Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 24, 2016, on March 21, 2016, Blue Earth, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blue Earth Tech, Inc. (collectively, with the Company, Blue Earth) filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (the Court). The Companys chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re Blue Earth Inc., et al., Case No. 16-30296-DM (together, the Chapter 11 Case). The Company has continued to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court.
On May 20, 2016, the Company filed with the Court its monthly operating report for the period March 21, 2016 to April 30, 2016 (the Monthly Operating Report). The Monthly Operating Report is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information furnished under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Monthly Operating Report
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements applicable in the Chapter 11 Case and is in a format acceptable to the Court. The Company is not required to publicly update the Monthly Operating Report to reflect more current facts or estimates or the occurrence of future events, including if the facts, estimates and assumptions upon which the Monthly Operating Report is based are erroneous. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment (which may be material) and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Companys securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Companys reports pursuant to the Exchange Act which are not being filed and such information might not be indicative of the Companys financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Companys financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

The Company also cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. On May 6, 2016, the Company and Jackson Investment Group, LLC, its senior lender, filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) and a related Disclosure Statement. A hearing to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement will be held on June 10, 2016.

Certain statements contained in this report may be deemed to be forward-looking under the Federal securities laws. The Company intends that all such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (i) the continuation of the Companys business operations; (ii) the continuation of the Companys status as a debtor-in-possession, and (iii) the Companys plans to use a Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its operations. The Company cautions that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (a) the willingness of the Companys DIP Lender to continue to fund its operations; (b) the Companys ability to remain in place as debtor-in-possession; (c) the Companys ability to successfully complete the bankruptcy process and resolve claims with creditors and/or shareholders; (d) other risks of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings; and (e) as detailed in the Companys SEC reports.
