FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "will," "should," "can have," "likely," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, plans to repurchase shares of our common stock, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:

 

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. For the discussion of these risks and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 ("Annual Report"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 8, 2017, and "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statement

March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Nature of Business

 

Throughout this report, the terms “our”, “we”, “us” and the “Company” refer to Renewable Energy and Power, Inc. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Renewable Energy and Power, Inc. at March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, instructions to Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 2016. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation to make our financial statements not misleading have been included. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The September 30, 2016 balance sheet has been derived from our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

Renewable Energy and Power (the Company or REAP) was incorporated on October 15, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada, for the purpose of conducting all legal business.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of new and retrofit applications for LED lighting and innovative solar electrical generation. The LED products will lower the use of electrical power, lower maintenance costs for users and extend the useful life of lighting fixtures.

 

The solar process will greatly increase the conversion of heat to electricity, and is patterned after technology that has been used in space exploration for many years.

 

Note 2. Going Concern

 

The Company has begun principal operations and, as is common with a start-up company, the Company has had recurring losses during its early stage. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing. The Company has reported losses from operations for the three months ending March 31, 2017 and 2016 of $10,169,187 and $224,623 respectively and for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 of $10,368,054 and $410,959 respectively. Renewable Energy and Power has an accumulated deficit of $8,451,944 as at March 31, 2017. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be 31, 2017and March 31, 2016 of unable to continue in existence.

 

Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company's financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company's obligations. If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company grants credit, generally without collateral. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and believes that its customer acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to minimize potential credit risk. The Company has not incurred any credit losses to date. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. The allowance for bad debt is $10,000 at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:

 

	Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
	Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.
	Level 3 - Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.

 

Our financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible and term debt. The carrying value of our financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their relative short maturities and the nature of the debt.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from sales at the time the products are shipped, the price is determinable, the customers are invoiced and payment is reasonably assured. Invoices are due on a net 30 day basis. Shipping and handling costs are billed to customers and netted against shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company, which are included in cost of revenues. Most of the Company's sales are to Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI), a shareholder of the Company. See Note 6.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, research and development costs totaled $5,025 and $4,020, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $14,346 and $20,173, respectively.

 

Rent Expense

 

We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term as defined in ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, rent expense was, $12,873 and $12,873, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $25,646 and $26,764 respectively.

 

Earnings per common share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 205 "Earnings per Share." ASC Topic 205 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2017 and 2016 any equivalents would have been anti-dilutive as we had losses for the periods then ended.

 

Recent pronouncements

 

During the period ended March 31, 2017 and through May 22, 2017, there were several additional new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption, but not before December 15, 2016, and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions. We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) The standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019, and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Note 4. Property Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 consist of the following:

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or an individual, are considered to be related if we have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Note 8. Derivatives

 

The valuation of our embedded derivatives and warrant derivatives are determined primarily by the multinomial distribution (Lattice) model. An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the convertible note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is also determined in accordance with ASC 815. Based on ASC 815, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability and resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

·

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

 

·

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

 

To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value at March 31, 2017.:

 

Expected remaining life (in years)			0.58
Volatility			442	%
Risk Free interest rate			1.03	%
Dividend yield (on common stock)			-

Note 10. Shareholders’ Deficit

 

During February 2017, the Company authorized a reverse stock split in the ratio of one new share issued for every two thousand shares owned prior to the split. Fractional shares were rounded up to the next higher whole share. The share amounts have been adjusted to retroactively reflect the stock split throughout the financial statements.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2017 the Company issued 25,000,000 shares of our Common stock in payment of a note issued for accrued salaries to four individuals. The stock was issued at par value. The portion of the note converted was in the amount of $25,000. The remaining portion of the note which is unconverted is $203,365.00.

 

The value of the common at the date of conversion, March 31, 2017 was $0.3994 per share, based on the closing trading price on that day. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the payment of the debt of $6,227,500.

 

In addition to the Company issued 1,200,000 and 1,250,000 to the holders of convertible notes.

 

Note 11. Interest Expense

 

Interest expense includes direct interest of $39,595 and $159,375.70 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $79,969 and $203,41.70 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, calculated based on the interest rates stated in our various debt instruments.

 

In addition, interest expense includes non-cash amortization of the debt discount of $36,797.30 and $0 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $36,797.30 and $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note 12. Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes in interim periods in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). We have determined an estimated annual effective tax rate. The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during our fiscal year to our best current estimate. As of March 31, 2017, the estimated effective tax rate for the year will be zero.

 

There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2009 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded.

Company Overview

 

Mission Statement of Renewable Energy and Power Inc.: Provide investors with products expanding markets.

 

Renewable Energy and Power Inc. plans to provide renewable energy that is competitive with fossil fuels by employing proprietary new technologies, and combining them with existing solar and wind power generation and LED lighting. At this time, all solar and wind power energy products are in development and none have been delivered to a customer.

 

Renewable Energy and Power is a combination of two synergistic:

 

1.	Solar Hybrid (Sol-Hy) (All products in development at this time)
2.	LED Lites USA (All products sold through MDI)

 

These two divisions operating together within REAP create a synergistic effect for providing green energy. Both companies will function in international markets that are in vigorous growth stages of development, with long-term prospects in both the USA and international markets such as Germany, Spain and possibly South America. Within the USA, solar components are driven by federal and state legislation with tax incentives which vary by state and time.

 

Solar Hybrid (Sol-Hy)

 

The primary technology of Solar Hybrid, trade name Sol-Hy, is in solar energy concentration and conversion to electricity. A proprietary holographic lens structure, optical light guide, multi-junction semiconductor, and licensing of patented interconnect technology enables Sol-Hy to offer more efficient collection of solar energy than most existing conventional technologies. These patented processes increase solar cell interconnect reliability, providing higher electrical efficiency and significant production cost savings while conserving expensive semiconductor materials. The Company has licensed a number of patents for this process, and will file proprietary patents on developing technology as well as trademarks, trade names and copyrights.

Table of Contents

 

Sol-Hy's competitive advantages in this field include:

 

	·	A product in development in multi-junction solar panel that uses a technology developed for space satellites which outputs twice the power in the same amount of space as multi-crystalline silicon solar panel competitors. The core technology has been proven for years in space satellites and is now ready for wide-spread general power generation. REAP is actively developing a solar panel utilizing this technology and expects to be in limited production by 4th quarter 2016.
	·	Solar cell efficiencies vary from 6% for amorphous silicon-based solar cells to 44.0% with multiple-junction production cells and 44.4% with multiple dies assembled into a hybrid package.[11][12] Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies for commercially available multi-crystalline Si solar cells are around 15%.

The key to Solar Hybrid's success will be the performance and reliability of its panels. All of our products and their components will be rigorously tested to stringent industry standards. Our products are being designed to meet or exceed reliability and life-cycle viability for industry approval under the Energy Star criteria; however these products have not been tested or approved by the authorized agencies at this time. Certification by Underwriter Labs (UL) and other certification organizations are in process and the corporate ground work for ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications are underway. These certification guarantees and underwriting will allow worldwide product distribution and installation once completed. Time for initial completion of UL and ISO is currently set for fourth quarter of 2016.

 

LED Lites USA

 

LED Lites USA is in the business of producing and marketing LED (Light Emitting Diode) light fixtures and components for both the residential and commercial markets. LED lighting is a green technology that consumes far less energy and requires much less maintenance than competing lighting technologies, making it highly competitive for both retrofit and new lighting systems.

 

Federal and State Legislation and Federal and State Tax Benefits are driving the LED lighting market not just in the United States but all over the world.

 

Federal Legislation includes the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 passed December 2007, confirmed July 15, 2011, requiring phasing out low efficiency incandescent lighting starting in the year 2012 in favor of CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs and other high Lumen per Watt technologies. But CFL is at best an interim solution, far less efficient and more toxic (using mercury) than LED lighting which can be expected to be the lighting of choice as costs come down with the expansion of the market.

 

The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers tax incentives to energy-efficient commercial buildings. Any building that can cut its lighting power density by 25-50 percent is eligible to receive a tax reduction of 60 cents per square foot. By converting to LED bulbs, companies can reduce their electricity consumption for lighting by 60 percent. Not only do LED users see immediate reductions in their energy bills, they also receive government endorsed tax incentives for making their buildings more energy efficient.

 

LED Lites USA has its background in power supply technology and thermal management having been a spin-off of Multichip Display, Inc. in late 2012. For more than 20 years, Multichip Display and its predecessor Multichip Assembly have engineered and manufactured power supplies and electronic circuits for demanding military and commercial applications. These power supplies use multi-output switchers, linear and ferro-resonant topologies for the aerospace, defense, telecom, networking and industrial markets, in both custom and standard (VME, PCI, etc.) form factors.

 

19

Table of Contents

 

LED Lites USA will both leverage the technology of suppliers and develop technologies and intellectual properties of its own. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been invested by component suppliers, for example in the LED chips themselves. Although, LED Lites USA has the flexibility to use several different suppliers of LED chips, they have developed special pricing contracts with primary suppliers. Flexibility of design will protect us from becoming someone else's captive customer with high pricing.

 

Our design approach gives LED Lites USA a platform for the Sun Harvesting, Motion Detection and light level selection options. Sun Harvesting provides energy savings through the sensing of ambient light conditions to reduce power on fixtures located near windows or other well illuminated areas while maintaining full light intensity on other fixtures in the same room. Motion Detection adjusts the light intensity to Light Level Selected intensity (reduced levels) when no motion is detected in the room.

 

LED Lites USA will use its core skills in thermal management, system packaging and manufacturing to develop and advance technology for two key purposes:

 

	·	To develop product solutions that maintain a leadership position over its competitors based upon superior cost-benefit to its customers, as well as greater product functionality.
	·	To drive down unit cost while maintaining the key domestic work-force through the advancement of manufacturing and assembly technology and processes.

 

Federal Legislation

 

The new energy bill (passed December 2007, confirmed July 15, 2011) began phasing out sales of incandescent lighting in 2012.

 

Tax Incentives

 

The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers tax incentives to energy-efficient commercial buildings. Any building that can cut its lighting power density by 25-50 percent is eligible to receive a tax reduction of 60 cents per square foot. By converting to LED bulbs, companies can reduce their electricity consumption for lighting by 60 percent. Not only do LED users see immediate reductions in their energy bills, they also receive government endorsed tax incentives for making their buildings more energy efficient.

 

"LED lighting is 70-80% more efficient than traditional lighting and can create some very dramatic lighting effects," states Roger Hale, energy consultant and owner of Commercial LED Lighting in Florida, "but the real asset of LED technology is the length of time these lights last." "Conservatively, we estimate that LED lights will last for at least 12 to 15 years, giving them a clear advantage over halogen and compact fluorescent lighting, (CFL)".

Business Strategy

 

The immediate business strategy is to pursue contracts with customers with lighting needs for outdoor newly installed and retrofit of existing facilities. We are in negotiations with a highway billboard company to replace the existing lighting on the billboards with LED lights. We are in design stage of this process. We will continue to manufacture and deliver lighting products for MDI Industries, while the above negotiations are continuing. The solar component of our business is not presently operating awaiting funding.

 

Products

 

We presently produce lighting products under subcontract for MDI Industries, Inc. These products are for the aeronautical industry, commercial, and industrial applications. We have access to a full line of lighting from both domestic and foreign sources to supply lighting for new installations and/or to retrofit existing lighting installations.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We employ commissioned salesmen to sell our products to various business groups, including the outdoor advertising industry, parking lot lights and lighting of sales and inventory areas for car dealers.

 

When funding to begin operations in the solar power area is available, we will employ the sales force needed to pursue customers in this area.

 

Manufacturing

 

Our manufacturing process generally consists of the following operations: (i) designing customer specific lighting products and specifying the parts, (ii) sourcing parts for products, (iii) warehousing these parts, (iv) assembling these parts into the products according to the specifications of the customer involved, (v) testing the products to insure that the specifications of the customer are met, (vi) shipping the products to the customer location, and (vii) arranging and overseeing the installation of the products at the customer's facility.

 

The assembly process entails the use of various mechanical and electronic tools that are housed in our facility in North Las Vegas. We employ on an ‘as needed basis’, as contractors, skilled and experienced engineers and technicians.

 

Management Information and Communication Systems

 

We use customized computer software systems, as well as commercially-packaged software, for handling order entry and invoicing, manufacturing, inventory management, shipping, warehouse operations, customer service inquiries, accounting operations and management information. We believe that these systems have improved operating efficiencies and customer service.

Materials and Suppliers

 

We employ a purchasing staff that works with marketing, product development, formulations and quality control personnel to source raw materials for products as well as other items purchased by us. Raw materials are sourced principally from the United States, Europe and China. Raw materials used by us are available from a variety of suppliers. We seek to mitigate the risk of a shortage of parts and materials through our relationships with our principal suppliers, including identification of alternative suppliers for the same, or similar, parts and materials where available.

 

Government Regulation

 

At this time there are no government regulations other than SEC, IRS and Nevada State corporate compliance rules that apply to the Company's operations. The Company believes it is in compliance with all of these agencies rules and regulations.

 

Competition

 

We are engaged in industries with a high degree of competition. There are many Lighting companies pursuing the same customers. We have a history of excellent products with our present customer, MDI Industries, Inc. and have a management team with years of experience in our chosen areas of operation. We intend to compete based on price, performance, and quality of the products offered to customers.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have exclusives licenses for six patents covering for the solar manufacturing activity when the funding to begin this activity is achieved. As we derive additional products they will be patented and trademarked as necessary. 

 

Employees

 

At March 31, 2017, we employed approximately 5 full-time and approximately 5 part-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe that we have good relationships with our employees.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017.

 

Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 

	·	We do not have an audit committee: While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal control.
	·	Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.

 

However, management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
