LEWIS MECHANICAL & METALWORKS, INC.
INDUSTRIAL DIVISION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Lewis Mechanical & Metalworks, Inc.- Industrial Division
(the"Company") is a division of Lewis Mechanical & Metalworks, Inc. which
in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lewis Construction Corporation, a
privately-held corporation based in Idaho. The Company performs industrial
fabrication and installation.
Revenue and Cost Recognition - Revenues from contracts are recognized on
the percentage-of-completion method, which is determined by the percentage
of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each
contract.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs. Selling and
general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the
period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance,
job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to
costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions
are determined.
Depreciation - The Company's property and equipment are depreciated over
their useful lives using the straight-line method.
Income Taxes - Lewis Construction Corporation has elected to be taxed
under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
those proivisions, the company does not pay federal corporate income taxes
on its taxable income, instead the stockholders are liable for federal and
state income taxes on their respective shares of the company's taxable
income. Therefore, these financial statements do not reflect any provision
for income taxes.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and contingent
assets and liabilities disclosed in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results inevitably will differ from those
estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.
