Item 4.01.  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant


(a)  Resignation of Independent Registered Accounting Firm.


On July 12, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Blue Earth Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) accepted the resignation letter of Haynie & Company CPA’s (“HC”) as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.  The Company is currently a debtor in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and its pending Plan of Reorganization provides that it will not continue as a public reporting entity.


During the period of time from January 7, 2016 when HC was appointed through the date of this Form 8-K: (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and HC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.


The reports of HJ & Associates (which firm was subsequently acquired by HC) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualified opinion, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for an explanatory paragraph in the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2014, which revised their opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control on financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, as a result of management determining that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists related to the presentation and disclosure controls and that such deficiency represented a material weakness as of December 31, 2014.


The Company provided HC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested it to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether HC agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Report.  A copy of the letter has been filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.


Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits


(d)  Exhibits.  The following exhibits are furnished with this report:


16.1  Letter dated July 13, 2016, from Haynie & Company re change in certifying accountant.
