PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is a summary of us and our business and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our securities discussed under “Risk Factors,” before making an investment decision.

Our Business

U.S. Geothermal Inc. is engaged in the acquisition, development and exploitation of geothermal resources. Our principal focus is the development of the Raft River project, a geothermal project encompassing approximately 8.4 square miles of land located at Raft River, Idaho. Geothermal energy is the natural heat energy stored within the earth’s crust. In some areas of the earth, economic concentrations of heat energy result from a combination of geological conditions that allow water to penetrate into hot rocks at depth, become heated, and then circulate to a near surface environment. In these settings, commercially viable extraction of the geothermal energy and its conversion to electricity become possible and a “geothermal resource” is present.

Our activities to date have primarily focused on determining whether the Raft River project can produce geothermal energy on an economic basis. Extensive testing in the area indicates that a potentially commercially viable geothermal reservoir is available.

We intend to develop the Raft River project in two or more phases. For Phase 1 of development at Raft River, we intend to commercialize the existing production wells and energy field by construction and operation of a 13 megawatt binary cycle geothermal power plant that will provide the energy to be delivered under a power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company. We have signed an engineering, procurement and construction agreement for the first power plant, and bids have been solicited from several engineering firms to provide engineering, procurement and construction services on all remaining aspects of Phase 1 that are not included in this agreement. Final engineering, equipment procurement and construction is anticipated to take approximately 14 to 16 months from April 25, 2006, and the initial power plant is anticipated to begin production by the end of the third quarter of 2007. The total Phase 1 construction and development costs are expected to be $39 million for the construction of a binary cycle geothermal power plant capable of producing 13 megawatts of power. We have completed project financing for Phase 1 of the Raft River project, whereby Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., will contribute $34 million in cash and we will contribute $5 million in cash and approximately $1.5 million in property to Raft River Energy I LLC, the Phase 1 project joint venture company.

Phase 2 will involve the construction and operation of two additional 13 megawatt power plants. Strong regional interest in geothermal power has resulted in several utilities entering into discussions with us to purchase the electrical power output from the two additional plants. Subject to drilling confirmation of the availability of sufficient geothermal resource, the output from all three power plants at Raft River could be as much as 39 megawatts.

Please see the more detailed discussion of our business starting at page 14 for more information about the Raft River project.

We are still a development stage company and have produced no revenues to date.

Our principal executive office is located at 1509 Tyrell Lane, Suite B, Boise, Idaho 83706. Our telephone number there is 208-424-1027 and our fax number is 208-424-1030.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the following factors, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, in evaluating our business and proposed activities before you purchase any shares of our common stock. You should also see the section on Forward-Looking Statements immediately following these Risk Factors regarding risks and uncertainties relating to us and to forward looking statements in this prospectus.

Risks Relating To Our Business

We have a limited operating history, have incurred losses to date, and cannot give any assurance that we can ever attain profitability.

We have been engaged in limited activities in the geothermal business to date. As a result of our brief operating history, our operating results from historical periods are not readily comparable to, and may not be indicative of, future results. We have not generated revenues from operations to date, and cannot give any assurance that we will be able to generate revenues in the future. For the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we incurred net losses of $164,909, $676,398, $1,830,421, and $1,523,385 respectively. At March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, we had accumulated deficits of $3,709,150 and $5,232,535, respectively. We expect to incur losses for at least the next 18 months and maybe longer. We cannot give you any assurance that we will soon make a profit or that we will ever make a profit.

Our future performance depends on our ability to establish that the geothermal resource is economically sustainable.

Geothermal resource exploration and development involves a high degree of risk. The recovery of the amounts shown for geothermal properties and related deferred costs on our financial statements, as well as the execution of our business plan generally, is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable and sustainable reserves. While testing carried out in the Raft River area by various government organizations in the past and by us since our acquisition of the property interests comprising the Raft River project, as well as the reports prepared by GeothermEx Inc., support the existence of a geothermal resource, whether this resource is economically recoverable depends on a number of factors, including:

  • the heat content of the extractable steam or fluids;

  • the geology of the reservoir;

  • the total amount of recoverable resource;

  • operating expenses relating to the extraction of steam or fluids;

  • price levels relating to the extraction of steam or fluids or power generated; and

  • capital expenditure requirements relating primarily to the drilling of new wells.

In connection with each geothermal power plant, we must estimate the productivity of the geothermal resource and the expected decline in productivity over time. The productivity of a geothermal resource may decline more than anticipated, resulting in insufficient resource being available for sustained generation of the electrical power capacity desired. An incorrect estimate by us or an unexpected decline in productivity could, if material, adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Geothermal reservoirs are highly complex. As a result, there exist numerous uncertainties in determining the extent of the reservoirs and the quantity and productivity of the steam reserves. Reservoir engineering is an inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of steam or fluids that cannot be measured in any precise way, and depends significantly on the quantity and accuracy of available data. Estimates of reserves are generally revised over time on the basis of the results of drilling, testing and production that occur after the original estimate was prepared. Accordingly, there is a risk of an unexpected decline in the capacity of geothermal wells and a risk of geothermal reservoirs not being sufficient for sustained production of power at expected levels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to accurately estimate the quantity or productivity of our steam reserves.

7


We have a need for substantial additional financing and will have to significantly delay, curtail or cease operations if we are unable to secure this financing.

We require substantial additional financing to fund the cost of continued development of future Phases of the Raft River project and other operating activities, and to finance the growth of our business, including the construction and commissioning of additional power generation facilities. We may not be able to obtain the needed funds on terms acceptable to us or at all. Further, if additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, significant dilution to our current shareholders may occur and new investors may get rights that are preferential to current shareholders. Alternatively, we may have to bring in additional joint venture partners to fund further development work, which would result in a further reduction in our interest in the Raft River project.

It is very costly to place geothermal resources into commercial production.

Before the sale of any power can occur from Phase 1 of the Raft River project, it will be necessary to construct a gathering and disposal system, a power plant, and a transmission line, and considerable administrative costs would be incurred, together with the drilling of additional wells. We have estimated these costs to be around $39,000,000 to be incurred over an eighteen month period. To fund expenditures of this magnitude, we have involved a joint venture participant with substantial financial resources, effectively reducing our interest in the Raft River project. Phase 2 will require investments of comparable or greater magnitude, and may require further involvement of joint venture participants. There can be no assurance that these participants can be found and, if found, their involvement would result in us having to substantially reduce our interest in the project.

We may experience project development risks.

Project development involves significant environmental, engineering and construction risks. Our ability to develop the Raft River project is dependent on a number of other factors outside our control, including obtaining power sales agreements, fuel supply and transportation agreements, electrical transmission agreements, site agreements and construction contracts. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining these agreements. The Raft River project is still in the planning and development stage and we have not signed power sales agreements for all Phases of the Project.

The construction and operation of power generation facilities require numerous permits, approvals and certificates from appropriate federal, state and local governmental agencies, as well as compliance with environmental protection legislation and other regulations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses, permits, approvals and certificates for the Raft River project or that the completed power plants will comply with all applicable permit conditions, statutes or regulations. In addition, regulatory compliance for the construction of new power generation facilities is a costly and time consuming process, and intricate and changing environmental and other regulatory requirements may necessitate substantial expenditures for permitting and may create a significant risk of expensive delays or significant loss of value in the Raft River project if the Project is unable to function as planned due to changing requirements.

Actual costs of construction or operation of a power plant may exceed estimates used in negotiation of power purchase agreements.

Our initial power purchase agreement is under rates established by the Idaho Public Utility Commission, using an “avoided-cost” model for cost of construction and operating costs of a power plant. If the actual costs of construction or operations exceed the model costs, we may not be able to build the contemplated power plant, or if constructed, may not be able to operate profitably.

New projects are subject to risks associated with the construction of power plants including risks of delays in completion, cost overruns and failures of the construction contractors to perform in accordance with contract terms. Although the engineering, procurement and construction agreement that we have signed for the development of the first power plant is for a fixed price with performance warranties, there are other aspects of development of Phase 1 of the Raft River project that are not covered by this agreement. In addition, the terms of the agreements that we have entered into for the financing of Phase 1 stipulate that we are responsible for any cost overruns in the development. If the other aspects of Phase 1 of the project are not developed under fixed price contracts, or if the performance warranties and other terms are not met by the contractor under the existing agreement, we may face

8


delays, cost overruns, or unsatisfactory work in completion of Phase 1 of the project, which would, in turn, hurt our results of operations, and our financial position.

We may not be able to manage our growth.

Significant growth in our operations will place demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources, and the increased scope of our operations will present challenges to us due to increased management time and resources required and our existing limited staff. Our future performance and profitability will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate the operational, financial and administrative functions of the Raft River project and other acquired properties into our operations, to hire additional personnel and to implement necessary enhancements to our management systems to respond to changes in our business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. Our inability to integrate acquired properties, to hire additional personnel or to enhance our management systems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we incur material debt to fund our business, we could face significant risks associated with this debt.

We will need to procure significant additional financing to construct, commission and operate additional power plants at Raft River in order to generate and sell electricity. If this financing includes the issuance of material amounts of debt, this would expose us to risks including, among others, the following:

  • a portion of our cash flow from operations would be used for the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness and would not be available for operating expenses, capital expenditures or other purposes;

  • a significant level of indebtedness and the covenants governing this indebtedness could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business because some activities or financing options may be limited or prohibited under the terms of agreements relating to this indebtedness;

  • a significant level of indebtedness may make us more vulnerable to defaults by the purchasers of electricity or in the event of a downturn in our business because of fixed debt service obligations; and

  • the terms of agreements may require us to make interest and principal payments and to remain in compliance with stated financial covenants and ratios. If the requirements of these agreements were not satisfied, the lenders would be entitled to accelerate the payment of all outstanding indebtedness and foreclose on the collateral securing payment of that indebtedness, which would likely include our interest in the project.

In this event, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient funds available or could obtain the financing required to meet our obligations, including the repayment of outstanding principal and interest on this indebtedness.

We will depend upon a limited number of parties to power sales agreements. Revenues under power sales agreements may be difficult to predict.

Our power generation facilities will rely for revenue on one or more power sales agreements with one or more utility or other customers, such as Idaho Power Company, for substantially all of our revenue. The loss of any one power sales agreement with any of these customers could have a negative effect on our financial position and our results of operations. In addition, any material failure by any customer to fulfill its obligations under a power sales agreement could have a negative effect on our results of operations.

The energy payments under the power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company depend, or will in the future depend, at least in part, on the cost that Idaho Power Company avoids by purchasing energy from the Phase 1 power plant of our Raft River project instead of obtaining the energy from other sources. Estimates of Idaho Power Company's avoided costs vary substantially and we cannot predict the level of payments to be made in the future under these power purchase agreements. These future payments may be lower than as contemplated by the projections. In addition, under the terms of our initial power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company, if we do not deliver electricity output within 90% to 110% of our forecasted amount, payments for the amount delivered will be reduced, possibly significantly. If we consistently forecast our output incorrectly, our revenues will be reduced, and we may not be able to operate the Raft River project profitably.

9


The success of our business relies on retaining our key personnel.

We are dependent upon the services of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel J. Kunz, our Chief Financial Officer, Kerry D. Hawkley, our Chief Operating Officer, Douglas J. Glaspey, and Kevin Kitz, our Vice President – Project Development. The loss of any of their services could have a material adverse effect upon us. We have executed employment agreements with these persons but do not have key-man insurance on any of them.

Our development activities are inherently very risky.

The development of a geothermal resource is such that there cannot be any assurance of success. Exploration costs are not fixed, and the resource cannot be relied upon until substantial development has taken place, which entails high exploration and development costs. The costs of development drilling are subject to numerous variables which could result in substantial cost overruns. Drilling for geothermal resource may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs.

Our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including economic conditions, mechanical problems, title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays of equipment and services. If our drilling activities are not successful, we would experience a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to the substantial risk that wells drilled will not be productive, or may decline in productivity after commencement of production, hazards such as unusual or unexpected geologic formations, pressures, downhole fires, mechanical failures, blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of well fluids, pollution and other physical and environmental risks are inherent in geothermal exploration and production. These hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. As protection against operating hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, potential losses. We do not fully insure against all risks associated with our business either because insurance is not available or because the cost of coverage is considered prohibitive. The occurrence of an event that is not covered, or not fully covered, by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The impact of governmental regulation could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, including laws and regulations on taxation, the exploration for and development, production and distribution of electricity, and environmental and safety matters. Many laws and regulations require drilling permits and govern the spacing of wells, rates of production, prevention of waste and other matters. These laws and regulations may increase the costs and timing of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating and abandoning our geothermal wells, the power plant and other facilities. In addition, our operations are subject to complex environmental laws and regulations adopted by federal, state and local jurisdictions where we operate. We could incur liability to governments or third parties for any unlawful discharge of pollutants into the air, soil or water, including responsibility for remedial costs. We could potentially discharge materials into the environment in any of the following ways:

  • from a well or drilling equipment at a drill site;

  • leakage from gathering systems, pipelines, power plant and storage tanks;

  • damage to geothermal wells resulting from accidents during normal operations; and

  • blowouts, cratering and explosions.

In addition, the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments may be required. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards, and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

10


Because the requirements imposed by these laws and regulations are frequently changed, we cannot assure you that laws and regulations enacted in the future, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not adversely affect our business. In addition, because we acquire interests in properties that have been operated in the past by others, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by former operators.

We may lose our status as a “qualifying facility”.

Under present federal law, we are not and will not be regulated as a holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 as long as each power plant in which we have an interest is a qualifying facility under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. A qualifying facility that is a cogeneration facility must produce not only electricity but also thermal energy for use in an industrial or commercial process or heating or cooling applications in specified proportions to the facility's total energy output and must meet specified energy efficiency standards. Under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, a regulated public electric utility company must purchase electricity at its avoided cost from an independent power plant which has qualifying facility status. Qualifying facility status is granted to independent power plants which use fossil fuel in a manner which allows for recovery and use of a specified percentage of otherwise rejected heat thereby achieving a higher degree of fuel efficiency. Qualifying facility status is also granted to independent power plants which use renewable energy sources, including geothermal, hydro, solar, wind, and waste products, without regard to heat recovery. An independent power plant using fossil fuel, which loses its ability to use recovered heat, could fall below the efficiency standards and thereby lose its qualifying facility status. The regulated public electric utility company, which may have been required to purchase electricity from the independent power plant, could thereafter refuse to purchase that electricity. Independent power plants which have qualifying facility status, and which are not fossil fuel driven, are not required to meet efficiency standards regarding qualifying facility status.

Industry competition may impede our growth.

The electrical power generation industry, of which geothermal power is a sub-component, is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete successfully or grow our business.

We compete in areas of pricing, grid access and markets. The industry in the Pacific Northwest, in which the Raft River project is located, is complex as it is composed of public utility districts, cooperatives and investor-owned power companies. Many of the participants produce and distribute electricity. Their willingness to purchase electricity from an independent producer may be based on a number of factors and not solely on pricing and surety of supply.

Claims have been made that some geothermal plants cause seismic activity and related property damage.

There are approximately two dozen geothermal plants operating within a fifty-square-mile region in the area of Anderson Springs, in Northern California, and there is general agreement that the operation of these plants causes a generally low level of seismic activity. Some residents in the Anderson Springs area have asserted property damage claims against those plant operators. Although there is significant uncertainty surrounding the issue of whether the plant operators are liable for property damage from seismic activity, and to date no court has found in favor of any claimants, there can be no assurance that courts will not find operators liable for property damage in the future. If a person were to assert a successful claim against us in the future for significant property damage, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future operating activities will be subject to numerous risks.

The operation of geothermal power projects involves many risks, including the breakdown or failure of power generating equipment, transmission lines or other equipment or processes, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, operator error and catastrophic events including fires, earthquakes or explosions. Production and injection wells can require frequent maintenance or replacement. Corrosion caused by high-temperature and high-salinity geothermal fluids may require the replacement or repair of equipment, vessels or pipelines. New production and injection wells may be required for the maintenance of current operating levels, thereby requiring substantial capital expenditures. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce or eliminate revenues generated by a project or significantly increase the expenses of a project. Appropriate insurance coverage may not be available in the future at commercially reasonable costs or terms and the amounts for which we will be insured may not cover all potential losses.

11


There are some risks for which we do not or cannot carry insurance.

Because our current operations are limited in scope, we carry public liability insurance and directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, but do not currently insure against any other risks. As our operations progress, we intend to acquire additional coverage consistent with our operational needs, but we may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which we cannot insure or cannot insure at sufficient levels or against which we may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons. In particular, coverage is not available for environmental liability or earthquake damage.

Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests arising out of their relationships with other companies.

Several of our directors and officers serve (or may agree to serve) as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other companies. To the extent that other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of participation. If a conflict of interest arises, a director who has a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of participation or terms. From time to time several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. Under the laws of the State of Delaware, our directors would be required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests.

In determining whether or not we would participate in a particular program and what interest we would acquire in it, the directors would primarily consider the degree of risk to which we would be exposed and our financial position at that time.

Risks Relating To The Market For Our Securities

A significant number of shares of our common stock are eligible for sale in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock and could adversely affect our ability to raise needed capital.

As at September 27, 2006, the number of shares in the public float on the TSX Venture Exchange and Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the U.S. is approximately 42,633,000. The market price for our common stock could decrease significantly and our ability to raise capital could be adversely affected by the availability of a large number of shares.

Our officers and directors hold sufficient shares that, acting collectively, they may be able to influence the outcome of matters submitted to the shareholders.

Our officers and directors own in the aggregate approximately 13% of our common stock, on a fully diluted basis. If the officers and directors were to act collectively, assuming they continue to own all of their shares, there is a substantial likelihood that they would be able to influence the election of our directors and the outcome of all corporate actions requiring the approval of the shareholders, such as mergers and acquisitions, in their own interests and to the detriment of the other shareholders.

The possible issuance of substantial amounts of additional shares without shareholder approval may dilute the percentage ownership of our shareholders.

There are 43,698,844 shares of our common stock outstanding and 4,381,128 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding options and warrants. There are 100,000,000 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance. All of our authorized shares in excess of those currently outstanding may be issued without any action or approval by our shareholders and may dilute the percentage ownership of our current shareholders.

12


Because the public market for shares of our common stock is limited, investors may be unable to resell their shares of common stock.

There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States, and investors may be unable to resell their shares of common stock. The development of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers that are able to sell their shares and market makers that are willing to make a market in the shares. Under these circumstances, the market bid and ask prices for the shares may be significantly influenced by the decisions of the market makers to buy or sell the shares for their own account, which may be critical for the establishment and maintenance of a liquid public market in our common stock. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for the shares will develop or be sustained.

The price of our common stock is volatile, which may cause investment losses for our shareholders.

The market for our common stock is highly volatile, having ranged in the last twelve months from a low of Cdn$0.67 to a high of Cdn$1.60 on the TSX Venture Exchange and from a low of $0.52 to a high of $1.49 on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board is subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, quarterly variations in operating and financial results, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to our market or relating to us could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The highly volatile nature of our stock price may cause investment losses for our shareholders.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock.” The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in these securities is provided by the exchange or system). Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:

  • deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market;

  • provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

  • explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

  • provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account; and

  • make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock and investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this prospectus include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results, performance and achievements, whether expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, not to occur or be realized.

THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS

Our Corporate History

U.S. Geothermal Inc. is a Delaware corporation. We were originally incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada, under the name “Mango Resources Ltd.” on September 14, 1987, and traded on the Vancouver Stock Exchange under the symbol “MRH.” On October 7, 1999, we changed our name from “Mango Resources Ltd.” to “Consolidated Mango Resources Ltd.” and our share capital was consolidated on the basis of ten pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share.

On March 13, 2000, we moved to, and began trading on, the TSX Venture Exchange (which is the successor to the Vancouver Stock Exchange as well as some other provincial exchanges) under the name “U.S. Cobalt Inc.” and under the symbol “USC” and continued to trade under that symbol until trading was halted on April 3, 2002, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policy, in anticipation and pending completion of our merger, described below. Upon completion of the merger, we again began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange, under our current symbol, “GTH.”

Historically, we, first as Mango Resources and Consolidated Mango Resources and then as U.S. Cobalt, operated in the resources sector and held interests in various mining properties. Mango conducted initial mineral exploration for base metals (nickel and zinc) of four mineral claims situated in Voisey Bay, Labrador, Canada. Exploration activities in Voisey Bay were unproductive and concluded by the end of 1996, with the mineral claims written off in 1997. Additionally, Mango acquired interests in two gold properties in South East Asia: a property in Kalimantan, Indonesia, in 1996 and a property on the island of Java, Indonesia, in 1997. Neither property yielded significant gold deposits and, due to the adverse gold market during the period, gold exploration activities were also concluded, with activities on the Kalimantan property terminated in 1998 and the Java gold property agreement terminated in July 1999. At that point, Mango had no significant assets and became inactive.

USC Colorado was incorporated on April 27, 1998, to conduct cobalt exploration. In March 2000, we completed a plan of arrangement with USC Colorado, continuing our incorporation from British Columbia to Delaware, under Delaware corporate law, as U.S. Cobalt Inc. A “plan of arrangement” and “continuation” are Canadian law concepts, whereby a Canadian provincial corporation may, practically speaking, become a Delaware (or other U.S. jurisdiction) corporation, similar to a state-to-state reincorporation under U.S. law. As part of the plan of

14


arrangement, our authorized capital was changed from 100,000,000 common shares without par value to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. USC Colorado became our subsidiary, and conducted cobalt exploration activities. We held an exploration lease and conducted mineral exploration on property in Missouri. By March of 2002, we concluded that cobalt exploration project was no longer promising, and determined to refocus our business efforts on renewable, “green” energy projects. The exploration lease of the Missouri property was terminated in July 2002.

U.S. Geothermal Inc., an Idaho corporation (which we refer to as Geo-Idaho to differentiate it from us) was formed in February 2002 to conduct geothermal resource development. On December 3, 2002, Geo-Idaho entered into an agreement with Vulcan Power Company, pursuant to which Geo-Idaho agreed to acquire from Vulcan Power Company all of the real property, personal property and permits that comprised Vulcan Power Company’s interest in the Raft River project. The agreement with Vulcan Power Company provided for the acquisition, in stages, of 100% of Vulcan’s interest in the Raft River project in consideration for shares and warrants of Geo-Idaho and cash payments to, or on behalf of, Vulcan Power Company of up to $600,000. Geo-Idaho also agreed that, as a condition to completing the purchase, and as an owner, of Vulcan’s interest in the Raft River project, it would work to advance the Raft River project by expending at least $200,000 for a work program, which has since been completed. By August 1, 2005, Geo-Idaho had paid Vulcan Power Company $617,000 in securities and cash payments, and had completed the work program, to bring its percentage ownership of Vulcan’s interest in the Raft River project to 100%.

We and Geo-Idaho entered into a merger agreement on February 28, 2002, which was amended and restated on November 30, 2003. The merger closed on December 19, 2003. In accordance with the merger agreement, we acquired Geo-Idaho through the merger of Geo-Idaho with our wholly-owned subsidiary, EverGreen Power Inc., an Idaho corporation formed for that purpose. Geo-Idaho is the surviving corporation and the subsidiary through which we currently conducts some of our operations. As part of this acquisition, we changed our name to U.S. Geothermal Inc. Because the former Geo-Idaho shareholders became our majority holders, the transaction is treated as a “reverse takeover” for accounting purposes.

In connection with the Geo-Idaho merger transaction, we effected a one-for-five reverse stock split of our common stock. All common stock data set forth in this prospectus has been adjusted for and reflects this reverse stock split.

Our operations are conducted through Geo-Idaho. Unless the context requires otherwise, reference to us and our operations include the operations of the parent and the subsidiary companies.

On May 24, 2006, we formed US Geothermal Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to participate in the operation of Phase 1 of the Raft River project, and on August 18, 2005, we formed Raft River Energy I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the joint venture entity established to facilitate the financing of Phase 1 of the Raft River project. On August 9, 2006, Raft River I Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, became a member of Raft River Energy I LLC.

On September 5, 2006, the Company announced that it has leased property for a second geothermal project at Neal Hot Springs in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border. The new property, 8.5 square miles of geothermal energy and surface rights, was acquired from a private party. The property has an identified geothermal resource and was recently made part of U.S. Geothermal’s submittal to Idaho Power Company’s Request For Proposals for electricity produced from geothermal sources.

Business

We are a renewable “green” energy development company. Through our subsidiaries and a joint venture company of which we are a member, we are developing geothermal energy power plants in the Raft River area of Idaho. We own a 100% interest in the Raft River project, a geothermal project encompassing approximately 8.4 square miles of land located near Malta, Idaho.

We intend to develop the Raft River project in two or more phases. For Phase 1 of development at Raft River, we intend to commercialize the existing production wells and energy field by construction and operation of a 13 megawatt binary cycle geothermal power plant (Unit 1) that will provide the energy to be delivered under the existing power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company. We have signed engineering, procurement and construction agreements for Unit 1. Final engineering, equipment procurement and construction is anticipated to take approximately 14 to 16 months, and the initial power plant is anticipated to begin production by the end of the

15


third quarter of 2007. The total Phase 1 construction and development costs are expected to be $39 million for the construction of a binary cycle geothermal power plant capable of producing 13 megawatts of power. We have completed project financing for Phase 1 of the Raft River project, whereby Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., will contribute $34 million in cash and we will contribute $5 million in cash and approximately $1.5 million in property to Raft River Energy I LLC, the Phase 1 project joint venture company.

Phase 2 will involve the construction and operation of two additional 13 megawatt power plants (Units 2 and 3). Strong regional interest in geothermal power has resulted in several utilities entering into discussions with us to purchase the electrical power output from Unit 2 and Unit 3. Subject to drilling confirmation of the availability of sufficient geothermal resource, the output from all three power plants at Raft River could be as much as 39 megawatts.

In addition, we continue to seek and acquire additional property interests with geothermal resources.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal Resource

Geothermal energy is natural heat energy stored within the earth’s crust at accessible depth. In some areas of the earth, economic concentrations of heat energy result from a combination of geological conditions that allow water to penetrate into hot rocks at depth, become heated, and then circulate to a near surface environment. In these settings, commercially viable extraction of the geothermal energy and its conversion to electricity become possible and a “geothermal resource” is present.

There are four major components (or factors) to a geothermal resource:

  1.

Heat source and temperature – The economic viability of a geothermal resource is related to the amount of heat generated. The higher the temperature, the more valuable the geothermal resource is.

     
  2.

Fluid – A geothermal resource is commercially viable only when the system contains water and/or steam as a medium to transfer the heat energy to the surface.

     
  3.

Permeability – The fluid present underground must be able to move. In general, significant porosity and permeability within the rock formation are needed to create a viable reservoir.

     
  4.

Depth – the cost of development increases with depth, as do resource temperatures. Closeness of the reservoir to the surface is therefore a key factor in the economic valuation of a geothermal resource.

Exploration

In order to assess the potential of a geothermal resource, a variety of geological, geochemical and geophysical investigation techniques are employed. For example, subsurface temperatures are measured by drilling, detailed gravity and magnetic measurements yield models of the underground geologic structure, and measurements of the earth’s electrical resistivity assist in defining possible zones of hot water and/or the hydrothermally altered rocks that typically overlie a thermal aquifer.

Production

The energy necessary to operate a geothermal power plant is typically obtained from at least several production wells which are drilled using established technology similar to that employed in the oil and gas industry. Production wells are typically located within one mile of the power plant. Wells are also needed to inject most of the spent and cooled geothermal water back underground.

Geothermal Power Plants

Geothermal power plants fall into two general categories. A direct-steam plant uses steam directly (either from dry steam wells or separated from water under pressure) to drive turbines connected to generators. A binary power plant uses a heat transfer system to transfer the heat energy from hot water (and/or steam) to a working fluid with a lower

16


boiling temperature than water. Binary systems are mostly employed at medium-grade resources (with temperatures below about 180°C). Some projects employ combinations of direct-steam and binary systems. We plan to build a binary power plant at the Raft River project.

Environmental Benefits

Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy with almost zero emissions of greenhouse and acid rain gases. Practically no waste is generated in a binary power plant such as that planned at the Raft River project. After extraction of heat energy from geothermal fluids, all remaining gases and liquids are re-injected into the ground. Geothermal energy projects involve minimum disturbance to the surface and the underground rock formation.

The Raft River project

Location and Property Description of Raft River project

The Raft River project is in south-central Idaho, approximately 55 miles southeast of Burley, the county seat of Cassia County. Burley, population 8,300, is the local agricultural and manufacturing center for the area, providing a full range of light to heavy industrial services.

A commercial airport is located 90 miles to the northeast in Pocatello, Idaho. Pocatello, population 53,000, is a regional center for agriculture, heavy industry (mining, phosphate refining), technology and education with Idaho State University. Malta, a town with a population of 180, is 12 miles north of the project site where basic services, fuel, and groceries are available. Year-round access to the project from Burley is via Interstate Highway 84 south to State Highway 81 south, then east on the Narrows Canyon Road, an improved county road.

The Raft River project Leases

The Raft River project currently consists of ten parcels (generally referred to as the U.S. Geothermal property, the Crank Lease, the Newbold Lease, the Jensen Investments Leases, the Stewart Lease, the Bighorn Mortgage Lease, the Doman Lease, the Griffin Lease, and the Glover Lease) comprising 1743.93 acres of fee land with geothermal rights and 3,652.86 acres of contiguous leased geothermal rights located on private property in Cassia County, Idaho. All parcels are defined by legal subdivision or by metes and bounds survey description. The ten parcels are as follows:

17


The U.S. Geothermal Property

The U.S. Geothermal property is comprised of four separate purchases that total 1743.93 acres: Vulcan’s interest in the Raft River project; the Elena interest; the Dewsnup interest; and the Wilcock interest. The Vulcan interest includes both surface and geothermal rights and consists of two parcels. The first parcel has a total area of approximately 240 acres and three geothermal wells (RRGE-1, RRGP-4 and RRGP-5) are located on this parcel. The second parcel has a total area of approximately 320 acres, and three additional geothermal wells (RRGE-3, RRGI-6 and RRGI-7) are located on this parcel. A fourth well, RRGE-2, although located on the property covered by the Crank lease, was acquired by us as part of our purchase of the Vulcan interest.

The Elena interest is comprised of surface and geothermal rights to approximately 100 acres of property, excluding the oil and gas rights to the property. The Elena interest is contiguous to other interests owned or leased by us.

The Dewsnup interest is comprised of the surface rights to approximately 123.93 acres of property, excluding the oil and gas rights to the property, but including all water and water rights. The Dewsnup interest is contiguous to other properties owned or leased by us. The geothermal rights to these acres are included in the Crank Lease below.

The Wilcock interest is comprised of the surface and oil and gas rights to approximately 960 acres of property, including irrigation water rights for 1,544 acre-feet of water. The Wilcock interest is contiguous to other properties owned or leased by us. The geothermal rights to these acres are included in the Jensen Investments Leases below.

The Crank Lease

The Crank lease covers approximately 160 acres of mineral and geothermal rights under a production steam well (RRGE-2) that is part of the Vulcan interest and was drilled by the Department of Energy during its tenure on the site. The Crank lease also provides a right of ingress and egress.

The Crank lease, the Newbold lease, the Jensen Investments leases, the Bighorn Mortgage lease, the Doman lease, the Griffin lease and the Glover lease have royalties payable under the following terms:

  • Energy produced, saved and used for the generation of electric power, which is then sold by lessee, has a royalty of 10% of the net proceeds.

  • Energy produced, saved and sold by lessee, then used by the purchaser for generation of electric power, has a royalty of 10% of the market value.

  • Energy produced, which is used for any purpose other than the generation of electricity has a royalty of 5% of the gross proceeds.

Stewart Lease

The Stewart lease has production royalties payable under the following terms:

  • energy produced, saved and sold by the Lessee, then used by the purchaser for generation of electric power, has a royalty of 10% of the market value of the electric power;

  • energy produced, saved and used for the generation of electric power, which is then sold by Lessee, has a royalty of 3% of the market value of the electric power; and

  • energy produced, which is used for any purpose other than the generation of electricity has a royalty of 5% of the gross proceeds.

19


No production royalties have been paid to date under any of the leases. All of the leases may be extended indefinitely if production is achieved during the primary term, so long as production is maintained. For each lease other than the Crank Lease (see below), once production is achieved the amounts due annually will be the greater of the production royalty and the minimum payment for the last year of the primary term. All payments under the leases are made annually in advance on the anniversary date of the particular lease. In addition, the following lease and other royalty terms apply to the individual leases:

The Crank Lease

The lease agreement with Janice Crank was originally entered into June 28, 2002, and had a primary term of 5 years. After we provided evidence to the lessor that the well (RRGE2) located on lessor’s property is not owned by the lessor (but instead is included in the Vulcan interest), a new lease was entered into on June 28, 2003, with a four-year initial term. Advance production royalties (on a June to June basis) are payable under the Crank lease as follows:

  • year 1 (paid June 2002 under original lease) – $5,000;

  • year 2 (paid June 2003 under original lease) – $10,000;

  • year 3 (paid June 2004 under renegotiated lease) – $10,000;

  • year 4 (due June 2005) – $10,000; and

  • year 5 (due June 2006) – $10,000.

Payments for years 2002 through 2006 are advances against future production royalties. For later years, during commercial production, there is a minimum annual production royalty of $18,000. If the initial commercial production from the well is delayed past the primary lease term, we will seek an amendment to extend the primary term to the initial commercial plant production date. The minimum amount that will be payable over the course of the leases is $45,000. Maximum amounts payable will depend on production from the property.

The Newbold Lease

We lease this property pursuant to a lease agreement with Jay Newbold dated March 1, 2004. The Newbold lease has a primary term of 10 years (through February 28, 2014) and is extended indefinitely so long as production from the geothermal field is maintained. Lease payments are as follows:

Other Geothermal Resource Leases

On May 24, 2006, we signed a geothermal lease agreement with JR Land and Livestock Inc. for the lease of approximately 5,409 acres of surface, mineral and geothermal rights in Malheur County, Oregon. The primary lease term is for ten years with lease payments of $15,000 at signing, $20,000 in year 2, $25,000 in year 3, and $30,000 for each subsequent year. All lease payments are deemed to be advance royalties. A resource evaluation study will be initiated to quantify the geothermal resource.

Office Lease

We lease general office space for our executive office in Boise at an annual cost of $30,506. The underlying lease is a year-to-year lease that expires on January 31, 2007.

Insurance Coverage

With the construction of the power plant included in Phase 1 of the Raft River project, management has increased the general liability and umbrella liability insurance coverage, as deemed necessary. Additional builders risk insurance will be obtained prior to construction of the power plant.

History of the Raft River project

Much of the historical information set forth below is from the August 2002 report entitled “Technical Report On The Raft River Geothermal Resource, Cassia County Idaho” prepared by GeothermEx Inc., a company that specializes in providing consulting, operational and training services in the exploration, development, assessment and valuation of geothermal energy. A copy of the report is available for review at our principal office, or a copy may be obtained for the cost of shipping and handling on written request. A geothermal resource in the Raft River valley was first identified before 1950 at two shallow agricultural wells that produced boiling water, the Crank well and the Bridge well. Interest in exploring and developing the geothermal resource of the Raft River valley began in the early 1970s, first by the U.S. Geological Survey, which undertook reconnaissance geochemical and geological work in 1972. One of the most significant results of this work was that chemical geothermometry of samples from the two boiling wells indicated a resource temperature of about 300°F.

In 1971, the Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative began preliminary investigations into the possibility of generating electric power from this resource. Supported by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, the predecessor to the U.S. Department of Energy, investigations focused on using binary technology, which was experimental at that time, to generate electric power. In late 1973, the U.S. Geological Survey began an integrated geological, geophysical, geochemical and hydrological analysis of geothermal resources in general, and the Raft River geothermal resource specifically. Drilling activities in the Raft River area included 34 auger holes of 100-foot depth, an offset to the Bridge well (one of the two shallow boiling wells mentioned above), and five core holes (also referred to as intermediate holes) ranging in depth from 250 to 1,423 feet. These core holes were drilled to provide information to test geophysical interpretations of the subsurface structure and lithology, and to provide hydrologic and geologic data on the shallow part of the geothermal system.

The next phase of drilling consisted of seven deep, full-diameter wells: RRGE-1, RRGE-2, RRGE-3, RRGP-4, RRGP-5, RRGI-6 and RRGI-7. These were completed during 1975 to 1978, and were the subject of extensive testing. All of these wells are located on the lands comprising the Raft River project.

22


Well RRGE-1 was located between the Bridge and Crank wells, and targeted the Bridge Zone (an inferred north-northeast-trending fault zone in the area near the boiling shallow wells) at depth. Completed in April 1975, the well was a success, although there was no evidence that it had penetrated a fault. Well RRGE-2, located about 3,000 feet northeast of RRGE-1, also targeted the Bridge Zone, but deeper, in the basement rock. Completed in June 1975, it too was a successful producer, but again, there was no evidence of fault penetration. These two wells were flow tested for several months, and RRGE-2 was injection tested. After the injection testing, well RRGE-2 was deepened by about 500 feet in March 1976.

Further investigation of the postulated Bridge Zone was dropped in 1976; instead, the focus of drilling shifted to evaluating the extent and capacity of the geothermal reservoir. Well RRGE-3, located more than a mile southeast of RRGE-1, was drilled for this purpose and was deliberately side-tracked three times (legs A, B, and C), with modest displacements (< 500 feet) of the bottomhole locations relative to the surface location in all three legs. The purpose of drilling the side-tracks was to determine if additional production could be obtained from a multi-legged well at less cost than drilling an additional well or wells; however, the flow rate from the three legs was lower than that of either of the first two wells. The well was completed in May 1976.

The fourth well was to be an injection well, and was therefore named RRGI-4. Located about 1,800 feet south of well RRGE-1, this well was completed in May 1977. Seven monitoring wells (megawatts-1 through megawatts-7) were drilled to depths ranging from 500 to 1,300 feet in 1978. Injection testing of well RRGI-4 in early 1978 revealed a hydraulic connection to nearby monitoring wells (megawatts-1, USGS-3 and the BLM Offset of the Bridge well). In November 1978, RRGI-4 was deepened and completed as a producer with two legs, and its name was changed to RRGP-4. However, it produced only a small amount of fluid under artesian (or natural pressure) flow.

The next well to be drilled was RRGI-6, located about 3,500 feet E of well RRGE-3. Completed in May 1978, this well was a moderately successful injector. Moving back to the eastern flank of the Jim Sage Mountains, the next well to be drilled was RRGP-5, located about 2,800 feet southwest of RRGE-1. The target for this well was the Bridge Zone or the Horse Well Zone (a second north-northeast-trending structure closer to the mountains). Completed in September 1978, this well produced artesian flow at lower rates than RRGE-1 or RRGE-2.

Finally, well RRGI-7 was completed in August 1978. RRGI-7 is located about 2,000 feet southwest of RRGI-6, and achieved similar results.

In 1979, well RRGP-4 (leg B) was hydraulically fractured; this apparently improved its production rate somewhat. A fracture treatment was also performed on well RRGP-5 in November 1979.

Limited testing was undertaken during or immediately after the drilling of each well; however, these tests were not instrumented and few data are available. All of the production wells were artesian, and self- flow tests of each well were conducted to enable later pump tests to be designed. Pulse tests (a series of tests of each well at different flow rates for relatively short duration, with pressure recovery recorded between each rate step) were also conducted by pumping. Longer-term pump tests were also conducted, using either submersible or line-shaft pumps. Relatively short-term injection tests were conducted. Finally, interference tests, in which one or more wells were produced while pressure data were collected in monitoring wells, were conducted.

Based on the early drilling results from RRGE-1 and RRGE-2, design of a 5 megawatt binary pilot power plant began in 1976 and was completed by the end of 1978. Plant construction began in August 1979 and was completed in September 1981. The plant was operated in September, October and November 1981. Repairs and modifications were then made, and the plant operated again from March 1982 through June 1982. The output of the plant was about 4 megawatts, and the project confirmed the technical feasibility of binary plant operation with a geothermal fluid source. Wells RRGE-1, RRGE-2 and RRGE-3 were used to supply the plant during its periods of operation, while wells RRGI-6 and RRGI-7 were used for injection. Fluid from well RRGP-5 was used to heat the flow lines after long periods of shut-down. After an expenditure of nearly $40,000,000, final reports were written and the entire project was officially shut down at the end of September 1982.

As described above, in the 1970s and early 1980s, the Raft River area, including the Raft River project, was under development by agencies of the United States government, beginning with the Energy Research and Development Administration and concluding with the successor organization to the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Department of Energy. U.S. government-sponsored activities at Raft River concluded in 1982. In 1983, Hydra-Co Enterprises, a firm based in Syracuse, New York, purchased the Raft River geothermal site and associated equipment, and moved the geothermal power plant to the Brady’s Hot Springs geothermal field in Nevada. Hydra-Co sold the property in l993 to Vulcan Power Company. Vulcan Power Company did not perform any work on the property.

Work Completed by Our Company

Since acquisition of our initial interest in the Vulcan interest, additional geothermal leases have been negotiated with landowners adjacent to the Vulcan interest and the leases described above were signed.

GeothermEx Inc. was again hired in May 2002 to prepare the technical report for the Raft River project previously referred to. A detailed review of all technical data available for the site was undertaken and a comprehensive report was completed in August 2002 (a copy is available for review at our principal office, or a copy may be obtained for the cost of shipping and handling on written request). GeothermEx Inc. also estimated energy reserves using a US Geological Survey volumetric reserve estimation method. The reserve calculation estimated the most likely megawatt capacity for the project is 15.6 megawatts per square mile, and that there is a greater than 99% probability that at least 10 megawatts of reserves exist per square mile. The nearly 8 square miles of geothermal rights controlled by us may amount to as much as 120 megawatts if the entire leasehold proves as productive as the area developed to date. Finally, GeothermEx Inc. concluded that if all five existing production wells can be restored to full productivity, it should be possible to supply a 14 to 17 megawatts (net) power plant with the addition of one to three new injection wells. A 30 megawatt (net) plant could be supported by a total of 9 to 10 production wells and 7 to 9 injection wells.

A Department of Energy Geothermal Resource Exploration and Definition II cost-sharing grant was awarded to Geo-Idaho in September 2002. The grant request, “Resource Confirmation Testing and Demonstration of Generating Capacity, Raft River project, Cassia County, Idaho”, covered the Phase 1 well testing program as recommended by GeothermEx Inc.. The total Phase 1 program cost which qualified for the grant is $265,096.00 of which 80% ($212,077) has been reimbursed by Department of Energy to us.

GeothermEx Inc. also reviewed a cash flow model prepared by us for a single 10 megawatt power facility, and, based on its review, estimated the net present value of a project with a 25-year lifetime to be $1,224,000, net of projected capital and based on a selling price of $0.05 per kilo watt hour of electricity. This geothermal energy reserves report is also available for review upon request to us.

In early June, 2003, the wellhead valves on the production and injection valves were overhauled and lubricated in preparation for well investigation operations. A high temperature video camera was lowered down in to each well to conduct a downhole camera investigation and inspection of the integrity of the wellbore and determine, if possible, whether the wells were open. The video inspection revealed that four of the production wells had Baker Packers (devices used to control water flow in a well) with flapper valves installed downhole to restrict artesian flow and that two of the four wells had either debris or flow stingers left in the wells. One well, RRGE-2, could not be entered due to the master valve not closing. The two injection wells and production well RRGE-4 were inspected to full depth and found to be open and in good condition.

24


Due to the discovery of the Baker Packers and the debris, flow testing could not be accomplished without either the removal of the packers or placement of new stingers to open the flapper valves. An updated plan was submitted to the Department of Energy Geothermal Resource Exploration and Definition II program to resolve the packer and debris problems and prepare the wells for flow testing. The amended plan was approved by the Department of Energy on September 15, 2003, with a total budget of $396,521. We will be reimbursed for 80% of the budget (estimated at approximately $317,217). Subsequently, the program was expanded to include an interference test, which helps determine the impact of production pumping on the well field as a whole, and the Geothermal Resource Exploration and Definition II program cost was increased to approximately $700,000 with a plan of phased expenditures.

The well workover program began on April 13, 2004, and by May 14 had successfully removed the debris, placed new stingers, and prepared all of the production wells for flow testing. Flow testing and the downhole investigation (pressure and temperature surveys) began on May 18 and were completed on June 21. Each production well was allowed to self- flow for 24-48 hours while fluid flow, temperature and pressure measurements were collected. Thereafter, data from the well testing program was provided to GeothermEx Inc. for analysis. In October 2004, GeothermEx Inc. issued a report, “Results From The Short-Term Well Testing Program At The Raft River Geothermal Field, Cassia County, Idaho” (a copy is available for review at our principal office). The report concluded that four of the five production wells at Raft River produced commercial amounts of geothermal fluid, and that those four wells could produce a net power capacity (after subtracting the pumping load) of 13.8 megawatts. Further, for development of the project, GeothermEx Inc. estimated that at least one additional injection well would be needed for the project and that a make-up production well will be required after one or two years of operation.

On May 25, 2006, we signed a drilling contract with Union Drilling for the re-work of wells previously drilled for Phase 1 of the Raft River project, and the drilling of additional wells to be included in Phase 2 of the Raft River project. The total cost of Phase 1 and 2 drilling to be completed by Union Drilling is estimated at $13,000,000 and should be completed within six months after drilling is started. The timing of the Phase 1 drilling costs of $5,000,000 and the Phase 2 drilling costs of $8,000,000 are discretionary depending on the availability of cash funds.

Current Activities

Resource Utilization

For Phase 1 of development at Raft River, we will commercialize the existing production wells and energy field by construction of a 13 megawatt geothermal power plant that will provide the energy to be delivered under the power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company.

We solicited bids from interested parties for an engineering, procurement and construction agreement for the project. In response to the solicitation, we received four engineering, procurement and construction and other construction-related bids from which we selected the bid of Ormat Nevada Inc. and signed an engineering, procurement and construction agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. on December 5, 2005, which was amended on April 26, 2006. Bids have been solicited from several engineering firms to provide engineering, procurement and construction services on all remaining aspects of the project not included in the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc.

Final engineering, equipment procurement and construction is anticipated to take approximately 14 to 16 months (assuming no significant or unusual delays from weather, supply issues or similar events), and the initial power plant is anticipated to begin production by the end of the third quarter of 2007.

Financing proposals for the Phase 1 power plant were solicited from nine financing entities. On August 9, 2006, we completed project financing for Phase 1 of the Raft River project.

Engineering, Procurement and Construction and Project Design

We solicited bids from interested parties for an engineering, procurement and construction agreement for the project. In response to the solicitation, we received four engineering, procurement and construction and other construction-related bids from which we selected the bid of Ormat Nevada Inc.

25


On December 5, 2005, we entered into the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. to supply equipment for, and construct portions of, Phase 1 of the Raft River project. Ormat Nevada Inc. is a subsidiary of Ormat Technologies Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed company with over three decades of experience in the design, engineering, manufacturing, construction, and operation of geothermal power plants. The agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. is for a fixed price of $20,200,000 (exclusive of taxes) and provides for performance warranties by Ormat Nevada Inc. The plant design incorporates Ormat Nevada Inc.’s proprietary power generation technology with water cooling for maximum efficiency. The output of the plant should fully meet the power delivery requirements of the first 10 megawatt power sales agreement between us and Idaho Power Company. We retain responsibility for all other aspects of the Phase 1 power plant, including field development, permitting, and the engineering, procurement and construction of the substation, geothermal production and injection wells, and the gathering system.

The terms of the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. also provide us and Ormat Nevada Inc. with the option to build the next two power plants at Raft River on substantially the same terms and conditions, including price, subject to subsequent changes in costs of materials and labor and any cost reduction benefits derived from potential economies of scale.

On April 25, 2006, the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. was amended to allow commencement of construction in advance of project financing for Phase 1 of the Raft River project. On April 26, 2006, in connection with the amendment, we issued a notice to proceed to Ormat Nevada Inc. for the binary cycle geothermal power plant that is designed to deliver 10 megawatt monthly average electrical power to Idaho Power Company under a 20-year term power purchase agreement. The notice to proceed commissions Ormat Nevada Inc. to proceed immediately with final detailed engineering and an initial payment of $2,020,000 allows Ormat Nevada Inc. to proceed with ordering of equipment and material components for the power plant with significant manufacturing lead times. The engineering, procurement and construction schedule is intended to provide first synchronization of the new power plant in September 2007 with full commercial operations no later than November 2007. Under the amendment to the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc., Ormat Nevada Inc. commits to a guaranteed final completion date of November 25, 2007 on the Phase 1 power plant. The agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc. includes a performance bonus if the plant is synchronized by July 2007 and includes a guarantee by Ormat Nevada Inc. for the total output capacity of the plant.

On May 22, 2006, we signed a $2,600,000 construction contract with Industrial Builders for completion of the construction of the pipelines connecting the wells at Raft River with the Phase 1 power plant facility to be constructed by Ormat Nevada Inc.

Bids have been solicited from several engineering firms to provide engineering, procurement and construction services on all remaining aspects of the project not included in the agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc.

Power Purchase Agreement

Under federal and state law, the Phase 1 power plant would be considered a “qualifying facility.” A qualifying facility is an electrical power generating plant (as defined by the Federal Regulatory Energy Commission) that qualifies under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, utility companies are required to purchase at a negotiated rate up to 80 megawatt facilities from independent power producers which are qualifying facilities. Under Idaho law, if a qualifying facility does not exceed 10 megawatts, the power purchase contract will be at the “avoided cost” rate – that is, the rate calculated based on the full cost of power as if the utility were to build a 230 megawatt combined cycle, natural gas fired power plant. On December 29, 2004, we executed a power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company for a 10 megawatt power project. Idaho Power Company is a regulated utility which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Idacorp, Inc., an energy and technology holding company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The power purchase agreement forms the basis for the economic development of Phase 1 of the Raft River project and allows for the arrangement of a financing package to construct the facilities, including the power plant. The power purchase agreement is for the electrical output from Phase 1 of the Raft River project and has a 20-year term with a scheduled operations commencement date of August 1, 2007. The electricity price was determined by the Idaho Public Utility Commission under Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, using the avoided cost rate. Because the power purchase agreement is pursuant to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, the total output of the plant must be limited to a maximum of 10 megawatt average each month. In order to protect Idaho Power Company from unanticipated material fluctuations in supply, the power purchase agreement requires us to forecast our monthly electrical output in advance (12 months in advance initially, and on a rolling three-month basis thereafter), and if the actual plant output is below 90% or above 110% of the forecasted output, reduced power

26


prices apply. Because the forecasts are done every three months, we anticipate that we will generally be able to forecast appropriately.

On May 8, 2006, Idaho Power Company confirmed that we will be allowed to bid the Phase 1 Raft River project into Idaho Power Company’s recently issued geothermal “Request for Proposal for Geothermal Power”. If Idaho Power Company selects us as a successful bidder, we expect that, under a revised power purchase agreement, the Phase 1 power plant will be allowed to sell its full output capacity of 13 megawatt annual average, instead of being capped at 10 megawatt monthly average, as mandated under the current power purchase agreement. This 30% increase in plant output would be achieved with no additional capital investment over that required for 10 megawatts, and is expected to decrease the operating cost per kilowatt-hour. Management is uncertain if quarterly production forecasts will be needed under a full output contract.

On May 5, 2005, we signed two additional power purchase agreements with Idaho Power Company for the Phase 2 power plants (Units 2 and 3). Each power purchase agreement was for 10 megawatts, had a term of 20 years, with annually adjusted electric power prices based on the avoided cost method. With carbon regulation widely anticipated to have a negative impact on the cost of power sourced from coal, and limited opportunities to purchase baseload geothermal power, utilities across the western United States have been eager to discuss power purchases from the Raft River geothermal resource. As a result of the increased interest, we have elected to withdraw our Phase 2 (Units 2 and 3) Idaho Power Company power purchase agreements, without submitting them to the Idaho Public Utility Commission for approval in order to pursue larger capacity power purchase agreements with other utilities. On June 16, 2006, with the concurrence of Idaho Power Company, the two 10 megawatt contracts that were not submitted to the Idaho Public Utility Commission were voided, without further obligation on either party. We believe that we will be able to execute power purchase agreements for 13 megawatts, and that the additional megawatts in each plant will provide greater return for our shareholders.

On February 22, 2006, we received and signed a letter of intent from Eugene Water and Electric Board, of Eugene, Oregon, for Eugene Water and Electric Board’s purchase of the full 13 megawatt electrical output from the second planned power plant of Phase 2 (Unit 2), and we are currently negotiating a draft power purchase agreement with Eugene Water and Electric Board and expect to finalize it by October 2006. Upon execution of the Eugene Water and Electric Board power purchase agreement, and if Unit 1 is successful in the Idaho Power Company Request for Proposal, then the total output from Units 1 and 2 of the Raft River power plants will be 26 megawatts from two plants, instead of the originally planned 30 megawatts from three plants, resulting in substantial capital and operating cost savings through improved economies of scale.

Additionally, strong regional interest in geothermal power has resulted in several utilities from California to Washington entering into discussions with us to purchase the electrical power output from the third planned power plant (Unit 3). Subject to drilling confirmation of the availability of sufficient geothermal resource, the output from all three power plants at Raft River could be 39 megawatts, instead of the maximum 30 megawatts under the previous power purchase agreement provisions with Idaho Power Company.

We will seek additional power purchase agreements for future phases, which may involve drilling new wells and determining the production capacity of those wells for additional plant construction. At this time it is not possible to estimate if or when future wells will be drilled. Future phases may involve additional power purchase agreement’s with Idaho Power Company or other utilities in the service area and may or may not include terms similar to the Phase 1 power purchase agreement.

Environmental Credits

As a “green” power producer, environmental-related credits, such as renewable energy credits or carbon credits, may become available for sale to power companies (to allow them to meet their “green” power requirements) or to businesses which produce carbon based pollution. If available, these credits will belong exclusively to us, and may provide an additional source of revenue.

On July 29, 2006, we signed a $4.6 million renewable energy credits purchase and sales agreement with Holy Cross Energy, a Colorado cooperative electric association. Holy Cross Energy will purchase the renewable energy credits associated with Phase 1 power production from 2008 to 2017. We retain the renewable energy credits associated with power production from Phase 1 after 2017. We expect to receive a majority of the annual revenue from the ten-

27


year renewable energy credits sales arrangement with Holy Cross Energy which is estimated to be approximately $0.4 million per year, for the first four years after the project is placed in service.

Transmission and Interconnection

On June 24, 2005, we signed a transmission agreement with the Department of Energy’s Bonneville Power Administration - Transmission Business Line for firm, point-to-point power transmission with the Transmission Business Line for up to 12 megawatts of electrical transmission capacity for an initial term of 30 years, beginning June 1, 2006. The agreement is intended to provide transmission capability in support of the Phase 1 power plant. Charges under the transmission agreement are based on federal tariff; the non-refundable annual reservation fee for the first year is $12,336, which represents an estimation of likely annual charges under the agreement, without taking into account potential “short distance” discounts.

In addition to the transmission agreement for Phase 1 of the Raft River project, we have reserved capacity through December 1, 2010, for two plants of up to 12 megawatts each, for an additional 24 megawatts of transmission capacity with the Transmission Business Line to support additional power purchase agreements for future Phases, and has paid fees of $24,672 for the first year. The term of service will be increased once the projects are further along in the development process. In addition, if the Transmission Business Line receives a firm request from a third party for transmission capacity for the period after December 1, 2010 (assuming we have not already extended the term), we will have the first right to match the term proposed by the third party.

On September 8, 2005, the Raft River Rural Electric Co-op received an amended right-of-way from the Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management that allows the construction upgrade of an existing transmission line to provide the interconnect for the Raft River project to the Raft River Rural Electric Co-op Bridge substation. On March 9, 2006, we signed the Interconnection and Wheeling Agreement with Raft River Rural Electric Co-op which allows electricity generated at the Phase 1 power plant to be delivered through Raft River Rural Electric Co-op transmission lines and delivered into the Bonneville Power Administration substation for delivery to Idaho Power Company. On May 16, 2006, we signed a $225,000 construction contract with Raft River Rural Electric Co-op for construction of the well distribution lines for delivery of electricity from the power plant to the well heads for the Phase 1 power plant.

Permitting

In preparation for project financing, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was completed by an independent contractor on October 21, 2005. The Phase 1 assessment identified two underground storage tanks, which have since been removed. An American Land Title Association land title survey that covers all lands owned or leased by us has been completed and Land America Commercial Services is preparing an American Land Title Association extended title insurance policy for the project, which we anticipate acquiring for the benefit of our project financing lenders.

A Conditional Use Permit for the first two power plants was issued by the Cassia County Planning and Zoning Commission on April 21, 2005. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality issued the Air Quality Permit to Construct on May 26, 2006. The Department of Army Corps of Engineers and the Idaho Department of Water Resources, after we submitted a joint application to them, have determined that the Raft River project does not need to obtain a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit for the project as it is currently designed. Various other county, state and federal permits will be required for the project, including a Cassia County Building Permit.

A voluntary Application for Wastewater Reuse Permit was submitted to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality on June 14, 2006. The Reuse permit will allow the land application of the non-contact cooling water from the power plant cooling towers.

During the Department of Energy’s development of the Raft River project in the early 1980’s, a multi-year survey of land, plant, animal, archeological, weather, and human health survey was undertaken. The Department of Energy published an extensive report in 1982. We contacted the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service regarding any plants or animals in the region that are listed as threatened or endangered species, and received a reply stating that there are no issues identified for the project that require consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.

28


The Transmission Business Line has issued a categorical exclusion for modification of the existing substation from the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. This exclusion fulfills federal environmental permitting requirements for the substation work.

Project Financing.

The total Phase 1 construction and development costs are expected to be $39 million for the construction of a binary cycle geothermal power project capable of producing 13 megawatts of power. Financing proposals for the Phase 1 power plant were solicited from nine financing entities.

On August 9, 2006, we completed project financing for Phase 1 of the Raft River project. In connection with the project financing, we entered into (i) the Membership Admission Agreement, dated August 9, 2006, among Raft River Energy I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, us and Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Raft River Energy I LLC, dated as of August 9, 2006, among Raft River Energy I LLC, Raft River I Holdings, LLC and us, and (iii) the Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2006, between Raft River Energy I LLC and U.S. Geothermal Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., will contribute $34 million in cash and we will contribute $5 million in cash and approximately $1.5 million in property to Raft River Energy I LLC, the Phase 1 project joint venture company.

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, we will provide operating and management services to Raft River Energy I LLC. We expect to receive annual cash distributions up to $1.5 million for the first four project years pursuant to the Management Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. The cash distributions made to us will come from three sources: royalty income from our energy leases to Raft River Energy I LLC, a management fee for providing operating and maintenance services, and income-related cash distributions from our investment in Raft River Energy I LLC. After the first four years, we will receive a nominal percentage of the distributable Raft River Energy I LLC cash flow until specified rates of return are achieved, at which time we will receive approximately half of the distributable cash flow. If we develop the economic equivalent of 30 megawatts of power sales during the initial 20-year term of the power purchase agreement then, at the end of year 20, our share of the distributable cash flow increases to a significant majority of cash flow.

Potential Acquisitions

We intend to continue our growth through the acquisition of ownership or leasehold interests in properties that we believe will add to the value of our geothermal resources, and through possible mergers with or acquisitions of operating power plants and advanced geothermal or other renewable energy properties. No specific transactions are currently contemplated.

Competition

Although the market for different forms of energy is large and dominated by very powerful players, we perceive our industrial competition to be independent power producers, and in particular those producers who provide “green” renewable power. Our definition of green power is electricity derived from a source that does not pollute the air, water or earth. Sources of green power, in addition to geothermal, include wind, solar, biomass and run-of-the river hydroelectric. A number of states have instituted renewable portfolio standards that require utilities to purchase a minimum percentage of their power from renewable sources. For example, renewable portfolio standards statutes in California and Nevada require 20% renewable, and according to the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy department, utilities in 34 states nationwide are providing their customers with the opportunity to purchase green, renewable power through premium pricing programs. As a result, we believe green power is a niche sub-market, in which many power purchasers are increasing or committing to increase their investments. Accordingly, the conventional energy producers do not provide direct competition.

In the Pacific Northwest there are currently no operating geothermal facilities. There exist a number of wind farms, as well as biomass and run-of-the river hydroelectric facilities. However, we believe that the combination of greater reliability and baseload generation from geothermal, access to infrastructure for deliverability, and a low “full life” cost will allow us to compete successfully for long term power purchase agreements.

Governmental Approvals and Regulation

We are subject to both federal and state regulation in respect of the production, sale and distribution of electricity. Federal legislation includes The Public Utilities Act of 1935 (which has two titles: The Public Utility Holding Company Act and the Federal Power Act), as well as the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Because we are defined as an independent power producer under the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission , the relevant aspects of federal legislation are that our electrical generating facilities qualify under the policy set forth under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 which encourages alternative energy sources such as geothermal, wind, biomass, solar and cogeneration. Additionally, under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, we are currently exempt from The Public Utility Holding Company Act legislation regulating rates for electricity on the wholesale level.

The State of Idaho also regulates electricity through the Idaho Public Utility Commission. Regulated utilities have the exclusive right to distribute and sell electricity within their service area. They may purchase electricity in the wholesale market from independent producers like us. The Idaho Public Utility Commission, in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, has the authority to set the rules and regulations governing the sale of electricity generated from alternative energy sources. Regulated utilities are required to purchase electricity on an avoided cost basis from qualifying facilities.

Currently, the Idaho Public Utility Commission defines this type of facility as having an average output capacity of 10 megawatts per month and a contract term of up to 20 years. All Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 contracts in Idaho are subject to the approval of the Idaho Public Utility Commission. We are not required to market any of the electricity that we may generate at Raft River to Idaho utilities; under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, we can transmit and sell our electricity in another state. Nonetheless, we initially signed three 10 megawatt power purchase agreements with the Idaho Power Company.

On May 8, 2006, Idaho Power Company confirmed that we would be allowed to bid Phase 1 of the Raft River project into the recently issued Idaho Power Company geothermal “Request for Proposal for Geothermal Power”. If Idaho Power Company selects us as a successful bidder, we expect that under a new power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company, which would replace the current power purchase agreement, the Phase 1 power plant will be allowed to sell its full output capacity of up to 13 megawatt annual average, instead of being capped at 10 average megawatt per month as mandated under the current power purchase agreement. This 30% increase in plant output would be achieved with no additional capital investment and is expected to decrease the operating cost per kilowatt-hour.

With carbon regulation widely anticipated to increase the cost of power sourced from coal, and limited opportunities to purchase baseload geothermal power, we have found that utilities across the western United States have been eager to discuss power purchases from our Raft River geothermal resource. As a result of the increased interest, we elected to withdraw our Phase 2 (Unit 2 and Unit 3) Idaho Power Company power purchase agreements without submitting them to the Idaho Public Utility Commission for approval in order to pursue larger capacity power purchase agreements with other utilities. With the concurrence of Idaho Power Company, the Unit 2 and Unit 3 10 megawatt contracts have been voided without further obligation on either party.

We have signed a letter of intent with the Eugene Water and Electric Board, from Eugene, Oregon which provides for the Eugene Water and Electric Board to purchase the full 13 megawatt electrical output of Unit 2. The parties have exchanged a draft power purchase agreement and intend to complete it by October 2006. Upon execution of the Eugene Water and Electric Board power purchase agreement, and if Unit 1 is successful in the Idaho Power Company Request for Proposal, then the total output from the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Raft River power plants will be 26 megawatts from two plants, instead of the originally planned 30 megawatts from three plants, resulting in substantial capital and operating cost savings through improved economy of scale.

In addition, the strong regional interest in geothermal power has resulted in several utilities from California to Washington entering into discussions with us to purchase the electrical power output of Unit 3. Subject to drilling confirmation of sufficient geothermal resource, the power plant output from three units at Raft River would be 39 megawatts, instead of the maximum 30megawatts under the previous Idaho Power Company power purchase agreement provisions.

We will require the approval of various federal, state and local authorities for construction of a geothermal facility at Raft River. These authorities include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Idaho

30


Department of Environmental Quality, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Idaho Bureau of Hazardous Materials, Idaho State Historical Society, Cassia County and the Southern Idaho Regional Solid Waste District. We have retained Kleinfelder Inc. of Boise, Idaho, an independent environmental and regulatory consultant, to advise us as to the siting and design for purpose of governmental approvals. Additionally, David Evans & Associates of Boise, Idaho is providing consulting and engineering services for transmission and interconnection issues and the preparation of the application for a conditional use permit. Centra Consulting, Inc. of Boise, Idaho has been retained to assist with State of Idaho air quality and cooling water reuse permitting.

Environmental Compliance

As our design and permitting activities have progressed, we have further refined and clarified the environmental issues for which we will have to demonstrate compliance in the construction and operation of a geothermal facility at Raft River. The relevant legislation includes Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, Rivers and Harbors Act, National Historic Preservation Act, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Idaho Solid Waste Facilities Act and the IDAPA Drilling for Geothermal Resource Rules. Please see discussion above under the section entitled “Current Activities – Permitting”.

We believe that a geothermal facility can be designed, constructed and placed into operation at Raft River that will meet environmental compliance requirements. At this time, we do not believe that the cost of compliance at the federal, state and local levels will be significant.

Plant and Equipment

Other than minor office equipment located in our executive office, all of our plant and equipment is located at the Raft River project site. Infrastructure on the site includes five geothermal production wells, two injection wells, wellheads, lined drilling sumps, roads, and security fencing. The plant site has a 50' x 95' office/control room building, a 50' x 100' x 30' office/shop maintenance building with a 15-ton overhead crane, and a 300,000 gallon water tank with a 40'x 30' pump house. At the RRGE-1 well site, there is a 40'x 40' x 20' warehouse building and a 50'x 100' office building. Road access and line power is available at all production and injection well sites. A 138 kV transmission line with a designed capacity of 120 megawatts runs along the northern boundary of the property. The Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative owns the transmission line, and has leased the transmission capacity to the Bonneville Power Administration. We have signed an agreement with the Transmission Business Line with respect to point-to-point transmission. Please see discussion above under the section entitled “Current Activities –Transmission and Interconnection”.

We have sub-leased general office space for our executive office in Boise from Daniel J. Kunz, our Chief Executive Officer, for the first nine months of the year, at an annual cost of $30,506. Effective January 1, 2006, the office space is leased direct from the owner of the property. The underlying lease is a year-to-year lease that expires on January 31, 2007.

Reports to Security holders

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those reporting requirements include quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and an annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-QSB and 10-KSB for so long as we remain a “small business issuer” under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and interim reports on Form 8-K. We are also subject to reporting requirements imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange and Canadian federal and provincial laws, which require the company to provide annual reports to our securityholders.

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK

Our shares of common stock are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “GTH” and on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “UGTH”.

The first trades of our shares on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board started June 8, 2005, and trading has been very limited since then; there can be no assurance that a viable and active trading market will develop. There can be no assurance that even if a market is developed for our shares, there will be a sufficient market so that holders of common shares will be able to sell their shares, or with respect to any price at which holders may be able to sell their

31


shares. Future trading prices of our common shares will depend on many factors, including, among others, our operating results and the market for similar securities.

Phase 1 Financing for Raft River Project

On August 9, 2006, we completed project financing for the estimated $39 million Phase 1 construction and development costs for the 13 megawatt binary cycle geothermal power plant for the Raft River project. In connection with the project financing, we entered into (i) the Membership Admission Agreement, dated August 9, 2006, among Raft River Energy I LLC, us and Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Raft River Energy I LLC, dated as of August 9, 2006, among Raft River Energy I LLC, Raft River I Holdings, LLC and us, and (iii) the Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2006, between Raft River Energy I LLC and U.S. Geothermal Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Raft River I Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., will contribute $34 million in cash and we will contribute $5 million in cash and approximately $1.5 million in property to Raft River Energy I LLC, the Phase 1 project joint venture company. The property being transferred consists of the power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company, the engineering, construction and procurement agreement with Ormat Nevada Inc., the transmission agreement with Bonneville Power Administration - Transmission Business Line, the drilling contract with Union Drilling, as well as various leases, permits, reports and wells.

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, we will provide operating and management services to Raft River Energy I LLC. We expect to receive annual cash distributions up to $1.5 million for the first four project years pursuant to the Management Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. The cash distributions made to us will come from three sources: royalty income from our energy leases to Raft River Energy I LLC, a management fee for providing operating and maintenance services, and income-related cash distributions from our investment in Raft River Energy I LLC. After the first four years, we will receive a nominal percentage of the distributable Raft River Energy I LLC cash flow until specified rates of return are achieved, at which time we will receive approximately half of the distributable cash flow. If we develop the economic equivalent of 30 megawatts of power sales during the initial 20-year term of the power purchase agreement then, at the end of year 20, our share of the distributable cash flow increases to a significant majority of cash flow.

Goldman Sachs & Co., an affiliate of Raft River I Holdings, LLC, holds approximately 8% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The securities covered by this prospectus are shares of our common stock that have been issued and shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of warrants and options to purchase shares of our common stock.

The number of shares of common stock that may be actually sold by the selling securityholders will be determined by these security holders. We are registering for the selling securityholders named herein an aggregate of 30,790,765 shares of common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, other than the exercise price to be received upon exercise, if any, of the options. We do not know if or when any or how many of the options may be exercised. We will pay substantially all of the expenses related to the registration of the securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders and their successors, which includes their donees, pledges, transferees and successors-in-interest, may sell the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may sell the shares at fixed prices that may change, market prices at the time of sale, prices related to market prices at the time of sale, or negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may sell the shares in one or more transactions:

  • in the open market;
  • on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board and on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other market or exchange on which the shares of common stock are then traded;
  • in privately negotiated transactions;
  • in an underwritten offering;
  • combination of such methods or any other legally available means.

The selling shareholders may sell the shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the securities. These discounts, concessions or commissions may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. Any broker-dealer may act as a broker-dealer on behalf of a selling shareholder in connection with the offering of the shares.

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the securities pursuant to this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that any selling shareholder will not transfer, devise or gift the securities by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than under this prospectus. The securities may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

The selling shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result, any profits on the sale of the securities by selling shareholders and any discounts or commissions received by any broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Selling shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If the selling shareholders were deemed to be underwriters, the selling shareholders may be subject to statutory liabilities of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the securities are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.

41


In connection with the sales of the securities, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging their positions, sell the securities short and deliver the securities to close out short positions, loan or pledge securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions that in turn may sell the securities, enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of the securities, which the broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to the prospectus, or enter into transactions in which a broker-dealer makes purchases as a principal for resale for its own account or through other types of transactions.

The selling shareholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling shareholders or borrowed from the selling shareholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from the selling shareholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in these sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment.

The selling security shareholders and any other person participating in the sale of securities will be subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The rules under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling shareholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the securities by the selling shareholders. The only selling shareholders which are “broker-dealers” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are Toll Cross Securities, Dundee Securities Corporation and Fraser Mackenzie Limited which received their securities as compensation for investment banking services. Toll Cross Investments, Inc. and Haworth Partners are affiliates of Toll Cross Securities. Each of Toll Cross Investments, Inc., Haworth Partners, Dundee Securities Corporation and Fraser Mackenzie Limited represented at the time of purchase of their securities that they were purchasing for investment and not for resale, and had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to purchase the securities they purchased.

We will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to this registration of securities other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker, dealer, agent or underwriter that participates in transactions involving sales of the securities against some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION

Twelve Month Plan of Operation

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months includes the following elements:

(1)

complete the conditions precedent to the financing drawdown to construct the Phase 1 power plant;

   
(2)

finalize construction agreements regarding the engineering, procurement and construction for aspects of the project not included under the agreements with Ormat Nevada Inc., Bonneville Power Administration, Industrial Builders, and Raft River Rural Electric Co-op;

   
(3)

continue permitting activities;

   
(4)

continue project construction for the first power plant under Phase 1;

   
(5)

finalize replacement Raft River Phase 2 power purchase agreements;

   
(6)

drill Raft River Phase 2 production and injection wells;

   
(7)

evaluate the geothermal resource potential of the new Oregon property; and

   
(8)

continue to seek and acquire additional geothermal resource properties and/or operations.

As part of its enhanced power sales plan, U.S. Geothermal submitted its response to Idaho Power’s request for proposals for the supply of geothermal power on August 11, 2006. Part of the company’s response to Idaho Power is a proposal to convert the existing 10MW monthly average contract to a full output contract that would allow an annual average 13MWs of power sales.

On August 10, 2006, the $34 million project finance was announced for Phase One of the Raft River development. The project finance structure is based on a partnership. As reported in U.S. Geothermal’s recently filed 8K and material change report, which are posted on both EDGAR and SEDAR, Raft River Holdings LLC (“RRH”) is an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, and is U.S. Geothermal’s investment partner in Raft River Energy I LLC (“RREI”), the entity formed to own, construct and operate Phase One.

U.S. Geothermal has made a $5 million dollar cash contribution and is transferring to RREI the existing seven production and injection wells, and certain geothermal rights and leases covering 1,800 acres from the 5,397 total acres of geothermal rights currently held. RRH will make capital contributions totaling $34 million in accord with the construction payment schedule.

The partnership is able to consider increased development within the Phase One area of interest that may have a potential power capacity of 40MWs or more based on GeothermEx’s independent assessment of a 50 percent probability that 15.6 MWs per square mile exists at Raft River. The partnership does not restrict further development of the Company’s geothermal rights and allows for the development of the planned Phase Two power plants.

The approximately $1.7 million per year generated by the important Federal Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credits of $19 per megawatt-hour for every megawatt-hour of energy produced over the next 10 years will be claimed by RRH.

Ormat Nevada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Industries (NYSE: ORA), commenced work on April 26, 2006,

44


under the terms of a $20.2 million engineering procurement and construction contract signed in December 2005. Now in the sixth month of the 21-month contract, Ormat is continuing the detailed engineering and design, and has ordered major equipment including condensers, pumps, and a generator. Ormat will manufacture other critical equipment, including heat exchangers and the turbines. The project is on schedule and is expected to deliver its first power in September 2007, with commercial production in October 2007.

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality issued the air quality Permit To Construct on May 26, 2006.

A $2.6 million contract was signed with Industrial Builders of Ontario, Oregon to construct the geothermal pipeline gathering and distribution system which will connect the production and injection wells with the power plant. The pipeline construction work is nearly 30 percent complete and is divided into two parts: 24-inch and 16-inch diameter injection pipelines, and 10-inch and 12-inch diameter production pipelines. Approximately 50 percent of the pipeline supports and 1,400-feet of 24-inch injection pipeline pipe are installed.

A $225,000 contract was recently signed with Raft River Rural Electrical Co-op to build the production well power distribution lines for delivery of electricity from the power plant to the well heads. Work has commenced on the distribution system.

A well improvement drilling contract was signed on May 25, 2006 with Union Drilling. The drill rig was mobilized to the site August 15, 2006 and started the improvement program by deepening the two existing injection wells. The drill rig will then be moved to two of the existing production wells and drill an additional production leg in each well to enhance production and reduce the number of total wells required to feed the Phase One power plant. The well improvement drilling program for Phase One, which will provide the required injection and production capacity for Unit 1, is expected to last 90 days.

The drill rig will then be moved the Phase 2 area and begin drilling the first new production well in over 25 years at Raft River.

U.S. Geothermal has purchased two new properties with ground water rights that will provide cooling water to the Phase One and Phase Two power plants and surface access for pipelines and project facilities. The two land parcels total 1,083 acres and have irrigation water rights for 1,904 acre-feet of water. A third purchase of water rights only was also completed for an additional 544 acre-feet of ground water. The Company will lease the amount of cooling water required for Phase One from these water rights to RREI. A transfer of the water rights required for Phase One from irrigation use to industrial use is pending final approval from the Idaho Department of Water Resources.

On September 5, 2006, the Company announced that it has leased property for a second geothermal project at Neal Hot Springs in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border. The new property, 8.5 square miles of geothermal energy and surface rights, was acquired from a private party. The property has an identified geothermal resource and was recently made part of U.S. Geothermal’s submittal to Idaho Power Company’s Request For Proposals for electricity produced from geothermal sources.

Teplow Geologic (“Teplow”), an independent geothermal consulting firm, recently conducted a geological reconnaissance and preliminary assessment of the project and found that “a commercially viable geothermal resource was discovered at Neal Hot Springs in l979”. Thermochem, Inc, an independent consulting firm, analyzed geothermal fluid samples recently collected from the area by Teplow. Using the chalcedony geothermometer method, a probable reservoir temperature of 311ºF to 320ºF is indicated, while a distal source temperature of 347ºF to 356ºF is indicated by the cation geothermometer.

A geophysical and geological mapping program has been proposed by Teplow to help determine the overall extent of the geothermal reservoir. A high-permeability production zone has been encountered by previous exploration drilling at a depth of 2680 feet and thus represents a confirmed production-drilling target. After completion of the mapping program, it is anticipated that production wells can be sited and drilled to intersect the geothermal reservoir at depths ranging from 2,500 to 4,700 feet. This well drilling would be followed by flow testing to confirm the production sustainability of the reservoir.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Three months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005

Our working capital position of $16,692,680 at June 30, 2006 is adequate to fund our activities to March 31, 2008. Through March 31, 2008, we anticipate our staffing, professional services and office expenditures will average approximately $129,500 per month, or approximately $2,719,500. During the same period, Raft River development activities, including additional well drilling and testing, permitting, engineering, financing and the acquisition of transmission agreements are anticipated to cost approximately $8,800,000.

Further Raft River development and construction projects will not be initiated unless and until additional debt or equity financing is obtained. Consistent with Management’s Plan of Operations on page 44, we have obtained equity financing based on the strength of the Phase 1 power purchase agreement.

Net cash provided by equity financing activities was $19,983,281 in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Financing activities totaled $13,008 in the same period in 2005. Acquisition and development expenditures were $3,285,246 for the 2006 period as compared to $1,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2005. In the period ended June 30, 2006, $277,866 was utilized in operations, as compared to $455,872 in the same period in 2005. Working capital as at June 30, 2006 was $16,692,680 as compared to $1,332,290 on June 30, 2005. Cash resources were $17,172,400 at June 30, 2006 and unpaid current liabilities were $523,242. At June 30, 2005, cash resources were $1,380,742 and unpaid current liabilities were $89,602.

Critical Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of our management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits with maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired.

Going Concern

Based on our projected spending over the next 12 months and the $20,134,260 cash received from the private placement completed April 3, 2006, our auditors have removed the going concern qualification from our financial statements. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, and financing for construction of the Phase 1 power plant. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,605,021 for the period from February 26, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2006, and have no revenue from operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Costs of acquisition of geothermal properties are capitalized on an area-of-interest basis. Amortization of these costs will be on a unit-of-production basis, based on estimated proven geothermal reserves should these reserves be found. If an area of interest is abandoned, the costs thereof are charged to income in the year of abandonment.

We expense all costs related to the development of geothermal reserves prior to the establishment of proven and profitable reserves. Other equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of other equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis at an annual rate of 30%.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate the federal and state income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as derivative instruments, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and some accrued liabilities for tax and accounting purposes. These differences and the net operating loss carry forwards result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess, using all available positive and negative evidence, the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. If we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, we must include an expense or reduction of an expense within the tax provisions in the consolidated statement of operations.

Under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, an enterprise must use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists (a) the more positive evidence is necessary and (b) the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation

47


allowance is not needed for some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset. Among the more significant types of evidence that we consider are:

  • taxable income projections in future years;

  • whether the carry forward period is so brief that it would limit realization of tax benefits;

  • future sales and operating cost projections that will produce more than enough taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset based on existing sales prices and cost structures; and

  • our earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the future deductible amount coupled with the evidence indicating that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition.

Since we have no earnings history to determine the likelihood of realizing the benefits of the deferred tax asset, we are unable to determine our ability to realize net operating loss carry forwards prior to their expiration. Accordingly, we are required to provide a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.

The significant components of the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were as follows:

  June 30, 2006 March 31, 2006
Net operating loss carryforward 5,567,000 5,196,000
Deferred tax asset 1,893,000 1,767,000
Less valuation allowance for tax asset -1,893,000 -1,767,000
Net deferred tax asset - -

At June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,567,000 and $5,196,000 respectively, which expire in the years 2023 through 2026. The change in the allowance account from March 31, 2006 to June 30, 2006 was $126,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable and permits an entity to choose either the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” (hereinafter SFAS No. 154) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes in accounting principle and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period financial statements and is effective for

48


fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS

On July 15, 2005, we asked for and received the resignation of Morgan & Company, CA, our independent accountant who was previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements. Based on the recommendation of our audit committee, our board of directors determined that it was in its best interests to engage independent accountants who are more familiar with United States generally accepted accounting principles and with requirements for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and who are located closer to our principal business office.

Morgan & Company’s report on our financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to audit scope, or accounting principles, but it did contain a modification as to uncertainty.

There were no disagreements between us and Morgan & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, for the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of dismissal. Morgan & Company has not advised us that (i) internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist; or (ii) information has come to the attention of Morgan & Company which made Morgan & Company unwilling to rely on management’s representations, or unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; or (iii) the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly, or that information had come to the attention of Morgan & Company that will, or if further investigated might, materially impact the fairness or reliability of any previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements.

Effective July 15, 2005, we engaged Williams & Webster, P.S., certified public accountants, as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements. In addition, also effective July 15, 2005, we engaged HEIN & Associates LLP as accounting advisor/consultant for accounting, tax and internal control issues that may raise independence concerns for Williams & Webster, P.S., and/or the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prior to their engagement, we did not consult with either of these firms with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written or oral advise with respect to such matters was provided by either firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of U.S. Geothermal Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from February 26, 2002 (inception) through March 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of U.S. Geothermal Inc. as of March 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 16, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 U.S. Geothermal Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from February 26, 2002 (inception) through March 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

U.S. GEOTHERMAL INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2006
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

a) Organization

When U.S. Cobalt Inc. (“GTH” or the “Company”) completed a reverse take-over on December 19, 2003, the former stockholders of U.S. Geothermal Inc. (“GEO - Idaho”), a company incorporated on February 26, 2002 in the State of Idaho, acquired control of GTH (Note 3). In connection with the transaction, U.S. Cobalt Inc. changed its name to U.S. Geothermal Inc. and consolidated its common stock on a one new to five old basis. All references to common shares in these financial statements have been restated to reflect the roll-back of common stock.

b) Development Stage Activities

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. GEO - Idaho operates for the purpose of acquiring geothermal properties and entered into an agreement with the previous owner, pursuant to which the Company has acquired a 100% interest in the Raft River Geothermal Property located in Cassia County, Idaho (Note 4).

c) Going Concern

Based on the Company’s projected spending over the next 12 months and the $20,134,260 cash received from the private placement completed April 3, 2006, the Company’s auditors have removed the going concern qualification from the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, and is currently evaluating several financing options for construction of the phase one power plant. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,232,535 for the period from February 26, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2006, and has no revenue from operations.

NOTE 2- ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following companies:

U.S. Geothermal Inc. (incorporated in the State of Delaware);
U.S. Geothermal Inc. (incorporated in the State of Idaho);

62


U.S. Cobalt Inc. (incorporated in the State of Colorado);
Raft River Energy I LLC (incorporated in the State of Delaware);
US Geothermal Services, LLC (incorporated in the State of Delaware).

All inter-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable and permits an entity to choose either the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

63


In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” (hereinafter SFAS No. 154”) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes in accounting principle and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153. This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” 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 that opinion, 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. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued. Management believes the adoption of this statement had no impact on the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” The Company has not yet determined the impact to its financial statements from the adoption of this statement.

d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits with maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired.

64


e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Costs of acquisition of geothermal properties are capitalized on an area-of-interest basis. Amortization of these costs will be on a unit-of-production basis, based on estimated proven geothermal reserves should such reserves be found. If an area of interest is abandoned, the costs thereof are charged to income in the year of abandonment.

The Company expenses all costs related to the development of geothermal reserves prior to the establishment of proven and profitable reserves. Other equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of other equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis at an annual rate of 30%.

f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

SFAS No. 144- “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale including discontinued operations. SFAS 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.

g) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109- “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The significant components of the deferred tax asset at March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 were as follows:

    March 31,     March 31,  
    2006     2005  
Net operating loss carryforward $  5,196,418   $  3,541,913  
Deferred tax asset: $  1,767,000   $  1,204,000  
Less valuation allowance for tax asset   -1,767,000     -1,204,000  
Net deferred tax asset $  -   $  -  

At March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,196,418 and $3,541,913 respectively, which expire in the years 2023 through 2025. The change in the allowance account from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006 was $563,000.

h) Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, refundable tax credits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion

65


that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Refundable tax credit is comprised of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) which is refundable from the Government of Canada.

i) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128- “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. As the Company generated net losses in each of the periods presented, the basic and dilutive loss per share is the same, as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive.

j) Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are converted into U.S. dollars using the current method as follows:

  • Monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
  • Non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
  • Revenue and expenses at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

Adjustments arising from the translation of the foreign currency amounts are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

k) Asset Retirement Obligations

SFAS No. 143- “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value at the time the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost should be capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset.

NOTE 3 - REVERSE TAKE-OVER

Effective December 19, 2003, GTH acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of GEO - Idaho by issuing 6,939,992 common shares and 2,420,217 share purchase warrants, of which 2,150,309 common shares and no share purchase warrants were held in escrow as at December 31, 2005 (as at March 31, 2005, 4,243,325 common shares and 1,946,937 share purchase warrants were held in escrow). Each share purchase warrant entitled the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.75 per share until December 19, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the 2,420,217 stock purchase warrants noted above have expired without exercise. Since the transaction resulted in the former shareholders of GEO - Idaho owning the majority of the issued shares of GTH, the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse take-over”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by GEO - Idaho of the net

66


assets and liabilities of GTH. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of GTH are included in these financial statements from December 19, 2003. GEO -Idaho is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the balance sheet at their previously recorded values.

The Company has determined that the share purchase warrants issued as part of the transaction have a fair value of $629,256 as determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the assumptions as stated in Note 5. The amount is considered to be additional consideration given to the former GEO - Idaho shareholders and, as such, has been allocated, along with the net liabilities assumed of GTH, to deficit.

The acquisition is summarized as follows:

Current assets (including cash of $5,798) $  11,616  
Current liabilities   (419,782 )
       
Net liabilities assumed $  (408,166 )

The net liabilities assumed have been charged to accumulated deficit.

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

GEO - Idaho entered into an agreement, as amended December 3, 2002, with the previous owner to purchase up to a 100% interest in the Raft River Geothermal Property (“the Property”) located in Cassia County, Idaho, in exchange for 1,895,000 shares (the “old shares”), 1,612,000 warrants (the “old warrants”) of GEO – Idaho, and up to $600,000 in cash. A condition to acquiring 100% of the Property is the completion by GEO - Idaho of at least a $200,000 work program on the Property. The old shares and old warrants were exchanged subsequent to December 31, 2002 (as part of the reverse take-over described in Notes 3 and 5) for shares and warrants of the Company.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company has acquired a 100% interest in the Property by making cash payments totalling $250,000 in 2003, $225,000 in 2004 and $125,000 in 2005. The Company has also completed the requisite work program. In addition, the Company has paid $57,728 to acquire two purchase options on 1,083 acres of surface and water rights, and paid $949,036 to initiate construction of the Raft River Project.

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company acquired 100 acres of surface and energy rights in exchange for a cash payment of $40,000 and issuance of 100,000 common shares valued at $60,351.

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

On March 13, 2006, the Company issued 15,000 common shares upon the exercise of 15,000 options at an exercise price of $0.60 CDN ($0.51 U.S. as of March 13, 2006).

In payment for services provided in connection with the private placement described below, the Company paid $225,131 in cash and granted 280,000 agent’s warrants exercisable at a price of $0.85 CDN ($0.72 U.S. as at September 30, 2005) until September 17, 2006. The warrants are exercisable into units identical (including with respect to acceleration) to the units offered in the private placement. The fair value of $133,341, as calculated by the Black-Scholes model, was recorded as a share issue cost.

On September 17, 2004, the Company issued 4,000,001 units for a private placement at a price of $0.85 CDN ($0.66 U.S. as at September 17, 2004) per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.25 CDN ($1.06 U.S. as at September 30, 2005) per share until September 17, 2006. Should the closing price of the Company’s common shares exceed $1.65 CDN ($1.40 U.S. as at September 30, 2005) per share for twenty consecutive trading days, the exercise date of the warrants may be accelerated to a date not earlier than twenty days following the date of the press release indicating the acceleration.

During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company made cash payments totalling $137,398 pursuant to the convertible notes described below. On February 20, 2004, the Company issued 385,864 units, at a value of $0.45 per unit, on conversion of amounts due under the convertible promissory notes totalling $173,639, including unpaid principal of $147,000 and interest accrued at a rate of 20% per annum totalling $26,638. Each unit has identical terms and conditions to the units issued in the December 2003 private placement described below, other than the expiration date of the warrants which expire on February 17, 2006.

On December 19, 2003, the Company issued 6,939,992 shares and 2,420,217 warrants (the “new warrants”) to the shareholders of GEO - Idaho to effect the reverse take-over (“RTO”) described

69


in Note 3. Pursuant to the negotiated agreement of the parties, as approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, the GEO - Idaho shares were exchanged on a one-for-one basis with all GEO - Idaho shareholders other than Vulcan Power Company, which received shares and warrants so that Vulcan Power would own 14% on a non-diluted and 25% on a fully-diluted basis after closing (taking into account the private placement closed in conjunction with the RTO discussed below). To meet these percentages, Vulcan was issued 1,755,159 shares and the 2,420,217 new warrants. Vulcan had held 1,895,000 GEO-Idaho shares and 1,612,000 GEO - Idaho warrants prior to the RTO. The new warrants, issued only to Vulcan as the sole old warrant holder of GEO - Idaho, have an exercise price of $0.75 per share and expire December 19, 2005. Concurrently with the RTO, the Company issued 3,322,221 units for a private placement at a price of $0.45 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each full share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.75 per share until December 19, 2005. The share issuance costs of this issuance were $100,559. Of this amount, $75,122 was paid in cash and $25,437 was paid by the issuance of 83,333 agent’s warrants to purchase up to 83,333 common shares, exercisable at a price of $0.45 until December 19, 2005. The value assigned to the new warrants was $629,256 ($0.26 per warrant), and the value assigned to the warrants included in the units was $431,889 ($0.26 per warrant) as calculated by the Black-Scholes model. The exercise date of the warrants issued in connection with the RTO, the private placement and agent services can be accelerated to 30 days after written notice from the Company provided that the Company has obtained both: (i) all material permits and licenses necessary to authorize initiation of construction of a 10 megawatt power plant; and (ii) power purchase and transmission agreements for such plant. The fair value of the agent’s warrants of $25,437 ($0.30 per warrant) was calculated by the Black-Scholes model. The share issue costs have been netted against the proceeds allocated to additional paid in capital.

On April 25, 2003, the Company committed to issue convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $269,000. The notes were convertible, at the option of the holder, into units identical in terms to the units described above, except with respect to the expiration date of the units, as described above. The notes carried an interest rate of 20%.

On February 14, 2003, the Company issued 151,170 common shares to directors of the Company for management services. These shares had a fair value on that date of $45,350. Accordingly, these shares were recorded as a charge to management fees in the consolidated statement of operations.

On November 1, 2002, the Company issued 1,023,667 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share for cash proceeds of $307,100 and 10,000 common shares for services related to the geothermal property. The shares issued for services had a fair value on that date of $3,000. Accordingly, these shares were recorded as a charge to exploration expenditures in the consolidated statement of operations.

On May 28, 2002, the Company issued 395,000 common shares at a price of $0.25 per share for cash proceeds of $98,750 and issued 5,000 common shares for consulting services. The shares issued for services had a fair value on that date of $1,250. Accordingly, the shares issued for services were recorded as a charge to consulting fees in the consolidated statement of operations.

Escrow Shares

The following common shares and share purchase warrants are in escrow at the dates shown:

    March 31,     March 31,  
    2006     2005  
             
Common shares   2,150,309     4,241,540  
Share purchase warrants   0     1,946,937  

The escrow shares and warrants are or were held in escrow pursuant to standard requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange, which required that escrow conditions be placed upon the shares and share purchase warrants issued in conjunction with the acquisition of GEO - Idaho (Note 3) and the concurrently completed private placement (Note 5). Shares are released from escrow at six month intervals, with the last release from escrow scheduled for December 19, 2006. All stock purchase warrants previously held in escrow expired as of December 31, 2005, without exercise.

NOTE 6 - STOCK -BASED COMPENSATION

The Company‘s stock option plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options enabling the holders to purchase up to 2,584,000 common shares. The plan is for employees, consultants, officers and directors of the Company. Options are granted for a term of up to five years from the date of grant. Stock options granted generally vest over a period of eighteen months. Because the plan has historically been administered in Canada by Pacific Corporate Trust, the Company has issued stock options with an exercise price stated in Canadian dollars per share.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company granted 50,000 stock options to a consultant exercisable at a price of $0.72 CDN ($0.61 USD as at December 31, 2005) until April 19, 2010.

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company granted 560,000 stock options to consultants, directors and officers exercisable at prices ranging from $0.72 to $0.90 CDN ($0.61 to $0.77 USD as at December 31, 2005).

During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company granted 1,745,000 stock options to consultants, directors and officers exercisable at a price of $0.60 CDN ($0.51 USD as at December 31, 2005) until January 3, 2009.

Compensation expense related to stock options granted is recorded at their fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense of $25,509 was included in consulting fees and $155,271 was included in salaries and wages for the twelve months ended March 31, 2006 (March 31, 2005 - $295,541).

The changes in stock options are as follows:

The following table summarizes information about the number of shares under stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2006:

$ 0.67 CDN 1,756,265                    1,065,628 3.25 923,128

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.50 per share. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value are as follows:

    2005     2004  
             
Dividend yield   0     0  
Expected volatility   116%     136%  
Risk free interest rate   3.88%     4.18%  
Expected life   5 Years     5 Years  

72


Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

Stock Purchase Warrants

As at March 31, 2006 (8,637,593 as at March 31, 2005), the following share purchase warrants are outstanding:

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to determine the fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions:

    2005     2004  
             
Dividend yield   0%     0%  
Expected volatility   150%     136%

NOTE 8 - DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GAAP

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The material difference in respect to these financial statements between U.S. and Canadian GAAP is reflected in the recording of Property, Plant and Equipment. Under Canadian GAAP, development and exploration costs associated with the Raft River project (property lease payments, geological consulting fees, well monitoring and permitting, etc.) are recorded as a capital asset. Under U.S. GAAP, these amounts are expensed. As a result of the above, under Canadian GAAP the following line items in the consolidated balance sheets and income statements would have been presented as follows:

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into several lease agreements with terms expiring up to December 1, 2034 for geothermal properties adjoining the Raft River Geothermal Property. The leases provide for the following annual payments within the next five fiscal years:

2006 $ 28,850
2007 $ 20,100
2008 $ 20,400
2009 $ 20,800
2010 $ 23,800

The Company has signed a 10 MW power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company for sale of power generated from its planned phase one power plant. Sale of power generated from phase two power plants are currently under discussion. The Company has also signed a transmission agreement with Bonneville Power Administration for transmission of the electricity from this plant to Idaho Power, and from the phase two plants to other purchasers. These agreements are all contingent upon successful financing and construction of the power plant at Raft River.

On December 5, 2005, the Company signed a contract with Ormat Nevada, Inc. (Ormat) for Ormat to construct a 13 MW geothermal power plant at Raft River, Idaho for a lump sum price of $20,200,000 (exclusive of taxes). The Company expects the output of the plant will be used to meet power delivery requirements of the Company’s agreements with Idaho Power Company.

On April 3, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 25,000,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 CDN ($0.86 U.S. as of April 3, 2006). Proceeds, net of financing fees, totaled $20,134,260. Of the net proceeds, $172,370 had been received in the Company’s bank accounts prior to year end. Since the subscription forms reflected a March 30, 2006 date, and the remainder of the cash was on deposit with Dundee Securities, the private placement was recorded as “Restricted Cash” and as “Capital Stock Issuable” in these financial statements. Upon the issuance of the common shares on April 3, 2006, all cash restrictions were lifted.

We lease general office space for our executive office in Boise at an annual cost of $30,506. The underlying lease is a year-to-year lease that expires on January 31, 2007.

NOTE 10- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 3, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 25,000,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 CDN ($0.86 U.S. as of April 3, 2006). Proceeds, net of financing fees, totaled $20,134,260. Of the net proceeds, $172,370 had been received in the Company’s bank accounts. Since the subscription forms reflected a March 30, 2006 date, and the remainder of the cash was on deposit with Dundee Securities, the private placement was reflected as Restricted Cash and as Capital Stock Issuable in these financial statements. Upon the issuance of the common shares on April 3, 2006, all cash restrictions were lifted.

On April 27, 2006, the Company and Ormat amended the contract to construct the phase one geothermal power plant in order to allow commencement of construction in advance of project financing. In connection with the amendment, the Company issued a Notice to Proceed to Ormat, which commissioned them to immediately proceed with final detailed engineering and place orders for long-lead time equipment and material components. This schedule is intended to provide first synchronization of the phase one power plant in September 2007 with full commercial operations no later than November 2007.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

When U.S. Cobalt Inc. (“GTH” or the “Company”) completed a reverse take-over on December 19, 2003, the former stockholders of U.S. Geothermal Inc. (“GEO – Idaho”) a company incorporated on February 26, 2002 in the State of Idaho, acquired control of GTH. (Note 3) In connection with the transaction, U.S. Cobalt Inc. changed its name to U.S. Geothermal Inc. and consolidated its common stock on a one new to five old basis. All references to common shares in these financial statements have been restated to reflect the roll-back of common stock.

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. GEO - Idaho operates for the purpose of acquiring geothermal properties and has entered into an agreement with Vulcan Power Company (“Vulcan”) of Bend, Oregon, U.S.A., pursuant to which it has agreed to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Raft River Geothermal Property located in Cassia County, Idaho, U.S.A.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable and permits an entity to choose either the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 154”) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes in accounting principle and error corrections.

SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.Management does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits with maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired.

Going Concern

Based on the Company’s projected spending over the next 12 months and the $20,134,260 cash received from the private placement completed April 3, 2006, the Company’s auditors have removed the going concern qualification from the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, and financing for construction of the phase one power plant. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,605,021 for the period from February 26, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2006, and has no revenue from operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Costs of acquisition of geothermal properties are capitalized on an area-of-interest basis. Amortization of these costs will be on a unit-of-production basis, based on estimated proven geothermal reserves should such reserves be found. If an area of interest is abandoned, the costs thereof are charged to income in the year of abandonment.

The Company expenses all costs related to the development of geothermal reserves prior to the establishment of proven and profitable reserves. Other equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of other equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis at an annual rate of 30%.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109- “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The significant components of the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were as follows:

    June 30,     March 31,  
    2006     2006  
Net operating loss carryforward $  5,567,000   $  5,196,000  
Deferred tax asset: $  1,893,000   $  1,767,000  
Less valuation allowance for tax asset   -1,893,000     -1,767,000  
Net deferred tax asset $  -   $  -  

At June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,567,000 and $5,196,000 respectively, which expire in the years 2023 through 2026. The change in the allowance account from March 31, 2006 to June 30, 2006 was $126,000.

NOTE 3- REVERSE TAKE-OVER

Effective December 19, 2003, GTH acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of GEO - Idaho by issuing 6,939,992 common shares and 2,420,217 share purchase warrants, of which 3,149,846 common shares and 1,500,570 share purchase warrants were held in escrow as at June 30, 2005 (March 31, 2005, 4,243,325 common shares and 1,946,937 share purchase warrants). Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.75 per share until December 15, 2005. Since the transaction resulted in the former shareholders of GEO – Idaho owning the majority of the issued shares of GTH, the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse take-over”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by GEO - Idaho of the net assets and liabilities of GTH. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of GTH are included in these financial statements from December 19, 2003. GEO - Idaho is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the balance sheet at their previously recorded values.

The Company has determined that the share purchase warrants issued as part of the transaction have a fair value of $629,256 as determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the assumptions as stated in Note 6. The amount is considered to be additional consideration given to the former GEO-Idaho shareholders and, as such, has been allocated, along with the net liabilities assumed of GTH, to deficit.

The acquisition is summarized as follows:

Current assets (including cash of $5,798) $  11,616  
Current liabilities   (419,782 )
       
Net liabilities assumed $  (408,166 )

The net liabilities assumed were charged to accumulated deficit.

NOTE 4- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

GEO - Idaho entered into an agreement, as amended December 3, 2002, with the previous owner to purchase up to a 100% interest in the Raft River Geothermal Property (“the Property”) located in Cassia County, Idaho, in exchange for 1,895,000 shares (the “old shares”), 1,612,000 warrants (the “old warrants”) of GEO – Idaho, and up to $600,000 in cash. A condition to acquiring 100% of the Property was the completion by GEO - Idaho of at least a $200,000 work program on the Property. The old shares and old warrants were exchanged subsequent to December 31, 2002 (as part of the reverse take-over described in Notes 3 and 5) for shares and warrants of the Company.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company has acquired a 100% interest in the Property by making cash payments totalling $250,000 in 2003, $225,000 in 2004 and $125,000 in 2005. The Company has also completed the requisite work program. In addition, the Company has paid $57,728 to acquire two purchase options on 1,083 acres of surface and water rights, and paid $949,036 to initiate construction of the Raft River Project.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company acquired 123 acres of surface and energy rights in exchange for a cash payment of $208,413 and acquired 631 acre feet per annum in water rights for $15,000. The Company also acquired access to 5,409 acres of surface, mineral and geothermal rights through a lease payment of $15,000, and paid $2,976,964 in construction costs for the Phase 1 Raft River project. An additional $32,415 was paid to acquire furniture and computer equipment for the corporate and Raft River offices.

NOTE 5- CAPITAL STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

On May 23, 2006, the Company issued 40,000 common shares upon the exercise of 40,000 options at an exercise price of $0.60 CDN ($0.53 U.S. as of May 23, 2006).

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.67 per share. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value are as follows:

    2006     2005  
             
Dividend yield   0     0  
Expected volatility   97%     116%  
Risk free interest rate   4.90%     3.88%  
Expected life (years)   3.25     5.00  

Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

Stock Purchase Warrants

As at June 30, 2006, the following share purchase warrants are outstanding:

NOTE 8 - DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GAAP

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The material difference in respect to these financial statements between U.S. and Canadian GAAP is reflected in the recording of Property, Plant and Equipment. Under Canadian GAAP, development and exploration costs associated with the Raft River project (property lease payments, geological consulting fees, well monitoring and permitting, etc.) are recorded as a capital asset. Under U.S. GAAP, these amounts are expensed. As a result of the above, under Canadian GAAP the following line items in the consolidated balance sheets and income statements would have been presented as follows:

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into several lease agreements with terms expiring up to December 1, 2034 for geothermal properties adjoining the Raft River Geothermal Property. The leases provide for the following annual payments within the next five fiscal years:

2006 $ 28,850
2007 $ 20,100
2008 $ 20,400
2009 $ 20,800
2010 $ 23,800

The Company has signed a 10 MW power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company for sale of power generated from its planned phase one power plant. Sale of power generated from phase two power plants are currently under discussion. The Company has also signed a transmission agreement with Bonneville Power Administration for transmission of the electricity from this plant to Idaho Power, and from the phase two plants to other purchasers. These agreements are all contingent upon successful financing and construction of the power plant at Raft River.

On December 5, 2005, the Company signed a contract (the “Ormat EPC Agreement”) with Ormat Nevada, Inc. (Ormat) for Ormat to construct a 13 MW geothermal power plant at Raft River, Idaho for a lump sum price of $20,200,000 (exclusive of taxes).

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Article XII of our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of officers and directors except (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the company or its stakeholders (ii) acts and omission that are not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the general corporate law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper benefit.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether this indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.

The warrants were issued solely to Vulcan Power Company, the sole warrant holder of Geo-Idaho, in reliance on Section 4(2), and were exercisable at a price of $0.75 per share until December 15, 2005. Pursuant to the negotiated agreement of the parties, and as approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, the shares were exchanged on a one-for-one basis with all shareholders other than Vulcan Power Company, which received shares and warrants so that Vulcan Power would own 14% on a non-diluted and 25% on a fully-diluted basis after closing (and taking into account the private placement discussed in paragraph 2, below). The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model at $0.26 each, or $629,256 in the aggregate, and recorded on our financial statements as an addition to deficit. Each of these persons represented to Geo-Idaho that he purchased the securities for his, her or its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution of the securities.

Of the 13 purchasers, two were residents of the United States who represented that they were “accredited investors” under Regulation D, and the remaining 11 sales were to non-U.S. persons and took place in offshore transactions outside of the United States, as defined in Regulation S.

The warrants included in Dundee’s units are also subject to acceleration, whether or not the compensation option has been exercised. An additional Cdn $31,977.45 was incurred in legal expenses relating to the offering, as well as Cdn $18,190 in fees to the TSX Venture Exchange which together with the Cdn $238,000 cash paid to Dundee Securities Corporation made up the $225,131 cash component of issuance costs.
