Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Retail Energy Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Note 2. | Business and Ownership |
The Company is a Minnesota limited liability company (“LLC”) formed on October 25, 2013. As such, the members are not liable for any of the debts or other liabilities of the Company. As of November 1, 2015, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Krieger Enterprises, LLC (“KRE”). The Company was formerly wholly-owned by Twin Cities Power Holdings, LLC (“TCPH”). TCPH underwent a reorganization during 2015; changed its name to Aspirity Holdings, LLC on July 14, 2015 and sold 100% of the equity interests in REH to KRE on November 1, 2015. The reorganization was accounted for as a transfer of interest under common control. The Company’s subsidiaries are Town Square Energy, LLC, Town Square Energy East, LLC (fka Discount Energy Group, LLC), and Town Square Energy Canada, Ltd.
On June 29, 2012, Twin Cities Power, LLC, a subsidiary of TCPH (“TCP”) acquired certain assets and the business of Community Power & Utility LLC, a retail energy supplier serving residential and small commercial markets in Connecticut (“CPU”). The business was re-named Town Square Energy (“TSE”), and ran as an accounting division of TCP. On July 1, 2012, TCP began selling electricity to retail accounts.
Effective June 1, 2013, the TSE division of TCP was reorganized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCPH. During late 2012 and early 2013, TSE applied for retail electricity supplier licenses for the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island which were issued on various dates in 2013.
On October 25, 2013, in anticipation of receipt of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) approval of the acquisition of Discount Energy Group, LLC (“DEG”), a retail energy business licensed by the states of Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, TCPH formed the Company and transferred the ownership of TSE to it. FERC approval of the acquisition was received on December 13, 2013 and the transaction closed on January 2, 2014. Effective April 2, 2015, Discount Energy Group, LLC changed its name to Town Square Energy East, LLC (“TSEE”).
The reorganization on June 1, 2013 and October 25, 2013 which resulted in the transfer of the business of TSE to REH were accounted for as transfers of interests under common control, and presented as of the beginning of 2013 as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Town Square Energy Canada, Ltd (fka Canada-Town Square Energy Canada, Ltd) (“TSEC”) was incorporated in Alberta, Canada on January 27, 2015. TSEC was licensed as an electricity marketing business on March 16, 2016 by the Alberta Government. As of September 30, 2016 there was no business activity in Alberta.

The eight states and one province in which the Company is currently licensed incorporate the service territories of 34 investor-owned electric utilities and 4 municipally owned electric utilities. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was actively marketing its services in twenty-nine of these utilities. As of September 30, 2016 the Company was servicing 40,859 active meters, (49,031residential customer equivalents), this is exclusive of customers that were enrolled but not yet receiving service. There is tangible market value to these customers which is not capitalized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The market value may vary based on the attributes of the individual customer contracts and the current market conditions within the industry.
Note 3. | Letter of Credit |
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company secured an irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling CAD$35,000 with a financial institution for the benefit of the Independent System Operator of Alberta. The letter of credit expired on October 20, 2016 and is subject to automatic extension and renewal provisions. On November 1, 2016 the irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of CAD$35,000 was renewed for another year, and will expire in October 2017. The letter of credit is secured by the cash in the amount of CAD$35,000 and is included in restricted cash.
As of September 30, 2016, none of the letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company were drawn upon.

The following table provides details with respect to changes in AOCI as presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, including those relating to our designated cash flow hedges, for the period from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016:
Foreign Currency | Cash flow hedge | Total | ||||||||||
Balance – January 1, 2016 | $ | (62,857 | ) | $ | — | $ | (62,857 | ) | ||||

As of September 30, 2016, there were no derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.
The Company purchases bi-lateral physical power to mitigate commodity price risk. Under ASC 815, these contracts qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale exemption, and therefore, the Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts.
Note 5. | Fair Value Measurements |
The ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three types of valuation inputs in the fair market hierarchy are as follows:
● | “Level 1 inputs” are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | “Level 2 inputs” are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. |
● | “Level 3 inputs” are unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists. |
Financial instruments categorized as Level 1 holdings are publicly traded in liquid markets with daily quotes and include exchange-traded derivatives such as futures contracts and options, certain highly-rated debt obligations, and some equity securities. Holdings such as shares in money market mutual funds that are based on net asset values as derived from quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities are also classified as Level 1.
The fair values of financial instruments that are not publicly traded in liquid markets, but do have characteristics similar to observable market information such as wholesale commodity prices, interest rates, credit margins, maturities, collateral, and the like upon which valuations are based are categorized in Level 2.
Financial instruments that are not traded in publicly quoted markets or that are acquired based on prices and terms determined by direct negotiation with the issuer are classified as Level 3. Level 3 securities are carried at book value which management believes approximates fair value, until circumstances otherwise dictate while Level 3 derivatives are adjusted to fair value based on appropriate mark-to-model methodologies.
Generally, with respect to valuation of Level 3 instruments, significant changes in inputs will result in higher or lower fair value measurements, any particular calculation or valuation methodology may produce estimates that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, and such variations could be material.

From time to time, the Company may engage third parties such as appraisers, brokers, or investment bankers to assist management in its valuation and classification of financial instruments.

The following table presents certain assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

Note 6. | Revolving Line of Credit |
On October 14, 2014, REH, TSE, and DEG entered into a Credit Agreement with the Toronto, Ontario branch of Maple Bank GmbH (the “Maple Agreement” and “Maple Bank”), expiring October 31, 2016. The Maple Agreement provides the Company’s retail energy services businesses with a revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000 in committed amount secured by a first position security interest in all of the assets, a pledge of the equity of such companies by TCPH, and certain guarantees. Availability of loans is keyed to advance rates against certain eligible receivables as defined. Any loans outstanding bear interest at an annual rate equal to 3 month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus a margin of 6.00%. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an annual fee of 1.00% of the committed amount on a monthly basis and a monthly non-use fee of 1.00% of the difference between the committed amount and the average daily principal balance of any outstanding loans. The Company is also subject to certain reporting, affirmative, and negative covenants. On August 4, 2015 the Maple Revolver was amended to increase the committed amount to $7,500,000, replace Aspirity Holdings, LLC (fka TCPH) with KRE as the Guarantor, and changed the annual fee to a flat fee.
On February 18, 2016, REH was informed that on February 12, 2016, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered the winding up and liquidation of Maple Bank and appointed KPMG Inc. as liquidator following reports that the German banking authorities had terminated Maple’s banking license. REH repaid all amounts owing under the Maple Agreement on June 8, 2016.

The Vantage Agreement provides REH with a revolving line of credit of up to $7,500,000 in committed amount secured by a first position security interest in all of the Company’s assets, and certain guarantees. Availability of loans is keyed to advance rates against certain eligible receivables as defined. Any loans outstanding bear interest at an annual rate equal to 1-month LIBOR, plus a margin of 6.00%. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an annual fee of 1.00% of the committed amount on a monthly basis and a monthly facility commitment fee of 1.00% of the difference between the committed amount and the average daily principal balance of any outstanding loans. The Company is subject to certain reporting, affirmative, and negative covenants.
