INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERALL STRATEGIC DIRECTION

The Company is in the Photo Voltaic (PV) solar systems industry and building out its network of operations in major cities in the USA in order to establish a national base that can be called upon for large product construction.  A large sales base of residential and small commercial will add up to a qualifying volume of business to put us in line for very large projects.  By growing locally in each community, we will meet the demand that a non-local office may not be able to attract. Our expansion is planned in the Sunbelt states and the progressive Northern states where alternative energy is popular.

OVERVIEW

As of December 31, 2013, we operated in three locations in Arizona and one location in New York, New York. The Company plan is to expand to more locations in North America in the next year. We believe that the solar and energy efficiency business functions better if the employees are local individuals working and selling in their own community. Our customers have indicated a preference for dealing with local firms and we will continue our focus on company-owned integrated product and services offices. Once a local firm is established, growth tends to come from experience, quality and name recognition. This will result in larger contracting jobs, statewide expansion and growth in revenue.   We remain committed to high quality operations.
Our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are presented below with major category details of revenue and expense including the components of operating expenses.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS

ABCO sells and installs Solar Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal products that are purchased from both USA and offshore manufacturers. We have available and utilize many suppliers of US manufactured solar products from such companies as Sunpower, Mage, Siliken Solar, Westinghouse Solar, Schuco and various Chinese suppliers.  In addition, we purchase from a number of local and regional distributors whose products are readily available and selected for markets and price.  ABCO offers solar leasing and long term financing programs from Sunpower, Suncap and AEFC that are offered to ABCO customers and other marketing and installation organizations.

ABCO has Arizona statewide approval as a registered electrical services and solar products installer.  Our licenses are ROC 258378 electrical and Thermal ROC 282942 and we are fully licensed to offer commercial and residential electrical services.   We will need to be licensed as electrical service and water service providers in other states in which we may open operations.  We anticipate we will be able to provide for these requirements.
 
COMPETITION

The solar power market itself is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving.  Price and available financing are the principal methods of competition in the industry.  Based upon these two criteria, our position in the industry is relatively small.  There is no competitive data available to us in our competitive position within the industry.  Our competitors have established market positions more prominent than ours, and if we fail to attract and retain customers and establish a successful distribution network, we may be unable to achieve sales and market share.  There are a number of major multi-national corporations that produce solar power products, including, Suntech, Sunpower, First Solar, Kyocera, Sharp, GE, Mitsubishi, Solar World AG and Sanyo.  Also established integrators are growing and consolidating, including GoSolar, Sunwize, Sunenergy and Real Good Solar and we expect that future competition will include new entrants to the solar power market.  Further, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies that may have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.
 

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

The Company believes that its key competitive advantages are:
 
1.   The ability to make decisions and use management’s many years of business experience to make the right decisions.
     
2.   Experience with National expansion programs by management.
     
3.   Experience with management of employee operated facilities from a central management office.
     
4.   Experience with multi-media promotional program for name recognition and product awareness.
     
5.   Alternative energy is a fast growing and popular industry that relates well to customers and current or future shareholders that recognize the market, products and business focus.
 
ADVANTAGES OF COMPETITORS OVER US

The Company believes the following are advantages of Competitors over us.
 
1.  
Larger competitors have more capital.
     
2.  
Larger companies have more experience in the market.
     
3.  
Larger companies will get the larger contracts because of the level of experience.
     
4.  
We have the same products but must pay more because of volume.  This will be a price consideration in bidding competition
     
5.  
We are a small company that may not be able to compete because we do not have experience or working capital adequate to compete with other companies.
 
CURRENT BUSINESS FOCUS

We believe that we have developed very good promotional material and advertising products.  We have developed the key messages and promotional pieces that are relevant to our business and inexpensive to produce.  Fortunately, a large portion of our promotion is able to be done via the internet where we rank high on the local inquiry counters.  We have built a very informative and interactive web site that will allow people to assess their requirements, and partially build and price a system, much like the automobile dealers utilize. Additional sales promotion will increase when we have secured outside financing or increased sales through direct sales efforts. Try our website at www.abcosolar .com. We have established a direct sales force to call on major Government agencies including State, Local and Federal resources and a separate division to call on the many American Indian governments in the US. This allows us to quote with our specifications on RFP’s and RFQ’s that are issued by the GSA, BIA and other agencies.

ABCO will not manufacture its solar products. We will continue to be a sales and installation contractor with plans to enter the markets of major US and international cities. We will sell and use commercial off the shelf components. Initially this will include the solar panels and LED lighting products purchased to our specification. A strong alliance with a well-respected distributor will be the most conservative decision for the company at this time.

Our business and the industry are reliant upon a number of state and federal programs to assist our customers in the acquisition of our products and services.  Such programs are the utility rebates paid directly to customers for wattage installations and the state and federal tax credit programs that allow a percentage of the actual cost of installations to be refunded in the form of tax credits.  Many states have mandated the utilities in to collect funds from their customers for the payment of rebates or have other arrangements like credit sale programs (SREC).  All of these programs are listed on the website www.dsireusa.org.

Most of these programs are slated for expiration at differing times in the future.  The federal tax credit of 30% of installation cost will expire at the end of 2016.  State tax credit programs change and expire at various times.  US Treasury program for cash rebate of tax credits, Section 1603, expired December 31, 2011, and curtailed on October31, 2012, for any project started in 2011.  The effect of the curtailment of the 1603 program will be a reduced emphasis on the leased solar systems we sell but we have no idea how much this will affect our business. State rebate mandates and state tax credits are variable by state. All of these programs provide incentives for our customers that result in reduced cost.  The price of solar products has also been reduced drastically in the past two years and is balancing the need for the subsidies.
 

CUSTOMER BASE

The direct competitors of ABCO have been in business for a substantial period of time and have developed over time a defined customer base.  Referrals are important in any market and time in business makes the customer base grow. No customer represented a significant percentage of the Company’s total revenue in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES

ABCO has adequate working capital to continue as a going concern and will operate its business within the boundaries of its capital.  We will continue to source capital from the equity and debt markets in order to fund our plans for expansion if we are unable to produce adequate capital from operations.

EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT

The Company believes that it has experienced management. ABCO’s principal, Charles O’Dowd, has broad experience in the sales and installation of solar products.   Mr. O’Dowd has the ability and experience to attract and hire experienced and talented individuals to help manage the

company.  The company believes that the knowledge, relationships, reputation and successful track record of its management will help it to build and maintain its customer base.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company is not currently conducting any research and development activities. However if research and development is required in the future, we intend to rely on third party service providers.

AEFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABCO Energy.  AEFC provides funding for leases of photovoltaic systems.  AEFC finances its leases from cash payments from its own cash or from single payments or long term leases from lessees.  Long term leases recorded on the consolidated financial statements were 421,486 and $21,712 at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The aggregate total of leases receivable over the entire term including inputted interest at 8% internal rate of return is approximately $39,617 and $40,897 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.

EMPLOYEES

The Company presently has 12 full-time employees, five (3) in management, 4 in sales and the balance are in various labor crew positions. The Company anticipates that it will need to hire additional employees as the business grows. In addition, the Company may expand the size of our Board of Directors in the future.  Mr. O’Dowd will devote full time (40 plus hours) to the affairs of the Company.  No employees are represented by a union and there have not been any work stoppages.
 
SUBSEQUENT   EVENTS

On November 19, 2012 the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved the ABCO Energy, Inc. Regulation A offering of up to 6,250,000 shares of free trading shares of common stock for an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,437,500.   As of the date of this Annual Report no shares have been offered or sold under the Reg A offering. FINRA approved our request for name change, symbol change and reverse split of ENYC shareholdings during 2013.

On December 26, 2012 ABCO Energy appointed a new transfer agent--- VStock Transfer in New York, NY.   See Item 7 below.

ITEM 2.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
 
RESULTS OF   OPERATION
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including, among others, those relating to our anticipated financial performance for fiscal 2013 and 2012, cash requirements, and our expected operating office openings. Only statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking and speak only as of the date on which they are made. Information included in this discussion and analysis includes commentary on company-owned offices and sales volumes. Management believes such sales information is an important measure of our performance, and is useful in assessing consumer acceptance of the ABCO Energy Business Model and the overall health of the Company. All of our financial information is reported in accordance with U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Such financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

FISCAL   YEAR   ENDED   DECEMBER   31,   2013   COMPARED   TO   FISCAL   YEAR   ENDED   DECEMBER 31, 2012

Sales decreased by $1,538,441 or 65% from 2012 to $823,147 in 2013 from $2,361,588 in 2012.

Cost of sales decreased by $1,209,297, or 61%, to $776,853 in 2013 from $1,986,150 in 2012 due primarily to reduction in sales, reduction in prices in the market place and extreme competition from installers and the finance markets. The Company also changed its focus from residential installs to a commercial focus in order to meet changes in the market. Gross margin as a percentage of total sales decreased to 6% in 2013 from 16% in 2012, primarily due to lower product selling prices partially offset by a sales mix shift to the lower profit and competition of residential leases.

General and administrative expenses increased by $132,089, or 25%, to $667,955 in 2013 from
$535,866 in 2012 due primarily to sales force and advertising expenses in 2013. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher cost of sales persons and for fixed operating costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity and capital requirements have been for carrying cost of accounts receivable and inventory during and after completion of contracts. The industry habitually requires the solar contractor to wait for the utility rebate and in order to be paid for the contracts. This process can easily exceed 90 days and requires the contractor to pay all or most of the cost of the project without assistance from suppliers. Our working capital at December 31, 2013 was $35,350 and it was $459,173 at December 31, 2012. This decrease of $423,823 was primarily funded by our equity offerings and the decreases in inventory and accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2013. Bank financing has not been available to the Company. Our supplier lines of credit have increased by 230% in this period due to our working capital and credit experience, however our accounts payable are significantly lower.

ABCO Energy has very little contracted lease obligations or long term debt. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the company owed Officers and Directors $60,000 and $15,000 respectively on demand notes.
 
STATEMENTS   OF   CASH FLOWS

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 our net cash provided by operating activities was $(359,377) and $(70,284) respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities in the period ended December 31, 2013 consisted primarily of net loss from operations adjusted for non-cash expenses and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The major supplier programs were changed in January of 2012 and this decreased the use of our working capital for materials. By the end of the period ended December 31, 2013 all of the utility and treasury receivables had been collected and our operations reduced the negative effect of cash flows from operations.
 

Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,477 and $(33,065) respectively due to acquisitions of equipment and deposits on inventory. Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $428,785 and $(33,901) respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2013 and 2012 resulted primarily from the issuance of common stock. Cash flows from Financing Activities were reduced by legal and other costs of SEC Regulation A applications, Blue Sky registrations in various states, and other offering expenses that aggregated a total of $39,733.

Since our inception on August 8, 2008 through December 31, 2012 we have incurred net operating losses of ($1,164,883). Our cash and cash equivalent balances were $92,157 and $26,044 for the period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. At December 31, 2013 we had total liabilities of $176,600 as opposed to $143,668 at December 31, 2012.

We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements – primarily the working capital required for the marketing of our services and to offset legal and accounting fees – by additional financing. This will likely be in the form of future debt or equity financing.  Based on our current operating plan, we have sufficient working capital to sustain operations for the short term if we do not expand our business. We will not however, be able to reach our goals and projections for multistate expansion without a cash infusion. We expect that our revenue will increase at a steady pace and that this volume of business will result in profitable operations in the future.

ITEM 3.  PROPERTIES

The Company has paid security deposits on the three rented spaces it occupies for offices and warehouse which total 45,190 on March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

ABCO lease a 1,200 square foot office and warehouse in an industrial park in Phoenix, Arizona for a monthly rental of 41,254, which expires on February 28, 2016.  The aggregate total rent due on this lease through expiration is $28,482.00.

There is no lease on the Williams, Arizona property because this office is located in the office of a Director and no lease has been established. The NY office lease has expired and the Company has moved the office to a consultant’s home.

On May 1, 2014, the Company rented office and warehouse space at2100 N. Wilmot #211, Tucson, Arizona 85712.  This facility consists of 3,600 square feet and the two year lease has a forward commitment of $64,800, with an option to cancel one third of the rental after six months.

ITEM 7.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Share Exchange Agreements between ABCO Energy, Inc. and Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC)

On July 1, 2011 Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC) completed a share exchange agreement (SEA) to exchange ENYC shares for 100 % of the common shares of ABCO Energy.  The Company has accounted for this transaction utilizing the purchase method as directed in SFAS 141 and FASB Statement No. 38.

The principle reason for the SEA on the part of the acquirer, ABCO Energy was to become a publicly traded entity for access to the capital markets. The principle reason for ENYC agreeing to the SEA was to provide sales and operations in their development stage entity which did not have significant sales transactions.
 
As a result of the SEA, the outstanding shares of ENYC as of June 30, 2011 were restated in a one for twenty three (1 for 23) reverse division prior to the exchange, equaling approximately 9% of the post-exchange outstanding ABCO common shares. The result of the reverse split was a reissue of all pre-acquisition shares of ENYC.
 
 
The share exchange agreement resulted in the issuance of the following shares:

(1) The controlling shareholders of pre-exchange ENYC agreed to purchase the inventory of ENYC for cash after closing of the SEA.  A total of 600,000 restricted shares were held in escrow until the payment to the company of $92,248 or these shares were to be cancelled for non-payment.  This group of shares was canceled in 2013 in exchange for the inventory by mutual agreement.  The total resulting common stock retained by the ENYC shareholders was 775,730 shares as a result of the exchange.

ABCO Energy pre-acquisition shareholders were issued 13,957,708 shares of the post-acquisition company.

An additional 120,000 shares were issued to consultants who were instrumental in the completion of the transaction. The value of $120 ($0.001 per share (par)) for this service has been charged to expense in the transaction.

Shortly after the effective date of the SEA, the name of ENYC was changed to ABCO Energy, Inc.  This SEA resulted in a complete change of control, and all prior Directors and Officers resigned from the company before the effective date of July 1, 2011.

The predecessor to ABCO Energy, the private company, was liquidated after transferring all of its assets to ENYC.  ABCO Energy owned the wholly owned subsidiaries, ABCO Solar and AEFC prior to the exchange agreement.

ENYC had no sales for the period ended June 30, 2011 and no operating expenses because the company was inactive.

There is a demand note due from and officer and director in the principal amount of $60,000 a as of December 31, 2013. This note provides for interest at 12% per annum and is unsecured.  The note resulted in an interest charge of $1840 through the period ended March 31, 2014 and all interest was paid in full through this date.
 
Any future material transactions and loans will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to the Company that those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  Any forgiveness of loans must be approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who have access, at the Company’s expense, to Company’s or independent counsel.

ITEM 8.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 5, 2014, the Arizona Superior Court entered a Judgment (“AZ Judgment”) affirming the ruling of the Arizona Corporate Commission (“ACC”) dated March 21, 2013.  This means that the Company, a successor in interest to Westcap Energy, Corp. (“Westcap”) may have successor liability and may be required to participate in the rescission process; however there is no judgment or order against the Company.  The AZ Judgment states that Westcap, jointly and severally with the other defendants, is ordered to pay the $15,000 penalty to the ACC along with offering rescission (“Rescission Offer”) to the 24 shareholders who received stock under the initial Westcap Reg. S offering.  A Notice of Appeal has been filed on behalf of Westcap and the other defendants with the Arizona Court of Appeals. The filing of this Notice does not stay the enforcement of AZ Judgment.  Westcap, under the AZ Judgment, has sixty (60) days from June 5, 2014, to commence the Rescission Offer to the 24 shareholders who are now Company shareholders.  It is the Company’s opinion that the defense of the legal position of all defendants is in the best interest of all shareholders and therefore has paid legal fees during 2013 totaling $23,785.
 
 
The Company previously offered rescission voluntarily to the 21 of the 24 old Westcap shareholders who could be reached, and none elected to accept the rescission offer.  The Company believes that the ACC mandated rescission offer to the same 24 shareholders will ultimately not have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.  Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability on the legal matter. If Westcap and the other defendants fail to comply with the provisions of the AZ Judgment, i.e., pay the penalties and complete the Rescission Offer, then under the terms of the AZ Judgment, $388,495 plus interest at 4% from June 5, 2014, shall become immediately due and payable to the State of Arizona.

It is within the ACC’s power to order the rescission funds to be placed into escrow matching the amount required to accomplish rescission to all 24 shareholders.  The ACC has thus far not indicated that the escrow payment will be required. If the aggregate of the 24 potential rescission claims plus the 4½% interest allowed by law, is required to be placed into escrow, absent the infusion of new capital into the Company, the Company will be unable to pay the required amounts into escrow.  Because there is no Judgment against the Company, the Company does not believe any such escrow requirement is enforceable against the Company.  If the escrow is ordered by the ACC, the Company intends to seek a waiver of the requirement.

ITEM 9.  MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

A VERY LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR SHARES

Our shares were listed on the OTC Pink tier (non-reporting) under the symbol ABCE.   As of June 30, 2013, the shares were last quoted at $0.17 per share.  On July 20, 2013, OTC Markets, Inc. de-listed the shares to the grey market.

We cannot give any assurance that a market for our shares will ever develop.  In addition, even if a public market for our shares develops, there is no assurance that a secondary public market will be sustained.  We intend to have our common stock again quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board®.  However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in finding a market maker who will be successful at having our shares quoted.  Further, even assuming we do locate such a market maker, it could take several months before the market maker’s listing application, which is required for our shares to trade, is approved.  The OTC Bulletin Board® is maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers (the NASD, now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)). The securities traded on the Bulletin Board are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, these securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Over-the-counter stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
 
Even if our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board®, a purchaser of our shares may not be able to resell the shares. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they will be considered penny stocks and will be subject to the penny stock rules. Upon becoming a reporting company, Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA brokers-dealers who make a market in a “penny stock.” A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market, assuming one develops.

Holders of capital stock have no preemptive or other subscription or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the capital stock.

The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of ABCO Energy Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ABCO Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.   An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ABCO Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which 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 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2   Summary of significant accounting policies

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

These financial statements consist of the consolidated financial positions and results of operations of both the parent, ABCO Energy, Inc. and the subsidiary companies.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the fiscal years presented and for the interim period have been included.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, income taxes, equity-based compensation, litigation and warranties.  The Company bases its estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.

The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of the Company’s financial statements.  These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent for other sources.  By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
There are only cash accounts included in our cash equivalents in these statements.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no short term cash equivalents reported in these financial statements.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are to be stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis according to IRS guidelines over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  
 
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of solar products, LED lighting, installation services and leasing fees. During the last fiscal year the company had product sales as follows:

Sales Product and Services Description
 
2013
   
2012
 
Solar PV residential and commercial sales
  $ 471,585       57 %   $ 1,937,541       83 %
Solar thermal residential -commercial
    92,611       11 %     20,595       -  
ABCO LED & energy efficient lighting
    256,435       31 %     401,493       17 %
Interest Income
    2,516       1 %     1,959       -  
 Total revenue
  $ 823,147       100 %   $ 2,361,588       100 %

The Company recognizes product revenue, net of sales discounts, returns and allowances, in accordance Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”) and ASC 605. These statements establish that revenue can be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is considered probable.  

Our revenue recognition is recorded on the percentage of completion method for sales and installation revenue and on the accrual basis for fees and interest income.  We recognize and record income when the customer has a legal obligation to pay.  All of our revenue streams are acknowledged by written contracts for any of the revenue we record.  There are no differences between major classes of customers or customized orders.  We record discounts, product returns, rebates and other related accounting issues in the normal business manner and experience very small number of adjustments to our written contractual sales.  There are no post-delivery obligations because warranties are maintained by our suppliers. Our lease fees are earned by providing services to contractors for financing of solar systems.  Normally we will acquire the promissory note (lease) on a leased system that will provide cash flow for up to 20 years.  Interest is recorded on the books when earned on amortized leases.

Accounts Receivable
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of product to customers and does not make bill-and-hold sales.   Contracts spanning reporting periods are recorded on the percentage of completion method for recognition of revenue and expenses.  Accounts receivable includes fully completed and partially completed projects and partially billed statements for completed work and product delivery.
 
 
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at cost and is managed on a first in first out method.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting.  Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable either when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes also are recognized for net operating losses (NOL) that are available to offset future federal income taxes.  Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax asset and liability accounts.  A deferred tax asset results from the benefit of utilizing the NOL carry-forwards in future years.

Due to the current uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the tax NOL carry-forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefits for the deferred taxes has not been established. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry-forward depends predominately upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income during future periods, which is not assured.

We have adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. During the periods presented in this report there were no changes in our unrecognized tax benefits.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 requires the Corporation to disclose estimated fair value for its financial instruments.  Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth as follows for the Corporation’s financial instruments.  The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, other current assets, payables, accrued expenses and notes payable are reported at cost but approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The company has no stock based compensation reported in these financial statements.
 
Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 805- Business Combinations) . Among other changes, SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value; and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including earn-out provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R).  The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with GAAP.  With the issuance of this statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . The Company has evaluated the new statement and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of its financial results.
 

Per Share Computations
Basic net earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income.
 
Note 3 Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and marketing. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from inception through the period ended December 31, 2013 of $1,164,833. In addition, the Company's development activities since inception have been financially sustained through capital contributions from shareholders.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock or through debt financing and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 4 Warranties of the Company

ABCO Energy provides a five and ten year workmanship warranties for installed systems that cover labor and installation matters only.  All installed products are warranted by the manufacturer.  In the last four years of operations, all claims on workmanship have been handled expeditiously and inexpensively by the company.  Management does not consider the warranty as a significant or material risk.

Note 5 Share Exchange Agreements between ABCO Energy, Inc. and Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC)

On July 1, 2011 Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC) completed a share exchange agreement (SEA) to exchange ENYC shares for 100 % of the common shares of ABCO Energy.  The Company has accounted for this transaction utilizing the purchase method as directed in SFAS 141 and FASB Statement No. 38.

As a result of the SEA, the outstanding shares of ENYC as of June 30, 2011 were restated in a one for twenty three (1 for 23) reverse division prior to the exchange, equaling approximately 9% of the post-exchange outstanding ABCO common shares. The result of the reverse split was a reissue of all pre-acquisition shares of ENYC with ABCO shares.

The share exchange agreement resulted in the issuance of the following shares:

(1) The controlling shareholders of pre-exchange ENYC agreed to purchase the inventory of ENYC for cash after closing of the SEA.  A total of 600,000 restricted shares were held in escrow until the payment to the company of $92,248 or these shares were to be cancelled for non-payment.  This group of shares was canceled in 2013 in exchange for the inventory by mutual agreement resulting in a net acquisition issue of 775,730 shares.
 
 
ABCO Energy pre-acquisition shareholders were issued 13,957,708 shares of the post-acquisition company.

An additional 120,000 shares were issued to consultants who were instrumental in the completion of the transaction. The value of $120 ($0.001 per share (par)) for this service has been charged to expense in the transaction.

The predecessor to ABCO Energy, the private company, was liquidated after transferring all of its assets to ENYC.  The private company owned the wholly owned subsidiaries, ABCO Solar and AEFC prior to the exchange agreement.

Note 6 Security deposits and Long Term Commitments

The Company has paid security deposits on the two rented spaces it occupies for offices and warehouse which total $5,190 on December 31, 2013 and $5,990 on December 31, 2012.  This table describes the rent commitments as of date of this statement.

There is no lease on the Williams, Arizona property because this office is located in the office of a Director and no lease has been established. The NY office lease has expired and the Company has moved the office to a consultant’s home.

Note 7 Alternative Energy Finance Corporation (AEFC)

AEFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABCO Energy.  AEFC provides funding for leases of photovoltaic systems.  AEFC finances its leases from cash payments from its own cash or from single payments or long term leases from lessees.  In addition, AEFC takes assignments of utility rebates and US treasury department section 1603 grants for alternative energy credits.

Long term leases recorded on the consolidated financial statements were $21,712 and $22,675 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively. The aggregate total of leases receivable over the entire term including inputted interest at 8% internal rate of return is approximately $39,843 and $40,897 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

Note 8 Property and equipment

The Company has acquired all of its office and field work equipment with cash payments and do not owe any liens or mortgages.  These assets consist of vehicles, office furniture, tools and various equipment items and the totals are as follows:

Note 10 Legal Matters

On June 5, 2014, the Arizona Superior Court entered a Judgment (“AZ Judgment”) affirming the ruling of the Arizona Corporate Commission (“ACC”) dated March 21, 2013.  This means that the Company, a successor in interest to Westcap Energy, Corp. (“Westcap”) may have successor liability and may be required to participate in the rescission process; however there is no judgment or order against the Company.  The AZ Judgment states that Westcap, jointly and severally with the other defendants, is ordered to pay the $15,000 penalty to the ACC along with offering rescission (“Rescission Offer”) to the 24 shareholders who received stock under the initial Westcap Reg. S offering.  A Notice of Appeal has been filed on behalf of Westcap and the other defendants with the Arizona Court of Appeals. The filing of this Notice does not stay the enforcement of AZ Judgment.  Westcap, under the AZ Judgment, has sixty (60) days from June 5, 2014, to commence the Rescission Offer to the 24 shareholders who are now Company shareholders.  It is the Company’s opinion that the defense of the legal position of all defendants is in the best interest of all shareholders and therefore has paid legal fees during 2013 totaling $23,785.

The Company previously offered rescission voluntarily to the 21 of the 24 old Westcap shareholders who could be reached, and none elected to accept the rescission offer.  The Company believes that the ACC mandated rescission offer to the same 24 shareholders will ultimately not have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.  Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability on the legal matter or the $15,000 penalty.  If Westcap and the other defendants fail to comply with the provisions of the AZ Judgment, i.e., pay the penalties and complete the Rescission Offer, then under the terms of the AZ Judgment, $388,495 plus interest at 4% from June 5, 2014, shall become immediately due and payable to the State of Arizona.

It is within the ACC’s power to order the rescission funds to be placed into escrow matching the amount required to accomplish rescission to all 24 shareholders.  The ACC has thus far not indicated that the escrow payment will be required. If the aggregate of the 24 potential rescission claims plus the 4½% interest allowed by law, is agreed to be placed into escrow, absent the infusion of new capital into the Company, the Company will be unable to pay the required amounts into escrow.  Because there is no Judgment against the Company, the Company does not believe that the Rescission requirement, including any such escrow requirement is enforceable against the Company.  If the escrow is ordered by the ACC, the Company would seek a waiver of the requirement.

Note 11 Stockholder’s Equity

ABCO Energy was incorporated on July 29, 2004.  Its predecessor ABCO Solar was incorporated October 8, 2008 and capitalized for the sum of $10,000 and the Founders were issued 10,000,000 restricted common shares for organizational efforts.  The capitalization sum of $10,000 was charged to compensation, common stock and additional paid in capital.  On December 31, 2010 an ABCO director converted a promissory note in the amount of $50,000 into 1,000,000 shares of common stock.  These transactions resulted in total common stock equity of $60,000.

On March 2, 2010, the Company began a private placement of an 8% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) offering which was offered only in the European markets.  All preferred shares sold in this offering were convertible to common stock upon the event of going public on USA markets.  The Preferred Stock had an interest requirement of 8% per annum which ceased upon the conversion to common or when held for 12 months.  This offering was terminated as of March 31, 2011.  Effective July 1, 2011, all of the Preferred Stock was converted to common shares.  The conversion resulted in the issue of 2,957,708 common shares with a net capitalized value of $403,018 after related offering expenses.

Effective July 1, 2011 the Company entered into the SEA with ENYC, traded over the counter under the symbol ENYC.OTC.  As a result of the SEA, the Company’s pre-acquisition shareholders and consultants retained ownership of 775,730 shares and 120,000 shares respectively.  The owners elected to retain the inventory and accordingly canceled 600,000 shares of common stock in 2013 as a condition of the SEA.
 
 
In August 2011, the Company began a second European private placement offering of restricted common stock to non USA citizens only.  The offering consisted of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock offered at the price of $0.40 USD per share.  As of December, 2013, the Company had sold 4,841,856 shares.

In March 1, 2013 the Company began a third European private placement offering of restricted common stock to non USA citizens only.  The offering consisted of up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock offered at the price of $0.33 USD per share.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had sold 4,239,612 shares.

ABCO settled a substantial legal billing for the preparation of the Regulation A offering and its FINRA applications with the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock.  The shares were recorded at par during the 2012 and resulted in a reduction in legal fees expense and an increase in equity.

On March 18, 2013 the company founder cancelled the original issue 6,000,000 shares to satisfy a requirement for FINRA approval of the company merger, name change and roll back of ENYC shares. Additional shares sold plus this action resulted in the total number of common shares outstanding to be 17,768,574 and 20,065,634 as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

On September 11, 2013 the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the amended/updated ABCO Energy, Inc. Regulation A offering documents, so that the Company may offer 6,250,000 shares of free trading common stock for an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,437,500.  The Company is presently in the process of completing this financing.   Legal fees relating to the Regulation A offering, blue sky registrations with states and other fund raising expenses were charged to additional paid in capital in the amount of $49,733 and $208,041 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

 
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused the registration statements to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

At any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, each one Share of the Series may be converted by the holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 1/288,870 of 1.009% of the Company's outstanding common stock on the date of conversion, calculated on a fully diluted basis, as though all warrants, options, convertible debt, and any other class of convertible preferred stock, and any and all other stock rights, had been fully exercised or converted, but excluding all outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred, including the Series shares to be converted.

At anytime on or after May 1, 2010, the Company shall have the right to call the Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, and cause all, but not less then all, of said Series to be converted into common stock of the Company on the same terms for conversion as set forth above in this Section 5.
Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of shares of the Series shall be conducted In the following manner:

(1)           Series           Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert a share of the Series into shares of Common Stock on any date set forth in a Conversion Notice to be issued by the Series holder (the "Conversion Date") Series Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following the date of the Conversion Notice the original Certificate representing his shares of the Series, with written instructions as to the number of shares of the Series to be converted into Common Stock.

(2)            Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business Days after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via facsimile and overnight courier, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice (the "Conversion Confirmation") to such Series Holder indicating that the Company will process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Conversion Confirmation, the Company shall issue and surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Series Holder shall be entitled as a result of his conversion of shares of the Series. If less than the all the Series Holder's Series shares are submitted for conversion,
 
 
 

 
 
then Company shall immediately issue the Series Holder a new Certificate for the Shares of the Series which are not converted and remain in the hands of the Series Holder.

(3)            Record Holder The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of common Stock issuable upon a conversion of shares of the Series shall be treated for all purposes as the shareholder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(4)            Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of the Series.

Section 6. No Preemptive Rights. Holders of shares of this Series shall have no first right of refusal to purchase any shares sold by the Company in the future.

Section 7. Consolidation or Merger. In the case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party (other than a consolidation or merger In which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and in which the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation remain unchanged) or in the case of any sale or transfer to another company of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, then, if any shares of this Series are to remain outstanding following the consummation of such transaction, the Company shall make appropriate provision, or cause appropriate provision to be made, so that, upon conversion thereof, holders of shares of this Series outstanding immediately prior thereto shall have the right to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon the consummation of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of this Series would have been converted if conversion had occurred immediately before the date of the consummation of such transaction. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate to be signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company this 7th day of April, 2009.

WHEREAS, ENYC is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with its principal business office located in Boulder, Colorado;

No fractional shares shall be issued.

At the close of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that WCE shareholders will be issued restricted common shares of ENYC in a percentage equal to ninety one and 03/100 percent (91.03%) of the total number of shares of ENYC outstanding after the closing.
