FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The statements contained in this report with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “seek”, “estimate”, “project”, “could”, “may” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Management wishes to caution the reader of the forward-looking statements that any such statements that are contained in this report reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, regulatory, technological, key employees, and general business factors affecting our operations, markets, growth, services, products, licenses and other factors, some of which are described in this report including in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and some of which are discussed in our other filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are only estimates or predictions. No assurances can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of risks facing our company, and actual events may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events.

 

These risk factors should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this report that are attributable to our company or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Given these uncertainties, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (“AGS”), 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. AGS provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in five states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS, 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, AGS executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS (the “Company”). 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.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidating financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and notes include TransportUS Inc.’s financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

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 88% of its total revenue from five Federal contracts as described in Note 11 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 winning 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, staffing shortages, 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 United States 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $896,616 and $2,166,118 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 eighty-seven 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, Leased vehicle capital expenditures are depreciated based on lease term generally 4 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life of 15 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 capital lease value as calculated following FASB guidelines is presented as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the value is calculated to be $1,005,633. For the Operating Lease liability, the amount of $1,060,015 was calculated as of December 31, 2023. Both the lease asset and liability are adjusted annually.

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, 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 nonperformance.

 

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, 2023, and September 30, 2024, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 3 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

On December 31, 2022, TransportUS held a receivable from a related company, AmeriGuard Security Systems, Inc (AmeriGuard) in the amount of $350,000. The relationship with AmeriGuard relates to the contract the Company holds with the Veteran’s Administration in Long Beach, California. The contract required this relationship with AmeriGuard, at the time of award. Funds from the contract were shared with AmeriGuard, during the first 3.5 years of operations which ended April 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the receivable was adjusted to $350,000 and a note payable from AmeriGuard was executed. The $350,000 note is amortized over 20 years, with a balloon payment December 31, 2032. The interest rate is 6%, with the monthly payment of $2,500.

On December 9, 2022, we signed the definitive merger agreement initiating a reverse merger with AGSS, resulting in AGS becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of AGSS. Prior to the merger, AGS funded the operational expenses of AGSS and treated these expenses as related party expenses. These expenses were eliminated when the two companies were consolidated for the financial statement presentation.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On December 9, 2022, AGS 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 AGS. 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., in exchange for 1000 shares of AGS, 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 result in the total number of shares outstanding is 93,417,302.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire a related company owned by Lawrence Garcia, CEO. TransportUS Inc. was acquired with 3,000,000 shares with the initial 1,500,000 shares to purchase the company and a bonus of 1,500,000 shares when TransportUS renews its main services contract with the Veterans Affairs Department of Long Beach, CA. Although the purchase agreement is dated October 2023, for financial statement presentation purposes, we have presented the purchase as if it occurred in 2022. The only change to the Stockholders Equity report for 2024 is the inclusion of the consolidated net loss of $1,781,343.

NOTE 12 – LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

 

As of December 31, 2023, there are three employment issues pending. The issues revolve around terminated employees alleging the Company has failed to pay minimum wages, sick pay wages, meal period violations, rest period violations wage statement violations and violation of relevant unfair business practices acts. A lawsuit has been filed, but it is early in the process, and we are unable to comment on the merits of such a lawsuit at this time. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and intends to resolve it before a trial, if possible. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no additional litigation matters of relevance. Additionally, we have had one lender file a complaint as of July 17, 2024. The lender and the Company are in settlement negotiations over the actual amount, which we believe is immaterial, which is owed as well as whether certain contract obligations were appropriately complied with. The Company intends to resolve this complaint before any trial, if possible.

 

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

 

Due to the losses incurred during the tax year ending 2022, and the expected zero tax due for 2023, there is no estimated tax liability as of September 30, 2024. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

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. On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California. These two acquisitions within one year allows AGSS to access the capital market to generate the capital needed to continue its growth strategy of mergers and acquisitions within related industries.

 

AGSS continues developing the leadership team needed for success. We have in place a CEO with 20 years of experience in our industry who has experienced success in the government contracting market. Our CFO has 20 years of experience in improving business performance as well as organizational growth across various sectors. Our Senior Controller 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 of Directors with Wall Street and government security experience, making us well positioned to aggressively grow the business.

Results of Operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2024

 

Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

 

At the end of the third quarter of 2024 the Company experienced an 1.6% increase in services revenue compared to the same time period of 2023 of approximately $308,000. The increase was the result of a federal guard contract that ended in May 2023 that provided approximately $2,200,000 in revenue through June of that year. This revenue loss was offset by an increase in revenue of approximately $2,500,000 from federal transportation contracts through September 2024.

 

Along with the increase in revenue, AGSS experienced an increase in the gross profit margin due to the reduction of expenses, associated with the aforementioned contract that ended in May 2023. During 2024, AGSS has been focused on staff management of the three Federal Guard contracts currently held, to improve operation efficiencies and reduce overtime expenses. This effort, along with the increase in transportation revenue without a significant increase in direct expenses, has caused an increase in the gross profit margin. The results of the increase in revenue along with the reduction in direct expenses benefited AGSS by increasing the gross profit margin percentage from 9% in 2023 to 14% as of September 30, 2024 adding approximately $970,000 towards overhead expenses.

 

Operating Expenses and Other Expense

 

Operation expenses increased in 2024 over 2023 by approximately $999,000. Much of the increase, 61%, was the increase of approximately $549,000 in loan interest expense. Due to the tightening of capital markets during the previous nine months, we have had to accept less than favorable loan terms in order to expand our operations. We have been working diligently on finding more traditional financing to refinance our debt obligations. We anticipate receiving loan refinancing and an influx of capital before the end of the fourth quarter 2024.

 

The remaining increase of approximately $450,000 in operating expenses is from a combination of increases and decreases in various expense categories. There was an increase in professional fees of approximately $340,000, an increase in advertising and marketing of approximately $70,000, an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $71,000, an increase in staff training of approximately $51,000 an increase in licenses of approximately $48,000, an increase in vehicle expense of approximately $12,000, an increase in communications expense of approximately $24,000 and an increase in the general and administrative expense group of approximately $82,000. The $698,000 expense increase was offset by decreases of expenses in administrative salaries of approximately $215,000, and live scan expenses of $30,000.

 

At this time, we believe that our operating structure and current level of expense can handle significantly more revenue with minor increases in our operating overhead expenses. This would allow the entire gross profit of any new contract or company acquisition to flow directly to our earnings, providing a consistent return on investment for our stockholders. Management is focused on reducing operating expenses wherever possible and actively seeking companies to acquire.

 

Net (Loss) from Operations

 

Net loss from operations through September 2024 was approximately $1,819,000, which is a small increase over the loss during the same time period of 2023 by approximately $29,000. Separating the 9-month loss by quarter in 2024, the first quarter loss was approximately $857,000 with the second and third quarter losses averaging approximately $473,000 each, a 45% reduction. It is management’s expectation that quarterly loss for the 4th quarter will be under $200,000 and in the event we are successful in being awarded some new federal contracts, we can see the quarterly loss being eliminated by the end of 2024.

 

As previously mentioned, the 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 flow directly to our bottom-line earnings.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations and proceeds from debt financing. During the nine months ending September 30, 2024, operations generated a net decrease in cash of approximately $1,438,000 while cash used by investing activities was approximately $515,000. Financing activities added approximately $685,000. The net decrease in cash for the period was approximately $1,269,000.

 

On September 30, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of $896,616 with total current assets of $3,102,833.

Moving Forward

 

Following the reverse merger in December 2022, we have been diligently at work to achieve the goals that AGSS has laid out as part of its long-term plan. As to be expected, there have been challenges as we embark on our growth plan as a public entity. Although the costs of being a public company as well as accelerating the company’s growth, has impacted our bottom line, we believe that we are now in a position to execute our plans. Our current overhead expense structure has the capacity to manage multiple times the revenues from one of our two strategic sources. We remain confident and expect that our future will be profitable. As indicated above, our second and third quarter loss was 51% lower than the first quarter. That was due to an increase in revenue from our Transportation company and a reduction in overtime costs in our guard contracts.

 

Our first source of growth is to continue down our historical path of seeking out contracts that meet our sweet spot and bidding with the expectation of successful results. In early February 2024, TransportUS Inc was awarded a new contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs providing transportation for veterans in central LA. In July 2024 our Transportation company was awarded a new contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs providing transportation for veterans in Loma Linda CA. In late September we received a 6-month extension through March 2025, on our Long Beach contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs. TransportUS Inc currently has a proposal submitted with the Department of Veterans Affairs for San Diego California. This contract is to be awarded in the 4th quarter, 2024. If awarded to TransportUS, this will add $5 million a year in revenue. Ameriguard Security Services Inc continues to submit proposals for Federal contract as well. We currently have two contracts in process and several more in process. We anticipate several contracts to be awarded in the coming months. If Ameriguard is to be awarded one or two of the contracts we have in process, revenue increases would be between $5 and $15 million.

 

Our second source of growth is mergers and acquisitions. Now that we have access to capital markets and we operate in both the guard industry and the non-emergency medical transportation industry, we believe that we are well-positioned for long-term growth. The total available market for the security industry continues to grow, and at the same time, there is significant consolidation occurring. As a top-tier company in the industry, we can be a desired company for acquisition exits and quickly triple our revenues with one or two key acquisitions. After such acquisitions, we can see the additional gross profits from acquired companies flow directly to our earnings. Such returns may be quick and significant.

 

There are also acquisition opportunities in several other industries that fit our business model. Those include cyber security, private security, ammunition manufacturing, and surveillance to mention a few.

 

The Company continues the process of our first equity raise to recover our expended working capital and acquire additional companies. We anticipate the equity raise to be completed in the next quarter.

 

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

 

AGSS operates in growing industries.

 

The security industry continues to expand, and we are now a part of the expanding transportation industry as well

 

There are over 8,000 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 to 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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4. 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 September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2024, 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 framework our management uses to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is based on the guidance provided by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in its 1992 report: INTERNAL CONTROL - INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK. Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2024, due to the same weaknesses that rendered our disclosure controls and procedures ineffective. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire support staff to separate duties between different individuals. The Company plans to address these weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities. We have identified the following material weakness.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

Because of these weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, based on the criteria established in “INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK” issued by the COSO. Management believes that the weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results because the activity during this period was nominal. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. Management will further recruit qualified individuals, establish an audit committee, and ensure that board members have current and pertinent financial experience.

 

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.

PART II – Other Information

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has:

 

  been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses)
     
  had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
     
  been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
     
  been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
     
  been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there are three employment-related matters pending. The issues in such matters involve terminated employees alleging the Company has failed to pay minimum wages, sick pay wages, meal period violations, rest period violations, wage statement violations, and violation of the unfair business practices act. A lawsuit has been filed, but it is early in the process, and we cannot comment on the merits at this time. The Company believes the suit has no merit and intends to resolve it before a trial, if possible. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no additional litigation issues, nor changes in those in process.

 

Additionally, we have had one lender file a complaint as of July 17, 2024. The lender and the Company are in settlement negotiations over the actual amount, which we believe is immaterial, which is owed as well as whether certain contract obligations were appropriately complied with. The Company intends to resolve this complaint before a trial, if possible.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (“AGS”), 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. AGS provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in five states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS, 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, AGS executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS (the “Company”). 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.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidating financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and notes include TransportUS Inc.’s financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

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 88% of its total revenue from five Federal contracts as described in Note 11 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 winning 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, staffing shortages, accelerating inflation, and overall business environment issues we cannot foresee.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2024
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 United States 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $896,616 and $2,166,118 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 eighty-seven 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, Leased vehicle capital expenditures are depreciated based on lease term generally 4 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life of 15 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 capital lease value as calculated following FASB guidelines is presented as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the value is calculated to be $1,005,633. For the Operating Lease liability, the amount of $1,060,015 was calculated as of December 31, 2023. Both the lease asset and liability are adjusted annually.

 

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, 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 nonperformance.

 

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, 2023, and September 30, 2024, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 3 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

On December 31, 2022, TransportUS held a receivable from a related company, AmeriGuard Security Systems, Inc (AmeriGuard) in the amount of $350,000. The relationship with AmeriGuard relates to the contract the Company holds with the Veteran’s Administration in Long Beach, California. The contract required this relationship with AmeriGuard, at the time of award. Funds from the contract were shared with AmeriGuard, during the first 3.5 years of operations which ended April 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the receivable was adjusted to $350,000 and a note payable from AmeriGuard was executed. The $350,000 note is amortized over 20 years, with a balloon payment December 31, 2032. The interest rate is 6%, with the monthly payment of $2,500. For September 30, 2024, the note receivable is presented with the current portion of $9,300, and long-term portion of $333,950, and a long-term portion of $340,700 for December 31, 2023.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLE

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the Preferred A-1 Stock of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. a SEC registered company for $500,000. 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 AGS becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of AGSS.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with United States 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $896,616 and $2,166,118 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 eighty-seven 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, Leased vehicle capital expenditures are depreciated based on lease term generally 4 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life of 15 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 capital lease value as calculated following FASB guidelines is presented as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the value is calculated to be $1,005,633. For the Operating Lease liability, the amount of $1,060,015 was calculated as of December 31, 2023. Both the lease asset and liability are adjusted annually.

 

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, 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 nonperformance.

 

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, 2023, and September 30, 2024, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
