NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on April 4, 2001. The Company’s subsidiary, Essential Innovations Corporation, is engaged in the manufacturing, installation, and distribution of the “EI Elemental Heat Energy System” family of geo exchange heat products and technology in North America, though its sales to date are primarily in western Canada. On March 6, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pacific Geo Exchange Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Earth Source Energy Inc., which is engaged in the design and installation of geo exchange systems in western Canada. Until January 31, 2005, the Company was in the development stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts had been directed towards product and distribution chain development primarily in western Canada. Effective as of February 1, 2005, the Company had sales of these products and management determined that the Company had emerged from the development stage.
Future Operations
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed above, the Company recently emerged from the development stage and it has not yet generated significant positive cash flows from operations. It is the Company’s intention to raise additional equity to finance the further development of a market for its products until significant positive cash flows can be generated from its operations. However, there can be no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company when required or on terms acceptable to the Company. Such limitations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations, and these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that could result. Failure to obtain sufficient additional funding would necessitate the Company reduce or limit its operating activities.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and with Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations reflect interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim period. The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2006.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Essential Innovations Technology Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Essential Innovations Asia Limited, Essential Innovations Corporation, Pacific Geo Exchange Inc., and Earth Source Energy Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
8
Cash
Cash consists of checking accounts held at financial institutions in Canada and Hong Kong.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable result primarily from installation contracts and the sale of geothermal products and are recorded at their principal amounts. Receivables are considered past due after 30 days. When necessary, the Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and current economic conditions. There is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $64,369 at April 30, 2007. Receivables are generally unsecured.
Accounting for Construction Contracts
Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used may change in the near term. If estimated costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made in the current period for the total anticipated loss. The lives of contracts entered into are typically twelve months or less, but performance may require two construction seasons.
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in advance of amounts billed. Conversely, the liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents amounts billed in advance of revenues recognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill arose upon the acquisition of Pacific Geo Exchange Inc. and represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. The Company’s policy is to review the carrying value of goodwill on at least an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist and record any impairment at that time.
During the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company reorganized the operations of its Pacific Geo Exchange subsidiary, which was acquired in March 2006. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the value of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of the subsidiary has been eroded and the Company has recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,033,948 against operations representing a write-off of all goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of geo-site rights, intellectual property, and option rights agreements. Intangible assets with definite lives or bases for productivity are recorded at cost and are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated periodically for impairment. Management tests intangible assets for impairment at least annually.
9
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sales of geo exchange products are recognized as the sales are made, the price is fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable, and no significant Company obligations with regard to the products remain.
Revenues from design and installation contracts are recognized on the percent of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used may change in the near term. If estimated costs to complete a contract indicate a loss based on management analysis, provision is made in the current period for the total anticipated loss. The lives of these contracts are typically twelve months or less, but performance may occur in different fiscal years.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities. The potentially dilutive equity instruments outstanding are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s losses. Common shares issuable are considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.
Comprehensive Loss
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its components in financial statements. Other comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), except for foreign currency translation adjustments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Operations and Currency Translation
The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss), until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses.

Note 2. Uncompleted Contracts
Costs, estimated earnings, and billings on uncompleted contracts are summarized as follows:
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts | $ | 1,088,380 |

Note 3. Intangible Assets
Geo-Site Rights
During 2005, the Company acquired the exclusive rights to provide a geo-field operating lease and to supply its heating and cooling units to a new residential subdivision in Westbank, British Columbia, for 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $225,000 and options, with a fair value of $47,468, exercisable until 2010, to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 75,000 at $0.75 per share and 75,000 at $1.00 per share. The Company guaranteed that the 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock would have an aggregate fair market value of at least $225,000 one year after issuance, and if the aggregate fair market value was less than $225,000, the Company would issue additional shares of common stock to make the aggregate value $225,000.
The 225,000 shares issued in 2005 had an aggregate value of $112,500 and during 2006, the Company issued an additional 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to make up the deficit. The total cost of $392,080 will be amortized on a pro rata per-unit basis as residential units are sold. As of April 30, 2007, no amortization has been incurred.
Intellectual Property
The Company acquired certain proprietary information that provides the basis for the effective implementation and operation of the geo-utility business concept in return for 75,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock with a fair value of $30,000 and options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock, 37,500 at $0.75 per share and 37,500 at $1.00 per share exercisable until July 31, 2009, and 37,500 at $1.25 per share and 37,500 at $1.50 per share exercisable until July 31, 2010. These have been recorded at the fair value of $57,496. In addition, the vendor is entitled to a royalty of 2.5% from gross revenue of geo-utility projects in which the Company is directly involved and 0.5% of gross fees from geo-utility projects when the Company provides project management. This intangible asset has an indefinite life. The Company has not earned any gross revenue from geo-utility projects and, accordingly, no royalty expense is included in these consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates the asset for impairment on at least an annual basis and recorded an impairment loss of $41,378 during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Option Rights Agreement
During 2005, the Company obtained the exclusive rights to acquire a new technology within the geothermal heating and cooling and any other heating, ventilating, and air conditioning related application from a director of the Company and his partner, who is the father of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This agreement was modified in April 2006 to reduce the cost to exercise the option. The Company paid for this option by issuing 50,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of its common stock, with a fair value of $25,000 and options to acquire 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75 per share exercisable for five years. These have been recorded at the fair value of $55,156. The Company has until September 2007 to determine whether it will exercise the option. The cost to exercise the option is an additional 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and options to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share exercisable for five years from the date of exercising the option. In addition the Company will be obligated to pay a royalty of 2.5% of the gross revenue generated from the technology. The cost has been amortized in full.
Technology Agreement
During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement for the exclusive rights to distribute and use certain proprietary technology processes for the installation of geo exchange systems. The Company paid for these exclusive rights by the issuing of 50,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of its common stock, with a fair value of $15,000 and options to acquire 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per share exercisable for five years. These options have been recorded at the fair value of $10,064. In addition, the agreement calls for the payment of royalties of 18% of the overall project value on commercial or institutional projects and 10% of the overall project value on residential projects.
Note 4. Related-Party Transactions and Balances
Loans Payable, Related Parties
During 2003, a director and officer of the Company made an unsecured loan to the Company in the amount of $30,600, due on demand, payable monthly as to interest only at 8%, with the principal to be repaid in full on or before April 1, 2004. In connection with this loan, options were granted which entitle the holder to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company until 2012: 25,000 at $0.25 per share and 25,000 at $0.50 per share. The fair value of the options of $37,978 was recorded as interest expense during 2003. During 2004, the loan was extended and the Company agreed to pay an additional $6,511 in refinancing costs. The balance remaining at April 30, 2007, is $11,195.
During 2006, two related parties made unsecured loans to the Company totaling $61,191, due September 30, 2006, with interest at 15%.

Other Related Party Transactions
| • | During the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred consulting fees and related expenses to a company controlled by an officer and director of the Company in the amount of $70,000 and $75,000, respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2006, $12,500 were converted into 50,000 shares of common stock based on the fair value of the shares of common stock at the transaction date. In addition warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.25 per share until 2011 were also issued as part of the conversion. The balance owing as at April 30, 2007, is $58,657 and is recorded in accounts payable. |
| • | During the six months ended April 30, 2007, certain management and directors of the Company converted $47,500 of accrued wages into 191,000 shares of common stock of the Company based on the fair value of the shares of common stock at the transaction date. In addition, warrants to purchase 191,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.25 per share until 2011, valued at $32,007, were also issued as part of the conversion. No gain or loss was recorded on these conversions. |
Note 5. Term Loan
During 2006, the Company arranged term financing of $2 million to complete the acquisition of Pacific Geo Exchange Inc. and Earth Source Energy Inc. This loan is secured against all assets of the Company and bears interest, payable monthly, at the rate of prime plus 3%, with a minimum interest rate of 8%. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the principal repayments were renegotiated and the new principal payments are $30,000 per month from May 2007 to November 2007; $37,500 per month from December 2007 to May 2008; and $62,500 per month from June 2008 until the loan is paid in full. In addition to the monthly payments, the Company is required to pay 30% of annual positive cash flow as additional principal payments. At April 30, 2007, the Company was delinquent in interest payments of $37,977. The past-due interest payments have been paid subsequent to April 30, 2007.
The Company has recorded a discount against the loan based on the relative fair value of related warrants to purchase 2,919,496 shares of common stock related to the $2 million term loan in the amount of $960,000. As the lender has agreed not to hold more than 4.99% of the Company’s stock at any one time, only that portion of the debt discount equivalent to the exercising of warrants that would equate to 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding stock as of the date of funding has been expensed as interest in the amount of $391,000 in these financial statements. The balance of the debt discount is being amortized over 36 months, and related interest expense of $99,493 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, is included in these consolidated financial statements.
The following represents payments due under the term loan as renegotiated:

Introduction
Management believes the most significant features of our financial condition is that our working capital deficiency continues to increase and that we have renegotiated the principal repayment schedule of our term loan which has delayed principal payments to May 2007 and reduced principal payments extending the total repayment term. We have also significantly reduced operating costs through the restructuring of our subsidiary, Earth Source Energy, which has seen a significant reduction in the number of employees and the use of more subcontractors to provide services to our clients. This restructuring has necessitated a review of the carrying value of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Earth Source Energy and we have charged operations with a non-cash impairment loss of $2,033,948.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 2007,
with the Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 2006
We have generated gross revenue of $1,380,945 and $663,323 with related costs of revenue of $1,049,176 and $504,499 in the six and three month periods ended April 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to gross revenues of $679,690 and $577,644 and cost of revenue of $474,817 and $378,480 for the six and three months ended April 30, 2006. This is primarily due to our inclusion of Earth Source Energy Inc. for the full six and three months ended April 30, 2007, whereas the comparative periods ended April 30, 2006, only included Earth Source for the period of ownership being March 7, 2006 to April 30, 2006.
Our operating expenses for the six and three months ended April 30, 2007, were $1,288,733 and $528,254, as compared to $4,844,316 and $3,884,094 for the comparable periods in 2006, a decrease of 73% and 86% respectively. This reflects a reduction of investor relations costs of $ nil for each of the six and three months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to $591,307 and $463,807 for the six and three months ended April 30, 2006; a reduction of financing costs related to financings to $3,911 for each of the six and three months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to $1,272,245 for both the six and three months ended April 30, 2006; and a reduction to $48,778 and $nil for the six and three months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to $1,397,899 and $1,019,086 for the six and three months ended April 30, 2006, for employee option and stock costs pursuant to SFAS 123 (R). During the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, we have recorded an impairment loss related to the write off of goodwill related to the acquisition of Earth Source Energy.
Overall, we sustained a net loss of $2,514,817 and $3,252,349 for the three- and six-month periods ended April 30, 2007, as compared to net losses of $4,141,173 and $5,100,724 in the corresponding periods of the preceding year.
We had 12 full-time employees as of April 30, 2007, as compared to 28 full-time employees at April 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2007, our current assets stood at $1,163,381, as compared to $1,240,733 at October 31, 2006. As of April 30, 2007, our current liabilities were $3,310,876, as compared to $2,759,806 at October 31, 2006. As at April 30, 2007, our long-term liabilities were $1,204,763 as compared to $771,293 at October 31, 2006. Operating activities generated net cash of $33,110 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to net cash outflow of $983,935 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.
17
Net cash spent on investing activities was $250,628 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to $952,897 during the six months ended April 30, 2006. Included in investing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2007, is $236,986 investment in revenue producing assets whereas the six months ended April 30, 2006, included the cash component of $952,897 for acquisition of subsidiaries.
Net cash of $169,359 provided by financing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2007, consists of proceeds of cash received for subscription of shares in the amount of $148,340; net advances from shareholders of $60,981; less repayment of term loan and finance loans of $62,597. This is compared to net cash of $1,926,885 during the comparable period ending April 30, 2006, which consisted of proceeds from the term loan of $2 million; the issuance of common stock for $388,250; net advances from stockholders of $83,776 less repayment of financial obligations of Pacific Geo Exchange Inc in the amount of $548,900.
Our current balances of cash will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the whole of the current year. Because we are not currently generating sufficient cash to fund our operations, we will need to rely on external financing to meet future capital and operating requirements. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our capital requirements depend upon several factors, including the rate of market acceptance, our ability to get to production and generate revenues, our level of expenditures for production, marketing and sales, purchases of equipment, and other factors. We can make no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Further, if we issue equity securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. If we cannot raise funds, when needed, on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue our operations, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, all of which could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of April 30, 2007, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of April 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
