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 three-month period ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2016. 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. |

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies | 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 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. 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 March 31, 2016, were estimated at $9,723,193. 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 TDSP's 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. |

Note 4 - Private Placement of Series B Preferred Shares | NOTE 4 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 Conversion Optional Conversion Mandatory Conversion Liquidation Redemption The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Series B Designation and the offering of the Series B Preferred, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2014. In accordance with the Series B Designation, dividends due to holders of Series B Preferred may be paid at the option of the holder in shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock valued at the fair market value of such shares of common stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on the record date of the dividend. The holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative monthly dividends at the annual rate of 12% of the Deemed Original Issue Price per share, in preference to and in priority over any dividends with respect to Common Stock. At the option of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, dividends may be paid to holders of Series B Preferred Stock in shares of the Company's common stock valued at fair market value of such shares of common stock as determined in good faith by the board of directors. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company had paid $56,847 of cumulative monthly dividends on Series B Preferred Stock. Certain shareholders elected to be paid in shares of the Company's common stock shares valued at $11,968 and the remaining holders were paid a total of $44,879 in cash. |

Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance outstanding shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month. Guaranty of the Advance to Loan Amount Note has been made by four members of the Company's board of directors ("Guarantors"). The Company agreed to issue the four Guarantors a total of 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock per month (30,000 shares of common stock per month per Guarantor) reduced accordingly as the loan is reduced for agreeing to act as a Guarantor of the Advance to Loan Amount. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 298,004 shares of common stock to the Guarantors and recognized $298,006 in financing cost, and the balance of the Advance to Loan Amount was zero at March 31, 2016. |

("SEH"), entered into a Second Lien Term Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") with Black Ink Energy, LLC ("BIE"). Pursuant to the Agreement, BIE agreed to provide a term loan (the "Term Loan") to the Borrower, and the Borrower agreed to borrow and repay funds loaned by BIE. The amount of the Term Loan is Three Million Dollars $3,000,000, and the loan is not revolving in nature. Pursuant to the Agreement, any amounts prepaid or repaid may not be re-borrowed by the Borrower. The maturity date of the loan is September 2, 2016. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, except in the occurrence of an event of default, at which point the default interest rate will be 18%. Interest is payable in arrears on the last day of each month and on the maturity date of the loan. The Term Loan was not evidenced by a promissory note. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Borrower has the option to prepay the loan amount in whole by providing prior notice to BIE and by paying a pre-payment premium of $300,000. Additionally, the Borrower agreed to pay to BIE a facility fee. The facility fee in the amount of $24,450 was expensed immediately as fees occurred to obtain financial resource. In connection with the March 2, 2015 Agreement, the Borrower and BIE also entered into a Second Lien Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement"), and SEH and BIE entered into a Second Lien Membership Interest Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement").

The Warrant has a term of ten (10) years, has an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant. The Warrant also contains a cashless or net exercise provision, pursuant to which the holder of the Warrant may elect to convert all or a portion of the Warrant without the payment of additional consideration, by receiving a net number of shares calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Warrant. SEH agreed to reserve 120% of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant so long as the Warrant is exercisable and outstanding. Additionally, SEH agreed to grant to the holder piggyback registration rights. The Term Loan has a relative fair value of $2,967,535 and the warrant has a relative fair value of $32,465 at the date of issuance determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair market value are as follows: (i) risk-free interest rate of 0.87% (ii) estimated volatility of 17% (iii) dividend yield of 0.00% and (iv) expected life of the options of five years.

Revenue Recognition | 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 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. |
Unbilled Revenue and Accounts Receivable | 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 March 31, 2016, were estimated at $9,723,193. 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 | 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 TDSP's 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. |
