General
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 (Most 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 is a 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 light electric consumption 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 has 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.
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) will begin phasing out sales of incandescent lighting beginning 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 light electric consumption 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 have also quoted directly several large medical care facilities and condominium complexes with proprietary LED lighting products. 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 under subcontract for MDI. These products are primarily for the aeronautical industry. We have access to a full line of lighting from both domestic and foreign sources to supply lighting for new installations and/or retrofit of additional lighting.
Marketing and Sales
We contact 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) sourcing parts for products, (ii) warehousing these parts, (iii) designing and fabricating custom LED housings for the customer, (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, and (vi) shipping the products to the customer location.
The assembly process entails the use of various mechanical and electronic tools that are housed in our facility in North Las Vegas. We employ, 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 management with years of experience in our chosen areas of operation. We intend to compete based on price, performance, and the quality of our products.

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 September 30, 2016, we employed approximately 5 full-time and approximately 5 part-time contractors. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.
Additional Information
We are required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and are required to disclose certain material events in a current report on Form 8-K. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the Public Reference Room at the SEC located at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.
Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to evaluate our operations accurately.
The Company has had limited operations to date and has generated limited revenue. Therefore, the Company has a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the merits of investing in the Company. Because the Company is in the early stages of operating our business, it is subject to many of the same risks inherent in the operation of a business with a limited operating history.
The Company needs additional financing.
The Company has generated limited revenue and is primarily dependent on the availability of financing in order to continue its business. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue operations and construct new facilities will be available in the near future. The Company's failure to obtain future financing or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in its inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, investors in the Company could lose their entire investment.

If the Company fails to adequately manage the size of the business, it could have a severe negative effect on the Company's financial results or stock price.
The Company believes that in order to be successful it must appropriately manage the size of its business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, the Company will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and the Company may not be able to manage any significant cost reductions or effectively provide for growth.
If we fail to attract and retain qualified senior executive and key technical personnel, our business will not be able to expand.
We are dependent on the continued availability of the services of our management team and other key employees, many of whom are vital to the Company's future success, and the availability of new employees to implement our business plan. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in technical fields. Although our compensation programs are intended to attract and retain the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all our key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any assurance we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.
Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time and competition for qualified personnel, especially technical engineers, is intense. The process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly and disruptive.
If we lose the services of key personnel, or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative effect on our financial results and stock price. In addition, there is intense competition for highly qualified engineering and marketing personnel in the industry that we operate. The loss of the services of any key engineering, marketing or other personnel or our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating and financial results and stock price.
We depend upon our senior management and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
Our success depends largely on the skills of certain key management, including Donald M. MacIntyre (the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer), and Perry Barker (the Company's Manager of Sales). The loss of the services of any or all of these individuals could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management's attention away from operational issues.

Adverse changes or interruptions in our relationships with third parties could affect our business operations and impair the quality of our service and reduce our revenues.
Although our business is not substantially dependent on any agreement with any specific third party, we rely on various relationships with vendors which terms could affect our access to inventory and reduce revenues. All of the relationships we have are freely terminable upon notice. We cannot assure you that our arrangements with third parties will remain in effect or that any of these third parties will continue to supply us with the same level of access to inventory in the future. If access to inventory is affected, or our ability to obtain inventory on favorable economic terms is diminished, it may reduce our revenues. Our failure to establish and maintain representative relationships for any reason could negatively influence our systems and reduce our revenues.
Potential and evolving government regulation could impose taxes, eliminate rebates, or other burdens on our business that could increase our costs or the demand for our services.
Increased regulation regarding the industry could increase the cost of our doing business or otherwise reduce our sales and revenues. Additionally, changing laws, rules and regulations, and legal uncertainties may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations applicable to us and our business, including those relating to energy and waste disposal.
Trading on the Pink Sheets may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Trading in stocks quoted on the Pink Sheets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with a Company's operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our Common Stock for reasons unrelated to our business or operating performance. Moreover, the Pink Sheets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the Pink Sheets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares of Common Stock.
Our Common Stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
· |
technological innovations by competitors; |
· |
governmental regulation of our products and services; |
· |
additions or departures of key personnel; |
· |
decline in demand for our Common Stock; | |
· |
our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services; |
11 |
Table of Contents |
· |
our ability to execute our business plan; | |
· |
operating results below expectations; |
· |
loss of any strategic relationships; | |
· |
industry developments; | |
· |
lack of funding generated for operations; | |
· |
investor perception of our industry or our prospects; |
· |
general economic trends and other external factors; and | |
· |
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
Because we have had limited revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our Common Stock may be materially and adversely affected by these market fluctuations.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future on our Common Stock. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near future. The payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay cash dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
Because five of our executive officers and directors maintain ownership of up to 51.07% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company, they will control our operations.
Donald MacIntyre (our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer) and four other officer and directors own an aggregate of 51.07 % of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company. As a result of this ownership, they will be able to elect all of our directors and entirely control our operations. If their decisions are incorrect or if the Company cannot raise sufficient operating capital or sustain itself on its remaining revenues, we could go out of business and you would lose your investment

We intend to apply in the future to have our stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, however, until such application is approved, our Common Stock will be traded on the Pink Sheets. Further, current penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our stock.
Until such time in the future that our application to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board is approved, our Common Stock will be traded on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "RBNW." The Pink Sheets is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or other national exchanges which may cause difficulty in conducting trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing.
Further, our securities are subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose Common Stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the "penny stock rules," investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, for companies whose securities are traded in the Pink Sheets, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services such as the Dow Jones News Service generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.
A sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
The market price of our Common Stock could decline because of sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of Common Stock.
We have historically experienced losses in our operations. If we are unable to reverse this trend, we may be forced to cease operations.
During the year ended September 30, 2016, we experienced a net loss of $1,151,544. Our operating results for future periods will include significant expenses, including developmental expenses, the building of new facilities, potential marketing costs, professional fees and administrative expenses, and will be subject to numerous uncertainties. As a result, we are unable to predict whether when we will achieve profitability in the future, or at all.
We have limited working capital as of September 30, 2016, but will face significant capital requirements in the future. Since we may incur losses in the future until we are able to generate sufficient revenues to offset our expenses, investors may be unable to sell our shares at a profit or at all.
We had a net loss of $1,151,544 for the year ended September 30, 2016, a net loss of $111,284 for the year ended September 30, 2015. The large loss was the result of inventory write down of $283,348, an Allowance for Bad Debt of $10,000 and an increased interest expense of $493,820, primarily consisted of interest expense on indebtedness under our convertible notes and derivative expenses. Because we have not yet achieved or acquired sufficient operating capital and given these financial results together with our expected cash requirements in our immediate future, additional capital investments will be necessary to develop and sustain our operations.
13 |
Table of Contents |
We may be unsuccessful in our attempts to raise sufficient capital to fund our plans.
We continue to incur operating expenses, including salaries, but we have not yet obtained sufficient financing to effectively carry out our plans nor have we received sufficient operating revenues to support our human and equipment infrastructures. Until such time that we are successful in obtaining additional financing or achieve sufficient operating revenues to carry out our business strategy, there is significant risk that our business operations may be materially impaired.
Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock may deter or delay changes in management. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of our capital stock to provide additional financing in the future and the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Because of such dilution, proportionate ownership interest and voting power will be decreased accordingly. Further, any such issuance could result in a change of control.
In addition, as we procure additional financing and acquire additional business assets, we will potentially grant shares, as well as warrants and stock options, to the financiers and shareholders of target companies. To the extent that additional shares are issued, notes are converted, and stock options and warrants are exercised, the shares that are issued may result in an oversupply of shares and an undersupply of purchasers, thereby diluting the market for our shares.
The notes to our financials for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The notes accompanying our September 30, 2016 and 2015 audited financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern." Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders may be materially and adversely affected.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reports, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud and this could adversely affect our operating results.
We may not be able to establish or maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Due to lack of historical operating data, many of our internal controls and reporting systems are being designed as our business model develops. We rely on existing reporting systems that may have been implemented for different business models and may not function as intended. We are currently taking steps to strengthen our internal controls, we cannot be certain these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. We also cannot be certain that the interim steps we have taken, pending full implementation of these measures, to preserve our ability to accurately record, process, and summarize financial data and prepare our financial statements and reporting, will be effective. Many of these interim steps are time and labor intensive and rely on manual procedures, which makes them difficult to maintain for an extended period and increases the risk of errors. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Moreover, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, should we become a reporting company responsible to file financial statements with the SEC, we may be required at some point to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Such report will contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Such report will also contain a statement that our auditors have issued an attestation report on management's assessment of such internal controls.
When appropriate, we will perform a system and process documentation and evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging. Management may identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If such occurs, we will be unable to assert such internal control is effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective (or if our auditors are unable to attest that our management's report is fairly stated or they are unable to express an opinion on our management's evaluation or on the effectiveness of the internal controls), we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Report contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views and expectations with respect to our business, strategies, products, future results and events and financial performance. All statements made in this Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements that address operating performance, events or developments that management expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, revenues, profitability, adequacy of funds from operations, statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and non-historical information, are forward looking statements. In particular, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "may," "will," variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from historical results as well as those expressed in, anticipated or implied by these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management's current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions (including those described below) and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company is engaged in the business of new and retrofit applications for LED lighting and innovative solar electrical generation. The LED products are designed to lower the use of electrical power, lower maintenance costs for users, and extend the useful life of lighting fixtures. The solar process is designed to greatly increase the conversion of heat to electricity and is patterned after technology that has been used in space exploration for many years.
Solar Hybrid
At this time Solar Hybrid is not actively selling products and will remain so until funding for the Company has been secured and necessary certifications established. Once these milestones have been achieved, Solar Hybrid expects to initially participate as a contractor for solar farms in the US and Mexico with the intent to generate revenue to assist in the development and manufacturing process of our panels. Solar Hybrid intends to install commercially available silicon panels on these farms until the Solar Hybrid panels have passed UL approval.

Table of Contents |
These farms may utilize conventional panels, Solar Hybrid panels, or a combination of both types of panels. The revenue generated from the development of these farms will assist in funding the manufacturing efforts for the Sol-Hy panels, in addition to improving Solar Hybrid's timeline to profitability. This strategy will yield both reliability data and engineering feedback, while demonstrating to potential customers the advantages of the Sol-Hy products.
Solar farms need to maximize power per acre of land. This power is typically fed directly into the grid. The ROI for the solar farm will be dramatically improved due to our increased power per unit area. Also, due to the patented lens technology on our panels, there is less need, (or no need) to use expensive tracking systems for solar farms. Sun light tracking system(s) will add between $1.50 to 2.00 per watt to the cost of the farm. A 5MWp farm will have to increase its cost by as much as $10M when implementing trackers. This cost could be eliminated by the use of the Sol-Hy panels.
LED Lites USA
LED Lites USA has delivered lights for use on US Military installations. Our existing products meet EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) standards which are established by the FCC and will be certified by UL (Underwriters Laboratories). Our current products also meet EPA requirements (formerly administered by the Department of Energy (DOE)) for Energy Star certification which is not required; but without this certification, our products would not qualify for most Federal and State rebate programs. Our LED light fixtures exceed the Energy Star efficiency requirements.
Initial production is based in Las Vegas and REAP has a distributor working to secure contracts from the major casinos and commercial accounts in the area. Past installations of LED lights and new bids are currently in place at Planet Hollywood/Miracle Mile Mall for retrofit of fixtures to LED lights. National distribution is through a sales representative network spanning the nation, with a lead coordinator that previously worked for Cree Lighting in the LED lighting market.
A special line of products utilizing the technology purchased from Multichip Display Inc., employs thermal management vapor transport heat pipes to produce high intensity LED refitting of automobile dealership and airport lights. These applications require 1,000 watt light fixtures in an outdoor environment where thermal management is the key to long LED lifetime operation, guaranteed to be greater than five years through the use of the heat pipe technology.
Basis of Presentation of Financial Information
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America required us to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates included values and lives assigned to acquire intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, valuation adjustments for slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies
Management estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
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. Almost all of the Company's sales (98.4%) are to Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI), a shareholder of the Company.
Cash and cash flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution. At September 30, 2016, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provided insurance coverage of up to $250,000, per depositor, per institution. At September 30, 2016, none of the Company's cash and cash equivalents was in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks from excess deposits. None of the Company's cash is restricted.
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 September 30, 2016 and $0 for 2015. Normal accounts receivable past due more than 30 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The majority of the Company's receivables $623,650 (91.3%) are from MDI, a related party, of which $477,883 is past due. The Company has right of offset against its payables to MDI which totaled $631,691

Table of Contents |
Inventories
All inventory has been written off as of September 30, 2016.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is currently being provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over an estimated useful life of ten years. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited to operations in the respective periods. For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, depreciation expense totaled $45,050 each year. The property and equipment at September 30, 2016 and 2015 was acquired from related parties.
Intangibles
Costs incurred to acquire certain intangible assets, such as designs and specifications of products to be manufactured were capitalized and amortized by straight-line methods over an estimated useful life of five years. Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. During the period ended September 30, 2013, the Company capitalized $250,000 of such costs incurred for the acquisition of the Company's intangible assets from MDI, a shareholder of the Company through a convertible note payable. See Note 4. The Company obtained an appraisal of intangibles dated October 25, 2012 to determine the fair value which approximated the cost.
Amortization expense for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $58,402 each year. The Company estimates its amortization expense related to these assets will approximate $58,402 for the years ending September 30, 2017 and $12,600 for the year ending September 30, 2018.
Long-lived assets
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. During the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not identified any such impairment losses.
20 |
Table of Contents |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The Company recognizes the benefits of tax positions in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority and satisfy the appropriate measurement criteria. If the recognition threshold is met, the tax benefit is generally measured and recognized as the tax benefit having the highest likelihood, in management's judgment, of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Company also recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open tax years.
Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
Fair value of financial instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance sheet dates.
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 September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 4,869,706 potentially dilutive shares. See Note 4.

Table of Contents |
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and compensatory stock warrants, based on estimated fair values equaling either the fair value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. Non-cash consideration pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the agreement.
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees." The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete.
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan.
Recent accounting pronouncements
During the year ended September 30, 2016 and through date of filing there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2016, we had cash of $571. Net cash used in operating activities was $169,983 for the year ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $26,303 provided by operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2015.

Comparison of Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2015
Revenues Revenues increased by $49,913, or 7.9%, to $683,442 for fiscal 2016 from $683,529 for fiscal 2015.
Gross Profit (Loss) Gross profit (Loss) decreased by $385,776, or -225.96%, to ($24,293) for fiscal 2016 from $171,387 gain for fiscal 2015. This decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to write down of inventory. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was -131.35% for fiscal 2016 and 27% for fiscal 2015.
General and Administrative General and administrative expenses increased by $72,954 or 75%, to $169,823 for fiscal 2016 from $96,869 for fiscal 2015. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses are 25% for fiscal 2016 compared to 15% for fiscal 2015. G & A expenses increased by $10,000 due to establishment of a Allowance for Bad debt account.

Amortization of Intangible Assets Amortization of intangible assets was $58,402 for fiscal 2016 and 2015. For each period, amortization expense was primarily related to intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisition of assets.
Impairment of Intangible Assets In performing our annual impairment testing as of September 30, 2016, we determined that there had been no need for an impairment at this time.
Interest Expense Interest expense was $494,678 for the year ended September 30, 2016 and $20,000 for 2015 and primarily consisted of interest expense on indebtedness under our convertible notes and derivative expenses.
Inflation Inflation affects the cost of parts, goods and services we use. In recent years, inflation has been modest. The competitive environment somewhat limits our ability to recover higher costs resulting from inflation by raising prices. We seek to mitigate the adverse effects of inflation primarily through improved productivity and cost containment programs. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations for the periods presented, except with respect to increased costs in manufacturing, packaging and distribution resulting from increased fuel and other petrochemical costs, as well as payroll-related costs, insurance premiums, and other costs arising from or related to government-imposed regulations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no changes in our independent registered public accounting firm, Turner Stone & Company LLP, or disagreements with our accountants on matters of accounting and financial disclosure.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2015, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016, were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
· |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
· |
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and | |
· |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
25 |
Table of Contents |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements, we have assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based on this evaluation and qualified by the "Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls" set forth in this Item 9A below, management has determined that as of September 30, 2016, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company's management has identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting related to a shortage of resources in the accounting department required to assure appropriate segregation of duties with employees having appropriate accounting qualifications.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, wherein non-accelerated filers are exempt from Sarbanes-Oxley internal control audit requirements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Renewable Energy and Power, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Renewable Energy and Power, Inc. at September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited revenues and has a working capital deficiency, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable at September 30, 2016 and 2015 and revenues generated for the years then ended are primarily from transactions with Multichip Display, Inc., (MDI) a 1.5% shareholder of the Company. Additionally, MDI is a significant vendor and also provides assembly labor on a contract basis.

Table of Contents |
Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
Note 1 – Nature of Business
Renewable Energy and Power (REAP or the Company) 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 are designed to lower the use of electrical power, lower maintenance costs for users and extend the useful life of lighting fixtures. The solar process is designed to 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
These financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During our recent year ended September 30, 2016, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,151,544 and a cumulative loss since inception of $1,816,388. The Company will need to generate significant revenue in order to achieve profitability and may never become profitable.
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. The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and may not allow it to continue as a going concern. These issues raise substantial doubt as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses.
Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Management estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
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. Almost all (98.7% in 2016 and 98.4% in 2015) of the Company's sales were to Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI), a minority shareholder of the Company. See Note 4.
Cash and cash flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution. At September 30, 2016, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provided insurance coverage of up to $250,000, per depositor, per institution. At September 30, 2016, none of the Company's cash and cash equivalents was in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks from excess deposits. None of the Company's cash is restricted.

Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
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 September 30, 2016 and $0 at September 30, 2015. Normal accounts receivable past due more than 30 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. See Note 4.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out, FIFO) or market (net realizable value) and include primarily Silicon wafers and displays with drivers. The inventories were purchased from two related parties during the period ended September 30, 2016. The residual balance of these inventories and all other inventory goods was written off and the inventory balance at September 30, 2016 was $0. See Notes 4 and 5.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is currently being provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over an estimated useful life of ten years. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited to operations in the respective periods. For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, depreciation expense totaled $45,050 each year.
Intangibles
Costs incurred to acquire certain intangible assets, such as designs and specifications of products to be manufactured were capitalized and amortized by straight-line methods over an estimated useful life of five years. Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.
Amortization expense for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $58,402, for each year. The Company estimates its amortization expense related to these assets will approximate $58,400 for the years ending September 30, 2017 and $12,600 for the year ending September 30, 2018.
Long-lived assets
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company had not identified any such impairment losses.

Notes to Financial Statements
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
Fair value of financial instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at the balance sheet dates.
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 September 30, 2016 there were 4,869,706 potentially dilutive shares. See Note 4 and 6.
Stock Split
There was a reverse stock split on February 7, 2017 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
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and compensatory stock warrants, based on estimated fair values equaling either the fair value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. Non-cash consideration pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the agreement.

Table of Contents |
Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees." The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete.
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan.
Recent accounting pronouncements
During the year ended September 30, 2016 there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). 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.
Note 4 – Related Party Transactions Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI)
MDI is owned by a minority shareholder (1,000 shares or 0.45%) of the Company at September 30, 2016 and 2.7% at September 30, 2016. In addition, MDI owns 2,165 shares or 1.05%. The total direct and indirect ownership of REAP by MDI is 1.54% at September 30, 2016 and 8.7% at September 30, 2015.
The Company has an exclusive contract to manufacture products under contract from MDI. MDI will be the sales agent for certain government and private company contracts; REAP manufactures products based on bid prices as agreed between the parties. The Company has also agreed to purchase parts from MDI. As part of the agreement, MDI has agreed to support the operations of the Company through December 31, 2017. MDI is both a significant customer and significant vendor of the Company. For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, almost all of the Company's sales and accounts receivable resulted from transactions with MDI. See related party transactions below.

The Company had a federal net operating tax loss carry-forward of approximately $1,673,210 as of September 30, 2016. The tax loss carry-forwards are available to offset future taxable income with the federal carry-forwards beginning to expire in 2034.
At September 30, 2016 the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $391,500. The realization of the tax benefits is subject to the sufficiency of taxable income in future years. The deferred tax assets represent the amounts expected to be realized before expiration. The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, no amounts have been recognized for uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized related to interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has determined that it is not reasonably likely for the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company is currently subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.
