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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30,
2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------
The Company has stock-based employee compensation, which is described more fully
in Note 12 to the audited financial statements of the Company as of June 30,
2005. The Company accounts for this compensation under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and related Interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements, as all
options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. No new stock options were
granted during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based
on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123,
the Company's net loss would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ITR and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain accounts in the 2004 unaudited financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation in the 2005 unaudited financial
statements.
Note 2 - Going Concern
- ----------------------
As of September 30, 2005, the Company has a stockholder's deficit, has incurred
a loss, and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has engaged an investment banking firm to obtain bond financing under
a State of Idaho approved bond inducement resolution to expand operations and
production capabilities. While activities continue on schedule for this bond
financing, there can be no full assurance that such funds will be available to
the Company nor that these efforts will be successful.
Note 3 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Note 4 - Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
- ----------------------------------------------
On March 10, 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement (SEDA) with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (Cornell). Pursuant to the
SEDA, the Company may, at its discretion, periodically sell to Cornell shares of

common stock purchased under the SEDA, Cornell will pay the Company 99% of the
lowest closing bid price of the common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board or other principal market on which the Company's common stock is traded
for the five days immediately following the notice date. Cornell will retain 5%
of each advance under the SEDA.
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, 2005.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
REVENUE
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, increased 59% to $140,989
compared to $88,903 for the same period of 2004. This increase was due
primarily to the recovery from low levels of outside contracting activity in the
earlier period. The Company intends to continue to pursue opportunities for
outside contracting at the Idaho National Laboratory and other government
facilities to the extent that these opportunities do not significantly interfere
with and the Company's shift to designing and building of biogas facilities.
The Company's current principal focus is on the Biogas fuels facility, for which
revenue will be minimal until the facility comes on line and is producing
biofuels. For biofuels facilities that the Company designs, constructs and
operates for others, it is anticipated that revenue will be recognized more
rapidly, as such services are provided.
In both three month periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company's
primary customers were Idaho National Laboratory ("INL") at Idaho Falls, Idaho
and Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). INL and ORAU both provided more
than ten percent of the total revenue recognized by the Company in those
periods.
DIRECT OPERATING COSTS
Direct operating costs for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004,
were $86,247 and $83,459 respectively, representing an 3% increase. The
increase is due to the increased volume of engineering services work and direct
operating costs that paralleled this work. Additionally, the Company made
further efforts to reduce direct costs by using less subcontracted services,
eliminating certain rental fees, making better use of supplies, and exercising
better management of direct payroll costs.
GROSS PROFIT
The Company had a gross profit of $54,742 in the quarter ended September 30,
2005 compared to a gross profit of $5,444 for the same quarter in 2004. This
is primarily due to the major shift of resources into construction and operation
of the Company-owned Whitesides Biogas Plant and the design and preliminary
development of the Company-owned West Point Biogas Plant.
SELLING GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, general and administrative
expenses were $329,531 compared to $236,388 for the same quarter ended March 31,
2004. This 39% increase was the result of increased administrative expenses
beyond those required for the previous engineering services work, adding expense
as the Company increased efforts in expanding the Biogas operations.
INTEREST EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had interest expense
of $51,110 compared to $3,150 for the same period ending September 30, 2004.
The interest expense was for interest paid on the term loan, debentures and
interest accrued on notes payable to officers and employees of the Company.
With the anticipated bond offering to finance the first two biogas facilities,
interest expense is likely to increase in future periods.
NET LOSS
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had a net loss of
$433,138 compared to net loss of $246,168 for the same period ended September
30, 2004. In 2004, the loss was due to a significant drop in engineering
contract revenue, while the transition to the biofuels business was starting up.
For 2005, the transition to the new biofuels business accelerated, but revenue
will not be received until the first facility is online and biogas can be
delivered to the customer.
MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
- ------------------------------
Providing engineering and technical services has been the primary source of
revenue, and hence the primary business focuses, in the past. The Company
expects to continue providing such services in the future, but with decreased
emphasis. In fiscal year 2006, the Company will continue its emphasis on
becoming a significant producer and distributor of biogas products and
facilities. The following discussion provides an overview of our progress in
making the transition from being primarily a provider of engineering services.
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.
- Utilize off-the-shelf equipment for clean-up of the biogas to meet
pipeline-quality specifications and produce liquid products.
- Maintain equity positions on all biogas projects
- Begin operations in known territory (Idaho), and expand into other
western states as resources allow.
- Maintain relationships with equity and debt capital markets to retain
the capability to finance projects, for the Company's ownership or to
assist customers.
- Market biogas products to local gas utilities, industrial users, and
transportation users
- Team with experienced companies for the marketing and distribution of
biogas products
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Over the next four years, the Company plans to place 250,000 head of dairy
cattle into biogas production. The Company will design, construct and operate
these facilities consistent with the business model parameters described above.
The centerpiece of this development plan is an exclusive geographic and
case-by-case national sub-licensing agreement for anaerobic digestion technology
that produces biogas with nearly a 33% higher concentration of methane than
competing processes. This technology has a successful 5-year operational history
and has been demonstrated with both cow and swine waste.
Our goal is to become the premier fully integrated biogas developer 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; (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 include:
- 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 an operational biogas production plant in Rupert, Idaho that
processes manure waste from 1000 cows. This plant is a commercial prototype
facility that can be employed to demonstrate the economic viability of the four
product lines listed above. It has been designed and built with a 4x scale-up
capacity to accommodate planned expansion of the dairy on which it is located.
Expansion of the plant will parallel expansion of the dairy and within a year
will accommodate 4500 cows. The primary current focus at the plant is on
producing clean gas for sale to a local gas utility and for providing combustion
gas for heating water for dairy operations. Efforts are also underway to
demonstrate use of biogas to provide process heat for a small-scale biodiesel
facility with the objective of allowing for penetration into the biodiesel
market.
The Development Plan involves discrete projects that will ultimately bring
250,000 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 50,000
dairy cows and will be executed in two distinct phases:
Phase I consists of 10,500 cows located on 2 different dairies and
establishes the west anchor point to the Magic Valley Westside field as
well as expands the Rupert plant to full capacity. Construction will begin
in CY 2005 and be complete in CY 2006.
Phase II consists of 40,000 cows located on 3-5 different dairies
(depending on outcomes of individual dairymen's current consolidation and
expansion plans). Construction will be initiated in CY 2006 and conclude in
CY-2007.
This project will be debt financed through the sale of bonds. Capital cost will
be approximately $35 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 a local gas
utility.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company also plans to increase sales and expand its engineering and
scientific services base via new customer contracts. 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 its 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's main focus is now in the
biofuels market, specifically the production of biogas. The Company has made two
acquisitions for the vertical integration of the business and the ability to
have a ready available access to sell the gas production into the market place.
The Company believes that it has also taken the proper steps to sell certain
assets including the mining and mineral rights of the Garnet mine in Montana to
provide working capital to see the production through to completion. The Company
is currently seeking other investment capital to support the existing and
ongoing operations of the Company and these projects.
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 is in the process of
obtaining bond financing. It is anticipated that approximately $10 million will
be made available for these design and construction efforts. This debt will be
payable over a 15 year period, starting after the anticipated commencement of
full operations at these two facilities. Management believes that these funds
will be adequate to complete these 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 still
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
September 30, 2005 with cash available of $176,990 compared to $65,737 at June
30, 2005 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 Property, plant and
equipment, net, on the balance sheet.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $454,942
compared to a deficit of $599,197 as of June 30, 2005. The current ratio at
September 30, 2005 was: 0.41:1 and 0.30:1 at June 30, 2005. This improvement is
related to the timing of funds obtained during the quarter through the SEDA
arrangement.
The Company had a bank term loan with a fixed rate of 5.75% with a balance
$100,473 as of September 30, 2005. The credit is secured by all business
assets and personally guaranteed by the principals of the Company. As of
September 30, 2005, the loan was in good standing, and as of the date of this
filing the term loan is also in good standing. The Company also has shareholder
notes payable from certain officers, 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 following are shareholder creditors to the
company: Mr. Kenoyer has made two loans to the company and as of September 30,
2005, the total balance due him was $20,325. The first loan accrues interest at
the rate of 10 percent and has a balance of $407. The second accrues interest
at the rate of 7 percent and has a balance of $19,918. Mr. Dustin has also made
two loans to the company and as of September 30, 2005, the total balance due him
was $40,287. The first loan accrues interest at the rate of 10 percent and has
a balance of $9,251. The second accrues interest at the rate of 7 percent and
has a balance of $31,036.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company used net cash of
$366,346 for operating activities, compared to $7,044 of net cash provided by
operating activities for the 2004 period. The increase of cash used by
operating activities is mainly result of the Company's $433,138 net loss in the
three month period ending September 30, 2005.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company used $23,905 in
investing activities, primarily in adding equipment for the initial biogas
generating facility, compared to $308,800 used in the
year earlier period. In 2004, the Company purchased property and equipment
towards the Biogas production.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, financing activities provided
$501,504 in net cash, consisting of $535,502 net of costs from the issuance of
common stock, plus $450,000 additional long-term debt, offset by payments on
long-term debt of $483,998. In the comparable period for 2004, the Company had
$231,844 of net cash provided by financing activities, which consisted of
$245,797 in proceeds from stock sales, offset in part by $13,953 payments on
long-term debt.
Debenture Debt
- ---------------
The Company issued convertible debentures to Cornell Capital Partners, LP in the
original principal amount of $750,000 in October 2004. The debentures are
convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a fixed conversion
price of $.055 per share. The debentures are secured by the assets of the
Company. The debentures have a three-year term and accrue interest at 5% per
year. At maturity, October 14, 2007, if not repaid, the debentures will
automatically convert into shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of
$.055 per share. As of September 30, 2005 $150,000 of the debenture has been
converted.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.
- ----------------------------------------
The Company has a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) with Cornell

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 periods beginning after
June 15, 2005, and will require the Company to recognize compensation cost based
on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments its awards. The Company
currently accounts for those instruments under the recognition and measurement
principles of APB Opinion 25, including the disclosure-only provisions of the
original SFAS 123. Accordingly, no compensation cost from issuing equity
instruments has been recognized in the Company's financial statements. The
Company estimates that the required adoption of SFAS 123 (R) will not have a
negative impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 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 and generate energy and gas to 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 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 anaerobic 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.
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

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.
