Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Although these estimates are based on the Company's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from those estimated amounts and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which
separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief
operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and
assessing performance. As of
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated
future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of
the asset. Any impairment losses are measured and recorded based on discounted
estimated future cash flows and are charged to income on the Company's
consolidated statements of operations. In estimating future cash flows, assets
are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that
are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The
Company's estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions,
including expected commodity prices, production levels, capital requirements and
estimated salvage values. It is possible that actual future cash flows will be
significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of
recoverable material, future commodity prices, production levels and costs and
capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair

values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
- Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Revenue Recognition
As of
Revenue includes product sales of limestone, aggregate materials and other transportation charges to customers net of discounts, allowance or taxes, as applicable.
Accrued Reclamation Liability
The Company incurs reclamation liabilities as part of its mining activities.
Quarry activities require the removal and relocation of significant levels of
overburden to access materials of usable quantity and quality. The same
overburden material is used to reclaim depleted mine areas, which must be sloped
to a certain gradient and seeded to prevent erosion in the future. Reclamation
methods and requirements can differ depending on the quarry and state rules and
regulations in existence for certain locations. As of
Reclamation costs resulting from the normal use of long-lived assets, either owned or leased, are recognized over the period the asset is in use. The obligation, which cannot be reduced by estimated offsetting cash flows, is recorded at fair value as a liability at the obligating event date and is accreted through charges to operating expenses. The fair value is based on our estimate for a third party to perform the legally required reclamation tasks including a reasonable profit margin. This fair value is also capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The mining reclamation reserve is based on management's estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at its operating quarry site. Costs are estimated in current dollars and inflated until the expected time of payment using a future estimated inflation rate and then discounted back to present value using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity adjusted to reflect our credit rating. The Company will review reclamation liabilities at least every three years for a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Additionally, reclamation liabilities are reviewed in the period that a triggering event occurs that would result in either a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Examples of events that would trigger a change in the cost include a new reclamation law or amendment to an existing mineral lease. Examples of events that would cause a change in the estimated settlement date include the acquisition of additional reserves or early or delayed closure of a site. Any affect to earnings from cost revisions is included in cost of revenue.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders, after deducting preferred dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of the potentially dilutive effects of converting stock options or restricted stock purchase rights outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the potential dilutive effects of stock options or restricted stock purchase rights outstanding during the period determined using the treasury stock method. In

periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued, as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is recorded by the Company when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, its provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made.
Additionally, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. Accordingly, the Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recognized interest or penalties in its statement of operations and comprehensive loss since inception.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
In past years, the Company funded operations by using cash proceeds received through the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from debt financing. However, several significant transactions have occurred over the last 12 months that have positively impacted the net financial position of the Company and strengthened its financial position and its ability to meet future obligation over the next 12 months without a need to raise additional funds as it has traditionally been required to do. These include:
