchasers opted to rescind their prior purchases in connection with the rescission offer.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company learned that in 2009, Michael Chavez, the former President and former sole director, was barred from association with any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) member in any capability. Mr. Chavez similarly became aware of the FINRA bar at the same time. Pursuant to Rule 506(d), Rule 506 of the Securities Act, is not available for a sale of securities if among other persons, any director or executive officer of an issuer has been subject to certain disqualifying events after September 23, 2013, including suspension or expulsion from membership in a self-regulatory organization (SRO), such as FINRA. However, in the event the disqualifying event occurred prior to September 23, 2013, the issuer is not prohibited from relying on Rule 506, provided that pursuant to Rule 506(e) of the Securities Act, an issuer is required to furnish to each purchaser, a reasonable time prior to sale, a description in writing of any matters that would have triggered disqualification under Rule 506(d)(1), but occurred before September 23, 2013.

As Mr. Chavez’s FINRA bar constituted a disqualifying event under Rule 506(d), the Company was required to furnish to each purchaser of shares of the Company, a reasonable time prior to sale, a description in writing of such event. The Company did not do that, because as described above, the Company and Mr. Chavez only became aware of the FINRA bar after the close of the offering. Notwithstanding the fact that the Company was not aware of Mr. Chavez’s FINRA bar, the Company determined that the failure to provide such information may prohibit the Company from relying on a Rule 506 exemption for the prior issuances and sales of shares. The Company believes that all such transactions still complied with, and were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, because the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof; the securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or the Company’s representatives; no underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and the Company paid no underwriting discounts or commissions, the securities sold/issued were subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities (or book entry issuances) contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom; and the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Nevertheless, management determined that the Company would offer rescission to all of its stockholders in April 2017. In connection therewith, in April 2017, the Company offered every stockholder of the Company’s common stock the right to rescind their previous purchases and acquisitions and to receive, in exchange for any shares relinquished to us, a payment equal to their original purchase price or consideration provided, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate in the state in which they reside. The rescission offer expired at 5:00 pm (CST) on April 29, 2017. None of the Company’s stockholders opted to rescind their prior purchase/acquisitions in connection with the rescission offer.

The federal securities laws and certain state securities laws do not expressly provide that a rescission offer will terminate a purchaser’s right to rescind a sale of securities that was not registered under the relevant securities laws as required. Accordingly, the Company may continue to be potentially liable under certain securities laws for the offer and sale of the shares sold and issued between May 2014 and September 2016, totaling $57,950 of securities in aggregate, along with statutory interest on such shares, even after the Company completed the rescission offers.

This amount is recorded in equity in the accompanying balance sheets. This will be evaluated at each reporting period for reclassification to a liability if a rescission request is made.

Effective on November 3, 2017, Michael Chavez, the Company’s former sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, entered into a Voting Agreement with Elijah May, the Company’s then Chief Operating Officer (COO), and current sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President as well as the Company’s COO (the “Voting Agreement”), resulting in a change in control of the Company.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Mr. Chavez provided complete authority to Mr. May to vote the 4,000,000 shares of common stock which Mr. Chavez then held (and any other securities of the Company obtained by Mr. Chavez in the future) at any and all meetings of stockholders of the Company and via any written consents. Those 4,000,000 shares represented 27.4% of the Company’s common stock as of the parties’ entry into the Voting Agreement and together with the 4,500,000 shares held by Mr. May prior to the parties’ entry into the Voting Agreement, constituted 58.3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock. The Voting Agreement has a term of ten years, through November 3, 2027, but can be terminated at any time by Mr. May and terminates automatically upon the death of Mr. May. In connection with his entry into the Voting Agreement, Mr. Chavez provided Mr. May an irrevocable voting proxy to vote the shares covered by the Voting Agreement. Additionally, during the term of such agreement, Mr. Chavez agreed not to transfer the shares covered by the Voting Agreement except pursuant to certain limited exceptions. Due to the Voting Agreement, Mr. May held voting control over the Company due to his ability to vote 58.3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of voting stock as of the date of the Voting Agreement.

Effective on November 3, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Reliant Pools Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, each then consisting solely of Mr. Chavez, increased the number of members of the Board of Directors of each company from one to two and appointed Mr. May as a member of the Board of Directors of each company to fill the vacancy created by such vacancy.

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement and issued a total of 200,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for a six-month service period. The stock was valued at $34,000 at the date of grant and was recognized over the service period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $28,333 of expense related to these shares.

On January 27, 2021, the Company issued 700,000 shares of restricted common stock to Elijah May, its sole officer and director, 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to Joel Hefner, the Vice President of Reliant Pools, a non-executive officer position, and 700,000 shares of restricted common stock to Michael Chavez, a consultant to the Company, each in consideration for services rendered. The shares were valued at $0.20 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock on January 27, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $320,000 of expense related to these shares.

On June 15, 2021, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its then newly designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Elijah May, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and sole director in consideration for services rendered and to be rendered to the Company. Such shares of Series A Preferred Stock vote in aggregate fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote on all shareholder matters, voting separately as a class. Notwithstanding such voting rights, no change in control of the Company was deemed to have occurred in connection with the issuance since Mr. May controlled the vote of 59.1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the issuance date of such 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and therefore controlled the Company prior to such issuance. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive dividends, has no liquidation preference and no conversion rights. With the unanimous consent or approval of the board members, the Company has the option at its sole discretion to redeem any and all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $1.00 per share.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in Austin, Texas. The Company extended the office space lease from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for a rental rate of $1,850 per month.  On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for the office space, which has a term of 24 months, through March 31, 2024, and a monthly rental cost of $1,515 for the period from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 and $1,560 per month from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, together with costs and expenses of approximately $725 per month for 2022. Lease expense was $5,888 and $5,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On December 21, 2018, a former client, Brian Moats filed an Original Petition naming Reliant Pools as a defendant in a suit filed in the County Court at Law No. 2 for Travis County, Texas (Cause No. C-1-CV-18-012062). The suit alleged that the Company failed to install a French drain under the pool as required by the terms of the contract, alleged causes of action of breach of express warranty and breach of contract and sought damages of between $100,000 and $200,000. We denied Mr. Moats’ claims. In October 2020, Reliant Pools entered into a memorandum setting forth the proposed terms of a settlement with Mr. Moats. The settlement agreement terms, provide for Reliant Pools to pay Mr. Moats an aggregate of $145,000 (with $40,000 paid on October 30, 2020, $25,000 paid on December 4, 2020, and additional tranches of funds due from January 1, 2021 to March 1, 2022); the entry into an agreed judgment (which may be plead by Mr. Moats if we default in any payment); the provision of a security interest over our accounts receivable to secure amounts due to Mr. Moats; a non-suit of the lawsuit and our agreement to honor a prior warranty on Mr. Moats’ pool.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid Mr. Moats $65,000, pursuant to the settlement agreement, leaving $15,000 in accrued liabilities related to the above pending lawsuit with Mr. Moats. As of March 31, 2022, the final payment of $15,000 was paid to Mr. Moats.

On April 28, 2020, the Company secured a construction loan to be used to develop the land purchased in the third quarter of 2019. The loan is for $221,000, bears interest at the rate of 6.25% and is repayable one year after issuance. The loan has been further extended to October 28, 2022 (see Note 9, below). As of March 31, 2022, no proceeds have been drawn on this instrument.
