PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In this prospectus, unless otherwise noted, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Blue Earth, Inc., and its subsidiaries, Blue Earth Tech, Inc., Blue Earth Energy Management Services, Inc, Blue Earth Energy Management, Inc, Castrovilla, Inc., Xnergy, Inc., Blue Earth Finance, Inc., Blue Earth Energy Partners, LLC, HVAC Controls and Specialties Inc., Ecolegacy Gas & Power, LLC, IPS Power Engineering, Inc., Intelligent Power Inc., Millennium Power Solutions, LLC, as well as Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc., our former name.


The Company

Overview


Blue Earth, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a comprehensive provider of energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy solutions for small and medium sized commercial and industrial facilities. The Company also owns, manages and operates independent power generation systems constructed in conjunction with these services. Our turnkey energy solutions enable our customers to reduce or stabilize their energy related expenditures and lessen the impact of their energy use on the environment. Our services include the development, engineering, construction, operation and maintenance and in some cases, financing of small and medium scale alternative/renewable energy power plants including solar photovoltaic (PV), Combined Heat and Power (“CHP”) or on-site cogeneration and fuel cells.


We build, own, operate and/or sell the power plants or build them for the customer to own. As we continue to expand our core energy services business to become an independent power producer we intend to sell the electricity, hot water, heat and cooling generated by the power plants that we own under long-term power purchase agreements to utilities, and long-term take or pay contracts to our industrial customers. The Company also finances alternative and renewable energy projects through industry relationships.


We provide our customers with a variety of measures to improve the efficiency of their facilities’ energy consumption by designing, developing, engineering, installing, operating, maintaining and monitoring their major building systems, including refrigeration, lighting and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.


We offer our utility customers, energy efficiency programs, such as our proprietary Keep Your Cool refrigeration program, adopted by 19 utilities, targeted to their small and medium-sized commercial customers. Our utility based, rate-payer incentive programs, are designed to help commercial businesses use less energy through the upgrade of existing equipment with new, more efficient equipment that helps reduce demand for electricity, lower energy bills and also enable utilities to satisfy state-mandated energy reduction goals. In addition to designing and administering the utility program, we perform the technical audits, sell the program to the commercial customer and in most instances, provide the installation of the equipment.


We have continued to expand our comprehensive energy solutions business through strategic acquisitions of companies that have been providing energy solutions to an established customer base or have developed a proprietary technology that can be utilized by our customers to improve equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs and provide a better overall operating environment. The acquired companies operational activities are being conducted through the following five business units: Blue Earth Solar; Blue Earth CHP; Blue Earth EMS; Blue Earth PPS and Blue Earth EPS. The primary strategic objective for the respective business units is to establish and build brand awareness about the comprehensive energy solutions provided by the Company to its existing and future customers.   Each of the Company’s five business units is generating revenue, although Blue Earth PPS and Blue Earth CHP have limited revenues, as described below.


Proprietary technologies owned by the Company are the PeakPower® System (PPS) and the UPStealth System. The PeakPower® System is a patented demand response, cloud based technology, that allows remote, wireless monitoring of refrigeration units, lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning in thousands of facilities such as super markets and food processing, restaurants and C-stores, drug and discount stores.   Peak power currently has a limited number of energy management systems operational in grocery stores.  Revenues are expected to ramp up commencing in mid 2014, as the Company is making some system changes before a major commercial roll out in 2014. The technology enables the Company’s business unit, Blue Earth PPS, to provide energy monitoring and control solutions with real-time decision support to protect our customers’ assets by preventing costly equipment failures and food product losses. Our PeakPower® System also serves as a platform to enter into long-term services agreements that allow most types of refrigeration equipment failures to be predicted, thereby enabling preventive servicing based on need rather than periodic, scheduled and costly service calls.

The patent pending UPStealth™ energy power solution (EPS) Management believes, based on its knowledge of the industry, is the only energy efficient, intelligent digital battery backup management system that was designed to power signalized intersections during loss of utility power. UPStealth is designed as an alternative to lead-acid battery backup systems, enabling the Company’s business unit, Blue Earth EPS, to provide its customers with an environmentally friendly product that is completely recyclable with no issues of hazardous out-gassing, corrosion, flammable or explosive characteristics.  The UPStealth™ battery backup management system can be formed in various configurations that allow the intelligent battery to bend around corners and fit into spaces that cannot be accessed by traditional battery backup systems. Compared to lead-acid battery backup systems, our innovative UPStealth™ energy power solution’s cost of ownership is less, requires less maintenance, performs several years longer, and eliminates costly hazardous disposal issues. We also offer a finance program, which allows cities and municipalities to replace existing systems without capital expenditures.


There are several other market verticals where both our proprietary technologies can be applied, separately, or in combination, as a viable, cost effect solution. Examples include: services for data centers, oil and natural gas wells, remote cell towers, risk management services, and demand response systems to decrease energy usage during peak load pricing periods charged by utilities.


As of September 30, 2013, we had cash on hand of $1,933,140.  We subsequently raised approximately $12,000,000 (including $1,600,000 of promissory notes) from the exercise of 4,029,154 Class A Warrants.  Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. We have negative cash flows from operations of $9,852,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $5,528,856 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  We incurred a loss from operations of $12,285,522 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $9,607,134 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our accumulated deficit was $48,407,222 as of September 30, 2013.


In order to fulfill our business plan and carry out our corporate strategy discussed below, we will need additional capital resources.  Historically, we have funded operations from the exercise of Class A warrants and equity and debt financing.  However, we expect to fund much of our future growth by seeking project financing through a combination of debt and equity financings.  However, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to fund our business operations long enough to achieve profitably. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to scale back our operations.


Corporate Strategy


Key components to our corporate strategy include the following:


Our primary focus in the near term is expected to be organic growth within our combined heat and power (CHP), engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and solar energy efficiency (EE) technology business units; although we continue to evaluate and consider strategic acquisition opportunities. Our organic growth focus in each of these areas is summarized as follows.


1)

CHP or cogeneration:  Our business model is to construct and own, on site, CHP or cogeneration systems, selling the thermal power to the customer and the electricity to the customer and the utility grid under long term power purchase agreements (PPA). We have targeted large companies within the food-processing sector, where our team has initial agreements and excellent relationships.  The PPA agreements with our customers will be on a take or pay basis at a guaranteed discount rate from what they currently pay to their local utility providers. To date, Blue Earth CHP has received limited revenue from engineering work done for a large food processor.  Revenues from the sale of electricity generated, which is the foundation of this business unit, is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2014, when the first power plant is scheduled to be completed. The Company raised adequate equity to build this first power plant through its $12 million warrant exercise in November of 2013. The Company has ordered the long lead time equipment.  Ground breaking is expected to occur in March 2014. The units are modular, so construction is primarily assembly, that is expected to be completed with power revenues commencing in or about August of 2014. Although this is the Company’s first CHP power plant, Blue Earth team members have extensive experience building many, larger, more complex CHP power plants with prior employers.

2)

Solar EPC: Our strategy is to joint venture with under-financed solar developers in order to gain EPC gross margins that exceed the 8-12% common within the industry. Our joint venture agreement with NGP and Talesun enabled us to contract for a $300 million pipeline of solar EPC work with 15-20% gross margins on a cost plus basis. The pipeline is based upon the contracts obtained in the joint-venture when the Company invested $6.5 million (in cash and a note), with the panel manufacturer and solar project developer.  The Company was granted EPC rights for over 150 Mega Watts (MW) of solar projects. The average price per watt is approximately $2.20, which translates to $330 M of contractually committed solar EPC revenue.

3)

EE/Technology: Our historical EE business has focused on installing lighting, refrigeration and HVAC equipment for our customers, which we believe can reduce our customer’s costs by 25-60%.  We based our projected savings on our having provided energy efficiency services to approximately 11,000 small to medium sized commercial customers.  The Company has verified these savings through its monitoring of customer electricity bills and by using energy monitoring equipment that measures energy consumption between the old equipment and the new more effective equipment. We anticipate cross-selling to our larger CHP food processors customers. Our two recent technology acquisitions provide us proprietary intelligent battery technology and low costs, cloud based energy management systems that are expected to give us a competitive edge with our commercial customers. The technology is being added to our proprietary Keep Your Cool™ utility program that has been accepted by 20 West Coast utilities, which is expected to facilitate the roll out of our utility program across the United States.


Expand Scope of Product and Service Offerings. We plan to continue to expand our offerings by including new types of energy efficiency services, products and improvements to existing products based on technological advances in energy savings strategies, equipment and materials. Through the acquisitions of Intelligent Power Inc. and Millennium Power Solutions, LLC we significantly expanded our offerings of proprietary energy management and energy power solutions, which have enhanced our capabilities to offer our customers comprehensive energy savings solutions.


Meet Market Demand for Cost-Effective, Environmentally-Friendly Solutions.  Through our energy efficiency measures and products, we enable customers to conserve energy and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. We plan to continue to focus on providing sustainable energy solutions that will address the growing demand for products and services that create environmental benefits for customers.


Increase Recurring Revenue. We intend to continue to seek opportunities to increase our sources of recurring revenue as we continue to expand our core energy services business to become an independent power producer, or IPP, by selling the electricity, hot water, heat and cooling generated by on-site power plants that we build and own under long term power purchase agreements, or PPA’s.


Utility Programs. We intend to offer utilities energy efficiency programs such as our Keep Your Cool™ refrigeration program and broaden our utility program offerings to their small and medium-sized commercial and industrial customers.


Strategic Acquisitions. We will continue to identify and acquire energy management companies and technologies that will enable us to expand our capabilities in our alternative/renewable energy and energy efficiency products and services offerings.

RISK FACTORS


Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.


Risks Relating to Our Business


Since we have limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.


We completed our initial operating subsidiary acquisition as of January 1, 2011.   Therefore, our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations and your purchase of our securities.  As an early stage company, we are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties faced by developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.


We are dependent upon key personnel whose loss may adversely impact our business.


We rely heavily on the expertise, experience and continued services of Dr. Johnny Thomas, our Chief Executive Officer, as well as other executive employees.  Dr. Thomas is employed under an employment contract at will, and the loss of his services and the inability to replace him and/or attract or retain other key individuals, could materially adversely affect us. If Dr. Thomas or other key executive employees were to leave, we could face substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience.  We do not have key man life insurance policies on our management.


We may need additional financing to execute our business plan and fund operations, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.


As of September 30, 2013, we had $1,933,140 cash on hand.  Since that date we have raised approximately $12 million (including $1,600,000 of promissory notes) through a registered Class A warrant redemption.  On February 22, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement for a $10 million line of credit, of which $1,500,000 was funded on September 11, 2013 and $4,000,000 is currently  available upon our meeting the terms and conditions of the credit facility.   Therefore, our short term liquidity needs have been satisfied and we have sufficient capital to fund our operations for the next 12 months.  However, in view of our business plan we may not be able to execute our business plan and fund business operations long enough to achieve profitability. In such event, we would be forced to scale back our growth strategy and operations.  Our ultimate success depends upon our ability to raise additional capital.  We are pursuing sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financing.  However, we expect to fund much of our growth through project financing by using a combination of debt and equity financing which may not be available when needed.  Future financing through equity investments is likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors than our current investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuance of incentive awards under employee equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations accordingly.


Project development or construction activities may not be successful and proposed projects may not receive required permits or construction may not proceed as planned.

 

The development and construction of our projects involves numerous risks. We may be required to spend significant sums for preliminary engineering, permitting, legal, and other expenses before we can determine whether a project is feasible, economically attractive or capable of being built. Success in developing a particular project is contingent upon, among other things: (i) negotiation of satisfactory engineering, procurement and construction agreements; (ii) receipt of required governmental permits and approvals, including the right to interconnect to the electric grid on economically acceptable terms; (iii) payment of interconnection and other deposits (some of which may be non-refundable); (iv) obtaining construction financing; and (v) timely implementation and satisfactory completion of construction.

 



8




Successful completion of a particular project may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including: (i) delays in obtaining required government permits and approvals with acceptable conditions; (ii) uncertainties relating to land costs for projects; (iii) unforeseen engineering problems; (iv) construction delays and contractor performance shortfalls; (v) work stoppages; (vi) cost over-runs; (vii) equipment and materials supply; (viii) adverse weather conditions; and (ix) environmental and geological conditions.


We may be unable to obtain governmental approvals, property rights and/or financing for the construction, development and operation of our non-regulated energy investments.


Construction, development and operation of energy investments, such as natural gas storage facilities, pipeline transportation systems and solar energy projects, are subject to federal and state regulatory oversight and require certain property rights and approvals, including permits and licenses for such facilities and systems. We or our joint venture partnerships may be unable to obtain, in a cost-efficient or timely manner, all such needed property rights, permits and licenses in order to successfully construct and develop our non-regulated energy facilities and systems. Successful financing of our energy investments requires participation by willing financial institutions and lenders, as well as acquisition of capital at favorable interest rates. If we do not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and financing, our equity investments could be impaired, and such impairment could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


Our investments in clean energy projects are subject to substantial risks.


Commercial and residential solar energy projects, such as those in which we are investing, are relatively new and have been developed through advancement in technologies whose commercial application is limited, and which are unrelated to our core businesses. These projects are dependent upon current regulatory and tax incentives and there is uncertainty about the extent to which such incentives will be available in the future. These projects face the risk that the current regulatory regimes and tax laws may expire or be adversely modified during the life of the projects.


In addition, because these projects depend on technology outside of our expertise, there are risks associated with our ability to develop and manage such projects profitably, including logistical risks and potential delays related to construction, permitting, regulatory approvals, as well as the operational risk that the projects in service will not perform according to expectations due to equipment failure, suboptimal weather conditions or other factors beyond our control. All of the aforementioned risks could reduce the availability of viable solar energy projects for development. Furthermore, at the development or acquisition stage, because of the nascent nature of the renewable energy industry and the limited experience with the relevant technology, our ability to predict actual performance results may be hindered and the projects may not perform as predicted.


The installation of our on-site combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration power plants may be affected by opposition from local utility companies.


Utility policies and regulations in most states are not prepared to accommodate widespread on-site generation. These barriers erected by electric utility companies and unfavorable regulations, where applicable, make it more difficult or uneconomic for us to connect to the customer grid at customer sites and are an impediment to the growth of our business. Development of our on-site CHP or cogeneration business could be adversely affected by any slowdown or reversal in the utility deregulation process or by difficulties in negotiating backup power supply agreements with electric providers located in the different geographic areas of the country where we intend to conduct our business.


The economic viability of our projects depends on the price spread between fuel and electricity thus the volatility of the prices of these components creates risk that our projects will be uneconomic.


The economic viability of on-site CHP or cogeneration projects is dependent upon the price spread between fuel and electricity prices. Volatility of one component of the spread, the cost of natural gas and other fuels such as propane or distillate oil, can be managed by means of future contracts. However, the regional rates charged for both base load and peak electricity services may decline periodically due to excess capacity arising from over-building of utility power plants or recessions in economic activity. Any sustained weakness in electricity prices could significantly limit our market for our CHP or cogeneration on-site energy services.










9




Our solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) growth strategy is dependent upon continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers.

 

Generally, our customers must enter into agreements to finance the construction and purchase of our solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. These structured finance arrangements are complex and rely heavily on the creditworthiness of the customer as well as required returns on investment of the financing companies. Depending on the status of financial markets for solar project funding and general economic conditions overall, financial institutions may be unwilling or unable to finance the cost of construction of the solar PV project. Lack of credit for our customers or restrictions on financial institutions extending such credit will severely limit our ability to grow our revenues. In addition, an increase in interest or lending rates or a reduction in the supply of project debt financing could reduce the number of solar projects that receive financing, making it difficult for our customers to secure the financing necessary to develop, build, purchase or install a solar PV facility on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our EPC services which may limit our growth or reduce our net sales.


If solar power technology is not suitable for widespread adoption or sufficient demand for solar power products does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, our sales would decline and we would be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.


The market for solar power products is emerging and rapidly evolving, and its future success is uncertain. Many factors will influence the widespread adoption of solar power technology and demand for solar power products, including:


-

cost effectiveness of solar power technologies as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy technologies;

-

performance and reliability of solar power products as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy products;

-

capital expenditures by customers that tend to decrease if the U.S. economy slows; and

-

 availability of government subsidies and incentives.


If solar power technology proves unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for solar power products fails to develop sufficiently, we would be unable to generate enough revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. In addition, demand for solar power products in the markets and geographic regions we target may not develop or may develop more slowly than we anticipate.


Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect our operating results.


Costs of compliance with federal, state, local and other foreign existing and future environmental regulations could adversely affect our cash flow and profitability. We will be required to comply with numerous environmental laws and regulations and to obtain numerous governmental permits in connection with energy efficiency products, and we may incur significant additional costs to comply with these requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could be subject to civil or criminal liability, damages and fines. Existing environmental regulations could be revised or reinterpreted and new laws and regulations could be adopted or become applicable to us or our customers, and future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur. These factors may impose additional expense on our operations.


In addition, private lawsuits or enforcement actions by federal, state, and/or foreign regulatory agencies may materially increase our costs. Certain environmental laws make us potentially liable on a joint and several basis for the remediation of contamination at or emanating from properties or facilities which we may acquire that arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. Although we will seek to obtain indemnities against liabilities relating to historical contamination at the facilities we own or operate, we cannot provide any assurance that we will not incur liability relating to the remediation of contamination, including contamination we did not cause.


We may not be able to obtain or maintain, from time to time, all required environmental regulatory approvals. A delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals or failure to obtain and comply with them could adversely affect our business and operating results.


We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.


We are a small company with six (6) full-time employees, including three (3) executive officers, at the parent level and 102 full-time employees on a Company-wide basis, as of November 30, 2013. In addition to prospective employees hired from companies which we may acquire, we will need to expand our employee infrastructure for managerial, operational, financial and other resources.  Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.




10




In order to manage our future growth, we will need to continue to improve our management, operational and financial controls and our reporting systems and procedures. All of these measures will require significant expenditures and will demand the attention of management. If we do not continue to enhance our management personnel and our operational and financial systems and controls in response to growth in our business, we could experience operating inefficiencies that could impair our competitive position and could increase our costs more than we had planned. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.


Our corporate strategy will not be successful if demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions does not develop.


We believe, and our corporate strategy assumes, that the market for energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions will continue to grow, that we will increase our penetration of this market and that our revenue from selling into this market will continue to increase with future acquisitions. If our expectations as to the size of this market and our ability to sell our products and services in this market are not correct, our corporate strategy will be unsuccessful and our business will be harmed.


Certain projects we may undertake for our customers may require significant capital, which our customers or we may finance through third parties, and such financing may not be available to our customers or to us on favorable terms, if at all.


Certain energy efficiency projects are typically financed by third parties.  The significant disruptions in the credit and capital markets in the last several years have made it more difficult for customers to obtain financing on acceptable terms or, in some cases, at all.  Any inability by us or our customers to raise the funds necessary to finance our projects, or any inability by us to obtain a revolving credit facility, could materially harm our business, financial condition and operating results.


Our business may be affected by seasonal trends and construction cycles, and these trends and cycles could have an adverse effect on our operating results.


We expect that our business will be subject to seasonal fluctuations and construction cycles, particularly in climates that experience colder weather during the winter months, such as the northern United States and Canada, or at educational institutions, where large projects are typically carried out during summer months when their facilities are unoccupied. In addition, government customers, many of which have fiscal years that do not coincide with ours, typically follow annual procurement cycles and appropriate funds on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Further, government contracting cycles can be affected by the timing of, and delays in, the legislative process related to government programs and incentives that help drive demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. As a result, our revenue and operating income in the third quarter is expected to be typically higher, and our revenue and operating income in the first quarter is expected to be typically lower, than in other quarters of the year. As a result of such fluctuations, we may occasionally experience declines in revenue or earnings as compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and comparisons of our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful.


Our business depends, in part, on federal, state and local government support for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and a decline in such support could harm our business.


We depend, in part, on government legislation and policies that support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and that enhance the economic feasibility of our energy efficiency services and small-scale renewable energy projects.  Many states offer incentives to offset the cost of solar power systems. These systems can take many forms, including direct rebates, state tax credits, system performance payments and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). Moreover, the federal government currently offers a 30% tax credit for the installation of solar power systems. Businesses may also elect to accelerate the depreciation on their system over five years. Uncertainty about the introduction of, reduction in or elimination of such incentives or delays or interruptions in the implementation of favorable federal or state laws could substantially increase the cost of our systems to our customers, resulting in significant reductions in demand for our services, which would negatively impact our sales.


The U.S. government and several states support potential customers’ investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy through legislation and regulations that authorize and regulate the manner in which certain governmental entities do business with companies like us, encourage or subsidize governmental procurement of our services, provide regulatory, tax and other incentives to others to procure our services and provide us with tax and other incentives that reduce our costs or increase our revenue.  Current market conditions have caused various state, local or federal incentive programs which help drive the economics for these projects to be unexpectedly depleted or substantially changed by the administrators.

For example, U.S. legislation in 1992 authorized federal agencies to enter into energy savings performance contracts (“ESPCs”), such as those that we may enter into with customers at a later date. In 2007, three years after the expiration of the original legislation, new ESPC legislation was enacted without an expiration provision, and in the same year, the President of the United States issued an executive order requiring federal agencies to set goals to reduce energy use and increase renewable energy sources and use. In addition, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) allocated $67 billion to promote clean energy, energy efficiency and advanced vehicles. Additionally, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 instituted the 1603 cash grant program, which may provide cash in lieu of an investment tax credit for eligible renewable energy generation sources for which construction commences prior to the end of 2010 where the project is placed in service by various dates set out in the act. The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), currently provides production tax credits for the generation of electricity from wind projects and from landfill gas fueled power projects, and an investment tax credit or grant in lieu of such tax credits for investments in LFG, wind, biomass and solar power generation projects. Various state and local governments have also implemented similar programs and incentives, including legislation authorizing the procurement of ESPCs.


Prospective customers frequently depend on these programs to help justify the costs associated with, and to finance, energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. If any of these incentives are adversely amended, eliminated or not extended beyond their current expiration dates, or if funding for these incentives is reduced, it could adversely affect our ability to obtain project commitments from new customers. A delay or failure by government agencies to administer, or make procurements under, these programs in a timely and efficient manner could have a material adverse effect on our potential customers’ willingness to enter into project commitments with us.


Changes to tax, energy and environmental laws could reduce our prospective customers’ incentives and mandates to purchase certain kinds of services that we may supply, and could thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.


A significant decline in the fiscal health of federal, state, provincial and local governments could reduce demand for our energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.


Recent significant declines in the fiscal health of federal, state and local governmental entities may make it difficult for them to enter into contracts for our services or to obtain financing necessary to fund such contracts.

  

We are subject to governmental regulation. Compliance with current and future regulatory requirements and procurement of necessary approvals, permits and certificates may result in substantial costs to us.


We are subject to substantial regulation from federal, state and local regulatory authorities. We are required to comply with numerous laws and regulations and to obtain numerous authorizations, permits, approvals and certificates from governmental agencies and tariff rates that the Company can charge its customers, rates of return, the authorized cost of capital, recovery of pipeline replacement and environmental remediation costs and relationships with its affiliates. These agencies regulate various aspects of our business, including customer rates, services and natural gas pipeline operations.


The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) has regulatory authority over certain of our operations. Any Congressional legislation or agency regulation that would alter these or other similar statutory and regulatory structures in a way to significantly raise costs that could not be recovered in rates from customers, would reduce the availability of supply or capacity or that would reduce our competitiveness would negatively impact our earnings. In addition, the U.S. Senate has passed the Pipeline Transportation Safety Improvement Act and if enacted will increase federal regulatory oversight and could also increase administrative costs that may not be recovered in rates from customers, which could have an adverse impact on our earnings.


We cannot predict the impact of any future revisions or changes in interpretations of existing regulations or the adoption of new laws and applicable regulations. Changes in regulations or the imposition of additional regulations could influence our operating environment and may result in substantial costs to us.


Each state is responsible for regulating the sale, installation and interconnection of alternative energy within their state. The construction of power generation projects typically is regulated at the state and provincial levels, and the operation of these projects also may be subject to state and provincial regulation as “utilities.” At the federal level, the ownership, operation, and sale of power generation facilities may be subject to regulation under Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, or PUHCA, the Federal Power Act, or FPA, and Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, or PURPA.

New technologies may prove inappropriate and result in liability to us or may not gain market acceptance by customers.


The solar power industry (and the alternative energy industry, in general) is subject to technological change. Our future success will depend on our ability to appropriately respond to changing technologies and changes in function of products and quality. If we adopt products and technologies that are not attractive to consumers, we may not be successful in capturing or retaining a significant share of our market. In addition, some new technologies are relatively untested and unperfected and may not perform as expected or as desired, in which event our adoption of such products or technologies may cause us to lose money.


Existing regulations, and changes to such regulations, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, which may significantly reduce demand for our products and services.


New government regulations or utility policies pertaining to solar power systems are unpredictable and may result in significant additional expenses or delays and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for solar energy systems and our services. For example, there currently exist metering caps in certain jurisdictions which effectively limit the aggregate amount of power that may be sold by solar power generators into the power grid.


We plan to expand our business in part through future acquisitions, but we may not be able to identify or complete suitable acquisitions.


Acquisitions are a significant part of our growth strategy. We plan to use acquisitions of companies or technologies to expand our project skill-sets and capabilities, expand our geographic markets, add experienced management and increase our product and service offerings. However, we may be unable to implement this growth strategy if we cannot identify suitable acquisition candidates, reach agreement with acquisition targets on acceptable terms or arrange required financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms. In addition, the time and effort involved in attempting to identify acquisition candidates and consummate acquisitions may divert members of our management from the operations of our company.


Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.


If we are successful in consummating acquisitions, those acquisitions could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:


·

the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;

·

we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve market position as planned;

·

we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Companys management, technical, financial and other resources;

·

key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;

·

we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;

·

we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements;

·

our ongoing business and managements attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;

·

we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;

·

we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and

·

We may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.

We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate or profitably manage any acquired business.  In addition, we cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, our continued business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period.  These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.


A drop in the retail price of conventional energy or non-solar alternative energy sources may negatively impact our profitability.


We believe that an end customer’s decision to purchase or install solar power capabilities is primarily driven by the cost and return on investment resulting from solar power systems. Fluctuations in economic and market conditions that affect the prices of conventional and non-solar alternative energy sources, such as decreases in the prices of oil and other fossil fuels, could cause the demand for solar power systems to decline, which would have a negative impact on our profitability. Changes in utility electric rates or net metering policies could also have a negative effect on our business.

 

Failure of third parties to manufacture quality products or provide reliable services in a timely manner could cause delays in the delivery of our services and completion of our projects, which could damage our reputation, have a negative impact on our relationships with our customers and adversely affect our growth.


Our success depends on our ability to provide services and products in a timely manner, which, in part, depends on the ability of third parties to provide us with timely and reliable services and products, such as boilers, chillers, cogeneration systems, PV panels, lighting and other complex components. In providing our services we intend to rely on products that meet our design specifications and components manufactured and supplied by third parties, as well as on services performed by subcontractors.


Warranties provided by third-party suppliers and subcontractors typically limit any direct harm we might experience as a result of our relying on their products and services. However, there can be no assurance that a supplier or subcontractor will be willing or able to fulfill its contractual obligations and make necessary repairs or replace equipment. In addition, these warranties generally expire within one to five years or may be of limited scope or provide limited remedies. If we are unable to avail ourselves of warranty protection, we may incur liability to our customers or additional costs related to the affected products and components, including replacement and installation costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.


Moreover, any delays, malfunctions, inefficiencies or interruptions in these products or services - even if covered by warranties - could adversely affect the quality and performance of our solutions. This could cause us to experience difficulty retaining current customers and attracting new customers, and could harm our brand, reputation and growth. In addition, any significant interruption or delay by our suppliers in the manufacture or delivery of products or services on which we depend could require us to expend considerable time, effort and expense to establish alternate sources for such products and services.

We may need to assume responsibility under customer contracts for factors outside our control, including the risk that fuel prices will increase.


We do not expect to take responsibility under our proposed contracts for a wide variety of factors outside our control. However, we may sometimes need to assume some level of risk and responsibility for certain factors - sometimes only to the extent that variations exceed specified thresholds particularly with contracts for renewable energy projects.  Although we intend to structure our contracts so that our obligation to supply a customer with electricity, for example, does not exceed the quantity produced by the production facility, in some circumstances we may commit to supply a customer with specified minimum quantities based on our projections of the facility’s production capacity. In such circumstances, if we are unable to meet such commitments, we may be required to incur additional costs or face penalties.  Despite measures to mitigate risks under these and other contracts, such steps may not be sufficient to avoid the need to incur increased costs to satisfy our commitments, and such costs could be material. Increased costs that we are unable to pass through to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.


Our business will depend on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete projects.


The success of our business will depend on the skill of our personnel. Accordingly, it is critical that we maintain, and continue to build, a highly experienced and specialized workforce, including engineers, project and construction management, and business development and sales professionals. In addition, our construction projects require a significant amount of trade labor resources, and other skilled workers, as well as certain specialty subcontractor skills.


Competition for personnel, particularly those with expertise in the energy services and renewable energy industries, is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate.


In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing projects in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new projects. Further, any increase in demand for personnel and specialty subcontractors may result in higher costs, causing us to exceed the budget on a project, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and harm our relationships with our customers.


We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our current or future competitors may be able to compete more effectively than we do, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue, growth rates and market share.


Our industry is highly competitive, with many companies of varying size and business models, many of which have their own proprietary technologies, compete for the same business as we do.  Our competitors have longer operating histories and greater resources than us, and could focus their substantial financial resources to develop a competing business model, develop products or services that are more attractive to potential customers than what we offer or convince our potential customers that they should require financing arrangements that would be impractical for smaller companies to offer. Our competitors may also offer energy solutions at prices below cost, devote significant sales forces to compete with us or attempt to recruit our key personnel by increasing compensation, any of which could improve their competitive positions. Any of these competitive factors could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain customers, cause us to lower our prices in order to compete, and reduce our market share and revenue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to effectively compete against our current competitors or additional companies that may enter our markets.


In addition, we may also face competition based on technological developments that reduce demand for electricity, increase power supplies through existing infrastructure or that otherwise compete with our products and services. We also encounter competition in the form of potential customers electing to develop solutions or perform services internally rather than engaging an outside provider such as us.



We may be unable to complete or operate our projects on a profitable basis or as we have committed to our customers.


Development, installation and construction of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, and operation of renewable energy projects, entails many risks, including:







15




·

failure to receive critical components and equipment that meet our design specifications and can be delivered on schedule;

·

failure to obtain all necessary rights to land access and use;

·

failure to receive quality and timely performance of third-party services;

·

increases in the cost of labor, equipment and commodities needed to construct or operate projects;

·

permitting and other regulatory issues, license revocation and changes in legal requirements;

·

shortages of equipment or skilled labor;

·

unforeseen engineering problems;

·

failure of a customer to accept or pay for renewable energy that we supply;

·

weather interferences, catastrophic events including fires, explosions, earthquakes, droughts and acts of terrorism; and accidents involving personal injury or the loss of life;

·

labor disputes and work stoppages;

·

mishandling of hazardous substances and waste; and

·

other events outside of our control.


Any of these factors could give rise to construction delays and construction and other costs in excess of our expectations. This could prevent us from completing construction of projects, cause defaults under financing agreements or under contracts that require completion of project construction by a certain time, cause projects to be unprofitable for us, or otherwise impair our business, financial condition and operating results.


Provisions in government contracts may harm our business, financial condition and operating results.


In the event that we are able to secure contracts with the federal government and its agencies, and with state and local governments, these contracts customarily contain provisions that give the government substantial rights and remedies, many of which are not typically found in commercial contracts, including provisions that allow the government to:


·

terminate existing contracts, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason;

·

reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts;

·

decline to award future contracts if actual or apparent organizational conflicts of interest are discovered, or to impose organizational conflict mitigation measures as a condition of eligibility for an award;

·

suspend or debar the contractor from doing business with the government or a specific government agency; and

·

pursue criminal or civil remedies under the False Claims Act, False Statements Act and similar remedy provisions unique to government contracting.


Generally, government contracts contain provisions permitting unilateral termination or modification, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience. Under general principles of government contracting law, if the government terminates a contract for convenience, the terminated company may recover only its incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, the defaulting company is entitled to recover costs incurred and associated profits on accepted items only and may be liable for excess costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items from another source. The termination payment is designed to compensate us for the cost of construction plus financing costs and profit on the work completed.


In ESPCs for governmental entities, the methodologies for computing energy savings may be less favorable than for non-governmental customers and may be modified during the contract period. In the event we enter into ESPCs, we may be liable for price reductions if the projected savings cannot be substantiated.


In addition to the right of the federal government to terminate its contracts with us, federal government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing approval by Congress of the necessary spending to honor such contracts. Congress often appropriates funds for a program on a September 30 fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Consequently, at the beginning of many major governmental programs, contracts often may not be fully funded, and additional monies are then committed to the contract only if, as and when appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years. If one or more of our government contracts were terminated or reduced, or if appropriations for the funding of one or more of our contracts is delayed or terminated, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.


Government contracts normally contain additional terms and conditions that may increase our costs of doing business, reduce our profits and expose us to liability for failure to comply with these terms and conditions. These include, for example:


·

specialized accounting systems unique to government contracting, which may include mandatory compliance with federal Cost Accounting Standards;

·

mandatory financial audits and potential liability for adjustments in contract prices;

·

public disclosure of contracts, which may include pricing information;



16




·

mandatory socioeconomic compliance requirements, including small business promotion, labor, environmental and U.S. manufacturing requirements; and

·

requirements for maintaining current facility and/or personnel security clearances to access certain government facilities or to maintain certain records, and related industrial security compliance requirements.


Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments.


Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance, warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future.


If the cost of energy generated by traditional sources does not increase, or if it decreases, demand for our services may decline.


Decreases in the costs associated with traditional sources of energy, such as prices for commodities like coal, oil and natural gas, or electricity may reduce demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. Technological progress in traditional forms of electricity generation or the discovery of large new deposits of traditional fuels or international political developments, production and distribution policies of OPEC could reduce the cost of electricity generated from those sources and as a consequence reduce the demand for our solutions. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.


Our activities and operations are subject to numerous health and safety laws and regulations, and if we violate such regulations, we could face penalties and fines.


We are subject to numerous health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we will operate. These laws and regulations require us to obtain and maintain permits and approvals and implement health and safety programs and procedures to control risks associated with our projects. Compliance with those laws and regulations can require us to incur substantial costs. Moreover, if our compliance programs are not successful, we could be subject to penalties or to revocation of our permits, which may require us to curtail or cease operations of the affected projects. Violations of laws, regulations and permit requirements may also result in criminal sanctions or injunctions.


Health and safety laws, regulations and permit requirements may change or become more stringent. Any such changes could require us to incur materially higher costs than we currently have. Our costs of complying with current and future health and safety laws, regulations and permit requirements, and any liabilities, fines or other sanctions resulting from violations of them, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.


Our credit facilities and debt instruments contain financial and operating restrictions that may limit our business activities and our access to credit.


The Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2013 (the Credit Agreement) and effective February 22, 2013, with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (the Lender).  The material terms of the Credit Agreement are as follows:


·

The lender would provide a credit facility of up to $10,000,000 to Blue Earth, secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Blue Earth.

·

The initial tranche of the loan would be in the amount of $1,500,000 (the Initial Loan Draw) and any additional requests for an increase in the revolving credit amount would be subject to the Lenders approval.

·

In connection with Initial Loan Draw, Blue Earth paid the Lender, among other things, $100,000 payable in common stock of Blue Earth, Inc.

·

The Initial Loan Draw was repaid in full in accordance with the Lock Box Agreement that was entered into in conjunction with the Credit Agreement.









17




Subsequently, Blue Earth and the Lender entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2013 (the “First Amendment”).  The material terms of the First Amendment are as follows:


·

The Lender agreed to increase the revolving credit facility amount to $4,000,000, of which $2,500,000 would be funded to Blue Earth (the Second Loan Draw), subject to the conditions of the First Amendment described below.

·

The Second Loan Draw was comprised of two tranches with the initial tranche of $1,500,000 being funded upon the execution and delivery of the First Amendment.  The second tranche would be funded upon the Lender’s approval of certain transaction documents by and among Blue Earth, Inc., New Generation Power, LLC (“NGP”) and Talesun Solar USA, Ltd. (“Talesun”).  To date the second tranche has not been funded.

·

In connection with the Second Loan Draw, Blue Earth paid the Lender $100,000 payable in common stock of Blue Earth, Inc.

·

The repayment of the Second Loan Draw would be paid via the existing Lock Box Agreement described above.


Pursuant to the credit agreement, all of the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ assets, other than excluded and future projects are secured with our senior lender. Provisions in our credit facilities and debt instruments impose restrictions on our and certain of our subsidiaries ability to, among other things:


·

incur additional debt;

·

pay cash dividends and make distributions;

·

make certain investments and acquisitions;

·

guarantee the indebtedness of others or our subsidiaries;

·

redeem or repurchase capital stock;

·

create liens or encumbrances;

·

enter into transactions with affiliates;

·

engage in new lines of business;

·

sell, lease or transfer certain parts of our business or property;

·

incur any obligations for capital expenditures of $100,000 for any single transaction or $200,000 in any fiscal year for existing projects;

·

issue any additional capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; and

·

merge or consolidate.

 

These agreements also contain other customary covenants, including covenants that require us to meet specified financial ratios and financial tests. We may not be able to comply with these covenants in the future. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in the declaration of an event of default and cause us to be unable to borrow under our credit facilities and debt instruments. In addition to preventing additional borrowings under these agreements, an event of default, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, which would require us to pay all amounts outstanding. If an event of default occurs, we may not be able to cure it within any applicable cure period, if at all. If the maturity of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available for repayment or we may not have the ability to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the accelerated indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”


If our subsidiaries default on their obligations under their debt instruments, we may need to make payments to lenders to prevent foreclosure on the collateral securing the debt.


We have formed subsidiaries to own and operate acquired companies.  These subsidiaries may incur various types of debt.  This debt may be structured as non-recourse debt, which means it is repayable solely from the revenue of the subsidiary and is secured by such subsidiary’s assets, and a pledge of our equity interests in such subsidiary. Although subsidiary debt is typically non-recourse to the Company, if a subsidiary of ours defaults on such obligations, then we may from time to time determine to provide financial support to the subsidiary in order to avoid the adverse consequences of a default. In the event a subsidiary defaults on its indebtedness, its creditors may foreclose on the collateral securing the indebtedness, which may result in our losing our ownership interest in the subsidiary. The loss of our ownership interest in a subsidiary or some or all of a subsidiary’s assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.










18




Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.


Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Concerns over energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, and the real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and a global recession. Domestic and international equity markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on our business. In the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global credit crisis, we could incur significant losses.


We may be exposed to product liability risks.


The Company’s operations may expose it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the sale of energy efficiency products.  There can be no assurance that product liability claims will not be asserted against the Company.  We plan to have product liability insurance covering sales of any prospective products, which we believe will be adequate to cover any product liability exposure we may have.  However, product liability insurance is expensive and we may be unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses. An individual may bring a product liability claim against us if one of our products causes, or is claimed to have caused, an injury or is found to be unsuitable for consumer use. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in:


·

liabilities that substantially exceed our product liability insurance, which we would then be required to pay from other sources, if available;

·

an increase of our product liability insurance rates or the inability to maintain insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, or at all;

·

damage to our reputation and the reputation of our products, resulting in lower sales;

·

regulatory investigations that could require costly recalls or product modifications;

·

litigation costs; and

·

the diversion of managements attention from managing our business.


A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.


We may be sued by third parties who claim that our prospective products infringe on their intellectual property rights.


We may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our prospective products or activities infringe on the intellectual property rights of others or that the we have misappropriated the trade secrets of others.  Any litigation or claims against the Company, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, could place a significant strain on our financial and managerial resources, and could harm the Company’s reputation.  In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company or cause us to curtail or cease its operations:


·

The sale of a product material to our future operations; or

·

Obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which could also be costly or may not be available on reasonable terms.


We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.


Upon completion of any acquisitions by the Company, we may be subject to claims that our acquired companies and their employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors.  Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims.  Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.  If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel.  A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.


Rapid technological change could make any products that the Company sells obsolete.


Energy efficiency technologies have undergone rapid and significant change and the Company expects that they will continue to do so.  Any products or technologies that we may acquire may become obsolete or uneconomical before the Company recovers the purchase price incurred in connection with their acquisition.



19




The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.


We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition, proxy statement, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012, were not effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we hired additional financial reporting, internal controls and other financial personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.  Specifically, we added a CFO and controller and developed appropriate policies and procedures which added to our general and administrative expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company diverted management's attention from implementing our growth strategy, which took time away from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. During 2013 our management performed an assessment of our internal controls and determined that our internal controls became effective during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.


Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent account certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be quoted on the OTC QB or our ability to list our shares on any national securities exchange.


If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud.  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.


Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected.  As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital.  We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.


Risks Related to our Securities


Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.


Our stock price may be volatile.


The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:


·

our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions;

·

changes in our industry;

·

competitive pricing pressures;

·

our ability to obtain working capital financing;

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

·

limited public float in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

·

sales of our common stock (particularly following effectiveness of this resale registration statement);

·

operating results that fall below expectations;

·

regulatory developments;

·

economic and other external factors;

·

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and

·

our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies.


In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.


We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.


We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at the time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price increases. The Board of Directors set December 31, 2010 as the record date to distribute one Series A Warrant for every two shares held of record by each shareholder on such date as a result of the spin-off of Genesis Fluid Solutions.  While this warrant distribution is similar to a dividend as no investment decision is necessary on the part of stockholders, it is not a dividend.  


Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, the price may not reflect our value, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.


Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns and firms, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business, and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business, and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of the Company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares.


If an active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there is currently a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms are not willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account.  Many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.  Furthermore, our securities are traded on the OTC QB where it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about these companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.


Our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock,” which would make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.


Our common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenues of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in these securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.


If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issuable upon the effectiveness of a registration statement, upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. On May 2, 2013, the post-effective amendment to our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-181420) was declared effective by the SEC.  An aggregate of 22,083,756 shares of Common Stock including 4,029,154 shares which have already been issued upon exercise of warrants were registered for resale under such registration statement. In addition, the 1,065,000 shares of common stock issued in the 2009 Merger to the former directors and the 6,872,500 shares of common stock issued in our 2009 Private Placement which are currently issued and outstanding, as well as other shares which were prohibited from being sold for a period of 12 months from when the Company lost its former shell status which ended in November, 2010 are all available for resale.


In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC.  An affiliate may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or, if listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange, the average weekly number of shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate without any restriction after they have been held one year.


Because our directors and officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of our other stockholders.


Our directors and executive officers and/or their affiliates beneficially own or control approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock and a larger percentage on a fully diluted basis. In addition, the holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock.  As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence over and control all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders, may vote, including the following actions:

·

to elect or defeat the election of our directors;

·

to amend or prevent amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;

·

to effect or prevent a merger, sale of substantially all assets or other corporate transaction; and

·

to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for vote.


In addition, these persons’ stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.


Exercise of options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock may have a dilutive effect on our common stock.


If the price per share of our common stock at the time of exercise of any warrants, options, or any other convertible securities is in excess of the various exercise or conversion prices of these convertible securities, exercise or conversion of these convertible securities would have a dilutive effect on our common stock. The Company has no plans to issue additional warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share or otherwise below market; however reserves the right to do so when it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders.  As of November 30, 2013, we had outstanding options, warrants and reserved derivative securities, which if exercised would result in the issuance of 32,958,343 shares of Common Stock, consisting (i) outstanding incentive stock options to purchase 1,064,010 shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants issued to Management, consultants and vendors to purchase an aggregate of 14,783,333 shares of common stock, including approximately 6,152,000 warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share; (iii) 740,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 7,400,000 shares of Common Stock; (iv) placement agent warrants to purchase 218,846 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and 57,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share; (v) Class A Warrants to purchase 4,517,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share issued in our Series C Preferred Stock Offering;  (vi) Class B Warrants to purchase 4,029,154 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share; and (vii) 888,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon payment of dividends on Preferred Stock.  Upon exercise of the outstanding 4,517,500 Class A Warrants, warrant holders will receive 4,517,500 Class B Warrants when combined with the outstanding 4,029,154 Class B Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of 8,546,654 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Upon exercise of the outstanding Class B Warrants, warrant holders will receive 8,546,654 Class C Warrants to purchase 8,546,654 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share.  Therefore, an additional 17,093,308 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon full exercise of the Series B and Class C Warrants. The Class B and C Warrants have not been registered for resale under this Registration Statement.  Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock and which result in additional dilution of the existing ownership interests of our common stockholders.



22



Automatic Conversion of Preferred Stock


Each share of Series C Preferred Stock not previously converted by the holder shall be automatically converted by the Company at $1.00 per share upon the first to occur: (i) the fourth anniversary date of the issuance of the Preferred, or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock trades at least $2.18 per share for 60 consecutive calendar days.  In July 2013 the Company automatically converted the remaining Shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock when the Common Stock traded above $2.25 and $2.20 per share, respectively, for 60 consecutive calendar days.


The Company will continue to pay dividends in Common Stock up until the date of conversion.  The shares issuable upon conversion, including accrued interest, shares will be registered with the SEC.  However, there will be dilution to Common Stockholders from the conversion of the Preferred Stock.  In addition, conversions to date, as well as upon automatic conversion by the Company may cause significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock as holders who converted from Preferred Stock resell their Common Stock in the open market


Redemption of Class A warrants.  


The Company may redeem each of the issued and outstanding Series A, B and C Warrants at $.001 per warrant on 20 days’ prior written notice.  On October 7, 2013, the Company issued a notice of redemption for an aggregate of 8,832,126 Class A Warrants included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-181420).  An aggregate of 4,029,154 Class A Warrants were exercised by holders and Standby Purchasers and the balance were redeemed.  


The Company has the option to redeem the remaining 4,517,500 Class A Warrants registered under this registration statement which have been extended until March 1, 2014, without further compensation to the holder other than the payment of the redemption price per warrant: (a) to cause any or all of the warrants which are not properly exercised on or before the redemption date to be assigned to one or more third parties (each, a “Standby Purchaser”), effectively immediately upon the redemption date, for the consideration equal to $.001 per non-exercised warrant payable to the Company, (b) each Standby Purchaser shall have the right to exercise the non-exercised warrants so assigned to such Standby Purchaser through the redemption date; and (c) any Standby Purchaser would be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  Redemption of the warrants could force the holders to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do so, sell the warrants at the then current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the warrants, or to accept the redemption price, which is substantially less than the market value of the warrants at the time of redemption.


In addition, if the warrants are exercised in response to a redemption notice, then dilution could occur from the widespread conversion or exercise of the warrants.  Further, this may cause significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock as holders that elect to convert or exercise their securities may be able to resell the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the warrants in the open market.


Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

 

There may be risks associated with us becoming public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on behalf of our company.


Our certificate of incorporation allows for our board of directors to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could act as an anti-takeover device.


Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock.  On September 28, 2011, the board of directors had authorized the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible on a ten for one basis into common stock and 297,067 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued.  On March 30, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible on a ten for one basis into Common Stock and 283,052 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued.  On March 28, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock convertible on a ten for one basis into Common Stock and subsequently amended our Certificate of Incorporation to provide for 910,000 shares and 903,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued.  Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of series of preferred stock that have greater voting power than our common stock or that are convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.  Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statute require such approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue these shares without stockholder approval subject to approval of the holders of our preferred stock.  The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without any further action by the stockholders.



23




Provisions in our charter documents and Nevada law could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.


Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as provisions of Nevada law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:


·

authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred that could be issued by our Board of Directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;

·

prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and

·

advance notice provisions in connection with stockholder proposals that may prevent or hinder any attempt by our stockholders to bring business to be considered by our stockholders at a meeting or replace our board of directors.

Dividend Policy


We have not declared nor paid any cash dividend on our common stock, and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The decision whether to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be made by our board of directors, in their discretion, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors considers significant.  The Board of Directors set December 31, 2010 as the record date to distribute one Series A Warrant for every two shares held of record by each shareholder on such date as a result of the spin-off of Genesis Fluid Solutions.  While this warrant distribution is similar to a dividend as no investment decision is necessary on the part of stockholders, it is not a dividend.  While this warrant distribution is similar to a dividend as no investment decision is necessary on the part of stockholders, it is not a dividend.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.


Results of Operations


We generate all of our revenues from professional services contracts. The contracts are of three types: construction management, HVAC services and energy efficiency installation. Our customers are billed, according to individual agreements. Revenues from professional services are recognized on a completed-contract basis. Under the completed-contract basis, contract costs are recorded to a deferred asset account and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account during the periods of construction. Costs include direct material, direct labor and subcontract labor. All revenues, costs, and profits are recognized in operations upon completion of the contract. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and final acceptance has been received from the customer. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, we recognize the loss as incurred. We do not manufacture any products. Our cost of sales is comprised of direct labor, parts purchased from third parties and other direct costs incurred in fulfilling the contracts.


Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 (Actual)


Revenues


The Company recognized $2,692,934 of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $1,741,256 in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $951,678 or 55%. The current revenues represent sales from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Xnergy, Inc. ($1,726,623), Castrovilla, Inc. ($796,836) and other entities ($169,475).  The prior year revenues represent sales from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Xnergy, Inc. ($1,075,195) and Castrovilla, Inc. ($666,061). Castrovilla, Inc.’s sales include retrofitting refrigeration equipment with energy management systems and gasket sales.  Xnergy’s sales are from installation of alternative energy systems and installation and maintenance of HVAC systems. Castrovilla’s revenues were affected by a decrease in subsidies for retrofitting equipment. Xnergy’s revenues increased due to the acquisition of contracts to build solar generation projects in California and Hawaii.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit


Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013, were $1,552,448 resulting in a gross profit of $1,140,486 or 42.4% of revenues. Castrovilla had a gross profit of $423,398 or 53.1% compared to $552,766 or 32.0% for Xnergy. By comparison, during 2012 we had a cost of sales of $1,226,090 with a gross profit of $515,166 or 29.6%. Castrovilla had a gross profit of $395,867 or 59.4% compared to $119,299 or 11.1% for Xnergy.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013, Castrovilla had less service sales which have higher margins than in 2012, when the sales were predominately product installation sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 Xnergy had more revenues from the construction of solar projects which have higher margins than it had in 2012 when the sales were predominately HVAC installation sales. 


Operating Expenses


General and Administrative Expenses


General and administrative expenses were $5,397,669 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $2,478,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $2,919,001 or 118%.  In 2013 approximately $770,489 (14.3%) of the expenses were from Castrovilla and $948,737 (17.6%) were from Xnergy. The balance of $3,678,443 (68.1%) for 2013 was corporate administrative expense. Approximately $1,229,768 (22.8%) of the general and administrative expenses was for payroll costs and $2,205,534 (40.9%) was for consulting and professional fees in 2013.




26




In 2012 approximately $562,087 (22.7%) of the expenses were from Castrovilla and $731,755 (29.5%) were from Xnergy. The balance of $1,184,826 (47.8%) for 2012 was corporate administrative expense. Approximately $906,234 (36.6%) of the general and administrative expenses was for payroll costs and $285,462 (11.5%) was for professional fees in 2012.


In 2013, general and administrative expenses include stock compensation expense of $2,699,367 (50.0%) compared to $576,285 (23.2%) in 2012. We recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $696,892  in 2013 compared to $614,272 in 2012. The increase was due to the amortization of the purchase price of Millennium Power Solutions  and Intelligent Power which were purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2013.


We expect our costs for personnel, consultants and other operating expenses to increase as we implement our business plan. Thus, our general and administrative expenses are likely to increase significantly in future reporting periods.

 

Other Income (Expense)


Total other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $(113,887) compared to $944,125 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to loss of $-0-  due to the change in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability in 2013 compared to a gain of $975,263 in 2012.  The fair value was recalculated quarterly based primarily on the remaining term of the warrants, which expired on December 31, 2012 and stock price volatility.  Our interest expense increased to $114,409 in 2013 compared to $31,136 in 2012 due to borrowings of related party notes payable and a line of credit.

 

Net Loss


Net loss was $5,097,962 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with a net loss of $1,633,649 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $3,464,313.  The increase is attributable primarily to the warrants issued to recently hired management personnel. The net loss attributed to common shareholders was $6,465,372 in 2013 compared to $1,877,470 in 2012 due to the dividends accrued on the Series C preferred stock and paid in common shares on the converted Series B preferred stock.  The net loss translates to $0.11 per share in 2013 compared to $0.09 in 2012.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 (Actual)


Revenues


The Company recognized $8,770,974 of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $5,395,232 in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $3,375,742 or 62.6%.  The current year’s revenues represent sales from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Xnergy, Inc.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011


We acquired Xnergy, Inc. effective September 7, 2011. The following Managements’ Discussion and Analysis is prepared to provide an understanding of the Company’s business activities. We have also provided pro forma numbers as though the acquisitions were effective January 1, 2011 so that the numbers are comparable.


Revenues


We recognized $9,966,073 revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $5,315,664 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Revenue represents sales from our, wholly-owned subsidiaries Castrovilla, whose sales include retrofitting refrigeration equipment with energy management systems and gasket sales, HVAC Controls & Specialties, Inc. whose sales include the installation and management of heating and air conditioning systems and from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Xnergy, Inc. which provides a wide range of energy solutions, including specialized mechanical engineering and the design, construction and implementation of energy savings products. During 2012, Castrovilla’s sales ($3,444,821) for the twelve months accounted for 34.6% of total revenues, while Xnergy’s sales accounted for 50.4% ($5,022,144) and HVAC’s sales accounted for 15.0% ($1,499,108).

We operate in three business segments: management and construction, HVAC services and energy efficiency. Our subsidiaries operate in these business segments with varying ratios of revenues. 2012 management and construction revenues increased to $5,022,144 from $405,060 in 2011. The increase was due to the fulfillment of new contracts of solar energy projects in California. In 2012 HVAC services revenues increased to $1,499,108 from $1,052,588 in 2011 due to the expansion of operations in Idaho and California. Energy efficiency revenues declined to $3,444,821 in 2012 from $3,858,020 in 2011 because we were unable to finance the equipment needed to provide these services to our customers. Our corporate wide decision was to funnel our resources to the solar energy projects and away from the energy efficiency projects as the turnover of capital is much quicker. HVAC services requires little capital and grows from marketing efforts.


Pro Forma Revenues


We recognized $9,966,073 revenue for the twelve months ended December 31 2012, as compared to pro forma $8,682,109 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

HVAC and Xnergy sales for the twelve months increased by 35% to $6,521,252 (from $4,824,089), Castrovilla’s sales for the twelve months decreased by 11%, (from $3,858,020 to $3,444,821). The increase in Xnergy sales was the direct result of allocating most of Xnergy’s resources to development of a pipeline of solar and alternative energy construction projects. Now that management has secured project finance, Xnergy’s revenues in 2013 should exceed 2012 revenues.


Cost of Sales and Gross Profit


Cost of sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 were $6,383,645, compared to $2,838,277, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, resulting in a gross profit of $3,582,428, or 35.9% of revenues.

The increase in working capital was the result of our positive cash flow from financing activities.


Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from the sales of our equity securities. In 2012 and 2011, we completed a private placement of preferred stock and warrants of $2,000,000 and an additional $10,704,288 as of September 30, 2013.  We have a line of credit for $10,000,000 of which $4,000,000 is available and we are currently using $1,500,000 to meet our cash needs.  


We are seeking additional equity and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company raised approximately $12 million (including $1,600,000 payable through promissory notes) in equity capital through the exercise of approximately four million registered Class A warrants at $3 per share.  The primary use of the capital raise will be to provide the equity component of project financing of approximately $130 million for up to seven initial combined heat and power (“CHP”) projects for a substantial international customer.  


The Company is negotiating with alternative financing services for a combination of equity and debt financing.  Agreements with these types of companies would likely include financing and services that can provide the project costs.  The Company has non-binding term sheets from an international bank and mezzanine debt providers that would result in 8% equity and 92% project finance debt for those seven power plants.  While there can be no assurance the Company will be able to secure needed financing, Management believes it will be able to select the financing package needed to insure that all seven projects can be completed in the third quarter of 2014 through the first quarter of 2015.  Furthermore, any additional equity or convertible debt financing will be dilutive to existing shareholders and may involve preferential rights over common shareholders. Debt financing, with or without equity conversion features, may involve restrictive covenants.

Critical Accounting Estimates


Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to valuation of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, those related to the estimates of depreciable lives and valuation of property and equipment, valuation of derivatives, valuation of payroll tax contingencies, valuation of share-based payments, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2012 compared with December 31, 2011


Net cash used in operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”) totaled $5,539,044 which resulted primarily from the operating expenses associated with the parent company related to carrying out our business plan. In addition to a net loss of $9,607,134, the Company realized a decrease in the warrant derivative liability of $2,037,325 an increase in accounts receivable and billings in excess of costs of $2,528,555 and an increase in construction in progress and prepaid expenses and deposits totaling $705,705. These decreases were partially offset by common stock and options issued for services totaling at $4,307,594 and $2,531,773 of depreciation and amortization expense.


Net cash used in continuing operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $4,146,079 which resulted primarily from the operating expenses associated with the parent company related to carrying out our business plan. In addition to a net loss of $14,108,343, the Company incurred an increase in the warrant derivative liability of $749,166 an increase in inventory of $347,174 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $391,958 that was partially offset by common stock, options and warrants issued for services expensed at $1,201,602 and $7,809,893, respectively, and $1,209,769 of depreciation and amortization expense.


No cash was used for investing activities in 2012. Net cash used in investing activities during Fiscal 2011 totaled $1,420,752 and resulted from the purchase of Xnergy and Castrovilla for $1,185,392, $100,000 for the purchase of the SwitchGenie license and $135,360 for the purchases of property and equipment.


Net cash provided by financing activities during Fiscal 2012 totaled $5,670,945 and resulted from $3,598,388 of proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, $1,605,000 of cash from related party loans and $1,208,008 from notes payable. These proceeds were offset, in part, by payments on notes payable of $825,785 and related party loans of $6,614.


Net cash provided by financing activities during Fiscal 2011 totaled $2,193,843 and resulted from $2,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, $1,800,978 of cash in the new subsidiaries offset, in part, by payments on notes payable of $1,629,231.


At December 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $676,317 including $659,009 in cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $3,515,571 including $527,108 in cash. The decrease in working capital was the result of the assumption of the negative working capital of Xnergy.














33




Revenues from Castrovilla commenced on January 1, 2011 and from Xnergy on September 1, 2011. We anticipate our revenue generating activities to continue and even increase as we seek and make acquisitions. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern irrespective of our recurring losses, accumulated deficits and negative cash flows from operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate profits and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from lenders, where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty of our meeting these goals, and our efforts to continue as a going concern may not prove successful. Nonetheless, the Company expects that it has sufficient cash and borrowing capacity to meet its working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from the sales of our equity securities. We may seek additional equity and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan. From September 2011 through December 31, 2011, we completed a private placement of Preferred Stock and warrants of $5,598,388. On February 22, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement with a $10 million line of credit of which $1,500,000 was funded on February 22, 2013 and was repaid in June 2013. It is reasonably possible that we will not be able to obtain sufficient financing to continue operations beyond the next 12 months. Furthermore, any additional equity or convertible debt financing will be dilutive to existing shareholders and may involve preferential rights over common shareholders. Debt financing, with or without equity conversion features, may involve restrictive covenants.


Related Party Transactions


No related party transactions had a material impact on our operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates


Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

Accounts Receivable


The Company records accounts receivable related to its construction contracts based on billings or on amounts due under the contractual terms. Accounts receivable throughout the year may decrease based on payments received, credits for change orders, or back charges incurred.


Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, economic conditions, and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Revenue Recognition


The Company generates revenues from professional services contracts. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements. Revenues from professional services are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” Under the completed-contract basis, contract costs are recorded to a deferred asset account and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account during the periods of construction. Costs include direct material, direct labor and subcontract labor. All revenues, costs, and profits are recognized in operations upon completion of the contract. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and final acceptance has been received from the customer. Corporate general and administrative expenses are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as incurred.


For uncompleted contracts, the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) in excess of the deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) is classified under current assets as Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) in excess of the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) is classified under current liabilities as Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts. Contract retentions are included in accounts receivable.


Income Taxes


The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A liability (including interest if applicable) is established in the consolidated financial statements to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Applicable interest is included as a component of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

BUSINESS


Corporate History


On October 30, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “2009 Merger”) with Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd. (“GFS”), a privately held Colorado corporation and upon closing of the transaction GFS, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which changed its name to Genesis and the Company succeeded to the business of GFS as its sole line of business.  GFS began operations in 1994 and is engaged in the design and development of water restoration and water remediation technology and equipment for the environmental, mining and paper industries.


As of August 31, 2010, Genesis completed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Buyers who signed the SPA, including the then Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to purchase from the Company on or before August 31, 2010, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of GFS then its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “GFS Spin-off”).  GFS had not generated sufficient revenues or earnings as a result of its activities.  See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” for the terms of the GSF Spin-Off.”


Effective October 21, 2010, Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“Genesis”) an operating Delaware corporation formed on March 30, 2007 under the name Cherry Tankers, Inc. merged with and into Blue Earth Inc., a Nevada corporation formed on October 6, 2010, solely as a reincorporation and name change.


Effective January 1, 2011, Blue Earth acquired Castrovilla, Inc. based in Mountain View California which manufactures, sells and installs commercial refrigeration and freezer gaskets and sells and installs motors and controls to approximately 5,400 small commercial businesses operating under our Blue Earth EMS division.  See “Castrovilla Acquisition” below.


On September 7, 2011, Blue Earth acquired Xnergy, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary HVAC Controls & Specialties, Inc., a Carlsbad, California based energy services company.  Simultaneously, the Company purchased ecoLegacy, LLC, which serves as a financing vehicle for Xnergy.  Xnergy, operating under our Blue Earth solar division, provides a broad range of comprehensive energy solutions including the specialized mechanical engineering, the design, construction and implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure outsourcing, power generation and energy supply and risk management.  Xnergy also provides comprehensive maintenance and service programs, including every aspect of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), mechanical systems for design-build to repair and retrofit services. See “Xnergy Acquisition” below.

 

Effective January 24, 2014, the Company sold HVAC Controls and Specialties to its former owner who was its primary manager during the Company’s ownership of such subsidiary The HVAC business unit was geographically isolated from the remainder of the energy efficiency and technology business units and was not expected to make significant contributions to the revenue growth of the Company as the larger projects of Blue Earth CHP and Blue Earth Solar units ramp up. The purchase price is $160,000, consisting of $70,000 of forgiveness of debt to buyer and buyer’s promissory note to the Company for $90,000. The note bears interest at 6% per annum. It is payable in monthly payments of $1,757.10 over a five (5) year period, due March 1, 2019.


Blue Earth entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July 26, 2012, with White Horse Energy, LLC for the Company to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in Waianae PV-02, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company which is the owner of certain rights to construct an approximately 497 kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system in Waianae, Hawaii.  Construction began in the third quarter of 2012 and when connected to the grid in Hawaii will be owned and operated by the Company as part of its expansion of its core business to become an independent power producer.  On August 3, 2012, Blue Earth announced it acquired the exclusive right to construct seven different solar PV projects totaling approximately 3.5 megawatt DC in Hawaii.  These projects are located on the island of Oahu and are primarily ground mount solar systems.  See “Hawaii Solar Energy Acquisitions” below.


The construction of the Sunvalley solar PV projects located in California, began in the third quarter of 2012 and are completed and now Company owned.   The Sunvalley Solar projects have signed engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) agreements with the owners of the businesses for each of the respective construction sites. All of the customers have agreed to assign to the Company cash grants they receive for placing in service certain renewable energy projects under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  These utility incentives are an inducement for the utilities’ customers to buy energy efficient products by providing sales tax exemptions, credits or rebates on qualified products.  All of the projects are 1603 Grant eligible.  Based on a seven (7) year anticipated revenue stream from these projects and the above-described tax grants, Management has valued these projects at approximately $4 million.


On July 15, 2013, Blue Earth acquired IPS Power Engineering Inc. (“IPS”) an EPCM company (engineering, procurement construction and management) and an affiliated renewable energy company that specializes in the combined heat and power (“CHP”) alternative energy space operating under our Blue Earth CHP division.   IPS will enable the Company to become a significant independent power producer.  IPS plans to initially build seven power plants and sell the thermal and electric power to a large customer and the local utilities through long-term power purchase agreements.  See “IPS Acquisition” below.


On July 24, 2013 Blue Earth acquired Intelligent Power Inc. (“IP”) with patented demand response, cloud based technology, which allows remote, wireless monitoring of refrigeration units, lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning in thousands of facilities, such as, super markets, and food processing, restaurants and C-stores, drug and discount Stores.  IP’s innovative PeakPower® System is a turnkey solution that monitors and controls energy and most of the equipment within the store operating under our Blue Earth PPS division.  See “Intelligent Power Acquisition” below.



36




On August 23, 2013, Blue Earth acquired Millennium Power Solutions (“MPS”), an intelligent digital battery technology company.  MPS designs and manufactures intelligent, digital, rechargeable battery products and backup systems with twice the energy of lead acid batteries in a smaller space operating under our Blue Earth EPS division.  The environmentally friendly product is completely recyclable with no issues of hazardous out-gassing, corrosion, flammable or explosive characteristics.  See “Millennium Power Solutions Acquisition” below.


As described above, the acquired companies operational activities are being conducted through the following five divisions:  Blue Earth EMS; Blue Earth Solar; Blue Earth CHP; Blue Earth PPS, and Blue Earth EPS. The primary strategic objective for the respective divisions or business units is to build brand awareness about our comprehensive energy solutions provided by the Company to its current and future customers.


Management also intends to accelerate introduction of our PeakPower® energy demand management system and the UPStealth™ digital battery backup system by offering and installing them through energy management service and distribution companies, which have an established base of customers at the local, state, regional and national levels. In order to accelerate product introduction, management expects to enter into varying types of agreements with these energy management service and distribution companies, including joint development, shared revenue, private label, licensing and  acquisition agreements, as may be appropriate, for each company and geographic territory.


Management has also identified several energy management and energy management service companies that have been successfully operating in the small and medium-sized commercial and industrial business segment of the energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy sectors. These energy service companies specialize in three categories that address small commercial businesses energy efficiency needs:   lighting, refrigeration and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The targeted acquisition candidates currently provide energy efficiency retrofit services to the small commercial and medium-sized businesses space.  Management believes that these companies are ideal candidates from which to build a nationwide distribution, installation and service network through a combination of joint venture/associate relationships and/or acquisitions.


We generate all of our revenues from professional services contracts. The contracts are of three types: construction management, HVAC services and energy efficiency installation. Our customers are billed, according to individual agreements. Revenues from professional services are recognized on a completed-contract basis. Under the completed-contract basis, contract costs are recorded to a deferred asset account and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account during the periods of construction. Costs include direct material, direct labor and subcontract labor. All revenues, costs, and profits are recognized in operations upon completion of the contract. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and final acceptance has been received from the customer. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, we recognize the loss as incurred. We do not manufacture any products. Our cost of sales is comprised of direct labor, parts purchased from third parties and other direct costs incurred in fulfilling the contracts.


Corporate Strategy


Our strategic objective is to provide our customers with turnkey energy solutions and help them identify and maintain low cost or even no cost savings opportunities to reduce or stabilize their energy related expenditures and lessen the impact of their energy use on the environment.


Key components to our corporate strategy include the following:


Our primary focus in the near term is expected to be organic growth within our combined heat and power (CHP), solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solar and energy efficiency (EE)/technology business units; although we continue to evaluate and consider strategic acquisition opportunities. Our organic growth focus in each of these areas is summarized as follows.


1)

CHP or cogeneration:  Our business model is to construct and own, on site, CHP or cogeneration systems, selling the thermal power to the customer and the electricity to the customer and the utility grid under long term power purchase agreements (PPA). We have targeted large companies within the food-processing sector, where our team has initial agreements and excellent relationships.  The PPA agreements with our customers will be on a take or pay basis at a guaranteed discount rate from what they currently pay to their local utility providers. To date, Blue Earth CHP has received limited revenue from engineering work done for a large food processor.  Revenues from the sale of electricity generated, which is the foundation of this business unit, is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2014, when the first power plant is scheduled to be completed. The Company raised adequate equity to build this first power plant through its $12 million warrant exercise in November of 2013. The Company has ordered the long lead time equipment.  Ground breaking is expected to occur in March 2014. The units are modular, so construction is primarily assembly, that is expected to be completed with power revenues commencing in or about August of 2014. Although this is the Company’s first CHP power plant, Blue Earth team members have extensive experience building many, larger, more complex CHP power plants with prior employers.



37




2)

Solar EPC: Our strategy is to joint venture with under-financed solar developers in order to gain EPC gross margins that exceed the 8-12% common within the industry. Our joint venture agreement with NGP and Talesun enabled us to contract for a $300 million pipeline of solar EPC work with 15-20% gross margins on a cost plus basis. The pipeline is based upon the contracts obtained in the joint-venture when the Company invested $6.5 million (in cash and a note), with the panel manufacturer and solar project developer.  The Company was granted EPC rights for over 150 megawatt (MW) of solar projects. The average price per watt is $2.20, which translates to $330 M of contractually committed solar EPC revenue. 


3)

EE/Technology: Our historical EE business has focused on installing lighting, refrigeration and HVAC equipment for our customers, which we believe can reduce our customer’s costs by 25-60%.  We based our projected savings on our having provided energy efficiency services to approximately 11,000 small to medium sized commercial customers.  The Company has verified these savings through its monitoring of customer electricity bills and by using energy monitoring equipment that measures energy consumption between the old equipment and the new more effective equipment.  We anticipate cross-selling to our larger CHP food processors customers. Our two recent technology acquisitions provide us proprietary intelligent battery technology and low costs, cloud based energy management systems that are expected to give us a competitive edge with our commercial customers. The technology is being added to our proprietary Keep Your Cool™ utility program that has been accepted by 20 West Coast utilities, which is expected to facilitate the roll out of our utility program across the United States.


Expand Scope of Product and Service Offerings. We plan to continue to expand our offerings by including new types of energy efficiency services, products and improvements to existing products based on technological advances in energy savings strategies, equipment and materials. Through the acquisitions of Intelligent Power Inc. and Millennium Power Solutions, LLC we significantly expanded our offerings of proprietary energy management and energy power solutions, which have enhanced our capabilities to offer our customers comprehensive energy savings solutions.


Meet Market Demand for Cost-Effective, Environmentally-Friendly Solutions.  Through our energy efficiency measures and products, we enable customers to conserve energy and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. We plan to continue to focus on providing sustainable energy solutions that will address the growing demand for products and services that create environmental benefits for customers.


Increase Recurring Revenue. We intend to continue to seek opportunities to increase our sources of recurring revenue as we continue to expand our core energy services business to become an independent power producer, or IPP, by selling the electricity, hot water, heat and cooling generated by on-site power plants that we build and own under long term power purchase agreements, or PPA’s.


Utility Programs. We intend to offer utilities energy efficiency programs such as our Keep Your Cool™ refrigeration program and broaden our utility program offerings to their small and medium-sized commercial and industrial customers.


Strategic Acquisitions. We will continue to identify and acquire energy management companies and technologies that will enable us to expand our capabilities in our alternative/renewable energy and energy efficiency products and services offerings.


Industry Overview


The market for energy efficiency services has grown significantly, driven largely by rising and volatile energy prices, advances in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, governmental support for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs and growing customer awareness of energy and environmental issues.  End-users, utilities and governmental agencies are increasingly viewing energy efficiency measures as a cost-effective solution for saving energy, renewing aging facilities and reducing harmful emissions.


The clean-tech industry is a multi-billion global industry comprising several market sectors as follows: energy efficiency, including green building; water and wastewater; recycling and waste; LED lighting; energy storage; alternative energies and renewables; batteries/storage; smart grid electrical distribution system; alternative transport; and various green business, research and financial services.


According to a “Clean Energy Trends 2013” report by Clean Edge, a Clean-Tech market authority, the fundamental global economic drivers for clean technology remain largely intact. Intensifying resource constraints (everything from freshwater to energy feedstocks) cannot be ignored, especially with a global population exceeding 7 billion. In the aftermath of unprecedented climate interruption in the U.S. and abroad, resiliency and adaptation are becoming critical business and policy drivers as organizations scramble to meet a literally changing landscape. In the U.S. President Obama has signaled a strong commitment to expanding clean energy and energy efficiency in his second term calling for a doubling of renewable power by 2020.




38




We are a comprehensive provider of energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy solutions for small and medium-sized commercial and industrial facilities. Our turnkey energy solutions enable our customers to reduce or stabilize their energy related expenditures and lessen the impact of their energy usage on the environment.


Corporate Structure


Our corporate structure for energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy related acquisitions is designed to separate the acquired companies into five wholly owned subsidiaries/divisions of the Company, which are operated as separate business units in order to establish and build brand awareness about the comprehensive energy solutions provided by the Company.


Although the five subsidiaries operate independently, they will work in concert to develop, manage, implement and monitor our turnkey energy solutions for small and medium-sized commercial and industrial customers, as well as our specific programs developed for utilities.


We believe that the implementation and execution of our corporate strategy will benefit our shareholders and attract investors who are looking at two bottom lines: financial profitability and social or environmental benefits produced by the Company and its products and services.  


Castrovilla Acquisition and Operations- part of our Blue Earth EMS Division


On January 19, 2011, Castrovilla Energy, Inc., a recently formed California subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Humitech of Northern California, LLC (“Humitech”), a California limited liability company and its related company, Castrovilla, Inc. (collectively, with Humitech, the “Castrovilla Acquisition”) with an Effective Date (as defined) of January 1, 2011.  Founded in 2004, Castrovilla based in Mountain View, California, had approximately $3.4 million in audited revenues in 2010, which is more than twice its 2008 revenues. Castrovilla currently serves approximately 5,400 small commercial businesses in Northern California with its 29 employees as of September 30, 2013. Castrovilla manufactures, sells and installs commercial refrigeration gaskets and strip curtains, which it sells and installs alongside many other energy efficiency products, such as EC motors, LED lights and a variety of control technologies. Castrovilla’s strategy is to sell energy efficiency bundled retrofits (refrigeration, lighting, HVAC), to its customer base. Castrovilla operations are conducted through our Blue Earth EMS division.


Castrovilla participates in several ratepayer funded utility companies energy efficiency rebate programs, both through third-party programs and through its own small commercial business program,     Keep Your Cool.   The  Keep Your Cool  program was created in response to a Request For Proposals put out by a local municipal utility, Silicon Valley Power.  Castrovilla’s proposal was accepted and the program funded several hundred thousand dollars.  This eventually resulted in contracts with over a dozen municipal utilities throughout Northern California to provide turnkey program administration and implementation.  In 2008, Castrovilla acquired the assets of Bay Area Refrigeration, a fully licensed commercial refrigeration contractor that has serviced the San Francisco Bay Area for some 30 years.


Castrovilla has created a business model for sustainably generating and delivering kW and kWh that benefits both the utility and the end user.  Castrovilla provides energy efficiency services to small commercial businesses and delivers custom programs directly to utilities.  The model is both expandable and scalable.  Castrovilla is well positioned in terms of capabilities and relationships with utilities and the energy service companies (ESCO) running the third-party programs.  Castrovilla intends to become a statewide and regional service provider.


Since acquiring Bay Area Refrigeration and the C-38 refrigeration contractor’s license, Castrovilla is qualified to install Electronically Commutated (EC) motors, Evaporator Fan Controllers, Anti-Sweat Heater Controllers and LED Case Lighting and other technologies.  This has made the Company’s retrofit projects far more comprehensive, which is a significant competitive advantage over companies that target only a single measure.  In fact the largest rebate programs require comprehensive retrofits to qualify for rebates.


In addition to energy efficiency retrofits, Castrovilla also has on-going contracts to provide periodic maintenance to numerous restaurants and other refrigerated facilities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.  This includes 24 x 7 emergency refrigeration services.


In mid-2009 Castrovilla opened an online-store (www.bayarearefrigeration.com) to sell manufactured gaskets and strip curtains on both a wholesale and retail basis.  The web site also allows us to distribute refrigeration hardware, plumbing fixtures, kitchen equipment, water filtration, electrical and tools and accessories.







39




On December 30, 2010, Castrovilla Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s subsidiary, Blue Earth Energy Management Services, Inc. (“BEEMS”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan”) with Castrovilla, Inc. and the Stockholders of Castrovilla, Inc. with an Effective Date of January 1, 2011. CEI merged with and into Castrovilla, Inc. on January 21, 2011, which continued its existence as a wholly-owned California subsidiary of BEEMS.  Under the Plan, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,011,905 shares of its Common Stock valued at $1.68 per share, or $1,700,000, to the stockholders of Castrovilla, Inc. in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Castrovilla, Inc.  All of the Company’s shares issued in the Castrovilla Acquisition were subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements, as amended, which have expired.  No payments were made by the Company under the Guaranty.


The purchase price for Humitech, under the Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) was $600,000.  This consisted of the payment of $150,000 of affiliated debt, the issuance of 267,857 shares of restricted Common Stock of Blue Earth, Inc. with an agreed upon value of $508,928, or $1.90 per share and the assumption of approximately $121,000 of trade debt.  


Blue Earth EMS Products and Services


In 2012 and 2011, Castrovilla’s revenues were generated primarily from sales of parts and equipment for refrigeration and LED Case Lighting, refrigeration service, preventative maintenance, consulting, and on-line sales.  Currently, the only materials that are purchased in large quantities are its gasket materials.  All other inventory including EC motors, Anti-Sweat heaters (ASH) controllers, LED Case Lights and other hardware are kept in low quantities or purchased on an as needed basis.


Our Blue Earth EMS division accesses a variety of rebate programs, always choosing the best one for a given project.  The funds that pay for the rebate programs utilized by Castrovilla are the result of California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requirements that all utilities in the State of California collect a “Public Benefits” charge as a percentage of the total bill.  These funds are required to be invested in energy savings programs.  This pool of money measures in the billions of dollars and pays for many programs.  Several of these programs are provided through third-party programs, which are usually administered by ESCO and consulting companies and implemented by refrigeration, lighting, HVAC and solar companies. Each program has different eligibility requirements and/or is available in different areas.  Participating in the programs in its market area allows us to provide the broadest coverage to our customers.   Our financial statements reflect that revenues were negatively impacted during specific time periods. The utility rebate programs are typically three year programs. During the referenced reporting period, the utilities were in the transition period between the previous three year program and the new three year program. This transition period generally results in decreased funding for a few months. However, the new three year utility programs have more dollars allocated than the previous program. Therefore, the negative effects to our revenue were temporary and not material to our business going forward.


Our management believes that the key to sustaining and expanding its program is to take part in or take advantage of a constant stream of technological innovation.  By identifying, evaluating and verifying the best new measures Blue Earth EMS is able to serve its 5,400 small commercial customers and bring in new ones.  In some cases Blue Earth EMS is introduced to customers through our work for other companies, which it can assimilate into Keep Your Cool.


Xnergy Acquisition - part of our Blue Earth Solar Division


On September 7, 2011, Blue Earth, Inc. acquired Xnergy, Inc. (“Xnergy”), a Carlsbad, California based energy services company (the “Xnergy Acquisition”). Xnergy provides a broad range of comprehensive energy solutions including specialized mechanical engineering the design, construction and implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure outsourcing, power generation and energy supply and risk management. Xnergy operations will be conducted through our BE Solar division.  The Solar EPC business unit benefits from tax incentive programs, which are in place through 2016. It is uncertain what the effect of the expiration of these tax incentive programs will have on the solar industry. Costs for solar projects, solar panels and other materials, have declined dramatically over the past few years due to the scale achieved by the solar industry. It is uncertain whether tax incentive programs will be extended and it is uncertain what the effect of the expiration will be if it occurs. Rising costs of power from traditional electric generation combined with economies of scale for solar make it difficult to predict the business consequences in 2017.


In order to maximize the effectiveness of any energy efficiency measures, the following steps should be taken:


Blue Earth Business Strategy - Energy Efficiency


· Determine the energy efficiency goals and priorities.  Each company or organization has different priorities with regard to their energy efficiency goals.





40




· Reduce energy demand through Commissioning.  A thorough commissioning study will ensure that a building is performing to its design intent and will look at the following:

· Lighting

· Mechanical / HVAC systems and controls

· Refrigeration

· Equipment (office, process, and manufacturing)

· Building Envelope (windows, foundation, walls, ceiling roof, and insulation)

· Electrical Systems


· Energy audit.  Energy usage, history, and costs may be gathered from the utility company which will be helpful in determining what areas of the facility could improve the most by implementing certain energy efficiency measures.


· Recommend energy efficiency strategies to attain goals.  Some of these recommendations may be implemented under the second bullet above.  Other energy-saving measures include more efficient equipment, self-generating systems, new controls and variable speed drives.  


Alternative Energy Systems / Distributed Generation.  


An alternative energy system needs to suit the facility and its owner’s needs.  The following are several systems that Xnergy has a great deal of experience with:


· Photovoltaics / Solar Power.  This popular method converts the suns energy directly into electricity.   Photovoltaics (PV) is a viable method of generating power and more panel manufacturers are constantly increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their equipment.


· Fuel Cells. Fuel Cells use hydrogen and oxygen, the molecules that create water, to produce electricity with no pollution. A fuel cell operates like a battery, however a fuel cell does not run or require recharging. It will produce energy in the form of electricity and last as long as fuel is supplied.


· Gas Turbines.  These are used for distributed generation of electricity.  They are reliable and have minimal maintenance costs, and have control requirements to address air pollutants.


· Combined Heat & Power (CHP) using Fuel Cells or Other Technologies.  Waste heat from the power generation process is used to create either steam or hot water which can in turn be used for heat for the building.


Energy Procurement / Finance Options / Incentives


Along with the increasing demand for energy resources there are also more and more incentives to implement energy saving strategies for traditional and alternative energy systems.  Along with these incentives there are some creative methods to attain and pay for power, all of which the Company uses:


· Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).This popular method is a long-term agreement to buy power from a source that produces electricity.  Under a standard PPA, the power source assumes the risk of operating and managing the electricity.  This method frees up capital that a company could use elsewhere in its business operations while still maintaining low electricity costs.  Xnergy has established relationships with the financing sources and can find and broker the right deal for the facility.


· Synthetic Lease Agreements (SLAs).  This method enables a lessee to obtain equipment without having the debt on the company balance sheet.  The lessee can still get all the tax benefits (and burdens) of ownership, including the asset depreciation.


· PV: California Solar Initiative (CSI) Incentive:  For photovoltaic/solar systems, the CSI provides an incentive - based on the system size - for a newly implemented PV system.  Xnergy will help navigate the process and can assist in filling out the application and necessary paperwork needed in order to acquire the incentive.


· Tax Credits for Alternative Energy Implementation.  The federal government has extended the tax credits to companies upon the implementation of alternative energy systems. This credit can exceed 30%, depending on the tax bracket.


Xnergy Plan of Merger


 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan”), the Company purchased all of the capital stock of Xnergy for a Purchase Price of $15,012,010 (the “Purchase Price”).  The Company issued to the two shareholders of Xnergy, D. Jason Davis and Joseph Patalano (the “Xnergy Stockholders”) an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, valued at $3.00 per share in the merger agreement.   The shares were subject to a lock-up period which expired in September 2013.  The Company also assumed payment to a former stockholder of the unpaid balance of $1,415,088 for his shares which was paid in full when the former stockholder elected to convert the note into equity.



41




The Company simultaneously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Messrs. Davis and Patalano, the members of ecoLegacy LLC, to acquire said company which will continue to serve as a financing vehicle for Xnergy Distributed Energy Projects and is expected to receive recurring revenue from the equity portion of the alternative energy pipeline project described above.  D. Jason Davis, as CEO of Xnergy, and Joseph Patalano as COO of Xnergy, entered into five-year employment agreements with the Company.  Their employment agreements include a bonus plan based upon sharing a percentage of earnings above certain minimum thresholds for the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2013.  The Xnergy Stockholders each signed a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement extending until two years after voluntary separation from employment. All Xnergy employees, other than Messrs. Davis and Patalano, are eligible to participate in the Company’s employee stock option plan.  Certain key employees, selected by Jason Davis, received a total 66,667 shares issuance based on a formula of years of services and salary and restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock.


Recent Acquisitions


We have continued to expand our comprehensive energy solutions business through the strategic acquisitions of IPS Power Engineering Inc. (“IPS”), Intelligent Power Inc.(“IP”) and Millennium Power Solutions LLC (“MPS”), during the third quarter of 2013.  Our acquisition of IPS expands our alternative energy services offerings to private sector commercial customers including upgrades to a faclity’s energy infrastructure and the design, construction, operation and maintenance of smaller-scale combined heat and power or CHP energy power plants, on-site, IPS operations will be conducted through our Blue Earth CHP division.

Hawaii Solar Energy Acquisitions


Blue Earth entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) dated as of July 26, 2012, with White Horse Energy, LLC.  The PSA provided for the Company to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in Waianae PV-02, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (the “SPE”). The SPE is the owner of certain rights to construct an approximately 497 kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system in Waianae, Hawaii.  Construction began in the third quarter of 2012 and when connected to the grid in Hawaii will be owned and operated by the Company, unless sold to a third party, as part of the expansion of its core business to become an independent power producer.  The project is valued at approximately $2 million and consists of a solar PV system mounted on the ground.   The valuation is based on the typical price per watt for selling similar projects. The Company has received offers exceeding the $2 million valuation, however no sale has been completed.  The SPE has a fully executed 20 year power purchase agreement with Hawaiian Electric Company (“HECO”).  The SPE will engineer, construct, own, operate and maintain the solar PV plant.  The power generated by the plant will be sold to HECO in the form of kilowatt-hrs (electricity).


Hawaii has the largest Renewable Portfolio Standard in the US, requiring 40% of the state’s energy be supplied by renewable energy by 2030.  HECO’s Feed-In-Tariff (“FIT”) program is designed to encourage the addition of more renewable energy projects in Hawaii.  Pre-established FIT rates and standardized FIT contract terms facilitate the process of selling renewable energy to HECO.


On August 3, 2012, Blue Earth announced that it acquired the exclusive rights to construct seven different solar PV projects totaling approximately 3.5 megawatts DC in Hawaii.    The projects are located on the island of Oahu and are primarily ground mount solar systems.   Six projects acquired by BBLU meet the requirements of the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff offered by HECO.  The planned projects will employ local trade people during their construction.  Xnergy, Inc. will provide the engineering procurement and construction (“EPC”) for the respective projects.


Market Size


Blue Earth, Inc. is a comprehensive provider of energy efficiency and alternative/renewable energy solutions for small and medium sized commercial and industrial facilities. We also own, operate and manage independent power generation systems constructed (distributed solar PV generation systems and cogeneration systems) in conjunction with these services.


According to a July 2012 report from Pike Research titled “Energy Efficiency Retrofits for Commercial and Public Buildings”, the market for energy efficiency retrofits in commercial buildings will nearly double by 2020, reaching $152 billion worldwide. Western Europe will remain the largest market for energy efficiency retrofits in commercial and public buildings, but its share of world revenues will drop from 41% in 2011 to 37% in 2020.  Essentially equaling Western Europe, Asia Pacific, which represented 32% ($26 billion) of the revenue stream in 2011, will increase to 36% ($54.6 billion) by 2020.  North American energy efficiency revenues will more than double over the remainder of the decade, increasing to $35.3 billion by 2020.


As with other power sources, demand for solar power is driven by residential, commercial, and industrial electricity demand, which increases with population and economic growth. Additionally, growing concern over environmental and geopolitical issues surrounding fossil fuels has boosted interest in renewable energy sources such as solar. The revenue earned from distributed solar power sales is expected to reach $112 billion annually by 2018, according to a 2013 report titled “Distributed Solar Energy Generation” report from cleantech market research firm Navigant Research.


Combined heat and power (CHP) systems, also known as cogeneration systems are used for the simultaneous generation of both electricity and heat energy. Driven by low natural gas prices, CHP for commercial buildings will surpass $11 billion in market value by 2022, according to the above described report from Pike Research.  Current installations of combined heat and power (CHP) systems in commercial buildings are mostly confined to developed markets in Europe, South Korea, Japan, and the United States.  The market has been limited, until recently, by high upfront capital costs associated with CHP systems.  Today, though, a growing number of commercial users – from hospitals to schools to business parks – are installing CHP systems as a means of reducing operating expenses, improving power reliability, and reducing carbon emissions.


Additional Market Drivers


Utility Rebate Programs. In a number of markets throughout the U.S., local electrical utilities and related organizations are offering rebates for the purchase and installation of energy efficient products and systems. Ratepayer funded programs are offered by utilities to encourage load reductions by its customers. These incentives may be structured as one-time up-front rebates on energy efficient equipment or may consist of payments per measured kWh saved over a course of several years. Small commercial businesses can leverage the cost of retrofits with incentives received through ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs.




43




Rebate incentives are typically used to buy down utility retrofit project costs for energy efficiency programs. The customer can receive the rebate directly from the utility, or the energy service company may assist in identifying programs that the small commercial business may qualify for and may collect the rebate on the customer’s behalf.


Many utility companies employ demand side management programs to help reduce energy consumption. These regulated programs benefits the customer by subsidizing the first cost of capital improvements that provide long - term energy and operational cost savings. Currently, energy efficiency rebates are only offered by specific electrical utilities and the respective rebate programs and requirements change frequently.


Aging and Inefficient Facility Infrastructure. Many organizations continue to operate with an energy infrastructure that is significantly less efficient and cost-effective than what is now available through more advanced technologies applied to lighting, heating, cooling and other building systems. As these organizations explore alternatives for renewing their aging facilities, they often identify multiple areas within their facilities that could benefit from the implementation of energy efficiency measures, including the possible use of renewable sources of energy.


Movement Toward Industry Consolidation. As energy efficiency solutions continue to increase in technological complexity and customers look for service providers that can offer broad geographic and product coverage, we believe smaller niche energy efficiency companies will continue to look for opportunities to combine with larger companies such as the Company that can better serve their customers’ needs. Increased market presence and size of energy efficiency companies should, in turn, create greater customer awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency measures.


Increased Use of Third-Party Financing. Many organizations desire to use their existing sources of capital for core investments or do not have the internal capacity to finance improvements to their energy infrastructure. These organizations often require innovative structures to facilitate the financing of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.

Blue Earth Solar Sales and Marketing


Since Xnergy is a multi-faceted company with more service offerings than most, there are several unique sales and marketing strategies that are used.  These can be both very positive to the business model while being challenging to properly implement.  A summary of our sales approach for our varying capabilities is as follows:


As an ESCO, our sales and marketing approach is to offer customers customized and all-encompassing energy efficiency solutions tailored to meet their economic, operational and technical needs. The sales process for these opportunities can take up to 24 months, with public agency / governmental customers tending to require the longest sales processes. We identify project opportunities through referrals, conferences, warm leads, cold calls and occasionally through requests for proposals. Our direct sales force develops and follows up on customer leads and, in some cases, works with customers to develop their facility’s energy strategies.


The Blue Earth Solar plan involves decreasing a facility’s energy consumption and demand first through identification of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s).  Through our knowledge of the federal, state, local governmental and utility environment, we assess the availability of energy, utility or environmental-based incentives for usage reductions, which helps us optimize the economic benefits of a proposed project for a customer.


After we have identified and implemented these ECM’s, the facility demand has been reduced and now we move on to the self-generation options that would benefit the customer.  We can provide these projects “turn-key” to the customer.  Depending on the particular scenario, we can engineer, install, commission, and maintain the system after it is installed.  We also are able to offer financing options via lease or PPA’s.  Through a PPA, we would finance the project, then sell the power to the client at a rate less than and/or more consistent than what they get from the utility.


After the project has been completed our Operations & Maintenance group can service and maintain the equipment that was installed.  This added value helps ensure our clients that Blue Earth wants to be a partner for life and will stand by our projects.

General Contractor


Blue Earth Solar offers engineering, construction, and construction management services to a variety of industries.  Blue Earth Solar has tradesmen that perform the majority of work for most projects.  The trades which are most prevalent for us:

· Mechanical

· Pipefitting/plumbing

· Electrical

· Framing/drywall

· Concrete


Our ability to self-perform these trades enables us to keep costs down for our customers by not having the third-party markups adding margin into projects.


Having engineering and construction capabilities “in-house” enables us to provide complete turn-key projects to our clients. Having these abilities also makes it a natural fit for us to perform design-build projects, which save our customers money while also enabling the projects to have the minimum number of challenges/issues.


Knowing our strengths and the types of facilities that most benefit from our services allow us to concentrate sales and marketing efforts on industries such as life sciences, semi-conductor, and other high-technology organizations.  We are active participants in associations that involve professionals from these target companies, and use these as networking opportunities to help increase sales leads.


Service:  Operations & Maintenance (“O & M”)


Blue Earth Solar offers O&M services for HVAC and energy systems.  We offer traditional HVAC services including repairs, retrofits, and preventive maintenance contracts.  These contracts can be year-to-year or multi-year.  We also offer agreements which essentially provide the client warranty coverage if any of the components we are maintaining break down.  


Commissioning


Our sales and marketing approach for commissioning is similar to our General Construction and Service segments in terms of the target markets.  The Xnergy commissioning group, labeled Benchmarcx®, performs energy audits, HVAC testing and balancing, and system start-up for all construction and energy projects.  Benchmarcx® is able to target other general and mechanical contractors that do not have the in-house commissioning capabilities so Benchmarcx® can market itself to them.  This is done through direct sales and marketing efforts.  In addition to these targets, Benchmarcx® also focuses on the end-users directly. These include clients occupying space where commissioning is more critical, such as labs, clean rooms, and manufacturing suites.


Blue Earth EPS Sales and Marketing


MPS’s key market for its proprietary UPStealth™ intelligent digital battery backup system technology users is the traffic industry.  For the traffic industry, MPS will be the manufacturer, offering inside sales and distribution support to authorized distributors. The Traffic UPStealth™ has been introduced to end users, such as Departments of Transportations, city and county agencies “agencies”, design firms, contractors and distributors through over 200 webinars. We are also considering private labeling of its UPStealth™ products to large scale traffic equipment manufacturers through licensing agreements.


Blue Earth PPS Sales and Marketing


IPS’s marketing strategy for our patented PeakPower® energy management system is to use a concentrated segmentation strategy to focus primarily on large supermarket chains.  IP has a three pronged strategy with supermarket executives on its Advisory Board making direct sales introductions at high levels.  We intend to leverage the large sales forces, and installed bases of major refrigeration equipment manufacturers by signing OEM deals with select companies and co-marketing. Then, given the geographic dispersion of the individual stores, Blue Earth is establishing relationships with regional refrigeration contractors to assist with installation and become our first level of support.


Pricing strategy will include options for leasing, purchasing and a no-cost option that involves sharing energy savings with customers. A lynchpin of the marketing plan is the communications strategy. A combination of tools including PR, trade shows, digital, social, and advertising will be utilized to create awareness and solidify the PeakPower® brand





45




The potential applications for IPs PeakPower® technology span numerous industries and apply globally.  The following is a breakdown of the primary and secondary markets.

Blue Earth CHP Sales and Marketing


There is a large opportunity for implementing co-generation systems if the systems are marketed correctly.  Trying to sell this as a standalone capital expenditure project in this economic environment will result in very few sales although the projects will probably have tremendous cash flows, quick pay backs, and excellent long-term rate of returns.  Companies that have not allocated budgets or want to spend capital on large co-generation projects, but want lower electricity and lower heat generation rates that co-generation systems can provide are excellent candidates.  There is too much uncertainty and several companies would rather preserve capital to spend on core business projects.  However, they also want the redundancy that these systems provide, described as follows:


1)

On -site electricity generator maintains power even if the power company grid fails.

2)

Co-generating system provides more efficient running steam/hot water with the current boiler systems in place as a backup.

3)

Reduced cost of energy overall to lower manufacturing costs.


We implement our proprietary design procedure in order to properly size and provide redundant energy source solutions that have positive ROIs. In order to successfully market a co-generation system the base proposition to the manufacturer is that this is a rate change to lower utility rates, lower current maintenance labor, and eliminate maintenance parts costs by shutting down old inefficient systems and providing for redundant sources.  BE CHIP covers the cost of the equipment, system installation, and ongoing maintenance so there is no capital expenditure to the customer.


We are profiling customers that have large thermal (heat) loading processes that are part of their manufacturing process.  Ideally, the customer will already have boilers that provide steam generation with the entire process infrastructure such as pipes, valves, and system controls in place and functioning within the original design specification.  Because of the standard inefficiencies of boilers and furnaces, we can generate steam to match heat requirements and generate electricity the same fuel cost the customer is currently paying to only generate steam.  In essence, the fuel required to run the turbine generator is “free” since the company is already paying to generate the hear from the fuel.  This allows us to sell the electricity and hear to the end user at a lower rate than that they currently use.  The net savings effect is between 8-20% lower utility costs.


Competition


Blue Earth EMS


The clean-tech industry is highly competitive. The energy efficiency segment for small commercial businesses is also highly competitive.  Castrovilla competes with various types and sizes of companies ranging from local and national service providers, local refrigeration contractors, such as Egain and Energywise and rebate program administrators.  Castrovilla differentiates itself as the only fully-licensed, comprehensive contractor in Northern California which sells and installs energy efficiency projects through utility rebate programs, and which contracts directly with utilities, allowing it to perform retrofit services and secure rebates for its small and large customers who operate locations served by multiple utilities.






46




Few contractors in our market area actually participate in the third-party program process.  The reluctance is attributable to the considerable amount of paperwork required for each project.  Having completed thousands of applications, however, Castrovilla is accustomed to preparing the appropriate documents.  Because of the new comprehensiveness requirement for refrigeration projects, several of the previously participating companies are no longer qualified.  Finally, both the utilities and the third-party administrators have become stricter about contractor participation requirements, which is actively removing unqualified and unscrupulous vendors.  As a contractor who is regularly contacted by the utilities and the third-party program administrators to repair issues left behind by others, Castrovilla’s reputation is among the best.


We intend to compete based on the following:


Comprehensive Service Provider. We offer to our customers expertise in addressing almost all aspects of energy efficiency. Our staff from acquired companies is expected to provide the capability and flexibility to determine what energy efficiency measures are best suited to achieve the customer’s energy efficiency and environmental goals.


Independence. We are an independent company with no affiliation to any equipment manufacturer, utility or fuel company. Unlike affiliated service companies, we have the freedom and flexibility to be objective in selecting particular products and technologies available from different acquisition candidates and suppliers in order to optimize our solutions for customers’ particular needs.


Experienced Management. Our executive officers each has almost 30 years of experience in founding, acquiring and operating publicly held companies in diverse business sectors.


Federal and State Qualifications. The federal governmental program under which federal agencies and departments can enter into ESPCs requires that energy service providers have a track record in the industry and meet other specified qualifications. Over 20 states require similar qualifications. We intend to acquire companies which meet these qualifications. This will provide us with the opportunity to continue to grow our business with federal, state and other governmental customers and differentiates us from energy efficiency companies that have not been similarly qualified.


· Federal. In 2007, the United States enacted the Energy Independence and Security Act which mandates that federal buildings reduce energy consumption by 30% by 2015 compared to their 2003 baseline and contains multiple provisions promoting long-term ESPCs. The U.S. Department of Energy also has a number of research, development, grant and financing programs - most notably the DOE Loan Guarantee Program - to encourage energy efficiency and renewable energy. Additionally, the United States has adopted federal incentives for renewable energy, including the production tax credit, investment tax credit and accelerated depreciation.


· State.  At the state level, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy stated in its 2012 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard that significant measures to support energy efficiency have been implemented, including as of October 2012, the following:

·

Annual savings from customer-funded energy efficiency programs topped 18 million MWh in 2010, a 40% increase over a year earlier.  This is roughly equivalent to amount of electricity the State of Wyoming uses each year.

·

Utility budgets for electric and natural gas efficiency programs rose to almost $7 billion in 2011, a 27% increase over a year earlier.  Of this amount $5.9 billion went to electric efficiency programs, with the remaining $1.1 billion for natural gas programs.  These represent 29% and 18% increases, respectively, over 2010 budgets.

·

Twenty-four states have adopted and adequately funded an Energy Efficiency Resource Standard, which sets long-term energy savings targets and drives investments in utility-sector energy efficiency programs.  The states with the most aggressive savings targets include Arizona, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.


· Economic Stimuli.  Governments worldwide have allocated significant portions of economic stimuli to clean energy.


· Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocated $67 billion to promote clean energy, energy efficiency and advanced vehicles. Additionally, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act instituted a grant program that provides cash in lieu of the investment tax credit for eligible renewable energy generation sources which commence construction in 2010.


Key factors in the award of contracts include system and service performance, quality, price, design, reputation, technology, application engineering capability and energy management services. Competitors for contracts in the small commercial businesses marketplace include many local, regional, national and international companies with greater resources than we have.


The domestic energy services market for small commercial businesses is highly fragmented, which we believe, provides a viable point-of-entry for acquiring established, reputable, profitable energy services companies who are seeking access to growth capital and innovative, commercially proven, cost-effective energy efficient technologies.





47




There are three principal types of energy efficiency companies:


· Independent Energy Services Companies - Energy efficiency companies such as the Company, which are not associated with an equipment manufacturer, utility or fuel company. Most of these companies are small and focus either on a specific geography or specific customer base.


· Utility-Affiliated Energy Services Companies - Companies owned by regulated North American utilities, many of which were traditionally focused on the service territories of their affiliated utilities, but have since expanded their geographical markets. Examples include Constellation Energy Projects and Services and ConEdison Solutions.


· Equipment Manufacturers - Companies owned by building equipment or controls manufacturers. Many of these companies have a national presence through an extensive network of branch offices. Examples include Honeywell, Johnson Controls and Siemens.


Blue Earth Solar


The energy services segment for non-residential customers and utility scale projects is highly fragmented and also highly competitive on a local, regional and national basis. Xnergy competes with various types and sizes of companies ranging from local energy and mechanical services providers including Pacific Rim Mechanical and Apex Mechanical and national energy services providers such as Johnson Controls, Inc. and Ameresco. Xnergy has only a few competitors in the Life Sciences portion of its business including Pacific Building Group and DBC Inc. on a local basis and DPR Construction on a regional and national basis. The competitors in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)/alternative energy segment of its business include AECOM, Chevron Energy Solutions on a national basis and solar project installers including Borrego Solar, Helio Power and Sullivan Solar among others on a local basis. Also, several Chinese solar panel manufacturers have begun to provide EPC services as part of their vertical market strategy. The competitors for our commissioning business activities include KEMA, Inc. and MBO, Inc.


Blue Earth Solar differentiates itself from its competitors in a number of ways, including providing its customers with an in-depth array of turnkey services and energy efficient products. Blue Earth Solar is technology neutral and diligently seeks to locate and provide its clients with the most beneficial technology that is currently available. We are unique in our capability to install solar, cogeneration, fuel cells, geothermal and wind-powered systems. The majority of our competitors specialize in designing or installing only one of these types of energy systems. Also in contrast to several of our competitors, we offer complete engineering and energy analysis (energy auditing or retro-commissioning) to ensure its clients are using their existing energy in the most efficient manner prior to designing an alternative energy option. We also differentiate ourselves by being fully licensed and self-performing most of the major and critical trades including electrical, piping, HVAC, plumbing and general construction work.  Being vertically integrated with our Service Group allows us to offer complete after construction O & M services through the life of the energy asset.


Blue Earth EPS


The battery backup system market segment for traffic intersections is highly fragmented and is also highly competitive on a local, regional and national basis. MPS competes primarily with lead-acid based battery backup and uninterrupted power systems manufacturers including Alpha Technologies, Clary Corp, Sensata Technologies (Dimensions), Tesco and Meyers. The sales channel primarily consists of distributors/resellers of lead-acid based battery back and uninterrupted power systems.  MPS differentiates itself by offering a nickel/zinc based battery with its proprietary UPStealth™ intelligent digital battery backup system.


Blue Earth PPS


The refrigeration controls market segment including compressor controller systems is highly competitive on a local regional and national basis. IP competes primarily with refrigeration compressor controller systems manufacturers such as Emerson Einstein, E2, Novar (Honeywell) and Danfoss. The IP patented PeakPower® system differentiates itself from its competitors products based on exacting performance criteria, pricing and ease of system installation. The PeakPower ® system Thermal Sensors are simply placed at each end of coolers and freezers, much less complex than our competitors.


Blue Earth CHP


The combined heat and power (CHP) market segment is highly competitive on a local, regional and national basis.  Competitors vary widely in terms of CHP developer engineering firms that only provide design and feasibility studies to full service ESCO companies that will design/build/maintain.  Several are fringe competitors that provide just back-up generators and not full CHP solutions -- however, they do provide a distributed generation solution.  IPS Power Engineering competes with the following as well as other companies:  AltaGen Energy Corp., Concentric Power, Inc., FOG Energy Corporation, Green Tech Energy Solutions, LLC and Duke Energy Generation Services.

Where we differ from competitors is the design phase of the project.  Our proprietary design process carefully matches the site requirements for heat to the co-generation equipment.  An improper design either will undersize the heat requirement or oversize the generator both which produce lower profits and additional expenses.  We also differ in the implementation financing and ongoing support of the co-generation projects.  Our competitors are attempting to convince corporations to spend millions of dollars on equipment on non-core company technology and convince them it is part of their corporate sustainabililty efforts.  After they complete an installation and train some employees they move on the next project.  They also do not take into account the need manufacturing companies have to plan for redundancy in terms of energy sustainability.  Although electricity and heat are essential to their processes, utilities are also viewed as a fixed cost and most corporations do not want to spend a lot of money on something they can contract out.  Our program is to finance the co-generation project and sell the electricity and required heat (steam) back to the company at reduced dates for a contracted period of time.


Government and Environmental Regulation


Energy Efficiency


Various regulations will affect the conduct of our business. Federal and state legislation and regulations enable us to enter into ESPCs with government agencies in the United States. The applicable regulatory requirements for ESPCs differ in each state and between agencies of the federal government.


Our projects must conform to all applicable electric reliability, building and safety, and environmental regulations and codes, which vary from place to place and time to time. Various federal, state, provincial and local permits are required to construct an energy efficiency project or alternate renewable energy plant.


Intellectual Property


The Company owns an issued patent on its PeakPower® energy management and an issued patent for its roll-lock snap-on current transformer. The Company has several patents filed and in the pending stage. While the Company believes patents are important to its business operations and in the aggregate constitute a valuable asset, Management believes based on their knowledge of the industry that no single patent or group of patents is critical for the success of the business.


The Company has applied for trademark for the name eecoStationTM.  Xnergy, Inc. has been issued a registered service mark in the name of Benchmarcx®.  Intelligent Power was issued a registered service mark in the name of Peak-Power®.  Trademarks have been applied for UPStealthTM, Keep York CoolTM and eecoBlueTM.

Energy Efficiency Advisory Board


The Company has organized an Energy Efficiency Advisory Board (“EEAB”) although there are not currently any members. The members of the EEAB are expected to have different energy efficiency backgrounds.  These categories include, but are not limited to, HVAC, lighting and refrigeration, international relationships, energy management programs and verification, technologies, political/public regulatory commission experience (both State and Federal), utilities contacts and expertise.


The members of the EEAB will advise and consult with Management, and the Board of Directors, on an informal basis from time to time on business matters in their respective areas of expertise and will be reimbursed for expenses in attending meetings.  Each advisor will receive 15,000 non-qualified stock options at the then current fair market value as their compensation and are expected to sign three-year agreements.  Members will also be paid consulting fees normally charged by such persons for additional work performed at the Company’s request.


Each member of the EEAB is expected to devote only a small portion of his time to the Company’s affairs.  Members of the EEAB are employed by employers other than the Company (or are retired) and accordingly will have no fiduciary duty to the Company.  The Company’s need for the expertise of a particular member of the EEAB will depend on the development of the Company’s technologies and any acquisitions made.  Accordingly, members of the EEAB as such, have no formal duties, authority or management obligations.  Each of the members of the EEAB will agree to keep confidential information provided to them.


Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


Our directors and executive officers were not involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past ten years.


Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance


We have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with key officers and directors and such persons shall also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.


Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight


Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to keep these roles separate.


Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our board of directors. The Audit Committee receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Directors, which also considers our risk profile. The Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors focus on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.


Independent Directors


We believe Laird Cagan is an “independent director,” as that term is defined by listing standards of the national exchanges and SEC rules, including the rules relating to the independence standards of an audit committee and the non-employee director definition of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.  The Company’s Board of Directors has elected Michael W. Allman, James A. Kelly and Governor Bill Richardson to its Board of Directors.  Each will serve as an independent investor for a two-year term commencing on the earlier of (i) when the Company’s securities are listed on Nasdaq or NYSE MKT, or (ii) January 1, 2014.  Each of these three persons will serve as an independent director and on the respective committees listed below.



53




Committees of the Board of Directors


In June 2013, the board of directors adopted charters relative to its audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee. Until January 1, 2014, the entire Board determined all matters and no Committees had been formed.


Audit Committee


The audit committee’s duties are to recommend to our board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee oversees the independent auditors, including their independence and objectivity. However, the committee members are not acting as professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or substitute for the activities of management and the independent auditors. The audit committee is empowered to retain independent legal counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to assist the audit committee in fulfilling its responsibilities, and to approve the fees and other retention terms of the advisors. Our audit committee members possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.   Michael W. Allman serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee, which also consists of James A. Kelly and Governor Bill Richardson.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert.  The Board of Directors has determined that Michael W. Allman is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined by the SEC. As noted above, Mr. Allman, as well as the other members of the Audit Committee, has been determined to be “independent” within the meaning of SEC and exchange regulations.

 

Compensation Committee


The compensation committee has certain duties and powers as described in its charter, including but not limited to periodically reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies, compensation of our executive officers, administering our stock option plans, and recommending and approving grants of stock options under those plans.   James A. Kelly serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee, which also consists of Michael W. Allman and Governor Bill Richardson.


Nominating Committee


The nominating and corporate governance committee considers and makes recommendations on matters related to the practices, policies and procedures of the board of directors and takes a leadership role in shaping our corporate governance. As part of its duties, the nominating and corporate governance committee assesses the size, structure and composition of the board of directors and its committees, coordinates evaluation of board performance and reviews board compensation. The nominating and corporate governance committee also acts as a screening and nominating committee for candidates considered for election to the board of directors.   Michael W. Allman serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, which also consists of James A. Kelly and Governor Bill Richardson.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation


None of our directors or executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors.


Director Compensation/Consulting Agreements


Upon his joining the Board of Directors, Laird Cagan was granted 100,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with one-half vested immediately and one-half upon the first anniversary date.  Mr. Cagan also entered into a two-year consulting agreement under which he was granted warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock(of which 62,500 were assigned to his then employer) exercisable at $1.24 per share (the average closing market price for the prior ten trading days).  The warrants vest 62,500 per quarter for the two-year-period beginning on the effective date of the consulting agreement and are exercisable for ten years, as amended. Mr. Cagan also entered into a services agreement dated November 6, 2012, under which he was granted warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.01 per share and are exercisable for ten years. Mr. Cagan was granted ten year warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share to purchase 212,500 shares of Common Stock as equity compensation in conjunction with a $650,000 loan to the Company which has been repaid.  Mr. Cagan was also granted ten-year warrants as of April 17, 2013, exercisable at $0.01 per share to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration of his serving as an emergency financing source.

The table below sets forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders and the shares of our common stock offered by them in this prospectus.  None of the selling stockholders have had a material relationship with us within the past three years other than described in the footnotes to the table below or as a result of their acquisition of our shares or other securities.  To our knowledge, subject to community property laws where applicable, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock set forth opposite such person’s name.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC.


Each selling stockholder’s percentage of ownership of our outstanding shares in the table below is based upon 55,417,082 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 14, 2013, except where noted.  The number of shares beneficially owned after the Offering assumes that all shares offered hereby are sold.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock


The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws are summaries and are qualified by reference to our articles of incorporation and by-laws. Copies of these documents have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.


We have authorized 125,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 100,000,000 are shares of common stock and 25,000,000 are shares ofblank check” preferred stock.


Common Stock


The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our common stock will have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future. As of January 22, 2014, 60,058,029 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding held by 163 shareholders of record and approximately 1,300 beneficial owners of our shares of Common Stock.


Preferred Stock


Our board of directors will be authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have the number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.


On September 29, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation and Preferences with the Secretary of State of Nevada to authorize the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $10.00 face value, $.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock was offered in a private placement (the “Preferred Stock Offering”) of Units each consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share and warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock for each two shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock. An aggregate of 297,067 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding convertible into 2,970,670 shares of Common Stock.  As of the date of this Prospectus all shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock paid dividends at 8% per annum if paid in cash, or 12% if paid in Common Stock, all of which were paid in Common Stock. In the event of a conversion prior to the payment of the first year of dividends, the Company paid the holder such dividends equal to what the holder was to receive for the first full year from the date of issuance. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at a rate of ten (10) shares of Common Stock, or $1.00 per share. Each share not previously converted by the holder was automatically converted by the Company at $1.00 per share (unless adjusted) upon the first to occur: (i) the fourth anniversary date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock trades at least $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive calendar days which accrued. The Series A Preferred Stock carried a $10.00 per share liquidation preference plus unpaid dividends, and voted on an as converted basis with the Common Stock.


On April 2, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation and Preference to authorize the issuance of up to 300,000 Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $10.00 face value, $.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock was virtually identical to the Series A Preferred Stock except it was automatically converted by the Company at $1.00 per share when the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock traded at least $2.20 (rather than $2.25) per share for 60 consecutive calendar days.  An aggregate of 283,052 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were sold.  As of the date of this Prospectus, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock.


On April 2, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation and Preference to authorize the issuance of up to 500,000 Shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $10.00 face value, $.001 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), which was subsequently amended to increase the authorized shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to 910,000.  The Series C Preferred Stock is virtually identical to the Series A and B Preferred Stock except it may be automatically converted by the Company at $1.00 per share of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock trades at least $2.18 per share for 60 consecutive calendar days. As of July 3, 2013, an aggregate of 903,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding convertible into 9,035,000 shares of Common Stock and 740,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were outstanding as of December 2, 2013.

Transfer Agent

Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 718.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person (a) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the NRS, and (b) acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.


Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the NRS, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. In addition, our director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Nevada law, provided that no indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification in connection with any claim initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers unless we join or consent to the initiation of the claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.


Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.


We are also permitted to maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.





70




Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


Anti-Takeover Effect of Nevada Law, Certain By-Law Provisions


Certain provisions of our Bylaws are intended to strengthen the board of directors’ position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt. These provisions have the following effects:


We are subject to the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, an anti-takeover law which applies to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an "issuing corporation." In general, such anti-takeover laws permit the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution adopted by the directors of an "issuing corporation" (as defined in NRS 78.3788) to impose stricter requirements on the acquisition of a controlling interest in such corporation than the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, as well as permit the directors of an issuing corporation to take action to protect the interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including, but not limited to, adopting plans, arrangements or other instruments that grant or deny rights, privileges, power or authority to holder(s) of certain percentages of ownership and/or voting power. Further, an "acquiring person" (and those acting in association) only obtains such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by resolution of the stockholders at either a special meeting requested by the acquiring person, provided it delivers an offeror's statement pursuant to NRS 78.3789 and undertakes to pay the expenses thereof, or at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the anti-takeover law generally provides for (i) the redemption by the issuing corporation of not less than all of the "control shares" (as defined) in accordance with NRS 78.3792, if so provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest in an "issuing corporation", and (ii) dissenter's rights pursuant to NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, for stockholders that voted against authorizing voting rights for the control shares.


We are also subject to the provisions of NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, which generally prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a "combination" with an "interested stockholder" (each as defined) that is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least ten percent of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation that previously held such voting power within the past three years, for a period of three years after the date the person first became an "interested stockholder", subject to certain exceptions for authorized combinations, as provided therein.


In accordance with NRS 78.195, our articles of incorporation provide for the authority of the board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock in series by filing a certificate of designation to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, subject to limitations prescribed by law.



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the over-the-counter market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholders is not currently subject to any underwriting agreement. Each selling stockholder must use a broker-dealer which is registered in the state in which the selling stockholder seeks to sell their shares. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:


·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

conducting business in places where business practices and customs are unfamiliar and unknown;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

·

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

a combination of any of these methods of sale;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.



71




The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.


The Company has not engaged any FINRA member firms to participate in the distribution of securities, except to the extent that certain broker dealers described below shall be selling shareholders in connection with certain warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock received in their capacity as placement agents for earlier private offerings. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.  The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes the shares of common stock underlying the warrants held by these firms and certain associated persons listed below. The SEC has indicated that it is their position that any broker-dealer firm which is a selling stockholder is deemed an underwriter and therefore these firms may be deemed an underwriter with respect to the securities being sold by them.


GarWood Securities LLC, Colorado Financial Service Corp., WFG Investments, Inc., Legend Merchant Group, and Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp. are registered broker-dealers and FINRA member firms and listed as selling stockholders in this prospectus. Notwithstanding, none of these firms are participating in the distribution of securities on behalf of the Company, except to extent each such firm shall be selling shareholders in connection with warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock previously received pursuant to certain private offerings. Colorado Financial Service Corp., WFG Investments, Inc., Legend Merchant Group and Jessup & Lamont Securities Group served as placement agents in our 2009 Private Placement, and received, in addition to cash commissions, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 33,000, 14,000, 8,000 and 2,500 shares of our common stock, respectively, with an exercise price of $1.25 per share.


Of the total of 33,000 warrants held by Colorado Financial Service Corp. (or its associated persons as listed in the “Selling Stockholders” table above), 13,000 were received in connection with the 2009 Private Placement closing on October 30, 2009 and the remainder were received in connection with the final closing of the 2009 Private Placement on December 29, 2009, and expire on October 30, 2014 and December 29, 2014, respectively. The 14,000 warrants held by WFG Investments, Inc. (or its associated persons as listed in the “Selling Stockholders” table above) were received in connection with the 2009 Private Placement closing on October 30, 2009, and expire on October 30, 2014. Of the total of 8,000 warrants held by Legend Merchant Group (or its associated persons as listed in the “Selling Stockholders” table above), 2,000 were received in connection with the Private Placement closing on November 19, 2009 and the remainder were received in connection with the final closing of the 2009 Private Placement on December 29, 2009, and expire on November 19, 2014 and December 29, 2014, respectively. The 2,500 warrants held by Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp (or its associated persons as listed in the “Selling Stockholders” table above) were received in connection with the final closing of the 2009 Private Placement on December 29, 2009, and expire on December 29, 2014. The 57,500 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Placement Agent warrants received by these firms (or their assignees as indicated in the “Selling Stockholders” table above) are restricted from sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation or being the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(c)(3).


Legend Merchant Group received warrants to purchase 186,080 shares of common stock in connection with the 2011 Series A Preferred Stock Offering (65,500 shares) and the 2012 Series B Preferred Stock Offering (120,580 shares). The warrants expire on various dates through 2018. Legend Merchant Group had a previous affiliation with a registered FINRA member. Currently, Legend Merchant Group is not a FINRA member.


Colorado Financial Service Corp., and its assignee, received warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock in connection with the 2011 Series A Preferred Stock Offering. The warrants expire on various dates through 2016.


In connection with the Series C. Preferred Stock Offering, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 371,000 shares of common stock were issued to Colorado Financial Services Corp. (54,500 shares); Security Research Associates (191,500 shares); National Securities Corp. (95,000 shares) and American Trust Investment Services, Inc. (30,000) shares).


Each of these firms has indicated to us its willingness to act as selling agent on behalf of certain of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus under “Selling Stockholders” that purchased our privately placed securities. All shares sold, if any, on behalf of selling stockholders by these firms would be in transactions executed by these firms on an agency basis and commissions charged to its customers in connection with each transaction shall not exceed a maximum of 4.5% of the gross proceeds. These firms do not have an underwriting agreement with us and/or the selling stockholders and no selling stockholders are required to execute transactions through these firms. Further, other than their existing brokerage relationship as customers with these firms, no selling stockholders have any pre-arranged agreement, written or otherwise, with these firms to sell their securities through these firms.




72




FINRA Rule 5110 (previously 2710) requires FINRA member firms (unless an exemption applies) to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 2710 in connection with the resale, on behalf of selling stockholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. FINRA Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling stockholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this Prospectus through a member of FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, the member is responsible for ensuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:


·

it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of the certificates;

·

the complete details of how the selling shareholders shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;

·

whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding these transactions; and

·

in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file for review with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA all relevant documents with respect to these transactions.


No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 5110, in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling shareholders.  On October 7, 2013, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption Letter to the holders of an aggregate of 8,832,126 Class A Warrants included in the Company’s  Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No-333-181420) which is being combined in this Prospectus.  See “Description of Securities-Class A, B and C Warrants--Redemption of Warrants.”  


The Company has the option, without further compensation to the holder other than the payment of the $.001 redemption price per warrant to call for redemption the 4,517,500 Class A Warrants registered under this registration statement.  In such event:  (a) the Company can cause any or all of the warrants which are not properly exercised on or before the redemption date to be assigned to one or more third parties (each, a “Standby Purchaser”), effectively immediately upon the redemption date, for the consideration equal to $.001 per non-exercised warrant payable to the Company, (b) each Standby Purchaser shall have the right to exercise the non-exercised warrants so assigned to such Standby Purchaser until the Redemption Date;  and (c) any Standby Purchaser would be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to pay FINRA member firms mutually agreed to (i) sales commissions for the exercise of any Class A Warrants, and/or (ii) a fee for the introduction of Standby Purchasers.  The Company may also pay a commitment fee directly to Standby Purchasers.  The Company does not have any agreements or understandings with any FINRA member firms to pay any corporation in connection with any possible redemption.


We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this Prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.


In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to these broker-dealers or other financial institutions of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares these broker-dealers or other financial institutions may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect these transactions).


The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In this event, any commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed seven percent (7%).


We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.



73




Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.


Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.



LEGAL MATTERS


Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, 605 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10158, will pass upon the validity of the shares of our common stock and Warrants to be sold in this offering.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors

Blue Earth, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Henderson, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Blue Earth, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Blue Earth, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


Note 1. Description of Business


Blue Earth, Inc.  and subsidiaries (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, is a provider of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions for facilities primarily located in west coast states. The Company is a full servicer energy solutions provider. The Company provides energy efficiency services including energy management, energy audits and reducing energy consumption through retrofits of lighting, refrigeration and HVAC for small commercial business. The Company also develops, designs, builds and implements technologies such as solar, fuel cells and combined heat and power for alternative and renewable energy projects of less than 1 MW. The Company also finances renewable and alternative energy projects through industry relationships.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. Management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which they rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Significant estimates include the estimates of depreciable lives and valuation of property and equipment, valuation and amortization periods of intangible assets, valuation of derivatives, valuation of payroll tax contingencies, valuation of share-based payments, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for 2012 reflect the financial position and operations of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries, Blue Earth Tech, Inc., (BET) Castrovilla, Inc., (Castrovilla), Blue Earth Energy Management, Inc,  (BEEM), HVAC Controls and Specialties, Inc. (HVAC), Ecolegacy Gas & Power, LLC (Eco), Xnergy, Inc. (Xnergy), Blue Earth Energy Management Services, Inc. (BEEMS) and Blue Earth Finance, Inc. (BEF).  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Blue Earth Tech, Inc, Castrovilla, Inc.,  and Blue Earth Energy Management, Inc. The 2011 consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of HVAC Controls and Specialties, Inc., Ecolegacy, LLC and Xnergy, Inc. from September 1, 2011.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable related to its construction contracts based on billings or on amounts due under the contractual terms. Accounts receivable throughout the year may decrease based on payments received, credits for change orders, or back charges incurred.


Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, economic conditions, and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $58,233 and $193,218 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets per the following table. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Computer and office equipment

3-5 years

Equipment and tools

Intangible Assets

The Company records the purchase of intangible assets not purchased in a business combination in accordance with the ASC Topic 350 and records intangible assets acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805. In  connection with the purchases of Castrovilla. and Xnergy. The Company has recorded $11,595,475 as the value of customer contracts and franchises. In 2011 the Company paid $277,000 for a license to energy conservation technology. The license was cancelled in 2012. These amounts are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $2,342,178 and $1,100,798 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Annual amortization expense will be $2,319,075 through 2016.


Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, which generally requires the assessment of these assets for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market value of the assets.


Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. Excluded from the scope of ASC Topic 820 are certain leasing transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 840, “Leases.” The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction, but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of ASC Topic 820.


Advertising

The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its services. In accordance with ASC Topic 720-35-25, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs aggregated $107,215 and $300,927 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  


Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.  

 

Reserve for Warranty

The Company has accrued a reserve for the estimated cost of completing warranted services. The reserve is $1,717 and  $25,241 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from professional services contracts. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements. Revenues from professional services are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” Under the completed-contract basis, contract costs are recorded to a deferred asset account and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account during the periods of construction. Costs include direct material, direct labor and subcontract labor. All revenues, costs, and profits are recognized in operations upon completion of the contract. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and final acceptance has been received from the customer. Corporate general and administrative expenses are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as incurred.


For uncompleted contracts, the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) in excess of the deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) is classified under current assets as Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) in excess of the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) is classified under current liabilities as Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts. Contract retentions are included in accounts receivable.


Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A liability (including interest if applicable) is established in the consolidated financial statements to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Applicable interest is included as a component of income tax expense and income taxes payable.


ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, the tax years 2009 through 2011 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.


The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-25-09, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The term “effectively settled” replaces the term “ultimately settled” when used to describe recognition, and the terms “settlement” or “settled” replace the terms “ultimate settlement” or “ultimately settled” when used to describe measurement of a tax position under ASC Topic 740. Topic 740-10-25-09 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred stock or other common stock equivalents. Options to purchase 960,761 and 607,791 common shares and warrants to purchase 19,807,876 and 16,020,366 common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete.


The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.


Comprehensive Income

The Company has no items of other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Accounting for Derivatives

The Company evaluates its options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Research and Development

In accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development”, expenditures for research and development of the Company’s products and services are expensed when incurred, and are included in operating expenses. The Company recognized research and development costs of $582 and $14,230 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or its financial statements.

 

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) using the average cost method. The inventory on hand as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 consists of motors, controllers, miscellaneous refrigeration parts and raw gasket material at costs of $221,548 (net of $-0- allowance ) and $473,451 (net of $25,000 allowance), respectively. The Company does not have any work in progress.

Technology License

On May 16, 2011, the Company purchased a license to energy conservation technology known as “SwitchGenie”. The purchase price was $100,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.18 per share, which was the market price on the transaction closing date. The license also requires the Company to pay a royalty based upon SwitchGenie sales. The Company had prepaid $68,213 in royalties against the license as of December 31, 2011 which was included in prepaid expenses. The Company was amortizing the cost of the license over the expected life of 5 years and has recorded $13,850 and $-0- of amortization expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company returned the technology license to the licensor in exchange for 75,000 shares of common stock and terminated the exclusive license and entered into a non-exclusive license and supply agreement.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 for fair value measurements of all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis consisted of the following at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Company estimates the fair value of the warrant derivative liability utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected warrant term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected warrant term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected warrant term, and the expected dividend yield rate over the expected warrant term. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to estimate the fair value of the warrant derivative liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The expected warrant term is based on the remaining contractual term. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related warrant at the valuation date. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the fair value would increase if a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.


There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and current liabilities, are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.


Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies


On March 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the employment agreements of Dr. Johnny R. Thomas and John C. Francis.  Each of their employment agreements dated September 1, 2010 were amended effective February 1, 2011, to increase their annual salaries by $75,000.  Johnny R. Thomas’s salary increased from $99,000 to $174,000 and John Francis’s salary from $75,000 to $150,000.


Johnny R. Thomas and John C. Francis were each awarded five-year performance warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares each at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  The warrants will vest if and when the Company achieves certain revenues, net income and/or EBITDA milestones for four trailing quarters.  For each executive officer, a total of 412,500 warrants vest upon four different milestones when annual revenues exceed revenue milestones increasing from $50 to $200 million.  Achieving net income levels in excess of $0.20/share to more than $0.50/share will vest 262,500 warrants upon four different milestones.  The remaining 325,000 warrants will vest upon four different milestones when the Company’s EBITDA performance exceeds $0.40/share to more than $1.00 per share. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Francis also have the right  to vest the warrants by exercising the warrants. Accordingly the value of the warrants has been expensed in the financial statements. In November 2012 the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.01 per share, the term of warrants were extended to 10 years and the vesting criteria was amended to remove the milestone criteria and to effectively vest immediately.

 

Any warrants not vested for one milestone period are added on a cumulative basis to the following increment for potential vesting at the next milestone.  In the event that an officer is terminated without cause: (i) he shall receive a cash settlement of $75,000, and (ii) 50% of all unvested warrants issued under his employment agreement, as amended, shall vest immediately.  Except as set forth herein, the respective employment agreements remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)


The Company recorded compensation expense of $4,307,594 and $7,809,893 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with these stock warrants and options.


The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was established in 2012 and 2011 for the full amount of our deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization. Management believes that based upon its projection of future taxable operating income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2012. The net changes in the valuation allowance during the year was an increase of $1,746,800 in 2012.


At December 31, 2012, the Company had $8,853,000 of net operating loss carry forwards which will expire in various years through 2032. Under the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when there has been a change in an entity’s ownership of 50 percent or greater, utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a result of the Company’s equity transactions, the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes. Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization and in the event we have a change of ownership, utilization of the carry forwards could be restricted.

Francis were each awarded five-year performance warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares each at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  The warrants will vest if and when the Company achieves certain revenues, net income and/or EBITDA milestones for four trailing quarters.  For each executive officer, a total of 412,500 warrants vest upon four different milestones when annual revenues exceed revenue milestones increasing from $50 to $200 million.  Achieving net income levels in excess of $0.20/share to more than $0.50/share will vest 262,500 warrants upon four different milestones.  The remaining 325,000 warrants will vest upon four different milestones when the Company’s EBITDA performance exceeds $0.40/share to more than $1.00 per share. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Francis also have the right  to vest the warrants by exercising the warrants accordingly the value of the warrants has been expensed in the financial statements. In November 2012 the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.01 per share , the term of warrants were extended to 10 years and the vesting criteria was amended to remove the milestone criteria and to effectively vest immediately.

The Company has recognized revenues of $3,858,020 for the year ended December 31, 2011 for Castrovilla. The Company has recognized a net loss $608,367 for the year ended December 31, 2011 for Castrovilla.


In the acquisition the Company issued an aggregate of 1,011,095 shares of its Common Stock, initially valued at $1.68 per share or $1,700,000 on the date the agreement was made, to the stockholders of Castrovilla, Inc. in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Castrovilla, Inc.  All of the 1,279,762 shares issued in the Castrovilla Acquisition (collectively,  the “Company Shares”) are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements, as amended.  The two Castrovilla, Inc. stockholders, John Pink, who continues as President of Castrovilla, Inc. and Adam Sweeney, together with Humitech (the “Stockholders”) could not sell any of the Company Shares for a six-month period beginning on the Effective Date of the  Plan of January 1, 2011 and ending on June 30, 2011.  Thereafter and ending June 30, 2013, the three stockholders may sell up to 2,461 Company Shares per trading day in the aggregate until all Company Shares are sold (the “Lock-up Period”).  The Company contingently guaranteed (the “Guaranty”) to the Stockholders the net sales price of $1.68 per share, provided the Stockholders are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lock-up Agreement and the hereinafter described performance criteria are met.




F-30






BLUE EARTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011


Note 12. Acquisition of Subsidiaries (Continued)


A number of shares equal in value to fifty percent (50%) of the profits, if any, from the sale of shares above $3.36 per share during the Lock-up Period will be returned to the Company.  Any deficit from sales below $1.68 per share shall be paid (i) 50% in cash, and (ii) the remaining 50% in either cash or shares of Common Stock of the Company provided certain Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) performance criteria are achieved as discussed in the next paragraph  (at their then current fair market value, or any combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the party making the payment).


In the event that Castrovilla Inc.'s EBITDA during the Lock-up Period is less than the budgeted amount of $722,000 of EBITDA per year for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the $1.68 per share guaranteed price shall be decreased by the same percentage decrease that EBITDA is below the projected $722,000 of EBITDA.  All of such calculations will be in accordance with GAAP and derived from the Company’s reviewed financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters of the fiscal year and audited financial statements for the full year.


The targeted EBITDA for the 12-month period from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 is $722,000, or $180,500 per quarter (the quarterly rate of $180,500 is a constant for each quarter through to the end of the Lock-up/Guarantee period).  Therefore,  the Targeted EBITDA for the 12-months ended December 31, 2011, was $722,000. The targeted EBITDA for each subsequent 12 month period shall be $722,000, which shall be compared to the actual performance for the most recent 12 month reporting period as illustrated above and multiplied times $1.68 to arrive at the guaranteed share price, if any. These targeted amounts may be reduced if a majority of the Board of Directors agree on budget changes which require an acceleration of expenses thereby affecting a current year’s budgeted EBITDA. No adjustment in the targeted amounts for guarantee purposes has been made and none is contemplated at this time. The Company does not anticipate any guaranty prior to April of 2012, due to the decision to expand Castrovilla's operations into several new states.


In addition, under the Plan, the Company paid $50,000 to an unaffiliated third party for an existing obligation of Castrovilla, Inc. The above described Castrovilla Acquisition was completed on January 19, 2011, with an effective date of January 1, 2011.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan described above, Castrovilla Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Castrovilla, Inc., the Surviving Corporation, on January 21, 2011.

 

Xnergy, Inc. and Subsidiary


On September 7, 2011 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Xnergy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary HVAC Controls & Specialties, Inc., a Carlsbad, California based energy services company (“Xnergy’). Simultaneously, the Company purchased all of the membership interests of ecoLegacy, LLC (“eco”), a California limited liability company, which serves as a financing vehicle for Xnergy. Xnergy provides a broad range of energy solutions including specialized mechanical engineering and the design, construction and implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure outsourcing, power generation and energy supply and risk management.  Xnergy also provides comprehensive maintenance and service programs, including every aspect of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), mechanical systems for design-build to repair and retrofit services.


Xnergy has an alternative energy project pipeline opportunity of approximately $585 million. The projects are all located in California and the target clients are those that have a premium credit rating and have large energy needs. These candidates include hotels/casinos, industrial manufacturing, life sciences, telecommunications, medical, churches, pharma and public facilities. The $585 million alternative energy project pipeline is comprised of designing, building, implementing and servicing three cutting-edge alternative energy technologies: Solar PV, Geothermal and Fuel Cells.


The Company issued 4,500,000 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Xnergy valued at $3.00 per share in the merger agreement. However, the common shares were subsequently valued at $1.72 per share for accounting purposes based upon the average closing price of the Company’s common stock from September 8, 2011 through trading on September 26, 2011.  The Company also assumed the obligation of $1,415,088 due to a former shareholder of Xnergy for the purchase of his shares by the exchanging shareholders of Xnergy. The Company assumed $143,681 of debt as the consideration for the purchase of ecoLegacy, a California limited liability company. Hence, for valuation purposes, the proper price/share for accounting purposes is $1.72/share or $7,740,000 for the shares plus the cash component as stated above.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.


The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.7502 provides that:


1.) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


2.) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


3). To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.


The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 provides that:


1). Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751 subsection 2; may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances.  The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders; (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.



II-1






2).  The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.


3).  The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action, and, (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.


Our Corporate By-Laws at Article XI, provide that the Corporation has accepted a provision indemnifying to the full extent permitted by the law, thereby eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, officers, employees or corporate agents for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, but such provision must not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (a) Acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of law; or (b) the payments of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statute 78.300.


INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 MAY BE PERMITTED TO OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE FORGOING PROVISIONS OR OTHERWISE, WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT, IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THAT ACT AND IS, THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.

(49) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or' on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and


(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.


(6) (i)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.  

 

(ii)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial   bona fide   offering thereof.






II-9






(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
