BLUE EARTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated

Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2015 and 2014, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited financial statements, as amended. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


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 June 30, 2015 consists of battery and battery components of $475,714. The inventory is valued net of an allowance of $6,188 as of June 30, 2015. The Company does not have any work in progress.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition


Construction Revenues: Revenue from certain long-term, integrated project management contracts to provide solar and CHP construction and completion services is reported on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Progress is generally based upon physical progress related to contractually defined units of work. At the outset of each contract, we prepare a detailed analysis of our estimated cost to complete the project. Risks related to service delivery, usage, productivity, and other factors are considered in the estimation process. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit or loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of total contract value, change orders, and claims, less costs incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the total estimated contract profit times the current percentage completed for the contract.


Service Contracts: Revenue from service contracts is recognized once the Company has established that (i) there is evidence of an arrangement, (ii) delivery has occurred and the performance obligation is substantially complete; (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is probable.


Product Sales: Product sales revenues are recognized revenues when: (i) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, (ii) the sales terms are fixed and determinable, (iii) title and risk of loss have transferred, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured . Generally customers are invoiced upon delivery, installation and acceptance of the product by the customer.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (continued)


Series D Preferred Stock

The Company has issued 400,000 shares of its $10.00 per share Series D preferred stock as tertiary collateral against the line of credit. The Series D preferred shares are issued, but not presently outstanding.  The Series D preferred shares certificate is held by a third party and the lender does not have access to the certificate without the consent and cooperation of the Company.  Solely in the event of a default by the Company of its payment obligations under the terms of the line of credit, a block of the Series D preferred shares would be released and converted into common shares in accordance the formula provided in the line of credit agreement. The sufficient common shares would be sold by the lender to cure the default. Upon the repayment of the line of credit the Series D preferred stock will be returned to the Company and cancelled. The Series D preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common stock by dividing the amount of any payment under a monetary default by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for 10 business days immediately prior to a conversion, but in no event to exceed 2,500,000 shares until first obtaining shareholder approval.


Related Party Notes Payable

The related party notes payable, totaling $1,333,147, are due on demand, accrue interest at 12% per annum and are unsecured.


Convertible Note Payable

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 on a convertible note payable. The note payable was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. However, on May 13, 2015, the convertible note payable was amended to increase the conversion price to $1.02 per share. The convertible note payable accrues interest at 12% per annum and is due on September 10, 2015. The convertible note payable is secured by all the assets of the Company except for the Sumter Heat and Power CHP plant and the Melga Solar Projectand is also guaranteed by each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, other than the two just mentioned. The Company received net proceeds of $9,953,068 after closing costs. The $46,932 in legal fees withheld from the loan proceeds are included in prepaid expenses and are being amortized over the 6 month term of the convertible note payable.


The lender received 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $226,000 as consideration for making the loan. The lender also received 2,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.02 per share (amended from $1.00 per share). The value of the warrants measured by the Company was $1,321,600. The value was computed using the Black-Scholes formula with a 5 year maturity, 1.62% risk free rate and a  94.46% volatility.  The lender also received the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.02 per share (amended from $1.00 per share) upon the Company’s repayment of all or part of the convertible note payable.

NOTE 5 - 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.


There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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.


Assets:


On December 15, 2014, the Company purchased 639.25 natural gas option contracts for $2,429,150, to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in natural gas price in connection with its CHP facility in Alberta, Canada. The gas delivery dates range from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022. At each reporting date the Company revalues the options to the NYMEX-NG last trade value. The Company recorded a loss of $174,555 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, on the value of contracts.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Arbitrations

During 2014, the Company and two consultants filed demands for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. On August 8, 2015,  the Company and two consultants received the award from the arbitrator in the Company's arbitration with two of its consultants/former employees, who had voluntarily resigned. The arbitrator awarded the two consultants damages of $1,270,000; $101,243 for breach of contract; certain declaratory relief upholding the validity of the consulting agreement; and reimbursement of the consultants' attorney's fees and costs incurred in the arbitration of $341,375. The award is a Type 1 subsequent event accordingly the Company’s financial statements are restated to reflect the award on a retroactive basis.


During 2014 the Company filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association and National Energy Partners LLC (“NEP”) and its subsidiary, Hawaii Solar LLC (“HS”) counterclaimed. The Company subsequently initiated two actions in the First Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii, the first titled Xnergy and Blue Earth, Inc. vs. Hawaii Solar, LLC. National Energy Partners, LLC, et al., Civil No. M-1-1694-08 (JHC) (the “Xnergy Action’) and the second titled Blue Earth Solar, Inc. vs. State of Hawaii, Department of Education, et al. The parties agreed to attempt to resolve their dispute through arbitration administered by Dispute Prevention and Resolution (the “DOE Action”). On August 30, 2015, the parties to the above Xnergy Action, DOE Action and DPR Arbitration entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release and a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement conditioned upon subsequent Board of Directors approval by the Company which was obtained on September 3, 2015.  The Settlement Agreement provides for the Company to:  (a) pay $500,000 to HS (a portion of which will be paid by the Company’s insurance carrier), and (b) issue shares valued at $325,000 at a price of $0.88 per share to be registered with the SEC within sixty (60) days of the issuance of the shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, all shares will be restricted for six (6) months, unless registered sooner and upon registration or expiration of the six-month period, seller may sell up to 10,000 shares per day and 50,000 shares per week on a non-cumulative basis. The parties exchanged mutual releases and will dismiss all claims upon payment to HS. The settlement is a Type 1 subsequent event accordingly the Company’s financial statements are restated to reflect the award on a retroactive basis.

Equipment Purchase Commitments

The Company has entered into equipment purchase agreements whereby it has committed to paying approximately $19,536,518 for electrical co-generation equipment. The Company has made deposits of approximately $16,183,490 (83% of the total commitment) toward the purchase of the equipment which is included in construction in progress-property and equipment. The balance of the purchase price will be due upon acceptance of the equipment by the Company in accordance with progress payments as set out in the purchase contracts.


Pending Litigation

On October 24, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, two executive officers, and one non-executive officer in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Case No:2:14-cv-08263). On January 21, 2015, the court appointed a Lead Plaintiff and Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel. The Court also re-captioned the case In re Blue Earth, Inc. Securities Litigation, File No. CV 14-8263 DSF (JEMx). On March 13, 2105, plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). The FAC alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s stock during the period from October 7, 2013 through October 21, 2014. Defendants responded and filed a motion to dismiss FAC. Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion has been submitted and Defendants have submitted a reply to the opposition. Oral arguments regarding the motion to dismiss are scheduled for October 2015. The Company believes the claims contained in the complaint are without merit and is vigorously defending the matter.


On August 31, 2015, a derivative lawsuit was filed in Nevada state court, captioned Powell v. Cagan, et al., No. A-15-723839-C (8th Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada).  It names as defendants Brett Woodard, Johnny R. Thomas, John C. Francis, and the entire Board of Directors. It also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint brings claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets, from October 2013 to the present based on directors and management allegedly allowing the company to make false and misleading statements to the public, thereby resulting in a class action lawsuit and exposing the Company to damages.  The defendants have not yet been served. The Company believes the claims contained in the complaint are without merit and will vigorously defend this matter.


NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


During April 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to focus the Company’s financial resources on its business units that are scalable. Accordingly the Board of Directors decided to discontinue the Blue Earth Energy Management Services, Inc. (BEEMS) subsidiary. The decision was to sell any parts of BEEMS for which a buyer could be found and to shut down those parts that were not salable. On May 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) for the website component of BEEMS. Pursuant to the Agreement, the buyers purchased from the Company, the website, the related inventory and certain intangible assets for cash of $450,000 and $125,000 in the form of a promissory note. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of BEEMS as discontinued. On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) for the service component of BEEMS. Pursuant to the APA, the buyers purchased the service vehicles, service assets and contracts and related inventory for cash of $216,711 plus a two-year earn-out agreement for up to an additional $250,000.

NOTE 9 - OPERATING SEGMENTS


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate and discreet financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in assessing performance and determining how to best allocate Company resources. The Company’s chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the business plan, budgets, profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.


The Company historically has had two principal operating segments: (1) technology and (2) construction of energy facilities owned by third parties. During the second quarter of 2015, a third segment was introduced when power and heat was produced from facilities built and owned by the Company. These operating segments were delineated based on the nature of the products and services offered.


The Company evaluates the financial performance of the respective segments based on several factors, of which the primary measure is business segment income before taxes. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. No restatement of prior period operating segments is necessary as a result of the new third segment. The following tables show the operations of the Company’s reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.


LITIGATION DISCLOSURE STATEMENT


False allegations have been made against the Company by an anonymous blogger that stated he has a short position in the Company’s common stock, which has resulted in a class action lawsuit.  The Company has hired professionals to assist in communications and defense against the false allegations.  Management has been advised by counsel to continue to announce significant developments and milestones as they occur.  However, management has also been cautioned to avoid forecasts and detailed forward-looking statements for all of our solar, energy efficiency, technology and CHP business units.  Our general policy will be to release information as appropriate when significant events occur that define the event in the context of our business model.  Management continues to have confidence in our business model and in our ability to create shareholder value over time.


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.


Company Overview


Blue Earth, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a comprehensive provider of alternative/renewable power  generation solutions for small and medium sized commercial facilities and industrial facilities. The Company also owns, manages and operates independent power generation systems constructed in conjunction with these services.


The Company has expanded its comprehensive power generation solutions offerings 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 PPS, Blue Earth Capital and Blue Earth EPS. Blue Earth EPS and Blue Earth PPS are part of the Technology operating segments.  Blue Earth Solar and Blue Earth CHP are part of the Construction operating segments.




19



As heat and power sales come online from facilities owned and built by the Company’s Blue Earth CHP and Blue Earth Solar business units, a third operating segment has been introduced called Heat and Power Production. The primary strategic objective for the respective business units is to provide services which establish and build brand awareness about the comprehensive alternative/renewable power generation solutions provided by the Company to its existing and future customers.


The Blue Earth Solar unit of the Company has built and owned a 500,000 watt solar powered facility on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, which it sold in 2014. It has also built, operates and manages seven solar powered facilities in California and is designing and permitting numerous other projects. Our turnkey power solutions enable our customers to reduce or stabilize their power related expenditures and lessen the impact of their power use on the environment. Our services offered include the development, engineering, construction, operation and periodic warranty maintenance and in certain cases, financing of small and medium scale renewable power plants primarily solar photovoltaic (PV). Although the Company has a limited operating history and limited revenues in comparison to the size of the projects it has undertaken, as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, it is staffed with experienced solar personnel.


The Blue Earth CHP unit builds, owns, operates and/or sells the power plants or builds them for the customer to own. As we continue to expand our core power generation business as an independent power producer (IPP), we intend to sell the electricity, hot water, heat and cooling generated by the power plants that we own under long-term energy purchase agreements to utilities and long-term take or pay contracts to our industrial customers. The Company also intends to finance alternative and renewable power projects through industry relationships. Our first power plant located in Sumter, SC was energized on March 30, 2015 establishing the Company as an independent power producer. Blue Earth CHP added personnel and facilities enabling it to develop, construct and maintain backup generators and cogeneration systems in the New York metropolitan area. It plans to grow the segment into other East Coast and Mid-West metropolitan markets. This broadens BE CHP’s offerings to include co-generation systems and back-up generators for large commercial buildings in addition to the large industrial manufacturing facilities already served by BE CHP.


Proprietary technologies owned by the Company are the PeakPower® System (Blue Earth PPS unit) and the UPStealth® System (Blue Earth EPS unit). 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  with a potential market of thousands of facilities, such as super markets and food processing, restaurants and C-stores, drug and discount stores.  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, unscheduled and costly service calls.


Management believes based on its knowledge of the industry, that the patent pending UPStealth® System is the only energy efficient, intelligent Nickel Zinc digital battery backup management system that was designed to power signalized traffic intersections during loss of utility power.  This system has been tested, approved and installed in several cities and municipalities throughout the United States.  The UPStealth® System 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 innovative 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, the total cost of ownership for the UPStealth® is typically 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 we believe both of our proprietary technologies can be applied, separately, or in combination, as a viable, cost effective solution. Examples include: back-up energy storage systems 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.

Actual Results of Operations


Our revenues are derived from professional service contracts to provide, the construction of energy facilities owned by third parties and the sale of our proprietary technologies. During the second quarter of 2015 we added the third revenue stream, Power Genereration, from heat and power sales generated from facilities built and owned by the Company. During the second quarter of 2015 we discontinued the Blue Earth Energy Management, Inc. (BEEMS) business unit as the Company is focusing its efforts and resources on its core energy generation business units. All of the operating results as presented below have been restated to reflect the operations of as discontinued.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2014


Revenues


The Company recognized $3,576,400 of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $1,889,184 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,687,216 or 89%. The current year’s revenues represent sales from the Company’s divisions Technology ($194,417), Construction ($3,380,384) and Power Generation ($1,599). During the second quarter of 2015, we added the third revenue stream, Power Generation, from heat and power sales generated from facilities built and owned by the Company. The prior year’s revenues represent sales from the Company’s divisions Technology ($228,378) and Construction ($1,660,808). Technology sales include the UPStealth® battery backup management systems.  Construction sales are from installation of alternative energy systems and maintenance of CHP systems. Construction's revenues increased due to work on the solar generation project in Indiana.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit


Costs of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $3,208,867 resulting in a gross profit of $367,533 or 10% of revenues. Technology had a gross profit of $5,586 or 3% compared to a profit of $360,348 or 11% for Construction. By comparison, during 2014 we had a cost of sales of $1,569,616 with a gross profit of $319,568 or 17%. Technology had a gross profit of $138,671 or 61% compared to $180,897 or 11% for Construction. Power Generation had a gross profit of $1,599 in 2015 compared to $-0- in 2014.


Operating Expenses


General and Administrative Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization Expense


Operating expenses were $6,295,010 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $4,846,051 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,448,959 or 30%.  In 2015, approximately $707,006 (11%) of the operating expenses were from Technology, $2,440,018 (39%) were from Construction and $14,442 (0%) from Power Generation. The balance of $3,133,544 (50%) for 2015 was corporate administrative expense. Approximately $1,299,937 (21%) of the operating expenses was for payroll costs and $1,488,555 (24%) was for consulting and professional fees in 2015. The increase in operating expenses for 2015 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees as a result of the ongoing litigation and fees paid to employment agencies.


In 2014 approximately $1,589,222 (33%) of the operating expenses were from Technology and $1,463,502 (30%) were from Construction. The balance of $1,793,327 (37%) for 2014 was corporate administrative expense. Approximately $1,260,638 (26%) of the operating expenses was for payroll costs and $841,848 (17%) was for professional fees in 2014.



21




In 2015, operating expenses include stock compensation expense of $972,290 (15%) compared to $1,476,802 (30%) in 2014. We recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $1,075,146 in 2015 compared to $1,076,938 in 2014.


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 June 30, 2015 was $(328,204) compared to $(91,305) for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense of $247,993and a loss from the equity investment in Power Genix of $1,064,490 offset by a gain on settlement of litigation of $988,882 compared to $95,463, $-0- and $-0-, respectively, during 2014.


Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders


Net loss was $6,505,381 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with a net loss of $4,711,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,793,539.  Excluding the non cash expenses of common stock issued for services and from the amortization of intangible assets acquired for stock and stock options/warrants issued for services, the loss would have been $4,449,788 and $2,185,994 for 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for 2015 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees as a result of the ongoing litigation and fees paid to employment agencies.


The net loss attributed to common shareholders was $6,505,381 in 2015 compared to $5,808,657 in 2014 due to the dividends of $1,096,815 accrued on the Series C preferred stock and paid in common shares during 2014.  The Series C preferred shares were all converted into common shares by June 30, 2014 so no additional dividends were incurred in the succeeding periods.  The net loss translates to $0.07 per share in 2015 ($0.00 per share from discontinued operations) compared to $0.07 ($0.00 per share from discontinued operations) in 2014.  


Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2014


Revenues


The Company recognized $7,328,414 of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $3,768,352 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $3,560,062 or 94%. The current year’s revenues represent sales from the Company’s divisions Technology ($248,270), Construction ($7,078,545) and Power Generation ($1,599).  During the second quarter of 2015, we added the third revenue stream, Power Generation, from heat and power sales generated from facilities built and owned by the Company.  The prior year’s revenues represent sales from the Company’s divisions Technology ($281,235) and Construction ($3,487,117). Technology sales include the UPStealth® battery backup management systems.  Construction sales are from installation of alternative energy systems and maintenance of CHP systems. Construction's revenues increased due to work on the solar generation project in Indiana.

The increase was primarily attributable to a gain of $1,978,660 from the settlement of threatened and actual litigation in the first half of 2015 compared to $-0- in the second quarter of 2014.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders


Net loss was $12,812,264 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared with a net loss of $10,398,302 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $2,413,962.  Excluding the non cash expenses of common stock issued for services and from the amortization of intangible assets acquired for stock and stock options/warrants issued for services, the loss would have been $8,257,216 and $6,105,878 for 2015 and 2014, respectively.   The increase in operating expenses for 2015 was primarily due an increase in professional fees as a result of the ongoing litigation and fees paid to employment agencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of June 30,  2015 compared with December 31, 2014


Net cash used in continuing operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $4,753,575 and resulted primarily from the operating expenses associated with the activities of the parent company related to carrying out our business plan.  In addition to a net loss of $12,812,264, we incurred an increase in construction in progress of $371,955 and prepaid expenses of $288,341 that was partially offset by common stock options and warrants granted for services expensed at $2,152,498, common stock issued for services valued at $567,104 and depreciation and amortization of $2,402,550. We also decreased our accounts receivable by $1,240,336, restricted cash by $612,075 and increased accounts payable by $506,805.  We expect to continue with a negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue to build our business.


Net cash used in continuing operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $6,994,038 and resulted primarily from the operating expenses associated with the activities of the parent company related to carrying out our business plan.  In addition to a net loss of $10,398,302, we incurred an increase in accounts receivable and billings in excess of $1,173,880 and a decrease in accounts payable of $1,227,546. These outflows were partially offset by common stock warrants and options granted for services expensed at $2,010,037, common stock issued for services valued at $1,327,034, and depreciation and amortization of $2,282,386.  


Net cash used in continuing investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $9,030,148 which included $8,730,449 for purchases of equipment and $400,000 invested in an equity subsidiary. Net cash used in continuing investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $2,626,651, of which $2,688,446 was used for purchases of equipment.


Net cash provided by continuing financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $12,635,827 and resulted from $2,911,700 of proceeds from the line of credit and $9,953,068 of proceeds from the convertible note payable. The cash inflows were partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $228,941.  Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $5,496,416. These inflows primarily came from $5,568,957 from common stock subscriptions and $1,145,880 of gross proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants. The inflows were offset by payments on notes payable of $1,398,039 and notes payable to related parties of $4,004.


At June 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $11,461,135 including $2,005,330 in cash and cash equivalents compared with working capital of $3,815,291 at December 31, 2014.  We anticipate our revenue generating activities to continue and even increase as we execute on our alternative/renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives as well as from future acquisitions. The decrease in working capital was the result of our investment in CHP projects.


Our ability to execute our business plan 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. Nonetheless, the Company expects that it has sufficient cash and fund raising capacity to meet its working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s project financing requirements are separate and apart from our working capital needs.


On February 22, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement with a $10 million line of credit of which $1,500,000 was funded and repaid during 2013 and $3,000,000 was funded and repaid in 2014. $4,000,000 is currently available upon our meeting the terms and conditions of the credit facility of which a draw of $3,000,000 was taken on February 24, 2015. Additional draws are subject to approval of the planned use of proceeds by the lender in order to borrow against the facility.  The Company has elected to not draw down any additional funds at this time. The line of credit is secured by one CHP projects and by one solar project and accrues interest at 12% per annum.


On March 10, 2015, we issued a 6 month convertible note payable for $10,000,000. The note payable was convertible into shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share at the noteholder’s option. We granted 2,000,000 stock purchase warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share as consideration for the convertible note payable. On May 13, 2015, the convertible note payable and warrants were amended changing the conversion and exercise price to $1.02 per share at the direction of NASDAQ in order for the Company to maintain its listing. The convertible note payable is secured by all of our assets except one CHP project and one solar project and accrues interest at 12% per annum.



24




The $10 million Senior Convertible Note was paid on September 10, 2015. On September 10, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which a 15% senior secured note (the “September Note”) in the principal amount of $10,600,000 was issued, due February 29, 2016 to Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“Jackson”). The September Note was issued to repay and refinance in full the 12% senior secured convertible note due September 10, 2015 and issued on March 10, 2015 (the “March Note”), including $600,000 of accrued interest under the March Note. The September Note was issued solely as a result of unexpected construction delays outside of the parties’ control at the Brooks Heat & Power CHP facility being constructed and now collateralized by the September Note.


Neither the September Note, nor interest accrued thereon, is convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company. The 2,000,000 stock purchase warrants granted to Jackson by the Company on March 10, 2015 remain unchanged and are exercisable until March 10, 2020.


Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from the sales of our equity securities. We intend to seek additional equity and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan.  We raised $22,710,411 from equity financing during the year ended December 31, 2014.  We have a line of credit for $10,000,000 of which $4,000,000 is available and we are currently using $3,000,000 to meet our cash needs.  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


The Company had no significant related party transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company owes $1,333,147 plus accrued interest to a director for funds borrowed in prior periods.


New Accounting Pronouncements


See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.


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.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow time decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent quarter ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. There have been no substantive changes in any legal proceedings described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014; and we are not involved in any other material pending legal proceeding or litigation, except as set forth below, and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.


On October 24, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, two executive officers, and one non-executive officer in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Case No:2:14-cv-08263). On January 21, 2015, the court appointed a Lead Plaintiff and Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel. The Court also re-captioned the case In re Blue Earth, Inc. Securities Litigation , File No. CV 14-8263 DSF (JEMx). On March 13, 2105, plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). The FAC alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s stock during the period from October 7, 2013 through October 21, 2014. Defendants responded and filed a motion to dismiss FAC. Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion has been submitted and Defendants have submitted a reply to the opposition. Oral arguments regarding the motion to dismiss are scheduled for October 2015. The Company believes the claims contained in the complaint are without merit and is vigorously defending the matter.


On August 31, 2015, a derivative lawsuit was filed in Nevada state court, captioned Powell v. Cagan, et al., No. A-15-723839-C (8th Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada).  It names as defendants Brett Woodard, Johnny R. Thomas, John C. Francis, and the entire Board of Directors.  It also names the Company as a nominal defendant.  The complaint brings claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets, from October 2013 to the present based on directors and management allegedly allowing the company to make false and misleading statements to the public, thereby resulting in a class action lawsuit and exposing the Company to damages.  The defendants have not yet been served.  The Company believes the claims contained in the complaint are without merit and will vigorously defend this matter.

During 2014, the Company and two consultants filed demands for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. On August 8, 2015,  the Company and two consultants received the award from the arbitrator in the Company's arbitration with two of its consultants/former employees, who had voluntarily resigned. The arbitrator awarded the two consultants damages of $1,270,000; $101,243 for breach of contract; certain declaratory relief upholding the validity of the consulting agreement; and reimbursement of the consultants' attorney's fees and costs incurred in the arbitration of $341,375. The award is a Type 1 subsequent event; accordingly the Company’s financial statements are restated to reflect the award on a retroactive basis.


During 2014 the Company filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association and National Energy Partners LLC (“NEP”) and its subsidiary, Hawaii Solar LLC (“HS”) counterclaimed. The Company subsequently initiated two actions in the First Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii, the first titled Xnergy and Blue Earth, Inc. vs. Hawaii Solar, LLC. National Energy Partners, LLC, et al., Civil No. M-1-1694-08 (JHC) (the “Xnergy Action’) and the second titled Blue Earth Solar, Inc. vs. State of Hawaii, Department of Education, et al. The parties agreed to attempt to resolve their dispute through arbitration administered by Dispute Prevention and Resolution (the “DOE Action”). On August 30, 2015, the parties to the above Xnergy Action, DOE Action and DPR Arbitration entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release and a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement conditioned upon subsequent Board of Directors approval by the Company which was obtained on September 3, 2015.  The Settlement Agreement provides for the Company to:  (a) pay $500,000 to HS (a portion of which will be paid by the Company’s insurance carrier), and (b) issue shares valued at $325,000 at a price of $0.88 per share to be registered with the SEC within sixty (60) days of the issuance of the shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement, all shares will be restricted for six (6) months, unless registered sooner and upon registration or expiration of the six-month period, seller may sell up to 10,000 shares per day and 50,000 shares per week on a non-cumulative basis.  The parties exchanged mutual releases and will dismiss all claims upon payment to HS. The settlement is a Type 1 subsequent event accordingly the Company’s financial statements are restated to reflect the award on a retro-active basis.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.  


There have been no material changes from risk factors previously reported in the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2014, as amended.


ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
