Energy and Water Stock Breaking News: HII Technologies (OTCBB: HIIT) Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Financial Results

HOUSTON - March 25, 2013 - (Investorideas.com Newswire) HII Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB: HIIT), an oilfield services company head-quartered in Houston, Texas, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

As stated in the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013, the fourth quarter 2012 revenues were approximately $1.65 million. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company had Net Profit of approximately $206,000,and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $345,000, (EBITDA defined as earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock option expenses, and one-time non-operational expense items), a non-GAAP measure.
The Company's audited revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were approximately $1.75 million, which include all revenues of the Company's recently acquired subsidiary Apache Energy Services, LLC (AES) since its September 26, 2012 closing date.
"The year 2012 was one of significant transition, performance and growth for our Company," said Matthew Flemming, CEO of HII Technologies. "Our acquisition of AES Water Solutions, commercialization of South Texas Power, and key additions to the management team provided great value to our stockholders. These milestones generate additional revenues streams and support our growth. We are also pleased with our expanding operational footprint in Texas and Oklahoma. According to the March 2013 Baker Hughes Rig count, Texas and Oklahoma have approximately 57% percent of the total rigs currently operating in the United States. Our geographic footprint in South Texas, West Texas, North Texas and Oklahoma regions gives the Company significant exposure in high profile shale and unconventional "tight oil" plays. Additionally, the recent launch of our AES Safety Services division has expanded our operations into Ohio and West Virginia."
Investorideas.com Newswire As reported in the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K audited results, Current Assets increased by approximately $1.06 million to approximately $1.74 million from the previous quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company's Stockholder's Equity (Total Assets minus Total Liabilities) increased by approximately $258,000 to approximately $871,000, sequentially from the previous quarter ended September 30, 2012. These increases were directly attributable to the Company's acquisition of AES on September 26, 2012 and its operational performance in the fourth quarter 2012.
Fourth Quarter 2012 Income Statement
The table below sets forth the Company's Statement of Operations, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012;
Investorideas.com Newswire The Company believes the fourth quarter Statement of Operations is more meaningful than the full fiscal year 2012 results as AES was purchased on September 26, 2012. The fiscal year 2012 audited financial statements and pro forma income statement, illustrating the Company's Statement of Operations as if it owned AES for the entire fiscal year 2012, is available within the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation Table
Following is a reconciliation of income from continuing operations attributable to the Company as presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to EBITDA.
Investorideas.com Newswire The Company anticipates releasing further corporate updates and information including initial 2013 revenue guidance by April 2013.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements as to matters that are not of historic fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on HII's current expectations, estimates and projections about HII, its industry, its management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, and include statements regarding estimated capital expenditures, future operational and activity expectations, international growth, and anticipated financial performance in 2013. No assurance can be given that such expectations, estimates or projections will prove to have been correct. Whenever possible, these "forward-looking statements" are identified by words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates" and similar phrases.
Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to: risks that HII will be unable to achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue and/or operating income and risks that HII's expectations regarding future activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability may not materialize (whether for HII as a whole or for geographic regions and/or business segments individually); risks that fundamentals in the U.S. oil and gas markets may not yield anticipated future growth in HII's businesses, or could further deteriorate or worsen from the recent market declines, and/or that HII could experience further unexpected declines in activity and demand for its hydraulic frac related water transfer business, its safety consultancy business or its generator and related equipment rental service businesses; risks relating to HII's ability to implement technological developments and enhancements; risks relating to compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, as well as actions by governmental and regulatory authorities; risks that HII may be unable to achieve the benefits expected from acquisition and disposition transactions, and risks associated with integration of the acquired operations into HII's operations; risks, in responding to changing or declining market conditions, that HII may not be able to reduce, and could even experience increases in, the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed and used in HII's businesses; risks relating to changes in the demand for or the price of oil and natural gas; risks that HII may not be able to execute its capital expenditure program and/or that any such capital expenditure investments, if made, will not generate adequate returns; and other risks affecting HII's ability to maintain or improve operations, including its ability to maintain prices for services under market pricing pressures, weather risks, and the impact of potential increases in general and administrative expenses.
Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of HII's control, HII's actual results and performance may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Other important risk factors that may affect HII's business, results of operations and financial position are discussed in its most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K and in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Unless otherwise required by law, HII also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made here. However, readers should review carefully reports and documents that HII files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Solar Stocks Starting to Show a Pulse" - J. Peter Lynch


New York, New York - June 22, 2012 - Solar stocks report at Investorideas.com Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors releases solar stocks commentary from solar expert, J Peter Lynch following some positive moves in solar stocks FSLR and CSUN today.

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/
As I said in my article on 28 May 2012:

"It is always difficult to determine when to buy a stock or when to buy into a depressed industry sector, like our current solar sector. But when I look back in history it is sometimes informative to read some quotes by famous investors regarding situations such as this - here are three.
  • "The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets." Baron Rothschild
  • "I buy when other people are selling". J. Paul Getty
  • "Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria". John Templeton
Today's solar market segment certainly fits ALL of these quotes - the blood is running on the streets, Everyone is selling or has sold and the mood is without question one of pessimism.
It would seem that now is the time to buy some solar stocks and see if history repeats itself - it DOES violate all of the rules I have outlined for you in all past articles, but if one wanted to take a crazy flyer this would be the time. This assumes you are aware that it is highly risky and maybe just a trade.
What I am going to do is to research all of our stocks and some of the related ETF's and come back to you, very shortly, with a list of the stocks and ETF's that I think are the strongest, technically speaking so that IF you want to take a flyer you will at least be buying the strongest technical stocks".

At that time every one of our solar stocks were BELOW their 50 day moving average and they were oversold by an average of roughly 74% and nothing positive was in sight.

Since then they have started to turn around and a number of stocks have moved ABOVE their 50 day moving average and they are also showing positive momentum both weekly and monthly. See the following table of solar stocks as of the close yesterday.
I have highlighted Five (5) stocks that I feel are the strongest of the entire group at this time:
CSIQ, CSUN, HSOL, SOL, TSL
So if you wanted to take a "crazy flyer" KNOWING FULL WELL that it is highly risky especially in light of the weak and volatile market - these would be the five stocks I would select.
Solar Stock as of the Close Thursday June 21st
Background Analysis Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.
Mr. Lynch has worked, for 35 years as a Wall Street security analyst, an independent security analyst and private investor in small emerging technology companies. He has been actively involved in following developments in the renewable energy sector since 1977 and is regarded as an expert in this field. He was the contributing editor for 17 years to the Photovoltaic Insider Report, an early publication in PV that was directed at industrial subscribers, such as major energy companies, utilities and governments around the world. He is currently a private investor and has from time to time been a financial/technology consultant to a number of companies. He can be reached via e-mail at: SOLARJPL@aol.com.

Graphite Stocks Alert: LOMIKO (TSX.V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF) RECEIVES DRILLING PERMIT FOR QUATRE MILLES GRAPHITE PROPERTY


Vancouver BC - June 22, 2012 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX-V:LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8B www.lomiko.com) (the "Company") announces that Lomiko has received a drilling permit and is preparing for the upcoming drilling at the Quatre Milles East Property.
 
Consul-Teck has proposed a budget of $307, 028 for Phase I and a contingent $724,041 for Phase II for work for the property in the technical report. Lomiko's drilling will focus on verifying the areas of historical high-grade graphite intersected previously by Graphicor on the property. The historical results are detailed below. It is Lomiko's goal to complete both Phase I & II and establish a flake graphite resource at the Quatre Milles Property by December 2012.
Future Markets Inc published "The World Market for Graphene" in October 2011. A summary of the Report's contents indicates:
"Graphene has moved swiftly from the research laboratory to the marketplace, driven by demand from markets where advanced materials are required. These include the aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy storage, solar, oil service, and lubricant sectors. The distinctive electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of graphene make it a potentially disruptive technology across a raft of industries. In 2010, there were over 400 patents issued on graphene and 3,000 research papers published. The European Union is funding a 10 year 1,000 million euro coordination action on graphene. South Korea is set to spend $350 million on commercialization initiatives and the United Kingdom has announced investment of £50million in a new commercialization hub."
Lomiko Metals In conjunction with Visual Capitalist has developed a Graphene Infographic for the use of investors.

Lomiko's Quatre Milles Graphite Property
The Quatre Milles Property is road accessible and is located approximately 175 km northwest of Montreal and 17 km due north of the village of Sainte-Veronique, Quebec. The property consists of 28 contiguous claims totaling approximately 1,600 hectares.
The property was originally staked and explored by Graphicor Resources Inc. ("Graphicor") in the summer of 1989 based on the results of a regional helicopter-borne EM survey. The underlying geology consists of intercalated biotite gneiss, biotite feldspar gneiss, marble, quartzite and calc-silicate lithologies of the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province.
Historical Highlights
Graphicor completed reconnaissance mapping and prospecting as well as ground geophysics and a 26 hole diamond drill program totaling 1,625 metres. The work identified several conductive trends in the central portion of the property and at least three, relatively flat lying graphitic beds. Three surface samples were collected and analyzed returning results of 14.16% Cgf, 18.06% Cgf and 20.35% Cgf. 23 of the initial 26 drill holes intersected graphite concentrations with graphite concentration in range of 4.69% in hole Q90-1 to a highlight of 8.07% Cgf over 28.60 metres in hole Q90-7. The highest individual assay was reported in hole Q90-10 reporting 15.48% Cgf over 0.50 metres. A table of results from the 43-101 indicates:
Investorideas.com Newswire Investorideas.com Newswire The Company cautions that it has not had the chance to verify the quality and accuracy of the historic sampling and drilling results reported in this news release which predate the introduction of NI 43-101 and cautions readers not to rely upon them. The historic figures were generated from sources believed to be reliable, however, they have not been confirmed. Although the sampling and drilling results are relevant, they have not been verified.
Graphite Market
  • The price for flake graphite is $ 2000-$4000 per tonne depending on flake size and grade.
  • Graphite prices have been increasing in recent months and over the last couple of years prices for large flake, high purity graphite (+80 mesh, 94-97%C) have more than doubled.
  • Graphite prices have almost tripled since 2005 due to the ongoing industrialization of China, India and other emerging economies and resultant strong demand from traditional steel and automotive markets.
  • Demand for graphite is expected to rise as electric vehicles and lithium battery technology are adopted, nuclear reactors are built in China, and if fuel cells and graphene patents become products.
  • China, which produces about 70 per cent of the world's graphite, is seeing production and export growth leveling, and export taxes and a licensing system have been instituted.
  • Europe and the USA have both indicated graphite is of economic importance and has a supply risk (Critical Raw Materials for the EU, July 2010).
Graphite Facts
  • Natural graphite comes in several forms: flake, vein, amorphous and lump.
  • Southwestern Quebec is host to some of the most favorable geological terrain for graphite exploration in Canada and is known to host graphite resources, including the nearby Lac Des Iles mine operated by Timcal.
  • Graphite has many important new applications such as lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and nuclear and solar power that have the potential to create significant incremental demand growth.
  • There is roughly 20-30 times more graphite by weight needed to produce a lithium-ion battery than there is lithium.
  • Of the 1.2 million tonnes of graphite produced annually, approximately 40 per cent is of the most desirable flake type.
  • li> High-growth, high-value graphite applications require large-flake and high-purity graphite which is the prime exploration and development target at the Quatre Milles Property.
Near-Term Strategy
Lomiko plans to mount an aggressive exploration campaign on the Quatre Milles Graphite Property commencing with a complete compilation of historic geologic work followed by surface mapping, prospecting and follow-up diamond drilling.

Solar Stocks Still Rising as Oil Declines: (CSUN), (FSLR), (WEST)


New York, NY - June 21, 2012 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com news staff: Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors, issues a trading alert for solar stocks. The sector looks like has reached a bottom recently, with several of the well-known players showing an uptrend, even as oil prices decline.
 
China Sunergy Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ:CSUN) is up, trading at $1.79, gaining 0.09(5.29%) 10:06AM EDT
First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) is trading at $14.94, up marginally at 0.01(0.07%) 10:04AM EDT with a morning high of $15.34.
Westinghouse Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEST) is trading at $0.31, up 0.02(6.90%) 10:07AM EDT
The Dow Jones is down over 21 Points and oil is down, trading at 80.760002 at the time of this report.
The sector had been beaten down so badly that a sign of strength in the global industry in select markets is moving stocks in spite of lower oil prices.
Japan's shift to solar has been a recent factor in some of the stocks turning to the upside.
A report from the Solar Future UK conference had Giovanni Terranova, founding partner of Bluefield Partners LLP, a specialist asset manager for solar PV infrastructure, stating he sees increasing opportunities in the UK market for installers and investors:
"The UK solar industry has reached an important and exciting stage in its development and has the opportunity, for the first time, to be the cornerstone of the government's onshore renewable policy.
Due to significant cost reductions in the price of modules the solar industry in the UK is now a cost-effective solution in comparison to other renewable technologies. Solar has the potential, using lower subsidies, to see to a significant increase in installed capacity over the coming years and to be a major part of the government's 2020 renewable electricity target. The 22GW target set and confirmed by the Government has the potential to transform the UK market in one of the most interesting markets in Europe over the next few years

Portfolio and General Market Update - "Red Flags STILL Flying" - J. Peter Lynch


New York, New York - June 11, 2012 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research, issues an updated column from well � known solar analyst, J. Peter Lynch , commenting on solar stocks and the general markets.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
Read other articles from Mr. Lynch, Exclusively at InvestorIdeas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/
Current Portfolio Status
Since early March (3-6-2012) our solar portfolio has been out of the market and 100% in cash.
The total return of the 2012 portfolio has been a gain of 18.98% with a total holding time of 7 weeks. Once our indicators told us to exit our stocks, we moved quickly and sold our positions.
Remember that the HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. There is so much emotion, fear of missing out and general over all doubt. This is exactly why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.
Trust in your system and follow it regardless of what you think "should happen". Once you try to impose your will on your portfolio you will stop paying attention to what is most important - "what is" NOT what you think it should be.
General Market Comments - Red Flags Flying, move to the sidelines.
 
As I said in my last article (5-20-2012) the market has triggered most of my technical indicators starting in late April all the way up to the most recent major indicator turning to SELL on Tuesday the 17 th of May.
At this point the general market is what I would characterize as being in a RED FLAG environment in which I would move to the sidelines and wait for the market to run its course. In addition, we have entered the markets seasonably UNFAVORABLE season (May - Oct) which historically has been a terrible time to be invested. In addition, all of my technical indicators have signaled sell signals.
Keep in mind that there is NO WAY to know if this is the end of a short correction or the beginning of a longer market downtrend - all we can do is listen to our indicators and follow their lead. When we do that we eliminate "emotion" i.e. what we THINK should be happening from our investment equation and follow our time proven indicators that show us what is REALLY happening regardless of our opinion.
Solar Stocks Status
Since solar stocks as a whole have much higher volatility (beta) than the general markets we have seen then fall much further than the market in general - this is not unexpected and is the reason our indicators told us to exit ALL our solar stocks in early March 2012.
The industry and the solar marketplace are currently undergoing extreme turmoil with negatives everywhere and nothing positive in sight:
  1. Lower prices on solar panels than anyone had predicted
  2. Compressed margins, to the point that 90% of companies are losing money
  3. Worldwide finger pointing as to who is a fault
  4. Elimination of the very successful 1603 Treasury grant program, forcing the industry to fall back on Tax Equity - which adds two problems for the industry: there is not enough of it to handle demand and it adds a significant cost to large commercial solar projects.
  5. A growing number of solar companies around the world are going out of business generating all sorts of media comments that are really inaccurate and based on very little knowledge of how industries grow and develop overtime.
  6. All of these negatives have created investors #1 fear - uncertainty. Where growing uncertainty exists, investors do not come. As a result you can see from the table below that the industry has had a tough year and all stocks are STILL in down trends:
Investorideas.com Newswire With all of these negatives and depressed stocks is there any good news that investors can take to heart and maybe see the beginnings of a light (sunlight) at the end of the tunnel?
Well there are a couple of things we can look at and say that they may be the early beginnings of some good news and maybe the first sign of a buying opportunity:
  1. It is really hard to imagine that the news can get worse - so maybe good news will somehow fill the void.
  2. There is an old saying on Wall Street, attributed to Baron Rothschild - "The time to buy is when blood is running in the streets" - certainly a contrarian point of view and without question - the blood is running in the streets in the solar industry. But in the stock market when all of the selling is finished (after all the bad news is out) there is really nothing left but early buyers.
  3. After a number of years of downward movement - solar stocks are down an average of 76.66% since 2010 stocks tend to rebound and outperform and average year by close to 3 fold.
  4. Small positive changes are starting to show up. One of our solar stocks - CSIQ has had its recent price move above its 50 day moving average - a positive short term sign. A couple of the stocks now have positive monthly momentum - all of the others have negative momentum and mostly all have negative weekly momentum….
In summary, there are no real clear signs that the turn is coming, but there are a few early indications that something positive may be starting - look for more of the stocks crossing ABOVE their 5o day moving averages as an indicator that things are looking better. But remember, that the general market is responsible for over 50% of the movement of individual stocks so that may further delay the solar segments upturn.
Background Analysis Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.
