VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 09/10/13 — 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 June 30, 2013.
First half, 2013 Financial Highlights
The last four quarters saw income realised through the Company–s ongoing business with leading clients including Aimia, Harbour Air, and Forest Carbon Group AG, including the first sales of validated and verified carbon offsets from the Company–s Mai Ndombe REDD project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Additional revenue and stable cash flows are being derived from a strong advisory services business in life cycle analysis and greenhouse gas mitigation strategies for companies seeking to manage their environmental impacts. The Company has also begun to provide technical and project development services for compliance-eligible forest carbon projects in the United States, supplementing cash flows and allowing the company to provide existing, deep technical capacity to build new markets outside of Canada.
Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters, commented, “We are pleased with our results to date, and especially with our seamless merger following ERA Carbon Offsets– acquisition of Offsetters and Carbon Credit Corporation. We have also seen steady growth in our main business lines in North America and internationally, which we expect to carry through the second half of the year. We do expect revenues to remain variable from quarter to quarter due to our clients– annual business cycles.”
All financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and associated notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, along with the related management–s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) are available on SEDAR at .
