Subsequent to Year-End Highlights:

Paragon established a Joint Venture Agreement with Xinhua Energy Environmental Technology Co., Ltd, for licensing, marketing, distribution and operation of CoronaLux™ equipment in Chinese territory

Paragon’s facility partner received final permitting from the City of Paramount, CA

Paragon Medical Waste Unit Placements resulted in up-front fees to SEER of approximately $322,000

MV Q1 2015 bookings of approximately $2.5M exceeds half of its full year 2014 revenues

REGS and Paragon received final permitting from the State of Wyoming for the CoronaLux™ VOC refinery unit to be installed as a stand-alone solution

"The strength in our services business continues to drive our financial results to new levels and indeed, we are pleased to report a record year in revenues for our company and another record quarter," commented J. John Combs III, Chairman and CEO of Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources. "Our industrial services unit, REGS, continues to operate at capacity and is exceeding projected financial performance at each of its locations. On the MV side, our quarterly and full-year performance reflects the strength in orders we saw throughout the year for our Hydrogen Sulfide Scrubber products, H2SPlus™ and OdorFilter™ and, while margins were somewhat down due to the proportion of media replacement revenue in the revenue mix, we are excited about the growth in this area and we anticipate multiple opportunities going forward for both revenue growth and strategic acquisitions. In fact, thus far in 2015, as we have announced, we have received multiple new orders for our landfill gas applications and other solutions in multiple states that total approximately $2.5M in the first quarter of this year. We expect to see robust sales during 2015."

"For the Paragon division, 2014 was a year of significant investment, initiating and completing permitting in various states, and responding to international marketing opportunities. We remain very confident that this solid waste and emissions destruction solutions will be a great source of future value for our shareholders. Subsequent to year-end, our California facility partner was given its final permit by the City of Paramount to operate our CoronaLux™ waste destruction unit and we expect to be operational there during the second quarter, 2015. There are a number of other Paragon units out in the field and opportunities, both domestically and abroad, that we believe will also begin to contribute more meaningfully to our results as final local-level permitting and other operating requirements are met in the next several quarters," Combs added.

Fourth Quarter Results

Total fourth quarter revenues of $5.38 million represented an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or 85%, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily a result of higher revenues from the Company’s Industrial Cleaning segment, REGS. This segment contributed $3.1million for the quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the same period in 2013. The Environmental Solutions (technology) segment revenue increased by 144% to approximately $1.53 million in the quarter; compared to $625,800 in Q4 of 2013, primarily a result of additional projects booked and delivered in 2014. Revenue from the Railcar Cleaning segment was $747,000 compared with $648,000 achieved in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company’s Paragon subsidiary received $112,500 in non-refundable fees during the fourth quarter of 2014 in connection with the delivery of CoronaLux™ systems that are recognized as revenue ratably over the initial defined years pursuant to the respective agreements.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 were $5.62 million, an increase of $2.32 million, or 70.3%, compared with the same quarter last year. Operating expenses consist of cost of goods sold and selling general and administrative expenses. Of the total increase of $2.32 million, $1.72 million is applicable to an increase in cost of goods sold due to an 85% increase in revenue compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $605,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. This increase in expenses was primarily attributed to increased marketing efforts, new personnel hiring and general growth expenditure to position the company for anticipated orders and associated installation and commissioning of both MV and Paragon systems.

Net loss, before non-controlling interest, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $253,300 compared to a net loss, before non-controlling interest, of $432,600 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of 40.1%.

The net loss attributable to SEER (after deducting $159,700 for the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest) was $93,600 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared with a net loss attributable to SEER of $360,300 (after deducting $72,200 in net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest) for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The primary reason for the reduction of our net loss in 2014 compared to 2013 was the 85% increase in revenue offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Modified EBITDA excluding non-controlling interest was $136,300 for the quarter compared to $182,300 for the previous year’s period. Modified EBITDA excluding non-controlling interest for the year was $840,800 compared to $207,600 for the previous year.

Mr. Combs concluded, “We are very proud of last year’s performance across all divisions and believe we are very strategically positioned for continued growth in 2015, particularly in our technology divisions, both domestically and abroad. Our objectives and priorities for 2015 are to 1) sustain our services revenue growth, 2) aggressively pursue commissioning and commencement of Paragon operations domestically, 3) leverage our existing and new foreign opportunities for our CoronaLux™ systems, 4) continue our already successful MV marketing efforts focused on the growing landfill gas segment, 5) continue exploiting fugitive emission capture opportunities in the Colorado oil fields, and 6) aggressively pursue VOC gas destruction and tank bottom waste minimization in refineries.”
