EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment on Form 10-Q amends the Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Original Report”) and is being filed by Blue Earth, Inc. (the “Company”) to correct certain clerical errors that occurred in the filing of the Original Report.
 
In the process of filing the Original Report, a clerical error made on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 was perpetuated in the Original Report.  For specific details of the error, refer to the Form 10K/A filed for the year ended December 31, 2010.  As a result of that error, the Original Report contained errors in certain numbers contained within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

This amended Form 10-Q corrects errors related to the above mentioned error which affected the amount of Additional Paid-in Capital and Accumulated Deficit for the period ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 in both the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

Additionally, all references to the Company’s net loss for the period ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 and retained earnings as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in narrative sections of the Original Report have been corrected where applicable.
 
Unless expressly noted otherwise, the disclosures in this Form 10-Q/A continue to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and do not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report.  For additional information on subsequent events, the reader should refer to the Forms 8-K the Company has filed in 2011.  The filing of this Form 10-Q/A shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Report, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011


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 March 31, 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 period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 March 31, 2011 consists of motors, controllers, miscellaneous refrigeration parts and raw gasket material at costs of $173,947. An allowance for obsolete inventory has been recorded for $25,000, resulting in net inventory of $148,947.  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.

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.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Acquisition of Subsidiary
On December 30, 2010, Castrovilla Energy, Inc., a recently formed California subsidiary of Blue Earth, Inc. entered into agreements, subject to final Board approval, to acquire substantially all of the assets of Humitech of Northern California, LLC (“Humitech”), a California limited liability company and its related company, Castrovilla, Inc.  Founded in 2004, Castrovilla based in Mountain View, California, had approximately $3.5 million in unaudited revenues in 2010, which is more than twice its 2008.  Castrovilla serves approximately 5,400 small commercial businesses in Northern California with its 25 employees.  Castrovilla manufactures, sells and installs commercial refrigerator and freezer gaskets and sells and installs motors and controls.  Castrovilla’s strategy is to sell lighting and HVAC bundled retrofits to its customer base.

Notes to Financial Statements

Acquisition of Subsidiary (Continued)
Castrovilla participates in several ratepayer funded utility energy efficiency rebate programs, both through third-party programs and through its own small commercial business program, Keep Your Cool.  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 nearly 30 years.  Since 2009, Castrovilla has operated an online store to sell a variety of refrigeration products on both a wholesale and retail basis.

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 and the issuance of 267,857 shares of restricted Common Stock of Blue Earth, Inc. with an agreed upon value of $450,000, or $1.68 per share, the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock from September 1-23, 2010 when the terms of the transaction were agreed to.  The Company also assumed trade debt of approximately $121,000.  Humitech will remain an unaffiliated non-operating entity in order to pay its other liabilities with the proceeds of the shares received from the Company, as well as from an inter-company note in the amount of $331,579 from Castrovilla, Inc.

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, subject to final Board approval which was obtained on January 18, 2011. CEI has merged with and into Castrovilla, Inc. which will continue its existence as a wholly-owned California subsidiary of BEEMS.  The APA and the Plan have been filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to this Current Report.

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 1,279,762 shares issued in the Castrovilla Acquisition (collectively, the “Company Shares”) are subject to Lock-up/Leak-out and Guaranty Agreements.  The two Castrovilla, Inc. stockholders, John Pink, who will continue as President of Castrovilla, Inc. and Adam Sweeney, together with Humitech (the “Stockholders”) cannot sell any of the Company Shares for a six-month period beginning on the Closing Date (defined below) of January 19, 2011 thereafter and ending 2½ years from January 19, 2011, 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 guaranteed 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.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

Acquisition of Subsidiary (Continued)
In the event of any sale of shares and/or profits from sales above $3.36 per share during the Lock-up Period the Stockholders under amendments to their Lock-Up Agreements, agreed to return to treasury shares with a fair market value then equal to the excess.  Any deficit from sales below $1.68 per share and/or profits from sales above $3.36 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 (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 below agreed to budgeted amounts of $722,000 of EBITDA per year for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011, 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.
 
In addition, under the Plan, the Company paid $50,000 to an unaffiliated third party for an existing obligation of Castrovilla, Inc.

The completion of 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 in Item 1.01 above and incorporated by reference herein, Castrovilla Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Castrovilla, Inc., the Surviving Corporation, on January 21, 2011.  On a retroactive basis, the pro-forma consolidated revenue at March 31, 2010 would have been $605,177, with a consolidated loss of $1,359,877 and consolidated loss per share of $0.08.
 
 Issuance of Common Stock
On March 21, 2011 the Company issued 72,813 shares, valued at $95,784, for the cancellation of 238,500 previously issued options. On February 13, 2011 the Company issued 100,000 shares, valued at $1.25, for director’s fees.  One half of the shares vested immediately, the remainder vest one year from issuance. Also, on February 13, 2011 the Company issued 150,000 shares valued at $1.18 for compensation.  On January 1, 2011 the Company issued 1,279,762 shares for the acquisition of its subsidiary, as described above.
 
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On March 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of Blue Earth, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the employment agreements of Dr. Johnny R. Thomas, Chief Executive Officer and John C. Francis, Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations.  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.

Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

Company Overview

Blue Earth, Inc. is engaged in the clean tech industry in general with a focus on the rapidly growing, multi-billion dollar energy efficiency sector.  Our industry classifications are as follows: Sector, Services; Industry-Diversified Services; and Subindustry-Management Services.

Blue Earth is engaged in a mergers and acquisition strategy to acquire, license, develop, market, install and monitor clean-tech related, innovative technologies and energy management systems.  These technologies are designed to enable customers to reduce their energy consumption, lower their generating 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 heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and refrigeration.   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.

The Company has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Humitech of Northern California, LLC (“Humitech”), a California limited liability company and its related company, Castrovilla, Inc.

The Company recently sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Genesis Fluid Solutions, Ltd. (GFS) to certain buyers including its former Chairman and interim CEO Michael Hodges as defined by the Stock Purchase Agreement (see Note 6).

Results of Operations

Our revenues are derived from professional services contracts to provide energy service management and technology.
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
 
Revenues

The Company recognized $907,022 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The current revenue represents sales from the newly acquired, wholly owned subsidiary Castrovilla, Inc. whose sales include retrofitting refrigeration equipment with energy management systems and gasket sales.  The Company had no revenue from operations in the prior year.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $394,742 resulting in a gross profit of $512,280, or 56% of revenues.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,296,248 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $116,443 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1,179,805, or 1,013%.  $526,545, or 40% of the total expenses were from Castrovilla Inc., with $353,844, or 67% of the Castrovilla  expenses relating to payroll expense.  On a consolidated basis, general and administrative expenses include stock compensation expense of $478,922, or 37% of total general and administrative expense, wages and salaries of $467,260, or 36% and professional fees of $123,832, or 10%.

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)

Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was ($42,744) compared to ($526,046) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the change in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability of $418,441.  The fair value is recalculated quarterly based primarily on the remaining term of the warrants and stock price volatility.
 
Net Loss

Net loss from continuing operations was $826,712 and $642,489, an increase in loss from continuing operations of $184,223, or 29%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in general and administrative expenses related to the operations of the newly acquired subsidiary and the costs related to the ongoing implementation of our business plan. The consolidated net loss decreased from $1,220,760 to $826,712, a decrease of $394,048, or 32%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2011 respectively, due primarily to the loss from discontinued operations of $578,271 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  There was no loss from discontinued operations recorded for the period ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $429,270 and resulted primarily from the operating expenses associated with the parent company related to carrying out our business plan.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $152,240 and resulted from $150,000 paid in the acquisition of the subsidiary and $2,240 for the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $367,426 and resulted from $404,333 of cash in the new subsidiary offset by payments on notes payable of $36,907.

At March 31, 2011, we had working capital of $2,282,425 including $3,686,012 in cash and cash equivalents compared with working capital of $2,612,637 at December 31, 2010.  Our new acquisition, Castrovilla, Inc., is running cash flow positive.  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.

 
13

 

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. We completed a private placement, commencing October 30, 2009 through December 29, 2009, whereby we received net proceeds of $5,909,750, which we believe will fund our operations at least through March 2012. We do not have any lines of credit or borrowing facilities to meet our cash needs. As a result, we may not be able to continue as a going concern, without further financing, following March 2012. It is reasonably possible that we will not be able to obtain sufficient financing to continue operations. 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 March 31, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 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 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 March 31, 2011, 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.

On or about May 24, 2010, suit was filed against the Company by Michael Whaley, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Fluid Solutions, Inc. (“GFS”), in the District Court of the City and County of Denver. Plaintiff, among other things, alleged breach of contract in connection with a separation and release agreement entered into by GFS following Mr. Whaley’s departure from GFS.  Seeking a monetary judgment for more than $100,000. The Company made certain counterclaims.  The parties settled the matter in April 2011 with the Company’s payment of $55,000 in cash plus an assignment of the first $62,500 owed to Blue Earth under the royalty agreement with GFS agreed to pay another $22,500 in cash and two individuals from GFS signed personal guarantees that the full $85,000 (the Company's $62,500 royalty and their $22,500) would be paid by December 31, 2011.
 
On August 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims with Martin Hedley, its former CEO, who had asserted certain claims against the Company.  The parties exchanged mutual releases and no cash consideration was involved.
 
The litigation commenced by Big Fuel Communications, LLC in the Supreme Court, New York County as previously disclosed by the Company, has been settled by the Company with the payment of $15,000 by the Company and the exchange of mutual releases.
