Summary Description of Business Operations





Residential Pools


We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Reliant Pools (which has been in operation since September 2013), are an award winning, custom, swimming pool construction company located in the greater Austin, Texas market. We assist customers with the design of, and then construct, recreational pools which blend in with the surroundings, geometric pools which complement the home's architecture and water features (e.g., waterfalls and negative edge pools) which provide the relaxing sounds of moving water. Moving forward, we may expand our custom pool construction operations locally and regionally, and nationally.

To date, the majority of our growth has been through referral business. We offer a wide variety of pool projects based upon price and the desires of the client. When our sales personnel meet with a prospective customer, we provide them with an array of projects from the basic pool building to more high-end projects that may include waterfalls, mason work, backyard lighting and in-ground spas to highlight the outdoor living experience.

Custom Homes

On October 10, 2018, the Company incorporated a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Texas, Reliant Custom Homes, Inc. and is attempting to expand its operations in the Austin, Texas area as a custom home builder. To date, the Company has engaged a consultant in connection with custom home builder services, and has purchased land located in Lago Vista, Texas, in the Texas Hill Country, outside of Austin, Texas, on which it has started constructing a custom home which it then plans to sell. Current plans are for the custom home to be approximately 2,300 square feet. In April 2020, the Company obtained a construction loan for $221,000 for the construction costs associated with the build, of which $102,177 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022, which funds were used for building materials. The loan has been renewed and has been extended through October 28, 2022, provided that the Company is currently working to further extend the note. To date, the Company's subcontractors have completed the drywall and the Company plans to begin interior work on the custom home in the next several weeks. The Company currently estimates completing construction on the home sometime in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

The construction of our custom home is being conducted under the supervision of an on-site construction manager. Substantially all of our construction work has been, and is planned to continue to be, performed by independent subcontractors under contracts that establish a specific scope of work at an agreed-upon price. In addition, we anticipate that our construction field manager will interact with homebuyers throughout the construction process and instruct homebuyers on post-closing home maintenance.

We plan to maintain efficient construction operations and use industry and company-specific construction practices.

Generally, we anticipate the construction materials to be used in our home builder operations will be readily available from numerous sources. However, the cost of certain building materials, especially lumber, steel, concrete, copper, and petroleum-based materials, is influenced by changes in global commodity prices, national tariffs, and other foreign trade factors. Additionally, the ability to consistently source qualified labor at reasonable prices may be challenging and we cannot determine the extent to which necessary building materials and labor will be available at reasonable prices in the future.

We currently anticipate building custom homes on a build-to-order basis where we do not begin construction of the home until we have a signed contract with a customer. However, we may in the future also build speculative ("spec") homes, which would allow us to compete with existing homes available in the market, especially for homebuyers that require a home within a short time frame.

We have started to market our custom home services and plan to have our first custom home complete sometime during the first quarter of 2023.





Plan of Operations


We had working capital of $59,093 as of September 30, 2022. With our current cash on hand, expected revenues, and based on our current average monthly expenses, we don't currently anticipate the need for additional funding in order to continue our operations at their current levels and to pay the costs associated with being a public company for the next 12 months. We may however require additional funding in the future to expand or complete acquisitions. Our plan for the next twelve months is to continue using the same marketing and management strategies and continue providing a quality product with excellent customer service while also seeking to expand our operations organically or through acquisitions as funding and opportunities arise, and, as discussed above, we have also purchased a homesite on which we are in the process of constructing a custom home, which we then plan to sell. As our business continues to grow, customer feedback will be integral in making small adjustments to improve the product and overall customer experience. We plan to raise additional required funding when required through the sale of debt or equity, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have seen a sharp increase in demand for pools, which we attribute to more people working from home, and sheltering in place. We currently have a backlog which continues into December 2022. We are unclear whether the current demand for pools will continue. Notwithstanding that, things are currently getting back to close to normal (with a few exceptions) as to the availability of equipment, after experiencing delays in obtaining required equipment from the 2021 winter storms which affected the Austin area and supply chain constraints. Overall, demand for trade workers is extremely high, which has resulted in higher prices for pools, which we attempt to pass on to customers as much as possible.

Results of Operations


For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

We had revenue of $1,360,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $616,470 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $744,006 or 121% from the prior period. We recognize revenue based on the percentage that a job is complete rather than upon completion. As such, total revenue recognized for each period may be different than the product of total completed pools during each period multiplied by the average pool contract price of each pool during such period, as the construction of certain pools may have started in one period and ended in another. Revenue increased during the current period due to an increase in pool count during the comparable periods and general timing of contracts as well as the higher priced pools being completed in the current period. We have seen an increase in the demand for pools since March 2020, which we believe is due to more people working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We had cost of goods sold of $910,152 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to cost of goods sold of $523,719 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $386,433 or 74% from the prior period.

Cost of goods sold increased mainly due to an increase in masonry, stone and tile installed in and around our pools and coping expenses associated therewith, excavation and steel costs and gunite, mainly due to increased costs of materials and labor due to supply constraints and increases in pricing due to inflation; however, we have seen an increase across the board in costs and expenses due to increased pricing due to inflation. The timing of our cost of goods sold is materially impacted based on the overall scope and timing of the projects we are working on. In general, costs of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were higher than for the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to an increase in the number of pools we are building and an overall increase in material and labor costs due to inflation and in certain cases supply constraints. The expenses which attributed to the increase in cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, included:

Cost of goods sold represents our pool construction costs, including raw materials, outsourced labor, installed equipment, tile and coping expenses, excavation costs and permit expenses. We anticipate our cost of goods sold increasing in approximate proportion to increases in revenue and decreasing in approximate proportion to decreases in revenue, moving forward, as our cost of goods sold are factored into the price we charge for our pools and represent the cost of pool construction, the majority of which is not fixed and varies depending on the total number of pools and construction projects we complete during each period and the size and complexity of such projects.

We had a gross margin of $450,324 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of $92,751 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $357,573 or 386% from the prior period due to the reasons described above. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 33.1% and 15.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased due to higher priced pools being completed in the current period.

We had operating expenses consisting solely of general and administrative expenses of $211,817 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to operating expenses consisting solely of general and administrative expenses of $149,507 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Operating expenses increased by $62,310 or 42% from the prior period mainly due to higher payroll expenses.

We had interest income of $187 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to interest income of $43 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest income was in connection with interest generated by funds the Company maintained in its savings account.

We had interest expense of $1,022 and $237, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, due to interest paid in connection with loans for Company vehicles, including a car used by our Chief Executive Officer and amounts outstanding on our construction loan, each as described in greater detail under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

We had net income of $237,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $56,950 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase in net income of $294,622 or 517%, mainly due to the $744,006 or 121% increase in revenue, offset by the $386,433 or 74% increase in cost of goods sold and the $62,310 or 42% increase in general and administrative expenses.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine months Ended September 30, 2021

We had revenue of $3,438,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $2,006,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1,431,586 or 71% from the prior period.

As such, total revenue recognized for each period may be different than the product of total completed pools during each period multiplied by the average pool contract price of each pool during such period, as the construction of certain pools may have started in one period and ended in another. Revenue increased during the current period due to an increase in pool count during the comparable periods and general timing of contracts as well as the higher priced pools being completed in the current period.

Proceeds from the Loan were available to the Company to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, rent, utilities and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest could be forgiven to the extent Loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP (including that up to 60% of such Loan funds were used for payroll). The Company used the entire Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and applied for forgiveness of the respective Loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP. On April 27, 2021, the Company was notified that the outstanding principal and accrued interest for the PPP Loan was forgiven in full by the SBA.

We had working capital of $59,093 as of September 30, 2022, compared to a working capital deficit of $262,518 as of December 31, 2021.

We had $59,177 of net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $94,975 of net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2022 period was mainly due to $351,283 of net income, offset by $175,907 of house and real estate inventory and a reduction of $160,537 in contract liabilities. For the 2021 period, net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to $349,333 of stock-based compensation and $99,454 of increase in contract liabilities, offset by $320,436 of net loss and $51,577 of gain on forgiveness of debt. Stock based compensation includes the issuance, on January 27, 2021, of 700,000 shares of restricted common stock to Elijah May, our 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.

We had $74,912 of net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was mainly due to $102,177 of proceeds from our construction loan offset by $15,293 of payments on the notes payable related to our vehicle loans and $11,972 of payments on right-of-use liability, as compared to $6,902 of cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which were due to payments on our vehicle loans.

We do not currently have any additional commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors or majority stockholders. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then stockholders. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In the event we are unable to raise additional funding and/or obtain revenues sufficient to support our expenses, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business operations, and any investment in the Company could become worthless.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company's management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
