FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. For the discussion of these risks and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 ("Annual Report"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 16, 2016, and "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business

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

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as amended for interim financial information.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods but are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire year ending September 30, 2017.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

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

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

Management knows of no material adjustments needed in these financial statements to conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Note 2 – Going Concern

These financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company net income of $1,590,145 and has an accumulated deficit of $10,146,265. 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 to allow it 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

Basis of presentation

The Company reports revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting for financial and tax reporting purposes. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

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. Shipping and handling costs are billed to customers and netted against shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company, which are included in cost of revenues. All of the Company's sales are to Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI), a shareholder of the Company. See Note 4.

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 $0 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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 LED light fixtures. The inventories were purchased vendors in Asia.

Research and Development Costs

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, research and development costs totaled $- and $21,943.

Fair Value Measurement

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

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s Level 3 derivative liability at fair value is as follows:

Note 4 – Multichip Display, Inc. (MDI)

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, 2018. MDI is both a significant customer and significant vendor of the Company. For the three months ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, much of the Company's sales resulted from transactions with MDI. The Company had the following related party transactions through December 31, 2017 for the time periods shown in the tables below. 

The agreement with MDI includes an offset clause for accounts receivable from MDI and accounts payable to MDI. The Company issued three new 8% Convertible Promissory Notes in the amounts of $15,000, $5,000 and $5,000 during the current quarter. These notes mature on December 31, 2018 and are convertible at the lower of common stock par value of $0.001 per share or 50% of the current market price at the time of conversion. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, two unrelated lenders purchased the prior convertible note and accrued interest from MDI. The lenders exercised the conversion rights stipulated in the note and the Company issued an aggregate of 288,052,345 shares of $.001 par value common stock related thereto.

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions with Initial Shareholder Group

Consulting fees payable to officers and shareholder

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $41,000 and $88,889, respectively, of consulting fees which are payable to two officers and two shareholders of the Company. Total consulting fees payable to these officers and shareholder as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 were $154,815 and $112,315 respectively.

Payable to shareholder

Payable to shareholder totaled $66,360 and $67,860 at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Short-term loan payable to officer

As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, convertible officer advances to the Company totaled $5,700 and short term notes amounted to $57,674 and $56,974 respectively.

Note 6 – Convertible Notes Payable

The carrying value of all convertible notes at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 was comprised of:

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $215,648 and includes $194,537 of amortization of debt discount and loan fees, and $19,580 of amortization of original issue discount. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2016 amounted to $40,374.

During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2017, we executed a series of Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to six unrelated entities. The Notes have initial terms of one year or less. The notes carry face interest rates of from 8% to 12% per annum. The Lenders have the rights, at any time and/or after 180 days at their election to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock. The conversion price is generally a range of between 50% and 58% of a two-day average of the lowest trading price in the 15 to 25 range of trading days prior the conversion.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 the Company participated in an exchange agreement with an original lender and a new lender whereby the new lender purchased three existing loans aggregating $97,000. The Company executed a replacement note (face amount of $154,977) to the new lender and executed a new note to the lender for $75,000 in exchange for additional cash. The Company was obligated to pay third party loan and legal fees related to the new note amounting to $40,000. Unamortized loan fees at December 31, 2017 amounted to $28,325 in connection with the new note. The replacement note has conversion features more favorable to the Company than the notes it replaced. As such, the net change in the derivative liability related to the notes was reduced by $1,328,777 at the replacement date. This amount is included in the gain from debt conversion in the accompanying financial statements.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 the Company’s lenders converted an aggregate of $328,725 of the face value of notes payable (including the MDI note as described above) plus accrued interest into an aggregate of 881,078,070 shares of $.001 par value common stock.

We valued the derivative liability and at the end of each accounting period the difference in value is recognized as gain or loss. At December 31, 2017, we determined the valuation using the Black-Sholes valuation model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, 0.01 to 0.6 years to maturity, risk free interest rate of 1.70% and annualized volatility of 372.14. We recognized $547,774 of income for the change in value of the derivative for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Note 7 – Share Capital

The Company is authorized to issue 10,010,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 and 10,000,000 of $.001 par value preferred stock. The Company had 990,471,092 shares of $.001 par value common stock outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2017. Additionally, at December 31, 2017 there were 10,888,800,000 contingently issuable shares related to the Company’s convertible notes payable.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants For warrants granted to non-employees in exchange for services, we recorded the fair value of the equity instrument using the Black-Scholes pricing model unless the value of the services is more reliably measurable. On July 11, 2017 we issued a common stock purchase warrant to a lender as additional compensation for its services provided to date. The warrant provides for the issuance of 167,667 shares of our $.001 par value common stock at a variable exercise price based on the market price of our stock but with a “floor price” of $.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of issue.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the 167,667 outstanding and exercisable warrants at September 30, 2017 was approximately $8,500. The intrinsic value is the difference between the closing stock price on September 30, 2017 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the money warrants had all warrant holders exercised their warrants on September 30, 2017. The lender will be entitled to similar warrants issuances under a master lending agreement as additional funding to the Company is received.

No warrants were exercised and no additional warrants were issued during the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The difference between the expected income tax expense (benefit) and the actual tax expense (benefit) computed by using the Federal statutory rates is as follows:

Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for significant income and expense items recognized in different years for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences, which give rise to a net deferred tax asset, are as follows:

The Company had a federal net operating tax loss carry-forward of approximately $2,933,900 as of December 31, 2017. The tax loss carry-forwards are available to offset future taxable income with the federal carry-forwards beginning to expire in 2033.

At December 31, 2017 the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $143,800 from September 30, 2017. 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 December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, 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.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 352,593,152 shares of its $.001 par value common stock in settlement of $18,447.16 of convertible notes payable and accrued interest.

Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the company borrowed $50,000 at 12% interest on a convertible note due October 20, 2018.

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:

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.

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

[12]- Green, M.A. (2003).Third Generation Photovoltaics. Springer-Verlag. ISBN3-540-26562-7.

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

LED Lites USA

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

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

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

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

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

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:

Federal Legislation

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

Tax Incentives

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

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

Business Strategy

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

Products

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

Marketing and Sales

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

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

Manufacturing

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

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

Management Information and Communication Systems

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

Materials and Suppliers

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

Government Regulation

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

Competition

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

Intellectual Property

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

Employees

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2016:

Revenues

Revenues at December 31, 2017 totaled $114,863 as compared to $171,849 at December 31, 2016.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by $17,374 to $4,485 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $21,859 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. A significant portion of this lower profit margin was due to a large price increase on the PB/MPS material and labor kits provided by REAP's vendor. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 3.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 12.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $756 to $138,333 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $139,089 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative operating expense is 95.5% for the fiscal quarter as compared to 80.9 % for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to several factors, i.e.: (i) payment to an outside firm to provide advertising and promotional services, (ii) a rent increase and the payment of back rent, (iii) payment of professional accounting services, (iv) consulting fees for a joint R & D venture with UCLA, and (v) a loan discount charge.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $12,567 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and $14,601 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. For each period, amortization expense was primarily related to intangible assets recorded in connection with the purchase of assets.

Depreciation of Property and Equipment

Depreciation of property and equipment totaled $11,262 for each of the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Consultants

Consultants incurred from services provided by the officers of the Company and others totaled $89,910 and $26,408 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in the expense was related to the need for consultants to facilitate increased sales in the LED Lites USA division.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $215,648 and $40,374 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and primarily consisted of interest expense on indebtedness under our convertible note payable to MDI and others as well as the amortization of the discounts and deferred loan fees on the convertible notes payable that totaled $174,118 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash a bank overdraft of $311 and is included in accounts payable on the condensed balance sheets. Net cash used in operating activities was $100,700 and $14,806 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our cash reserves will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and we need to raise additional capital to pay for our operational expenses and provide for capital expenditures above the basic operational expenses, which are estimated at $20,000 per month. If we are not able to raise additional working capital, we may have to cease operations altogether.

Our future depends upon our relationship with MDI as well as MDI's future relies upon us. MDI Corporation is a minority owned government contractor, which previously assembled all of the products that were being sold by MDI. The owner of MDI no longer wished to be engaged in the assembly and manufacture of the products, but to become only a sales organization. Renewable purchased the equipment, inventory and business knowledge to begin business as a separate entity. Not only is MDI the sole customer of Renewable, but Renewable is the sole assembly and manufacture provider for MDI. As part of the agreement, MDI has agreed to support the operations of the Company through November 1, 2018.

Summary

Our existing sources of liquidity will not provide cash to fund operations and make the required payments on our debt service for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent entirely on raising funds through the sale of equity or debt. We will continue our attempt to raise additional capital. Some of the possibilities available to us are through private equity transactions, to develop a credit facility with a lender or the exercise of options and warrants. However, such additional capital may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital, we would be forced to cease operations altogether.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the SEC's Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of, and the participation of, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation and taking into account that certain material weaknesses existed as of September 30, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared with particular attention to the material weaknesses. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal controls that continue to exist as of December 31, 2017, we have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as required for interim financial statements.

Due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and the expenses associated with increases to remediate the disclosure controls and procedures that have been identified, the Company continued to operate without changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q while continuing to seek the expertise it needs to remediate the material weaknesses at an appropriate cost benefit basis.
