TERRA ENERGY & RESOURCE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The consolidated balance sheet of Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (“Terra”), a Delaware corporation, and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and the related statements of operations and cash flows have been prepared by the Company, without audit, with the exception of the consolidated balance sheet dated as of December 31, 2009, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed on April 14, 2010.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations, sustained substantial cash outflows from operating activities, and has both a significant working capital deficiency and accumulated deficit at June 30, 2010. The above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continued existence depends on its ability to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing to fund its operations and ultimately to achieve profitable operations. The Company is attempting to raise additional financing and has initiated a cost reduction strategy. Given the Company’s tight cash position, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company (1) raising additional equity or debt financing or (2) the Company obtaining sufficient fee revenue from service business to support the operations of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either effort.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In accordance with the standard “Share-Based Payment,” codified within ASC 718, the Company has accounted for its employee stock options and other stock options issued to outside consultants under the “modified prospective“ method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of the standard for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of the standard for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of the standard that remain unvested on the effective date. Accordingly, the fair market value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

RESTATEMENT
In the Company’s previously filed 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, stock based compensation expense related to the amortization of options and warrants of $2,396,793 was reported. It was discovered during the audit of the December 31, 2009 financial statements that compensation expense was overstated by $1,818,793 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to errors in certain stock option valuations. As a result, compensation expense and accordingly the Company’s net loss have been reduced by this amount in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. As a result of the restatement net loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reduced to $0.01 from $0.03 previously reported.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

“Forward
-
Looking” Information
These management discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements and information that are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our management. These forward-looking statements are based on many assumptions and factors, and are subject to many conditions, including our continuing ability to obtain additional financing, ability to attract new customers, competitive pricing for our services, any change in our business model from providing services to natural resources exploration companies to engaging in exploration activities, and demand for our products, which depends upon the condition of the oil industry. Except for the historical information contained in this report, all forward-looking information are estimates by our management and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that may be beyond our control and may cause results to differ from our management’s current expectations, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the related notes, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Operating Entities
Our business operations, prior to fiscal 2009, were conducted primarily through wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Terra Insight Corporation through August 2008, and Terra Insight Services, Inc. since September 2008.
Our Operations and Plans
During fiscal 2009 and the current fiscal year, we focused on identifying new technologies for potential acquisition, marketing and promotion of services, and on obtaining additional investment capital to restart our service and exploration efforts, to restructure our operations to reduce our operating costs, and to create case studies demonstrating the value of our proprietary satellite-based sub-terrain prospecting (“STeP”) technology for locating natural resources. We intend to demonstrate the value of our STeP technology by pursuing a fee for service business model with exploration companies, which may include seeking royalties on the exploration project, as well as a farm-in strategy of investing in drilling projects when our STeP technology concurs with the available seismic studies on the projects. Our goal is to demonstrate a success rate which is better than industry averages and thereby establish the value of our technology while generating minerals and hydrocarbon reserves and internally generating cash flow to support our cost of operations.
Our goal is to enter into services agreements whereby we provide our services, such as providing site location and depth locations, to natural resource exploration companies in exchange for service fees, with regard to a specific natural resource exploration property.
While we have oil exploration experience, we need substantial additional capital to conduct oil exploration activities alone. We continue to seek joint ventures to assist in our operations, including examining, drilling, operating and financing such activities. We will determine our plan for future leases we acquire based on our ability to fund such projects.
In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we provided analysis services to three customers pursuant to which we generated $164,975 in revenues.
Current Status of Operations
We have incurred large operating losses and have a working capital deficit of approximately $1.18 million at June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we had cash of approximately $20,996. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our source of revenue have been from providing mapping and analytic services to exploration, drilling and mining companies, using an integrated approach with proprietary attributes to gather, manage and interpret geologic and satellite data to improve the assessment of natural resources. We also seek to generate revenue from projects that we undertake through joint venture and similar relationships with third parties.
We generated approximately $5.7 million in revenues since inception in 2005 through fiscal 2009; however, due to significant capital expenditures requisite for drilling and mining operations, our revenues from our service business has not been sufficient to support our operational expenses and proposed business activities. Since inception through fiscal 2009, we have supported our operations primarily through the sale of preferred stock, common stock, and convertible debentures, and noncontrolling interests in drilling limited partnerships, including sales of common stock of $670,000 in fiscal 2009 and $930,450 in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain new capital and generate revenue from service operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding or, in the event we are successful in obtaining additional funding, that the terms of such funding will be on terms advantageous to us.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Several of our accounting policies involve significant judgments and uncertainties. The policies with the greatest potential effect on our results of operations and financial position are our ability to estimate the degree of impairment to unproved oil and gas properties. For accounts receivable, we estimate the net collectibility, considering both historical and anticipated trends as well as the financial condition of the customer.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the survey is delivered to the customer and collectibility of the fee is reasonably assured. Amounts received in advance of performance and/or completion of such services are recorded as deferred revenue.
Accounts Receivable
For accounts receivable, if any, we estimate the net collectibility, considering both historical and anticipated trends as well as the financial condition of the customer.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from services increased to $80,000 from $0 in the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from services decreased by $1,835,025 to $164,975 from $2,000,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we rendered mapping services pursuant to minor service contracts with one and two customers, respectively, whereas we did not complete a service contract in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and had a significant service contract with one customer that was completed in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Generally, our services on a cash basis are pursuant to individual contracts for specific services to be performed over a short time frame, and are not a recurring source of revenues. The lack of significant revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 arose principally from our seeking to perform services for an ownership or royalty interest in projects or leaseholds rather than for a cash service fee, as well as in the first quarter of 2009, we were engaged in one significant services contract during that period. In addition, we were concentrating on seeking potential joint venture partners in exploiting our technology and other opportunities presented to us.
We anticipate that, subject to global economic conditions and willingness of potential clients to expand capital on exploration activities, during the next twelve months, if we achieve our capital raising goals of focusing on fee for service work, we will be engaged in joint ventures and internal resource projects. The purpose of focusing on internal resource projects is to generate reserves and to establish that the technology can increase the success rate in oil, gas and other mineral exploration projects. There can be no assurance that if we obtain the needed financing we will be successful in establishing the efficacy of our technology. We will also seek to find potential joint venture partners with whom the technology can be used to gain participation interests in projects as well as fee for service revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in finding such joint venture partners. Until we negotiate and enter into definitive agreements for ownership or royalty interests as compensation, we have no basis for predicting when or how much revenue could be generated from such ownership or royalty interests, or from the exploitation of our land leases, if and when drilling is commenced. Negotiations in connection with ownership or royalty positions often take longer than the negotiations for fee for service arrangements.
Current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and in exploration related spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our business and operating results are impacted by the health of exploration companies, domestic and international, engaged in oil and gas and other exploration activities. Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in research and development and other spending by exploration companies.
Cost of Revenues
Costs associated with revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $40,350 and $0, respectively. Costs associated with revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $44,118 and $1,355,000, respectively. Historically, our cost of revenues has consisted primarily of payments to the Institute for analysis services. Our fees payable to the Institute under our prior arrangement with the Institute were subject to negotiation on a per project basis and accordingly our costs varied on a project basis. On April 27, 2009, we terminated our license and services arrangement with the Institute and acquired certain of its technologies that we have utilized in our operations. Based on our historical activities, we anticipate that our costs of revenue will ordinarily be approximately 60% of revenue.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $286,578, or 57%, to $216,928 from $503,506 in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as a percentage of revenue were approximately 271%.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $84,105, or 17%, to $1,108,245 from $1,192,350 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 as a percentage of revenue were approximately 672% and 60%, respectively.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 consisted primarily of professional and consulting fees of approximately $53,514, employee salaries and stock based compensation of approximately $165,937, stock based compensation decreased by $84,803 due to the revaluation of the stock appreciation rights at period end, and travel expenses of approximately $32,173. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of professional and consulting fees of approximately $195,207, employee salaries and stock based compensation of approximately $126,302, and travel expenses of approximately $12,634. The majority of the professional fees result from legal and accounting fees, and from the engagement of various consultants to assist us in marketing our business.
Our operating expenses decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense. Excluding compensation expense, our operating expenses decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2010 in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2009 because we have been concentrating on seeking services contracts with prospective clients and potential joint venture partners in exploiting our technology, which decreased our operating costs. This has decreased professional fees and consulting fees, offset by an increase in travel expenses.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted primarily of professional and consulting fees of approximately $279,790, employee salaries and benefits of approximately $344,018, stock based compensation of approximately $307,371, rent expenses of $43,700, and travel expenses of approximately $50,070. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of professional fees of approximately $181,811, employee salaries and benefits of approximately $274,941, stock based compensation of approximately $578,000, and travel expenses of approximately $25,334.
Operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to a decrease in stock based compensation, as we have focused primarily on raising additional capital in the first half of fiscal 2010 and on the development of projects.
If we are successful in raising new capital or generating substantial service projects, we would expect our operating expenses to increase as we would have the capital to engage in various oil and gas and mining exploration projects. The increase in operating expenses could result from the hiring of geologists and other oil and gas professionals to assist us in carrying out the farm-in aspect of our business strategy. Travel related expenses could increase in the future, as many of our customers, and prospective customers and projects, and the territories for which our services are requested or utilized, are located in western United States and in foreign countries. Further, if sufficient funding were available, we would contemplate opening a Houston service center which would decrease travel related expenses but would increase office expenses significantly.
Our employee compensation expenses may increase if we are successful in raising new capital. The increase could result from the hiring of geologists, consultants and other oil and gas professionals to assist the Company in carrying out the farm-in aspect of our business strategy. Travel related expenses could increase in the future, as many of our customers, and prospective customers and projects, and the territories for which our services are requested or utilized, are located in western United States and in foreign countries. Alternatively, if sufficient funding were available, we would contemplate opening a Houston office which would decrease travel and entertainment expenses but would increase office expenses significantly.
Interest Expense
In the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had net interest expense of $2,538 and $3,230, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had net interest expense of $6,856 and $3,230, respectively. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to an increase in interest expenses associated with loans.
Net Loss
The net losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $178,754 and $506,406 respectively. The decrease in net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 principally resulted from decreased compensation expenses, in addition to a decreases in operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) attributable to common shareholders was $0.00 and $0.01, respectively.
The net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $993,113 and $550,260, respectively. The increase in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 principally resulted from a decrease in revenue generating activity during the first two quarters of 2010 in combination with an increase in stock compensation expenses. For the six month ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our net loss per common share (basic and diluted) attributable to common shareholders was $0.01 and $0.01, respectively.

Our primary sources of liquidity have been proceeds generated by the sale of our common stock, convertible debentures, and preferred stock to private investors, and sales of noncontrolling interests in limited partnerships. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cash increased by $3,054. Of the increase in cash, $648,936 was used in operating activities, $1,110 was used in investing activities, and $653,100 was provided by financing activities.
Current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our operating results are impacted by the health of the North American economy as well as economies worldwide. Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility, recession, and the reluctance of potential clients to engage in exploration activities in light of recent economic conditions. Additionally, we may experience difficulties in scaling our operations to react to such economic pressures.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities resulted in deficit cash flows of $648,936 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with deficit cash flows of $1,168,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows from operating activities resulted in deficit cash flows of $648,936, primarily due to a net loss of $993,113 plus non-cash charges of $21,495, adjustments for an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $866, an increase in accounts receivable of $46,854, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $37,790. The most significant drivers behind the decrease in our non-cash working capital were charges for stock based compensation of $310,812.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash flows from operating activities resulted in deficit cash flows of primarily due to a net loss of $550,260, plus non-cash charges of $66,864, adjustments for a decrease in deferred costs of $600,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $544,105, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $213,012, and a decrease in deferred revenues of $1,455,900. The most significant drivers behind the decrease in our non-cash working capital were charges for stock based compensation of $578,000.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,110 and $0, respectively..
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows from investing activities resulted in a deficit of $1,110, due to the purchase of fixed assets.
Depending on our available funds and other business needs, it is our intention to engage in fee for service activities, and engage in a farm-in strategy during the next twelve months in which we make small investments in the exploration projects of others. There is no assurance we will have the financing to pursue this strategy or if pursued that it will be successful in developing reserves of hydrocarbons.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $653,100, consisting of $808,310 from the sales of units of common stock and warrants to several investors, and repayments of loans in the amount of $155,210. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by financing activities was $500,000, from the sales of common stock and warrants to three investors.
Future Needs
Our management has concerns as to the ability of our company to continue as a going concern in the absence of raising additional equity capital, debt financing or obtaining significant new fee for service business. We believe that our available cash is inadequate to support our month-to-month obligations for the next twelve months. Establishing ownership or other interests in natural resource exploration projects will require significant capital resources.
Our current business plan for fiscal 2010 calls for us to perform our exploration technology services to other companies and to farm-in on eight to twelve prospects. This business plan calls for our company to raise approximately $7.1 million in fiscal 2010. If we are unable to raise such funding, we will not be able to act on our business plan as we currently intend. To the extent we raise a lesser amount, we will only be able to act on our business plan on a limited basis.
Under our business model, we do not anticipate incurring significant research and development expenditures during the next twelve months; however, subject to available capital, we may seek to acquire certain innovative exploration technologies and build geochemical facilities.
We do not anticipate the sale of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months. Depending on our future business prospects and the growth of our business, and the need for additional employees, we may seek to lease new executive office facilities or to open offices in Texas.
As of June 30, 2010, we had 19 employees (including employees of corporate subsidiaries), of which 6 persons worked on a full-time basis. Our future employment plans are uncertain given our working capital deficit and lack of revenues and are subject to available working capital.
We are seeking to raise approximately $7.1 million to pursue development efforts during the next twelve months. We plan to use this money to engage in several farm-in projects. It is our intention to sell securities and incur debt when the terms of such transactions are deemed favorable to us and as necessary to fund our current and projected cash needs. While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and farm-in on oil and gas properties to create a holding of 8 to 12 natural resource interests in U.S. oil and gas prospects. We are seeking financing, which may take the form of equity, convertible debt or debt, in order to provide the necessary working capital.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such funding or, in the event we are successful, that the terms of such funding will be on terms advantageous to us. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing authorized shares of common or preferred stock. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. However, if we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and we will have to delay our planned or proposed operations and development and continue to conduct activities on a limited scale.
INFLATION
We do not expect inflation to have a significant impact on our business in the future.
SEASONALITY
We do not expect seasonal aspects to have a significant impact on our business in the future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT
To date, we do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.
GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The reports of the independent registered public accounting firms on our December 31, 2009 and 2008 financial statements included in our Annual Reports for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 stated that our recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise new investment capital, we will have to discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the value of our common and preferred stock. We can make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations.
We have a working capital deficiency as a result of our large operational losses. We have been and are seeking financing, which may take the form of equity, convertible debt or debt, in order to provide the necessary working capital. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in consummating a financing transaction. Further, in the event we obtain an offer of private or public funding, there is no assurance that such funding would be on terms favorable to us. The failure to obtain such funding will threaten our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations, and, in the absence of revenues from operations, to our ability to raise additional equity or debt capital and to develop profitable operations. We continue to experience net operating losses. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, we focused on restructuring our operations to reduce operating costs and in seeking capital.
The primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address the going concern issues include: seeking institutional investors for debt or equity investments in our Company, and initiating negotiations to secure short term financing through promissory notes or other debt instruments on an as needed basis.
To improve our liquidity, our management has been actively pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers, venture capital firms and private investors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to secure additional financing.
In fiscal 2009 and in the current fiscal year, we focused on obtaining additional investment capital to restart our service and exploration efforts, and to create case studies demonstrating the value of the STeP technology. We plan to continue such efforts during the next twelve months, subject to the receipt of adequate financing. We intend to demonstrate the value of our licensed technology by pursuing (i) a fee for service business model with exploration companies, which may include seeking royalties on the exploration project and (ii) a farm-in strategy of investing in drilling projects when our STeP technology concurs with the available seismic studies on the projects. Our goal is to demonstrate success rates which are better than industry averages and thereby establish the value of our technology while generating hydrocarbon reserves and internally generating cash flow to support our cost of operations.
Our goal continues to be to enter into agreements whereby we provide our services, such as providing site locations and depth locations, to natural resource exploration companies in exchange for royalties or ownership rights, and fees, with regard to a specific natural resource exploration property. We may also seek to finance or otherwise participate in the efforts to recover natural resources from such properties. While we have oil exploration experience, we need substantial additional capital to conduct oil exploration activities alone. We continue to seek joint ventures to develop our operations, including examining, drilling, operating and financing such activities. We will determine our plan for our existing leases and for future leases we acquire based on our ability to fund such projects.
