The Company's full 2013 fiscal year results are set forth in its

The Company's audited revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013
represented full year fiscal results from the Company's operating
subsidiaries (doing business as AES Water Solutions, South Texas Power
and AES Safety Solutions) and partial-year results for the Company's
AquaTex subsidiary acquired in November 2013. Pro forma 2013 revenues
would have been approximately $16.7 million if the Company's acquisition
of AquaTex occurred on January 1, 2013.
Each of the Company's Water, Power and Safety divisions experienced operational
growth and increased revenues during 2013, as discussed below.
The Company's Water division experienced significant growth in 2013
due to increased customer base, expanded territories of operational
activities and additional services offered. The November 2013 AquaTex
acquisition also provided new customers and geographic expansion in
South Texas' Eagle Ford Shale and the Eaglebine formation in East Texas.
Additional service offerings including waste water evaporation services
and flow back/well testing services which made a positive impact on the
Water division's revenue growth. As previously announced, the strategic
alliances with CRS Repossessing and Resource West also contributed to
the Water division's 2013 growth. By partnering for these additional
products and services for our Water division, the Company avoided most
of the costly product development cycles and issues customarily found
with new product inventions.
The Company's Safety division continued its growth in 2013 via
establishing new safety engineering service sites in Ohio and West
Virginia, adding customers in Texas for safety inspection as well as
safety classroom training and certification programs offered. AES Safety
Services also expanded its service offering to include a rapid spill
response program for site clean-up and remediation after environmental
occurrences.
During 2013, the Company's Power division, operating as South Texas
Power (STP), augmented its fleet of oilfield mobile generator sets,
acquired several new oilfield customers and added additional key
employees, all of which contributed to its growth and facilitated
expansion into other parts of Texas. Recently STP has developed a new
operating base in the Permian basin. The Power division anticipates
entering the Oklahoma market in fiscal 2014 leveraging its existing
customer base and reputation in the Texas market.
Matthew Flemming, CEO of HII Technologies, stated, "While
maintaining our focus in the Water, Safety and Power market segments we
have expanded our services within these segments which is a business
strategy we believe will continue to position us for growth. Currently,
the markets we operate in have been very active for energy services and
we are pleased with the organic growth that occurred in 2013." Mr.
Flemming continued, "The successful integration of the AquaTex
acquisition from November 2013 and the Company's continued growth and
demonstrated ability to bring new technologies to our customers, is a
tribute to the outstanding people who work at our Company. We are
thankful for our hard working employees, and we are excited to
accelerate our plans in 2014 for our stockholders."
As reported in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K
audited results, Current Assets increased by approximately $2.1 million
to approximately $5.0 million from the previous quarter ended September
30, 2013. The Company's Stockholder's Equity (Total Assets minus Total
Liabilities) increased by approximately $69,000 to approximately
$886,000, sequentially from the previous quarter ended September 30,
2013. These increases were directly attributable to the Company's
acquisition of AquaTex on November 12, 2013 and our operational
performance in the fiscal year 2013.
