808 Renewable Energy Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
Unaudited
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
808 Renewable Energy Corporation, (the “Company” or “808 Renewable”), located in Garden Grove, California, was incorporated, on May 13, 2009, in Nevada as Tri-Energy, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring and managing combined heat and power renewable energy products, also referred to as distributed generation energy facilities. The Company is also engaged in the business of purchase and sale of power generation equipment, and in the operation, repair, and maintenance of same, for itself, as well as for other energy facility owners.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of 808 Renewable have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred net losses of $1,277,778, and as of the same date has an accumulated deficit of $16,310,079 and negative working capital of $656,940. If the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to continue to obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is taking certain steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included, but are not limited to: 1) focus on sales to minimize the need for capital at this stage; 2) converting part of the outstanding accounts payable to equity; 3) raising equity financing; 4) continuous focus on reductions in cost where possible.

Corporate Overview
808 Renewable Energy Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was formed as a Nevada corporation in May 2009 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning and managing renewable and efficient energy projects throughout the United States. Before forming 808 Renewable Energy Corporation, we operated 808 Energy 3, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company formed in January 2009 for the purpose of acquiring, re-commissioning and operating distributed generation (“DG”) energy facilities, also known as combined heat and power (“CHP”) plants. On August 20, 2010, 808 Renewable acquired all of the then-outstanding units of membership interest of 808 Energy 3, LLC not then already owned by 808 Renewable, thereby making 808 Energy 3, LLC a wholly-owned subsidiary of 808 Renewable. We also acquired 808 Energy 2, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company formed in August 2008 to acquire the CHP plant located at Pacific Clay Products, Inc. in Lake Elsinore, California. Effective as of June 30, 2011, 808 Renewable acquired all of the then-outstanding units of membership interest of 808 Energy 2, LLC not then already owned by 808 Renewable, thereby making 808 Energy 2, LLC a wholly-owned subsidiary of 808 Renewable.
Our principal executive offices are located at 13888 Harbor Boulevard, Suite 8A, Garden Grove, California 92843. Our telephone number is (714) 891-8282, and our website address is www.808RenewableEnergy.com.
808 Renewable Energy, or the Company, distributes, owns and operates clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling. Our business model includes ownership of the equipment that we install at customers' facilities and the sale of the energy produced by these systems to the customers on a long-term contractual basis. We also provide engineering and other professional services to clients who own their own on-site energy systems, but require assistance in their operation and maintenance.
We offer natural gas powered cogeneration systems that are highly reliable and energy efficient. Our cogeneration systems produce electricity from an internal combustion engine driving a generator, while the heat from the engine and exhaust is recovered and typically used to produce heat and hot water for use at the site. We also distribute and operate water chiller systems for building cooling applications that operate in a similar manner, except that the engine's power drives a large air-conditioning compressor while recovering heat for hot water. Cogeneration systems reduce the amount of electricity that the customer must purchase from the local utility and produce valuable heat and hot water for the site to use as required. By simultaneously providing electricity, hot water and heat, cogeneration systems also have a significant, positive impact on the environment by reducing the carbon or CO 2 produced by offsetting the traditional energy supplied by the electric grid and conventional hot water boilers.
Our customers pay us for energy produced on site at a rate that is a certain percentage below the rate at which the utility companies provide them electrical and natural gas services. We measure the actual amount of electrical and thermal energy produced and charge our customers accordingly. We agree to install, operate, maintain and repair our energy systems at our sole cost and expense. We also agree to obtain any necessary permits or regulatory approvals at our sole expense. Our agreements are generally for a term of up to 15 years, with renewable provisions upon the mutual agreement of the parties
For the customers that want to own their CHP system, we offer our “turn-key” option whereby we provide equipment, systems engineering, and installation; interconnect approvals, on-site labor and startup services needed to bring the complete CHP system on-line. For some customers, we are also paid a fee to operate the systems and charge for those systems on a negotiated basis.
Revenues from operation and maintenance services are recorded when provided and verified.
- 8 -
We have experienced total net losses since inception of approximately $16,310,079. For the foreseeable future, we expect to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as our management executes our current business plan. The cash, cash equivalents and line of credit available from our CEO, Patrick Carter, available at June 30, 2014 will provide sufficient working capital to meet our anticipated expenditures including installations of new equipment for the next twelve months; however, as we continue to grow our business by adding more energy systems, the cash requirements will increase. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and line of credit available at June 30, 2014 and our ability to control certain costs, including those related to general and administrative expenses, will enable us to meet our anticipated cash expenditures through March 31, 2015. Beyond March 31, 2015, we may need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or equity offering to meet our operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
In 2012, we raised $2,794,339 minus $463,350 issuance costs from the sale of common shares, through private placements; $70,000 from the sale of preferred shares, and $900,000 from the sale of a convertible note. If we are unable to raise additional capital in 2014 we may need to terminate and/or adjust our current business plan. Financial considerations may cause us to modify planned deployment of new energy systems and we may decide to suspend installations until we are able to secure additional working capital. We will evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and products that are complementary to our business; however, we are not currently engaged in such discussions.
The Company’s operations are comprised of several business segments. The selling of energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements; the sale of professional services to clients that own their own distributed generating and CHP plants.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes the following critical accounting policies involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to write off the cost of the applicable assets over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Project assets consist of costs of materials, direct labor, outside contract services and project development costs incurred in connection with the construction of the small-scale renewable energy plants that the Company owns. Depreciation is, generally, recorded on a straight line basis beginning in the month that operations commence over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from 10 to 20 years. Routine maintenance costs, to the extent that they do not extend the life of the asset, are expensed in the year they are incurred.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company found no need to recognize impairment expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or for the year ended December 31, 2013.
- 9 -
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue from energy efficiency and renewable energy products and services, which includes the design, engineering, and construction of energy systems that produce electricity, heat or cooling from renewable sources of energy. The Company enters into long-term energy sales agreements (with a typical term of 10 to 15 years) with customers, whereby these energy systems are owned by the Company and are installed in customers’ buildings. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had 6 operating energy systems.
Each month, the Company obtains readings from its energy meters to determine the amount of energy produced for each customer. The Company multiplies these readings by the appropriate published price of energy (electricity) from its customers’ local energy utility, and the energy services agreement entered into with each customer, to derive the value of the monthly energy sales, less the applicable negotiated discount. The Company’s revenues per customer, on a monthly basis, will vary based on the amount of energy produced by its energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) obtained from its customers’ local energy utility.
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned, and therefore only recognizes revenue on energy systems once those systems become operational. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of equipment upon installation and recognizes revenue on professional services in accordance with the contract entered into with the customer.
The Company must meet all of the following four criteria in order to recognize revenue:
●
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
|
●
|
Delivery has occurred
|
●
|
The sales price is fixed or determinable
|
●
|
Collection is reasonably assured
|
Payments received in advance of satisfaction of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as advances from customers.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Results of Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2013
Revenues, from the delivery and sale of electricity and related products, including professional services, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $202,402 compared to $588,628 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $386,226 or 65.6%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a decrease in the number of installed CHP systems operating throughout the six months compared to the same period in 2013. We generated $6,321 of energy developer revenue in 2014 compared to none for the same period in 2013.
During the first six months of 2014, the Company operated 22 CHP energy systems, representing 2,064,205 kWh of total energy sold, compared to 30CHP energy systems, representing 4,505,558 kWh of installed electricity plus thermal energy for the same period in 2013, a decrease of 54.2%. The energy production revenue per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by the Company's energy systems and the prevailing price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from its customers' local energy utility that month, less the discounts the Company provides its customers. The Company's Energy Production revenues commence as new energy systems become operational, and the Company typically sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling.
- 10 -
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, including depreciation, of $171,771 was $394,193 compared to $762,109 including depreciation of $171,671 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $367,916, or 48.3%. The cost of fuel was $118,723 for the six months of 2014, compared to $309,842 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $191,119 or 61.7% primarily due to lower run hours at our CHP plants.
During the first six months of 2014, our gross margins were (94.8%) compared to (29.5%) for the same period in 2013, primarily due to the decrease in our CHP plant revenue and the stubbornly high fuel prices during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our CHP energy margins excluding depreciation were at (10%) for the six months of 2014, compared to (.003%) for the same period in 2013.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $1,074,114, after including $375,000 of stock based compensation, paid to our directors for services provided during 2013 and 2014, plus $300,000 of stock based compensation paid to two previous employees for past services, compared to $510,445 for the same period in 2013, an decrease of $111,330 or 21.8% after removing the stock based compensation. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in internal payroll and insurance costs.
Loss from Operations
The loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,275,778, inclusive of stock based compensation amounting to $675,000, of which $375,000 was paid to our directors for services provided during 2013 and 2014, and $300,000 was paid to two previous employees for past services which had been agreed to but inadvertently not done, compared to a loss of $683,926 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $591,852 or 86% or a decrease of $83,148 or 12.2% after removing the stock based compensation. The decrease in the operating loss was due to better cost controls; greater energy developer and energy service revenue, and lower costs at our company owned CHP plants due to fewer operation hours. Our non-cash compensation expense was $0 in 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total current assets at June 30, 2014 were $243,269 a decrease of $128,827 compared to $372,096 at December 31, 2013. Included in current assets were cash and cash equivalents of $6,883 which decreased by $190,502 at June 30, 2014, compared to $197,385 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in cash at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was the result of the costs of bringing new plants on line and the operation of existing energy projects. The increase in prepaid expenses of $49,704 was due to the renewal of insurance premiums.
Cash used in operating activities was $625,445 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $125,673 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $499,772.

During those same periods increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets used $61,675 compared with providing cash of $215,585 for the same period in 2013.

Our CHP plants allow our customers to reduce both their energy costs and site carbon production by deploying combined heat and power technology on our customers’ premises at no cost. Therefore, our company is capital intensive. Our company believes that its existing resources, including cash and cash equivalents, line of credit and future cash flow from operations, are sufficient to meet the working capital requirements of its existing business for the foreseeable future, including the next 9 months; however, as our company continues to grow its business by adding more CHP plants, the cash requirements will increase. Beyond June 30, 2015, we may need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or an equity offering to meet our company’s operating and capital needs for future growth. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We anticipate re-commissioning three additional facilities in the third quarter of 2014. The capital cost to refurbish the existing equipment, replace parts, update the controls and commence operation for all three plants is estimated to be approximately $900,000. We do not currently have sufficient capital resources or revenue from operations to accomplish the re-commissioning and will be required to raise additional capital through debt or equity offerings. The Company has been exploring various methods of raising additional capital, including the sale of common stock and the sale of partial ownership interests in one or more of its existing facilities. We will re-commission these plants only as capital is raised to pay the capital costs. However, if we undertake to re-commission one or more of the plants, but the costs are more than anticipated, we could experience a shortage of cash flow to sustain operations, in which case the need for additional capital will occur earlier than anticipated and could force us to reduce or curtail certain operations. We have, from time to time, relied upon loans from affiliates, particularly our CEO Patrick S. Carter and a director Thomas Grainger, to meet our requirements for operating capital. We do not expect such loans to be available to us in the future.
Our ability to continue to access capital could be impacted by various factors including general market conditions, interest rates, the perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, any unwillingness on the part of lenders to make loans to us and any deterioration in the financial position of lenders that might make them unable to meet their obligations to us. If these conditions continue and we cannot raise funds through a public or private debt financing, or an equity offering, our ability to grow our business may be negatively affected. In such case, our company may need to suspend any installation of new CHP plants and significantly reduce its operating costs until market conditions improve.
Seasonality
Our customers generally use additional energy during periods of more extreme temperatures. Accordingly, our revenue generally tends to increase during the summer. The majority of our heating systems sales are in the winter and the majority of our chilling systems sales are in the summer.
Inflation
Inflation will generally cause conventional utility suppliers to increase their rates, and since we bill our customers based on the electric utility rates, our pricing will increase in tandem and positively affect our revenue. However, inflation might cause both our investment and cost of goods sold to increase, thereby lowering our return on investment and depressing our gross margins.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our company has no off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4: - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
