BLUE EARTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(fka Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc.)
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, 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, 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 September 30, 2011 consists of motors, controllers, miscellaneous refrigeration parts and raw gasket material at costs of $506,347. An allowance for obsolete inventory has been recorded for $25,000, resulting in net inventory of $481,347. 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 Companys financial position, or statements.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
Acquisition of Subsidiaries
Castrovilla, Inc.
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 audited revenues of $3,433,145 in 2010, which is more than twice its 2008 revenues. Castrovilla serves approximately 5,400 small commercial businesses in Northern California with its 30 employees. Castrovilla manufactures, sells and installs commercial refrigerator and freezer gaskets and sells and installs motors and controls.
6
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 Companys 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.
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, as amended. The two Castrovilla, Inc. stockholders, John Pink, who continues as President of Castrovilla, Inc. and Adam Sweeney, together with Humitech (the Stockholders) could not sell any of the Company Shares for a six-month period beginning on the Effective Date of the Plan of January 1, 2011 and ending on June 30, 2011. Thereafter and ending June 30, 2013, 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 contingently guaranteed (the Guaranty) 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 and the hereinafter described performance criteria are met.
A number of shares equal in value to fifty percent (50%) of the profits, if any, from the sale of shares above $3.36 per share during the Lock-up Period will be returned to the Company. Any deficit from sales below $1.68 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 provided certain Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) performance criteria are achieved as discussed in the next paragraph (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 less than the budgeted amount of $361,000 for the first six months after the Effective Date and $722,000 of EBITDA per year for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 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. All of such calculations will be in accordance with GAAP and derived from the Companys reviewed financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters of the
7
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
Acquisition of Subsidiaries (Continued)
year and the audited financials for the fourth quarter of the year. If EBITDA is zero or negative, then no Guaranty is in effect for the next quarter and the number of the Companys Shares which
could have been sold during such three-month period will not be covered by a Guaranty in the future. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Companys EBITDA was negative and therefore there is no guarantee in effect for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, no guarantees have been or will be in effect for all of fiscal 2011.
The targeted EBITDA for the 12-month period from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 is $722,000, or $180,500 per quarter (the quarterly rate of $180,500 is a constant for each quarter through to the end of the Lock-up/Guarantee period). Therefore, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2011, the Targeted EBITDA will be $361,000 plus $180,500 or $541,000; and for the 12-months ended December 31, 2011, would be $722,000. The targeted EBITDA for each subsequent 12 month period shall be $722,000, which shall be compared to the actual performance for the most recent 12 month reporting period as illustrated above and multiplied times $1.68 to arrive at the guaranteed share price, if any. These targeted amounts may be reduced if a majority of the Board of Directors agree on budget changes which require an acceleration of expenses thereby affecting a current years budgeted EBITDA. No adjustment in the targeted amounts for guarantee purposes has been made and none is contemplated at this time. The Company does not anticipate any guaranty prior to April of 2012, due to the decision to expand Castrovilla's operations into several new states.
In addition, under the Plan, the Company paid $50,000 to an unaffiliated third party for an existing obligation of Castrovilla, Inc. 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 above, Castrovilla Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Castrovilla, Inc., the Surviving Corporation, on January 21, 2011.
Xnergy, Inc. and Subsidiary
On September 7, 2011 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Xnergy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary HVAC Controls & Specialties, Inc., a Carlsbad, California based energy services company (Xnergy). Simultaneously, the Company purchased all of the membership interests of ecoLegacy, LLC (eco), a California limited liability company, which serves as a financing vehicle for Xnergy. Xnergy provides a broad range of energy solutions including specialized mechanical engineering and 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.
Xnergy has an alternative energy project pipeline opportunity of approximately $585 million. The projects are all located in California and the target clients are those that have a premium credit rating and have large energy needs. These candidates include hotels/casinos, industrial manufacturing, life sciences, telecommunications, medical, churches, pharma and public facilities. The $585 million alternative energy project pipeline is comprised of designing,

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
Acquisition of Subsidiaries (Continued)
building, implementing and servicing three cutting-edge alternative energy technologies: Solar PV, Geothermal and Fuel Cells.
The Company issued 4,500,000 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Xnergy valued at $3.00 per share in the merger agreement. However, the common shares were subsequently valued at $1.72 per share for accounting purposes based upon the average closing price of the Companys common stock from September 8, 2011 through trading on September 26, 2011. The Company also assumed the obligation of $1,415,088 due to a former shareholder of Xnergy for the purchase of his shares by the exchanging shareholders of Xnergy. The Company assumed $143,681 of debt as the consideration for the purchase of ecoLegacy, a California limited liability company. Hence, for valuation purposes, the proper price/share for accounting purposes is $1.72/share or $7,740,000 for the shares plus the cash component as stated above.
The table below presents, on a retroactive basis the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented to include the operations of Castrovilla and Xnergy. In the above referenced acquisitions Castrovilla and Xnergy were not considered the predecessor for accounting purposes. The proforma condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented below for comparative purposes and to provide additional information and disclosure to the reader.

Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Grants to Employees and Directors
On October 30, 2009, the Companys board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan). The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under the 2009 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 4,542,000 shares of common stock under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan will be administered by the Companys board of directors until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors.
12
NOTE 5 - STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
The material terms of each option granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan by the Company shall contain the following terms: (i) that the purchase price of each share purchasable under an incentive option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2009 Plan) of such common share on the date the option is granted, (ii) the term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such option is granted and (iii) in the absence of any option vesting periods designated by the Committee at the time of grant, options shall vest and become exercisable as to one-third of the total number of shares subject to the option on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.
On October 30, 2009, the Company issued, pursuant to the 2009 Plan, ten-year options to purchase 1,972,000 shares in the Company in exchange for the return of 1,972,000 shares of common stock (see above).
On October 30, 2009, the Company granted, pursuant to the 2009 Plan, ten-year stock options to purchase 1,250,000 common shares of the Company, of which (i) 580,000 are exercisable immediately at $0.90 per share, (ii) 70,000 are exercisable on April 30, 2010 at $0.99 per share, and (iii) 600,000 vest based on performance milestones, as stipulated in the option, and are exercisable at $1.00 per share.
The total fair value of stock option awards (not including those issued in exchange for common stock returned to the Company) granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $251,871, which is being recognized over the respective vesting periods. The Company recorded compensation expense of $233,900 for the year ended December 31, 2009 in connection with these stock options.
On June 12, 2010 the Company issued options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock to a consultant. The options are exercisable at a strike price of $1.00. The options expire ten years from the date of issuance.
On September 1, 2010 the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to two officers of the Company. The options are exercisable at a strike price of $1.00. The options expire ten years from the date of issuance. On the date of issuance, 200,000 of the warrants vested. On October 31, 2010, an additional 300,000 warrants vested. The remaining warrants vest equally over three years.
On December 14, 2010 the Company issued options to purchase 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock to consultants. The warrants are exercisable at a strike price of $1.70. The options expire ten years from the date of issuance.
On December 27, 2010 the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock to a consultant. The warrants are exercisable at a strike price of $1.74. The options expire two years from the date of issuance.
13
NOTE 5 - STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
The above-mentioned options and warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 4.32%-0.71% risk free rate, stock price on the date of issuance of $1.30-$2.50, stock price of $1.50-$1.74, and volatility of 216.67%. The total value for the 1,245,166 vested options and warrants expensed during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,575,768 and was recorded to consulting fees.
On December 7, 2010 the Company declared a distribution to all shareholders of record on December 31, 2010. Each shareholder is entitled to receive upon the effective date of a registration statement with the SEC one warrant to purchase the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 that expire ten years after issuance. Due to the fact that the Company has an accumulated deficit, the distribution was accounted for as a return of capital and recorded as a reduction to additional-paid in capital.
The total fair value of stock warrant and option awards (not including those issued in exchange for common stock returned to the Company) granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $3,167,745 and $251,871, respectively, which is being recognized over the respective vesting periods. The Company recorded compensation expense of $1,532,803 and $233,900 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with these stock warrants and options.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 97,791 options to employees of Castrovilla at $1.68 per share.
The Company will recognize $107,699 over the term of the options. As of September 30, 2011, 4,384,209 shares were remaining under the 2009 Plan for future issuance.
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

Approximately $832,724 or 34.8% of the total expenses were from Castrovilla Inc., with $445,268, or 53.5% of Castrovillas expenses relating to payroll expenses. Approximately $289,697 or 12.1% of the total general and administrative expenses were from Xnergy with $133,029 or 45.9% of Xnergys expenses relating to payroll expense.

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 September 30, 2011 was $115,094 compared to $(195,646) for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change to net other income from net other expense was primarily attributable to a $134,978 change in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The fair value is recalculated quarterly based primarily on the remaining term of the warrants and stock price volatility.
Net Loss
Loss from continuing operations was $1,737,033 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared with a loss from continuing operations (primarily from a change in fair value of warrant liability) of $672,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease in profits of $1,064,378. The decrease is attributable primarily to an increase in general and administrative expenses related to the operations of the newly acquired subsidiaries and the costs related to the ongoing implementation of our business plan. The consolidated net loss increased from $709,239 to $1,737,033 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to September 30, 2010, due primarily to the increase in general and administrative services.

Net Loss
Net loss from continuing operations was $3,039,798 an increase in loss from continuing operations of $2,007,742 or 195%, from $1,032,058 the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared with Nine months Ended September 30, 2010 (Pro forma)
The Company acquired Castrovilla, Inc. effective January 1, 2011 and Xnergy, Inc. effective September 7, 2011. The following Managements Discussion and Analysis is prepared to provide an understanding of the Companys business activities as though the acquisitions were effective January 1, 2010.
Revenues
The Company recognized $6,784,063 revenue for the nine months ended September 30 2011, as compared to $20,099,745 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from continuing operations. Revenue represents sales from the Companys, wholly-owned subsidiary Castrovilla, Inc. whose sales include retrofitting refrigeration equipment with energy management systems and gasket sales and from the Companys, wholly-owned subsidiary Xnergy, Inc. which provides a wide range of energy solutions, including specialized mechanical engineering and the design, construction and implementation of energy savings products. Castrovillas sales for the nine months increased by 16%, while Xnergys sales declined by 66% ($13,315,682) for the nine month period. The decline in Xnergy sales was the direct result of allocating most of Xnergys resources to development of a pipeline of approximately $585 million in order to develop a recurring revenue business model. Assuming management develops project finance as anticipated, Xnergys revenues in 2012 should exceed 2010 revenues.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $3,501,748, compared to $14,377,396, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, resulting in a gross profit of $3,282,315, or 48.4% of revenues and $5,722,349, or 28.5% of revenues, respectively. Castrovillas new products have higher gross margins. Xnergy was unable to finance projects in 2011 prior to acquisition by the Company, resulting in a reduction of sales and the related cost of sales.

Revenue decreased $637,853 or 20%, primarily due to a decline in sales by Xnergy as a result of a lack of financing for the project pipeline, offset in part by an expanded product offering by Castrovilla, Inc.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $1,229,286, compared to $1,743,501, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, resulting in a gross profit of $1,317,387, or 51.7% of revenues and $1,441,025 or 45.2% of revenues, respectively.

The net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,984,943, a $891,370, or 81.5%, increase over the $1,093,573 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of September 30, 2011
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 $3,039,798, the Company incurred a decrease in the warrant derivative liability of $199,177, an increase in accounts receivables of $170,934, and inventory of $355,070 and prepaid expenses and deposits $472,805 that was partially offered by common stock and options issued for services expensed at $757,452 and 557,477, respectively, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $191,457.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $746,078 and resulted from the purchase of Xnergy and Castrovilla, $100,000 for the purchase of the Switch Genie license and $41,408 for the purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $1,336,529 and resulted from $1,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, $1,800,978 of cash in the new subsidiaries offset by payments on notes payable of $1,585,341.
At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $2,202,005 including $1,588,831 in cash and cash equivalents compared with working capital of $2,612,637 at December 31, 2010. 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 decrease in working capital was the result of the assumption of the negative working capital of Xnergy.
23
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. In September 2011, we completed a private placement of preferred Stock and warrants of $1,000,000 and an additional $690,000 in October 2011 which we believe will fund our operations at least through September 2012. Prior thereto, we completed a private placement, commencing October 30, 2009 through December 29, 2009, whereby we received net proceeds of $5,909,750. 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 the next 12 months. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Managements 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 SECs 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, 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.
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, 2010 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011; and we are not involved in any 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.
