Note 2 - Basis of Presentation	NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. 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, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2017. 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. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were estimated at $16,502,362 and $10,922,288, respectively. 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. The Company determines the allowance based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical write-off experience and existing economic conditions. Receivables past due over 90 days are considered delinquent and reviewed individually for collectability. After all means of collection have been exhausted, delinquent receivables are written off. Management has determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 is $1,163,805 and $999,046 respectively. Bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is $259,834 and is $1,088,865, respectively. 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.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were estimated at $16,502,362 and $10,922,288, respectively. 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. The Company determines the allowance based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical write-off experience and existing economic conditions. Receivables past due over 90 days are considered delinquent and reviewed individually for collectability. After all means of collection have been exhausted, delinquent receivables are written off. Management has determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 is $1,163,805 and $999,046 respectively. Bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is $259,834 and is $1,088,865, respectively.
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.
