any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefrom and
provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed incorporated herein. When so
furnished, the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond.

Management is responsible for the accompanying combined financial statements of C & E Excavating,
Inc. (an S corporation) & Affiliate, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2022
and 2021, and the related combined statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the
years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. We have performed the compilation engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards
for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of
the AICPA. We did not audit or review the combined financial statements nor were we required to
perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by
management. We do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any assurance on these combined
financial statements.
Management has elected to omit substantially all the disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. If the omitted disclosures were included in the
combined financial statements, they might influence the user's conclusions about the Company's
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Accordingly, the combined financial statements
are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
