PART I


Item 1. Description of Business


We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 30, 1998. We plan to build and operate WTE facilities (“WTE”) to process solid and hazardous wastes by incineration on our own and through collaboration with strategic partners and others.  We expect that this processing will produce marketable electricity, potable water and components in construction materials including cement and road beds.


Our business plan is to locate, finance, build and operate WTE facilities for governmental entities and others charged with the disposal of municipal, commercial, industrial and certain hazardous wastes.  We intend to focus on municipalities that have significant waste-handling and land fill problems and areas that can benefit from potable water and additional electricity production.  Our primary marketing strategies include direct contact with government officials and large producers and handlers of waste.  We also intend to rely on limited and highly targeted advertising.  Integral to these methods is the development of strong brand identification for us coupled with increasing awareness of our target markets in the financial, ecological and tactical advantages of WTE technology.


We have access to components and technologies that incinerate solid waste and hazardous waste at high temperatures.  The incinerator produces steam, which drives a turbine which produces electricity and condenses the steam into water.  The electricity and steam drive further processes which scrub smoke-stack air emissions, produce potable water, ash and enough excess electricity to sell.  We believe we can customize the operation of WTE facilities to suit community needs by maximizing electricity or potable water, with little or no loss of efficiency or environmental friendliness.


We believe we have technology and contractors available to us to build WTE disposal facilities that reduce solid waste output to approximately 16% of input, which we expect will break down as follows: 1.7% fly ash must be treated before it can be placed on a landfill and 14.3% is bottom ash of which 15% is ferrous materials that may be sold as scrap metal, 70% may be sold as construction material for manufacture of concrete, cinder block road beds, and 15% is discarded.


We believe our WTE facilities will generate revenues for ourselves, waste generators and collectors, and governments charged with disposal. We expect that our facilities will reduce the potential liabilities of waste generators and collectors for land-fill clean-up and reduce the need for governments to create land-fills.  We anticipate three primary income streams: (i) waste disposal (tipping fees), (ii) the sale of electricity and (iii) the sale of potable water.  We also expect to augment revenues by selling up to 70% of the ash produced from the processes as construction material, thereby also reducing our disposal costs.

 



5



We plan to build plants that are comprised of lines or modules.  Initially, each plant will have two to six lines that will cost in the range of $30 million to $50 million per line to construct, depending on the type of waste we are to receive.  Each line is estimated to consume approximately 100 tons of waste per day per line. These estimated costs do not include land acquisition costs, legal fees or management time.  We therefore need substantial additional capital to undertake plant development and construction and sales efforts. If we cannot obtain such financing, we will not be able to execute our business plan or continue to operate.


We recently purchased proprietary patented technologies, including Add-Power, a low temperature turbine (LTT), and ScrubPower, a special emission-to-energy system, from three Swedish entities - Anovo AB Angelholm, Add-Power AB Angelholm, and SUPE Ltd - for a total consideration of $2.8 million. We plan to use these technologies to increase the efficiency of our own planned WTE facilities. We also believe that we will be able to sell these technologies to other companies in the energy space in order to help these companies increase their output of electricity.


We believe that the acquisition of these technologies will allow us to convert greater quantities of heat, produced from boilers and turbines, and potentially increase the output of salable electricity by 20% to 30% over technologies that are currently available. We also believe that the LTT technology will provide us with an efficient “low-temp turbine” which is powered by a proprietary fluid to drive the turbine and produce electricity at approximately 200° F, whereas most conventional boilers and turbines can only produce electricity at temperatures between 600° - 800° F.


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we developed contacts in several countries that we believe may lead to the construction of WTE facilities.  These contacts are located, and WTE facilities are proposed, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Egypt and the United States. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Presidency of Metrology and Environment issued to us in July 2006 an environmental license which we expect will enable us to establish WTE plants in this country. We have identified certain countries and geographic regions where, due to varying combinations of land fill shortages, energy needs and potable water scarcity, we believe WTE technology would be particularly effective.  We believe our management’s experience in the waste management industry positions us to address the waste management needs of developed and developing nations. In November 2006, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Sistemas Ecologicas Para La Protecion Ambiental S.A. (“SEPA”) and Mr. Mario Salguero Rossainzz. The agreement provides that the joint venture will build and operate a WTE plant in the City of Mexicali, North Baja California, Mexico.  We have not realized any WTE related revenues to date.


During the last fiscal year, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation Protocol Agreement with the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The purpose of the agreement, which was entered into in September 2007, is to be facilitated by a joint venture between our Company and Desert Blue Company, a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provider of environmental cleanup and waste recycling and recovery solutions, and that the joint venture company will be named International Power Group Egypt, Ltd.

We started the development of the site and are in the process of building the land field facilities as part of phase one of this joint venture. We have not realized any WTE related revenues out this joint venture.


Competition


Competition for disposal of solid waste is high.  This competition comes from public and private commercial trash haulers, commercial and industrial companies that handle their own waste collection and disposal, public and private WTE companies and municipalities and regional government authorities.  We have developed a business plan that we believe will maximize our know-how and limited financial assets in a manner that will best enable us to compete in this very competitive environment.


We believe that the WTE field, due to its relatively young age in the history of solid waste disposal, presents opportunity because of the disparities in technologies and fragmentation in the industry.  New technologies emerge frequently.  Many have local application only, or insufficient exposure to draw global interest.  The components of our planned WTE technologies are commercially available.  We do not believe, however, that any entity has assembled or engineered facilities in the same manner as facilities that we plan to construct.  That is not to say that there is not substantial competition for the three primary sources of income from which we expect to receive revenue – tipping fees sales of electricity and potable water.  As to the production of saleable by-products, i.e. electricity, potable water and usable ash, we believe there will be competitors in the production of each of these products in each locale in which we plan to operate.  Due to the limited production of those products by our process and because they are only by-products, we plan to partner with potential competing vendors in those locales to gain the efficiencies of the established distribution networks.


Governmental agencies may be able to offer lower direct charges to waste producers for waste removal and potentially WTE incineration by subsidizing costs with tax revenues and tax-exempt financing.  Most municipalities presently operate solid waste disposal facilities, most of them as landfills.  These facilities generally are subsidized by tax revenues and often produce fiscal losses in addition to environmental damage.  We believe we can partner with governmental authorities and provide WTE technologies that can produce profits for IPWG, save our customers substantial amounts and be environmentally responsible.


We expect to compete for business on the basis of geographic location, environmental advantages of WTE over landfills, “tipping” or waste disposal fees, power generation fees, the sale of potable water, and the quality of operations.  Our ability to obtain permits and to locate WTE facilities may be limited in areas where there is adequate space for low cost landfill based disposal of waste, inadequate tipping fees for waste disposal, or abundant and inexpensive sources of electrical power generation and potable water. We expect that operational costs will be offset (with excess revenue for debt service and profits) by a combination of tipping fees and sales of by-products (electricity, water and saleable ash products).  If the combination of the revenue streams is estimated to be insufficient to operate a WTE facility, service its debt and produce a profit, we believe that neither local community nor our potential financial sources will approve such a facility.  Labor, operating and disposal costs, as well as the value of our by-



7



products, vary widely throughout the areas in which we plan to operate.  The tipping fees we expect to charge will be determined locally, and typically vary by the volume and weight, type of waste, treatment requirements, risk of handling or disposal, and labor costs.


Raw materials


We believe there is a readily available supply of machinery, materials, equipment and associated vendors to design, fabricate, construct and if necessary operate the WTE plants that we expect to build.  We believe the worldwide need for WTE plants continues to expand as energy costs and the need for potable water increases and open space for land-fills declines.  Increasing energy costs coupled with waste generation and fewer landfills provides a growing opportunity for renewable energy solutions.  We do not believe we are dependent on any one source for supply of any of the products used in our planned WTE process.


We also do not believe that there will be a shortage of waste on which to run our proposed facilities.  However, as mentioned above in “Competition,” others compete for tipping fees to dispose of solid and hazardous wastes.  We anticipate that the government and private agencies for whom we build WTE facilities will be responsible for providing the waste, which will be processed through our planned facilities.  We plan to enter into long term tipping arrangements with producers of waste and possibly to securitize or insure the revenues of those contracts to finance construction and operation of our facilities.


We believe there are adequate capital markets, assuming the creditworthiness of the contracting party to the tipping fee contracts, the power generation agreements and potable water sales (or availability of insurance to augment the creditworthiness of such contracting parties), to securitize the cash flow from such agreements.


Intellectual Property


We own certain proprietary patented technologies through Add-Power. We otherwise do not own any patents, trademarks or licenses.  We expect this Add-Power patented technology will benefit our business of developing WTE facilities and expanding into other alternative energy businesses.  We continue to negotiate with parties who provide adequate technologies to execute our business plan.


Our business plan relies upon the use of existing technology available and commonly applied in various non-US countries, as well as proprietary technologies that we hope to purchase or license.  We intend to employ WTE technology that has been developed in Sweden and other European countries (over 29 WTE power plants exist in Sweden alone).  WTE solutions are increasingly common in other countries, as well, including other industrialized nations such as Japan that emphasize WTE because of their limited landfill space. WTE can reduce the volume of waste disposed in landfills by up to 90 percent, which prolongs the life of available landfill space.

Government Approval and the Effect of Government Regulations


The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) has adopted regulations related to several aspects of solid waste management, including but not limited to regulations related to the products of waste combustion, heavy metal disposal and ground water contamination.  We believe that our proposed WTE facilities’ regulated emissions will be less than permissible limits although no assurance can be given that the proposed WTE facilities will perform as specified or that applicable regulations will not be strengthened.  Additionally, we will


Number of Employees


We currently have 12 employees (seven officers and five administrative personnel).  Our officers devote as much time to our business as they deem necessary, which presently is in excess of 40 hours per week.  However, each is also involved in other business ventures.  Our administrative employees work fulltime for us.


Item 1a. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information included in this Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our business and future prospects. Any of the following risks, either alone or taken together, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operation. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we projected. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial which could also impair our business or financial position.


Business and Financial Risks


Our accountants have issued a going concern opinion and we have limited working capital, minimal net worth and substantial current losses that inhibit our ability to implement our business plan.


To date, we have met our working capital requirements through the private placement of our securities and through loans. We believe that we will need an additional $11.7 million to fund the plant design and development and operations that we plan to do over the next 12 months. Since entering the WTE field in November 2004, we have not generated any revenue from WTE facilities operations and have experienced substantial losses. As of December 31, 2007, we had a negative working capital of $2.7 million



9



We have a history of losses and an accumulated deficit; our future profitability is uncertain.


We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception and we expect to incur additional operating losses as we develop WTE facilities.  As of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $23 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we reported a loss of approximately $6.9 million.


There is no assurance that we will successfully develop a commercially viable product.


We plan to be assemblers of WTE technology.  As of December 31, 2007, other than the process by which we plan to assemble the described WTE facilities and our Add-Power patented technology, we do not have any patented intellectual property of our own and we are dependent on our relationships with third-parties for location of sites to build facilities, permits for operation, construction of the facilities, purchase of the parts to assemble the facilities, operation of the facilities and sales of the by-products.  Since our formation in November 30, 1998, we have engaged in various activities and businesses, but we have not produced a profit.  We have generated no revenue from WTE facilities operations, do not have any operational WTE facilities, and no revenues are expected to be realized from WTE facilities until 2008, if at all.  There can be no assurance that our efforts will lead to the construction of WTE facilities, or revenues or profits from such facilities if built.

We will need substantial additional funds to construct WTE facilities; if financing is not available, we may be required to reduce or cease operations or pursue other financing alternatives.


Our operations to date have consumed substantial amounts of cash.  Negative cash flow from operations is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.  Without substantial additional financing, we may be required to reduce some or all of our WTE project development plans or cease operations.   We plan to build plants that are comprised of lines or modules.  Initially, each plant will have two to six lines that will cost in the range of $30 million to $50 million per line to construct, depending on the type of waste we are to receive.  Each line is estimated to consume approximately 100 tons of waste per day per line. These estimated costs do not include land acquisition costs, legal fees or management time.  We therefore need substantial additional capital to undertake plant development and construction and sales efforts. If we cannot obtain such financing, we will not be able to execute our business plan or continue to operate.


Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of responses to our proposals and permit requests, cost of financing projects, availability and price of materials to construct our proposed WTE plants, changes in tipping fees that we hope to receive, availability and timely delivery of waste to power WTE facilities once built, the amount we can charge for the WTE by-products and the costs of environmental compliance, including disposal of residual waste.  We may seek to satisfy future funding requirements through public or private offerings of equity securities, by collaborative or other arrangements with other partners and competitors, issuance of debt or from other sources.  Additional financing may not be available when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms.  If adequate financing is not available, we may not be able to continue as a going concern or may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain programs, forego desired opportunities or license third parties rights to develop locations that we would otherwise seek to develop internally.  To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, ownership dilution to existing stockholders will result.


Our chances for success are reduced because we are an early stage company with regard to our new business operation.


We have a limited operating history. We are therefore subject to all the risks and challenges associated with the operation of a new enterprise, including inexperience, lack of a track record, difficulty in entering the targeted market place, competition from more established businesses with greater financial resources and experience, an inability to attract and retain qualified personnel (including technical, engineering, sales and marketing personnel) and a need for additional capital to finance our efforts and intended growth.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these and other risks and challenges that we face as a new business enterprise.



11



We need substantial additional financing to execute our business plan which may not be available. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to continue operations.


We need substantial additional capital to undertake plant development and construction and sales efforts.  Our current resources are insufficient to fund operations.  We believe that we will need an additional $11.7 million to fund the plant design and development and operations that we plan to do over the next 12 months.  We have not and cannot assure you that we will be able to secure any such financing.  We may not be able to find financing on terms that are acceptable to us.  If we cannot obtain such financing, we will not be able to execute our business plan or continue operations.


We do not have employment contracts with any of our employees.


Development of our business depends to a significant degree on the continuing contributions of our key management and technical personnel on whom we rely to assist in the design, development, construction and operation of our proposed WTE facilities. We cannot assure you that they will remain with us, especially because we do not have any employment contracts with these persons.


We are dependent on third party relationships for critical aspects of our business; problems in these relationships may increase costs and/or diminish our ability to implement our business plan.


We intend to use the expertise and resources of strategic partners and other third parties in a number of key areas, including (i) engineering, (ii) development, including licensing and permitting, (iii) product development and sales and (iv) construction and operation of WTE facilities.  If these third parties do not perform in a timely and satisfactory manner, we may incur costs and delays as we seek alternate sources, if available.  Such costs and delays may have a material adverse effect on our business.


We may seek additional third party relationships in certain areas, particularly in marketing and construction, where collaborators may enable us to enter geographic markets that are otherwise beyond our current resources and/or capabilities.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such relationships.  Our inability to obtain and maintain relationships with third parties may have a material adverse effect on our business, by slowing our ability to execute our business plan, requiring us to expand our internal capabilities, increasing our overhead expenses, impinging on future growth opportunities or causing us to delay or terminate projects.


We may face delays in the development of our technologies and our technology may not work as expected or be economically viable.



12



The technologies we intend to use have not yet been widely applied within the solid waste industry and may not work as well as expected or be economically viable.  The successful application of the technologies at the scales we contemplate has yet to occur.  The inability to produce large volumes of energy under our current plan may require investment in capital equipment and operating expenses beyond our business and construction plans.  Unforeseen difficulties in the development or acceptance of energy produced from waste may lead to delays in the implementation of our WTE process and the subsequent generation of revenue.


We will depend on a significant supply of solid waste and timely payment for that solid waste.


If we do not obtain a supply of solid waste at quantities and qualities that are sufficient to operate our proposed facilities at expected operating levels, our financial condition and operating results could adversely be affected.  One or more of the following factors could impact the price and supply of waste:


§

defaults by waste suppliers under their contracts;


§

a decline in solid waste supply due to increased recovery by material recovery facilities;


§

composting of solid waste;


§

incineration of solid waste;


§

legal prohibitions against processing of certain types of solid waste in our facilities; or


§

increased competition from landfills and recycling facilities.


Environmental regulations and litigation could subject us to fines, penalties, judgments and limitations on our ability to expand.


We are subject to potential liability and restrictions under environmental laws, including those relating to handling, recycling, treatment, storage of wastes, discharges to air and water, and the remediation of contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater.  The waste management industry has been and will continue to be subject to regulation, including permitting and related financial assurance requirements, as well as to attempts to further regulate the industry through new legislation.  Our business is subject to a wide range of federal, state and, in some cases, local environmental, odor and noise and land use restrictions and regulations.  If we are not able to comply with the requirements that apply to a particular facility or if we operate without necessary approvals, we could be subject to civil, and possibly criminal, fines and penalties, and we may be required to spend substantial capital to bring an operation into compliance or to temporarily or permanently discontinue, and/or take corrective actions.  We currently do not have insurance coverage for our environmental liabilities, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage in the future.  Those costs or actions could be significant to us and significantly impact our results of operations, as well as our available capital.



13



In addition to the costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations, if governmental agencies or private parties brought environmental litigation against us, we would likely incur substantial costs in defending against such actions.  We may in the future be a defendant in lawsuits brought by parties alleging environmental damage, personal injury, and/or property damage.  A judgment against us, or a settlement by us, could harm our business, our prospects and our reputation.


We cannot predict with certainty the extent of future costs under environmental, health and safety laws, and cannot guarantee that they will not be material.


We could be liable if our operations cause environmental damage to our properties or to the property of other landowners, particularly as a result of the contamination of potable water sources or soil.  Under current law, we could even be held liable for damage caused by conditions that existed before we acquired the assets or operations involved.  Any substantial liability for environmental damage could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


We may be exposed to litigation in the ordinary course of our business.


Since our personnel are expected to routinely handle solid waste materials, we may be subject to liability claims by employees, customers and third parties.


We may be unable to obtain required financing or permits.


We plan to construct our initial facilities in Mexico and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which will require substantial funding.  We cannot assure you that we will obtain the necessary financing or environmental permits to build and operate these facilities, or retain the permits that are required to operate the facilities or obtain financing or permits we require to build and operate our intended additional facilities.  Permits to build and operate waste processing facilities have become increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain and retain as a result of many factors including numerous hearings and compliance with zoning, environmental and other regulatory measures.  The granting of these permits is also often subject to resistance from citizen.


Waste to energy technology has not yet gained market acceptance, nor do we know whether a market will develop for it in the foreseeable future.


WTE technology has received only limited market acceptance.  This technology is relatively new to the market place and we have not generated any revenues from WTE technology.  Although ever growing concerns and regulation regarding the environment and pollution has increased interest in environmentally friendly products generally, the industry remains in an evolving state.  WTE technology competes with more established companies in the waste and alternative energy fields.  Acceptance of WTE technology to traditional products and/or services depends upon a number of factors including:


§

favorable pricing vis-a-vis other alternatives



14



§

the ability to establish the feasibility and reliability of WTE technology


§

public perception of the product


For these reasons, we are uncertain whether WTE technology will gain acceptance.  Our future success depends upon such acceptance.


WTE technology may be adversely affected by future technological changes and environmental regulatory requirements as well as reduction of traditional energy costs or the establishment of lower priced energy alternatives.


Changes in governmental regulation and technological advances by others in the waste or energy industries may render our technology obsolete.  Research in this area is currently being sponsored by governmental agencies, major utilities, oil companies and other energy suppliers.  If such research is successful, the need for our technology could be reduced or eliminated.


Confidentiality agreements may not adequately protect our business information which could result in unauthorized disclosure or unfair competition.


We consider our business relationships and process for assembling commercially available equipment to construct WTE facilities proprietary.  We require our employees, consultants and third parties with whom we share our business plans and confidential information to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationship with us.  The agreements generally provide that trade secrets and all inventions conceived by the individual and all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the term of the relationship will be our exclusive property and will be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances.  There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our business information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.  If our unpatented intellectual property is publicly disclosed before we have been granted patent protection, our competitors could be unjustly enriched and we could lose the ability to profitably develop products from such information.


We face intense competition and may not have the financial and human resources necessary to keep up with rapid technological changes which may result in our technology becoming obsolete.


The energy production and alternate energy businesses and related businesses are subject to rapid technological change, especially due to environmental protection regulations, and subject to intense competition.  We compete with both established companies and a significant number of startup enterprises.  Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, engineering and marketing resources than we do and may independently develop superior technologies which may result in our technology becoming less competitive or obsolete.  We may not be able to keep pace with this change.  If we cannot keep up with these advances in a timely manner, we will be unable to compete in our chosen markets.

 



15



We depend on our executive officers and need additional marketing, engineering, administrative and technical personnel to be successful. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain or attract such persons; our current officers have other business endeavors in addition to their work for our company.


Since we are a small company, a loss of one or more of our current officers would severely and negatively impact our operations.  To implement our business plan, we will need additional marketing, administrative, engineering and technical personnel.  The market for such persons remains competitive and our limited financial resources may make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons.  If any of our officers were to resign or not be able to continue to devote his time to our business, it may have a materially adverse effect upon our business.


Our officers, who are active employees, presently devote in excess of 40 hours per week to our business activities.  However, they also have outside business activities which may cause a conflict regarding the time available to devote to our business.


Our current management has a significant voting majority of our company’s outstanding common stock and can prevent changes in management, policy or outside takeover of our business.


Our current officers and directors own over 62% of our issued and outstanding common stock and can control the appointment and/or election of all directors and officers.


Risks Related to Construction of WTE Plants


We will depend on third parties to design and build our WTE facilities. However, their failure to perform could force us to abandon business, hinder out ability to operate profitably or decrease the value of your investment.


We will be highly dependent upon third parties to design and build our WTE facilities.  If the third parties do not perform for any reason, there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain a replacement general contractor.  Any such event may force us to abandon our business.  We do, however, intend to purchase performance bonds to mitigate some of the risk of a contractor terminating its relationship with us after initiation of construction.


We may need to increase cost estimates for construction of our WTE facilities, and such increase could result in devaluation of your investment if plant construction requires additional capital.


We anticipate that our WTE facilities will be built for a fixed contract price, based on the plans and specifications in anticipated design-build agreements.  We will base our cost estimates for construction of any WTE facilities on certain assumptions after discussions and negotiations with parties with design-build experience.  There is no assurance that the final cost of the plants will not be higher.  There is no assurance that there will not be design changes or cost overruns associated with the construction of the WTE facilities.  In addition, steel prices and shortages of



16



steel could affect the final cost and final completion date of any project.  Any significant increase in the estimated construction cost of the plants could delay our ability to generate revenues and reduce the value of your investment because our expected revenue streams may not be able to adequately support the increased cost and expense attributable to increased construction costs.


The political climate in some of the countries where we intend to build WTE facilities could cause problems in the completion of our plants, negatively affecting our plans.


We may meet resistance to our efforts to build our WTE facilities in certain countries.  The résistance may be caused by political unrest, labor or union issues, environmental problems, shortage of materials, economic conditions or other issues.  There is no assurance that such resistance will not have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan.


WTE facility construction delays could result in devaluation of your investment if our production and sale of power are similarly delayed.


Construction projects often involve delays in obtaining permits, construction delays due to weather conditions, or other events that delay the construction schedule.  The builder and designer of the plants may be involved in the construction of other projects while constructing our WTE facilities.  This could cause delays in our construction schedules. Changes in interest rates or the credit environment or changes in political administrations at the federal, state or local level that result in policy changes towards waste to energy or our proposed projects could also cause construction and operation delays.  If it takes longer to construct the WTE facilities than we anticipate, it would delay our ability to generate revenue and make it difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations.  This could reduce the value of your investment.


Defects in construction could result in devaluation of your investment if our plants do not produce power as anticipated.


There is no assurance that defects in materials and/or workmanship in the WTE facilities will not occur.  Under the terms of the anticipated design-build agreements, the designer builder would warrant that the material and equipment furnished to build the plant will be new, of good quality, and free from material defects in material or workmanship at the time of delivery.  Though we expect the design-build agreements to require the contractors to correct all defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year after substantial completion of the plant, material defects in material or workmanship may still occur.  Such defects could delay the commencement of operations of the plants, or, if such defects are discovered after operations have commenced, could cause us to halt or discontinue the plant’s operation.  Halting or discontinuing plant operations could delay our ability to generate revenues and reduce the value of your investment.


Plant sites may have unknown environmental problems that could be expensive and time consuming to correct, which may delay or halt WTE facilities’ construction and delay our ability to generate revenue.


We intend to build our WTE facilities all over the world.  Accordingly, in areas with which we are not familiar, we will depend on third parties in locating and evaluating the proposed sites for



17



our plants.  As a result, we could encounter unknown environmental problems that will be costly and time consuming to correct, or may not be correctible at all.  These risks of environmental problems could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan.  Upon encountering a hazardous environmental condition, we may suspend work in the affected area.  If we receive notice of a hazardous environmental condition, we may be required to correct the condition prior to continuing construction.  The presence of a hazardous environmental condition will likely delay construction of the plant and may require significant expenditure of our resources to correct the condition.  In addition, the designer builder will likely be entitled to an adjustment in price and time of performance if it has been adversely affected by the hazardous environmental condition.  If we encounter any hazardous environmental conditions during construction that require time or money to correct, such event could delay our ability to generate revenues and reduce the value or your investment.


Changes in environmental regulations or violations of the regulations could be expensive and reduce the value of your investment.


We will be subject to extensive air, water and other environmental regulations and we will need to obtain a number of environmental permits to construct and operate WTE facilities.  In addition, it is likely that our obtaining debt financing will be contingent on our ability to obtain the various environmental permits that we will require.  If for any reason, any of these permits are not granted, construction costs for WTE facilities may increase, or the WTE facilities may not be constructed at all.  Additionally, any changes in environmental laws and regulations, both at the federal and state level, could require us to invest or spend considerable resources in order to comply with future environmental regulations.  The expense of compliance could be significant enough to reduce the value of your investment.


The operation of WTE facilities could subject us to claims or liability lawsuits.


The operation of WTE facilities may be considered inherently dangerous and injury to individuals or property may occur, subjecting us to lawsuits.  We do not currently have insurance for such possibilities.  Although we intend to seek insurance coverage, we may not be to do so at a cost we can afford, or the coverage may prove to be insufficient.  The time and cost of defending such suits could have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan.  Similarly, a costly judgment against us could cause us to cease operations.


Changes and advances in production technology could require us to incur costs to update our plans or could otherwise hinder our ability to compete in the industry or operate profitably.


Advances and changes in the technology of WTE facilities are expected to occur.  Such advances and changes may make the technology we plan to install in our WTE facilities less desirable or obsolete.  These advances could also allow our competitors to operate a lower cost than we expect.  If we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances, our methods and processes could be less efficient than our competitors, which could cause us to become uncompetitive or our projects obsolete.  If our competitors develop, obtain or license technology that is superior to ours or that makes our technology obsolete, we may be required to incur



18



 significant costs to enhance or acquire new technology so that we remain competitive.  Alternatively, we may be required to seek third-party licenses, which could also result in significant expenditures.  We cannot guarantee or assure you that third-party licenses will be available or, if obtained, will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  These costs could negatively impact our expected financial performance by increasing planned operating costs and reducing expected revenues, which could reduce the value of your investment.


Risks Related to the Power Industry


Competition from the advancement of alternative power may lessen the demand for our technology which could negatively impact our potential for profitability and reduce the value or your investment.


Alternative power and energy technologies and production methods are continually under development.  New developments could reduce the demand for our expected power production and technology, which would negatively impact the value of your investment.


Consumer resistance to the concept of converting waste to energy based on the belief that it is expensive to produce, adds to air pollution, is odorous and takes more energy to produce than it contributes may affect our ability to achieve market acceptance and reduce the value of your investment.


Based upon public consumer reports, we believe that certain consumers may resist the concept of converting waste to energy due to the fallacy that WTE facilities add to air pollution and are odorous.  Still other consumers may believe that the process of producing power from waste takes more energy in the conversion than the power that is actually produced.  If we cannot overcome these misconceptions, market acceptance may be difficult and this could negatively affect the value of your investment.


Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” Limits the trading and liquidity of our common stock.


The bid and ask quotations of our common stock have been reflected on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “IPWG” since March 9, 2007. Prior thereto, the quotations were reflected on the Unsolicited Pink Sheets.  Since our common stock continues to be quoted below $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our stock can be publicly traded.  These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks.  Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.



19



These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.


The Trading Price of our Common Stock May be Volatile.


The trading price of our stock has, from time to time, fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations.  The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth in this prospectus as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the market place, and other events or factors.  In recent years, stock market indices, in general, and the securities of technology companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations.  Such market fluctuations may adversely affect the future trading price of our common stock.


We have sold stock in private placements; the stock sold in those private placements and any others we may conduct may become freely tradable and have a depressive effect on the market price of our stock.


Approximately 87,763,700 of our 373,441,971 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2007 are in the “publicly trading float.”  Public sale of those shares, as well as the registration and subsequent public sale of the remaining shares could have a depressive effect on the public market price of our common stock.


Our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our ability to consummate future equity financings due to the dilution potential to future investors.


We have outstanding options and warrants for the purchase of shares of our common stock which may adversely affect our ability to consummate future equity financings.  To the extent any such options and warrants are exercised, the value of our outstanding shares of our common stock will be diluted.


As of December 31, 2007, we have outstanding vested options to purchase 26,825,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.42 and vested warrants to purchase 11,737,123 shares of common stock with a weighted-average price of $0.44


Due to the number of shares of common stock we are obligated to sell pursuant to outstanding options and warrants described above, potential investors may not purchase our future equity offerings at market price because of the potential dilution such investors may suffer as a result of the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants.


The market price of our common stock has experienced significant volatility.


The securities markets from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.  In addition, the market prices of the common stock of many publicly traded solid waste companies have been and can be expected to be especially volatile.  Our common stock price in the 52-week period ended



20



December 31, 2007, had a low of $0.05 and high of $0.48.  Announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, developments or disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights, publicity regarding actual or potential by us or our competitors, regulatory developments in both the United States and foreign countries, delays in our schedules and economic and other external factors, as well as period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.  The realization of any of the risks described in these “Risk Factors” may have a significant adverse impact on such market prices.


We may pay vendors in stock as consideration for their services; this may result in stockholder dilution, additional costs and difficulty retaining certain vendors.


In order for us to preserve our cash resources, we have previously and may in the future pay certain vendors in stock, warrants or options to purchase shares of our common stock rather than cash.  Payments for services in stock may materially and adversely affect our stockholders by diluting the value of outstanding shares of our common stock.  In addition, in situations where we have agreed to register the stock issued to a vendor, this will generally cause us to incur additional expenses associated with such registration.  Paying vendors in stock, warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock may also limit our ability to contract with the vendor of our choice should that vendor decline payment in stock.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. Until such time as we pay cash dividends our stockholders must rely on increases in our stock price for appreciation.


We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock.  We intend to retain future earnings to develop and commercialize our products and therefore we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Until such time as we determine to pay cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders must rely on increases in our common stock’s market price for appreciation.


If we do not effectively manage our growth, our resources, systems and controls may be strained and our operating results may suffer.


We plan to add to our workforce and to continue to increase the size of our workforce and scope of our operations as we continue to develop our business plan and move towards construction of WTE facilities.  This growth of our operations will place a significant strain on our management personnel, systems and resources.  We may need to implement new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including the improvement of our accounting and other internal management systems.  These endeavors will require substantial management effort and skill, and we may require additional personnel and internal processes to manage these efforts.  If we are unable to effectively manage our expanding operations, our revenue and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.


Our obligations as a public company under the laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and related regulations, are likely to increase our expenses and administrative burden.  These expenses and burdens are particularly acute on companies of our small size.  Changes in the laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming.  These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.  This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.  We have and will continue to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from commercialization activities to compliance activities.  If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.



22



There are limitations on the liability of our directors, and we may have to indemnify our officers and directors in certain instances.


Our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.  Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors and may indemnify our employees and other agents.  These provisions may be in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions under Delaware law.  The indemnification provisions may require us, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance.  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made or threatened to be made a party to an action by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  Delaware law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director’s duty of care and the provisions of our certificate of incorporation have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunction or rescission, for a director’s breach of the duty of care.


We believe that our limitation of officer and director liability assists us to attract and retain qualified employees and directors.  However, in the event an officer, a director or the board of directors commits an act that may legally be indemnified under Delaware law, we will be responsible to pay for such officer(s) or director(s) legal defense and potentially any damages resulting there from.  Furthermore, the limitation on director liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders from instituting litigation against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders.  Given the difficult environment and potential for incurring liabilities currently facing directors of publicly-held corporations, we believe that director indemnification is in our and our stockholders’ best interests because it enhances our ability to attract and retain highly qualified directors and reduce a possible deterrent to entrepreneurial decision-making.


Nevertheless, limitations of director liability may be viewed as limiting the rights of stockholders, and the broad scope of the indemnification provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could result in increased expenses.  Our board of directors believes, however, that these provisions will provide a better balancing of the legal obligations of, and protections for, directors and will contribute positively to the quality and stability of our corporate governance.  Our board of directors has concluded that the benefit to stockholders of improved corporate governance outweighs any possible adverse effects on stockholders of reducing the exposure of directors to liability and broadened indemnification rights.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.


We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.


Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control.


Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this Form 10-K report, unless otherwise specified, all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.


Overview


We commenced our development stage on April 15, 2002.  The Company has spent approximately the last two years initiating and developing our WTE technology business plan.  Initial steps in that process were negotiation for the opportunity to construct WTE Plants in Mexico and Saudi Arabia. In July 2006, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Presidency of Metrology and Environment issued to us an environmental license which will enable us to establish WTE plants in the country.  The second step in developing our business plan was to find sources that could assist us to raise the capital required to build and begin operating WTE facilities.  IPWG has not had any revenues and cumulative losses of $23 million since inception.  Accordingly, a comparison of our financial information for accounting periods would likely not be meaningful or helpful in making an investment decision regarding our Company.


We expect to begin realizing operating revenues in the second quarter of 2008 from the receipt of tipping fees associated with the Egypt WTE facilities. We are expecting to begin storing waste on that facility during the construction phase.  We are expecting revenue from our first WTE energy plant to commence in 2010 after the completion of the construction of the first plant.



27



In October 2006, we purchased proprietary patented technologies, Add-Power, a low temperature turbine (LTT), and ScrubPower, a special emission-to-energy system from three Swedish entities, Anovo AB Angelholm, Add-Power AB Angelholm, and SUPE Ltd for a total consideration of $2.8 million. The prototype has been substantially upgraded through the incurrence of additional research and development costs. We spent around $125,847 during year 2007 and are looking to patent new technology that will make the product more competitive and efficient. It has been tested and results have been drawn from its operating capacity at a Steel Mill in Sweden under a contract arrangement.


The acquisition of these technologies will allow us to convert greater quantities of heat, produced from boilers and turbines, and potentially increase the output of salable electricity by 20 to 30% or more over technologies that are currently available. We also believe that the LTT technology will provide us with an extremely efficient “low-temp turbine” which is powered by a proprietary fluid to drive the turbine and produce electricity at approximately 200° F, whereas most conventional boilers and turbines can only produce electricity at temperatures between 600° - 800° F.


We believe that we will be able to sell these technologies to other companies in the energy space in order to help these companies increase their output of electricity. The Company also plans to use these technologies to increase the efficiency of its own planned WTE facilities.  We believe we will begin to receive orders for our Add-Power units by the beginning of 2008. Other applications are being explored to expand its use and expand our market opportunities for alternate energy sources.


Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a) Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s year-end is December 31.


b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


c) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.



28



d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


e) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the “liability method”.  Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Current income taxes are based on the income that is currently taxable.


f) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method.   


g) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets represent the estimated fair value at dates of acquisitions of acquired intangible assets used in our business. The patent asset represents the patented technology associated with our Add-Power unit that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006. We amortize our patent on a straight-line basis over its life of 7 years. See Note 4 for additional information about our intangible asset.


h) Revenue Recognition

Revenue will be realized from the sales of product and services.  Recognition will occur upon delivery of product or performance of services.  In determining recognition, the following criteria will be considered: persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.


i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents and accounts payable, approximate their values at December 31, 2007 and 2006.


j) Common Stock

Common stock of the Company is occasionally issued in return for services.  Values are assigned to these issuances equal to the market value of the common stock.   


k) Warrants Outstanding

Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company are valued at fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Shared-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”)

 



29



l) Stock Options

Stock options are valued at fair value on the date of issuance using a Black Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  Certain options are exercised for services and are valued at their exercise price.


m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not anticipate the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.


Plan of Operation


Because we did not have sufficient financing (debt and/or equity) during the last fiscal year, our Plan of Operation has not significantly changed from our plan indicated in our 10K Report for the year ended December 31, 2006.


Prior to the adoption of our present business plan, we investigated the option of engaging in the management of low level radioactive waste as a result of our acquisition of Terra Mar Environmental Systems, Inc. (TMES) assets.  We determined not to pursue that business because of the time and expense of compliance with government regulation in the field.


Our operating plan for the next 12 months and thereafter has three components: (1) to complete negotiations to begin a Land field operation and the construction of WTE project in Egypt, (2) complete the research and development of our Add-Power electrical generating unit to make it a commercially viable product, and to manufacture and sell twelve units, and 3) to continue our existing program of introducing WTE technology to governments and others charged with responsibility to manage solid waste and/or provide potable water and electricity to various population segments.  In furtherance of this general plan we have self-imposed the following goals:


PROJECTED DATE



 

 

 

Goal

  

Projected Date

  

  

  

1. Processing of site permits in Mexico and start waste collection

  

Present through July 2008

2. Complete R&D of Add-Power and manufacture first unit

  

Present through September 2008

3. Introduction of WTE technology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and

  

Present through October 2008

Generate revenue from Egypt landfill operation  

  

  

4. Negotiations for WTE sites in several foreign countries now identified

  

  

Form subsidiaries as may be required in other countries

  

Foreseeable future


Research and Development.

We do not expect to establish a discrete program of research or development as part of our business plan.  We expect to expend our research and development efforts towards “on the job” training.  We intend to cooperate with our development partners to develop efficient WTE



30



 technology customized to each customer’s needs.  We intend to share the learning from each project and application to improve all areas of existing WTE technology from air scrubbing to waste disposal.


Purchase of Plant and Equipment


The development and construction of each proposed WTE facility will be dependent on: (i) locating appropriate land and obtaining permits for a WTE facility, (ii) obtaining significant external financing (including related financial guaranty and risk insurance) for purchase of materials and equipment and construction of facilities and (iii) securing contracts for delivery of waste and sales of byproducts necessary to produce revenues sufficient to cover debt service and operation costs.  In the event we are not able to finance one or more proposed WTE facilities, we would be forced to abandon any such projects.


WTE Facility Finance


Our plan to build one or more WTE facilities will require significant capital which we do not currently have. We intend to finance the construction and operation of WTE facilities through a combination of loans and securitization of income from long-term contracts for tipping fees, power and potable water sales.  We believe that we will be successful in securing such financing although no assurance can be given.  We have entered into an agreement with Marsh USA, Inc., an international insurance broker with the ability to provide financial guaranty insurance and risk management, to locate insurance for our projects.


Changes in the Number of Employees


We expect a substantial increase in full and part time employees in the foreseeable future to bolster our technical and marketing departments.  We expect that plant construction projects will be completed by third parties who will be engaged pursuant to contractual agreements. All these is subject to successful contract negotiation, permits availability and the ability to obtain financing.


Trends


The increased price of oil and its derivatives as well as the environmental awareness created by global warming has become the number one concern in America and other nations in the world. We believe that the trend that is most likely to affect our business is the burgeoning need of local governments at all levels in most countries to manage sold waste, significant quantities of which are hazardous.  We believe this trend will generate demand for the technology we offer although no assurance can be given.


We also believe the trend of global warming will affect our business.  The trend to reduce the output of greenhouse gases has caused companies and government to find ways of generating cleaner electricity from cleaner renewable energy sources.  We believe the trend will generate a demand for our technology and services we offer although no assurance can be given. Shall we



31



 obtain financing for both, the WTE facilities and the Add-Power technology, we will be in a position to post revenues and therefore, profits in the years to come.


Results of Operations


We had net (cash and non-cash) losses from operations from $12,831,316 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $6,873,292 for the year ended December 31, 2007, or a total reduction in net losses of $5,958,024.  The net non-cash losses decreased from $8,288,250 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $3,063,731 for the year ended December 31, 2007, or a total reduction in

net non-cash losses of $5,244,519.  This reduction in net non-cash losses is primarily attributable to a reduction in the issuance of common stock for services performed and permitting option exercises without charging the strike price in exchange for services, and the value of options granted to officers, directors, consultants and finders.  The net cash losses decreased $733,505 from the year ended December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 This reduction in net cash losses is primarily attributable to a reduction in fees paid to professional service firms and consultants and employee related costs (i.e., salaries and travel).  


Financial Condition


Ability to Meet Cash Requirements.


We are considered to be in the development stage as defined in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) No. 7.  To date, we have received no income from our business operations.  We have incurred substantial losses since our inception.  As of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated loss of $23.0 million during the development stage.  The expenses that produced this operating loss included stock based compensation and consulting expenses in the sum of $16.0 million and other expenses, including cash expenses, of approximately $7 million.  


Without additional equity or debt financing, we will not be able to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months.



32



Two Year Cash Forecast.


We have developed a two-year timeline and cash forecast of our cash needs to execute our business plan and we are in the process of raising the funds required to fund our operations for the next 24 months until the time we estimate that our first WTE facility will come online and revenues are expected to commence.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to raise the amounts of financing required to operate our business until revenues commence, that we will be able to timely commence revenue generating operations of WTE facility(ies) or that if such facility(ies) commence operation, that we will generate sufficient revenue to be profitable.


We are in the process of attempting to raise capital to address approximately $26.4 million of financing needs for the next twenty-four months, outside of construction/project financing for specific waste to energy projects. Uses of the capital we are attempting to raise include:


1) Working capital to cover overhead and project management costs during construction of waste to energy plants (approximately $16.0 million), additional details provided in the chart below.


2) Working capital to cover the recently completed acquisition of Ad-Power AB and the commercialization of Add-Power units (a patented low temperature turbine used for converting waste heat into electricity) of approximately $1.6 million.


3) Additional development funding to apply Add-Power technology to low cost solar power generation, as well as to test the feasibility of integrating the Add-Power technology into small scale solar units for office parks, malls, and residential projects ($8.8 million).

In addition to the above, we plan to develop and execute contracts for our WTE facilities in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Mexico and elsewhere (these contracts may include long term, ie.7-10 year, commitments for waste disposal, electric and water sales). We expect to use these contracts, and the expected revenue sources they represent, to secure project specific financing.  We expect to have multiple financing sources for project/construction financing on a project by project basis outside of this specific equity raise.

Payments Due under Contractual Obligations


We have future commitments at December 31, 2007 on an acquisition balance as part of the purchase of the add-Power technology. We are obligated to pay during 2008 the remaining balance of $962,057 for this purchase. We will not be able to meet this obligation without proceeds of external financing, of which we provide no assurance.


We do not have or know of any other contractual obligation other than those reported on note 12.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements


We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Board of Directors


International Power Group, Ltd.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International Power Group, Ltd. and its subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for the period April 15, 2002 (date of inception of development stage) to December 31, 2007.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted the audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on the audits, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of International Power Group, Ltd. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for the period April 15, 2002 (date of inception of development stage) to December 31, 2007 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $ 2,679,063 as well as an accumulated deficit of $ 23,009,955.  In addition, the Company has had a continuing record of losses.  These factors among other things, also discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

INTERNATIONAL POWER GROUP, LTD.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007


Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS  -  


Organization

International Power Group, Ltd., (the Company) was incorporated November 30, 1998 in the state of Delaware as Ednet, Inc.  Its name was changed to International Power Group, Ltd. on September 23, 2004.


The Company acquired 66% of the stock of International Power, Inc. (Power) in return for 150,000,000 shares of its common stock, which represented 82% of the number of shares of the Company outstanding after this transaction.  Subsequently, Messrs. Toscano and Wagenti transferred a total of 26,997,040 shares of Company stock held by them to the remaining holders of Power stock.  Each of Mr. Toscano and Mr. Wagenti contributed the stock of Power so acquired to the Company for no consideration.  In two stages, therefore, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Power for 150,000,000 shares of IPWG common stock.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger with the Company being treated as the acquired company and Power being treated as the acquirer.  Historic financial and other information of Power will be presented in all public filings.  Under the accounting for a reverse merger, the assets and liabilities of the Company were recorded on the books of the continuing company at their market values which approximate net realizable value and the stockholders equity accounts of Power were reorganized to reflect the shares issued in this transaction.  The financial statements include the effect of the acquisition on the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations.  The statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are based on the historical statements of income of the Company and Power for those periods and assume the acquisition took place on January 1, 2003.


Power is a Delaware corporation organized April 15, 2002.  During 2004, it acquired the assets of Terra Mar Environmental Systems, Inc. (TMES) in return for 2,281,040 shares of its capital stock.  The assets of TMES consisted principally of two contracts and proposals for the construction of waste disposal plants in countries of the former Soviet Union; neither of the contracts had been implemented; they expired December 31, 2005 and were not implemented.  The shares of Power that were issued for the assets of TMES were redeemed from a portion of the shares that were acquired from the Company in the acquisition of Power.  Power was later dissolved.


The Company and TMES had each previously operated in central Asia with contracts for the disposal of waste material; these companies, and Power, had been inactive in recent years.


In June 2006, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary IPWG-Sweden AB.  In October 2006, IPWG-Sweden AB purchased proprietary patented technologies, which include WTE, Add-Power, a low temperature turbine (LTT), and ScrubPower, a special emission-to-energy



42



system from three Swedish entities, Anovo AB Angelholm, Add-Power AB Angelholm, and SUPE Ltd for a total consideration of $2.8 million.


There were no other acquisitions or disposals during year 2007, nor any major changes to the current business model.


Nature of Operations

The business of the Company will be the coordination of construction and management of waste disposal plants.  These plants will reduce solid waste to a fraction of its original mass, thus reducing landfill requirements.


They will also treat the waste so that it can be used as construction material and for other uses.  Burning of the waste will produce energy.  The Company is currently negotiating with strategic partners in Mexico and elsewhere for the construction of facilities for the treatment of waste material and the production of electricity. Implementation of these projects depends on the availability of capital and therefore, have not materialized yet during year 2007.


Note 2. DEVELOPMENT STAGE


The Company is a development stage company, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.7. Generally accepted accounting principles that apply to established operating enterprises govern the recognition of revenue by a development stage enterprise and the accounting for costs and expenses.  The Company has been in the development stage since April 15, 2002, the date of its inception of development stage.



43



Note 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Cash

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the “liability method”.  Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Current income taxes are based on the income that is currently taxable.


Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method.   


Intangible Assets

Intangible assets represent the estimated fair value at dates of acquisitions of acquired intangible assets used in our business. The patent asset represents the patented technology associated with our Add-Power unit that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006. We amortize our patent on a straight-line basis over its life of 7 years. See Note 4 for additional information about our intangible asset.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimated.

 

Recognition of Revenue

Revenue will be realized from the sales of product and services.  Recognition will occur upon delivery of product or performance of services.  In determining recognition, the following criteria will be considered: persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents and accounts payable, approximate their values at December 31, 2007 and 2006. This includes among others, warrants and options options for services, stock compensation and any other transaction falling within the scope of FASB 128 and EITF 96-3



44



Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding, as well as the amount of net loss per share, is presented for basic and diluted calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying financial statements.


Common Stock

Common stock of the Company is occasionally issued in return for services.  Values are assigned to these issuances equal to the market value of the common stock at measurement date. Measurement date is required under EITF 96-18 which clearly states the criteria to be used for the valuation of stock issued for goods and services.


Warrants Outstanding

Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company are valued at fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Shared-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”).


Stock Options

Stock options are valued at fair value on the date of issuance using a Black Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  Certain options are exercised for services and are valued at their exercise price.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not anticipate the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.


Note 4. ASSET ACQUISITION AND RELATED PAYABLE


On October 3, 2006 the Company completed the asset acquisition of three Swedish companies (Add-Power) for $2.8 million, comprised of $2.0 million in cash and stock valued at $800,000.  The Company paid approximately $436,000 in 2006 upon execution of the contract and $602,272 during 2007. There is an unpaid balance of $962,057, all of which was due in 2007.  The Company did make the required payments when due and is technically in default. Management is actively negotiating with the seller to resolve this matter.


The company board approved two term sheets in March 2008 for an $800,000 bridge loan and for a $ 15 million line of credit (an equity draw-down facility). These facilities will be used to pay off the acquisition balance and provide the capital necessary to bring the Add-Power unit to production in 2008.


Add Power is a patented turbine technology for the generation of electricity using low heat.  The purchase included all the assets of Add-Power including the intellectual property and patents.  Since the acquired entities did not have any customers or employees, it did not meet the definition of a business as defined by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in EITF 98-3, Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business .  Therefore, the entire $2.8 million purchase price was allocated to the patents.

Note 8.  STOCK OPTIONS


On January 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). SFAS 123R requires that the cost relating to share-based payment transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services from either employees or non-employees be recognized in the financial statements as the goods are received or services are rendered. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.


During 2005, the Company adopted and the stockholders approved a stock option plan (the Plan).  The Plan permits the Board of Directors to grant options to purchase up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock to officers, employees, and key individuals deemed important to the success of the Company.  All options are vested upon issuance and are immediately exercisable.  The Plan has a term that runs through June 15, 2010.  Under the terms of the plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the market value as determined at date of grant.  The following table summarizes changes in outstanding stock options during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was 2.4 years.  The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was $882,000.  The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options as of December 31, 2007.  This represents the amount that would have been received by the stock option holders if they had all exercised their stock options on December 31, 2007.  In future periods, this amount will change depending on fluctuations in the Company’s stock price.  The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.


The fair value of option grants are estimated using a Black-Sholes option pricing model.  The following weighted-average assumptions were used for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

The company’s management reduced expenses during 2007 by nearly $6 million dollars compared to 2006. The major areas of reduction were the stock options granted ($1.4 million), consulting expense ($3.9 million) and Professional fees ($839,997), between year 2006 and 2007. This was a direct result of the lack of financing and its consequence in the company’s plan execution. The company has not posted revenues since the beginning of its operations.

The following non-cash investing and financing activity took place during 2006:

Note 15. GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company had a material working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2007 an accumulated deficit of $ 23.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and has experienced continuing losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  In order to address these concerns, the Company’s board approved two term sheets in March 2008  for a  $800,000  bridge loan and for a $ 15 million line of credit

(an equity draw-down facility). Among other things, these finds will be used to pursue and complete projects that are currently in progress. This includes the set up of the Add Power manufacturing facilities now that extensive testing has been satisfactorily completed and the completion of the initial phase of planned waste- to- energy (“WTE”) facilities in several countries. The initial phase involves the construction of land fill facilities to start the collection of waste which will provide a source of revenue to make projects economically viable.


The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.  The Company’s present plans, the realization of which cannot be assured, to overcome these difficulties include but are not limited to the continuing effort to raise capital in the public and private markets.


Note 16. CONTINGENCY


A Company stockholder has asserted that she suffered losses of $240,000 because of alleged misrepresentation as and omissions made by the Company at the time she purchased her stock.  The Company, through its attorneys, has rejected her claim.

Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that


 •

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence.


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions



Except as set forth below, no transactions have occurred since the beginning of the Company's last two fiscal years or are proposed with respect to which a director, executive officer, security holder owning of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Company's securities or any member of the immediate families of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest and the amount involved exceeds $120,000.


·

During calendar year 2006, we borrowed $250,000 at 6% interest from U.S Precious Metals, Inc. (“USPM”). We repaid the loan with interest the next quarter. USPM and our Company had at the time of the loan and its repayment, and still have, certain common control persons, namely, Peter Toscano, Jack Wagenti and Jose Garcia.

·

During the fourth quarter of 2006, Peter Toscano loaned the Company $50,000, without interest.  This loan was repaid in December 2006.

·

In the fourth quarter of 2006, Lennart Strand, an employee of the Company, loaned the Company $21,205 for the office start-up costs in Sweden.  This loan was repaid during the first quarter of 2007 with no interest.

·

During the year 2007, we borrowed $40,000 at 6% interest from USPM.  This lender and our Company had at the time of the loan and its repayment, and still have, certain common control persons, namely, Peter Toscano, Jack Wagenti and Jose Garcia.

These notes have a term of one year expiring in 2008.


Director Independence


The Company’s common stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Accordingly, we are not required to maintain a minimum number of independent directors. The term “independent director” means that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company that will interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as a director.


Although we are under no requirement to have a minimum number of independent directors, we believe that five out of nine current directors would qualify as independent directors under the definition of the term. They include: Sal Arnone, Jerry Pane, Sheldon Baer, Sheik Hani A. Z. Yamani and Dr. Georgi Grechko.
