General
Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2007. Since inception, we have been engaged in organizational efforts, and have not generated any revenue to date. We were formed as a vehicle to pursue a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination with an operating business in either the renewable energy or the environmental industries and their related infrastructures.
We are focused on acquiring a business in either the renewable energy or the environmental industries. We do not have any specific business combination under consideration and we have not (nor has anyone on our behalf), directly or indirectly, contacted any prospective target business or had any discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to such a transaction with us. We have not (nor have any of our agents or affiliates) been approached by any candidates (or representative of any candidates) with respect to a possible acquisition transaction with our company. Additionally, we have not engaged or retained any agent or other representative to identify or locate any suitable acquisition candidate for us.
Renewable Energy Industry and Its Related Infrastructure
The renewable energy industry and its related infrastructure generally includes the production, generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, heat, fuel and other consumable forms of energy through the utilization of renewable fuel sources such as geothermal, biofuels, synfuels, wind, ocean waves, "clean coal," and waste stream pyrolysis (to mention a few); and the infrastructure needed to maintain and operate the facilities, services and installations used in the foregoing areas. Although we may consider a target business in any segment of the renewable energy industry, we currently intend to concentrate our search for an acquisition candidate on companies in the following segments:
| · | Wind electric generation, distribution and transmission; |
| · | Solar power; |
| · | Co-generation; |
| · | Bio-mass; |
| · | Synthetic gas production, distribution and transmission; |
| · | Energy efficiency and energy conservation related products and services; |
| 3 |
| · | Alternative transportation technologies; |
| · | Steam generation and distribution; |
| · | Alternative transportation technologies; |
| · | Energy storage technologies; |
| · | Other alternative and renewable energy technologies; and |
| · | The development, installation or manufacturing of any of the above. |
Development Plan
Based on our proposed business activities, we are a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") defines "blank check" companies as,
any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.
We also qualify as a "shell company," as defined under Rule 12b-2 adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, because we have no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of blank check companies in their respective jurisdictions.
Management does not intend to undertake any effort to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements. We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the advantages of being a reporting company. After the consummation of a business combination with an operating company, the surviving company will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which may be advantageous when establishing a public market. Furthermore, being a reporting company is required in order to seek a listing on a national exchange.
We have a nominal amount of capital and will depend on our directors to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will collectively devote approximately five hours per week to searching for a target company until an acquisition candidate is identified and a transaction closed.
We believe that business opportunities may come to our attention from various sources, including, professional advisors such as attorneys, and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited funds that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any acquisition, if it occurs, will be on terms that are favorable to us or our current stockholders. As of this date, we have not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for us. We have flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our effort to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following kinds of factors:
| · | Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products; |
| · | Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; |
| · | Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment; |
| · | Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements, or from other sources; |
| 4 |
| · | The cost of participation by us as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials; |
| · | The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced; |
| · | The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance, and other required items; and |
| · | Other relevant factors. |
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which may make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or be able to fully investigate potential adverse factors concerning the opportunity to be acquired.
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of us and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of us and such promoters. It is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of our common stock or other securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other tax free transaction provisions under the Code, all prior stockholders would retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who are stockholders prior to the acquisition. Our present stockholders will likely not have control of our majority voting securities following an acquisition transaction. However, our present stockholders will benefit from such a transaction by retaining an equity interest in the surviving company, a cash payment in exchange for outstanding shares, or a combination of both cash and equity. As part of such a transaction, our present directors or officers may resign and one or more new directors or officers may be appointed in connection with the transaction.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving us, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval. It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to us of the related costs incurred.

Employees
The Company currently has no employees. Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary, and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as it is seeking and evaluating business opportunities. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the decision whether or not to acquire or participate in specific business opportunities.
Where You Can Find Information
We are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports of certain events on Form 8-K, and proxy and information statements disseminated to stockholders in connection with meetings of stockholders and other stockholder actions.

Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments
None
The Company currently maintains a mailing address at 10935 57th Avenue North, Plymouth, Minnesota 55442. The Company’s telephone number there is (952) 541-1155. Other than this mailing address, the Company does not currently maintain any other office facilities, and does not anticipate the need for maintaining office facilities at any time in the foreseeable future. The Company pays no rent or other fees for the use of the mailing address as these offices are used virtually full-time by other businesses of the Company’s executive officer and director.
It is likely that the Company will not establish an office until it has completed a business acquisition transaction, but it is not possible to predict what arrangements will actually be made with respect to future office facilities.
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated.

Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-K and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

General
Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp. was incorporated on June 21, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in either the renewable energy or the environmental industry and their related infrastructures. As we have not had substantial operations or substantial assets since inception, the Company is considered in the development stage.
During calendar year 2015, we accepted $7,500 in “standstill” payments from an unrelated third party in anticipation of conducting due diligence and negotiating an agreement related to a potential acquisition. In addition, we agreed not to enter into discussions or negotiations with any other acquisition target for a period of at least 30 days. We did not reach an agreement and effort to make an agreement has been abandoned.
| 7 |
Results of Operations
We had no operating revenue for either of the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016, respectively.
General and administrative expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were approximately $16,000 and $23,000, respectively. These expenses were directly related to the maintenance of the corporate entity and the preparation and filing of periodic reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Earnings (loss) per share for the respective years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $(0.03) and $(0.15) based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding at the end of each respective period.
It is anticipated that future expenditure levels will remain relatively consistent until such time that the Company completes a business combination transaction. Upon completion of a business combination transaction, it is anticipated that the Company’s expenses will increase significantly.
The Company does not expect to generate any meaningful revenue or incur operating expenses for purposes other than fulfilling the obligations of a reporting company under the Exchange Act unless and until such time that the Company begins meaningful operations.
Plan of Business
Our development plan, form of acquisition and a discussion of the renewable energy industry and its related infrastructure is more fully discussed in Part 1, Item 1 of this filing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1,592 that primarily reflects our net loss of $19,673, change in accounts payable of $13,990, change in interest payable of $2,831 and interest contributed as capital by stockholders of $1,260, compared to $24,788 for the year ended December 31, 2016, that mainly reflects our net loss of $26,745, interest contributed as capital by stockholders of $1,570, change in interest payable of $1,704 and change in accounts payable of $1,317.
Our cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3,275, compared to $24,350 for the year ended December 31, 2016. For both years, these amounts consisted of proceeds from notes payable to stockholders.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $(94,000) and $(76,000), respectively; inclusive of stockholder debt of approximately $65,000 and $62,000, respectively.
It is the belief of management and significant stockholders that they will provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s majority stockholder to have the resources available to support the Company. Should this pledge fail to provide financing, the Company has not identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's need for working capital may change dramatically as a result of any business acquisition or combination transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will identify any such business, product, technology or company suitable for acquisition in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that it will be able to profitably manage the business, product, technology or company it acquires.
The Company has no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location of a merger or acquisition candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover the expenses related to such activities.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note D of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The required financial statements begin on page F-1 of this document.
Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer (Certifying Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC due to a weakness in our controls described below. However, our Certifying Officer believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods presented.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| 9 |
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended December 31, 2017, has determined that we are currently considered to be a shell company in as much as we have no specific business plans, no operations, revenues or employees. Because we have only one executive operating officer, the Company's internal controls are deficient for the following reasons, (1) there are no entity level controls because there is only one person serving in the dual capacity of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, (2) there are no segregation of duties as that same person approves, enters, and pays the Company's bills, and (3) there is no separate audit committee. As a result, the Company's internal controls have an inherent weakness, which may increase the risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations and accordingly are deficient as evaluated against the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2017.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting because it is not required under applicable regulations.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting which internal controls will remain deficient until such time as the Company completes a merger transaction or acquisition of an operating business at which time management will be able to implement effective controls and procedures.

Item 10 - Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
The directors and executive officers serving the Company are as follows:
| Name | Age | Position Held and Tenure | ||
| Craig S. Laughlin | 68 | President, Chief Executive Officer | ||
| Chief Financial Officer and Director |
Our director serves for a term beginning with election and ending with resignation, removal by the stockholders, or election of a successor by the stockholders. Executive officers serve by appointment at the discretion of the board of directors.
| 10 |
CRAIG S. LAUGHLIN, PRESIDENT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND DIRECTOR.
Mr. Laughlin, a significant stockholder, officer and director, is the founder and President of SRC Funding, LLC, a privately-owned Minnesota company engaged in business consulting services and private investment activity.
Mr. Laughlin is also the president and a director, of HPC Acquisitions, Inc., a publicly-owned Nevada corporation, which currently files periodic reports with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission and engaged in the business of distributing eco-friendly agro-products. .
Mr. Laughlin has served as chairman and secretary of Merlin Marketing International, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation engaged in the business of distributing sound system components; has served as the Managing Member of Machine Magic, LLC, a privately held Minnesota company that is developing a fully automated self-service key duplication vending machine; and has served as a director of Gold Standard Medical, Inc., an inactive publicly-held shell company that is not currently filing periodic reports with the SEC and does not intend to pursue a business combination opportunity in which to participate unless and until it can update its corporate and financial affairs.
Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and person who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports regarding ownership of and transactions in our securities with the Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies received by or a written representation from certain reporting persons we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we believe that all eligible persons are in compliance with the requirements of Section 16(a).
Code of Ethics
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics. Since the Company has no employees and one person serving as the sole executive and financial officer, as well as being a director, a code of ethics would have no practical benefit due to the lack of any meaningful reporting or accountability process.
Item 11 - Executive Compensation
Executive Officers
No officer or director has received any compensation from us. Until we consummate a business combination, it is not anticipated that any officer or director will receive compensation from us.
We have no stock option, retirement, pension, or profit-sharing programs for the benefit of directors, officers or other employees.

Our directors receive no compensation from us for serving on the board. Until we consummate a business combination, we do not intend to reimburse our officers or directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending the board meetings or for conducting business activities.
Executive Compensation
Craig S. Laughlin has received no compensation from us nor have we accrued any cash or non-cash compensation for his services since he was elected as an officer and director. The current management and oversight of the Company requires less than four hours per month. In future periods, subsequent to the consummation of a business combination transaction, the Company anticipates that it will pay compensation to its officer(s) and/or director(s).
We do not have any employment or consulting agreements with any parties nor do we have a stock option plan or other equity compensation plans.

Relationships and Transactions
During 2017, Craig Laughlin, an officer and director, advanced to us $3,275 to support the Company’s working capital needs, which is in addition to advances made in prior periods. The total amount of advances at the end of 2017 was $65,169. These loans are due upon demand and bear interest at 6.0% per annum.

Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that none of its directors is "independent" under the criteria set forth in Rule 5065(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The board does not have a separately designated audit, nominating, or compensation committee, so the functions normally attributed to these committees are performed by the entire board. Accordingly, none of our directors is "independent" under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules that define independence for purposes of directors performing the functions of such committees.

S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Board also discussed with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of our internal controls.
The Company’s principal accountant, GBH CPAs, PC, did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp.
Plymouth, Minnesota
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp (the "Company") as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Other matters
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Company operating history, limited cash on hand, no operating assets and has a business plan with inherent risk that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp.
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Note A - Background and Description of Business
Renewable Energy Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 21, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Company was formed as a blank check company to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in either the renewable energy or the environmental industry and their related infrastructures. To date, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities.
Note B - Preparation of Financial Statements
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has elected a year-end of December 31.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented
For segment reporting purposes, the Company operated in only one industry segment during the periods represented in the accompanying financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.
Note C - Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company was formed to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in either the renewable energy or the environmental industry and their related infrastructures. To date, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successful in the implementation of this business plan.
The Company has no operating history, limited cash on hand, no operating assets and has a business plan with inherent risk. Because of these factors, the Company’s auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means, in the auditor’s opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists from the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
The Company’s current management anticipates that the initial capitalization will be sufficient to maintain the corporate status of the Company for the immediate future. Because of the Company's lack of operating assets, the Company’s continuance may become fully dependent upon either future sales of securities and/or advances or loans from significant stockholders or corporate officers to provide sufficient working capital to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity during the development phase.
| F-7 |
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to implement its business plan, generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations, and provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. The Company faces considerable risk in its business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our uncertainty to raise adequate capital in the equity securities market.
The Company is dependent upon existing cash balances to support its day-to-day operations. In the event that working capital sufficient to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company’s existing controlling stockholders intend to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or existing controlling stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s existing controlling stockholders to have the resources available to support the Company.
The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 million shares of preferred stock and 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede the implementation of the Company’s business plan. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities.
In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.
Note D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
| Cash | and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
| Organization | costs |
The Company has adopted the provisions of provisions required by the Start-Up Activities topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification whereby all costs incurred with the incorporation and reorganization, post-bankruptcy, of the Company were charged to operations as incurred.
| Income | taxes |
The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and various states, as appropriate and applicable. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as applicable, income tax examinations by regulatory taxing authorities for any period prior to January 1, 2014. However, the Company does not anticipate any examinations of returns filed subsequent to December 31, 2013.
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences generally represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and vacation accruals.
| F-8 |
Recognition of potential liabilities are required as a result of management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon examination by a respective taxing authority. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions.
| Income | (loss) per share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company did not have any outstanding items which could be deemed to be dilutive.
| Reclassifications |
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
| New | and Pending Accounting Pronouncements |
The Company is of the opinion that any and all pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
| Subsequent | Events |
Management has evaluated all activity of the Company through the issue date of the financial statements disclosure purposes.
Note E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

Note F - Income Taxes
The components of income tax (benefit) expense for the each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, are as follows:

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward(s) to offset future taxable income of approximately $54,300. The amount and availability of any net operating loss carryforward(s) will be subject to the limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Such factors as the number of shares ultimately issued within a three-year look-back period; whether there is a deemed more than 50% change in control; the applicable long-term tax exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual utilization of any net operating loss carryforward(s).
The Company's income tax (benefit) expense for the each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, are as follows:
| Year Ended | Year Ended | |||||||
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||

The Company’s only temporary difference due to statutory requirements in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, relate solely to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward(s). This difference gives rise to the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities causing either deferred tax assets or liabilities, as necessary, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||

| F-10 |
On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (the “2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The 2017 Tax Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 34% effective January 1, 2018. The rate change, along with certain immaterial changes in tax basis resulting from the 2017 Tax Act, resulted in a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax assets of $20,200 and a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance.
| Year Ended | Year Ended | |||||||

During the each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset increased by approximately $14,800 and $9,600, respectively.
Note G - Notes Payable to Stockholders
During 2016, one stockholder loaned an additional aggregate $24,350 in cash to the Company to support operations. These advances are due upon demand and bear interest at 6.0% per annum.
During 2017, one stockholder loaned an additional aggregate $3,275 in cash to the Company to support operations. These advances are due upon demand and bear interest at 6.0% per annum.
The Company has accrued interest payable to these stockholders aggregating $5,804 and $2,973 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding aggregate balances payable to stockholders were as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Notes payable | $ | 65,169 | $ | 61,894 | ||||
| Accrued interest payable | 5,804 | 2,973 | ||||||
| Total due stockholders | $ | 70,973 | $ | 64,867 | ||||
The Company has recognized an aggregate of $1,260 and $1,570, in interest expense for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively as additional paid-in capital for the economic event (calculated at an imputed interest rate of 6.0% per annum) related to the non-interest bearing feature on the aforementioned notes payable to stockholders.
Note I - Contingency
During 2015, the Company accepted an aggregate $7,500 in “stand still” payments from an unrelated third party in anticipation of conducting the appropriate due diligence and to negotiate in good faith an agreement related to a potential acquisition. In addition, the Company agreed to not enter into discussions or negotiations with any other acquisition target for a period of at least 30 days.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company received an additional $600 in “stand still” payments related to the aforementioned transaction.
As of the release date of this report, the Company has no definitive agreement or other arrangement related to any potential acquisition or business combination transaction.
Note J – Common Stock
On September 21, 2016, the Company decreased the number of shares and par value of the authorized common stock of the Company from 50,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, to 5,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, as a result of a 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock. All share amounts have been restated retroactively to reflect the impacts of the reverse stock split.
On September 23, 2016, the Company issued 537,625 shares of the Company’s common stock, to a stockholder in conversion and cancellation of $5,376 of note payment obligations owed by the Company to the stockholder.
