Alternative Earth was responsible for the development of the Blue Mountain geothermal resource from exploration through construction of the nameplate 49.5 MW (gross), 38.8 MW (net) Faulkner I power plant, and continues to hold interests in four other geothermal properties.  The results of the Blue Mountain power plant are included in Alternative Earth's results up to March 28, 2013, on which date the Company transferred its interest in the project to Blue Mountain Power, LLC, a subsidiary of EIG Global Energy Partners ("EIG"), which had been the mezzanine lender on the project. Alternative Earth continues to operate the power plant through its subsidiary, Nevada Geothermal Operating Company ("Opco"), and is providing some management and administrative services during a cooperative transition period.

The Company will be compensated for services provided to the Blue Mountain project during the abovementioned transition period, but management does not expect to be involved with the project for an extended period.  The agreement between the Company and EIG provides for Opco's involvement in the project for a maximum period of 12 months, and a minimum of three months from March 28, 2013. The expected handover date is to be on or before December 31, 2013.

As at September 30, 2013, the Company's assets (consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million and resource property interests carried at $1.5 million) exceeded its liabilities (consisting primarily of asset retirement obligations) by approximately $3.4 million.

On April 2, 2013, the Company changed its name from Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. to Alternative Earth, and completed a five for one share consolidation, which leaves the Company in a position to maintain its property portfolio or pursue other opportunities.
