We continue to improve our balance sheet as assets and shareholder equity are $88.6M and $84M respectively. Our revenues for the first six months of 2014 increased by approximately $2.1M (45%, $6.8M vs $4.7 M) for our energy efficiency and technology and construction operating segments. This 45% increase in revenues was less than expected for the year to date. It is anticipated that our revenue growth will be substantially higher in the last two quarters of the year. Fourth quarter revenues are expected to be the highest revenue quarter by a substantial amount.  We are pleased to see the increase in consolidated gross profit. We expect to begin generating power sales when we turn on our first CHP power plant late in the third quarter” stated Johnny R. Thomas, CEO of Blue Earth, Inc.
