1. | Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements |
The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the condensed statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and condensed statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared by ASW Steel, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early adoption is permitted if all provisions are adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on the presentation of its cash flow statement. The guidance will not affect the Company’s financial position or liquidity.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing generally accepted accounting principles. The guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial position, operating results and liquidity.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this update revise the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified and presented asnon-current on the balance sheet. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in this update require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements(continued)
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic835-30). This update is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by recognizing a debt liability in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures. The ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. See going concern discussion following.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09 and the amendments in this update create ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the codification. This standard completes a joint effort by FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and that can be applied consistently across various transactions, industries and capital markets. This standard was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is to be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis. ASUNo. 2015-14 was issued in August 2015 and the amendments in this update defer the effective date of ASUNo. 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $4,087,788 for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2016 and, as of September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $46,192,106. The Company has not achieved profitable operations. Until the Company generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. There is no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, and, if achieved, will be sustained on a continuing basis. Management does not believe the Company has sufficient resources to meet its operating and capital needs for the ensuing fiscal year, and will be required to seek additional sources of funding.
The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by securing additional debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional debt financing or that such debt financing, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional financing, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditure or sell certain assets. This material uncertainty gives rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

10. | Financial Instrument Risk |
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to this risk through its credit facilities which has a variable interest rate, which involves risks of default on repayment and price changes due to, without limitation, such factors as interest rates and general economic conditions.

10. | Financial Instrument Risk(continued) |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a counterparty to a financial instrument defaults on their financial obligations; if there is a concentration of transactions carried out with the same counterparty; or of financial obligations which have similar economic characteristics such that they could be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk relate primarily to the accounts receivable. There were four customers (2015 - three customers) making up 78% (2015 - 73%) of the total accounts receivable. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for these customers.
Currency risk
Included in the balance sheet are the following Canadian currency amounts which are subject for foreign exchange risk:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |

Accounts receivable | | $ | 2,019,115 | | | $ | 2,317,355 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | (4,738,002 | ) | | | (4,083,880 | ) |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company encounters difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of operational liquidity requirements, the Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date; will be forced to sell financial assets at a value, which is less than what they are worth; or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.
