NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2006 Annual Report on Form 10 - -KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which authorize the grant of stock options to eligible employees and directors. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R,Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method. This statement requires the Company to recognize compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of options granted to employees and directors. As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s issued and outstanding stock options were 100 percent vested, and the Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended December 31, 2006. Therefore, there was no compensation cost related to adoption of the statement. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, and had adopted t he disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost, related to employee options, was recognized in the financial statements prior to July 1, 2006, as all options granted to employees under those plans had exercise prices equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intrepid Technology and Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Note 2 – Going Concern
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has incurred a loss and has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has partially mitigated the going concern as a result of obtaining bond financing for the construction of its plant and equipment and entering into the agreement with Cornell Capital as discussed in Note 4 below.

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 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 have 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, 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, decreased 61% to $47,310 compared to $120,299 for the same period of 2005. Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 decreased 25% to $196,563 compared to $261,288 for the same six months ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was mainly the result of decreased sales of contracted “work for others” over the corresponding periods of one year ago. The Company intends to continue to pursue opportunities for outside contracting with increased emphasis on providing technical expertise to other 3rd party biofuels projects. The Company’s current principal focus is on the completion of the expansion and construction of its two major Biogas fuels facilities. Both facilities are scheduled to be in full operational by June 2007, with revenue streams beginning shortly thereafter. For biofuels facilities that the Company designs, constructs and operates for others, it is an ticipated that revenue will be recognized more rapidly, as such services are provided.
In the three month period ending December 31 2006, the Company’s primary customers were Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and Global Design-Build Solutions (GdbS). During the corresponding period in 2005, the primary customers were the Idaho National Laboratory (“INL”) and ORAU. ORAU and GdbS both provided more than ten percent of the total recognized revenue during the 2006 period; and during the 2005 period, both INL and ORAU provided more than ten percent of the total revenue recognized by the Company.
Direct Operating Costs
Direct operating costs for the three months ending December 31 2006 and 2005, were $28,113 and $129,448 respectively, representing a 78% decrease. For the six months ended December 31, 2006 direct operating costs decreased to $89,396 from $215,695 for 2005—a decrease of 59%. The decrease is due to lower subcontractor costs for contracted “work for others” as discussed above. The Company continues its efforts to reduce direct costs by streamlining costs, exercising greater fiscal restraint, and improved management.
Gross Profit
The Company generated a gross profit of $19,197 in the quarter ended December 31 2006 compared to a loss of ($9,149) for the same quarter in 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2006 the Company had a gross profit of $107,167 compared to $45,593 for the same period in 2005. As discussed above, the favorable increases for the three month and six month periods ending December 31, 2006 were due to reduced operating costs at the digester plants.
9
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $549,259 compared to $348,436 for the same quarter ended December 31, 2005. This 58% increase was largely the result of $112,653 of deferred compensation obligations accrued during this period, and approximately $100,000 less G&A costs being allocated to Costs of Revenue. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses likewise increased 32% for the same reasons to $892,032 from $677,967 for the same period of 2005.
Interest Income
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company received interest income of $3,568 and $7,578 respectively. The Company received no interest income on investment capital for the corresponding periods in 2005.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had interest expense of $12,997 compared to $226,996 for the same period ending December 31, 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had interest expense of $13,001 compared to $278,106 for the same period ending December 31, 2005. The interest expense was primarily amortization of capitalized Bond Issuance Costs to be amortized over the life of the bond. Interest accrued on the bond for the corresponding period was capitalized to the digester assets currently under construction. Interest expense on the bond will be recognized as construction is completed and the plants come online.
Net Loss
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had a net loss of ($558,247), compared to a net loss of ($609,888) for the same period ended December 31, 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had a net loss of ($854,141), compared to a net loss of ($1,043,026) for the same period ended December 31, 2005. The decreases in the losses were due primarily to reduced Research and Development costs as construction and processing issues have been corrected. For 2007, the substantive revenues will not be generated until the first expanded facility is online and biogas products are sold.
MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
In the past, providing engineering and technical services has been the primary source of revenue. The Company expects to continue providing such services in the future, but with a shift in emphasis toward providing consulting services to 3rd party developers of biofuels projects. In fiscal year 2007, the Company will expand its efforts to become a significant producer and distributor of biogas products and a facilities service provider. The following discussion provides an overview of our progress in making the transition.
The fundamental aspects of the Company's business model are:
|
· Utilize cutting edge, but established, technology for the production of biogas from large animal operations; |
· Maintain equity positions on all biogas projects; |
· Begin operations in known territory (Idaho), and expand into other western states as resources permit; |
· Maximize the utilization of our public company status in the financing of our projects; |
· Market biogas products to local gas utilities, industrial users, and transportation users; |
· Team with experienced companies for the marketing and distribution of biogas products. |
10
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Company will design, construct and operate production facilities consistent with the business model described above.
The centerpiece of this development plan is an exclusive geographic and case-by-case national agreement for anaerobic digestion technology that produces biogas with a higher concentration of methane than competing processes. This technology has a successful 6-year operational history and has been demonstrated with both cow and swine waste.
Our goal is to become the premier biogas company in the United States. Our approach is to use superior technology and know-how to convert manure waste from dairy and feedlot operations into high BTU biogas that can be further processed to produce (1) pipeline quality gas for sale to a gas utility or a marketing and distribution company; (2) combustion gas to fuel boilers for processing materials; (3) liquid natural gas for transportation fuel, peaking, and/or remote community service; and, eventually, (4) hydrogen to energize fuel cells for transportation and distributed or non-distributed energy sources. Our range of services includes:
|
· Designing, building, and operating biofuels facilities; |
· Performing value-added processing of raw biogas and residual products of digestion for various; applications; |
· Marketing, transportation and sales of processed gas. |
ITR currently has a biogas production plant in Rupert, Idaho that has operated for nearly two years and has consistently produced 99% purity natural gas (methane) with a heating value in excess of 1000 Btu/cubic foot. This plant is a commercial prototype facility that can be employed to demonstrate the economic viability of the four product lines listed above. The plant is currently undergoing a 5-fold expansion to accommodate a corresponding expansion of the diary upon which it is located. The bulk of the gas produced at the plant is under contract for sale to the local gas utility via a 15-year Supply and Purchase Agreement. A small portion of the gas is used on-site for plant process heating and for heating water for dairy operations.
The Development Plan involves discrete projects that will ultimately bring 200,000 Magic Valley dairy cows under production to create the “Magic Valley Biogas Field” in the Magic Valley area of south-central Idaho. The first project will provide facilities and infrastructure to process manure from 60,000-70,000 dairy cows and will be executed in two distinct phases:
Phase I consists of 10,500 cows located on two different dairies and establishes the west and east anchor points to the Magic Valley Westside field as well as expands the Rupert plant to full capacity. Construction is underway on both facilities and will be completed in CY 2007.
Phase II consists of 50,000-60,000 cows located on 3-5 different dairies (depending on outcomes of individual dairymen’s current consolidation and expansion plans). We anticipate that construction will be initiated in late CY-2007 or early CY-2008 and conclude in CY-2009.
This project will be financed through a combination of debt and equity. It is anticipated that the debt portion will be financed through the sale of bonds; and the equity will come from equity partners that will include dairymen, equity capital group(s), or other private investors and from retained earnings generated through building biogas plants of third parties. Capital cost will be approximately $58 million, the first phase of which will be just over $10 million. These funds will provide for anaerobic digester plants constructed at participating dairies, gas conditioning clean-up equipment for processing the raw biogas to pipeline quality standards, and a supporting gas line gathering system to transport the clean gas to the gas utility distribution system. A majority of the costs (approximately 70%) is for construction of the digesters.
This project will provide over 1 billion cubic feet of biogas annually, which, in turn, will yield over 1 million mcf of clean gas for sale to the local gas utility or marketing and distribution company, 300,000 cubic yards of organic fertilizer, and 300,000 metric tones of carbon dioxide-equivalent carbon credits.
11
Additional Information
The Company plans to increase sales and expand its engineering and scientific services into the biofuels area. Revenue generated will be used to meet cash flow requirements with any excess being used to support and develop the Company’s biofuels production initiatives.
At the present time the Company does not anticipate paying dividends, cash or otherwise, on it’s Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends will depend on earnings, if any, of the Company, its financial requirements and other factors. The Company has obtained bond financing under a State of Idaho approved bond inducement resolution, and is seeking other investment capital to support these projects and the existing and ongoing operations of the Company.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
As the Company expands into the biofuels business, it will face continuing challenges to finance this growth. This is particularly true of Phase I of the Magic Valley development projects described above. To obtain the funds necessary to complete these capital assets, the Company has obtained bond financing as of November 7, 2006. The approximately $7 million is available for these design and construction efforts. This debt is payable over an 18 year period, starting after the anticipated commencement of full operations at these two facilities.
In addition to the capital expenditures for these first facilities, financing resources are needed to support operations. The Company has made reasonable efforts to meet cash flow demands from ongoing operations but the Company may not always be able to obtain funds under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) or obtain sufficient amounts to satisfy the Company’s working capital or other capital needs. The Company finished the quarter ended December 31 2006 with available cash of $403,997 and restricted cash of $3,802,256 compared to available cash of $716,203 at June 30, 2006. The Company believes that it will be necessary to continue to supplement the cash flow from operations with the use of outside resources such as investment capital by issuance of debenture notes and stock. The Company plans to use any additional funding to assist in the biogas production facility that is considered construction in progress, a component of Prope rty, plant and equipment on the balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had negative working capital of ($77,806) compared to a deficit of ($37,821) as of June 30, 2006. The current ratio at December 31, 2006 was: 0.95:1 and 0.96:1 at June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company used net cash of $616,619 for operating activities compared to $698,099 of net cash used in operating activities for the 2005 period. The decrease of cash used by operating activities is due mainly to the reduced net loss.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company used $1,779,130 in investing activities, primarily in biogas generating facility construction costs, compared to $326,384 used in the year earlier period.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, financing activities provided $5,885,799 in net cash, including $496,025 received from the issuance of common stock and $7,640,000 from the issuance of the bond. Payments on the construction note totaled $1,434,498, while bond issuance costs totaled $791,228. In the comparable period for 2005, the Company had $1,018,410 of net cash provided by financing activities; of which $1,012,848 were proceeds from stock sales.

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.
The Company has a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) with Cornell Capital Partners LP. As of December 31, 2006 the Company has issued 82,203,550 shares under this agreement, plus an initial issuance of $500,000 worth of the Company’s stock as a commitment fee for this commitment. Under this agreement, the Company may issue stock worth up to $25,000,000, through March 2007. As of December 31, 2006 an additional $20,000,000 was potentially available under this agreement. It is the Company’s intent to utilize this relationship only to the extent necessary to finance the transition of the Company’s operations to the biofuels business.
Seasonal Changes.
The Company’s operating revenue is generally not affected by seasonal changes.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”, SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67”, SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No 29”, and SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”, were recently issued. SFAS No 151, 152, 153, and 154 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This revised statement establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services, including the grant of stock options to employees and directors. The Statement is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006, and requires the Company to recognize compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments it awards. The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which authorize the grant of stock options to eligible employees and directors. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R,Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method. This statem ent requires the Company to recognize compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of options granted to employees and directors. As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s issued and outstanding stock options were 100 percent vested, and the Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended December 31, 2006. Therefore, there was no compensation cost related to adoption of the statement. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, and had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost, related to employee options, was recognized in the financial statements prior to July 1, 2006, as all options granted to employees under those plans had exercise prices equal to or greater than the market value of the underlyi ng common stock on the date of grant.
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 an d production facilities. These projects when developed and depending on their success will be the future of the Company. The Company may not be successful in these efforts.

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 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 anaerobic digester biogas field concept and generate gas and fiber co-products for sale. We intend to 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 obtain 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 anaerobic digesters do not produce sufficient revenues 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 diluted, 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.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(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”), as of the end of the period covered by 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 changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected or could materially affect these internal controls over financial reporting.
