EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (this “Form 10-K”) being filed by Ridgewood Electric Power Trust II (the “Trust”) contains complete audited financial statements of the Trust for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and interim financial information presented for each quarter during those periods. The financial information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003, March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005 is presented on a restated basis. This Form 10-K is being filed by the Trust in lieu of the Trust separately filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (i) its delinquent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005,  and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, and (ii) restatements of its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2003 (the foregoing quarterly and annual reports of the Trust herein collectively are referred to as the “Reports for the Historical Periods” and each such report is referred to herein as a “Report for a Historical Period”). This Form 10-K does not contain financial information, or discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for periods ended prior to January 1, 2003.
 
This Form 10-K includes the financial and other disclosures required to be made by the Trust in each of the Reports for the Historical Periods. To the extent that a Report for a Historical Period was previously filed with the SEC, the information contained in this Form 10-K amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the information contained in such report for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2003. Except as noted above, this Form 10-K also includes the financial and other information that would have otherwise been required to have been provided in the Trust’s delinquent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, had such reports been filed with the SEC.
 
As previously disclosed in its Form 8-K filed October 10, 2007, (i) the consolidated financial statements of the Trust included in the Trust’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Trust’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of the periods beginning with the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and continuing through the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 filed with the SEC (the “Previously Issued Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon and (ii) the Previously Issued Financial Statements should be restated to conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The determination to restate these financial statements and selected financial data was made by the Trust and Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC, the Managing Shareholder of the Trust (the “Managing Shareholder”), as a result of the identification of accounting errors as more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Trust has discussed these matters with its independent registered public accounting firm. As these errors were material to the Trust’s consolidated financial statements and selected financial information filed with the SEC, the Trust has concluded that it must restate the consolidated financial statements of such prior periods to correct misstatements therein.

PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Overview

The Trust is a Delaware trust formed on November 20, 1992 to primarily make investments in projects and businesses in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC (“RRP” or the “Managing Shareholder”), a New Jersey limited liability company, is the Managing Shareholder. As the Managing Shareholder, RRP has direct and exclusive control over the management and operations of the Trust.
 
The Trust has focused primarily on small-scale electricity generation projects. These projects allow the Trust to develop secure long-term positions in attractive specialty markets for products and services provided by its projects and companies. As of December 31, 2005, the Trust had two operating investments, both located in California and 100% owned by the Trust.  One investment is a 5.5 megawatt (“MW”) cogeneration project which suspended operations in early 2006 due to a contract dispute with its customer. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” for further discussion. The other investment is a collection of irrigation service engines with a production capacity of 2MW, which was sold in January 2006 for $1. Additionally, at December 31, 2005, the Trust had a long-term note receivable, which was paid in full on October 31, 2007.
 
Based on the status of these assets, the operating results of the Trust for future periods is expected to be materially reduced from current levels.
 
The Trust initiated its private placement offering in November 1992 selling whole and fractional investor shares of beneficial interests of $100,000 per share (“Investor Shares”). There is no public market for Investor Shares and one is not likely to develop. In addition, Investor Shares are subject to significant restrictions on transfer and resale and cannot be transferred or resold except in accordance with the Trust’s Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) and applicable federal and state securities laws. The offering was concluded in January 1994 and after payment of offering fees, commissions and investment fees, the Trust had $19.4 million available for investments and operating expenses. As of September 30, 2007, the Trust had 235.3775 Investor Shares outstanding, held by 534 shareholders.

Managing Shareholder
 
RRP, via a predecessor corporation, was founded in 1991 by Robert E. Swanson. As the Managing Shareholder, RRP has direct and exclusive control over the management of the Trust’s operations. With respect to project investment, RRP locates potential projects, conducts appropriate due diligence and negotiates and completes the transactions in which the investments are made by the Trust.

In addition, RRP performs (or arranges for the performance of) the operation and maintenance of the projects owned by the Trust and the management and administrative services required for Trust operations. Among other services, RRP administers the accounts and handles relations with the shareholders, including tax and other financial information. RRP also provides the Trust with office space, equipment and facilities and other services necessary for its operation.
 
As compensation for its management services, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to (i) an annual management fee, payable monthly, equal to 1.5% of the net asset value of the Trust and (ii) a 20% interest in the cash distributions made by the Trust in excess of certain threshold amounts expressed in terms of shareholder returns. The Managing Shareholder is also entitled to receive reimbursement from the Trust for operating expenses incurred by the Trust, or on behalf of the Trust and paid by RRP, as the Managing Shareholder. RRP has arranged for administrative functions required to be performed for the Trust to be performed by an affiliate, Ridgewood Power Management LLC (“RPM”), and at RPM’s costs, which costs are reimbursed to RPM by the Trust. RRP also serves as the managing shareholder (or managing member as appropriate) of a number of affiliated Trusts and investment vehicles similar to the Trust and, through RPM, provides services to those entities similar to those provided to the Trust.
 
Affiliates of RRP act on behalf of a number of investment vehicles in the oil and gas and venture capital sectors in a manner similar to that for which RRP serves on behalf of the Trust.
 
Business Strategy
 
The Trust’s primary investment objective is to generate cash flow for distribution to shareholders and capital appreciation from one or more of the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of interests in electricity generation and other infrastructure projects and companies. The Trust generally seeks to invest in projects and companies that provide products or services through a number of small facilities and that offer opportunities for expansion either through increasing production at existing sites or through the establishment of additional sites. These projects often involve development, construction and operating risk but, once established, may be able to effectively “lock-in” the customer (or customers) served by the project, which would prevent competitors from dislodging the Trust’s project. The Trust focuses on markets in which projects can be developed and built quickly and can be standardized as to their design, equipment and construction. By following this strategy, the Trust seeks to take advantage of attractive market opportunities while streamlining the development process and diversifying across a number of projects in order to contain the exposure of the Trust to the risks inherent in such projects. As of December 31, 2005, all of the Trust’s projects are 100% owned through investment vehicles managed by the Managing Shareholder.
 
Projects and Properties
 
Monterey
 
In January 1995, the Trust purchased 100% of the equity interests in Sunnyside Cogeneration Partners, L.P., which owns a 5.5-megawatt cogeneration project located in Salinas, Monterey County, California (“Monterey"). The aggregate purchase price was $5.2 million.  Monterey began operations in 1991 using natural gas fired reciprocating engines to generate electricity for sale to Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E") under a long term contract expiring in 2020 (the "Power Contract"). PG&E is also obligated to pay Monterey capacity payments based on its net electrical output or its available capacity. Thermal energy from Monterey’s operations provides warm water to an adjacent greenhouse under a long-term contract that also terminates in 2020. Monterey is operated on behalf of the Trust by RPM on an at-cost basis.

Monterey’s contract prices with PG&E were determined pursuant to a contract formula approved by the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") with the energy payment originally based upon a benchmark energy price adjusted for changes over time in a natural gas price index; referred to as the "Short Run Avoided Cost Methodology" or SRAC.  At December 31, 2005, however, Monterey was operating pursuant to a 2001 amendment to the Power Contract with PG&E, which provided, among other things, that Monterey would receive a fixed energy payment (as well as the required capacity payment) for a term of five years, until approximately August 2006.  Upon expiration of the amendment, through the remainder of the term of the contact, the formula contained in the original contract was to be used to determine the energy price paid by PG&E.

Monterey has a non-cancelable operating lease covering its site, which expires in May 2021 with minimum annual lease payments, including the delivery of cogeneration steam.

In August 2001, Monterey entered into an agreement with Coral Energy Services, Inc. (“Coral”), a subsidiary of Shell Oil, to procure its natural gas fuel at a fixed price through August 2006.  Coral and Monterey also had a master re-sale agreement, which also expired in August 2006.  Such agreement enabled Monterey to not take delivery of, and sell back to Coral, certain amounts of natural gas once predetermined prices have been established. During 2004, 2005 and 2006, Monterey re-sold gas back to Coral.

2


Monterey received notice on December 1, 2005 from PG&E directing Monterey to increase its operations from 13 hours, 5 days a week to 24 hours, 7 days a week. However, PG&E had been operating or "dispatching" Monterey on a 5 by 13 basis for over 15 years.  Monterey determined that it could not operate profitably on such a schedule and was concerned that if it Monterey only operated on a 5 by 13 basis, PG&E might refuse to pay for delivered electricity. Monterey requested from PG&E to limit its operations to the 5 by 13 basis, but this request was denied. As a result, effective January 9, 2006, Monterey ceased its operations. Monterey and PG&E have filed lawsuits against the other for breach of contract. For further discussion, see Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”. The Monterey project remains closed as of the date of this filing.  Additionally, as a result of the shut down, the project has not delivered by-product steam since it was shut down in January 2006. As a result, it may be subject to penalties from the lessor.

Pumping Project

In 1995, the Trust purchased a package of irrigation service engines (the “Pumping Project") located in Ventura County, California.  The purchase price was $952,000.  RPM operated and managed the Pumping Project. The Pumping Project had been operating since 1992 and had 10 natural-gas-fired reciprocating engines with a maximum rated equivalent capacity of 2MW to provide power for irrigation wells that furnish water for citrus orchards. The power was purchased by local farmers and farmers' co-operatives pursuant to electric services contracts. In January 2006, the engines were sold for $1 to its prior customers.

 
Other Investments

The Trust acquired an 80% interest in a water chilling facility in San Diego, California in March 1994 for a purchase price of $2.3 million.  The Trust made additional capital contributions, totaling $1.2 million, to the facility to fund working capital and to purchase various leased equipment.  In June 1997, the Trust sold its entire interest in the facility to subsidiaries of NRG Energy, Inc. The sale price was $6.2 million in cash and notes. The notes were paid in full in 2003.

In January 1994, the Trust made an equity investment of $2.3 million in Pittsfield Investors Limited Partnership (“PILP”), which was formed to acquire a waste-to-energy project designed and built to burn municipal solid waste supplied by the City of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, surrounding communities and other waste providers as well as to supply steam to a nearby paper mill.  The PILP project originally began operating in 1981 and was operated and co-owned with the Trust by subsidiaries of Energy Answers Corporation (“EAC”). The Trust made an additional investment with affiliates of EAC in August 1994 when it purchased an interest in the B-3 Limited Partnership (“B-3”) for $4 million.  The business of B-3 was the construction and operation of a municipal waste transfer station in Columbia County, New York.  In September 2002, the Trust sold its interests in PILP and B-3 to EAC for $1.2 million in cash and $5 million of promissory notes. The notes bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and were to be repaid over a 17-year term. The notes were collateralized solely by the assets of the projects and are without recourse to EAC. The note payments remained current until the notes were paid in full on October 31, 2007.

Significant Customers and Supplier

During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Trust’s largest customer, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, accounted for 88%, 87% and 80%, respectively of total revenues. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, Monterey purchased 100% of its natural gas from Coral.

Business Segments

Power generation is the only business segment within which the Trust manages and evaluates its operations.

Competition

Monterey is currently bound under a long-term sale contract. Based on this, the Trust does not generally face direct competition in the sale of the electricity it generates.

Government Incentives and Regulation
 
Projects of the Trust have been subject to energy and environmental laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels in connection with development, ownership, operation, geographical location, zoning and land use of a project and emissions and other substances produced by a project. These energy and environmental laws and regulations generally require that a wide variety of permits and other approvals be obtained before the commencement of construction or operation of an energy-producing facility and that the facility then operates in compliance with such permits and approvals. Monterey also operates under the terms of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) licenses issued to it. The Trust considers these regulations to be routine and does not consider the cost of compliance to be material.

3


Insurance
 
The Trust has in place, either directly or through investee companies, insurance typical for activities such as those conducted by the Trust. These policies include property and casualty, business interruption and workman’s compensation insurance, which the Trust believes to be appropriate.
 
Employees
 
The Trust does not have employees. The activities of the Trust are performed either by employees of the Managing Shareholder, its affiliates or those of the specific investments of the Trust.
 
Offices
 
The principal office of the Trust is located at 1314 King Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801 and its phone number is 302-888-7444. The Managing Shareholder’s principal office is located at 947 Linwood Avenue, Ridgewood, New Jersey, 07450 and its phone number is 201-447-9000.
 
Available Information
 
The Trust’s shares are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Trust must therefore comply with, among other things, the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. As a result, the Trust prepares and files annual reports with the SEC on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and, from time to time, current reports on Form 8-K. Moreover, the Managing Shareholder maintains a website at http://www.ridgewoodpower.com that contains important information about the Managing Shareholder, including biographies of key management personnel, as well as information about the investments made by the Trust and the other investment programs managed by the Managing Shareholder.
 
Where You Can Get More Information
 
The Trust files annual, quarterly and current reports and certain other information with the SEC. Persons may read and copy any documents the Trust files at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation at the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of any such filings will be provided free of charge to any shareholder upon written request to the Managing Shareholder at its business address - 947 Linwood Avenue, Ridgewood, New Jersey 07450, ATTN: General Counsel.
 
Reports to Shareholders
 
The Trust does not anticipate providing annual reports to shareholders but will make available upon request copies of the Trust’s periodic reports to the SEC on Form 10-K and on Form 10-Q.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information set forth elsewhere in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors when evaluating the Trust:
 
RISKS INHERENT IN THE BUSINESSES OF THE TRUST
 
The Trust has material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures have been identified by management of the Trust. These weaknesses primarily relate to the Trust’s inability to complete its reporting obligations on a timely basis as a result of deficient disclosure controls and procedures. See Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in this report. The inability of the Trust to timely report its results could impact the ability of an investor to adequately understand its investment, restrict the Trust’s ability to conduct its activities and subject the Trust to fines and penalties. Upon further review, the Trust may also determine that it has material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

4


The Trust’s remaining operating asset, Monterey, has not operated since January 2006.
 
If Monterey is unable to satisfactorily resolve its dispute with PG&E, its only customer, it is likely that the plant will remain closed. Other than the Trusts’ collection of its long-term notes receivable in October 2007, the Monterey project is the only remaining productive asset of the Trust. Continued closure of the Monterey project significantly reduces revenue and cash flows to the Trust. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” for a description of the dispute with PG&E.
 
The project of the Trust depends on the near-continuous operation of its equipment. Should the productivity of some or all of this equipment be compromised or should the equipment fail altogether, the Trust would be adversely affected. The Trust may also experience difficulty in hiring qualified operating personnel.
 
The primary equipment of the Trust is subject to mechanical failure that the Trust may not be able to predict and that can render specific projects inoperable for considerable periods of time. This risk also extends to failures of the electricity grid near the Trust’s projects that could prevent the affected project from delivering its electricity. In addition, the Trust may experience price increases for, or difficulty in obtaining, spare parts for its projects and in identifying and hiring personnel qualified to operate, maintain and repair the specialized equipment that make up parts of its projects.
 
The project of the Trust is subject to regulatory changes (including changes in environmental regulations) that could significantly reduce revenues or increase expenses of the Trust.
 
This area of risk is inherently difficult to predict but could include matters such as emission control changes. Such changes could increase costs at the Trust’s project or prevent the project from operating.
 
The Trust may become involved in litigation.
 
The Trust faces an inherent business risk of exposure to various types of claims and lawsuits that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Also, a subsidiary of the Trust, Monterey, is involved in litigation as discussed in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”. Although it is not possible to predict the timing, nature or outcome of such claims or lawsuits, we believe the chances that any claims or lawsuits arising and resulting, individually or in the aggregate, in a material impact on the Trust to be remote. However, the Trust could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have a material adverse effect on the results of the Trust. In addition, while the Trust maintains insurance coverage with respect to certain claims, the Trust may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against any such claims.
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE NATURE OF THE TRUST’S SHARES
 
The Trust’s shares have severe restrictions on transferability and liquidity and shareholders are required to hold the shares indefinitely.
 
The Trust’s shares are illiquid investments. There is currently no market for these shares and one is not likely to develop. Because there may be only a limited number of persons who purchase shares and because there are significant restrictions on the transferability of such shares under the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and under applicable federal and state securities laws, it is expected that no public market will develop. Moreover, neither the Trust nor the Managing Shareholder will provide any market for the shares. Shareholders are generally prohibited from selling or transferring their shares except in the circumstances permitted under the Declaration of Trust and applicable law, and all such sales or transfers require the Trust’s consent, which it may withhold at its sole discretion. Accordingly, shareholders have no assurance that an investment can be transferred and must be prepared to bear the economic risk of the investment indefinitely.
 
Shareholders are not permitted to participate in the Trust’s management or operations and must rely exclusively on the Managing Shareholder.
 
Shareholders have no right, power or authority to participate in the Trust’s management or decision making or in the management of the Trust’s projects. The Managing Shareholder has the exclusive right to manage, control and operate the Trust’s affairs and business and to make all decisions relating to its operation.
 
The Trust’s assets are generally illiquid and any disposition of Trust assets is at the discretion of the Managing Shareholder.
 
The Trust’s interest in projects is illiquid. However, if the Trust were to attempt to sell any such interest, a successful sale would depend upon, among other things, the operating history and prospects for the project or interest being sold, the number of potential purchasers and the economics of any bids made by them. The Managing Shareholder has full discretion to determine whether any project, or any partial interest, should be sold and the terms and conditions under which such project would be sold. Consequently, shareholders will depend on the Managing Shareholder for the decision to sell all or a portion of an asset, or retain it, for the benefit of the shareholders and for negotiating and completing the sale transaction.

5


The Trust indemnifies its officers, as well as the Managing Shareholder and its employees, for certain actions taken on its behalf. Therefore, the Trust has limited recourse relative to these actions.
 
The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust’s officers and agents, the Managing Shareholder, the affiliates of the Managing Shareholder and their respective directors, officers and agents when acting on behalf of the Managing Shareholder or its affiliates on the Trust’s behalf, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust from any and all claims rising out of the Trust’s management, except for claims arising out of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Declaration of Trust. Therefore, the Trust may have difficulty sustaining an action against the Managing Shareholder, or its affiliates and their officers based on breach of fiduciary responsibility or other obligations to the shareholders.
 
The Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive a management fee regardless of the Trust’s profitability and also receives cash distributions.
 
The Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive an annual management fee from the Trust regardless of whether the Trust is profitable in that year. The annual fee, payable monthly, is equal to 1.5% of the prior years' net asset value. In addition to its annual management fee, the Managing Shareholder, as compensation for its management services, will receive 20% of the Trust’s cash distributions to shareholders upon the shareholders having received a certain minimum level of distributions as set out in the Declaration of Trust, even though the Managing Shareholder has not contributed any cash to the Trust. Accordingly, shareholders contribute all of the cash utilized for the Trust’s investments and activities. If the Trust’s projects are unsuccessful, the shareholders may lose 100% of their investment while the Managing Shareholder will not suffer any investment losses because it did not contribute any capital. None of the compensation to be received by the Managing Shareholder has been derived as a result of arm’s length negotiations.
 
Cash distributions are not guaranteed and may be less than anticipated or estimated.
 
Distributions depend primarily on available cash from project operations. At times, distributions have been delayed to repay the principal and interest on project or Trust borrowings, if any, or to the Trust’s other costs. The Trust’s taxable income will be taxable to the shareholders in the year earned, even if cash is not distributed.
 
Because the Managing Shareholder manages other electricity generation and infrastructure trusts, it may have conflicts of interest in its management of the Trust’s operations.
 
Shareholders will not be involved in the management of the Trust’s operations. Accordingly, they must rely on the Managing Shareholder’s judgment in such matters. Inherent with the exercise of its judgment, the Managing Shareholder will be faced with conflicts of interest. While neither the Trust nor the Managing Shareholder have specific procedures in place in the event of any such conflicting responsibilities, the Managing Shareholder recognizes that it has fiduciary duties to the Trust in connection with its position and responsibilities as Managing Shareholder and it intends to abide by such fiduciary responsibilities in performing its duties. Therefore, the Managing Shareholder and its affiliates will attempt, in good faith, to resolve all conflicts of interest in a fair and equitable manner with respect to all parties affected by any such conflicts of interest. However, the Managing Shareholder is not liable to the Trust for how conflicts of interest are resolved unless it has acted in bad faith, or engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
TAX RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN SHARES
 
The Trust is organized as a Delaware trust and the Managing Shareholder has qualified the Trust as a partnership for federal tax purposes. The principal tax risks to shareholders are that:
 
 
·
The Trust may recognize income taxable to the shareholders but may not distribute enough cash to cover the income taxes owed by shareholders on the Trust’s taxable income.
 
 
·
The allocation of Trust items of income, gain, loss, and deduction may not be recognized for federal income tax purposes.

6


 
·
All or a portion of the Trust’s expenses could be considered either investment expenses (which would be deductible by a shareholder only to the extent the aggregate of such expenses exceeded 2% of such shareholder’s adjusted gross income) or as nondeductible items that must be capitalized.
 
 
·
All or a substantial portion of the Trust’s income could be deemed to constitute unrelated business taxable income, such that tax-exempt shareholders could be subject to tax on their respective portions of such income.
 
 
·
If any Trust income is deemed to be unrelated business taxable income, a shareholder that is a charitable remainder trust could have all of its income from any source deemed to be taxable.
 
 
·
All or a portion of the losses, if any, allocated to the shareholders will be passive losses and thus deductible by the shareholder only to the extent of passive income.
 
 
·
The shareholders could have capital losses in excess of the amount that is allowable as a deduction in a particular year.
 
Although the Trust has obtained an opinion of counsel regarding the matters described in the preceding paragraph, it will not obtain a ruling from the IRS as to any aspect of the Trust’s tax status. The tax consequences of investing in the Trust could be altered at any time by legislative, judicial, or administrative action.

If the IRS audits the Trust, it could require investors to amend or adjust their tax returns or result in an audit of their tax.
 
The IRS may audit the Trust’s tax returns. Any audit issues will be resolved at the Trust level by the Managing Shareholder. If adjustments are made by the IRS, corresponding adjustments will be required to be made to the federal income tax returns of the shareholders, which may require payment of additional taxes, interest, and penalties. An audit of the Trust’s tax return may result in the examination and audit of a shareholder’s return that otherwise might not have occurred, and such audit may result in adjustments to items in the shareholder’s return that are unrelated to the Trust’s operations. Each shareholder bears the expenses associated with an audit of that shareholder’s return.
 
In the event that an audit of the Trust by the IRS results in adjustments to the tax liability of a shareholder, such shareholder will be subject to interest on the underpayment and may be subject to substantial penalties.
 
The tax treatment of the Trust cannot be guaranteed for the life of the Trust. Changes in laws or regulations may adversely affect any such tax treatment.
 
Deductions, credits or other tax consequences may not be available to shareholders. Legislative or administrative changes or court decisions could be forthcoming which would significantly change the statements herein. In some instances, these changes could have substantial effect on the tax aspects of the Trust. Any future legislative changes may or may not be retroactive with respect to transactions prior to the effective date of such changes. Bills have been introduced in Congress in the past and may be introduced in the future which, if enacted, would adversely affect some of the tax consequences of the Trust.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
As discussed in Item 1. “Business” under the heading Projects and Properties - Monterey, for the first 15 years of operation, PG&E “dispatched” the Monterey facility to produce and deliver electricity up to its contract capacity on a 13 hour per day, five day per week basis (“13x5”).  However, on December 1, 2005, PG&E dispatched Monterey on a 24 hour per day, seven day per week basis (“24x7”) for an indefinite period, effective January 1, 2006.  Monterey advised PG&E that its 24x7 dispatch order was a breach of the parties’ power purchase agreement.  Management of Monterey was also concerned that if Monterey continued to produce and supply power consistent with the parties’ prior course of performance, PG&E would refuse to pay.  Accordingly, Monterey demanded that PG&E provide adequate assurances that it would continue to pay Monterey for its capacity and its electricity produced and delivered in accordance with the parties’ longstanding 13x5 operations.  PG&E did not provide such assurances.  In the absence of such assurances, Monterey suspended operations on or about January 9, 2006.  Monterey filed a Complaint against PG&E in the San Francisco Superior Court on May 16, 2006 (the “Monterey Complaint”).  The Monterey Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract, damages for PG&E’s breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and a claim for declaratory relief against PG&E, seeking a judicial determination that PG&E’s conduct materially breached the parties’ agreement and justified Monterey’s suspension of performance.  Monterey is seeking damages against PG&E estimated at approximately $5 million. A Jury Trial with regard to this matter is currently set for February 8, 2008.

7

 
On May 14, 2007, PG&E filed a Complaint in San Francisco Superior Court against Monterey (the “PG&E Complaint”).  The PG&E Complaint arises out of the same transactions and occurrences that gave rise to the Monterey Complaint against PG&E.  PG&E asserted claims for compensatory damages for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing as well as “restitution” of capacity payments made to Monterey on a theory of unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief for repayment of capacity payments made to Monterey.  PG&E is seeking restitution damages against Monterey estimated at approximately $4.8 million.

 The claims made by PG&E have been made solely against Monterey and do not involve any claims against the Trust. Both of the above litigation matters are currently in discovery.  Monterey intends to vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against PG&E’s claims and management believes it will ultimately prevail.

On August 16, 2006, the Trust and several affiliated entities, including the Managing Shareholder, filed a lawsuit against the former independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust and several affiliated entities, Perelson Weiner LLP (“Perelson Weiner”), in New Jersey Superior Court. The suit alleged professional malpractice and breach of contract in connection with audit and accounting services performed for the Trust and the other plaintiffs by Perelson Weiner. On October 20, 2006, Perelson Weiner filed a counterclaim against the Trust and the other plaintiffs, alleging breach of contract due to unpaid invoices in the total amount of approximately $1,188,000. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been set.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes which appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Trust’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restatement of Financial Statements
 
As previously disclosed in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 10, 2007, the consolidated financial statements of the Trust included in the Trust’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Trust’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of the periods beginning with the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and continuing through the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 previously filed by the Trust with the SEC should no longer be relied upon and that those financial statements should be restated to conform to generally accepted accounting principles as more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The determination to restate these financial statements and selected financial data was made by the Trust and the Managing Shareholder of the Trust, as a result of the identification of accounting errors. Accordingly, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains restated financial statements for the periods mentioned above.
 
Overview

The Trust is a Delaware trust formed on November 20, 1992 to primarily make investments in projects and businesses in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC (“RRP” or the “Managing Shareholder”), a New Jersey limited liability company, is the Managing Shareholder. As the Managing Shareholder, RRP has direct and exclusive control over the management and operations of the Trust.
 
The Trust has focused primarily on small-scale electricity generation projects. These projects allow the Trust to develop secure long-term positions in attractive specialty markets for products and services provided by its projects and companies. As of December 31, 2005, the Trust had two operating investments, both located in California and 100% owned by the Trust.  One investment, Monterey, is a 5.5MW cogeneration project which suspended operations in early 2006 due to a contract dispute with its customer. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” for further discussion. The other investment is a collection of irrigation service engines with a production capacity of 2MW, which was sold in January 2006 for $1. Additionally, the Trust has a long-term note receivable, which was paid in full on October 31, 2007.
 
Based on the status of these assets, the financial statement results for future periods is expected to be materially different than historical periods. Since the closing of the Monterey facility in January 2006, the Trust has not had any operating revenues, though it continued to have contractual obligations through August 2006 related to the gas purchase agreement with Coral. Upon the repayment of the Trust’s long term receivable in October 2007, the Trust no longer had any cash producing assets and may not in the future, subject to the resolution of litigation relating to the Monterey facility. During the first quarter of 2006, the Trust intends to record an asset impairment of Monterey’s remaining net book value. Monterey remains closed as of the date of this filing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Trust’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing these financial statements, the Trust is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the Trust’s assets and liabilities, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the Trust’s revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Trust evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The Trust bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that the Trust believes to be reasonable at the time the estimates and assumptions are made. However, future events and their effects cannot be predicted with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different circumstances or conditions, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The Trust believes the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of the Trust’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Power generation revenue is recorded in the month of delivery, based on the estimated volumes sold to customers at rates stipulated in the electric power sales contract. Adjustments are made to reflect actual volumes delivered when the actual volumetric information subsequently becomes available. Final billings do not vary significantly from estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoice price in the period the related revenues are earned, and do not bear interest. No allowance for bad debt expense was provided based upon historical write-off experience, evaluation of customer credit condition and the general economic status of the customers.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment, consisting principally of electrical generating equipment, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and any proceeds from such retirement or disposal is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations.

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 20 years.

Impairment of Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets

The Trust evaluates intangible assets and long-lived assets, such as plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is made by comparing the carrying value of an asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. If impairment has occurred, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, which is based on the estimated future cash flows discounted at the estimated cost of capital. The analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.

Gas Contract

In August 2001, Monterey entered into an agreement to purchase natural gas, at fixed prices, over a five-year term in connection with entering into an amendment fixing the sales price of electric power sales contracts for a similar term. This contract was entered into in order to minimize the impact of fluctuating energy prices. The Trust has determined that this contract is a derivative as defined under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended. The Trust has designated the derivative as a non-hedge instrument. Accordingly, the value of the contract based on the differences between contract prices and market value prices is recognized as an asset or a liability in the balance sheet. Changes in the carrying value of the contract is reflected as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
11


Notes Receivable

Recovery of interest and principal under the promissory notes issued in connection with the sale of the Trust’s interest in PILP and B-3 were dependent upon the operations of the partnership investment transferred. Consequently, the Trust deferred its gain on the sale of its ownership interest until the carrying value of the investments was fully recovered. The cash proceeds received for the interest and principal were recorded as a reduction of the Trust’s investment in the partnership transferred under contractual agreement through June 30, 2005.  Subsequent payments were recorded as a component of other income.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Condition

Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004

Revenues of $2.8 million in 2005 was comparable to the same period in 2004.

Cost of revenues increased approximately $0.5 million, or 18.2%, from $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the Monterey gas supply contract as by the decrease in natural gas prices decreased during 2005.

Gross profit decreased by $0.4 million, or 71.4%, from $0.6 million in 2004 to $0.2 million in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to lower natural gas prices.

In 2005, the Trust recorded gains of $0.3 million from collection on notes from the sale of its investment in B-3 and PILP.

Net income for 2005 totaled $0.3 million, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from $0.4 million in 2004. This decrease was due to the decrease in gross profit, offset by the gains recorded during 2005 from collection of notes receivable.

Total assets at December 31, 2005 decreased by $0.6 million, from $5.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $4.4 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to decreases of $0.4 million in payments received in the investment in partnership transferred under contractual agreement and $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total liabilities increased $0.3 million from $0.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $0.5 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to affiliated short-term borrowings of $0.3 million.

Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003

Revenues decreased by $0.2 million, or 6.1%, to $2.8 million in 2004 as compared to $3 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in revenues from the Pumping Project in 2003, due to decreased usage. See below for a discussion of the impairment recorded in 2004 relating to the Pumping Project.

Gross profit decreased by $0.2 million to $0.6 million in 2004 as compared to $0.8 million in 2003.  Gross profit decreased primarily due to a decline in revenues from the Pumping Project of $0.2 million.

In 2003, the Trust recorded an impairment of $0.2 million related to the Pumping Project. The Trust records impairment of plant and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

Total assets decreased $1.1 million from $6.1 million at December 31, 2003 to $5 million at December 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $0.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.4 million in investments in partnership transferred under contractual agreement, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in the gas forward contract.  Total liabilities were $0.2 million at both December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
 
Nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004

Revenues decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 2.2%, from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $2.1 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Pumping Project revenues for the 2005 period as compared to the 2004 period.

Gross profit increased approximately $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to lower cost of revenues due to the impact of price changes for natural gas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 143 and FIN 47

 In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, on the accounting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 requires a liability to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements for retirement obligations meeting specific criteria. Measurement of the initial obligation is to approximate fair value, with an equivalent amount recorded as an increase in the value of the capitalized asset. The asset will be depreciated in accordance with normal depreciation policy and the liability will be increased for the time value of money, with a charge to the income statement, until the obligation is settled. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Furthermore, in March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, which clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143. Specifically, FIN 47 provides that an asset retirement obligation is conditional when the timing and/or method of settling the obligation is conditioned on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 145

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for reporting gain or loss on debt extinguishment, and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for interim periods beginning after May 15, 2002. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 145 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 146

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2002. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

FIN 45

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, under certain circumstances a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002; while the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual reports ending after December 15, 2002. The Trust adopted FIN 45 during the fourth quarter of 2002 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

FIN 46R

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") which changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and apply in the first fiscal period ending after March 15, 2004, for variable interest entities created prior to January 1, 2004. The Trust adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN 46 effective December 31, 2003, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”) to clarify some of the provisions and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. The Trust implemented the full provisions of FIN 46R effective January 1, 2004, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 149

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.

SFAS 153

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“Opinion 29”), is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 153 effective June 15, 2005, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 154

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as changes pursuant to accounting pronouncements that do not include transition rules. Under SFAS No. 154, changes in accounting principle must be applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, or the earliest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 154 effective December 15, 2005, and accordingly restated the consolidated financial statements as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Perelson Weiner identified the following material deficiencies in disclosure controls and procedures, which are reportable events: (i) a lack of automation and integration in the Trust’s accounting and financial reporting software, which caused the Trust to be unable to timely comply with its financial reporting responsibilities, (ii) a lack of sufficient personnel with relevant experience to maintain and operate the Trust’s accounting and financial reporting software and to develop and administer additional disclosure controls and procedures to enable the Trust to comply on a timely basis with its financial reporting obligations, and (iii) disclosure controls and procedures that were insufficient to enable the Trust to meet its financial reporting and disclosure obligations in an accurate and timely manner.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period through January 14, 2004, there were no (1) disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report on the Trust’s financial statements, or (2) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

As reported on a Form 8-K filed on July 13, 2006, the Managing Shareholder of the Trust appointed Grant Thornton LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm effective July 12, 2006.
 
ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluates the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures. A system of disclosure controls and procedures is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a registrant in reports filed with the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms. This includes disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a registrant is accumulated and communicated to senior management so as to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A review of these controls and procedures was done by the Trust as of December 31, 2003 and for each quarter through March 31, 2005 and such reviews revealed no material weaknesses in the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures. Additional reviews were conducted as of the end of each of the periods ended June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005. These additional reviews indicated material weaknesses, of which the following continue to exist as material weaknesses:
 
 
(i)
a lack of sufficient personnel with relevant experience to develop, administer and monitor disclosure controls and procedures to enable the Trust to comply efficiently, or on a timely basis, with its financial reporting obligations,
 
 
(ii)
inadequate disclosure controls and procedures, including inadequate record retention and review policies, over both foreign and US operations, that would enable the Trust to meet its financial reporting and disclosure obligations in an efficient and timely manner.
 
As a result of these weaknesses, the Trust has not timely met its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Additionally, upon further examination of the Trust’s previously issued financial statements, various accounting errors were identified. As reported under Item 4.02 of the Form 8-K filed by the Trust on October 10, 2007, management of the Trust concluded that the Trust’s previously issued financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2003 through the period ended March 31, 2005 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated to correct for identified errors detected by management.
 
The primary cause of the above weaknesses was a lack of sufficiently qualified personnel. The Trust has implemented the following to address the above weaknesses:
 
 
·
Increased the number of degreed accountants. Additional staff expansion is underway.
 
 
·
Engaged a national accounting firm to evaluate procedures and controls over financial reporting. The firm made a report to the Managing Shareholder in May 2006, which has implemented some of the firm’s recommendations, and is in the process of evaluating the remaining recommendations.
 
 
·
In August 2006, engaged a national accounting firm to supply accounting personnel to assist while personnel hiring is underway. The work performed by the firm is under the direct supervision of the Trust’s Chief Financial Officer and Controller.
 
 
·
In May 2007, the Trust appointed a new Chief Financial Officer who is a Certified Public Accountant with approximately 29 years of professional accounting experience, including prior experiences as a financial officer of publicly traded companies.
 
The Trust believes that the completion of the expansion of the accounting and financial reporting staff and implementation of recommended procedures will mitigate the above weaknesses. However, due to the Trust’s delinquencies in meeting its filing deadlines under the Exchange Act, the Trust expects these deficiencies to continue to be material weaknesses at least until such time as the Trust is no longer delinquent in its Exchange Act filings.
 
The Trust also concluded as part of the reviews subsequent to March 31, 2005, that it had material weaknesses regarding system automation and identification of material transactions. The Trust also believes that as of December 31, 2005, it has implemented changes in internal control to address those weaknesses. As a result of the implemented controls, the Trust no longer considers those items to be material weaknesses.
 
The Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the periods covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act and concluded that, as of the end of each of the periods covered by this report, because of the material weaknesses noted above, the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
 
The Trust’s Managing Shareholder, Ridgewood Renewable Power, LLC, was originally founded in 1991. The Managing Shareholder has very broad authority, including the authority to elect executive officers of the Trust.
 
Each of the executive officers of the Trust also serves as an executive officer of the Managing Shareholder. The executive officers of the Trust are as follows:

(1) Mr. Strasberg replaced Mr. Wilson as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on May 2, 2007.
 
Set forth below is the name of and certain biographical information regarding the executive officers of the Trust:
 
Randall D. Holmes has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust since January 2006 and served as Chief Operating Officer of the Trust from January 2004 until January 2006. Mr. Holmes has also served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Managing Shareholder, and affiliated Power Trusts and LLCs since January 2004. Prior to such time, Mr. Holmes served as the primary outside counsel to and has represented the Managing Shareholder and its affiliates since 1991. Immediately prior to being appointed Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Holmes was counsel to Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC (“DRM”). DRM is one of the primary outside counsel to the Trust, the Managing Shareholder and its affiliates. He has maintained a minor consulting relationship with DRM in which he may act as a paid advisor to DRM on certain matters that are unrelated to Ridgewood. Such relationship will not require a significant amount of Mr. Holmes’ time and it is expected that such relationship will not adversely affect his duties as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Holmes is a graduate of Texas Tech University and the University of Michigan Law School. He is a member of the New York State bar.
 
Robert E. Swanson has served as Chairman of the Trust, the Managing Shareholder and affiliated Power Trusts and LLCs since their inception. From their inception until January 2006, Mr. Swanson also served as their Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Swanson is the controlling member of the Managing Shareholder, as well as Ridgewood Energy and Ridgewood Capital, affiliates of the Trust. Mr. Swanson has been President and registered principal of Ridgewood Securities since its formation in 1982, has served as the Chairman of the Board of Ridgewood Capital since its organization in 1998 and has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ridgewood Energy since its inception in 1982. Mr. Swanson is a member of the New York State and New Jersey State Bars, the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and the New York State Bar Association. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Fordham University Law School.
 
Jeffrey H. Strasberg has served as Executive Vice President of the Trust, the Managing Shareholder, and affiliated Power Trusts and LLCs since May 2007. Mr. Strasberg also serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ridgewood Capital and affiliated LLCs and Ridgewood Securities and has done so since April 2005. Mr. Strasberg joined Ridgewood Capital in 1998 where his initial responsibilities were to serve as interim Chief Financial Officer of various portfolio companies in which Ridgewood Capital Trusts had interests. Mr. Strasberg is a Certified Public Accountant and a graduate of the University of Florida.

21


Daniel V. Gulino has served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Trust, the Managing Shareholder and affiliated Power Trusts and LLCs since 2000 and was appointed Secretary in February 2007. Mr. Gulino also serves as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Ridgewood Energy, Ridgewood Capital, Ridgewood Securities and affiliated Trusts and LLCs and has done so since 2000. Mr. Gulino is a member of the New Jersey State and Pennsylvania State Bars. He is a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University and Rutgers University School of Law.
 
Douglas R. Wilson served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust, the Managing Shareholder and affiliated Power Trusts and LLCs from April 2005 until May 2007. Mr. Wilson continues to serve the Managing Shareholder as Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer. Mr. Wilson has been associated with the Ridgewood group of companies as a consultant and advisor since 1996 performing investment evaluation, structuring and execution services for the trusts and entities managed by Ridgewood Capital LLC. From May of 2002, until its sale in 2007, Mr. Wilson has served as a Director, CEO and Finance Director for CLPE Holdings. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington and has an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Board of Directors and Board Committees
 
The Trust does not have its own board of directors or any board committees. The Trust relies upon the Managing Shareholder to perform the function that a board of directors or its committees would otherwise perform. Officers of the Trust are not directly compensated by the Trust, and all compensation matters are addressed by the Managing Shareholder, as described in Item 11. “Executive Compensation”. Because the Trust does not maintain a board of directors and because officers of the Trust are compensated by the Managing Shareholder, the Managing Shareholder believes that it is appropriate for the Trust to not have a nominating or compensation committee.
 
Managing Shareholder
 
The Trust’s management agreement with the Managing Shareholder details how the Managing Shareholder is to render management, administrative and investment advisory services to the Trust (the “Management Agreement”). Specifically, the Managing Shareholder performs (or may arrange for the performance of) the management and administrative services required for the operation of the Trust. Among other services, the Managing Shareholder administers the accounts and handles relations with shareholders, provides the Trust with office space, equipment and facilities and other services necessary for its operation, and conducts the Trust’s relations with custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and others, as required.
 
The Managing Shareholder is also responsible for making investment and divestment decisions, subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust. The Managing Shareholder is obligated to pay the compensation of the personnel and administrative and service expenses necessary to perform the foregoing obligations. The Trust pays all other expenses of the Trust, including transaction expenses, valuation costs, expenses of preparing and printing periodic reports for shareholders and the SEC, postage for Trust mailings, SEC fees, interest, taxes, legal, accounting and consulting fees, litigation expenses and other expenses properly payable by the Trust. The Trust reimburses the Managing Shareholder for all such Trust expenses paid by the Managing Shareholder.
 
As compensation for the Managing Shareholder’s performance under the Management Agreement, the Trust is obligated to pay the Managing Shareholder an annual management fee described below in Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.
 
Each investor in the Trust consented to the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement by subscribing to acquire Investor Shares in the Trust. The Management Agreement is subject to termination at any time on 60 days prior notice by a majority in interest of the shareholders or the Managing Shareholder. The Management Agreement is subject to amendment by the parties upon the approval of a majority in interest of the investors.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Trust’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Trust’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based on a review of the copies of reports furnished or otherwise available to the Trust, the Trust believes that the filing requirements were not met by Randall D. Holmes, Robert E. Swanson, Douglas R. Wilson, Daniel V. Gulino and Robert L. Gold during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 as they each failed to timely file Form 3. All such required reports have since been filed with the SEC.
 
22


Code of Ethics
 
In March 2004, the Managing Shareholder, for itself and for the Trust and its affiliates adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller (or any persons performing similar functions), of each such entity. A copy of the Code of Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
The executive officers of the Trust do not receive compensation directly from the Trust or any of its subsidiaries. They provide managerial services to the Trust. The Managing Shareholder, or affiliated management companies, determines and pays the compensation of these officers. Each of the executive officers of the Trust also serves as an executive officer of the Managing Shareholder and other trusts managed by the Managing Shareholder and its affiliates.
 
The Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive management fees from the Trust and may determine to use a portion of the proceeds from the management fee to pay compensation to executive officers of the Trust. See Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for more information regarding Managing Shareholder compensation and payments to affiliated entities.
 
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
 
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Trust’s Investor Shares as of December 31, 2005 (no person owns more than 5%) by:
 
 
·
each executive officer (there are no directors) of the Trust; and
 
·
all of the executive officers of the Trust as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Investor Shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 235.3775 Investor Shares outstanding at December 31, 2005. Other than as set forth below, no officer of the Trust owns any shares of the Trust.

Does not include a Management Share in the Trust representing the beneficial interests and management rights of the Managing Shareholder in its capacity as the Managing Shareholder. The management share owned by the Managing Shareholder is the only issued and outstanding management share of the Trust. The management rights of the Managing Shareholder are described in further detail in Item 1. “Business”. Its beneficial interest in cash distributions of the Trust and its allocable share of the Trust’s net profits and net losses and other items attributable to the Management Share are described in further detail below at Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of the Trust’s Management Agreement, the Managing Shareholder provides certain management, administrative and advisory services, and office space to the Trust. In return, the Trust is obligated to pay the Managing Shareholder an annual management fee equal to 1.5% of the Trusts’ prior year net asset value, which equals $72, $91 and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, as compensation for such services. The management fee is to be paid in monthly installments and, to the extent that the Trust does not pay the management fee on a timely basis, the Trust accrues interest at an annual rate of 10% on the unpaid balance.

23


Under the Management Agreement with the Managing Shareholder, Ridgewood Power Management (“RPM”), an entity related to the Managing Shareholder through common ownership, provides management, purchasing, engineering, planning and administrative services to the projects operated by the Fund. RPM charges the projects at its cost for these services and for the allocable amount of certain overhead items. Allocations of costs are on the basis of identifiable direct costs or in proportion to amounts invested in projects managed by RPM. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and  2003, RPM charged the projects approximately $133,000, $138,000 and $140,000, respectively, for overhead items allocated in proportion to the amount invested in projects managed. In addition, RPM charged the projects approximately $2,407,000, $2,012,000 and $1,903,000, respectively, for all of the direct operating and non-operating expenses incurred during such periods.
 
Under the Declaration of Trust, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive, concurrently with the shareholders of the Trust other than the Managing Shareholder, 1% of all distributions from operations made by the Trust in a year until the shareholders have received distributions in that year equal to 14% of their equity contribution. Thereafter, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive 20% of the distributions for the remainder of the year. The Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive 1% of the proceeds from dispositions of Trust property until the shareholders other than the Managing Shareholder, have received cumulative distributions equal to their original investment (“Payout”). After Payout, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive 20% of all remaining distributions of the Trust. Distributions to the Managing Shareholder were $12,000, $14,000 and $14,000 for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Trust has not yet reached Payout.
 
Income is allocated to the Managing Shareholder until the profits so allocated equal distributions to the Managing Shareholder. Thereafter, income is allocated among the shareholders other than the Managing Shareholder in proportion to their ownership of Investor Shares. If the Trust has net losses for a fiscal period, the losses are allocated 99% to the shareholders other than the Managing Shareholder and 1% to the Managing Shareholder, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Declaration of Trust. Amounts allocated to shareholders other than the Managing Shareholder are apportioned among them in proportion to their capital contributions.

Under the terms of the Declaration of Trust, if the Adjusted Capital Account (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) of a shareholder other than the Managing Shareholder would become negative using General Allocations (as defined in the Declaration of Trust), losses and expenses will be allocated to the Managing Shareholder. Should the Managing Shareholder’s Adjusted Capital Account become negative and items of income or gain occur, then such items of income or gain will be allocated entirely to the Managing Shareholder until such time as the Managing Shareholder’s Adjusted Capital Account becomes positive. This mechanism does not change the allocation of cash, as discussed above.

On June 26, 2003, the Managing Shareholder entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association. The agreement, as amended, allows the Managing Shareholder to obtain loans and letters of credit of up to $6,000,000 for the benefit of the Trust and other trusts that it manages. As part of the agreement, the Trust agreed to limitations on its ability to incur indebtedness, liens and to provide guarantees.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
The following table presents fees and services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP, the Trust’s principal accountant, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands).

Total Perelson Weiner fees for services for the Trust’s 2003 audit and for 2003 tax services totaled $26,000 and $25,000, respectively.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
 
The Managing Shareholder pre-approves on an annual basis all audit and permitted non-audit services that may be performed by the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the audit engagement terms and fees, and also pre-approves any detailed types of audit-related and permitted tax services to be performed during the year. The Managing Shareholder pre-approves permitted non-audit services on an engagement-by-engagement basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Managing Shareholder and Shareholders
Ridgewood Electric Power Trust II


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ridgewood Electric Power Trust II (a Delaware trust) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Trust 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 in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’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, 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ridgewood Electric Power Trust II as of December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been restated as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, Sunnyside Cogeneration Partners, L.P. ceased operations in January 2006 and recognized an impairment of the remaining net book value of its assets during the first quarter of 2006.

Among other services, the Managing Shareholder administers the accounts and handles relations with the shareholders, including tax and other financial information. The Managing Shareholder also provides the Trust with office space, equipment and facilities and other services necessary for its operation.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the operations of the Trust have significantly changed as more fully described in Note 10.

2.     RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Trust has identified a series of adjustments, including adjustments related to an impairment of assets, accounting for professional service fees, value of the steam by-product generated at one of its plants, and accounting for derivatives, which have resulted in the restatement of the previously issued financial statements of the Trust for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30 of 2004 and 2003, and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The tables below present the changes in financial statement line items between the Trust’s previously reported and restated balance sheets and statements of operations.  These restatements did not have a significant impact on the Trust’s statements of cash flows.  Explanatory comments follow the tables.

(A) Originally, the Trust did not properly recognize the market value related to its gas purchase contract. As a result, the Trust recorded a liability value of $316 at the beginning of 2003 with a corresponding decrease to beginning shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the Trust did not properly record the changes in the value of the contract that occurred during 2003 and 2004 and as a result, the Trust recorded a gain of $748 and $393, respectively as a component of cost of revenues. Previously, the Trust recorded the changes in the value of the contract that occurred during 2003 and 2004 to other income.  Accordingly in this restatement, the gain of $488 and $278 was reclassified to cost of revenues during 2003 and 2004, respectively.

 
(B) In the previously issued financial statements, the Trust failed to recognize an impairment of equipment for irrigation service engines. An impairment was determined, and restated by the Trust, based on projected cash flows to be required effective December 31, 2003.  As a result, the Trust recorded an impairment in 2003 of approximately $190; offset by a decrease to the recorded net book value of the engines.  Furthermore, in 2004, as a result of the impairment, depreciation expense subsequent to the impairment was overstated by $104.  As a result, the Trust decreased depreciation expense and decreased accumulated depreciation by $104.

 
(C) In the previously issued financial statements, the Trust incorrectly accrued professional service fees in the period to be audited or reviewed rather than during the period in which the services were performed.   As a result, the Trust overaccrued $41 and $40 of professional fees for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The 2004 over accrual was adjusted by recording a decrease to accrued expenses of $41, and decreases to general and administrative expenses and beginning shareholders’ equity of $2 and $41, respectively.  On December 31, 2003, the overaccrual was adjusted by recording a decrease to accrued expenses of $40, and an increase to general and administrative expenses and beginning shareholders’ equity of $2 and $40, respectively.

 
(D) In the previously issued financial statements, the Trust failed to value the steam by-product generated at one of its plants that is provided to its site landlord.  Although there was no affect on the Trust’s net operating results, the Trust recorded the value of this by-product as an increase to revenue of $302 and $325 with corresponding increases to cost of revenues in the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

 
 (E) Certain items in the previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  These reclassifications had no material effect on net income.

The Trust restated 2002 amounts by decreasing the Trust’s beginning shareholders’ equity as of January 1, 2003 by $274. The adjustments recorded that were made to the Trust’s equity as of January 1, 2003, was an overstatement of accrued professional service fees of $42 offset by a decrease in its gas purchase contract of $316.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

3.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Trust to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Trust evaluates its estimates, including accounts receivable, investments, recoverable value of plant and equipment, intangibles and recordable liabilities for litigation and other contingencies. The Trust bases its estimates on historical experience, current and expected conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

c) Revenue Recognition

Power generation revenue is recorded in the month of delivery, based on the estimated volumes sold to customers at rates stipulated in the power sales contract. Adjustments are made to reflect actual volumes delivered when the actual information subsequently becomes available. Billings to customers for power generation generally occurs during the month following delivery. Final billings do not vary significantly from estimates.

d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Trust considers all highly liquid investments with maturities, when purchased, of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2005 consist of funds deposited in bank accounts. Cash balances with banks as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 exceed insured limits by approximately $96, $330 and $1,118, respectively.

e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoice price in the period the related revenues are earned, and do not bear interest. No allowance for bad debt expense was provided based upon historical write-off experience, evaluation of customer credit condition and the general economic status of the customers.

f) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment, consists of equipment, leasehold improvements, and building which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.  Repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets.  The difference, if any, between the net asset value and any proceeds from such retirement or disposal is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations.
 
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

g) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
 
The Trust evaluates intangible assets and long-lived assets, such as plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is made by comparing the carrying value of an asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. If impairment has occurred, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, which is based on the estimated future cash flows discounted at the estimated cost of capital.  The analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate.  Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary.

h) Gas Contract

In August 2001, Monterey entered into an agreement to purchase natural gas, at fixed prices, over a five-year term in connection with entering into an amendment fixing the sales price of electric power sales contracts for a similar term. This contract was entered into in order to minimize the impact of fluctuating energy prices. The Trust has determined that this contract is a derivative as defined under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended. The Trust has designated the derivatives as a non-hedge instrument. Accordingly, the value of the contract based on the differences between contract prices and market value prices is recognized as an asset or a liability in the balance sheet. Changes in the carrying value of the contract is reflected as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

i) Income Taxes

No provision is made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the income or losses of the Trust are passed through and included in the income tax returns of the individual shareholders of the Trust.

j) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Trust’s comprehensive income (loss) consists only of net income (loss).

k) Significant Customer and Supplier

During 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Trust’s largest customer, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”), accounted for 88%, 87%, and 80%, respectively, of total revenues.  During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Trust purchased substantially all of its gas supply from one supplier.

l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value.

m) Unaudited Interim Results
 
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Trust’s financial position and its results of operations and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented.

 SFAS 143 and FIN 47

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, on the accounting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 requires a liability to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements for retirement obligations meeting specific criteria. Measurement of the initial obligation is to approximate fair value, with an equivalent amount recorded as an increase in the value of the capitalized asset. The asset will be depreciated in accordance with normal depreciation policy and the liability will be increased for the time value of money, with a charge to the income statement, until the obligation is settled. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Furthermore, in March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, which clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143. Specifically, FIN 47 provides that an asset retirement obligation is conditional when the timing and/or method of settling the obligation is conditioned on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 145

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates extraordinary accounting treatment for reporting gain or loss on debt extinguishment, and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for interim periods beginning after May 15, 2002.  The Trust adopted SFAS No. 145 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 146

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred.  SFAS No. 146 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2002.  The Trust adopted SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FIN 45

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, under certain circumstances, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002; while the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual reports ending after December 15, 2002. The Trust adopted FIN 45 during the fourth quarter of 2002 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

FIN 46R

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") which changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and apply in the first fiscal period ending after March 15, 2004, for variable interest entities created prior to January 1, 2004. The Trust adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN 46 effective December 31, 2003, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.  In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”) to clarify some of the provisions and to exempt certain entities from its requirements.  The Trust implemented the full provisions of FIN 46R effective January 1, 2004, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 149

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 149 effective July 1, 2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 150

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS No. 150 is effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Trust adopted SFAS No. 150 effective July 1, 2003, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 153

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“Opinion 29”), is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 153 effective June 15, 2005, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 154

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.  SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as changes pursuant to accounting pronouncements that do not include transition rules.   Under SFAS No. 154, changes in accounting principle must be applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, or the earliest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle.  The Trust adopted SFAS No. 154 effective December 15, 2005, and accordingly restated the consolidated financial statements, as described in Note 2.

4.  PROJECTS AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Sunnyside Cogeneration Partners,  L.P.

On January 9, 1995, the Trust acquired 100% of the existing partnership interests of Sunnyside Cogeneration Partners, L.P., which owns and operates a 5.5 megawatt (“MW”) electric cogeneration facility, located in Monterey County, California (“Monterey”). The aggregate purchase price was $5,198 including transaction costs. Electricity is sold to PG&E under a long term contract expiring in 2020.

The acquisition of Monterey was accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of Monterey have been included in the Trust’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.  The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired, based on their respective fair values.  Of the purchase price, $3,032 was allocated to the electric power sales contract and is being amortized over the life of the contract of 25 years.

Monterey suspended operations in January 2006. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Pump Services Company, LP

In 1995, the Trust purchased a package of irrigation service engines (the “Pumping Project") located in Ventura County, California.  The purchase price was $952.  The Trust performed an impairment assessment in 2003 using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology, and noted the carrying value of the Pumping Project exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Trust recorded an impairment of the remaining net book value of the equipment for $190 in 2003.  The engines were sold in January 2006 for $1.

B-3 Limited Partnership and Pittsfield Investor Limited Partnership

In January 1994, the Trust made an equity investment of $2,300 in Pittsfield Investors Limited Partnership (“PILP”), which was formed to acquire a waste-to-energy project designed and built to burn municipal solid waste supplied by the City of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, surrounding communities and other waste providers as well as to supply steam to a nearby paper mill.  The PILP project originally began operating in 1981 and was operated and co-owned with the Trust by subsidiaries of Energy Answers Corporation (“EAC”). The Trust made an additional investment with affiliates of EAC in August 1994 when it purchased an interest in the B-3 Limited Partnership (“B-3”) for $3,975.  The business of B-3 was the construction and operation of a municipal waste transfer station in Columbia County, New York.  In September 2002, the Trust sold its interests in PILP and B-3 to EAC for $1,200 in cash and $5,000 of promissory notes. The notes bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and were to be paid over a 17-year term. The notes were collateralized solely by the assets of the projects and are without recourse to EAC.

Recovery of interest and principal under the promissory notes were dependent upon the operations of the partnership investment transferred. Consequently, the Trust deferred its gain on the sale of its ownership interest until the carrying value of the investments were fully recovered. The cash proceeds received for the interest and principal were recorded as a reduction of its investment in partnership transferred under contractual agreement through June 30, 2005.  The note payments remained current until the notes were paid in full on October 31, 2007.

In connection with the ground lease, Monterey has not delivered by-product steam since it was shut down in January 2006. As a result, it may be subject to penalties from the lessor. The Trust considers the likelihood of any claim in this matter to be remote.

The Trust is subject to legal proceedings involving ordinary and routine claims related to its business.  The ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such matters cannot be estimated with certainty and requires the use of estimates in recording liabilities for potential litigation settlements.  Estimates for losses from litigation are disclosed if considered reasonably possible and accrued if considered probable after consultation with outside counsel.  If estimates of potential losses increase or the related facts and circumstances change in the future, the Trust may be required to record additional litigation expense.

8.
TRANSACTION WITH MANAGING SHAREHOLDER AND AFFILIATES

The Trust operates pursuant to the terms of a Management Agreement with the Managing Shareholder, under which the Managing Shareholder renders certain management, administrative and advisory services and provides office space and other facilities to the Trust. The Trust pays the Managing Shareholder an annual management fee, which is payable in equal monthly installments, equal to 1.5% of the Trust’s shareholders’ equity as of the beginning of the year.  During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Trust paid management fees to the Managing Shareholder of $72, $91, and $109, respectively. The management fee is to be paid in monthly installments and, to the extent that this includes the amount waived, the Trust does not pay the management fee on a timely basis, the Trust accrues interest at an annual rate of 10% on the unpaid balance.

Under the Declaration of Trust, the Managing Shareholder receives 100% of current year operating profits until cumulative profits equal cumulative losses allocated to the Managing Shareholder.  The Managing Shareholder then receives 1% of operating profits until the shareholders have received 14% per annum of their equity contribution (“Payout”).  After Payout, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive 20% of the distributions for the remainder of the year.  Losses incurred in any given year are allocated 1% to the Managing Shareholder, provided the allocation of losses to the shareholders shall be limited to prevent the shareholder from having a negative capital account. These allocations do not affect the allocation of cash distributions discussed below.

The Managing Shareholder is also entitled to receive 1% of all annual distributions made by the Trust (other than those derived from the disposition of Trust property) until Payout.  Once Payout is reached, the Managing Shareholder is entitled to receive 20% of all future distributions.  During 2005, 2004, and 2003, cash distributions to the Managing Shareholder were $12, $14 and $14, respectively. The Trust has not yet reached Payout.

The Managing Shareholder owns 1.45 investor shares. The Trust granted the Managing Shareholder a single Management Share representing the Managing Shareholder's management rights and rights to distributions of cash flow.

Under the Management Agreement with the Managing Shareholder, Ridgewood Power Management ("RPM"), an entity related to the Managing Shareholder through common ownership, provides management, purchasing, engineering, planning and administrative services to the projects operated by the Fund. RPM charges the projects at its cost for these services and for the allocable amount of certain overhead items. Allocations of costs are on the basis of identifiable direct costs or in proportion to amounts invested in projects managed by RPM. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, RPM charged the projects $133, $138 and $140, respectively, for overhead items allocated in proportion to the amount invested in projects managed. In addition, RPM charged the projects $2,407, $2,012 and $1,903, respectively, for all of the direct operating and non-operating expenses incurred during such periods.

On June 26, 2003, the Managing Shareholder entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association.  The agreement, as amended, allows the Managing Shareholder to obtain loans and letters of credit of up to $6,000 for the benefit of the trusts and extended the Managing Shareholder’s line of credit, through May 31, 2008.  As part of the agreement, the Trust agreed to limitations on its ability to incur indebtedness, and liens and to provide guarantees.  In August 2003, the Trust issued through its bank a standby letter of credit, in the amount of $504 to secure the gas purchases for Monterey.  In August of 2004, the supplier of natural gas to Monterey agreed to reduce the standby letter of credit to $230.  The standby letter of credit remained at $230 on December 31, 2005 until it expired and was reduced to zero at August 31, 2006.

The Trust records short-term payables and receivables from other affiliates in the ordinary course of business. The amounts payable and receivable with the other affiliates do not bear interest. At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 the Trust had outstanding payables and receivables as follows:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

For the first 15 years of operation, PG&E “dispatched” Monterey to produce and deliver electricity up to its contract capacity on a 13 hour per day, five day per week basis (“13x5”).  However, on December 1, 2005, PG&E dispatched Monterey on a 24 hour per day, seven day per week basis (“24x7”) for an indefinite period, effective January 1, 2006. Monterey advised PG&E that its 24x7 dispatch order was a breach of the parties’ power purchase agreement.  Management of Monterey was also concerned that if the facility continued to produce and supply power consistent with the parties’ prior course of performance, PG&E would refuse to pay.  Accordingly, Monterey demanded that PG&E provide adequate assurances that it would continue to pay Monterey for its capacity and its electricity produced and delivered in accordance with the parties’ longstanding 13x5 operations.  PG&E did not provide such assurances.  In the absence of such assurances, Monterey suspended operations on or about January 9, 2006.  Monterey filed a Complaint against PG&E in the San Francisco Superior Court on May 16, 2006 (the “Monterey Complaint”).  The Monterey Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract, damages for PG&E’s breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and a claim for declaratory relief against PG&E, seeking a judicial determination that PG&E’s conduct materially breached the parties’ agreement and justified Monterey’s suspension of performance. Monterey is seeking damages against PG&E estimated at approximately $5,000.  A Jury Trial with regard to this matter is currently set for February 8, 2008.

On May 14, 2007, PG&E filed a Complaint in San Francisco Superior Court against Monterey (the “PG&E Complaint”).  The PG&E Complaint arises out of the same transactions and occurrences that gave rise to the Monterey Complaint against PG&E.  PG&E asserted claims for compensatory damages for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing as well as “restitution” of capacity payments made to Monterey on a theory of unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief for repayment of capacity payments made to the Monterey. PG&E is seeking restitution damages against Monterey estimated at approximately $4,800.
 
The claims made by PG&E have been made solely against Monterey and do not involve any claims against the Trust. Both of the above litigation matters are currently in discovery.  Monterey intends to vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against PG&E’s claims and believes it will ultimately prevail.
 
On August 16, 2006, the Managing Shareholder of the Trust and affiliates of the Trust, filed lawsuits against the former independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust, Perelson Weiner, LLP (“Perelson Weiner”), in New Jersey Superior Court.  The suits alleged professional malpractice and breach of contract in connection with audit and accounting services performed by Perelson Weiner. On October 26, 2006, Perelson Weiner filed a counterclaim against the Trust, and its affiliates alleging breach of contract due to unpaid invoices. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been set. The costs and expenses of the litigation are being paid for by the Managing Shareholder and affiliated management companies and not the underlying investment funds, including the Trust.

On October 31, 2007, the Trust received approximately $5,000 as full payment of the PILP and B-3 notes.

Swanson EX-10.2 4 ex10_2.txt Exhibit 10.2 Power Purchase Agreement ------------------------ The Sunnyside Project operates under a Standard Offer No. 2 Power Purchase Agreement with PG&E, which provides for the following: Term: 30 years from date operations commenced (May 1991). Capacity: 5,500 Kilowatts, firm, delivered to PG&E system (after considering parasitic requirements of the plant site). Capacity $209.00 per Kilowatt-year plus bonuses of up to $36.88 per Price: kilowatt-year. Both are subject to a line-loss adjustment factor of .989 to yield net capacity payments of $206.70 and $36.48, respectively. Capacity See Capacity Payments Section herein. Payements: Energy 100% of PG&E's full short-run avoided operating cost Price: ("SRAC") per Kilowatt hour as approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. (Prices vary between On-Peak, Partial-Peak, Off-Peak and Super-Off-Peak hours, and differ between Period A and Period B.) Availability: During applicable operating period (generally 13 hours per day), the Project must be available to operate at a minimum of 80% of contract capacity. The Project is "dispatchable" and may be called upon by PG&E to produce electricity at any time. Payments: PG&E shall provide statements and issue checks in favor of the Project on a monthly basis. (in general, the Project receives capacity and energy payments within 35 days of the last day of the month in which power is produced, e.g., May revenues are collected by July 5.) Scheduled The Project may have outages of up to 840 hours per year for Maintenance scheduled maintenance. (Scheduled Maintenance outages are Outages: generally not permitted during On-Peak hours of the three Peak Months.) 41 Capacity Payments From PG&E --------------------------- Capacity Payment Revenues consist of Base Capacity Payments and Capacity Bonuses. A combined formula which calculates the total Capacity Payments for a month is shown below: Capacity Payment = Period Price Factor ("PPF") Times ----- Monthly Delivered Capacity ("MDC") Times ----- Capacity Line Loss Adjustment Factor ("CLAF") Times ----- Performance Bonus Factor ("PBF") PPF: The Period Price Factor segments the annual Base Capacity Payment per Kilowatt of contract capacity into a monthly base payment per Kw which, for Sunnyside, is equal throughout the year. Base Capacity PG&E's Payment Monthly Factor Per Kw -------------- ------ January 8.3333% $ 17.42 February 8.3333 17.42 March 8.3333 17.42 April 8.3333 17.42 May 8.3333 17.42 June 8.3333 17.42 July 8.3333 17.42 August 8.3333 17.42 September 8.3333 17.42 October 8.3333 17.42 November 8.3333 17.42 December 8.3333 17.42 -------- ------- 100.0000% $209.00 ======== ======= 42 MDC: Monthly Delivered Capacity is the product of (x) contract firm capacity of the facility times (y) the actual Monthly Capacity Factor ("MCF") achieved during the month during both On-Peak and Partial-Peak hours (a total of 13 hours per day during Period A). The contract firm capacity of the Project is 5,500 Kw. The Monthly Capacity Factor, MCF, represents (1) the actual electric output of the facility during applicable hours divided by (2) (i) contract firm capacity times (ii) hours in the period (minus PG&E's forced outage hours and scheduled maintenance hours) times (iii) 80%. The MCF is limited to not more than 1.0 (100%). Thus, by operating the Project at 80% of contract capacity during the On-Peak and Partial-Peak hours (13 hours) for the month the MDC equals: Contract Firm Capacity MCF MDC -------- --- --- 5,500 X 1 = 5.500 CLAF: This factor is a multiplier designed to account for line losses which occur between (x) the point of delivery into PG&E's system and (y) the point of delivery to the ultimate end-user. Contractually, PG&E and the Protect have agreed that the line-loss is 1.1%, hence a factor of .989 (98.9%) PBF: The Performance Bonus Factor is designed to increase the Capacity Payment by a "Capacity Bonus". Eligibility for the Capacity Bonus payment is measured relative to the On-Peak hours (noon to 6:00 p.m. weekdays) of each Peak Month (June, July and August). A Capacity Bonus can be earned by any Project that exceeds an 85% average output (measured solely with reference to the energy produced by the Project's contractually specified firm capacity) during the On-Peak hours of the three Peak Months. The "Performance Bonus Factor (PBF) is a multiplier representing the percentage (up to 17.65%) by which the Projects On-Peak output exceeds 85% of contract firm capacity. Thus, a Performance Bonus Factor of 1.1765 (the maximum PBF; 100% divided by 85% = 1.1765 or 1.1765% of contract firm capacity) represents a 100% capacity factor during the On-Peak hours of each of the Peak Months. (The PBF is 1.0 for output between 80% and 95% of capacity during the On-Peak hours.) In determining Capacity Bonus Payments. PG&E has the right to, and does, accumulate performance for up to five consecutive Bonus Periods. 43 The Maximum Capacity Payment for the Sunnyside Project is shown below:
Kilowatts Period Monthly Capacity Performance Maximum Price Delivered Line-Loss Bonus Capacity Factor Capacity Factor Factor Payment ------ -------- ------ ------ ------- PPF x MDC x CLAF x PBF = January $ 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 $ 111,456 February 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 March 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 April 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 May 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 June 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 July 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 August 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 September 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 October 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 November 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 December 17.42 5,500 .989 1.176 111,456 ----- ----- ------- $209.00 1.176 $1,337,477 ======= ===== ========== Base Payment 1.000 $1,136,856 Bonus Payment .176 200,621 ---- ------- 1.176 $1,337,477 ===== ==========
Threshold Output In order to meet the contractual obligations of supplying firm capacity, and to become "eligible" for receiving the full amount of firm capacity payments, a Project must deliver its contractually specified firm capacity for all of PG&E's On-Peak hours (12:00 noon - 6:00 p.m.) during each of the Peak Months (June, July and August), subject to a 20% forced outage rate (forced by equipment failure, etc.). (Maintenance outages are generally not permitted during the Peak Months.) Stated another way, an average of at least 80% of the contractually-specified firm capacity must be delivered during each of the On-Peak hours in each of the Peak Months. Failure to meet this minimum performance standard will result in the Project being placed on probation for a period not to exceed 15 months, during which time Capacity Payments will be reduced in accordance with the contract. If at the end of the probation period the Project cannot meet the performance requirements for the firm capacity it has pledged, PG&E can permanently de-rate the Project's firm capacity. 44

Borrower may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion.

All amounts so deferred shall be added to the principal amount of this Note and bear interest at ten percent (10%) per annum beginning on October 1, 2004.

Lender shall set up and establish for Borrower an account on the books of Lender in which will be recorded payments and other appropriate debits and credits in connection with this Note. Lender shall also record, in accordance with customary accounting practice, all other interest, charges, expenses and other items properly chargeable to Borrower, and other appropriate debits and credits.

Interest shall continue to be charged on the unpaid principal plus accrued interest after default at the rate otherwise applicable under this Note, plus 5% per annum, all at the option of the Lender, until the indebtedness is paid in full.

Security (a) The indebtedness evidenced by this Note and any renewals or extension thereof is secured by the PILP Collateral, evidenced by the PILP Collateral Documents (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement).

If any provision of this Note should conflict with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect any other provision which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable. If any part of this Note is deemed ambiguous, such ambiguity shall not be resolved against Lender simply because Lender was the author of this Note. All rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Borrower hereby submits to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in Massachusetts. Borrower expressly waives trial by jury of any issue arising out of Lender's enforcement of this note and Lender's granting and administering the loan represented hereby.
