Notes to Financial Statements
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.
Renewable Energy and Power, Inc.
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.
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.

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.
