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.

Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
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 March 31, 2018 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 six months ended March 31, 2018 were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had a loss from operations of $223,484, negative working capital of $1,144,605 and has an accumulated deficit of $10,040,381 at March 31, 2018. These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has begun principal operations and, as is common with a start-up company, the Company has had recurring losses during its early stage. 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 March 31, 2018 and 2017. 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
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, research and development costs totaled $0 and $5,025, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $14,346, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
| Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange. |
| Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs. |
| Level 3 - Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights. |
Our financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible and term debt. The carrying value of our financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their relative short maturities and the nature of the debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s Level 3 derivative liability at fair value is as follows:

Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2017 amounted to $79,969.
During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the six months ended March 31, 2018, we executed a series of Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to seven 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 quarter ending March 31, 2018 two of the lenders have sued for payment, which terminates their conversion rights. Aggregate amounts claimed pursuant to the lawsuits amounted to $448,833 including certain penalties and interest. Amounts included in convertible notes payable for these lenders amounted to $321,516 after the write-off of unamortized loan discounts of $181,869. Additionally, the Company eliminated $467,529 of the derivative liability related to these loans. Negotiations for settlement of the suits is currently in process.
During the six months ended March 31, 2018 the Company’s lenders converted an aggregate of $356,044 of the face value of notes payable plus accrued interest into an aggregate of 1,488,485,818 shares of $.001 par value common stock.
We valued the derivative liability at the end of each accounting period and the difference in value is recognized as gain or loss. At March 31, 2018, we determined the valuation using the Black-Sholes valuation model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, 0.01 to 0.75 years to maturity, risk free interest rate of 2.09% and annualized volatility of 144% to 456%. We recognized $1,208,062 of income for the change in value of the derivative for the six months ended March 31, 2018.

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 1,597,878,840 shares of $.001 par value common stock outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock outstanding at March 31, 2018. Additionally, at March 31, 2018 there were 5,966,136,552 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 six months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company had a federal net operating tax loss carry-forward of approximately $3,268,000 as of March 31, 2018. The tax loss carry-forwards are available to offset future taxable income with the federal carry-forwards beginning to expire in 2033.
At March 31, 2018 the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $148,600 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 March 31, 2018 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 six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Company Overview
Mission Statement of Renewable Energy and Power Inc.: Provide investors with products expanding markets.
Renewable Energy and Power Inc. plans to provide renewable energy that is competitive with fossil fuels by employing proprietary new technologies, and combining them with existing solar and wind power generation and LED lighting. At this time, all solar and wind power energy products are in development and none have been delivered to a customer.
Renewable Energy and Power is a combination of two synergistic:
1. | Solar Hybrid (Sol-Hy) (All products in development at this time) |
| |
2. | LED Lites USA (All products sold through MDI) |
These two divisions operating together within REAP create a synergistic effect for providing green energy. Both companies will function in international markets that are in vigorous growth stages of development, with long-term prospects in both the USA and international markets such as Germany, Spain and possibly South America. Within the USA, solar components are driven by federal and state legislation with tax incentives which vary by state and time.
Solar Hybrid (Sol-Hy)
The primary technology of Solar Hybrid, trade name Sol-Hy, is in solar energy concentration and conversion to electricity. A proprietary holographic lens structure, optical light guide, multi-junction semiconductor, and licensing of patented interconnect technology enables Sol-Hy to offer more efficient collection of solar energy than most existing conventional technologies. These patented processes increase solar cell interconnect reliability, providing higher electrical efficiency and significant production cost savings while conserving expensive semiconductor materials. The Company has licensed a number of patents for this process, and will file proprietary patents on developing technology as well as trademarks, trade names and copyrights.
Sol-Hy's competitive advantages in this field include:
| · | A product in development in multi-junction solar panel that uses a technology developed for space satellites which outputs twice the power in the same amount of space as multi-crystalline silicon solar panel competitors. The core technology has been proven for years in space satellites and is now ready for wide-spread general power generation. REAP is actively developing a solar panel utilizing this technology and expects to be in limited production by 4th quarter 2016. |
| · | Solar cell efficiencies vary from 6% for amorphous silicon-based solar cells to 44.0% with multiple-junction production cells and 44.4% with multiple dies assembled into a hybrid package.[11][12] Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies for commercially available multi-crystalline Si solar cells are around 15%. |

| · | U.S. Patent Number 6,982,475 |
| · | U.S. Patent Number 6,753,208 |
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.
17 |
Table of Contents |
LED Lites USA will both leverage the technology of suppliers and develop technologies and intellectual properties of its own. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been invested by component suppliers, for example in the LED chips themselves. Although, LED Lites USA has the flexibility to use several different suppliers of LED chips, they have developed special pricing contracts with primary suppliers. Flexibility of design will protect us from becoming someone else's captive customer with high pricing.
Our design approach gives LED Lites USA a platform for the Sun Harvesting, Motion Detection and light level selection options. Sun Harvesting provides energy savings through the sensing of ambient light conditions to reduce power on fixtures located near windows or other well illuminated areas while maintaining full light intensity on other fixtures in the same room. Motion Detection adjusts the light intensity to Light Level Selected intensity (reduced levels) when no motion is detected in the room.
LED Lites USA will use its core skills in thermal management, system packaging and manufacturing to develop and advance technology for two key purposes:
| · | To develop product solutions that maintain a leadership position over its competitors based upon superior cost-benefit to its customers, as well as greater product functionality. |
| · | To drive down unit cost while maintaining the key domestic work-force through the advancement of manufacturing and assembly technology and processes. |
Federal Legislation
The new energy bill (passed December 2007, confirmed July 15, 2011) began phasing out sales of incandescent lighting in 2012.
Tax Incentives
The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers tax incentives to energy-efficient commercial buildings. Any building that can cut its lighting power density by 25-50 percent is eligible to receive a tax reduction of 60 cents per square foot. By converting to LED bulbs, companies can reduce their electricity consumption for lighting by 60 percent. Not only do LED users see immediate reductions in their energy bills, they also receive government endorsed tax incentives for making their buildings more energy efficient.
"LED lighting is 70-80% more efficient than traditional lighting and can create some very dramatic lighting effects," states Roger Hale, energy consultant and owner of Commercial LED Lighting in Florida, "but the real asset of LED technology is the length of time these lights last." "Conservatively, we estimate that LED lights will last for at least 12 to 15 years, giving them a clear advantage over halogen and compact fluorescent lighting, (CFL)".
Business Strategy
The immediate business strategy is to pursue contracts with customers with lighting needs for outdoor newly installed and retrofit of existing facilities. We are in negotiations with a highway billboard company to replace the existing lighting on the billboards with LED lights. We are in design stage of this process. We will continue to manufacture and deliver lighting products for MDI Industries, while the above negotiations are continuing. The solar component of our business is not presently operating awaiting funding.
18 |
Table of Contents |
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 March 31, 2018, 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.

Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $704,246 and includes $442,152 of amortization of debt discount and loan fees, origination interest of $220,000 and $19,706 of amortization of original issue discount. Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2017 amounted to $79,969.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $17,163. Net cash used in operating activities was $153,637 and $15,347 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 March 31, 2018, 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 March 31, 2018, 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.
