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 September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.  The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 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 September 30, 2012 consists of motors, controllers, miscellaneous refrigeration parts and raw gasket material at costs of $341,630. An allowance for obsolete inventory has been recorded for $25,000, resulting in net inventory of $316,630.  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.


Going Concern

The Company's 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. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


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 statements.

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. is engaged in a mergers and acquisition strategy in the clean-tech industry. Our primary focus is acquiring companies and innovative technologies that serve the multi billion dollar energy efficiency services and renewable energy market sectors. The targeted companies provide a variety of energy services that enable customers to reduce energy consumption, lower their generating capacity and maintenance costs and realize environmental benefits. The targeted technologies typically include various measures designed for a specific customer or facility in our target market of small commercial businesses and residences to improve the efficiency of building systems, such as refrigeration, lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning.


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.  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 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.


Management also intends to accelerate introduction of the acquired technology/products by offering and installing them through energy management service 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 companies, including acquisition agreements and/or joint venture 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 residential and small commercial business segment of the energy efficiency sector. These energy service companies specialize in three categories that address small commercial businesses energy efficiency needs: lighting  and  HVAC . The targeted acquisition candidates currently provide energy efficiency retrofit services to the small commercial 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.

Blue Earth entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) dated as of July 26, 2012, with White Horse Energy, LLC.  The PSA provides 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 is expected to be completed no later than the first quarter of 2013.  The project is valued at approximately $2 million and consists of a solar PV system mounted on the ground.  


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 valued at approximately $15 million.

Other Income (Expense)


Total other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,269,695 compared to $(681,559) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1,344,679 change in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability in 2012 compared to $(633,547) in 2011.  The fair value is recalculated quarterly based primarily on the remaining term of the warrants and stock price volatility.

 

Net Loss

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $3,599,274 and 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 $6,159,153, we incurred an increase in construction in progress of $349,120 that was partially offset by common stock and options issued for services expensed at $1,381,485, depreciation and amortization of $1,861,522 and a decrease in inventory of $156,821 as well as a decrease in prepaid expenses of $303,233.  Net cash used in continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $2,901,716 and 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 $4,177,094, we incurred an increase in accounts receivables of $170,934, inventory of $355,070 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $472,085 that was partially offset by common stock and options issued for services expensed at $1,314,929, depreciation and amortization of $505,118 and an increase in the warrant derivative liability of $633,457. 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 investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $-0-. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $746,078 primarily in acquiring Castrovilla and Xnergy.


Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $4,263,820 and resulted from $2,956,000 of gross proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and $1,208,551 of gross proceeds from notes payable. The cash inflows were offset by principal payments on notes payable of $48,934 and notes payable to related parties of $6,797.  Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $1,336,529 and resulted from $1,800,978 of cash received in the acquisition of Castrovilla and Xnergy, offset by $1,585,341 of cash used to repay notes payable.

At September 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,494,802 including $1,191,654 in cash and cash equivalents compared with a working capital deficit of $3,491,395 at December 31, 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. The increase in working capital deficit was the result of our negative cash flow from operations.


Historically, we have financed our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from the sales of our equity securities. We are seeking additional equity and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan. In 2011, we completed a private placement of preferred stock and warrants of $2,000,000 and an additional $2,956,000 as of September 30, 2012.  We do not have any lines of credit or borrowing facilities to meet our cash needs.  It is reasonably possible that we will not be able to obtain sufficient financing to continue operations beyond December 2012. 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 six months ended September 30, 2012.


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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief 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 Chief 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 September 30, 2012, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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, 2011; and we are not involved in any material pending legal proceeding or litigation 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.
