FORM 10-K
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
a. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Pismo Coast Village, Inc., the "Registrant" or the "Company," was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on April 2, 1975. The Company's sole business is owning and operating Pismo Coast Village RV Resort, a recreational vehicle resort (hereinafter the "Resort") in Pismo Beach, California. The Resort has continued to enhance its business by upgrading facilities and services to better serve customers.
b. BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company is engaged in only one business, namely, the ownership and operation of the Resort. The Company generates revenue from rental of camping sites, recreational vehicle storage, recreational vehicle repair and retail sales from a general store and recreational vehicle parts store. Accordingly, all of the revenues, operating profit (loss) and identifiable assets of the Company are attributable to a single industry segment.
Pismo Coast Village RV Resort is a full-service 400-space recreational vehicle resort. Its Resort operations include site rentals, RV storage business, video arcade, laundromat, and other income sources related to the operation. The retail operations include a general store, RV parts store, and RV repair shop. In addition, the Company has a recreation department that provides a summer season youth program and recreational equipment rentals.
PUBLIC AND SHAREHOLDER USERS
The present policy of the Company is to offer each shareholder the opportunity for 45 nights of free use of sites at the Resort; 25 nights may be used during prime time and 20 nights during non-prime time. The free use of sites by shareholders is managed by designating the nights of the year as prime time and non-prime time. A prime time night is one that is most in demand, for example, Memorial Day Weekend and the period from June 1 until Labor Day. Non-prime time is that time with the least demand. Each shareholder is furnished annually a calendar that designates the prime and non-prime time nights; it also provides a schedule of when reservations can be made and the procedure for making reservations. Shareholder's free use of sites average approximately 21% to 24% annually (refer to Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, page 9).
SEASONAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS
The business of the Company is seasonal and is concentrated during prime days of the year which are defined as follows: President's Day Weekend, Easter week, Memorial Day Weekend, summer vacation months, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Weekend and Christmas vacation.
WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
By accumulating reserves during the prime seasons, the Company is able generally to meet its working capital needs during off-season. Industry practice is to accumulate funds during the prime season, and use such funds, as necessary, in the off-season. The Company has arranged, but not used, a $500,000 line of credit to ensure funds are available, if necessary, in the off-season.
3
COMPETITION
The Company is in competition with nine other RV parks located within a five-mile radius. Since its property is the only property located adjacent to the beach, it has a competitive edge. The Company is recognized as a recreational vehicle resort rather than a park because of its upgraded facilities and amenities, which include 66 channels of satellite TV, high-speed wireless internet service throughout the property, a heated pool, a miniature golf course and a recreational program. The Resort is noted for its ability to provide full service, which includes RV storage and RV repair and service. The Resort is consistently given high ratings by industry travel guides based on resort appearance, facilities offered, and recreational programs. In November 2007, Pismo Coast Village RV Resort was awarded the designation of 2007/2008 RV Park of the Year, Large Park Category, by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), which has a membership of more than 3,900 properties. Pismo Coast Village RV Resort also received national Park of the Year honors in 1999, 1997, and 1995. In fiscal year 2004, Pismo Coast Village RV Resort was awarded the designation of RV Park of the Year - Mega Park Category 2004 by the California Travel Parks Association (CTPA), now known as the California Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (CalARVC). These factors allow the Resort to price its site rental fees above most of its competition based on perceived value received.
Competition for the tourist market is strong between the cities on the Central Coast of California. Resort management and staff are involved with the City of Pismo Beach, Chamber of Commerce, Conference and Visitors Bureau, and are major sponsors in cooperative events and advertising. The Resort continues to market off-season discounts and place advertisements in trade publications and industry directories. In addition, the Company places its brochure with companies selling or renting recreational vehicles and has found the Resort's website and social media to be very effective. The marketing program also targets groups and clubs by offering group discounts, meeting facilities, and catering services. The Company's marketing plan was funded $46,005 for fiscal year 2018, which was developed out of operating revenues. The major source of the Company's business is repeat business, which has been developed by attention to good customer service and providing quality recreational facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company is affected by federal, state and local antipollution laws and regulations. Due to the nature of its business operations (camping, RV storage and small retail store sales), the discharge of materials into the environment is not considered to be of a significant concern, and the EPA has not designated the Company as a potentially responsible party for clean up of hazardous waste.
The main property of the Resort is located within the boundaries of those lands under the review and purview of the Coastal Commission of the State of California and the City of Pismo Beach. The water and sewer systems are serviced by the City of Pismo Beach. The Company was subject to state and federal regulations regarding the fiscal year 1996 reconstruction of an outflow structure that empties into Pismo Creek at the north boundary of the Resort. Because the Resort is within the wetlands area, the California Coastal Commission required permits for repair and construction to be reviewed by the following agencies: City of Pismo Beach, State Lands Commission, Regional Water Quality Board, State of California, California Department of Fish and Game, State Department of Parks and Recreation and the Army Corps of Engineers.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2018, the Company employed approximately 62 people, with 24 of these on a part-time basis and 38 on a full-time basis. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, additional staff is needed during peak periods and fewer during the off-season. Staffing levels during the fiscal year ranged from approximately 57 employees to 66 employees. Management considers its labor relations to be good.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company has remained conservative when considering rates and rate increases. As a result of experiencing increasing operational expenses and conducting a local comparative rate study, the Board of Directors (Board) voted to increase all trailer towing and set up rates by $5 effective January 1, 2019. The Board also voted at the May 2018 meeting to increase all nightly rates $2 per night effective October 1, 2018. It is anticipated the proposed rates will continue to market site usage at its highest value and not negatively impact the Company's ability to capture an optimum market share.
c. REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. files quarterly reports, an annual report, and periodic reports, providing the public with current information about the Company and its operations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The SEC maintains an internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy statements, and other information that the Company files electronically with the SEC.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal asset consists of the Resort, which is located at 165 South Dolliver Street in Pismo Beach, California. The Resort is built on a 26-acre site and includes 400 campsites with full hookups and nearby restrooms with showers and common facilities, such as a video arcade, recreation hall, restaurant, general store, swimming pool, laundromat, and three playgrounds.
In 1980, the Company purchased a 2.1-acre parcel of real property located at 2250 22nd Street, Oceano, California, at a price of $66,564. The property is being used by the Company as a storage facility for recreational vehicles. The storage capacity of this lot is approximately 121 units. On October 20, 2014, the Company entered into a long-term lease with Verizon Wireless for the installation of a cell tower. The lease term is for five (5) years with up to four (4) additional five (5) year terms unless lessee terminates the lease at the end of the current term.
In 1981, the Company exercised an option and purchased a 3.3-acre parcel located at 424 South Dolliver Street, Pismo Beach, California, at a price of $300,000. The property, which previously had been leased by the Company, is used primarily as a recreational vehicle storage yard. The storage capacity of this lot is approximately 120 units. On June 6, 2016, the Company entered into a long-term lease with Verizon Wireless for the installation of a cell tower. The lease term is for five (5) years with up to four (4) additional five (5) year terms unless lessee terminates the lease at the end of the current term.
In 1988, the Company purchased approximately 0.6 acres of property at 180 South Dolliver Street, Pismo Beach, California, across the street from the main property, consisting of a large building with a storefront and one large maintenance bay in the rear. Also, on the property is a smaller garage-type building with three parking stalls. The Company enlarged its recreational vehicle repair operation, added RV storage for approximately eleven units and developed the storefront into an RV parts store. The property was purchased for $345,000, of which $300,000 was financed and paid in full during fiscal year 1997.

On December 31, 1998, the Company closed escrow on a parcel of property located at 1295 Sand Dollar Avenue, Oceano, California, to be developed as an additional RV storage facility. The 5.5-acre property is located adjacent to existing Company RV storage. On October 14, 1999, construction was completed, and the Company received County approval to occupy the premises. The property was purchased for $495,000, of which $395,000 was financed and paid in full in July 2000. Development cost amounted to $195,723 and was allocated from operational cash flow. Storage capacity for this property is approximately 408 units and is currently full.
On February 28, 2003, the Company closed escrow on a parcel of property to be developed as an additional RV storage facility. The 4.7-acre property is located on Fountain Avenue in Oceano, California, and was purchased for $650,000, of which $500,000 was financed. The note on this property was paid off in September 2005. The construction permit granted by the County of San Luis Obispo was contingent upon permit approval by the California Coastal Commission. In January 2006, the Commission denied the permit based on wetland conditions. The property is currently being considered for another use.
Due to the continued demand for RV storage and the denial of the aforementioned permit, the Board of Directors elected to purchase additional property. On January 11, 2006, the Company closed escrow on a six-acre property located at 974 Sheridan Road, Arroyo Grande, California, previously developed as an RV storage facility. The purchase price was $2.1 million, and included approximately 80 existing storage customers. This property had been permitted and developed the previous year, and is considered in good condition with a capacity of approximately 229 units.
On April 6, 2006, the Company purchased the 2.2-acre property located at 2030 Front Street in Oceano, California, that it previously rented from Union Pacific Railroad for RV storage. The purchase price was $925,000 and the condition is considered good. The lot is operating at full capacity with 181 units.
On May 9, 2008, the Company closed escrow on a 19.55-acre property located at 2180 Arriba Place in Arroyo Grande, California, to be developed for RV storage. The purchase price was $3.1 million for the undeveloped land. The Company received a development permit through the County of San Luis Obispo Planning Commission. The development was completed in May 2010, and the storage capacity is expected to be approximately 900 units. On January 21, 2013, the Company entered into a long-term lease with Verizon Wireless for the installation of a cell tower. The lease term is for five (5) years with up to four (4) additional five (5) year terms unless lessee terminates the lease at the end of the current term.
On May 20, 2015, the Company closed escrow on a one-acre property located at 2096 Nipomo Street in Oceano, California, to be developed as an RV Repair and Service facility. The purchase price was $425,000 and required the demolition of a two-story residence. The Company successfully expanded the usable property area by seeking road abandonment. On September 1, 2017, the Company received a Minor Use Permit with conditions from San Luis Obispo County. Currently, construction plans are being finalized in order to obtain the necessary grading and building permits. The Company anticipates beginning construction during the last quarter of 2018.
There is no deferred maintenance on any of the Resort's facilities. The Company's facilities are in good condition and adequate to meet the needs of the shareholder users as well as the public users. The Company continues to develop sufficient revenue from general public sites sales to support a continued positive maintenance program and to meet the demands of shareholders use of free sites.
Management considers the Company's insurance policies offer adequate coverage for risk and liability exposure.

1. TRAILER STORAGE YARDS
In 1986, the Company leased a parcel of land 100 feet wide by 960 feet long, located at 2030 Front Street in Oceano, California, from the Union Pacific Railroad Corporation. The property is being used by the Company as a storage facility for recreational vehicles. Capital improvements in the amount of $40,000 were made to this property, which provides storage for approximately 180 units. On July 29, 2005, Union Pacific Railroad Corporation sold the property to the Weyrick Family Trust, who, after entering into a five-year lease, agreed to sell the property to the Company for $925,000. This transaction was completed April 6, 2006.
Associated with the previously mentioned property, and included within the fenced storage perimeter, is the lease of a ten-foot by 960-foot section belonging to Union Pacific Railroad. This lease also allows for the Company's fence to encroach upon the lessor's property. This annual lease is currently $6,753, with a 3% automatic annual increase.
In 1991, the Company developed a lease for a five-acre RV storage lot at the Oceano Airport clear zone as storage for approximately 310 RVs. This lot, which is located at 1909 Delta Lane in Oceano, was developed to replace a 100-unit storage lot that was closed when the lease was not renewed. Construction was completed in January 1992 and capital improvements in the amount of $330,768 were made to this property of which $300,000 was financed and paid in full during fiscal year 1997. The original lease on the storage lot was for five years and the Company has executed a third five-year option with the County of San Luis Obispo that expired December 31, 2006. In response to the Company's request for another five-year extension, the County has answered that, until the Oceano Airport Master Plan is updated, the lease will be a month-to-month holdover.
Lease payments for the first year of control and occupancy area were $1,500 per month, $2,000 per month for the second year, and continuing years are tied to the "CPI" index. During fiscal year 2018, lease payments were made in the amount of $38,458. Current rent payments are $3,302 and may be impacted in the future by the flood district assessment.

OVERVIEW
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. operates as a 400-space recreational vehicle resort. The Company includes additional business operations to provide its users with a full range of services expected of a recreational resort. These services include a store, video arcade, laundromat, recreational vehicle repair, RV parts shop and an RV storage operation.
The Company is authorized to issue 1,800 shares, of one class, all with equal voting rights and all being without par value. Transfers of shares are restricted by Company bylaws. One such restriction is that transferees must acquire shares with intent to hold the same for the purpose of enjoying camping rights and other benefits to which a shareholder is entitled. Each share of stock is intended to provide the shareholder with the opportunity for 45 nights of free site use per year. However, if the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds from the public, the Company may be required to charge shareholders for services.
Management is charged with the task of developing sufficient funds to operate the Resort through site sales to general public guests by allocating a minimum of 175 sites to general public use and allocating a maximum of 225 sites for shareholder free use. The other service centers are expected to generate sufficient revenue to support themselves and/or produce a profit.
The Company continues to promote and depend upon recreational vehicle camping as the primary source of revenue. The rental of campsites to the general public provides income to cover expenses, complete capital improvements, and allow shareholders up to 45 free nights camping annually. Additional revenues come from RV storage and spotting, RV service and repair, on-site convenience store, and other ancillary activities such as laundromat, arcade, and bike rental.
The RVing public actively seeks accommodations on the Central Coast despite volatile fuel prices and personal financial uncertainties. RVing offers an affordable outdoor recreational experience, and the Company provides quality facilities and services in a highly popular location. Site occupancy for fiscal year 2018 was up 2.2%, following last years record occupancy, due to good weather, the improving economy, and a nationwide increased demand for outdoor recreation and camping. Revenues from ancillary operations, such as the General Store, RV service, laundromat, arcade, and bike rental, all contribute to the profitability of the Company.
RV storage continues to provide a significant portion of the Companys revenue. RV storage provides numerous benefits to the customer including: no stress of towing, no need to own a tow vehicle, use of RV by multiple family members, and convenience.
After years with no debt, the Board of Directors approved expansion of the RV storage program and understood this investment would require substantial financing. Management has made it a high priority to affect timely construction and successful marketing in order to maximize return on this investment.

2018 COMPARED WITH 2017
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS:
· increased gas prices;
· increased competition from other resorts in our market;
· increases in operating costs due to inflation, labor costs, workers' compensation and healthcare related costs, utility costs, insurance and unanticipated costs such as acts of nature and their consequences and other factors that may not be offset by increased rates;
· changes in interest rates, cost and terms of debt financing;
13
· changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance with laws and regulations, fiscal policies and ordinances;
· adverse effects of market conditions, which may diminish the desire for leisure travel; and
· adverse effects of a downturn in the leisure industry.
The leisure and travel business is seasonal and seasonal variations in revenue at our Resort can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenue.
Carrying our outstanding debt may harm our business and financial results by:
Our Resort has a need for ongoing renovations and potentially significant capital expenditures in connection with improvements, and the costs of such renovations or improvements may exceed our expectations.
· construction cost overruns and delays;
· a possible shortage of available cash to fund capital improvements and the related possibility that financing of these expenditures may not be available to us on favorable terms;
· uncertainties as to market demand or a loss of market demand after capital improvements have begun;
· disruption in service and site availability causing reduced demand, occupancy, and rates; and
· possible environmental issues.
14
We rely on our executive officers, the loss of whom could significantly harm our business.
Uninsured and underinsured losses could harm our financial condition, and results of operations.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.

Pismo Beach, California
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (the Company) (a California corporation) as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2018, and the notes and Schedule of Operating Expenses (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PISMO COAST VILLAGE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (Company) is a recreational vehicle camping resort. Its business is seasonal in nature with the fourth quarter, the summer, being its busiest and most profitable.
The Company's revenue is recognized on the accrual basis as earned based on the date of stay. Expenditures are recorded on the accrual basis whereby expenses are recorded when incurred, rather than when paid.
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $6,070 and $11,444 of cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at year-end, as well as historical bad debt write-offs, and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts. Management did not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of September 30, 2018 or 2017.
Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are comprised primarily of furnished goods in the general store and in the RV repair shop.
All property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on cost of the assets, less allowance for salvage value, where appropriate. Depreciation rates are based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Building and park improvements | 5 to 40 years |
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements | 3 to 31.5 years |
Transportation equipment | 5 to 10 years |

NOTE 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Investments
Investments in securities have been classified in the balance sheet, according to managements intent, as securities available-for-sale under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320 Investments Debt and Equity Securities.
Available-for-sale securities consist of investment securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specification method.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) (the Topic). This Topic provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at that reporting date. The Topic also establishes a three-tier hierarchy, as follows, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
* | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; |
* | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
* | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
* | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Investments: Investments in common stock are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs.
The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
At September 30, 2018, the following sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Companys assets at fair value:

Investment in common stock | $ | 111,204 | $ | - | $ | - | ||
Total assets at fair value | $ | 111,204 | $ | - | $ | - |
The earnings per share are based on the 1,775 shares outstanding. The financial statements report only basic earnings per share, as there are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of non-direct advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $46,005 and $59,890 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Advertising expense was included in operating expenses on the Statements of Income and Retained Earnings.
At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had cash deposits of $2,301,721 and $946,168, respectively, in excess of the $250,000 federally insured limit with Pacific Premier Bank. However, because Pacific Premier Bank is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS), large deposits are divided into smaller amounts and placed with other FDIC insured banks which are also members of the CDARS network. Then, those member banks issue certificates of deposits in amounts under $250,000, so that the entire deposit balance is eligible for FDIC insurance.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset-liability method of computing deferred taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Income Taxes topic. FASB ASC 740 requires, among other things, that if income is expected for the entire year, but there is a net loss to date, a tax benefit is recognized based on the annual effective tax rate.
FASB ASC 740 also requires, among other things, the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions based on a more likely than not (likelihood greater than 50%) approach. As of September 30, 2018, management has considered its tax positions and believes that the Company did not maintain any uncertain tax positions under this approach and, accordingly, all tax positions have been fully recorded in the provision for income taxes. It is the policy of the Company to consistently classify interest and penalties associated with income tax expense separately from the provision for income taxes, and accordingly no interest or penalties associated with income taxes have been included in this calculation, or separately in the Statements of Income and Retained Earnings. The Company does not expect any material changes through September 30, 2019. Although the Company does not maintain any uncertain tax positions, tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2015 and by the California Franchise Tax Board for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2014.
At September 30, 2018 and 2017, property and equipment included the following:

At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the cost of assets under capital lease was $374,171 and $292,802, respectively, and related accumulated amortization was $196,397 and $147,336, respectively. Depreciation expense on assets under capital lease was $49,061 and $37,545 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Each share of stock is intended to provide the shareholder with free use of the Resort for a maximum of 45 days per year. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds from the public, the Company may be required to charge shareholders for services.
A shareholder is entitled to a pro rata share of any dividends as well as a pro rata share of the assets of the Company in the event of its liquidation or sale. The shares are personal property and do not constitute an interest in real property. The ownership of a share does not entitle the owner to any interest in any particular site or camping period.
NOTE 7 Income Taxes
Recent tax reform was passed on December 22, 2017, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This Act does away with US federal corporate tax brackets that had a maximum effective rate of 35%, to a flat rate of 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Consequently, deferred tax assets and liabilities have been remeasured, resulting in a deferred income tax benefit of $278,100, which is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.
Pursuant to the above-mentioned federal tax rate change, the Company has used a blended tax rate for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018. This has been done by applying the Companys previous bracket rate of 34% and the new 21% flat rate pro rata, based on the number of days in the fiscal year before and after January 1, 2018.
The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rates is due primarily to the effects of the graduated tax rates, the blended tax rate for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, state taxes net of the federal tax benefit, nondeductible variable costs of shareholder usage, and remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the federal tax rate changes noted above.
At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the deferred income tax liabilities consisted of the following:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There has been no change of accountants, nor any disagreement with accountants, on any matter of accounting principle, practices, or financial statement disclosures required to be reported under this item.
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of September 30, 2018 (the end of the period covered by this report). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is also responsible for establishing internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as defined in Rules 13a-I5(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our ICFR is intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our ICFR is expected to include policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
32
As of September 30, 2018, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria for effective ICFR established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

b. OTHER OFFICERS AND SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES
JAY JAMISON, Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Age 65
Assistant Corporate Secretary
Jay Jamison has been employed by the Company since June 1997 as General Manager and serves as Assistant Corporate Secretary. In March 2007, the Board changed his title to Chief Executive Officer/General Manager. He has a B.S. degree in Agricultural Management from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, graduating in 1976. Mr. Jamison was raised on his familys guest ranch, Rancho Oso, in Santa Barbara County, which included a recreational vehicle park, resident summer camp, equestrian facilities and numerous resort amenities. He worked on the ranch throughout his childhood and after college. The family business was sold in 1983, at which time Mr. Jamison was hired by Thousand Trails, Inc., a private membership resort, as a Resort Operations Manager. His last ten years at Thousand Trails were spent managing a 200-acre, 518-site, full-service resort near Hollister, California. He also managed Thousand Trails resorts in Acton and Idyllwild in Southern California. Prior to his employment with the Company, Mr. Jamison was a General Manager with Skycrest Enterprises in Redding and managed Sugarloaf Marina and Resort on Lake Shasta in Northern California between January 1995 and June 1997. Mr. Jamison was appointed to and served as a commissioner on the Pismo Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau from February 1998 to January 2010, serving as Chair from August 1999 until February 2009. At the 1999 National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds Annual Convention, he was elected to serve on the Board of Directors representing the ten western states. During his two three-year terms on the Board, he served four years as Treasurer of the National Association, a position he held until he termed out December 2005. In June of 2002, Mr. Jamison was installed as a Director on the Board for the San Luis Obispo County Chapter of the American Red Cross, and served until June 2011, including from June 2006 until July 2008 as Board Chairman. In February 2006, Mr. Jamison was elected to serve as a commissioner on the California Travel and Tourism Commission, which markets California to potential domestic and international visitors. During his two four-year terms, he served on the Audit Committee, two years as committee Chairman, and one year on the Executive Committee. He termed out as a commissioner in June 2014; however, he still remains a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Jamison was installed as a member of the Board of Directors for the San Luis Obispo County Conference and Visitors Bureau (Visit San Luis Obispo County) in 2012, and currently serves on the Executive Committee following two years as Board Chair. Since 2014 Mr. Jamison has served as a member of the Advisory Council for the Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration (RPTA) Department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
c. FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
There are no familial relationships between the Directors nor between the Directors and the Officers.
d. INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the knowledge of the Company, none of the officers or directors have been personally involved in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the directors or officers have been convicted in any criminal proceedings (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or are the subject of a criminal proceeding which is presently pending, nor have such persons been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining them from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or insurance company, or from engaging in or continuing in any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any security, nor were any of such persons the subject of a federal or state authority barring or suspending, for more than 60 days, the right of such person to be engaged in any such activity, which order has not been reversed or suspended.
e. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have a member of its Audit Committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
38
We believe that the members of our Audit Committee are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Due to the fact that the Directors of Pismo Coast Village, Inc. do not receive compensation for the services they provide in that capacity, the Company has been unable to nominate and retain a director with the required expertise to stand for election to the Board of Directors. However, until the time that our Audit Committee has a qualified audit committee financial expert, we believe our engagement of Glenn Burdette (GB), Certified Public Accountants, satisfies this requirement. GB provides the Company's quarterly compilation of the balance sheets and the related statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
f. CODE OF ETHICS
On November 8, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the introduction to our code of ethical conduct. After further review, consideration was given to adopting a more comprehensive and detailed Code. At the meeting of the Executive Committee held June 19, 2009, the committee approved a recommendation to present a revised Code of Ethics to the full Board for adoption. At the Board of Directors meeting held July 18, 2009, the Board unanimously approved the revised and complete Code of Ethics that applies to all the Company's employees and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions.
The complete text of the revised Code of Ethics is filed with this Form 10-K as Exhibit 14. In addition, the Company has posted the Code of Ethics on its website,www.pismocoastvillage.com.
A copy of the Companys Code of Ethics will be provided to any person, without charge, upon written request. Requests for the Companys Code of Ethics should be addressed to:

PISMO COAST VILLAGE, INC.
(the "Company")
CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
FOR DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY
(the "Code")
INTRODUCTION
This Code applies to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions (collectively, the "Senior Officers") along with all directors and employees within the Company (the Senior Officers, directors and employees are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Employees"). This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Employees of the Company. All Employees should conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid the appearance of improper behavior in any way relating to the Company.
Any Employee who has any questions about the Code should consult with the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or the Company's audit committee (the "Audit Committee").
The Company has adopted the Code for the purposes of promoting:
| X | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| ||
| X | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission |
| ||
| X | compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
| ||
| X | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and |
| ||
| X | accountability for adherence to the Code. |
1
HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT
Each Senior Officer and member of the Board owes a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Employees must adhere to a high standard of business ethics and are expected to make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of the Company, as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits. Generally, a "conflict of interest" occurs when an Employee's personal interests is, or appears to be, inconsistent with, interferes with or is opposed to the best interests of the Company or gives the appearances of impropriety.
Business decisions and actions must be made in the best interests of the Company and should not be influenced by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with the Company's stakeholders for example suppliers, competitors and customers should not in any way affect an Employee's responsibility and accountability to the Company. Conflicts of interests can arise when an Employee or a member of his or her family receive improper gifts, entertainment or benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.
Specifically, each Employee must:
1. | act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information when required or consistent with the Company's policies; | |
2. | avoid violations of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company in personal and professional relationships; | |
3. | disclose to the Chief Executive Officer, President, or the Audit Committee any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach | |
4. | obtain approval from the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Audit Committee before making any decisions or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to | |
5. | observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and Company policies; | |
6. | maintain a high standard of accuracy and completeness in the Company's financial records; | |
7. | ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in the Company's periodic reports; | |
8. | report any violations of the Code to the Chief Executive Officer, President or Audit Committee; | |
2
9. proactively promote ethical behavior among peers in his or her work environment; and
10. maintain the skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of his or her duties.
DISCLOSURE
As a result of the Company's status as a public company, it is required to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company takes its public disclosure responsibility seriously to ensure that these reports furnish the marketplace with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the financial and business condition of the Company. All disclosures contained in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other government agencies, on behalf of the Company or contained in other public communications made by the Company must be complete and correct in all material respects and understandable to the intended recipient.
The Senior Officers, in relation to his or her area of responsibility, must be committed to providing timely, consistent and accurate information, in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that this disclosure be accomplished consistently during both good times and bad and that all parties in the marketplace have equal or similar access to this information.
All of the Company's books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company's transactions, and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company's systems of internal controls. Unrecorded or "off the book" funds, assets or liabilities should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Senior Officers involved in the preparation of the Company's financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and any other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements materially, fairly and completely reflect the business transactions and financial statements and related condition of the Company. Further, it is important that financial statements and related disclosures be free of material errors.
Specifically, each Senior Officer must:
1. | familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company; | |
2. | not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, including the Company's independent auditors, governmental regulators, | |
3. | to the extent that he or she participates in the creation of the Company's books and records, promote the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records; and | |
4. | in relation to his or her area of responsibility, properly review and critically analyze proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness. |
3
CONFIDENTIALITY
In carrying out the Company's business, directors, officers and employees often learn confidential or proprietary information about the Company, its customers, clients, suppliers, or joint venture parties. Directors, officers and employees must maintain the confidentiality of all information so entrusted to them, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential or proprietary information of the Company, and of other companies, includes any nonpublic information that would be harmful to the relevant company or useful or helpful to competitors if disclosed.
COMPLIANCE
It is the Company's policy to comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each director, officer and employee to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to accounting and auditing matters.
It is against Company policy and a violation of federal securities laws for a director, officer or employee to trade in securities on the basis of material information not yet publicly disclosed. Any director, officer or employee who possesses nonpublic information about the Company or its business which is material in nature may not trade in any securities affected by such nonpublic information, including the Company's securities, until such time as the information has been made known to the public. A material fact about a company is one that a reasonable investor would be likely to consider important in making a decision to buy, sell or hold the securities of such company.
Any director, officer or employee who is uncertain about the legal rules involving a purchase or sale of any Company securities or any securities in companies that he or she is familiar with by virtue of his or her work for the Company, should consult the Audit Committee Chair.
FAIR DEALING
We have a history of succeeding through honest business competition. We do not seek competitive advantages through illegal or unethical business practices. Each director, officer and employee should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company's customers, clients, service providers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No director, officer or employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any unfair dealing practice.
REPORTING VIOLATIONS
The Company, through the Board's Audit Committee, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions may arise and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. This Code is not intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for Senior Officers in relation to their business activities with the Company. Any Employee may seek clarification on the application of this Code from the Audit Committee.
4
Each Employee must:
1. | notify the Company of any existing or potential violation of this Code, and failure to do so is itself a breach of the Code; and | |
2. | not retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourage others to do so, against any Employee for reports, made in good faith, or any misconduct or violations of the Code solely |
The Audit Committee will take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breach of the Code reported to it. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such investigations and to provide truthful and accurate information. If the Audit Committee determines that a breach has occurred, it will take or authorize disciplinary or preventative action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Company's counsel if warranted, up to and including termination of employment. Where appropriate, the Company will not limit itself to disciplinary action but may pursue legal action against the offending Employee involved. In some cases, the Company may have a legal or ethical obligation to call violations to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities.
Compliance with the Code may be monitored by audits performed by the Audit Committee, the Company's counsel and/or by the Company's outside auditors. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.
Any waiver of this Code for any Employee may be made only by the Board or the Audit Committee and will be promptly disclosed to stockholders and others, as required by applicable law. The Company must disclose changes to and waivers of the Code in accordance with applicable law.
