VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 11/29/13 — Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. (“OCS” or the “Company”, formerly ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd.) (TSX VENTURE: COO)(FRANKFURT: 9EA) is pleased to announce its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third Quarter, 2013 Financial Highlights
The Company–s third quarter revenues were derived from sales and services supplied to approximately 50 clients over the period, including long term clients such as Forest Carbon Group AG, Aimia, Harbour Air, Viterra and Hemlock Printers. Approximately 16% of third quarter revenues were from new business and/or clients. Reductions in expenses continue to be realized as a result of operating efficiencies following the consolidation of companies post the December 2012 acquisition.
“We continue to meet our projected financial milestones including revenue and profitability and are pleased with our performance to date,” commented Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters. “We remain on target to meet our 2013 guidance, based on the steady growth of our core business lines in carbon offset project development and sales and sustainability consulting services.”
