PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1984 under the laws of the state of Utah.

Earth Search Sciences, Inc. has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Skywatch Exploration, Inc., Polyspectrum Imaging, Inc., Geoprobe, Inc., and STDC, Inc. In addition, there are five majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries: Earth Search Resources, Inc., Eco Probe, Inc., ESSI Probe 1 LC, Petro Probe, Inc. and Terranet, Inc. The 50% owned subsidiary ESSI Probe 1 LC was formed as a joint venture to own and operate hyperspectral instruments. All subsidiaries, excepting Petro Probe, were inactive during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

             The Company utilizes an aircraft mounted hyperspectral remote sensing instrument to gather precise geological data from the surface of the Earth. Solar energy is reflected from surface materials and the instrument, called “Probe-1”, captures the data in digital form. The Probe 1 sensor is an imaging spectrometer, specifically a "whiskbroom style" opto-mechanical scanner system that collects data in a cross-track direction by mechanical scanning and in an along-track direction by movement of the airborne platform.  The sensor uses a diffraction grating to direct reflected sunlight onto four detector arrays covering the 400 to 2500 nanometer range of the electromagnetic spectrum. ). In the VNIR and SWIR, the at-sensor radiance is dispersed by four spectrographs onto four detector arrays. Spectral coverage is nearly continuous in these regions with small gaps in the middle of the 1.4 and 1.9 nm atmospheric water bands. In order to avoid geometric distortions in the recorded imagery, the Probe-1 is mounted on a 3 axis, gyro-stabilized mount. Geolocation of nadir pixels is assisted by the recording of aircraft GPS positional data and tagging each scan line with a time that is referenced to the UTC time interrupts from the GPS receiver. Incoming photons build up in the detectors to register as an electronic signal. These correlate to digital counts that indicate the amount of signal coming from the Earth’s surface. The visible wavelength detector array includes a Si detector array operated at ambient temperature, and the near-infrared, and two short wavelength IR arrays incorporate InSb arrays cooled by liquid nitrogen to 77K. Each spectrographic module provides 32 spectral channels. Data are recorded on Exabyte Mammoth tape drives, two of which are installed to provide an on-line storage capacity of up to 80 GB. The Probe 1 sensors currently generate data at approximately 2.5 MB per second.

 Each data set includes what can be described as 128 images, each collected at a different wavelength.  When the data are converted to reflectance, materials on the Earth’s surface can be identified based upon diagnostic absorption features.  This holds true whether the target is rocks and minerals, vegetation, or man-made materials. The detail in hyperspectral reflectance data allows identification – not just detection – of materials. Minerals that are associated with various natural resources can be identified. Vegetation health can be monitored, amounts of woody plant material available for wildfires can be assessed, noxious weeds can be mapped, and detailed post fire burn severity maps can be generated. Conditions concerning water quality – turbidity, etc. can also be mapped. As data processing costs come down, more and more scientists working in different applications are using hyperspectral data as so much more information can be derived about materials on the Earth’s surface.  The spectral data is processed to identify unique spectra in the image. The captured and processed spectra are compared to a library of known material spectra called “digital fingerprints” and the output allows the identification of mineral, compounds and organic matter and the determination of vegetative conditions.
 
           Minerals identified with the Probe 1 include alunite, kaolinite, dickite, smectite, pyrophyllite, buddingtonite, gypsum, calcite, dolomite, Fe chlorite, Mg chlorite, tremolite, muscovite, illite, goethite, hematite, tourmaline.  Many more are possible.  Detection  may be limited  if there is not  enough of the mineral filling a pixel (perhaps < 5%). The minerals need to be exposed at the surface, so 90-100% vegetation cover precludes identification. Also, minerals exposed but in shadows are difficult to detect. Some mixtures of minerals may be difficult to identify, but skilled interpreters can often do it.  And field checks are helpful in these cases.

           Hyperspectral imaging technology has been used for over 20 years for a variety of applications.  More and more companies are realizing the benefits.  Most recently, the Probe was used to identify mineral anomalies in vegetated terrain in New Mexico. These new targets were field checked and high values of gold and platinum were found.  The field geologist, who had never worked with hyperspectral data before was impressed with the accuracy.  He recommended drilling targets that were discovered using Probe data. An article describing this will be published in an upcoming Special Publication of Economic Geology.

An article describing this will be published in an upcoming Special Publication of Economic Geology.

            Data collected at different times should not hinder identification of materials as long as the sensor is calibrated regularly and the solar signal is strong (we recommend collections with the sun angle being at least 30 degrees). Regarding environmental applications, suitable ones include mapping fuel or oil spills, noxious weeds or other invasive plant species, suspended sediments in water bodies, algae blooms in lakes, etc.  Landsat TM satellite data has been used for decades to map various land cover materials.  Hyperspectral data can identify many more materials than multispectral satellite data so land-use management is optimimized.

Minerals can be identified in the time it takes to collect and analyze the data – perhaps as little as a day or two.  Analysis of reflectance data from instruments such as the Probe have been used to identify minerals remotely, that are impossible to identify in hand sample.  Previously field geologists would send samples that were difficult to absolutely identify to the lab to do chemical or x-ray diffraction analysis. This process takes several days or weeks. Probe reflectance data can identify quickly any mineral with distinctive absorption features. And it has been shown that mineral maps produced from hyperspectral data are more accurate than some produced by geologists in the field, particularly where access is difficult and geologist can’t walk all the ground.  Oil and gas, not being typically exposed at the surface, is typically keyed in on using specific alteration minerals developed by hydrocarbon microseepage or the presence of stressed vegetation.

The Company initially developed the exploration capability of the hyperspectral technology with Noranda Mining Company and its affiliates, all major mineral explorers and producers. Under license the Company provided hyperspectral data to Noranda which processed the raw hyperspectral data and used the resulting product for both its own internal mining exploration purposes as well as to resell (profitably) to other firms. As a result of the license the Company received fees and is due to receive net smelter royalties from new mines established from the program.  Targets were flown in Chile, Peru and the North West Territories in Canada. The results of this contract were featured by Noranda representatives at the 2004 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada conference. The strategy of participating in this type of license arrangement led to the development of a joint venture approach to marketing the hyperspectral technology.

In mining and hydrocarbon exploration, Probe data has proven useful for mapping minerals related to potentially economic deposits of natural resources.  In particular, it has been used for gold, silver, platinum and copper exploration. Hyperspectral data has been useful for detecting vegetation stress, identifying crops, and mapping noxious weeds. One interesting ecological application is mapping degrees of burn severity after wild fires.  Hyperspectral data allows researchers to provide more detailed burn severity maps to the Forest Service and others.  This important in that information is needed on how effectively areas will recover.  The American Geophysical Conference in December this year will have some papers on this topic.

In its search for joint venture partners who have rights to adequate mineral claims the Company has encouraged the creation of an alliance with two other companies. Phoenix Wyoming Inc., a Colorado private company under the direction of  William Pelton PhD, and Geotechnical Business Solutions, a private Canadian company under the direction of John Gingerich P. Geo. From 1996 to 2002 John Gingerich held the position of Director, Research and Technical Innovation Noranda Inc., Exploration Group. Other positions held in Noranda: 1992 to 1996 Senior Geophysicist Latin America; 1990 to 1992 Senior Geophysicist (Regional) Western Canada and 1987 to 1990 Division Geophysicist. Dr. Pelton has also indicated strong interest for involvement in the oil shale recovery program. Both parties are in position to complete negotiations based on the Company confirming the availability of the data collection aircraft.

Since 1997, the Company has also collected and holds a substantial archive of Probe 1 imagery from Kazakhstan, Australia, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Peru, Chile, Mexico, California, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Utah.  At the present time the value of this data archive has not been independently appraised nor is the value of this archive reflected in the financial statements. With approximately 200,000 sq. km. of mineral oriented data the Company believes there is a market for the information. This year the company has begun to market the archive.

In the fiscal years 2007 and 2006, the Company’s sensors were operated in the United States and abroad.  Contracts to operate the sensors in the United States as an ecological, mining, agricultural, and hydrocarbon target identification tool produced revenues of $91,429 and $302,901 in fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.  During fiscal year 2006, we also had revenues of $96,841 related to oil and gas activities, which ceased during that same fiscal year.
History

In December, 1985 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a privately held company known as Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (ESSI), a Utah corporation formed on August 29, 1985.  The Company issued 13,639,600 shares of its common stock in exchange for ESSI's outstanding shares.  This merger was a reverse acquisition and accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the two companies were combined at their recorded net book values.  In August, 1987 the Company changed its name to Earth Search Sciences, Inc. and in November, 1987 ESSI was dissolved. The Company has since re-incorporated in Nevada.

Since 1997, the Company has collected and holds a substantial archive of Probe 1 imagery from Kazakhstan, Australia, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Chile, Mexico, California, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Utah.  At the present time the value of this data archive has not been independently appraised nor is the value of this archive reflected in the financial statements. However the Company has undertaken a marketing campaign to sell the data to mineral exploration companies and is currently reviewing initial inquiries.

In 1999 the Company was approached by the US Navy to participate in a joint venture to acquire ownership of a proposed remote sensing satellite. Under the direction of Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Naval Space Science and Technology Program Office, the Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) satellite would be capable of meeting the hyperspectral and panchromatic needs of many end users with timeliness and spatial resolution improved over existing commercial systems.

The ONR signed an Other Transaction with the Space Technology Development Corporation (STDC) of Arlington, VA to develop NEMO in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Dual Use Applications Program (DUAP). DUAP is a joint program of the Army, Navy, Air Force, DARPA, Director Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), and the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for International and Commercial Programs.

Subsequent to March 31, 2002,  STDC received notification from the ONR that it would not extend the agreement further.

The Company believes that the statute of limitations has run with respect to liabilities incurred with sub contractors and vendors on the NEMO program and these amounts are no longer enforceable. The Company recorded  a gain on debt retirement in the amount of $10,132,522 in fiscal 2007.

Corporate Focus

The Company’s mission is to continue to use remote sensing in a variety of exploration, monitoring and exploitation industries around the globe.  Remote sensing includes acquiring, processing and interpreting imagery of the Earth captured from instruments deployed on aircraft or satellites. The advantages of airborne and satellite remote sensing over other methods of gathering visual information are that data can be collected better, faster and cheaper over larger areas including sites inaccessible from the ground.    By collecting data at different times, changes can be detected that may be due to significant natural or man-made processes.  Detection of such changes can assist in environmental/land use management.

With the recent resurgence of the mining industry and the demand for new sources of supply for oil and gas, there is a greater interest in using exploration tools that are faster and more accurate. With its hyperspectral technology the Company plans to take an aggressive role in establishing itself as an active participant in the discovery of new natural resources by creating wholly owned subsidiary companies in key industries, initially mining and oil and gas. These companies will seek joint ventures with partners who can provide  technologies, human and capital resources to synergize with the Company’s assets in order to build active exploration and development programs.

This strategy is intended to produce two valuable results for the Company's shareholders:

1. More demand for the Company's hyperspectral remote sensing services, hence more revenue generation, and
2. Equity positions with fast growth potential in multiple key industries from discoveries of rare natural resources.

Evidence of the interest in this strategy is seen in the Company’s first joint venture in the mining industry (with subsidiary company Geo Probe, Inc.). Another  joint venture is underway in the oil and gas industry (with subsidiary company Petro Probe, Inc). Other joint ventures that are in early stage discussions focus on technology research and development centers, and advanced modular, hyperspectral instrumentation utilizing nanotechnology.

Business

As a result of changes in the market for geological remote sensing data, the Company changed its strategy from a service provider to a developer of exploration and exploitation companies focused in the mineral and hydrocarbon sectors.  We will primarily seek  joint venture opportunities with established oil and gas, and other precious mineral mining companies to locate, develop and exlpoit natural reserves throughout the world. Petro Probe, Inc. was formed in November 1993 for the oil & gas industry while Geo Probe, Inc. was formed in October 1993 for mineral exploration.

With its established hyperspectral technology the Company sought joint ventures with partners who could provide technologies, human and capital resources to synergize with the Company's technology. This strategy is intended to lead to the creation of more demand for the Company's hyperspectral remote sensing services.

The  Company  experiences  the  highest  demand for its collection services April  through  October  in the Northern Hemisphere and October through April in the  Southern  Hemisphere.  Contracts are being sought in the following market segments: mining, hydrocarbon, agriculture, ecological and environmental monitoring. Because of the advent of the world-wide recognition for control of global-warming issues, the Company plans to develop an environmentally focused marketing plan to portray the advantages of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing to these market segments.

Subsidiary Companies

Petro Probe, Inc.'s goal is to identify good oil and gas properties through a two part strategy: develop the competitive advantages of its  resource  mapping  capability, with hyperspectral imagery, and combine that mapping capability with conventional hydrocarbon exploration  tools.   Petro Probe’s activity during fiscal 2007 has been to develop the business plans and managerial structure to begin work on the oil shale technology under license. Funding sources have been identified and recognition of the technology by the Department of  Energy (DOE) was obtained. See report published by Office of Petroleum Reserves, U.S. Department of Energy, June 2007, “Profiles of Companies Investing Today to Secure America’s Energy Future”.

Geo Probe, Inc. plans to use the hyperspectral mapping technology to find new mineral  deposits and monitor the environmental impact of active and  past-producing  mines,  mills, smelters, refineries and pipelines.  The  Company's  mapping  agreement  with Noranda Minerals, concluded in 2005, provided  the  ability to develop and prove these new approaches to mineral exploration.  Geo Probe, Inc. has been evaluating joint venture proposals received from a Canadian corporation, a letter of intent for a joint venture from a Chinese and HongKong company, and a joint venture proposal from a to-be-formed Nevada limited liability company.

Eco Probe, Inc. was formed to pursue hyperspectral remote sensing applications in the environmental industry.  The Company has sought to position itself with U.S.  government  agencies  such  as  the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management and the Office of Surface  Mining  on  setting  up  applications  for  commercial  monitoring  of mineral industries,  forest  inventory and health issues, slope stability assessment and the  spread  of  noxious  weeds.

The Company and Eco Probe, Inc. have performed hyperspectral surveys and research  in  aquatic and vegetation-related projects .  Eco Probe, Inc made three collection between 2000 and 2001 The environmental markets are  vast,  however  the  Company's current lack of resources dictates priority  be  assigned  to  mineral  and  hydrocarbon  exploration.  The subsidiary was inactive during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

The  Company formed Terranet, Inc. to act as a imagery product distribution conduit  and  perform  as  the  Company's  e-commerce content provider. Recognizing  that imagery  collected  today  and yesterday could  be  sold  repeatedly  to  multiple  end users the Company’s subsidiary company, Terranet, completed the copyright design and testing of  a  database  and  internet  centered  marketing  system.  Terranet anticipates new joint venture partners to be available when the hyperspectral industry begins to grow again. The subsidiary was inactive during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

The other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, Skywatch Exploration, Inc., Polyspectrum Imaging, Inc., and Space Technology Development Corp.are inactive. The other majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries, Earth Search Resources, Inc. and ESSI Probe 1 LC are inactive.

Fiscal 2007 Significant Projects – Update

To date, terrabyte quantities of imagery have been collected by the Company.  Selected portions of these data tapes are being processed and the imagery is being examined for the presence of mineral properties. The Company is currently working to outsource the processing and interpretation of its archived data in order to quickly expand its commercial offering.

We plan to seek joint venture opportunties with private industry, universities and state and federal agencies to develop, package and deliver competitive advanced technology processed data and airborne mapping products and services.  These include both unsolicited proposals and responses to Requests for Proposals and will be addressed on a prioritized basis. The Company will continue to respond to requests for quotations that it receives.  We believe that these requests for proposals and quotations demonstrate the demand for hyperspectral services and gives reason for the Company to have a positive outlook for the near future.

Competition

The Company has numerous competitors in the remote sensing services (airborne hyperspectral services) and natural resource development industries.  Competition in the remote sensing industry comes from several primary sources, including HyMap, CASI and GER, whose hyperspectral instruments operate within the USA and Ekwan, a new entry from Canada.  Our principal competitors in the natural resource development industry include traditional exploration companies using a variety of other technologies.  Some of our competitors in both remote sensing and natural resource development have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.
Employees

As of September 13, 2007 the Company had 4 full-time employees.

Regulation

The sale of our imagery is regulated by the Department of Commerce.  Although the Company (through its acquisition of STDC) has acquired a Department of Commerce (DOC) Remote Sensing License that permits the Company to market globally hyperspectral and panchromatic imagery, there is no guarantee that the government will not impose restrictions on sales if the quality of our imagery increases with new technology that, for example, allows increased resolution.  Because our license was the first issued DOC Remote Sensing License, the Company cannot anticipate how the DOC specifically will treat our license or how the airborne remote sensing industry will be regulated in the future.  In addition, the Department of State regulates the export of advanced technologies to certain nations.  Our services fall within those regulations and we cannot offer our services in those nations without obtaining a license from the Department of State.

Available Information

            The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and financial information filed by the Company.  The Company maintains an internet site at http://www.earthsearch.com that contains information about the Company’s business, markets and technology.  Information on the Company’s internet site is not incorporated by reference in this report.

Seasonal Nature of Business

The Company experiences the highest demand for its collection services April through October in the Northern Hemisphere and October through April in the Southern Hemisphere.

Customers and Geographic Areas of Business

In fiscal 2007, the Company operated its airborne hyperspectral sensors under contracts with third parties in several areas around the United States.  In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Company’s sensors were operated in the United States and abroad.  Contracts to operate the sensors in the United States as an ecological, mining, agricultural, hydrocarbon, and target identification contributed $91,429 and $302,901, to revenue in fiscal 2007 and 2006 respectively.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company headquarters consist of approximately 1,500 square feet of office space in Lakeside, Montana.

As a 50% member of ESSI Probe I LC, an Idaho limited liability company (“Probe I LC”), the Company owns 50% of the hyper-spectral instrument owned by Probe I LC. The Company shares its ownership with the two other members of ESSI Probe I LC, Arthur W. McClain Trust and Francisco Elmudesi (the “Woodstock members”).  Pursuant to an agreement dated June 3, 1997 (the “Equipment Usage Agreement”), the Company had the right to purchase the hyper-spectral instrument until June 3, 2007 for the purchase price of $2,250,000.  The Company is in the process of negotiating an extension to the renewal period. 
 
The Company’s data collection aircraft, a 1978 turbo prop Aero Commander, was grounded for maintenance and repairs in the summer of 2006. Both engines needed complete overhauls as well as other FAA required servicing. This interruption in the ability to service hyperspectral clients was detrimental to the Company’s revenues in 2006. The aircraft was expected to be ready for the 2007 season.  The aircraft is currently located in Toledo, Ohio at an aero commander facility, National Flight Services.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company was in dispute with another party over a leaseback purchase agreement for a Hyperspectral Probe.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, both parties signed a settlement  agreement (2005 Settlement Agreement) in which the Company was to return the Probe and the Company would be released of amounts owed to the other party as of the date the Probe is returned.  The Company agreed to return the Probe at the end of August 2005.  We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to contact Accuprobe for return of the probe. As a result, in the first quarter of the calendar year 2007, we shipped the probe to an acquaintance of Accuprobe with instructions to hold the probe until Accuprobe provides further instructions. Because we have been unable to reach Accuprobe regarding our return of the probe, we have continued to accrue rents, interest and late fees. As a result, the Company is in default, and based on the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company is obligated to pay significant late fees.  Based on the terms of the settlement agreement, as of March 31, 2007, management estimates the settlement obligation to be $5,434,259 which reflects a 5% late fee imputed each month on the outstanding balance due.  As of March 31, 2007, management has recognized an accrual for the estimated obligation. 
 
In October of 2002, Terranet, Inc. a subsidiary company, received notice of a judgment issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in regards to monies owed resulting from a contract with plaintiff Cal Data Ltd., of Vancouver, B.C. The plaintiff alleged that seventy-five thousand dollars was overdue from invoices for services dating from January of 2002 to October, 2002. Management is examining its position and has accrued a $74,603 liability associated with this demand in its financial statements.

ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

The Company recognized revenue of $91,429 in 2007 compared with $399,742 in 2006. Revenue in 2007 was substantially lower due to the loss or completion and several contracts related to our sensor activities. The Company’s data collection aircraft was grounded in the summer of 2006 due to FAA required maintenance and did not achieve operational status in 2007. Oil and gas revenues during fiscal 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $96,841, respectively. In addition, oil & gas production ceased in fiscal 2006 and all properties impaired.

Provision for loss on impairment of fixed assets was $0 and $27,318 in 2007 and 2006.  General and administrative costs were $5,714,411 in 2007 compared with $1,474,602 in 2006. The increase in general and administrative costs was due primarily to costs associated with capital raising efforts.  In 2007 the Company recognized interest expense of $594,550 compared to $2,297,210 in 2006. The Company recognized net loss from operations of $5,889,080 in fiscal 2007 compared with a net loss from operations of $1,461,954 in fiscal 2006.  The company recognized a net income of $3,648,892 in fiscal 2007 compared with a net loss of $2,189,247 in fiscal 2006.  The increase in income was due to the gain on debt retirement, discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses.  The gain (loss) on a per share basis was $0.04 and $(0.03) in fiscal 2007 and 2006.

The Company indirectly owns interests in seven oil and gas projects through its subsidiary company, Petro Probe, Inc. In 2006, these projects were shut down and fully impaired. No subsequent activity is expected.
 
On March 23, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement (2005 Settlement Agreement) with Accuprobe to return an airborne hyperspectral sensor (Probe) and to settle the outstanding obligations under the related capital lease. Under this agreement, we were required to return the Probe on or before August 31, 2005. In the event that the Probe is not returned, we would be charged a shipping, handling and disposition fee of $250,000, plus rents, interest and late fees. Interest related to the $250,000 begins accruing on September 2, 2005 at an annual rate of prime plus 4%. In addition, rent is to be accrued at $250,000 per year beginning April 10, 2000. Interest on unpaid rent accrues at a rate of prime plus 2% through August 31, 2005 and is due quarterly. After August 31, 2005, interest related to the unpaid rent ceases and is replaced with a 5% late fee calculated on the entire balance due at the end of each month.
 
We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to contact Accuprobe for return of the probe. As a result, in January 2007, we shipped the probe to an acquaintance of Accuprobe with instructions to hold the probe until Accuprobe provides further instructions. Because we have been unable to reach Accuprobe regarding our return of the probe, we have continued to accrue rents, interest and late fees.
 
At March 31, 2006, we had accrued $4,390,016 in debt and interest related to the capital lease of the Probe. Under the settlement agreement, the new liability using the calculations outlined above was $2,820,099 at March 31, 2006. Consequently, we recorded a $1,569,917 gain on debt forgiveness.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2007, we had $23,182 of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $11,951,632. Net cash used in operating activities was $274,632 in 2007.  Net cash used in operating activities was $137,076 in 2006, resulting primarily from payments for salaries and services and changes in current assets and liabilities.
 
In March 2007, we recorded a $10,132,522 net gain on the settlement of certain debt incurred in connection with a U.S. Government project called Naval Earth Map Observer (NEMO). This agreement was originated on January 21, 1999, however, the NEMO project was subsequently cancelled and all work on the project ceased. At that time, the Company, through its subsidiary Space Technology Development Corporation (STDC), recorded liabilities associated with the subcontract agreements totaling $10,132,522. There is no settlement agreement in place with regards to the subsequent recorded gain and the Company has never paid any of the amounts due. As of March 31, 2007, no significant claims had been filed against the Company, STDC or any the Company subsidiaries related to the NEMO contract. STDC ceased performance in November 2000, so any breach of contract would have occurred over six years ago. The Company believes that action against the Company, STDC or any of its subsidiaries would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations under federal law and the laws of California, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Accordingly, we recorded the gain pursuant to SFAS 140.
 
The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends to the holders of its common stock and intends to retain future earnings to finance the expansion and development of its business.
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred loss from operations of $5,889,080 and $1,461,954 for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $58,234,889 and a working capital deficit of $11,951,632 as of March 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
There can be no assurance that additional capital beyond the amounts currently forecasted by the Company will be required or that any such required additional capital will be available on reasonable terms, at such time or times as required by the Company. The Board of Directors has appointed a management committee to examine the option of re-organizing and re-structuring the company to ensure that a viable avenue is available for the attraction of capital. The management committee will also recommend priority new management appointments.
 
In February 2007, two officers of the Company agreed to loan the Company $500,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note. $170,000 of the net loan proceeds were received in March 2007 and the remaining balance was received in April 2007. The note, along with accrued interest, is due in February 28, 2008 and carries a 15% per annum interest rate, compounded monthly. The note is secured by 10,000,000 share of the Company’s common stock, which becomes payable upon default. In addition, the Company received a $250,000 loan from another shareholder, which was received in April 2007.
Significant Accounting Policies

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company evaluates long-lived assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of the related assets.

The Company issues stock as compensation to employees and outside consultants for services rendered.  These shares are recorded at the fair value of the stock as measured on the date or dates the services were rendered.

Future Operations

The Company is actively researching new exploration and exploitation technologies to complement and integrate with its hyperspectral capabilities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
None. 
 
General Synfuels International, Inc., (GSI) a Nevada private company, owns the world-wide proprietary rights, patent, technology, construction plans and materials and operational capability  for a gasification process recover the oil and gas from oil shale. Petro Probe, Inc. signed a non-exclusive license agreement with GSI to obtain the use of these rights in Utah, Wymoing and Colorado. PPI will pay a license fee in the amount of $500,000 and will issue to GSI 500,000 shares of PPI Common Stock, $.001 par value per share.  Such fee will be paid in such amounts and at such times as are agreed to in the future by PPI and GSI.  PPI also assigned to GSI an overriding net revenue interest of five and one-half percent (5½%) of the hydrocarbonaceous products produced by PPI, payable quarterly.
 
PPI is examining various oil shale sites in Colorado and Utah for a test plant. Five acres of premium oil shale land is sought. The test plant is budgeted for approximately $2.75 million as a first stage development cost. This will prove the technology. The second and third stages will cost approximately $8 million more at which time the plant could operate at full capacity.  All development costs will be paid for by PPI.
 
In its search for new complementing technologies, PPI is pursuing an alliance with two other companies in oil shale R&D. Independent Energy Partners, Inc. (IEP) and Phoenix Wyoming Inc., (PWI) both Colorado private companies, have their own non-competing technologies for application in oil shale recovery processes. One is based on micro-wave technology while the other is an adaptation of fuel cell energy.  IEP owns the exclusive rights to a broad, patented Geothermic Fuel CellTM (GFC) method.  (US Patent No. 6,684,948 B1-Apparatus and Method for Healing Subterranean Formations Using Fuel Cells). To economically produce oil and natural gas from unconventional resources such as oil shale, while producing electricity as a byproduct.  IEP also has acquired the mineral property in Rio Blanco County, Colorado on some of the riches "Mahogany Zone" oil shale property in the world, holding an estimated 1.4-2.4 billion barrels of oil. PWI owns certain proprietary intellectual property and methods designed to bring the advantages of microwave technology to an oil shale borehole.
The company believes that this alliance may be beneficial to the Company because:
 
1)
The risk of successful commercial development will be shared.
 
2)
Investment funds should be easier to attract.
 
3)
Permitting, licensing, insurance and lease costs can be shared.
 
4)
Infrastructure and equipment for processing the oil shale products can be shared.
 
5)
The marketing and sale of the oil shale products can be shared.
 
6)
Innovative ideas, market intelligence and competitor intelligence can be shared.
 
7)
Oil shale test sites can be shared, and additional oil shale land can more readily be obtained by the alliance, because an alliance of three technology companies is more likely to successfully develop the oil shale land than a single company working alone.
 
Discussions with IEP and PWI continue.  The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to enter any alliance with either or both of IEP and PWI or that if it is able to enter such an alliance, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
The Company has a development agreement  with Intellisense Corporation LLC,  to design and construct a third generation hyperspectral instrument design. The new instrumentation would allow for faster, less expensive and more precise data collection. The instrument will be based on US Patent No. 7,239,378, Platform based imaging system, granted on July 3, 2007 to the Company's CEO, Larry Vance. The capability to design and maintain new technologies is key to the Company’s success in future operations. It will be a vital component to allow continuing exploration and exploitation of the Earth’s natural resources

Risk Factors That Could Affect Liquidity, Operating Results And Market Price Of Stock

Risks Related to Our Industry

10

Competitive pressures may adversely affect our operating revenues.  The Company has numerous competitors in the remote sensing services (airborne hyperspectral services) and natural resource development industries.  Competition in the remote sensing industry comes from several primary sources, including HyMap, CASI and GER, whose hyperspectral instruments operate within the USA and Ekwan, a new entry from Canada.  Our principal competitors in the natural resource development industry include traditional exploration companies using a variety of other technologies.  Some of our competitors in both remote sensing and natural resource development have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.  Competitive pressures in either industry may materially adversely affect our operating revenues and in turn, our business and financial condition.

The Company may need to expend significant capital to keep pace with technological developments in our industry.  The remote sensing industry, as well as the computing industry’s processing of the raw data, is constantly undergoing development and change and it is likely that new technology, whether embodied in new equipment or techniques, will be introduced in the future.  In order to keep pace with any new developments, the Company is planning to expend significant capital to develop or acquire the next level of developments in new remote sensing equipment and to train our employees in the new techniques.  The Company is pursuing financing to develop additional remote sensing instruments; however, we may not be able to raise sufficient funds, and if the Company does so, there is no guaranty that the new instruments will out perform instruments used by our competitors.  In addition, the Company’s ability to raise needed capital may be influenced by general economic conditions and the strength of capital markets. To ensure its ability to continue operations the Company will undergo a re-organization to include a stock re-structuring.

The Company may incur significant expenses to comply with new or more stringent governmental regulation.  The sale of our imagery is regulated by the Department of Commerce.  Although the Company (through its acquisition of STDC) has acquired a Department of Commerce (DOC) Remote Sensing License that permits the Company to market globally hyperspectral and panchromatic imagery, there is no guarantee that the government will not impose restrictions on sales if the quality of our imagery increases with new technology that, for example, allows increased resolution.  Because our license was the first issued DOC Remote Sensing License, the Company cannot anticipate how the DOC specifically will treat our license or how the airborne remote sensing industry will be regulated in the future.

Risks Related to Our Business

The Company may not realize our anticipated return on capital commitments made to expand our capabilities.  The Company purchased an aircraft, additional satellite and an airborne hyperspectral instrument, as well as oil and gas property rights.  The aircraft and airborne hyperspectral instrument were purchased to increase our capacity to conduct airborne surveys.  If the Company does not experience continued demand for our remote sensing services, the Company may incur significant expense without generating corresponding revenues.  The oil and gas property rights were acquired in order to exploit suspected natural resources located within certain properties.  If these properties do not contain sufficient natural resources to warrant exploitation, the Company may incur significant expenses without generating corresponding revenues.  There are were no prospects for new oil and gas contracts from existing properties in fiscal 2007.

In addition, from time to time, the Company expects to make significant capital expenditures to implement new processes and to increase both efficiency and capacity.  Some of these projects may require additional training for our employees and not all projects may be implemented as anticipated.  If any of these projects do not achieve the anticipated increase in efficiency or capacity, our returns on these capital expenditures may not be as expected.

Our ability to grow is dependent upon, and may be limited by, among other things, our capital structure, the price of our stock and our existing financing arrangements.  If additional funding sources are needed, the Company may not be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to pursue our internal growth and acquisition strategy or, if the Company can obtain additional financing, the additional financing may not be on financial terms that are satisfactory to us.

11

The Company’s database of spectral information may not be marketable or may not garner a price, which makes processing or analyzing the data economically reasonable.  The Company has a substantial archive of Probe 1 hyperspectral imagery that was not gathered under contract with a client.  From time to time, the Company continues to gather hyperspectral imagery without having sold the rights to that data.  The collection process requires variable as well as fixed expenditures that must be recouped though marketing the collected data.  Although we do not carry the value of our existing Probe 1 hyperspectral archives as an asset on our balance sheet, the future success of the Company depends to some extent upon our ability to market this archived data.

Cancellations, reductions or delays in customer orders may adversely affect our results of operations.  Our overall operating results are affected by many factors, including the timing of survey contracts from large clients, the timing of capital expenditures to increase our capacity for gathering data in anticipation of future sales of products and services, and the weather which can affect whether or not a customers target of interest can be collected at a certain stage of vegetal growth.  Although a large portion of our expenses are fixed; a significant portion of our operational expenses vary with the number of airborne surveys.  Because several of our subsidiaries are new businesses and have not obtained long-term commitments from our clients, we must anticipate the future demand for our services based upon our discussions with clients.  Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a client or group of clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The unavailability of skilled personnel may have an adverse effect on our operations.  From time to time, the Company or some of our subsidiaries may experience difficulties in attracting and retaining skilled personnel to process and interpret the substantial volume of imagery data that is already collected or is expected to be collected in the future.  The Company’s ability to operate successfully could be jeopardized if we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel to conduct our business.

ITEM 8.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On June 10, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed the Company's accountants, Grant Thornton, LLP.  Grant Thornton LLP served as the Company's auditor beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. The Board of Directors has appointed Malone & Bailey, PC as the Company’s auditor for the year ended March 31, 2003. They remain as the Company’s current auditors. Malone & Bailey’s office is located at 2925 Briarpark, Suite 930 Houston, TX 77042.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, and through June 30, 2007, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

ITEM 8A.  
 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms or to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   Specifically, our auditors identified adjustments related to several accounting entries concerning cutoff in accounts payable in the amount of $27,927, to adjust the fair value calculations related to stock issued for services in the amount of $673,078, to record imputed interest on related party debt in the amount of $93,155, to correct errors related to interest expense on certain of our outstanding debt in the amount of $19,167, and to correct the entries related to our settlement obligation due to our failure to return the Hyperspectral Probe in the amount of $803,770. These errors, and corresponding adjustments, resulted from error due to lack of experience of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, acting as the Company’s bookkeeper. To strengthen our controls, we have retained the services of an outside consultant to assist with quarterly and annual reviews of our accounting data. All adjustments identified above were recorded in our consolidated financial statements as of  March 31, 2007 and for each interim period reported on Form 10-QSB.  These deficiencies have been reported to our Board of Directors and we intend to improve and strengthen our controls and procedures.
 
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
    Earth Search Sciences, Inc.
    Lakeside, Montana


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Earth Search Sciences, Inc. as of March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Earth Search's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Earth Search Sciences Inc., as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Earth Search will continue as a going concern. Earth Search incurred losses from operations of $5,889,080 and $1,461,954 for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively and has an accumulated deficit of $58,234,889 and a working capital deficit of $11,951,632 as of March 31, 2007. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements; raise substantial doubt about Earth Search's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EARTH SEARCH SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (referred to herein as the "Company" or 'ESSP") collects high value hyperspectral imagery of the Earth's surface utilizing its proprietary hyperspectral imaging sensor, principally in North America.  This imagery is either sold to end users via contracts to collect the information or collected for ESSI's own exploration purposes. ESSI also performs a range of imagery processing services. Information collected by the sensor has applications in natural resources development, environmental monitoring and remediation, wildlife habitat monitoring, hydrocarbon exploration and development, agricultural assessment and planning, including weed species identification, land use planning, forestry monitoring and planning, homeland security and target identification for defense surveillance.

ESSI has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Skywatch Exploration, Inc., Polyspectrum Imaging, Inc., Geoprobe, Inc., and STDC, Inc.  In addition, there are five majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries:  Earth Search Resources, Inc., Eco Probe, Inc., ESSI Probe 1 LC, Petro Probe, Inc. and Terranet, Inc.

All of these subsidiaries are inactive except Petro Probe, which has minimal operating activity.

The majority-owned Petro Probe, Inc. was formed to identify and develop hydrocarbon properties by utilizing ESSI's hyperspectral instruments, hydrocarbon geologists, and imagery processors.

In fiscal 2007 and 2006, ESSI operated its airborne hyperspectral sensors under contracts with third parties in several areas around the United States. Contracts to operate the sensors in the United States as an ecological, agricultural, hydrocarbon, and target identification contributed approximately $91,429 and $302,901 to revenue in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
In previous years, ESSI engaged in several different business activites including our airborne hyperspectral services, satellite development and oil and gas production business lines. However, our current operations are centered around our airborne hyperspectral business for which we had limited operations during fiscal year 2006.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESSI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

ESSI considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

ESSI uses the allowance method of accounting for doubtful accounts. The year-end balance is based on historical collections and management’s review of the current status of existing receivables and estimate as to their collectibility.  Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per year, based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts.

F-6

As of March 31, 2007, the amounts carried in accounts receivable were considered by management to be collectible in full.  As a result, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended March 31, 2007.

FAIR MARKET VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. ESSI recognizes depreciation on its property and equipment using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five years for computers and software, vehicles and equipment to ten years for the two hyperspectral sensors.

Major repairs or replacements of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. Property and equipment retirements are removed from the records at their cost and related accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

ESSI uses the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas properties.  Costs incurred for property acquisition, exploration, and drilling related to its oil and gas properties are capitalized. Once the project is completed, and, if oil or gas is located, costs capitalized to date on the specific project are amortized under the unit-of-production method as revenue is recognized.  Capitalized costs for unsuccessful projects are expensed when that determination is made.
 
Based on the agreements for the working interests in oil and gas properties, ESSI will proportionately share in future revenues as well as future operating and drilling costs.  Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance.
 
Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
 
We account for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires ESSI to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs the legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction development, and/or normal use of the assets. At March 31, 2007, the fair value of the oil and gas properties’ site restoration costs are insignificant. Consequently, there is no accrual at March 31, 2007.
During fiscal years 2006 and 2007, oil and gas activity was minimal and all producing wells were closed and fully imaired as of March 31, 2006.  In addition, the amount retirement obligation related to related to their properties is minimal.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION

ESSI recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  This typically happens when services are rendered under contracts for airborne hyperspectral services and imaging processing services.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ESSI evaluates long-lived assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of the related assets. In Fiscal 2006 ESSI incurred unsuccessful oil and gas properties write-offs of $27,318. Due to the uneconomical nature of the well at March 31, 2006, it was not feasible to estimate future cash flows to be provided by ESSI’s long-lived assets, therefore the assets were fully impaired.

F-7

INCOME TAXES

ESSI recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered.  ESSI provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

MINORITY INTEREST

Losses from subsidiaries with minority interest are allocated to the minority interest liability account based on the percentage of minority interest ownership.  Once losses applicable to the minority interest in the subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity capital of the subsidiary, then no additional losses will be allocated to the minority interest liability account.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Net loss per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of ESSI's common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents have not been considered in the diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect on net loss per share is anti-dilutive.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

ESSI issues stock as compensation to employees and outside consultants for services provided to the company.  These shares are recorded at the fair value of the stock as measured on the date or dates the service was provided.

For the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, ESSI had no stock option issuances.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ESSI does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

F-8

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, ESSI incurred losses from operations of $5,889,080 and $1,461,954 for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively and has an accumulated deficit of $58,234,889 and a working capital deficit of $11,951,632 as of March 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to ESSI’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if ESSI is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDER LOANS

ESSI has financed its operations in part by funds received from advances by shareholders. These advances are in the form of unsecured promissory notes and bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 10%. As of March 31, 2007, stockholder loans totaled $2,698,954 including interest accrued on such advances of $935,060.
 
NOTE 6 - ACCRUED OFFICERS' COMPENSATION

Accrued compensation consists of the cumulative unpaid compensation due to corporate officers (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary). ESSI recorded officer compensation, accrued payroll taxes and accrued interest of $321,852 and $385,991 during fiscal 2007 and 2006, and included these amounts in general and administrative expenses. ESSI is accruing interest on the accrued compensation balances at a rate of 8.5%, compounded quarterly. ESSI is making full salary payments to these officers as cash flow allows.
 
On March 7, 2005, two officers signed releases of deferred compensation and accrued interest totaling $1,657,507. This transaction was considered a contribution to capital.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

ESSI recorded no provision for income taxes in fiscal 2007 and 2006 due to the operating losses incurred from inception to date.

The tax effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities relate to the following:

At March 31, 2007, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

Deferred tax assets
     
Net operating losses
  $
5,200,000
 
Less: valuation allowance
    (5,200,000 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $
-
 

The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $14,850,000 at March 31, 2007, and will expire in the years 2015 through 2027. The deferred tax asset has been fully reserved because ESSI is unable to anticipate future taxable income to realize the potential benefits of the gross deferred tax asset.

The annual amount of tax loss carryforward, which can be utilized, may be limited due to the substantial changes in the company's ownership as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which may occur in the future.  Such limitations could result in the expiration of a part or all of the loss carryforwards before their utilization.
 
NOTE 8 - OFFICER AND DIRECTOR STOCK OPTIONS

In August 1997, the Board of Directors granted performance based options to ESSI's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer to each purchase 12,500 shares of ESSI's stock at exercise prices ranging from $200 per share to $1,000 per share and to ESSI's Secretary to purchase 2,500 shares of ESSI's stock at an exercise price of $200 per share. All of these performance based stock options are exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of vesting.  The options will be deemed vested for each individual if that individual is employed by ESSI on the first date on which the closing market price of ESSI's common stock equals or exceeds the price per share performance targets for 30 consecutive days. The specific vesting criteria for these options are described below:

F-10

When and if the closing market price of common stock equals or exceeds each of the following prices $0.50, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per share for 30 consecutive days, each of the three individuals shall become fully vested with an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock for each milestone at a price equal to the milestone price of $0.50, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per share, exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of vesting.

During fiscal 2001, the Board of Directors approved performance based bonuses in the form of options to ESSI’s officers.  The specific vesting criteria for these options are described below:

10% of options shall be considered vested and bonused as paid in full shares for past services to ESSI; 15% of all options shall become vested and paid in full when ESSI is successful in obtaining a commitment from a strategic partner, financial institution, reputable investment banker or other source in raising capital sufficient to fund the NEMO program (shut down in 2002 - see Note 5); 20% vested and paid in full when successful in raising gross capital of at least $6,000,000; 20% vested and paid in full when successful in raising gross capital of at least $30,000,000; 20% vested and paid in full when successful in raising gross capital of at least $100,000,000; and 15% vested and paid in full in the event the NEMO program is successfully funded.

NOTE 10 –FORGIVENESS OF DEBT

On March 23, 2005, we entered into a settlement agreement with Accuprobe to return an airborne hyperspectral sensor (Probe) and to settle the outstanding obligations under the related capital lease. Under this agreement, we were required to return the Probe on or before August 31, 2005. In the event that the Probe is not returned, we would be charged a shipping, handling and disposition fee of $250,000, plus rents, interest and late fees. Interest related to the $250,000 begins accruing on September 2, 2005 at an annual rate of prime plus 4%. In addition, rent is to be accrued at $250,000 per year beginning April 10, 2000. Interest on unpaid rent accrues at a rate of prime plus 2% through August 31, 2005 and is due quarterly. After August 31, 2005, interest related to the unpaid rent ceases and is replaced with a 5% late fee calculated on the entire balance due at the end of each month.
 
We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to contact Accuprobe for return of the probe. As a result, in January 2007, we shipped the probe to an acquaintance of Accuprobe with instructions to hold the probe until Accuprobe provides further instructions. Because we have been unable to reach Accuprobe regarding our return of the probe, we have continued to accrue rents, interest and late fees.
 
At March 31, 2006, we had accrued $4,390,016 in debt and interest related to the capital lease of the Probe. Under the settlement agreement, the new liability using the calculations outlined above was $2,820,099 at March 31, 2006. Consequently, we recorded a $1,569,917 gain on debt forgiveness.

In March 2007, we recorded a $10,132,522 net gain on the settlement of certain debt incurred in connection with a U.S. Government project called Naval Earth Map Observer (NEMO). This agreement was originated on January 21, 1999, however, the NEMO project was subsequently cancelled and all work on the project ceased. At that time, ESSI, through its subsidiary Space Technology Development Corporation (STDC), recorded liabilities associated with the subcontract agreements totaling $10,132,522. As of March 31, 2007, no significant claims had been filed against ESSI, STDC or any ESSI subsidiaries related to the NEMO contract. STDC ceased performance in November 2000, so any breach of contract would have occurred over six years ago.  Action against ESSI, STDC or any ESSI subsidiary would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations under federal law and the laws of California, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Accordingly, we recognized  the gain pursuant to SFAS 140.
 
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

ESSI was in dispute with another party over a leaseback purchase agreement for a Hyperspectral Probe. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, both parties signed a mutual release in which ESSI was to return the Probe and ESSI would be released of amounts owed to the other party as of the date the Probe is returned. ESSI agreed to return the Probe at the end of August 2005; however, as of the end of fiscal 2006, ESSI has not returned the Probe. As a result, ESSI is in default, and based on the terms of the settlement agreement, ESSI is obligated to pay significant late fees. Based on the terms of the settlement agreement, as of March 31, 2007, management estimates the settlement obligation to be $5,434,259 which reflects a 5% late fee imputed each month on the outstanding balance due. As of March 31, 2007, management has recognized an accrual for the estimated obligation.

In October of 2002, Terranet, Inc. a subsidiary of ESSI, received notice of a judgment issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in regards to monies owed resulting from a contract with plaintiff Cal Data Ltd., of Vancouver, B.C. The plaintiff alleged that seventy-five thousand dollars was overdue from invoices for services dating from January of 2002 to October, 2002. Management is examining its position and has accrued a $74,603 liability associated with this demand in its financial statements.
 
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In February 2007, two officers of the Company agreed to loan ESSI $500,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note.  $170,000 of the net loan proceeds were received in March 2007 and the remaining balance was received in April 2007.  The note, along with accrued interest, is due in February 28, 2008 and carries a 15% per annum interest rate, compounded monthly.  The note is secured by 10,000,000 share of ESSI common stock, which becomes payable upon default.  In addition, ESSI received a $250,000 loan from another shareholder, which was received in April 2007.
