EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation (“IPRC”, the “Company”, “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Comprehensive Form 10-K”) for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and the interim periods within 2009 and 2010. It is being filed by us in order to become current in our filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). This is our first periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2006.

In January 2008, the management agreement between IPRC and Agribiofuels, LLC, an entity in which we own a 20% interest (“ABF”), was terminated.   Upon the termination of the management agreement with ABF, we decided to deconsolidate ABF from our corporate structure because we lacked any ability to control the operating and financial decisions and policies of the entity.  Therefore, the discussions in this Compressive Form 10-K will only include the activities of ABF until January 25, 2008, which is the date of deconsolidation

Included in this Comprehensive Form 10-K are the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006 which have not been previously filed with the SEC. In addition, the Comprehensive Form 10-K also includes select, unaudited quarterly financial information of the Company for 2010 and 2009.  This Comprehensive Form 10-K should be read together and in connection with the other reports filed by us with the SEC for a comprehensive description of our current financial condition and operating results. In the interest of complete and accurate disclosure, we have included current information in this annual report for all material events and developments that have taken place through the date of filing of this annual report with the SEC.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements in this Comprehensive Form 10-K or in other materials we have filed or will file with the SEC are forward-looking in nature as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate to matters of a strictly factual or historical nature and generally discuss or relate to forecasts, estimates or other expectations regarding future events. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, including statements that relate to the effects of economic conditions; the availability of capital; the dependence on key customers; competitive conditions; and the various risks associated with developing and marketing a new process/technology which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements herein.
 
Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only our beliefs at the time the statements were made regarding future events, which are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of our control and certain of which are listed above. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this Comprehensive Form 10-K and in any other materials incorporated by reference herein may turn out to be materially inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions, in some cases based upon internal estimates and analyses of current market conditions and trends, management plans and strategies, economic conditions, or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many of the risks and uncertainties mentioned in this Comprehensive Form 10-K, such as those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations will be important in determining whether these forward-looking statements prove to be accurate. Consequently, neither our shareholders nor any other person should place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements and should recognize that actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by us.
 
All forward-looking statements made in this Comprehensive Form 10-K are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations expressed in this Comprehensive Form 10-K will increase with the passage of time. We undertake no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in our expectations or otherwise. However, we may make further disclosures regarding future events, trends and uncertainties in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K to the extent required under the Exchange Act. The above cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business include factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed above or in Item 3. Legal Proceedings below, including factors unknown to us and factors known to us which we have not determined to be material, could also adversely affect us.
 
 

 
 

 
 
PART I
 
Item 1.
Business
 
General

IPRC was founded in 1990 as a Nevada corporation.  Since 1995 our primary business has been the development, marketing and distribution of our Microwave Separation Technology.  The Company’s offices are located in The Woodlands, Texas.  Our common stock currently listed for quotation on the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. Pink Exchange under the trading symbol “IREC”.

We are a provider of microwave technology to the petroleum and biofuels industries.  We have developed a proprietary, patented process using high-energy microwaves, called Microwave Separation Technology (“MST”), which is designed to treat and eliminate hydrocarbon emulsions.  Our goal is to become a leader in developing and marketing innovative commercial radio frequency (“RF”) energy applications, including MST, that can be used within the petroleum, energy and other industries to treat emulsions containing oil, water, and solids, using our patented technology to recover the oil, enhance process efficiency and improve our customers’ financial performance.

In 2005, we determined it was in best interest of IPRC to focus its business on using its MST technology in the bio-diesel industry.  In connection therewith, IPRC acquired a 20% ownership interest in Agribiofuels, LLC (“ABF”).  In connection, with the acquisition of the ownership interest, IPRC licensed the use of MST to ABF for production in biodiesel production and entered into a management agreement with ABF.  Pursuant to the management agreement with ABF, IPRC licensed its MST technology to ABF and agreed to provide certain general business, financial consultation and advice and management services to ABF in connection with the operation of its business and to provide technology and training in operating MST in the manufacture of biodiesel products.  In January 2008 the license and management agreement with ABF was terminated by ABF   Between 2006 and January 2008, our only source of revenues was pursuant to the management and license agreement with ABF.  Upon the termination of the management agreement with ABF, we decided to deconsolidate ABF from our corporate structure.

We have decided to re-focus our technology to the use by oil and gas refineries. Between January 2008 and August 2009 our  operations were nominal.  In August 2009, IPRC entered into a technical service agreement with Petroleo Barsileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) pursuant to which IPRC agreed to provide a 16 month demonstration project of the MST technology at various locations throughout Brazil. The technical services agreement with Petrobras provided that IPRC would operate a MST 150 unit at a refinery in Brazil and to conduct various tests of emulsions as determined by the technical staff of Petrobras.  Petrobras has agreed to pay in installment payments as follows: the first installment of $230,930 is due upon acceptance of the pre-test report, the second installment of $346,395 is due upon acceptance of the first test report, the third installment of $346,395 is due upon acceptance of the second test report and the fourth installment of $230,930 is due upon the acceptance of the final test report.

In fiscal 2009, Petrobras accepted our pre-test report and remitted the first installment of $230,930 to us on November 17, 2009.  In September 2010, Petrobras accepted our first technical report and remitted the second installment of $346.395.  IPRC is currently working on the second technical report and expects to submit this report no later than November 30, 2011. The third technical report is expected to be completed and submitted by December 31, 2011.  Petrobras has the option to purchase the MST unit, purchase additional units at set prices and/or manufacture the MST unites for use in Brazil.

Due to delays associated with the original shipment and customs release, the MST 150 was not released to Petrobras until May 2010, which represented a delay of about 4 months.  The parties agreed to an amendment to the technical service agreement due to the delay, which included an additional installment payment to IPRC of $281,000 which is due upon approval by Petrobras and an extension of the original contract term until November 2011.

Fiscal Year 2006 Events 

ABF. In connection with the management services agreement with ABF, IPRC received a monthly management fee from ABF of $75,000 from August 2005 through December 2006, which was raised to $120,000 per month effective January 2006.  In 2006, ABF acquired 25 acres of land in Dayton Texas.  IPRC relocated its corporate offices to the Dayton site in June 2006 and construction of the biodiesel plant began in August 2006.  The plant was completed December 8, 2006.

Forbearance Agreement.   Effective as of January 1, 2006, we entered into a second forbearance agreement in connection with a marketing agreement, dated October 6, 1999, between the Company and Mobil Technology Company (“MTC”), pursuant to which we owe the successor in interest to MTC a principal amount of $1,000,000.  Pursuant to the 1999 agreement, MTC provided IPRC a $1,000,000 security deposit, which IPRC was to repay on August 10, 2003.   Pursuant to the first forbearance agreement, dated June 8, 2004, if the Company entered into a contract for the sale, or license of one or more MST units by October 31, 2004, the Company was obligated to pay off the security deposit in six (6) quarterly installments.  If IPRC failed to enter into a contract for the sale, or license of one or more MST units by October 31, 2005 or failed to payoff the security deposit by December 31, 2005, then IPRC would accrue interest on the unpaid security deposit plus any accrued interest, at a rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank (New York) at the close of business on the last business day of the calendar year immediately preceding each respective year plus 4%.  Under the second forbearance agreement, we agreed to pay the successor in interest of MTC a total of $500,000 by December 31, 2006, of which $200,000 shall be paid on or before March 1, 2006, $75,000 on or before March 31, 2006, $75,000 on or before June 30, 2006, $75,000 on or before September 30, 2006 and $75,000 on or before December 31, 2006.  As long as this second forbearance agreement is not in default the successor shall waive the remaining principal balance as well as any accrued interest that may have been owed under the agreement.
 
Closing of Private Placement.  In 2005 and 2006, we closed on a private placement consisting of convertible notes, convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $.15 per share (none of which have been converted as of the date hereof), from which we raised gross proceeds of $2,175,000.  The sale and issuance of the securities in the private placement were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as privately negotiated, isolated, non-recurring transactions not involving any public offer or solicitation.  Each purchaser represented that such purchaser’s intention to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

Bonus and Equity Awards.  In May 2006, our board of directors approved the payment of year-end bonuses to our executive officers totaling approximately $18,000.  In addition, the salaries of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer were increased to $224,400 per year and $108,000 per year, respectively, each effective January 1, 2007.  In addition, the Company issued 813,151 shares to former officers to settle accrued but unpaid salaries.

Fiscal Year 2007 Events 

Biodiesel Subsidies.  During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, key funding from the State of Texas in the form of a subsidy for biodiesel production was withdrawn from ABF.  This had a dramatic impact on our and ABF’s ability to secure the necessary funding to complete the biodiesel production program.  Without the additional funding to expand ABF’s plant, the incorporation of the MST technology became economically infeasible.
 
Forbearance Agreement.  Final payment under the second forbearance agreement between the Company and MTC was made on December 31, 2006 and MTC waived the remainder of the monies owed under the marketing agreement with MTC.  See discussion in Fiscal Year 2006 Events.
 
Default on 2004-2005 Convertible Notes.  In fiscal 2004 and 2005, we issued notes in the principal amount of $2,175,000.  The notes initially accrued interest at 12% per annum and were due and payable at various times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.  None of the convertible notes were converted or paid in full as of October 31, 2007.   The Company extended notes with the aggregate original principal amount of   $575,000 to June 1, 2008 and one note in the original principal amount of $50,000 was further extended to January 1, 2010.  As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the Company was in default on the remaining notes which represent the aggregate original principal amount of $1,600,000. None of the holders of the convertible notes has made demand on the notes.   Per the agreement upon default the notes accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum.
 
Expiration of  2004-2005 Warrants.  In connection with the issuance of convertible notes in fiscal 2004 and 2005, we issued warrants to purchase 7,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  None of these warrants were exercised.  These warrants expired during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

Fiscal Year 2008 Events 

Termination of ABF Management Agreement and License.  In January 2008, ABF terminated the management agreement with IPRC, and continues to operate the biodiesel plant independently of IPRC.  IPRC is still a 20% equity owner of ABF, but deconsolidated ABF from its corporate structure due to the lack of operating and financial control.

Resignation of Chief Financial Officer and Director.  Effective January 25, 2008, Ed Gaiennie resigned as chief financial officer of IPRC.  On February 4, 2008, A.V. McGraw resigned as a member of the board of directors, leaving Mr. Springer and James Hammond as the remaining members of the board.

Employment Agreements.  Effective Feb 8, 2008, IPRC and Alan Springer, Chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, entered into a new three year employment agreement.  Mr. Springer’s base salary for was increased to $275,000, with another increase to $325,000 per year effective on the third anniversary of the new employment agreement.   The Agreement specified that if operations are not sufficient to generate sufficient cash flow to meet all payroll obligations, the gross amount will be accrued and paid in full when funding is available.

Petrobras Agreement.  Due to delays associated with the original shipment and customs release, the MST 150 was not released to Petrobras until May 2010, which represented a delay of about 4 months.  The parties agreed to an amendment to the technical service agreement due to the delay, which included the increase of the total purchase price from $1,154,650 to $1,435,650 and extended the contract term until November 2011.  Pursuant to the amendment, Petrobras agreed to an additional installment payment of $281,000 caused by the delays in custom for a total of 5 installment payments..  Pursuant to the amendment, the first installment of $230,930 is due upon acceptance of the pre-test report, the second installment of $346,395 is due upon acceptance of the first test report, the third installment of $281,000 for the delay in customs is due upon approval of Petrobras, the fourth installment of $346,395 is due upon acceptance of the second test report and the fifth installment of $230,930 is due upon the acceptance of the final test report.

Our Current Business
 
General

We currently offer MST to the oil field industry and are developing the use of MST in the marine industry and in the production of biodiesel.  MST technology uses RF to separate water and oil emulsions. Emulsions are homogenous mixtures of oil and water components (or other normally immiscible components).

Oil and Gas Industry

Produced oil contains water that is costly to transport and damaging to infrastructure.  MST applies RF energy to separate the water and oil emulsions, allowing the removal of the water and solids and enhancing the production of the oil.  The RF energy breaks the emulsion by preferentially heating the water inside the oil matrix, which creates differences in surface tension and viscosity.  After RF energy is applied, the materials are pumped into a separation tank. If immediate separation is required, a centrifuge can be utilized.  The separated oil is then pumped into holding tanks for shipment to customers.  The separated water and sediments can be handled in accordance with the customer’s environmental regulations.

The oil and gas industry is a complex, multi-disciplinary sector that varies greatly across geographies. As a heavily regulated industry, operating conditions are subject to political regimes and changing legislation. Governments can either induce or deter investment in exploration and production, depending on legal requirements, fiscal and royalty structures and regulation.  In addition, Oil and gas prices determine the commercial feasibility of a project.  Certain projects may become feasible with higher prices or, conversely, may falter with lower prices. Volatility in the price of oil, gas and other commodities has increased during the last few years, complicating the assessment of revenue projections.  Most governments have enforced strict regulations to uphold high standards of environmental awareness; thus, holding companies to a high degree of responsibility vis à vis protecting the environment.

We have designed several different MST systems to be used in the oil and gas industry to facilitate the separation of water and oil emulsions; the MST-1000, MST-2000, MST-4000 and MST-5000.  These systems are designed to process between 1000 barrels per day (bpd) up to 5000 bpd.  We also have designed a self-contained mobile system, the MST 150, which has its own power and separation capabilities.  This allows it to be deployed to remote areas and operate independently.  Because it is a mobile system, the MST 150 can assists us in demonstrating to possible customers the effectiveness of the large scale MST 1000 series in resolving various emulsion or process applications.

The stated goal of our finished oil recovered from the emulsions is a product that is 98% free of water and solids; e.g., refinery grade crude.  Each MST system is computer-controlled and contains all the elements needed to reclaim oil from oil emulsion and “rag layer” water located in refineries, tank storage and waste pits. In its initial refinery application, the MST system has been used to improve the efficiency of desalination operations.  MST systems are modular and can be conjoined to handle larger capacity requirements as required by the customer.

Each MST system includes the following components:

·  
A patented microwave applicator;
·  
A microwave transmitter;
·  
Waveguides and auto tuner;
·  
Instrumentation and computer automation;
·  
Pumps and drives;
·  
If required, a separation unit; and
·  
Safety monitors and failsafe interlocking system.

The Company offers its products for sale or lease directly to end-users or can provide the services to an end-user through a specific marketing partnership.

Marine Industry

We currently have a provisional patent  for the use of MST in marine on-board systems.  The Marine Industry MST is under development to improve the efficiency of bilge water handling aboard large ships.  Bilge water is a mixture of water and a very small percentage of oil that probably is inadvertently diverted from the engine.  Companies that have ships typically try to have systems on-board to capture this small percentage of oil (<1%) so that they avert the risk of heavy fines should the bilge with oil be accidentally discharged since it causes significant environmental problems.

Testing has conducted employing the existing laboratory MST to treat bilge samples taken from several cruise ships ported in Galveston, Texas.  Initial tests were extremely successful in demonstrating the application of the MST to enhance the separation of existing on-board bilge water processing systems.  While the Company intends to continue to research,  develop and/or refine marketing plans to penetrate the marine industry, MST use in the marine industry is in its early stages of development and there is no guarantee that it will be successful.

Biodiesel

We currently have a provisional pending for the use of MST in the production of biodiesel.  In 2005, we began laboratory and field trials to determine the value of employing MST technology to enhance the throughput and settling times for existing biodiesel production processes, in response to the Federal Directives outlined in the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 and related legislation in the United States and the European Union.

The State of Texas’ elimination of  its tax subsidies related to production of bio-diesel has made the current pursuit of the use of our MST technology for the production of bio-diesel fuels infeasible.  If the economic situation is changed by rule of law or otherwise, the Company will review whether or not to re-enter the bio-diesel fuels market.

Research and Development

Our research and development costs for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006, October 31, 2007, October 31, 2008, October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010 was nominal.  We incurred no research and development costs for the first years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009.  We incurred research and development costs of $17,245, $153, $78,479 for October 31, 2008, October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively.

Customers

We intend to market our technology by entering into strategic partnerships with third parties who can market and sell our products world-wide.  We have established working relationships with several prominent engineering companies that are currently working within the petroleum industry.  It is our intent to establish suitable joint ventures (JV) with one or more of these companies as a means to penetrate these industries.

Currently, we have only leased two MST units and sold one MST unit.  However, there are more than 700 oil refineries worldwide with 149 of these located in the United States]. Each is a potential customer of the Company.  The Company’s marketing strategy is to:

·  
Focus on commercialization of microwave technology
·  
Concentrate initially on the 45 refineries in Texas and Louisiana
·  
Execute existing pipeline of contacts and leads.

Competition

Oil and Gas Industry

The Company's competitors are firms that employ heat, pressure, chemical and centrifuge processes to dispose of solid and oily non-hazardous oil field wastes.  We believe that our products will compete with these products principally on the basis of improved and extended efficacy and reduction in environmental risks.

We believe that our most significant competitors are fully integrated oil and gas processing companies. Smaller companies may also be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with oil and gas industry companies. The Company’s competitors are national, regional and local, including recognizable companies such as BJ Services, Baker Hughes and Suez.  The Company anticipates that it will face additional competition from new entrants that provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by the Company.  Many of these competitors have greater name recognition and resources than the Company.

Marine Industry

Currently, the marine industry uses systems that are on board consisting of water/oil separators; centrifuge systems; chemical systems that add specific chemical compounds to help separate the oil from the bilge water.  Almost without exception these on-board systems do not collect all the oil in the bilge which results in the ships having to pump out the bilge when they get to port and have the bilge transported to a facility that specializes in these processes using heat, chemicals and centrifuges.   We believe that our products will compete with these products principally on the basis of improved and extended efficacy and reduction in environmental risks.

The Company believes that some of its current competitors have significantly greater resources, experience and research and development capabilities.

Protection of Intellectual Property

The technology used in the MST process is proprietary.  The Company has been issued three United States patents to protect its design, has 2 provisional patents for the use of MST in the marine industry and in the production of biodiesel and may seek additional patents in the future.  There can be no assurance that any future patent applications will result in patents being issued. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the Company’s patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology.  In addition, there can be no guarantee that the patents will not be infringed upon, designed around by others, or challenged and held to be invalid or unenforceable.  Proprietary rights relating to the Company's products and processes generally will be protected from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are maintained in confidence as trade secrets.  In the absence of patent protection, competitors who independently develop substantially equivalent technology may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Third-party patents relating to technology utilized by the Company may now exist or may be issued in the future.  The Company may need to acquire licenses or contest the validity of any such patents.  Significant funds may be required to defend against third party claims of patent infringement. Any such claim could adversely affect the Company until the claim is resolved.  Furthermore, any such dispute could result in a rejection of any patent applications or the invalidation of any patents the Company owns.  There can be no assurance that any license required under any such patent would be available to the Company or, if available, available on acceptable terms.  In addition, there is no guarantee that the Company would prevail in any litigation involving such patent.  Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations.

The Company seeks to protect the technology used in the MST process in part by confidentiality agreements with its advisors, employees, consultants, suppliers and vendors.  The Company also protects its technology by building interlocking security measures into its products.  There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements and security measures will not be breached or that competitors will not discover the Company’s trade secrets.  In addition, there can be no assurance that persons or institutions providing research to the Company will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of such research.

Suppliers

The Company primarily uses standard parts and components from a variety of suppliers to produce the hardware for its products.  Certain components are currently available only from a few limited sources.  To date, the Company has not had difficulty obtaining parts and components in sufficient quantity in a timely manner.  Several Houston-based fabrication companies have been identified to manufacture MST systems as required.  These firms meet the fabrication standards required by petroleum companies worldwide.  The Company does not expect to have difficulty fabricating, testing and delivering machines if and when sales of MST systems accelerate.

Government Regulation

The Company’s products are subject to various federal, local, state and international laws and regulations as well as regulations relating to occupational health and safety and the environment including regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.   Failure to comply with these occupational health and safety and environmental laws and regulations or associated permits may result in the assessment of fines and penalties and the imposition of investigatory and remedial obligations.  The Company believes that its products meet or exceed all applicable safety and environmental regulations.  All units will be manufactured to meet United States, Canadian and European standards for construction and safety.

Governmental provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, have had, and will continue to have, an effect on us and on our operations. Under some environmental laws, we may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of environmental contamination on or emanating from our properties and at off-site locations where we disposed or arranged for the disposal or treatment of regulated materials, and may also incur liability for damages to natural resources. We do not believe that compliance with environmental protection laws and regulations will have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, revenues (if any) or competitive position, although there can be no assurance to that effect. We believe that any liability that may result from the resolution of environmental matters for which sufficient information is available to support cost estimates will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict the effect on our financial position of expenditures for aspects of certain matters for which there is insufficient information. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of compliance with environmental laws and regulations with respect to unknown environmental matters or future environmental requirements on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flow.

We are also subject to a variety of regulations relating to the production and handling of our products, as well as the conduct and condition of our production facilities. We do not believe that these regulatory requirements will have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Employees

As October 31, 2006, we had 8 full time employees.  As of October 31, 2007, we had 8 full time employees.  As of October 31, 2008, we had 1 full time employee and 1 part time consultant.  As of October 31, 2009, we had 1 full time employee and 1 part time consultant.  As of October 31, 2010, we had an employee and 1 part time consultant.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves various risks. When considering an investment in IPRC, one should consider carefully all of the risk factors described below, as well as other information included and incorporated by reference in this report. There may be additional risks, uncertainties and matters not listed below, that we are unaware of, or that we currently consider immaterial. Any of these could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and, thus, the value of an investment in our Company.

Risks Related to our Industry
 
Demand for oil and natural gas is subject to factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect our operating results. The continuing weakness or further deterioration of the global economy or credit market could reduce our customers’ spending levels and reduce our revenues and operating results.

Demand for oil and natural gas, as well as the demand for our services, is highly correlated with global economic growth.  The slowdown in global economic growth and recession in the developed economies has resulted in reduced demand for oil and natural gas, increased spare productive capacity and lower energy prices. The continuing weakness or further deterioration of the global economy or credit market could reduce our customers’ spending levels and reduce our revenues and operating results. In addition, demand for oil and natural gas could be impacted by environmental regulation or carbon taxes targeting reduction of greenhouse gas emissions or the cost for carbon capture and sequestration related regulations.

Volatility of oil and natural gas prices can adversely affect demand for our products and services.

Volatility in oil and natural gas prices can also impact our customers’ activity levels and spending for our products and services. Current energy prices are important contributors to cash flow for our customers and their ability to fund exploration and development activities. Expectations about future prices and price volatility are important for determining future spending levels.  Lower oil and gas prices generally lead to decreased spending by our customers. While higher oil and natural gas prices generally lead to increased spending by our customers, sustained high energy prices can be an impediment to economic growth, and can therefore negatively impact spending by our customers. Our customers also take into account the volatility of energy prices and other risk factors by requiring higher returns for individual projects if there is higher perceived risk. Any of these factors could affect the demand for oil and natural gas and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Many of our customers’ activity levels and spending for our products and services and ability to pay amounts owed us may be impacted by deterioration in the credit markets.
     
Access to capital is dependent on our customers’ ability to access the funds necessary to develop economically attractive projects based upon their expectations of future energy prices, required investments and resulting returns. Limited access to external sources of funding has caused many customers to reduce their capital spending plans to levels supported by internally-generated cash flow.  In addition, the combination of a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may impact the ability of our customers to pay amounts owed to us.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency any jurisdiction where we might conduct our business activities, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.  The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate profitably.
Risks Associated with our Company

If we do not receive the future payments pursuant to the Petrobras Agreement, as expected, it will have a materially adverse impact on our results of operation and financial condition.

Currently, our only revenue is from the Petrobras Agreement.   If the payments by Petrobras are not made, will have no revenues which would materially impact our financing condition.  We would either need to raise funds from third parties, lease or sale or technology to another third party or curtail operations.  Currently, we do not have any agreements for third party funding or for the sale or lease of our technology.

Because our continuation as a going concern is in doubt, we will be forced to cease business operations unless we can generate profitable operations in the future.

We have incurred losses since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $20,514,383 at October 31, 2010.   As a result, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and to obtain the necessary financing and equity to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. If we cannot raise funds to meet our obligations, we will become further insolvent and will cease business operations.

We derive all of our revenues from foreign sales, which pose additional risks including economic, political and other uncertainties.

All of our revenue is from the Petrobras Agreement, which is related to the use of MST technology in Brazil. We believe that export sales will remain a significant percentage of our revenue. Our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could make it more difficult for our overseas customers to meet their U.S. dollar obligations. In addition, sales of our products to customers operating in foreign countries that experience political/economic instability or armed conflict could result in difficulties in delivering and installing complete seismic energy source systems within those geographic areas and receiving payment from these customers. Furthermore, restrictions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar legislation in their countries, or trade embargoes or similar restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other countries could limit our ability to do business in certain foreign countries. These factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
There can be no assurance the Company will successfully implement its plans.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 we had net losses of $777,923  Our accumulated deficit at October 31, 2010 was $20,514,383.  We expect losses in the future periods.  Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business which seeks to obtain funds to finance its operations in a highly competitive environment.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully implement any of its plans in a timely or effective manner or that we will ever be profitable.

We have a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.

We had $346,395 in gross revenues during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, related solely to the Petrobras agreement.  As of October 31, 2010, the Company had cash of $64,927.  The Company's current burn rate is $20,000 per month.   As the operations of the Company continue to ramp up, our burn rate is expected to increase to $28,000 per month.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be able to generate sufficient capital from operations.  Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds from financings to fund its working capital requirements, or if financings occur, that they would be completed on terms favorable to the Company.  Failure to raise necessary working capital will cause us to curtail operations.

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business.

Any investment in us should be considered a high-risk investment because investors will be placing funds at risk in a development stage business with unforeseen costs, expenses, competition, a history of operating losses and other problems. Investors should not invest in us unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.  Your investment must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties encountered in establishing a new technology in a highly competitive and mature industry.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any profits for the foreseeable future.

Current economic conditions and capital markets are in a period of disruption and instability which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets, and thus adversely affect our business and liquidity.
 
The current economic conditions and financial crisis have had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets, and thus have a negative impact on our business and liquidity. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could lead to an extended worldwide recession. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the capital markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets has been and continues to be severely restricted at a time when we need to access such markets, which could have a negative impact on our business plans. Even if we are able to raise capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot predict the occurrence of future financial disruptions or how long the current market conditions may continue.

Our resources may not be sufficient to manage our expected growth; failure to properly manage our potential growth would be detrimental to our business.

We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. Any growth in our operations will place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.

If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. As with all expanding businesses, the potential exists that growth will occur rapidly. If we are unable to effectively manage this growth, our business and operating results could suffer. Anticipated growth in future operations may place a significant strain on management systems and resources. In addition, the integration of new personnel will continue to result in some disruption to ongoing operations. The ability to effectively manage growth in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We will need to continue to improve operational, financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force.

Local legal and regulatory systems in which we operate may create uncertainty regarding our rights and operating activities, which may harm our ability to do business.
 
We are a company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and are subject to United States laws and regulations. The jurisdictions in which we intend to operate our exploration, development and production activities may have different or less developed legal systems than the United States, which may result in risks such as:

·  
effective legal redress in the courts of such jurisdictions, whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or, in an ownership dispute, being more difficult to obtain;
·  
a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities;
·  
the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations;
·  
inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; and
·  
relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters.

In certain jurisdictions the commitment of local business people, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licenses and agreements for business. These licenses and agreements may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. Property right transfers, joint ventures, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements pursuant to which we operate may be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities and the effectiveness of and enforcement of our rights under such arrangements in these jurisdictions may be impaired.

We operate in a highly competitive environment, which may adversely affect our ability to succeed.

We operate in a highly competitive environment for marketing energy related technology and services. Companies with more resources than we have available will be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products and services that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and services, and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because they have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Increased competition could require us to reduce the price for our product.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Uninsured claims and litigation could adversely impact our operating results.

Since January 2008 we do not have insurance coverage against operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims related to our products and services. As a result, we could be impacted by the outcome of pending litigation as well as unexpected litigation or proceedings. Whenever possible, we obtain agreements from customers that limit our liability, however such agreements do not provide complete protection against losses and risks.  In the event we are subject to litigation or liabilities arising from our products or services, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

The loss of Alan Springer, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, could adversely impact the Company.

The nature of our business, including our ability to continue our development of MST application, depends, in large part, on the efforts of Alan Springer.  The loss of Mr. Springer could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Our failure to timely file certain periodic reports with the SEC poses significant risks to our business, each of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We failed to file our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended January 31, 2007, April 30, 2007, July 31, 2007, January 31, 2008, April 30, 2008, July 31, 2008, January 31, 2009, April 30, 2009, July 31, 2009, January 31, 2010, April 30, 2010, and July 31, 2010.  Consequently, we were not compliant with the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.  Our failure to timely file those and possibly future periodic reports with the SEC could subject us to enforcement action by the SEC and shareholder lawsuits.  Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to register with the SEC public offerings of our securities for our benefit or the benefit of our security holders.  Additionally, our failure to file our past periodic reports and future periodic reports has resulted in and could result in investors not receiving adequate information regarding the Company with which to make investment decisions.
 
We do not expect to be able to access the public U.S. capital markets until all of its periodic reporting with the SEC is up to date.

We will be unable to register our common stock with the SEC to access the U.S. public securities markets until we have filed its prior periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC. This precludes us from raising debt or equity financing in registered transactions in the U.S. public capital markets to support growth in its business plan.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC “pink sheets” market which does not provide investors with a meaningful degree of liquidity.

Bid quotations for our common stock are available on the OTC “pink sheets,” an electronic quotation service for securities traded over-the-counter. Bid quotations on the pink sheets can be sporadic and the pink sheets do not provide any meaningful liquidity to investors. An investor may find it difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be listed on a national exchange such as The NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange or another securities exchange once we become current in our filing obligations with the SEC.
 
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market price and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include:

·  
changes in earnings or variations in operating results;
·  
changes in the value of our portfolio of investments;
·  
any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;
·  
changes in accounting principles or changes in interpretations of existing principles, which could affect our financial results;
·  
changes in legislation or regulatory policies, practices, or actions;
·  
the commencement or outcome of material litigation involving our company, our general industry or both;
·  
changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
·  
actual or expected sales of our common stock by our stockholders;
·  
departure of our investment adviser’s key personnel; and
·  
general economic trends and other external factors.
  
A low market price may severely limit the potential market for the Company’s common stock.

An equity security that trades below a certain price per share is subject to SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers.  These rules generally apply to any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”).  Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors.  For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market.  Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer.

 
-11-

 
Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  In the event our common stock trades at a price of less than $5.00 per share, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

The Company will not pay dividends on its common stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Control by current shareholders.

The current shareholders have elected the directors and the directors have appointed current executive officers to serve the Company.  The voting power of these shareholders could also discourage others from seeking to acquire control of us through the purchase of our common stock which might depress the price of our common stock. 

If we raise additional cash through the sale of equity, this will dilute existing shareholders.

Any sale of new common shares will result in dilution of existing shareholders, which will result in a further decrease in share value. We have issued large numbers of unregistered, restricted common shares to acquire our participation interests and as an inducement for debt investors.  We have also sold unregistered restricted, common shares and used shares to pay various expenses.  The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of our development cost is through additional debt financing; however, we do not have any commitments from third parties to provide such financing. Because we have limited revenues, and no profits or cash flow, we do not have access to traditional credit markets.

Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are and will be met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2.   Properties

As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, our primary executive and administrative offices were located at 61 S. Concord Forest Circle, The Woodlands, Texas 77381. This facility, which is leased rent free to IPRC from Mr. Springer.  We consider these facilities to be adequate for our operating needs.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit as of $20,514,383 as of October 31, 2010 and a negative working capital of $5,237,745 as of the same date.  The Company generated minimal revenues in its operations in 2010 and the Company continues to be dependent on its ability to generate future revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in generating future revenues, in obtaining additional debt or equity financing or that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Contractual Obligations

The Company currently has no long term contractual obligations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006, October 31, 2007, October 31, 2008, October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2010, the Company did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Overview
 
With the assistance of consultants and outside counsel, current management has focused its resources on undertaking the project of completing all of IPRC’s delinquent periodic reports and the related financial statements as soon as practicable. Given our lack of resources, the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and management’s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting was not conducted until April 2011. As a result of this evaluation, the Company has determined that its assessments and evaluations of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for purposes of this Comprehensive Form 10-K will be based upon the evaluations and assessments made as of April 2011.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
IPRC conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of October 31, 2010, carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who also serves as our principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO concluded that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, described below, as well as our inability to timely file our annual and quarterly financial statements and periodic reports with the SEC, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2010. Additionally, although no such evaluation was performed as of October 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006, periods that are covered by this Comprehensive Form 10-K, management believes that based upon the evaluation made as of October 31, 2010 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Overview of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:

·  
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
·  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
·  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating and evaluating the controls and procedures. Because of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that internal control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management’s Assessment of the Effectiveness of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. As of October 31, 2010, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and Commission guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers.
 
 
-21-

 
Based on that assessment, management concluded that such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2010 and that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as more fully described below. Additionally, although no such assessment was performed for October 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006, periods that are covered by this Comprehensive Form 10-K, management believes the material weakness identified in the internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2010 also existed as of those prior periods as well.
 
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following internal control over financial reporting deficiency that represented a material weakness as of October 31, 2010:
 
Control Environment. The Company did not maintain an effective overall control environment, which is the foundation for effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the termination of our involvement with ABF and the significant reduction in certain other business operations, we had minimal staff able to handle accounting operations during the periods covered by this Comprehensive Form 10-K. Additionally, during this period, the Company did not maintain a sufficient number of financial and accounting staff personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in order to timely provide accurate and reliable financial statements of the Company that were prepared and reviewed in accordance with GAAP. Because of the control environment weakness described above:

·  
the Company was not able to effectively maintain its accounting and financial reporting for the years 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006 on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company did not have processes in place to provide timely  preparation or supervisory review of its financial statements and significant accounting transactions during these periods; and

·  
the Company did not maintain an accounting policy function that was timely in the review and updating of Company accounting policies and procedures and the evaluation of significant Company transactions during the period from 2006 to 2010.

Until our material weaknesses are remediated, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have engaged experienced financial and accounting consultants to assist in the preparation of the financial statements for the periods covered by this Comprehensive Form 10-K, as well as the Company’s other delinquent periodic reports. We expect to engage new, experienced accounting and finance employees to oversee the accounting function on a go-forward basis.
 
Notwithstanding the assessment that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified in this Comprehensive Form 10-K, the Company believes that the financial statements contained in this Comprehensive Form 10-K, fairly and accurately present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the years ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, in all material respects.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this Comprehensive 10-K, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than the material weakness as described above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Company does not have a separately standing compensation committee, and therefore such role is assumed by the entire board of directors.  None of the Company’s executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer that serves on the Company’s board of directors or Compensation Committee.  No member of the Company’s board of directors is an executive officer of a company in which one of the Company’s executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

Item 12.   Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Referred Shareholder Matters.
 
As of October 18, 2011, 48,478,180 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.  The following table sets forth, as of October 18, 2011, certain information with respect to shares beneficially owned by: (a) each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, (b) each director or nominee for director, (c) each named executive officers, and (d) all current directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.  Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within sixty days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 



The Board of Directors
Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation
Woodlands, Texas


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation and its Subsidiaries  (collectively the “Company”) as of October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation as of December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.
Organization and business activity

Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation ( “IPRC”), a Nevada corporation, incorporated in 1982 commenced operations in the fiscal year 1995 and is committed to developing and marketing a proprietary oil sludge remediation process and microwave separation technology equipment (MST units) that use high energy microwaves to separate water, oil and solids.

Agribiofuels, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, (“Agribiofuels” or “ABF”) is an entity in which the Company owns 20% of the members’ equity.   Agribiofuels started its operations on December 8, 2006 and sells biodiesel fuel from various feedstocks.

Petrowave Corporation (“Petrowave”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is engaged in R&D efforts.  It was dissolved in 2010 since all R&D would be conducted under IPRC.

2.  
Principles of consolidation and financial statement presentation

We consolidate entities when we have the ability to control the operating and financial decisions and policies of the entity.  The determination of our ability to control or exert significant influence over an entity involves the use of judgment.  We apply the equity method of accounting where we can exert significant influence over, but do not control the policies and decisions of an entity.   We use the cost method of accounting where we are unable to exert significant influence over the entity.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of IPRC, Petrowave and Agribiofuels (collectively the “Company”, “we”, “our”).   IPRC is the manager of Agribiofuels pursuant to a management agreement which requires the former to be consolidated with IPRC in accordance with the requirements applicable to variable interest entities.   Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Effective January 25, 2008, IPRC’s management agreement with Agribiofuels was terminated.  As a result, IPRC has deconsolidated Agribiofuels and has recognized a gain on deconsolidation amounting to $1,134,295 during the year ended October 31, 2008, which represents IPRC’s share in the carrying amount of Agribiofuel’s net liabilities that were removed in deconsolidation, and is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
At January 25, 2008, the date of deconsolidation, summarized balance sheet information for Agribiofuels was as follows:
 
       
Current assets
  $ 1,765,911  
Noncurrent assets
    2,871,684  
Current liabilities
    (2,779,629
Noncontrolling interest
    (7,529,440
         
Net liabilities
  $ (5,671,474 )  
 
3.
Use of estimates

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

4.
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements in order to conform to the 2006-2010 financial statements presentation.

5.
Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 
F-10

 
6.   Short-term investments
 
Short-term investments consist of investments with original maturities greater than three months and less than one year.  The Company invests in certificates of deposit (CDs) valued at $105,164 and $100,000 as of October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which have a term of 10 months.

7.
Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the weighted average method.   Subsequent to the deconsolidation, our inventory balance was zero. The balance at October 31, 2007 and 2006 represents Agribiofuels’ inventory and consists of the following:

   
2007
   
2006
 
Raw materials
Finished goods (biodiesel)

111,538
 -
 
    $ 1,225,690     $ 111,538  

8.
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and commences when the asset is placed in service. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Upon the sale of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet, and any gains or losses on those assets are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations of the respective period.

The straight-line method estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and improvements
3 ~ 25 years
Machinery and equipment
2 ~ 10 years
Demonstration equipment
7 years
Tanks
5 ~ 20 years
Transportation equipment
4 ~ 7 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
1 ~ 5 years

9.
Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of patents which are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or statutory lives whichever is shorter and are reviewed for impairment upon any triggering event that may give rise to the assets ultimate recoverability as prescribed under the guidance related to impairment of long-lived assets.

10.
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 through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. During 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

11.
Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 
F-11

 
The carrying value reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. Management believes that long-term debt bears interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying values for these instruments approximate fair value

12.
Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss are transferred, collectability is reasonably assured, product returns are reasonably estimable and there are no remaining significant obligations or customer acceptance requirements.

Revenue from sales of biodiesel is recognized when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, which is typically upon shipment.

Revenue from technical services provided related to IPRC’s Microwave Separation Technology (MST) equipment are recognized upon performance of the related service which coincides with customer acceptance, and the other basic revenue recognition requirements.

Revenues from laboratory testing, consulting agreements and rental equipment contracts are recognized in accordance with the terms specified in the contracts.

13.
Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

14.
Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In evaluating the ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. Management establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be utilized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, which must occur prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties effective November 1, 2007.  In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.  No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of October 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and in the interim periods.

15.
Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for share-based awards issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” effective February 1, 2006.   Accordingly, employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period , which is normally the vesting period. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

Prior to February 1, 2006 and as permitted by ASC 718,  the Company accounted for their stock options in accordance with APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Employee stock options are granted at or above the market price at dates of grant which does not require the Company to recognize any compensation expense.

 The Company adopted ASC 718 (then SFAS 123R) on February 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.  In accordance with such method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of ASC 718.

 
F-12

 
If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant, for awards granted during the year ended October 31, 2005, consistent with the provisions of ASC 715, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following unaudited pro forma amounts:

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if our share-based awards and convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of our share-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all share-based awards are exercised and the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares (difference between shares assumed to be issued versus purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. The dilutive effect of our convertible notes is computed using the if-converted method, which assumes conversion at the beginning of the year.

The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the year ended October 31, 2005:

   
2005
 
Net income for basic earnings per share
  $ 602,699

For the years ended October 31, 2006 to 2010 and the quarterly periods in 2009 and 2010, common stock equivalents related to the convertible notes, warrants and options were not included in the denominators of the diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Concentration of credit risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any such losses in these accounts.  Substantially all of our revenue is derived from one customer.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09). This update amends Subtopic 855-10 and gives a definition to SEC filer, and requires SEC filers to assess for subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. This amendment states that an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for a reporting period. ASU 2010-09 becomes effective upon issuance of
the final update. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 on February 1, 2010.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820 to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. The ASU also clarifies the requirements for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not impact the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , to provide guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 26, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-05 effective November 1, 2009. There was no impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASU 2009-01). ASU 2009-01 establishes “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” or Codification, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. ASU 2009-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-01 effective November 1, 2009. There was no impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 855, Subsequent Events to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 for the period ended October 31, 2009. There was no impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In April 2009,  the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (ASC 820-10-65) to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased. In addition, ASC 820-10-65 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65  did not have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (ASC 815). Overall, it specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative, but is both (a) indexed to an entity’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. The guidance provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions, and thus able to qualify for the scope exception mentioned above. It also clarifies the impact of foreign-currency-denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. The adoption of the guidance did not impact  the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (ASC 805), and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (ASC 810-10-65). ASC 805 and ASC 810-10-65 significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests within the financial statements. ASC 805 provides additional definitions, such as the definition of the acquirer in a purchase and improvements in the application of how the acquisition method is applied. ASC 810-65 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are re-characterized as non-controlling interests, and classified as a component of equity. The adoption of ASC 805 did not impact the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.  The adoption of ASC 810-10-65 resulted in the reclassification of amounts attributable to  noncontrolling interest to a separate component of stockholders’ deficit on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest is shown separately from net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820).  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. ASC 820 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (ASC 820-10-55).  ASC 820-10-55 delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods for those fiscal years. The adoption of both guidance did not impact the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit as of $20,514,383 as of October 31, 2010 and a negative working capital of $5,237,745 as of the same date.  The Company generated minimal revenues in its operations in 2010 and the Company continues to be dependent on its ability to generate future revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in generating future revenues, in obtaining additional debt or equity financing or that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company issued two convertible notes amounting to $200,000.  The noteholders also received 666,666 warrants to purchase the Company’s stock at an exercise price of $0.15 and a term of 2 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and recorded as a debt discount, which was amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The total discount recorded was $29,006.  The related amortization expense for the years ended October 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3,908, $15,295 and $9,803, respectively.  The related amortization expense for the quarterly periods in 2010 and 2009, were as follows:

The convertible debt was evaluated for a beneficial conversion feature, at which time it was concluded that there was none.

Certain convertible notes issued in 2005 and 2004 totaling to $575,000 were amended to extend their maturity dates to June 1, 2008.   One convertible note amounting to $50,000 was further amended to extend the maturity date to January 1, 2010.  The amendments were evaluated under the guidance for debt modification and it was determined that the modifications were not substantial.

A total of 7,250,000 stock warrants were granted with the convertible notes issued in 2005 and 2004.  These warrants have an exercise price of $0.15 and a term of 3 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants amounting to $690,115 was measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and was recorded as a debt discount. The convertible debt was also evaluated for a beneficial conversion feature, at which time it was concluded that a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $717,381 existed which was also recorded as a debt discount.   The discounts recorded are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.  The related amortization expense for the years ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $0, $0, $0, $612,932, $533,227, $261,337, respectively.

We analyzed these convertible notes and the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration and determined that derivative accounting is not applicable for these debts.

Short-term debt

The balance as of October 31, 2007 represent borrowings obtained by Agribiofuels from related parties totaling to $2,053,700.  These loans bear annual interest of 12% and have short-term maturities.  Loan payments made in fiscal 2007 amounted to $510,060.

On June 1, 2010, the Company issued a promissory note to a third party for $55,000.  The note bears an annual interest of 10% and matured on July 16, 2010.  The note was fully paid as of October 31, 2010.

Bridge note payable

In March of 2002, the Company entered into a private placement. In May of 2002, a financing source on behalf of the Company completed the minimum funding ($800,000) requirement under a $2,000,000 private placement with Odyssey Capital. The bridge loan is a secured promissory note bearing interest at 12%, compounded monthly, with an initial maturity of December 16, 2002. The note was extended twice to December 31, 2003 and then to December 31, 2004. The debt instruments are convertible at the option of the holder to $0.001 par value common stock at $0.20 per share (trading price during March of 2002). In the event of default, the interest rate on the debt will increase to the maximum allowed by law in Texas (18 percent).  During January 2005, the note of $1,725,417 and accrued interest of $561,048 were converted into 11,101,900 shares of stock.

Restricted stock program

The Company issues shares of IPRC common stock in the form of restricted stock to participating directors, officers and employees.  The restricted stock generally has a vesting period before issuance during which   time it is subject to forfeiture if the participants’ employment is terminated.  Once issued, the stock sale is restricted under rule 144.  Unearned compensation expense associated with restricted stock grants represents the market value of IPRC common stock at the dated of grant and is recognized as a charge to income ratably over the vesting period.

During fiscal year 2004, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares issued to consultants with a weighted average fair market value of $.10 per share. The compensation charge for the year ended October 31, 2004 was $200,000.  These shares were issued during fiscal year 2005.

During fiscal year 2005, the Company awarded and issued 2,040,000 shares with a weighted average fair market value of $.105 per share. The compensation charge for the year ended October 31, 2005 was $214,000.

There were no issuances of restricted stock under the restricted stock program in fiscal years from 2006 through 2010.

NOTE H − GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT

In July 2001, a shareholder and former member of the Board of Directors purchased 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a Guaranteed Investment Contract ("GIC") from the Company for $100,000. The GIC entitles the shareholder a 20 times the rate of return over a period of seven years through 2008 amounting to $2,000,000. The investment was secured by a third position lien on certain equipment of the Company. The Company may repay this investment, which matures on July 18, 2008, together with the related rate of return earned to that date, less the market value of the common stock at the repayment date, any time after July 18, 2002.  In April 2005, this GIC agreement was terminated and settled. The Company issued an additional 682,301 shares of common stock, which had a fair value of $88,699 on the date the agreement was executed as settlement of the related liability. The holder agreed to terminate the GIC and release his lien position.  The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt from this transaction of $378,630 which represents the difference between the fair value of the shares and the amount of liability extinguished.

The noncontrolling interest represents the members who hold 80% of Agribiofuel’s equity.  IPRC owns a 20% interest in Agribiofuels but exercised control through a management agreement with the latter.  The management agreement requires IPRC to provide, among others, certain general business, financial consultation and advice and management services to Agribiofuels in connection with the operation of its business and to provide technology and training in operating Microwave Separation Technology (“MST”) in the manufacture of biodiesel product.  As a result, Agribiofuels was consolidated with IPRC through January 25, 2008 (the deconsolidation date) pursuant to the consolidation requirements applicable to variable interest entities.

Effective January 25, 2008, the management agreement was terminated and Agribiofuels was deconsolidated from IPRC.

NOTE J – INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.  As of October 31, 2010, the Company has generated approximately $17,800,000 of net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards which will expire in the years 2013 through 2030.  Internal Revenue Code section 382 (“Section 382”) restricts the use of these net operating losses in future periods if the Company has a “substantial change in ownership” as defined by Section 382.  The Company has had significant equity transactions in both the current and prior periods.  Due to this equity activity and the restrictions resulting under Section 382, most of the Company’s NOLs may not be available to offset future taxable income.  The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating loss carry forwards.

Deferred tax asset consisted primarily of the following:

NOTE K – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has at various times entered into transactions with related parties, including officers, directors and major shareholders, wherein these parties have advanced or loaned funds to the Company needed to support its daily operations.

The Company had related party transactions relating to the following:

d)  
Non-interest bearing advances from the Company’s CEO and a director starting in fiscal year 2008.  The outstanding balance of such advances as of October 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $107,332, $139,254 and $30,900, respectively.

e)  
Management fees billed to and collected from Agribiofuels that were not eliminated in consolidation amounting to $272,800 for the year ended October 31, 2008.

f)  
An entity owned by the CEO and former CFO of IPRC provided benefits to certain employees utilizing a professional employment organization (“PEO”).  Also, the employees covered were paid a portion of their salaries through the PEO Company.  The outstanding balance from this related party as of October 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $146,610, $51,423 and $0, respectively.  In fiscal year 2008, due to the deconsolidation of Agribiofuels, the above arrangement was terminated and the remaining liability of $35,790 was forgiven and written off to additional paid in capital.

NOTE L – TECHNICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

In August 2009, the Company entered into a technical services agreement with Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) which required IPRC to operate the MST 150 unit at a refinery in Brazil and conduct various tests of emulsions as determined by the technical staff of Petrobras for a total consideration of $1,154,650, which shall be paid to IPRC in 4 installments upon acceptance by Petrobas of the required pre-test and technical progress reports. Upon acceptance of the 3 required IPRC technical reports, additional payments would be made from Petrobras to IPRC.  Upon completion, Petrobras has the option to purchase the MST 150 mobile demonstration unit and various MST units of various capacities for set prices.

NOTE M – LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Agribiofuels was party to a suit, Cause No. 2006-59731; Agribiofuels, LLC vs. Petrogas Process Systems, Inc., et al.; In the 133rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.  The litigation arose from a purchase order which Agribiofuels submitted to Petrogas Process Systems, Inc. (“Petrogas”) for the purchase of two biodiesel reactor modules.  Subsequent to the submittal of this purchase order and a $750,000 initial payment, Petrogas refused to comply with the specifications submitted by Agribiofuels.  As a result of this refusal, Agribiofuels demanded the return of its initial payment, which Petrogas failed to do.  Agribiofuels filed a suit against Petrogas and related parties on September 20, 2006, claiming breach of contract, fraud, Texas Deceptive Trade Practice Act violations, and tortuous inference with prospective relations and unjust enrichment.  In the alternative, Agribiofuels sought rescission of the contract.  Agribiofuels’ claims give rise to potential claims for attorney’s fees, treble damages, lost profits, interest and costs.  As a result of the suit filed, Agribiofuels recorded a loss of $750,000 representing a full valuation allowance on the deposit on fiscal year 2006.

 
F-20

 
The case was discontinued in 2008 due to the uncertainty of being able to secure any financial recovery from the other party and to avoid the additional costs associated with proceeding with a trial.

From time to time the Company may become involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. At the present time the Company’s management is not aware of any such litigation.
 
 
The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, which have not been provided for, covered by insurance or otherwise have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

NOTE N – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In February 2011, the Company granted a total of 1,550,000 common shares to directors and an employee.

On April 4, 2011, due to delays associated with the original shipment and customs release of the MST 150 unit, the technical services agreement with Petrobras was amended to include an additional payment of $281,000 to IPRC to cover additional expenses incurred as a result of the delay.
