AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summer Energy Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Summer Energy, LLC (“Summer LLC”), Summer EM Marketing, LLC (“Marketing LLC”) and Summer Energy of Ohio, LLC (“Summer Ohio) (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

Summer LLC is a retail electric provider in the state of Texas under a license with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”). Summer LLC procures wholesale energy and resells it to commercial and residential customers. Summer LLC was organized on April 6, 2011, under the laws of the state of Texas. The operations of Summer LLC are the Company’s sole line of business.

Marketing LLC was formed in the state of Texas on November 6, 2012, to provide certain marketing services to Summer LLC.

Summer Ohio was formed in the State of Ohio on December 16, 2013 to procure and sell electricity in the state of Ohio. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) issued a certificate as a Retail Electric Service Provider to Summer Ohio on June 16, 2015. At this time, there is no business activity in the State of Ohio.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2015.

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

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Our electricity revenue is recognized by our Company upon delivery of electricity to a customer’s meter. This method of revenue recognition is commonly referred to as the flow method. The flow method of revenue relies upon the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) settlement statements to determine the estimated revenue for a given month. Supply delivered to customers for the month, measured on a daily basis, provides the basis for revenues. Electricity revenue consists of proceeds from energy sales, including pass through charges from the Transmission and Distribution Providers (“TDSPs”) billed to the customer at cost.

Table of Contents

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)

Unbilled Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Electric services not billed by month-end are accrued based upon estimated deliveries to customers as tracked and recorded by ERCOT multiplied by our average billing rate per kilowatt hour (“kWh”) in effect at the time. At the end of each calendar month, revenue is accrued to unbilled receivables based on the estimated amount of power delivered to customers using the flow technique.

Unbilled revenue also includes accruals for estimated TDSP charges and monthly service charges applicable to the estimated electricity usage for the period. All charges that were physically billed to customers in the calendar month are recorded from the unbilled account to the customer receivable account. Unbilled accounts as of September 30, 2015, were estimated at $8,890,838.

Accounts receivable are customer obligations billed at the customer’s monthly meter read date for that period’s electricity usage and due within 16 days of the date of the invoice. Balances past due are subject to a late fee that is assessed on that billing.

Cost Recognition

Direct energy costs are recorded when the electricity is delivered to the customer’s meter.

Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) include electric power purchased and pass through charges from the TDSPs in the areas serviced by the Company. TDSP charges are costs for metering services and maintenance of the electric grid. TDSP charges are established by regulation of the PUCT.

The energy portion of our COGS is comprised of two components: bilateral wholesale costs and balancing/ancillary costs. These two cost components are incurred and recognized differently as follows:

Bilateral wholesale costs are incurred through contractual arrangements with wholesale power suppliers for firm delivery of power at a fixed volume and fixed price. We are invoiced for these wholesale volumes at the end of each calendar month for the volumes purchased for delivery during the month, with payment due 20 days after the end of the month.

Balancing/ancillary costs are based on the customer load and are determined by ERCOT through a multiple step settlement process. Balancing costs/revenues are related to the differential between supply that we provided through our bilateral wholesale supply and the supply required to serve our customer load. The Company endeavors to minimize the amount of balancing/ancillary costs through our load forecasting and forward purchasing programs.

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s business operations require entering into physically settled commodity contracts that meets the definition of a derivative; however the Company has elected "normal purchases and normal sales" exception to avoid derivative accounting and related disclosures. The term is specific to ASC 815-10-15-22. When the contract satisfies certain criteria, including a requirement that physical delivery of the underlying commodity is probable and is expected to be used in normal course of business. Retail revenues and retail cost of revenues resulting from deliveries of commodities under normal purchase contracts and normal sales contracts are included in earnings at the time of contract settlement.

NOTE 6 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES

On February 19, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions (the “Series B Designation”) with respect to a class of preferred stock designated as Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”). The Series B Preferred entitles holders thereof to receive a dividend payable in cash or common stock, at the election of the holder, at an annual rate of 12% of the Deemed Original Issue Price. The “Deemed Original Issue Price” of the Series B Preferred for purposes of calculating the Series B Preferred dividend is $1.00 per share, which the board of directors of the Company determined represents the estimated fair market value as of the date of grant. The Series B Preferred dividends are payable in cash or by the issuance of common stock ten (10) days following the end of each month, or portion thereof. The number of shares to be paid as a dividend shall be determined based on the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the record date for the dividend. On February 21, 2014, the Company entered into Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (each an “Agreement” and collectively the “Agreements”) with several investors. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,900,000 shares of the Series B Preferred, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,900,000. Several members of the Company’s board of directors directly or indirectly participated in the offering.

Additional terms, conditions, rights, and privileges of the Series B Preferred include:

Voting: Each holder of Series B Preferred is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred held by such holder could then be converted.

Recent Developments

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summer Energy Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Summer Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Summer LLC”), Summer EM Marketing (“Marketing LLC”) and Summer Energy of Ohio, LLC (“Summer Ohio”) (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

Plan of Operation

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Summer LLC, is a licensed Retail Electricity Provider (REP) in the State of Texas. In general, Texas regulatory structure permits REPs, such as Summer LLC, to procure and sell electricity at unregulated prices. REPs pay the local transmission and distribution utilities a regulated tariff rate for delivering electricity to their customers. As a REP, we sell electricity and provide the related billing, customer service, collections and remittance services to residential and commercial customers. We offer retail electricity to commercial and residential customers in designated target markets within the State of Texas. In the commercial market, the primary target is small to medium-sized customers (less than one megawatt of peak usage), but we will also selectively pursue larger commercial customers through management’s existing, historical relationships. Residential customers are a secondary target market. We anticipate that a majority of our customers will be located in the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan areas; although, we anticipate a growing number will be located in a variety of other metropolitan and rural areas within Texas.

We began delivering electricity to customers in mid-February 2012.

In 2014, the Company’s net cash decrease resulted from cash used by operations of $2,774,675, net cash used in investing activities of $536,001 which includes $219,130 for the purchase of property and equipment and $3,147,117 provided by financing activity.

The Company has no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are able to obtain additional financing, such financing may result in restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or substantial dilution for stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Cash Outflows for Capital Assets, Customer Acquisition and Deposits

We expect to expend funds for capital assets, customer acquisition and deposits in connection with the expansion of our business during the remainder of the current fiscal year. The anticipated source of funds will be cash on hand and the capital raised through the year ended December 31, 2015.

Future Financing Needs

The Company did not commence operations and the generation of revenue until middle of the three month period ended March 31, 2012. Our cash position may not be significant enough to support daily operations. Management believes that we have adequate liquidity to support operations during the short-term, but this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks.

While we believe in the viability of our plan of operations and strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to obtain additional funds, there can be no assurances that our plan of operations or ability to raise capital will be successful. The ability to grow is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan, generate revenues, and obtain additional financing, as needed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our existing wholesale power purchase agreement provides that we will provide additional credit support to cover mark-to-market risk in connection with the purchase of long term power. A mark-to-market credit risk occurs when the price of previously purchased long term power is greater than the current market price for power purchased for the same term. While we believe that the current environment of historically low power prices limits our exposure to risk, a collateral call, should it occur, could limit our working capital and, if we fail to meet the collateral call, could cause liquidation of power positions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period of time covered by this Quarterly Report has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Conversion Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the investor converted the principal amount, $100,000, of a promissory note issued by the Company on March 12, 2015 (the “Note”) into 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock.
