ONGOING 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 has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2007 and has experienced continuing losses., These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 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 Companys 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 8. CONTINGENCIES
Naanovo Energy USA, Inc. (Naanovo), has made a claim that the assets, techniques, and technologies of the three Swedish companies acquired by the Company in October 2006 are proprietary technologies owned by Naanovo. This claim is based on a Naanovo claim of a former working relationship that the chief executive of the three acquired companies allegedly once had with Naanovo. The Company, through its attorneys, has responded that Naanovo does not have any ownership interest in the three companies or in their assets and technologies, and that there was no ongoing relationship between Naanovo and the chief executive of the three acquired companies. Although Naanovo has indicated that it will pursue legal action to protect its
Page 9 of 19
rights, as of April 30, 2007 no legal action had been commenced. Management believes that this claim is without merit and that it will not adversely affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
A Company shareholder has asserted that she suffered substantial paper losses, and actual losses of $80,000, because of alleged misrepresentations and omissions made by the Company at the time she purchased her stock. The Company, through its attorneys, has rejected her claim. There has been no further communication from this shareholder and management does not believe there will be any further contact from the shareholder.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Rule 175 under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3b-6 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, intends, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission , that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We commenced our development stage on October, 2004 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 Arabias 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 $19.9 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 fourth quarter of 2007 from the receipt of tipping fees associated with one or more of our WTE facilities. The Management team believes it is on target with this forecast. We are expecting to store waste on our property during the construction of a facility. We are expecting revenue from our first WTE energy plant to commence in 2009 after the completion of the construction of the first plant.
In October 2006, we purchased proprietary patented technologies, AddPower, a low temperature turbine (LTT), and ScrubPower, a special emission-to-energy system from three Swedish entities, Anovo AB Angelholm, AddPower AB Angelholm, and SUPE Ltd for a total consideration of $2.8 million.
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 clean electricity. The Company also plans to use these technologies to increase the efficiency of its own planned WTE facilities. The Company has installed its first unit in Uddevalla, Sweden. Documentation is being gathered to verify the Companys claims on the efficiency of this technology.
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% 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
Page 11 of 19
own planned WTE facilities. We believe we will begin to receive orders for our AddPower units by the beginning of 2008.
Presently the Company has Letters of Intent to purchase AddPower units. We believe these LOIs will be turned into full contracts within the first quarter of 2008.
Plan of Operation
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 pending negotiations to initiate construction of WTE projects in Mexicali, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, (2) complete the research and development of our AddPower electrical generating unit to make it a commercially viable product, 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 | Present through October 2007 | |
2. Complete R&D of AddPower | Present through November 2007 | |
3. Introduction of WTE technology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt beginning of WTE site location negotiations | Present through October 2007 | |
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 technology customized to each customers 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
Page 12 of 19
pursuant to contractual agreements.
Trends.
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 a trend 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.
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 June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated loss of $19.9 million during the development stage. The expenses that produced this operating loss included stock based compensation expenses in the sum of $11.6 million and other expenses, including cash expenses, of approximately $8.3 million. At June 30, 2007, our cash balance was approximately $60,000. During the first six months of 2007 the company cash balance decreased by $1.6 million. We used approximately $2.3 million for our operating activities and made $0.7 million in payments for the acquisition of AddPower and equipment. These uses of cash were offset by $0.9 million in stock sales, $0.3 million in cash from the exercise of stock warrants, $0.2 million of loans.
Without additional equity or debt financing, we will not be able to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months.
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 execution 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 Add-PowerAB and the commercialization of AddPower units (a patented low temperature turbine used for converting waste heat into electricity) of approximately $1.6 million.
3)
Additional development funding to apply AddPower technology to low cost solar power generation, as well as to test the feasibility of integrating the AddPower technology into small scale solar units for office parks, malls, and residential projects ($8.8 million).
A detailed schedule of our capital needs for the two years ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:
2007 | 2008 | Total | |||||
Employee Costs | $2,463,000 | $3,687,000 | $6,150,000 | ||||

Total Forecasted Cash Usage Excluding | |||||||
Project Specific Financing | $10,741,000 | $15,617,000 | $26,358,000 |
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 June 30, 2007 consisting of office lease obligations as follows:
Year Ending December 31, | Office Lease Obligations | |

2011 | 7,639 | |
Total | $335,309 |
In addition, we are obligated to pay during 2007 the remaining $962,057 for the purchase of AddPower. We will not be able to meet this obligation without proceeds of external financing, of which we provide no assurance.
Results of Operations.
Quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006
Our net losses increased by $391,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This increase in net losses is primarily attributable to employee related costs (i.e., salaries and travel), which was approximately $180,000. We hired 9 new employees in 2006. We also recorded $100,000 of amortization expense that was associated with our intangible asset patents that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006. Lastly, our consulting and public relations costs increased by approximately $98,000 related to the business development efforts in Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006
Our net losses increased by $454,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in net losses is primarily attributable to employee related costs (i.e., salaries and travel), which was approximately $507,000. We hired 9 new employees in 2006. We also recorded $200,000 of amortization expense that was associated with our intangible asset patents that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006. These increases in costs were offset by a reduction in the stock based compensation of $175,000 period over period.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk.
The Companys exposure to market risk is principally confined to cash in the bank and notes payable, which have short maturities and, therefore, minimal and immaterial market risk.
Interest Rate Risk.
The Company has cash in checking accounts. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these assets. Furthermore, the Companys borrowings are at fixed interest rates, limiting the Companys exposure to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.
The Company does not have any material foreign currency exposure at the present time. As our business plan develops and we begin building as we expect WTE facilities in various foreign countries, the risk of foreign currency exchange will increase.
