Capital Resources and Outlook ABCO Energy’s primary source of capital for the First Quarter of 2019 was cash flow from operations and borrowing through financial institutions. Our S1 offering documents were approved by the SEC on May 7, 2019 and this will assist us raising capital from non-convertible stock sales to bolster our acquisition programs in the coming months.

“With improved margins and acquisitions, we expect a return to profitability by year end 2019, “said Charles O’Dowd, President. “We expect that our sales will continue to grow as energy-efficiency, solar, HVAC and LED Lighting industry activities increase.”
