Intrepid Technology & Resources, Inc.
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the amended Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended June 30, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2.Description of Business
Intrepid Technology & Resources, Inc., ("The Company"), (an Idaho Corporation) is a biofuels renewable and alternative energy development and operating company with strengths in engineering and technology. While the Company's primary source of current revenue is the sale of engineering services to a variety of clients, it is posturing itself for a primary business purpose of developing, constructing, and operating a portfolio of projects in the Renewable and Alternative Energy sector, with a special emphasis on production of biofuels - particularly, biogas (methane), biodiesel, ethanol and, eventually, hydrogen. The Company's strategy is to provide the overall technical and integration management for planning, coordinating, implementing and operating such projects. The Company's initial emphasis is on establishing several geographically dispersed complexes in the S outhern Idaho region and then expanding to other locations within Idaho and the Western United States. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers. It maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Credit losses, when realized, have been within the range of the Company's expectations and, historically, have not been significant.
In a full force effort to move ahead in the biofuels and renewable and alternative energy development the Company completed an Asset Purchase Agreement on April 20, 2004, to purchase the assets of a natural gas vehicle fueling station and current customer base of a privately held distribution and marketing company, Wright Oil and Broadway Ford ("WOBF"), a natural gas joint venture located in south eastern Idaho.
WOBF is a compressed natural gas ("CNG") and cryogenic liquid natural gas ("LNG") processor and distributor whose clientele include Federal, commercial and municipal customers. The distribution plant is fully automated and operates on a computerized billing system with no attendant necessary at the location. The processing plant brings the additional capability of compressing gas into cylinders that can be transported to any location requiring CNG. The purchase brings a sizeable new asset base to the Company and the WOBF operation should be accretive to earnings in 2004. Furthermore, this acquisition provides a substantial outlet for the Company's methane gas production expected to come online by late 2004.
The purchase of WOBF, the first in a series of planned marketing events, provides the Company with distribution assets and the refining facilities necessary to further process and market their natural gas production as either LNG or CNG to a wide, and geographically diverse, range of customers. This purchase makes the Company a fully vertically integrated producer and distributor of methane gas and associated value added products.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2003, are applied consistently in these financial statements. In addition, the following accounting policy is applied:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Principles of Consolidation.The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company after the elimination of all significant inter-company balances and transactions. The Company's fiscal year-end is June 30.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. The allowance is estimated from historical performances and projections of trends. These projections for doubtful accounts have been recorded based on previous history of charge offs, which have been insignificant. The Company contracts with federal governmental agencies for engineering, which have not been delinquent and management does not believe there is a collectability issue with these contracts. Therefore, no allowance has been recorded as of March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003. The unbilled amount as of March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was $6,330 and $38,178, respectively.
Notes Payable. The Company has various notes payable to individuals and officers. The Company has exchanged a portion of the notes for issuance of the Company's common stock. The Company has incurred additional expenses with outside consultants and has paid a portion of those obligations with the issuance of common stock under the rules provided for S-8 issuances.
Revenue Recognition. The Company's revenue result primarily from contracts, which are substantially short term, with the U.S. Government, commercial customers, state and local governments, or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such customers. The Company performs under a variety of contracts, some of which provide for reimbursement of costs plus fees, and others, which are fixed-price or time-and-materials, type contracts. Revenue and fees on the reimbursement of costs plus fees and time-and-material contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion. Revenues and fees on the fixed price contracts are recognized based on contract benchmarks obtained as of the end of the per iod. Cost-reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of direct costs and allowable indirect costs, plus a fee or profit component. Time-and-materials contracts typically provide for the payment of negotiated fixed hourly rates for labor hours incurred plus reimbursement of other allowable direct costs at actual cost plus allocable indirect costs. Firm fixed-price contracts require us to provide stipulated services for a fixed price.
Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on straight-line and declining balance methods over estimated useful lives. Replacements and major repairs of property and equipment are capitalized and retirements are made when the useful life has been exhausted.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company used significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements primarily related to the valuation of mining rights and the valuation allowance for deferred taxes.It is reasonably possible that these estimates may change from time to time and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Major Customers. At present, revenue is derived from "work-for-others" by the Engineering Services Division, with any operating income being used to develop the Biofuels business line. The Company's engineering services agreements with Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory ("INEEL") at Idaho Falls, Idaho, have constituted a majority of the Company's previously recorded revenue. In 2003, only INEEL provided more than ten percent of the total. In late 2004, the Company is prospectively anticipating more revenue from the Biofuels business line.
Development Activities. The primary focus of the Company is to obtain, permit and develop favorable properties for alternative and renewable energy production like construction of a methane generation plant (anaerobic digester) at the Whitesides Dairy near Rupert, Idaho (started in April 2004) and the WOBF fueling station purchased in April of 2004. The Company will continue to provide the associated engineering design and construction management services required to support the construction and operation of related facilities. Secondarily, the Company will continue to expand its engineering services "work for others" base to generate additional revenue to augment working capital requirements in support of its alternative and renewable energy efforts. The realization of profits is dependent upon successful execution of that busin ess model and producing and selling energy generated from Company-owned renewable energy production facilities, inducing larger companies or private investors to purchase similar "turn-key" alternative and renewable energy generation and production facilities developed and constructed by the Company; continuation of "work for others" services contracts; and the sale of Company-owned mineral assets.
Credit Risk Concentration. The Company maintains most of its cash with US Bank in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Cash balances up to $100,000 and the remaining amounts are not insured or collateralized. The cash balances are not collateral for other obligations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are believed to be limited due to the number, diversification and character of the obligors and the Company's credit evaluation process. Typically, the Company has not required customers to provide collateral for such obligations.
Commitments. The Company has various commitments for notes payable to employees and officers of the Company, and a 5.75% interest-bearing three year term loan with US Bank which expires in May of 2007, all of which the Company believes it has properly accounted for or has made proper accruals to meet these obligations in the future.
Notes Receivable. As of March 31, 2004, the Company has non-interest bearing notes receivable from employees totaling $16,200 for the purchase of the Company's common shares and is recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet. The notes are from employees:
Don Dustin $6,900 Lynn Higgins $2,400 Scott Francis $6,900
Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between financial and income tax reporting as follows:
1. | The basis of property, plant and equipment, for financial reporting exceeds its tax basis by the amount of accelerated depreciation recorded for tax purposes in excess of straight-line and other depreciation recorded for book purposes. |
| |
2. | Net operating loss carryforwards to be used to offset any future net income. |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Note 4. Stock Base Compensation
At the December 5, 2002 Annual Shareholder Meeting, the Company approved a stock-based employee compensation plan. The stock option plan allows officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company to receive non-qualified and incentive stock options for a total of 25 million shares. The During
the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company awarded 900,000 stock options to directors and 9,970,000 stock options to employees, all with an exercise price of $.035. These options are vested at 100 percent and expire in five years from the grant date. A total of 3,254,100 options were available for future option grants as of March 31, 2004.
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method for each period presented under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No compensation cost is reflected in net income for options granted to employees, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees using the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

During the third quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company began work on certain alternative energy projects. These projects included the purchase of the WOBF fueling station and the preparation of the field installation of the Whitesides anaerobic digester located at a 4000 cattle head dairy north of Rupert, Idaho. This digester will be used as the prototype facility to generate natural gas for sale as a renewable energy source of heat and power. From this prototype digester more information will become available for optimization of sizing, and equipment specification and selection to generate the maximum energy value. This will better enable the Company to determine the most effective business model for utilizing the gas produced – i.e. direct conversion to electricity and sale to local power company or direct distribution and sale as natural gas to local commercial and indust rial users.
Note 7. Line of Credit and Term Loan.
As of September 25, 2003 the Company converted its line of credit to a term loan at the same interest rate of prime plus two percent.

Note 9. Subsequent Events
The Company completed an Asset Purchase Agreement on April 20, 2004, to purchase the assets of a natural gas vehicle fueling station and current customer base of a privately held distribution and marketing company, Wright Oil and Broadway Ford ("WOBF"), a natural gas joint venture located in south eastern Idaho. This acquisition provides a substantial outlet for the Company's methane gas production expected to come online by late 2004.
The Company filed a report on Form 8-K on April 26, 2004 to describe this purchase and will subsequently file the timely amendment to include the pro forma financial statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from those indicated herein as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Factors That May Affect Future Results," Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Part I, Item 1., Legal Proceedings, and the discussion below. When the Company uses words like "may," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "should," "estimate," "project," "plan," their opposites and similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. These expressions are most often used in statements relating to business plans, strategies, anticipated benefits or projections about the anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. We make these statements in an effort to keep stockholders and the public informed about our business and has based them on our current expectations about future events. Such statements should be viewed with caution. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or events. As noted elsewhere in this report, all phases of our business are subject to uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which the Company has no control over. Additionally, any of these factors, either alone or taken together, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and could change whether any forward-looking statement ultimately turns out to be true. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release updates or revisions to these statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements and the notes filed thereto on Form 10-KSB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ending June 30, 2003 and the amended Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended June 30, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Revenue
Revenue for the third quarter of the 2004 fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 decreased to $414,987 from $585,367 for the same quarter of 2003, ending March 31, 2003. This 29% decrease in revenue is mainly attributed to the reduction of engineering services work for others and shifting resources to the construction of the Whitesides anaerobic digester plant. Additionally, the Company has been focused on increasing their position in the biofuels and renewable energy markets. The total revenue performance for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $414,987 and $1,849,398. Therefore, the Company experienced higher revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2004, with a 6% increase in revenue year to date compared to one year ago.
In 2002, and 2003, the Company's primary engineering services customers were: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), Fluor Federal Services, Inc., Duratek, Argonne National Laboratory West, the Bureau of Land Management and the State of Idaho. INEEL provided more than ten percent of the total revenue recognized by the Company in those years. In calendar year 2004, the Company has been awarded contracts for INEEL but the total work assigned under those contracts has been less than in the same periods of 2002 and 2003. The Company believes it will be able to balance its shortage of engineering services work with biofuels and alternative energy source revenue by the end of calendar year 2004.
Direct Operating Costs
Direct operating costs for three and nine months ending March 31, 2004 were $288,956, and $1,133,607 compared to $451,257 and $1,432,170 for the same period ending March 31, 2003. This is a 36% and 21% decrease in direct operating costs respectively. This decrease in direct operating costs is primarily a result of reducing some direct cost payroll and closing the Washington office. Consolidating leases and streamlining office functions obtained additional reduction of direct operating costs. A portion of the reduction is also attributed to the decrease in engineering services work. The trend has been direct operating costs are relatively constant in relation to revenues.
Gross Profit
For the three months ending March 31, 2004 the Company's gross profit decreased slightly by 6% to $126,031 compared to $134,110 for the same quarter ending March 31, 2003. For the nine months ending March 31, 2004 the Company's gross profit increased 127% to $715,719 compared to $315,700 for the same quarter ending March 31, 2003. The fiscal year to date increase is attributed to the higher revenue and reduced direct operating costs resulting from closure of the Washington Office with its associated operating costs and the reduction of personnel charging to overhead expense.
General Selling and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2004 general selling and administrative expenses were $223,546 or 121% more than the same quarter ended March 31, 2003 of $101,293. This increase in general selling and administrative expenses was primarily the result of increased professional fees related to the correction of the recording of the March 2002 merger to include the preparation and filing of associated amended financials reports and other documents with the SEC. The Company incurred additional professional and legal costs this quarter as a result of posturing to sell the Company's mineral properties. Efforts in that area will continue into the next quarter as well. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company had general selling and administrative expenses of $720,719 compared to $435,031, or a 66% increase over the same period ended March 31, 2003.
Interest Revenue
The Company had interest revenue of $333 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 and had no interest revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. This $333 was from interest earned on cash reserves held in savings.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2004the Company had interest expense of $5,117 compared to $11,700 for the same period ending March 31, 2003. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004the Company had interest expense of reversed due to amortization adjustments totaling $9,069 compared to the interest expense of $26,105 for the same period ending March 31, 2003. The interest expense was for interest paid on the bank line of credit and 10% interest accrued on notes payable to officers and directors of the Company. The overall interest expense was reduced as a result of the Company paying off the line of credit and assuming a term loan with a lower interest rate.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate is different from the statutory rate as a result of the NOL carryforwards and amount of losses not deductible. The net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1,600,000 at March 31, 2004, and begins to expire in the year 2019. The amount of net operating loss carry forward expires $7,000 in 2019, $89,000 in 2020, $77,000 in 2021 and 927,000 in 2022. The Company is reflecting an income tax benefit at March 31, 2004 of 35% or approximately $8,366 on a net loss before income taxes of $23,902. The income tax benefit of $49,543 was recognized for the same period ended March 31, 2003, with a net loss of $145,436.
Net Income (Loss)
For the three months ended March 31, 2004 the Company had a net loss of $69,511 compared to a net income of $13,726 for the same three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The main reason the Company was profitable in the third quarter of 2003 was the continuing engineering contracts and lower general and administrative expenses compared to prior periods. While in 2004, there was a decrease in engineering effort and an increase in biofuels and alternative energy projects that are not yet producing revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 the Company has a net loss of $15,536 compared to the loss of $95,893 for the same period ended March 31, 2003. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the
majority of the loss was attributed to the ongoing merger costs and heavy general and administrative costs, which totaled $435,031. The loss for 2004 was lower but the increase in selling general and administrative expenses left the Company at a loss.
The Company will make reasonable efforts to meet cash flow demands from ongoing operations however, the Company believes that it will be necessary to supplement the cash flow from operations with the use of outside resources such as bank borrowings on the line of credit, additional loans, and possibly investment capital by issuance of debenture notes and preferred stock. As of March 31, 2004 the Company had a working capital deficit of $68,650 compared to a deficit of $438,279 for the previous year ending June 30, 2003. The current ratio at March 31, 2004 was: .89:1 and .51:1 at June 30, 2003. This decrease in the deficit in working capital can be attributed to a) reduced accounts payable paid down; b) lower accrued vacation, and payroll along with reduced liabilities in the other category; and c) the reduction in the line of credit current portion of debt. The Company has had ongoi ng capital-intensive biofuels and alternative energy projects and continues to search for new investment capital through private preferred stock and debenture bonds to fund the start up of alternative energy projects. The Company has generated approximately $440,000 of private placements in common stock of which these stock proceeds were used to pay down current accounts payable and fund the biofuels White Sides digester project. The Company believes that, with the prospects for bringing on line new alternative energy projects, it will be able to meet obligations as they become due. The Company is also taking active measures to speed up the collection of its current accounts receivable, while no receivables appear to be uncollectible.
The Company converted the line of credit to a variable rate (Prime plus 2%) term loan in the month of October 2003 to cover on going costs of operations. The credit is secured by all business assets and personally guaranteed by the principals of the Company. As of March 31, 2004 the loan was in good standing. In April of 2004, the variable rate term loan was renegotiated to a 5.75% fixed rate, three-year term loan, which will be paid in full by May 2007. The Company also has shareholder notes payable from certainofficers, employees or directors. The notes are unsecured demand notes. It is not anticipated by the Company that the notes will be called in the next year. The shareholder creditor loans to the company of $22,980 from Mr. Kenoyer and of $45,940 from Mr. Dustin accrue interest at an annual rate of 10 percent payable on demand.
Access to Capital- Over the next twelve months the Company believes that it will be necessary to supplement the cash flow from operations with the use of outside resources such as additional loans and possibly investment capital by issuance of debenture notes or preferred stock. In addition to these efforts to provide working capital, the Company is making preparations to be able to sell its owned mineral rights in Garnett, Montana should an opportunity arise and a reasonable offer be received
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures - The Company expects to expend approximately $400,000 on the construction of the previously mentioned construction of a methane generation plant (anaerobic digester) at the Whitesides Dairy near Rupert, Idaho over the next two quarters. The Company has 75% of that required amount as cash on hand and the remainder will come from outside capital resources. Source of funding for office-related expenses will come from ongoing operations generated by engineering services.
Seasonal Changes - The Company's operating revenue is generally not affected by seasonal changes.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's current and primary focus is obtaining permits and developing favorable properties for alternative and renewable energy production, and providing the associated engineering design and construction management services required to support the construction and operation of related facilities, and cannot provide any guarantees of profitability at this time. The Company will continue to expand its engineering services base, "work for others" to generate additional revenue to augment working capital requirements in support of its alternative and renewable energy efforts. The realization of profits is dependent upon successful execution of new business opportunities and the development of prototype
digester models and implementation of the digester project for renewable energy. The Company is dependent upon inducing larger companies or private investors to purchase these "turn-key" alternative renewable energy generation and production facilities. These projects when developed and depending on their success will be the future of the Company. The Company cannot give any reasonable assurance to their success.
Our operating results are difficult to predict in advance and may fluctuate significantly, and a failure to meet the expectations of analysts or our stockholders would likely result in a substantial decline in our stock price.
Factors that are likely to cause our results to fluctuate include the following:
- | the gain or loss of significant customers or significant changes in engineering services market; |
- | the amount and timing of our operating expenses and capital expenditures; |
- | the success or failure of the alternative energy and biofuels projects currently underway; |
- | the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of engineering customer's work orders; |
- | our ability to specify, develop, complete, introduce and market biofuels and bring them to volume production in a timely manner; |
- | the rate of adoption and acceptance of new industry standards in our target markets; |
- | any other unforeseen activities or issues. |
There is a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, and there is a limited volume of sales, thus providing a limited liquidity into the market for our shares. As a result of the foregoing, stockholders may be unable to liquidate their shares.
We are subject to various risks associated with the development of the biofuels and alternative energy market place and if we do not succeed our business will be adversely affected.
Our performance will largely depend on our ability to develop and implement the anerobic digester and generate energy and gas to sale. We will respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis however, we cannot predict if we will be effective or succeed in the development of the biofuels and alternative energy markets. If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to develop and operate in the biofuels market, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
If we need additional financing, we may not be able to raise further financing or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or to our stockholders.
Available cash resources may not be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, if the anerobic digester does not produce revenue for at least 12 months. It may become necessary to raise additional funds to respond to business contingencies, which could include the need to:
- | fund additional project expansion for the biofuels production; |
- | fund additional marketing expenditures; |
- | develop additional alternative energy projects or enhance the WOBF gas products; |
- | enhance our operating infrastructure; |
- | hire additional personnel; |
- | acquire other complementary businesses or technologies. |
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.
(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), within 90 days of the filing date of this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to our Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
(b) There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in paragraph (a) above.
