U.S. GEOTHERMAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Unaudited
September 30, 2011
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

When U.S. Cobalt Inc. (“GTH” or the “Company”) completed a reverse take-over on December 19, 2003, the former stockholders of U.S. Geothermal Inc. (“GEO – Idaho”) a company incorporated on February 26, 2002 in the State of Idaho, U.S.A. acquired control of GTH. In connection with the transaction, U.S. Cobalt Inc. changed its name to U.S. Geothermal Inc. and consolidated its common stock on a one new to five old basis. All references to common shares in these financial statements have been restated to reflect the rollback of common stock. The Company constructs and manages power plants that utilize geothermal resources to produce energy. The Company’s operations have been, primarily, focused in the Western United States of America.

All references to “dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars and all references to $ CDN are to Canadian dollars.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, so long as such omissions do not render the financial statements misleading. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company consolidates subsidiaries that it controls (more-than-50% owned) and entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as one controlling interest. The accounts of the following companies are consolidated in these financial statements:

	i)	U.S. Geothermal Inc. (incorporated in the State of Delaware);
	ii)	U.S. Geothermal Inc. (incorporated in the State of Idaho);
	iii)	Gerlach Geothermal LLC (organized in the State of Delaware);
	iv)	U.S. Geothermal Services, LLC (organized in the State of Delaware);
	v)	USG Nevada LLC (organized in the State of Delaware);
	vi)	USG Gerlach LLC (organized in the State of Delaware);
	vii)	USG Oregon LLC (organized in the State of Delaware)
	viii)	Oregon USG Holdings, LLC (organized in the State of Delaware); and
	ix)	U.S. Geothermal Guatemala, S.A.

All intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Raft River Energy I LLC, previously a 100% owned subsidiary, was consolidated through July 2006, after which the entity is recorded under the equity method.

-10-

---

In cases where the Company owns a majority interest in an entity but does not own 100% of the interest in the entity it recognizes a non-controlling interest. The Company will recognize 100% of the assets and liabilities of the entity, and disclose the non-controlling interest. The statements of operations will consolidate the subsidiary’s full operations, and will separately disclose the elimination of the non-controlling interest’s allocation of profits and losses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be significant by the Company’s management:

Accounting Method

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all unrestricted cash, short-term deposits, and other investments with original maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired to be cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows. Discussion regarding restricted cash is included in Note 3.

Trade Accounts Receivable Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management estimates the amount of trade accounts receivable that may not be collectible and records an allowance for doubtful accounts, accordingly. The allowance is an estimate based upon aging of receivable balances, historical collection experience, and the periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. Receivable balances are written off when we determine that the balance is uncollectible. As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, there were no balances that were over 90 days past due and no balance in allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, consisted of commercial bank deposits, money market accounts, and petty cash. Cash deposits are held in commercial banks in Boise, Idaho and Portland, Oregon. Deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per legal entity through December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2011, the Company’s total cash balance, excluding money market funds, was $2,514,318, and bank deposits amounted to $2,570,098. The difference was due to outstanding checks and deposits. Of the bank deposits, $1,902,959 was not covered by or was in excess of FDIC insurance guaranteed limits. At fiscal year end, the Company’s money market funds invested in government backed securities totaled $2,199,223 and were not subject to deposit insurance.

-11-

---

Equity Securities

The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates this designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company classifies these securities as either held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. All marketable securities and restricted investments were classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company classifies its investments as “available for sale” because it does not intend to actively buy and sell for short-term profits. The Company's investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. The fair value of investments is determined using observable or quoted market prices for those securities.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses, declines in value judged to be other than temporary and interest on available-for-sale securities are included in net income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Allocation of Profits and Losses from Subsidiaries with Complex Ownership Structures

For subsidiaries that have contractually complex ownership rights, benefits and obligations, the Company utilizes the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV”) for allocating profits and losses. This method utilizes the specific terms outlined in the subsidiary’s operating agreement or other authoritative documents. These terms may include cash disbursement terms, associated financial instruments, debt arrangements, and rights to specific revenue streams.

According to the operating agreement, upon liquidation and, after payment of all outstanding debts, any remaining funds would be distributed to the Members in accordance to their positive capital account balance ratio. Certain contract provisions contain allocation of profit and loss items to arrive at the capital account balances. Since the Company is currently the minority member recording their investment in RREI under the equity method, we utilize a hypothetical liquidation at book value at each balance sheet date to value our investment.

For the Company’s investment in RREI, the investment will change based upon actual capital contributions, actual cash distributions, 70% of revenue from renewable energy credits, and 1% of all other profit and loss items. See Note 5.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including assets under capital lease, are recorded at historical cost. Costs of acquisition of geothermal properties are capitalized on a geothermal reservoir basis. If a geothermal reservoir is abandoned, the associated costs that have been capitalized are charged to income in the year of abandonment. Major improvements that significantly increase the useful lives and/or capabilities of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred during the construction period of defined major projects from debt that is specifically incurred for those projects are capitalized.

-12-

---

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Where appropriate, terms of property rights and revenue contracts can influence the determination of estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives by major asset categories are summarized as follows:

Intangible Assets

All costs directly associated with the acquisition of geothermal and water rights are capitalized as intangible assets. These costs are amortized over their estimated utilization period. There are several factors that influence the estimated utilization periods as well as underlying fair value that include, but are not limited to, the following:

	-	contractual expiration terms of the right,
	-	contractual terms of an associated revenue contract (i.e., PPAs),
	-	compliance with utilization and other requirements, and
	-	hierarchy of other right holders who share the same resource.

Currently, amortization expense is being calculated on a straight-line basis over an estimated utilization period of 30 years for assets placed in service. If an intangible water or geothermal right is forfeited or otherwise lost, the remaining unamortized costs are expensed in the period of forfeiture. An impaired right is reduced to its estimated fair market value in the year the impairment is realized. Costs incurred that extend the term of an intangible right are capitalized and amortized over the new estimated period of utilization.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-term assets annually for impairment or when circumstances or events occur that may impact the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of a capitalized asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Management believes that there have not been any circumstances that have warranted the recognition of losses due to the impairment of long-lived assets as of September 30, 2011.

Stock Options Granted to Employees and Non-employees

The Company follows financial accounting standards that require the measurement of the value of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. For employees, directors and officers, the fair value of the awards are expensed over the vesting period. The current vesting period for all options is eighteen months.

Non-employee stock-based compensation is granted at the Board of Director’s discretion to reward select consultants for exceptional performance. Prior to issuance of the awards, the Company was not under any obligation to issue the stock options. Subsequent to the award, the recipient was not obligated to perform any services. Therefore, the fair value of these options was expensed on the grant date, which was also the measurement date.

-13-

---

Under the fair value recognition provisions, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

The Company has adopted a standard that states that if certain conditions are present surrounding the issuance of equity instruments as share based compensation, then circumstances may warrant the recognition of a liability for financial reporting purposes. One such condition is present when the Company issued stock options denominated in a foreign currency (Canadian dollars) to employees. Authors of the standard have reasoned that when a condition is present that creates a financial risk to the recipient in addition to normal market risks (i.e., foreign currency translation risk), then the instrument takes on the characteristics of a liability, rather than an equity item. As the underlying stock options are exercised or are forfeited, then the stock based compensation liability will be reduced. The Company’s financial statements reflect these changes in the consolidated balance sheet. As the value of the options change over the vesting periods, these changes will ultimately be reflected in the amount of expense charged to operations.

Stock Based Compensation Granted to Employees

The Company recognizes the value of common stock granted to employees and directors over the periods in which the services are received. The value of those services is based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock to be awarded. Estimated fair value is adjusted each reporting period. At the end of each vesting period, estimated fair value is adjusted to fair market value. The adjustment is reflected in the reporting period in which the vesting occurs.

Earnings Per Share

The Company follows financial accounting standards, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Although there were common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, they were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because their inclusion would have been considered anti-dilutive. Total common stock equivalents at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were 100,378,123 and 102,665,193; respectively.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade account and other receivables, refundable tax credits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

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

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Monetary items are converted into U.S. dollars at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses are generally included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change.

Investments in equity securities (150,000 shares of a publicly traded geothermal corporation) activities consisted of the following:

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES

Raft River Energy I is a joint venture between the Company and Raft River I Holdings, LLC a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. An Operating Agreement governs the rights and responsibilities of both parties. RREI is a voting interest entity recorded on the financial records of the Company as an equity investment. For book and income tax purposes, Raft River I Holdings, LLC will receive a greater proportion of the share of losses and other income tax benefits. Additionally, during the initial years of operations Raft River I Holdings, LLC will receive a larger allocation of cash distributions.

RREI resulted from an August 9, 2006 agreement between the Company and Raft River Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Goldman Sachs Group, for construction financing of Phase I of the Raft River project. To accommodate the construction financing, the Company sold 50% of its ownership in Raft River Energy to Raft River Holdings, LLC. As a result of the agreements, the Company was required to contribute cash and property sufficient to complete a power plant, and Raft River Holdings was required to contribute $34,170,100.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has contributed $17,953,640 in cash and property to the project, while Raft River Holdings, LLC has contributed $34,170,100.

At Neal Hot Springs, well NHS #9 was started and substantially completed at a cost of approximately $2.67 million. Construction costs that exceeded $580,000 were incurred for well NHS #13. This well was started during the current quarter and is expected to be completed next quarter. Construction activities of the buildings and power plant equipment/components continued that amounted to approximately $10.5 million. At San Emidio, costs of approximately $4.6 million were incurred for the construction of the new power plant. The new plant is expected to be completed in November 2011. Exploration drilling was conducted that amounted to over $702,000.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company was primarily focused on the development of the Neal Hot Springs, Oregon and San Emidio, Nevada projects. At Neal Hot Springs, well NHS #12 was substantially completed at a cost of approximately $3.4 million. Construction costs that amounted to over $9.6 million were incurred on the transmission line, office building, shop building, power plant and site preparation. The office and shop buildings are substantially complete. Costs incurred for power plant construction are primarily related to engineering and design. Power plant construction costs, at San Emidio amounted to approximately $8.1 million during the quarter. The foundations and chemical buildings were substantially completed.

Estimated aggregate amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is as follows:

Amortization expense was charged to operations for the following periods:

NOTE 9 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by accounting standards to allow recognition of such an asset.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate, noted in the table below, of approximately $7,993,000 (March 31, 2011 - $6,743,000). As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset was recorded at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

The significant components of the net deferred tax asset calculated with the estimated effective income tax rate at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were as follows:

* - significant components of deferred assets and liabilities are considered to be long-term.

-21-

The Company’s estimated effective income tax rate is summarized as follows:

At September 30, 2011, the Company had net income tax operating loss carry forwards of approximately $20,886,000 ($13,678,000 in March 31, 2011), which expire in the years 2023 through 2031. The change in the allowance account from March 31, 2011 to September 30, 2011 was $1,250,000.

Although Management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our tax provisions. Ultimately, the actual tax benefits to be realized will be based upon future taxable earnings levels, which are very difficult to predict.

Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties and Related Matters

The Company may be assessed penalties and interest related to the underpayment of income taxes. Such assessments would be treated as a provision of income tax expense on the financial statements. For the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, no income tax expense has been realized as a result of operations and no income tax penalties and interest have been accrued related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the States of Idaho and Oregon. These filings are subject to a three year statute of limitations. The Company’s evaluation of income tax positions included the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, could be subject to agency examinations as of September 30, 2011. No filings are currently under examination. No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at fiscal year end. Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 10 - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION

Effective November 10, 2008, the Company entered into a capital lease obligation for the purchase of a forklift that is payable in monthly payments of $1,193 including interest to Wells Fargo Equipment, Inc. The contract includes a purchase option of $5,345 at the end of the lease term scheduled for November 2012. At September 30, 2011, equipment under capital lease amounted to $53,450 ($30,288 accumulated amortization). The schedule of minimum lease payments is as follows:

NOTE 11 – CONSTRUCTION NOTES PAYABLE

U.S. Department of Energy
On August 31, 2011, USG Oregon LLC (“USG Oregon”), a subsidiary of the Company, completed the first funding drawdown associated with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) $96.8 million loan guarantee (the “Loan Guarantee”) to construct its planned 23-megawatt-net power plant at Neal Hot Springs in Eastern Oregon (the “Project”). The U.S. Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank, as lender for the Project, issues payments direct to vendors. Advances to date are August 31, 2011 of $2,328,421 at 2.997% and September 28, 2011 of $10,043,467 at 2.755% . Future advances covered by the Loan Guarantee will carry interest at a rate of 0.375% per annum over the U.S. Treasury bill rate of comparable maturities as of the date of each advance. All advances will be made under the Future Advance Promissory Note (“the Note”) dated February 23, 2011. The maximum principal amount of the Note is approximately $93.8 million. No advances may be made under the Note after April 10, 2013. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default under the transaction documents, all amounts payable under the Note may be accelerated. In connection with the Loan Guarantee, the DOE has been granted a security interest in all of the equity interests of USG Oregon, as well as in the assets of USG Oregon, including a mortgage on real property interests relating to the Project site. At September 30, 2011, the loan balance totaled $12,379,140, including accrued interest, and the entire balance was considered to be long-term.

Benham Contractors LLC
Effective August 27, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (USG Nevada LLC) signed a construction loan agreement with Benham Constructors LLC (“Benham”). Benham will be the primary contractor in the relocation and replacement of the existing power plant. The new 8.6 net megawatt power plant is expected to cost approximately $25 million, and is expected to be completed during the 4^th quarter 2011. Upon completion, the USG Nevada LLC will pay the debt in full within 30 days of receipt of the final statement prepared by Benham. Interest will accrue on outstanding balance at 9.5% per annum. When due, the Company expects to obtain funds to repay the loan balance with a long-term project loan. The loan is non-recourse and is secured by the Project’s assets. Title of all work and materials shall pass to the Company the later of delivery to the Site or upon payment in full. At September 30, 2011, the loan balance totaled $21,860,039, including accrued interest, and the entire balance was considered to be long-term.

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

August 2011 Convertible Note
On August 5, 2011, the Oregon USG Holdings, LLC (“Oregon Holdings”), a subsidiary of the Company, signed a convertible note agreement with the other equity partner (Enbridge Inc.). The principal of the loan totaled $2,125,000, and will accrue interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum. The loan balance plus accrued interest will convert to an equity interest in Oregon Holdings upon the earliest of a conversion event or April 1, 2014. Conversion events include the loss of federal funding to the Project. The converted balance would increase Enbridge Inc.’s ownership at a ratio of 1.5% for each $1 million contributed. At September 30, 2011, the loan balance totaled $2,125,000. The entire balance was considered to be long-term.

September 2010 Convertible Note
In September 2010, Oregon Holdings entered into a convertible loan agreement with Enbridge Inc. In April 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy guaranteed project loan was closed which triggered the terms of the conversion agreement. The unsecured convertible promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000 was converted to an equity interest in Oregon Holdings. With the note conversion and the additional capital contribution of $13.8 million, Enbridge, Inc. received a 20% ownership interest in Oregon Holdings.

NOTE 13 - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 76,500 common shares to employees of the Company upon exercise of stock options.

On March 10, 2011, the Company issued 705,000 shares for the stock compensation plan (restricted shares) approved on September 10, 2010. The shares will be distributed to qualified recipients according to the approved vesting schedule. See Note 14 for details.

On March 7, 2011, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. Each investor received a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 50% of number of shares of Common Stock purchased. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of Common Stock for $1.075 per share. The Warrants expire March 3, 2012. The issue included a placement agent fee of 112,000 Common Shares and 56,000 Broker Warrants with the same terms.

NOTE 14 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a stock incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and motivating directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and advancing the interests of the Corporation. The Stock Incentive Plan is a 15% rolling plan approved by shareholders in December 2009, whereby the Company can grant options to the extent of 15% of the current outstanding common shares. Under the plan, all forfeited and exercised options can be replaced with new offerings. As of September 30, 2011, the Company can issue stock option grants totaling up to 12,725,768 shares. Options are granted for a term of up to five years from the date of grant. Stock options granted generally vest over a period of eighteen months, with 25% vesting on the date of grant and 25% vesting every six months thereafter. Effective April 1, 2007, all grants are stated in U.S. dollars. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method of amortization. Historically, the Company has issued new shares to satisfy exercises of stock options and the Company expects to issue new shares to satisfy any future exercises of stock options. At September 30, 2011, the Company had 8,132,625 options granted and outstanding.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option volatility within the Black-Scholes model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based upon past experience and future estimates and includes data from the Plan. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company currently does not foresee the payment of dividends in the near term.

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

			Six Months
			Ended
			September 30,			Year Ended
			2011			March 31, 2011
	Dividend yield		0			0
	Expected volatility		87-91%			89-92%
	Risk free interest rate		0.25-1.21%			0.26-0.78%
	Expected life (years)		3.15			3.19

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

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions related to its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored to the Company’s needs.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table discloses by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011 at fair value on a recurring basis:

		Total			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Assets:
Money market accounts	$	2,199,223		$	2,199,223		$	-		$	-
Investment in equity securities		74,910			-			74,910			-
	$	2,274,133		$	2,199,223		$	74,910		$	-

As allowed by current financial reporting standards, the Company has elected not to implement fair value recognition and reporting for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, that is, at least annually.

There were no changes in Level 3 assets measured for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 the amounts of $12,973 and $2,338; respectively, were payable to directors and officers of the Company for routine expense reimbursement. These amounts are unsecured and due on demand.

The Company’s subsidiary Raft River Energy I, LLC (“RREI”) owed the Company $2,225,524 and $282,257 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011; respectively, for operating and maintenance expenses. The current receivable balance is comprised of unsecured demand obligations due within twelve months. See Note 4 for the terms of the long term liability. The Company received the following revenues from RREI:

The Company’s equity investment in RREI is adjusted monthly for its share of the profit and loss based on various revenue stream and cost allocations. The Company’s share of the costs to RREI associated with the above noted management fees and lease and royalty revenues are deemed immaterial at this time, and related U.S. Geothermal, Inc.’s revenues and RREI costs have not been eliminated in the financial statements.

The Company paid directors fees in the amounts of $77,500 and $45,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010; respectively.

General Background and Discussion

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and notes thereto included in this report.

U.S. Geothermal Inc. (“the Company”) is a Delaware corporation. The Company’s common stock trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “GTH” and on the NYSE Amex LLC under the trade symbol “HTM.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company was focused on:

	1)	Constructing the new San Emidio Unit 1 power plant in Nevada;
	2)	Drilling injection wells and construction for the Neal Hot Springs project in Oregon;
	3)	Completing the repair of one well at Raft River Unit I and a partial repair on a second well;
	4)	Started the drilling of observation wells for the San Emidio Phase II project in conjunction with the DOE Innovative Exploration program;
	5)	Negotiating partnership terms for San Emidio Phases I and II and discussing development funding for Phase III;
	6)	Optimizing the operations of the existing San Emidio power plant in Nevada;
	7)	Conducting negotiations for a PPA and with potential equity partners for the El Ciebillo project in Guatemala; and
	8)	The evaluation of potential new geothermal projects acquisitions.

Project Overview

The following is a list of projects that are in operation, under development or under exploration. Projects in operation have producing geothermal power plants. Projects under development have at least a geothermal resource discovery or may have wells in place, but require the drilling of new or additional production and injection wells in order to supply enough geothermal fluid sufficient to operate a commercial power plant. Projects under exploration do not have a geothermal resource discovery occurrence yet, but have significant thermal and other physical evidence that warrants the expenditure of capital in search of the discovery of a geothermal resource. Due to inflation and marketplace increases in the costs of labor and construction materials, previous estimates of property development costs may be low.

Raft River Update
Raft River Energy Unit I, located in southern Idaho, is a binary cycle geothermal power plant with 13 net megawatts of installed capacity. The power plant achieved commercial operation in January 2008.

Raft River Unit I operated at 97.8% availability and generated an average of 6.3 net megawatts during the second fiscal quarter. For the 2010 calendar year, the plant averaged 8.39 net megawatts of generation with 97.7% availability. The plant operated at reduced output during the quarter due to hot summer temperatures, well repair operations on production well RRG-7, the continued shutdown of production well RRG-2 and planned repair outages.

In early January 2009, production well RRG-7 underwent a temperature decline that has now reduced the inlet fluid temperature to the power plant by approximately 11.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Power generation has been reduced by an estimated 1.5 megawatts due to the lower fluid temperature entering the plant. It was determined that the cement in a lap joint (an overlap of well casing) had failed and washed out, thereby allowing lower temperature fluid to enter the wellbore. Production well RRG-2 was shut down on June 10, 2010 due to a reduction in flow and increased motor load which indicates an impending pump failure.

On May 17, 2011, Raft River I Holdings, LLC consented to a repair plan for both RRG-2 and RRG-7. A Repair Services Agreement was executed between US Geothermal Services and Raft River Energy I LLC, whereby US Geothermal Services will provide up to $1.65 million in funding and manage the well repairs. The cost of the repairs will be repaid from project cash flow, and will be paid preferentially at a rate of 90% of increased cash created by the repairs. A fee of 12.75 % of the actual repair cost incurred will be paid to USG Services. The outstanding balance of the repair cost will also earn USG Services interest income at the rate of 12.0 % per-annum.

Well repairs on RRG-2 and RRG-7 were started in mid-May. At well RRG-7, the pump was pulled, reconditioned and has been reinstalled. A slough of formation material was identified in the open wellbore, and the drill ran a drill bit to the bottom of the well to clean it out and installed a perforated liner to insure that no more material would block the well. The primary focus of the RRG-7 repair was the injection of cement (a “squeeze job”) into a leaking lap joint to stop the inflow of cooler brine and restore the operating temperature of the well. The squeeze job was completed successfully and the well was put back on line July 2nd. The production temperature of RRG-7 has fully recovered to its original production temperature of 299°F. The remainder of the repair on well RRG-2 is in the planning stages and is expected to be started in the 4^th quarter of 2011.

The $10.2 million DOE cost-shared thermal fracturing program has been delayed while a NEPA evaluation was being done to address any potential seismic issues that may result from the program. The Company’s contributions are made in-kind by the use of the RRG-9 well, well field data, and monitoring support totaling $228,089. Eight solar powered seismic stations were installed in June 2010 to provide a base line of seismic data and will be used to monitor potential impacts from the test. Construction is complete on the injection pipeline that extends from the Unit 1 power plant to well RRG-9. A detailed, 3-D magnetotelluric survey was completed during the 3^rd fiscal quarter of 2010. A delay in starting the injection program was caused by a NEPA issue which has been resolved. A drill rig is being sourced and it is now expected that a rig will be mobilized during the 4^th quarter of 2011 to set casing down to the geologic formation targeted for the thermal fracture test. A mini-frac and the first phase of cold water injection are expected to commence during the 1st quarter of 2012.

Raft River Operating Agreement
We hold a 50% interest in Raft River Energy I LLC, which owns Raft River Unit I (“Unit I”). Construction of Unit I required substantial capital, and partnering with a co-venturer tax partner allowed us to share the risks of ownership and monetize valuable tax credits and benefits. The joint venture partner structure allowed the project to monetize production tax credits which would not otherwise have been available to us. When Unit I generates full capacity of 13 megawatts, we estimate we will receive cash payments totaling approximately $1.6 million for each of the first four years of its operations. While Unit I generates at less than full capacity, our annual cash payments from the Raft River I project will be lower. If insufficient cash is generated to satisfy all joint venture obligations, the management fees will be deferred. See Note 5 “Investment in Subsidiaries” in the financial statements for detail of cash payments from RREI.

The Company’s interests in the RREI as defined in the partnership agreements are summarized as follows:

	(1)	U.S. Geothermal allocates 70% of income and receives 70% of available cash from RECs sold to third- parties. After year 10, REC income is shared with Idaho Power Co. For additional details, see U.S. Geothermal’s Form 10-Q filed on August 10, 2009 (Exhibit 10.36).
	(2)	Flip to next tier occurs after the later of 10 years or Raft River I Holdings’ target IRR is achieved.
	(3)	Flip to next tier occurs after Raft River I Holdings’ target IRR is achieved.

Neal Hot Springs Update
Neal Hot Springs is a commercial geothermal resource located in Eastern Oregon that has a planned 23 megawatt power plant under construction.

On February 26, 2009 U.S. Geothermal submitted a loan application for the Neal Hot Springs project to the DOE’s Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Advanced Transmission and Distribution Solicitation loan guarantee program under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The financial closing for the DOE loan guarantee took place on February 23, 2011 which secured a $96.8 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy and a direct loan from the U.S. Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank. The $96.8 million loan represents 75% of the total project cost which is now estimated to be $129 million for the project. The DOE loan is a combined construction and 22 year term loan. The interest rate on the loan is set at 37.5 basis points over the current average yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of comparable maturity. With the $18.8 million equity investment made by Enbridge Inc., the project is 100 percent financed.

The first draw on the DOE loan was used by the project on August 31, 2011 and with full construction underway, loan draws are made every month. The interest rate of the first draw is 2.997% . The second draw was taken on September 28, 2011, at an interest rate of 2.755% .

Notice to proceed was issued to both the EPC contractor (Industrial Builders Inc.) and equipment supplier (TAS Energy) on February 24, 2011. Detailed design and construction of the supercritical cycle power plant utilizing significantly improved technology is currently in progress. The new plant, which will consist of three separate power modules, is designed to deliver approximately 23 megawatt of power net to the grid. The first module is scheduled to begin commercial operations during the second calendar quarter of 2012 and the full plant is scheduled to be complete during the 3^rd quarter 2012.

The EPC contractor has continued site work with the grading of the plant site, installation of the concrete foundations for the air cooled condensers, earthworks for the substation and support of drilling operations.. TAS Energy, the power plant supplier, signed contracts and issued Notice-To-Proceed for the supply of process pumps, vaporizers, and medium voltage switchgear, received tube bundles for the air cooled condensers and commended fabrication of the Unit 1 modules.

After the long term flow test that was completed in January, a reservoir model was completed on March 24, 2011 by the Company’s consulting reservoir engineer, and after review, the DOE independent reservoir engineer issued a reservoir certificate on March 31, 2011. The final reservoir report and certificate confirmed that the reservoir was able to sustain the production necessary for the planned 23 megawatt project from the existing four production wells. An injection plan was developed as part of the plan, and drilling operations resumed in April 2011 to complete the injection well field for the project. Two large diameter injection wells (NHS-12 and NHS-9) and two slim hole injectors (NHS-10 and T/G 3) have been completed. Drilling is underway on NHS-13, a deep injector, which is targeted to 7,000 feet. Three more injection wells are scheduled for drilling to complete the injection plan.

The Company received the Conditional Use Permit from the Malheur County Planning Commission for construction of its proposed 23 net megawatt power plant at Neal Hot Springs in eastern Oregon. The Conditional Use Permit received unanimous approval at a September 24, 2009 Planning Commission meeting and was issued on October 28, 2009. All of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) mandated transmission studies have been completed by Idaho Power Company. An interconnection agreement was signed with the Idaho Power Company in February 2009. Idaho Power Company is responsible for the construction of the transmission line with the cost paid for by the project. A notice to proceed was issued to Idaho Power Company to commence procurement and construction of the transmission line on April 8, 2011. As of the end of the quarter, Idaho Power has completed setting power poles and is in the process of stringing transmission line and constructing the substation.

The PPA for the project was signed on December 11, 2009 with the Idaho Power Company. The PPA has a 25 year term with a starting price of $96 per megawatt-hour and escalates at a variable percentage annually. On May 20, 2010, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission approved the PPA with no changes to the terms and conditions.

San Emidio, Nevada
The San Emidio geothermal power plant has been producing power since 1987 and sells electricity to Sierra Pacific Power Corporation under a power purchase agreement that extends through 2017. Deeper wells with higher temperatures were drilled in 1994 to supply the plant after output declined due to cooling of the original, shallow production wells. The current configuration of the plant consists of four 1.2 gross megawatt Ormat Energy Converters (“OEC”), five production wells (two wells in use and three on standby), and four injection wells (three wells in use and one on standby). A cooling tower was added in 1998 to improve summer peak power generation. During the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, the San Emidio plant operated at 98.6% availability and generated an average of 2.3 net megawatts during the period.

The San Emidio expansion is planned to take place in three phases. Phase I is a repower, and Phases II and III will be the expansion. Phase I will utilize the existing production and injection wells with installation of a new, more efficient 8.6 MW net power plant now under construction and expected to be online in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Phase I repower is anticipated to cost approximately $32 million. The Phase II expansion is anticipated to cost approximately $50 million. Phase III is a further expansion planned a for 17.2 MW net utilizing two additional power modules similar to Phases I and II.

For Phases I and II, the Company has made an application for the DOE’s 1705 loan guarantee program anticipating that 75% of the total project capital may be funded by a Department of Energy loan guarantee, with the remainder funded through equity financing. The Company was notified on May 10 that the loan guarantee application had been put on hold by the DOE due to budgetary constraints. A second letter was received on June 13 that confirmed that our application is still on hold, pending clarification of the possible availability of funds under the 2011 Continuing Resolution. We continue to seek clarification and reinstatement into the loan guarantee program. Discussions with several senior lenders for a long term loan to take out the SAIC construction loan are ongoing.

The Phase I repower began construction in the third calendar quarter of 2010. The Phase II expansion is anticipated to begin construction in the third calendar quarter of 2011 with commercial operations commencing in the second calendar quarter of 2013. The Company expects to utilize Investment Tax Credits in connection with both the repower and the Phase II expansion. Both Phases I and II required an amendment to the Sierra Pacific Power Purchase Agreement, as discussed below. Phase III is expected to follow construction of Phase II and be online by the fourth quarter of 2013. Both Phase II and Phase III are subject to successful development of additional production wells through exploration and drilling activities.

The existing, historic power plant will be placed on operational standby when the Phase I plant comes on line. As shown in the Project Development table above, the Phase I repower is anticipated to cost approximately $32 million, with Phase II at approximately $50 million and Phase III approximately $100 million. We expect that 75% of the Phase I and Phase II development may be funded by project loans, with the remainder funded through equity financing.

The Phase I power plant began construction in August of 2010, with final completion scheduled to occur during the 4^th quarter 2011. Construction of Phase I to date is on schedule and on budget. All major equipment is on site and is being installed; pipelines, power cables and control cables between modules are being run. The cooling tower is complete and the tie in to the brine production lines is done. Commissioning of the key components is expected to start during October.

Phase II began development in the second calendar quarter of 2010 with commercial operations anticipated to commence in the second calendar quarter of 2013. The Company expects that the project will be granted about $28 million in ITC cash grant in lieu of PTC in connection with approximately $82 million Phase I and Phase II megawatt development.

On June 1, 2011, a PPA was signed with Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a NV Energy for 19.9 megawatts of electricity. The PPA has a 25 year term with a base price of $89.75 per megawatt-hour, and a 1 percent annual escalation rate. The electrical output from both Phase I and Phase II will be sold under the terms of the PPA. The PPA is subject to approval by the Public Utility Commission of Nevada.

The Company entered into agreements with Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”) for a project loan and an engineering procurement and construction contract for the San Emidio Phase I power plant. SAIC’s design-build subsidiary, the Benham Companies LLC, will execute the construction of an 8.6 net megawatt power plant at San Emidio, Nevada. TAS Energy of Houston, Texas will supply a modular power plant to the project. The financing agreement calls for the contractor to provide a non-recourse project loan for the estimated $32 million dollar project. The construction loan is expected to be repaid with a long term project loan.

Two System Feasibility Studies were initiated in July 2008 with Sierra Pacific Power Company to begin the FERC mandated transmission study process for the development of the San Emidio resource. The studies examined two levels of power generation; 15 megawatts and 45 megawatts, several transmission routes and the costs associated with each level of generation. The 15 megawatt study, which is directed toward the Phase I repower and Phase II, has completed the study process and resulted in an increase of available transmission to 16 megawatts. A Small Generator Interconnection Agreement for 16 megawatts of transmission capacity was executed with Sierra Pacific Power Company on December 28, 2010.

The 45 megawatt study, which is directed toward the full build out of San Emidio with the addition of the 17.2 megawatt Phase III project, completed the second phase System Impact Study in April. A draft Interconnection Facilities Study, the third and final study, was received on November 22, 2010. The remainder of the 45 megawatt study has been put on hold pending further exploration of the project.

On October 30, 2009, the Company was awarded $3.77 million in Recovery Act funding for the exploration and development of its San Emidio geothermal power project using advanced geophysical exploration techniques. This award was categorized under the “Innovative Exploration and Drilling Projects” section of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The project at San Emidio will apply innovative, seismic and satellite imagery techniques along with state-of-the-art structural modeling, to locate large aperture fractures that represent high-productivity geothermal drilling targets.

The results of the innovative portion of the exploration program were submitted to the DOE for review and awaiting approval. Two zones along the 4.5 mile long San Emidio fault structure were identified as high quality targets for drilling. In order to meet construction targets for Phase II, the drilling phase of the program commenced and two observation/temperature gradient wells have been completed by the company. The remaining portion of the drilling program under the grant, when approved, is a 50-50 cost share with the DOE.

Guatemala
A geothermal energy rights concession located 14 kilometers southwest of Guatemala City was awarded to U.S. Geothermal Guatemala S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in April. The concession contains 24,710 acres (100 square kilometers) in the center of the Aqua and Pacaya twin volcano complex.

The concession contains the El Ceibillo geothermal project which has nine existing geothermal wells that were drilled in the l990s and have depths ranging from 560 to 2,000 feet (170 to 610 meters). Six of the wells have measured reservoir temperatures in the range of 365°F to 400°F and have high conductive gradients that indicate rapidly increasing temperature with depth. Fluid samples and mineralization from the wells indicate the existence of a high permeability reservoir below the existing well field.

An office and staff are located in Guatemala City and planning is underway to advance the project with initial work focused on negotiating necessary surface and access rights, a power sales agreement with the local utility company, strategic investors, and potential project lenders. Follow up work will include a detailed geophysical program, geologic mapping, sampling of hot springs, and to redrill one or two of the existing wells to test for deep, high temperature permeability. Discussions and planning are underway for the development of a power purchase agreement. Also, discussions are taking place with several interested parties for the potential sale of a minority equity interest in the El Ciebillo project to a qualified local partner.

Gerlach Joint Venture
The Gerlach Joint Venture, located adjacent to the town of Gerlach in Washoe County, Nevada is made up of both private and BLM geothermal leases. The Peregrine well, a historic exploration slim hole that encountered a lost circulation zone at a depth of 975 feet, was redrilled and the hole was opened from a 6.5 inch diameter well to a 12.5 inch diameter well. Lost circulation was confirmed with three zones through the 900 to 1,024 foot interval. The well was stopped at 1,070 total depth. Temperature surveys and a short clean out flow test were conducted on the well. The well flowed at an estimated 300-400 gpm, and the flowing temperature was 208°F. Geochemistry indicates an average potential source temperature of 374°F for the Gerlach site.

Contingent upon cost, plans are underway to drill either a 2,000 foot deep temperature gradient well or a 3,000 foot observation well to test the deep temperature potential of the central portion of the interpreted reservoir block. A production target has been identified from historic drilling data at a depth of 2,700 to 3,000 feet where total lost circulation was encountered, but the well wasn’t flow tested before being plugged and abandoned. The new well is scheduled to be drilled in the 4^th quarter of 2011.

Granite Creek
The Granite Creek assets are comprised of three BLM geothermal leases totaling approximately 5,414 acres (8.5 square miles) located about 6 miles north of Gerlach, Nevada along a geologic structure known to host geothermal features including the Great Boiling Spring and the Fly Ranch Geyser. A first stage gravity geophysical program was completed in the third quarter of 2008 and will be used to evaluate the resource potential, and help determine where to drill temperature-gradient exploration wells.

Key quarterly production data is summarized as follows:

Gain on Investment in Subsidiary (Raft River Energy I, LLC)
The Company uses the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV”) for allocating of Raft River Energy I, LLC’s (“RREI”) profits and losses. This method utilizes the specific terms outlined in the RREI’s operating agreement and other authoritative documents. These terms include cash disbursement terms, associated financial instruments, debt arrangements, and rights to specific revenue streams. The primary element of the profit and loss allocation from inception has been the amount of renewable energy credits earned.

The Company’s gain from RREI of $94,107 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, decreased $50,017 (34.7 %) from the same period in 2010. Under the current effective terms of the operating agreement, the Company receives 70% of energy credit sales generated by RREI. In May 2011, the repairs of wells RRG-2 and RRG-7 began under a repair service agreement between the two partners. The repair activities resulted in production decreases. Energy production decreased 14.9% in the six months ended September 30, 2011, from the same period in 2010. The production decrease directly affected the renewable energy credit revenue which was down $46,848 (21.4%) for the same six month period. Repairs on RRG-7 were completed in July 2011 and the well has returned to its original temperature and flow rate. To date, well RRG-2 repairs have not been completely successful. The casing repair remaining on RRG-2 has been designed and planning for the repair is on going. The combined repair costs have exceeded $2.1 million as of September 30, 2011 ($1,164,712 under the repair service agreement).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe our cash and liquid investments at September 30, 2011 are adequate to fund our general operating activities through March 31, 2012 including drilling at Neal Hot Springs, general development support activities at San Emidio and repair activities at Raft River. In addition to government loans and grants discussed below, we anticipate that additional funding may be raised through financial and strategic partnerships, the issuance of equity and/or through the sale of ownership interest in tax credits and benefits.

The current financial credit crisis is not anticipated to impact the ability of our customers, Idaho Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power, to pay for their power. This power is sold under long-term contracts at fixed prices to large utilities. Projections for 2011 indicate that both projects, Raft River and San Emidio, will generate positive cash flows to the Company. However, the current status of the credit and equity markets could delay our project development activities while the Company seeks to obtain economic credit terms or a favorable equity market price to further the drilling and construction activities. The Company continues discussions with potential investors to evaluate alternatives for funding at the corporate and project levels. We are also pursuing additional available DOE loans and guarantees in order to reduce interest costs for any debt instruments the Company may require.

For projects under construction before the end of 2010 and online before the end of 2013, a project can elect to take a 30% investment tax credit (“ITC”) in lieu of the production tax credit (“PTC”). The ITC may be converted into a cash grant within the first 60 days of operation of the plant. Phase I at San Emidio will be completed and in operation in December 2011. An application will be submitted in December 2011 electing to take the ITC cash grant in lieu of the PTC, which will result in a check from the U.S. Treasury for approximately $8-10 million during the 4^th fiscal quarter of this year.

On September 30, 2011, U.S. Geothermal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC (“MLV”), pursuant to which the Company, from time to time, may issue and sell through MLV, acting as the Company’s sales agent, shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s board of directors has authorized the issuance and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement for aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $10,000,000, subject to certain limitations based on the sales price per share, for a period of one year from the date of execution of the Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, MLV will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of the greater of (i) 3% of the gross sales price per share sold or (ii)(1) $0.03 per share sold if the sale price per share is $0.80 or greater or (2) $0.0225 per share sold if the sale price per share is less than $0.80 (but in no event shall compensation exceed 8% of gross proceeds). The Company has agreed to reimburse a portion of MLV’s expenses in connection with the offering of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement.

On March 7, 2011, the Company closed a direct registered placement of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $5 million. Each investor also received a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 50% of number of shares of Common Stock purchased. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of Common Stock for $1.075 per share. The Warrants expire March 3, 2012. The issue included a placement agent fee of 112,000 Common Shares and 56,000 Warrants plus expenses of approximately $15,000. The securities were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which became effective on December 31, 2010. A prospectus supplement relating to the offering was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2010. After deducting for fees and expenses, the net proceeds were approximately $4.95 million. The net proceeds of the offering will be used for general working capital, including exploration, development and expansion of its geothermal properties

On February 24, 2011, the Company completed the financial closing with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) of a $96.8 -million loan guarantee to construct its planned 23-megawatt-net power plant at Neal Hot Springs in Eastern Oregon. Neal Hot Springs is the first geothermal project to complete a loan guarantee under DOE’s Title XVII loan guarantee program, which was created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to support the deployment of innovative clean energy technologies. The DOE loan guarantee will guarantee a loan from the U.S. Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank. The $96.8 -million Federal Financing Bank loan represents 75% of total project cost. When combined with the previously announced equity investment by Enbridge Inc., the loan provides 100% of the anticipated capital remaining to fully construct the project.

In September 2010, USG Oregon LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary) entered into agreements with Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. that formed a strategic and financial partnership to finance the Neal Hot Springs project located in eastern Oregon. A component of these agreements included a $5 million convertible promissory note. Upon conversion, the note shall be considered to be an equity contribution to the Company’s subsidiary. The conversion occurs automatically upon the closing of the Department of Energy (“DOE”) guaranteed project loan. The agreements also provide for additional equity contributions of $13.8 million from Enbridge that when combined with the $5 million convertible promissory note, will earn Enbridge a 20% direct ownership in the subsidiary. In the event of cost overruns for the project, and at the election of the Company, an additional payment obligation of up to $5 million would be contributed by Enbridge that would increase their direct ownership by 1.5 percentage points for each $1 million contributed. Added to their base 20% ownership, additional payments could increase Enbridge’s ownership to a maximum of 27.5% .

In August 2010, USG Nevada LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary) entered into agreements with Benham Companies, LLC (subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation) for a project loan. The project loan is expected to provide substantially all of the funding needed to construct an 8.6 net megawatt power plant for Phase I of the San Emidio project in northwest Nevada. Construction costs are estimated to be approximately $32 million and expected to be completed in October 2011. The construction loan is planned to be repaid with long term financing from available sources such as the Section 1705 loan guarantee program from the U.S. Department of Energy.

On March 16, 2010, the Company closed a private placement of securities issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into with several institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company issued 8,209,519 shares of common stock at a price of $1.05 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $8.6 million (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, each investor was also issued a common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") exercisable for 50% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the investor. The Company paid commissions to agents in connection with the Private Placement in the amount of approximately $516,000 and issued warrants to purchase up to 246,285 shares of common stock. The net proceeds of the offering (approximately $8.0 million) will be used by the Company to further develop its Neal Hot Springs geothermal project and for general working capital purposes.

On October 30, 2009, the Company was awarded $3.77 million in Recovery Act funding for the exploration and development of its San Emidio geothermal power project using advanced geophysical exploration techniques. This award was categorized under the “Innovative Exploration and Drilling Projects” section of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The project at San Emidio will apply innovative, seismic and satellite imagery techniques along with state-of-the-art structural modeling, to locate large aperture fractures that represent high-productivity geothermal drilling targets.

On August 17, 2009, the Company completed a private placement of 8,100,000 Subscription Receipts (“Receipt”) at $1.35 CDN per Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN $10,935,000. Each Receipt was exchanged on December 17, 2009 for one share of common stock of the Company and one half of one common stock purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock of the Company for $1.75 for 24 months from closing. The placement agents have been paid an aggregate cash fee of CDN $656,100, representing 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering, and have been issued compensation options, exercisable for 24 months, entitling the placement agents to purchase up to 243,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $1.22. The proceeds provided funds to drill production size wells at Neal Hot Springs to increase production capacity to 22 MW and allow a 30-day flow test to verify the well reservoir capacity. Completion of drilling is a condition precedent to the funding from the DOE loan program, if our application is approved.

Potential Acquisitions

The Company intends to continue its growth through the acquisition of ownership or leasehold interests in properties and/or property rights that it believes will add to the value of the Company’s geothermal resources, and through possible mergers with or acquisitions of operating power plants and geothermal or other renewable energy properties.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been made. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the financial statements.

See Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, for a description of our critical accounting policies.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Risk on Investments
At September 30, 2011, the Company held investments of $2,199,223 in money market accounts. These are highly liquid investments that are subject to risks associated with changes in interest rates. The money market funds are invested in governmental obligations with minimal fluctuations in interest rates and fixed terms.

Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is subject to a limited amount of foreign currency risks associated with cash deposits maintained in Canadian currency. The Company has utilized and it is continuing to utilize the Canadian markets for raising capital. By proper timing of the transactions and then maintenance of adequate operating funds in other financial resources, the Company has been able to mitigate some of the risks surrounding foreign currency exchanges. At quarterly period ended June 30, 2011, the Company held deposits that amounted to less than $10,000 in U.S. dollar equivalents. As a matter of standard operating practice, the Company does not maintain large balances of Canadian currency; and substantially all operating transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars.

Prior to April 1, 2007, the strike price for the Company’s stock option plan had been stated in Canadian dollars as the plan had been administered through our Vancouver office and Pacific Corporate Trust Company. This subjected the Company to foreign currency risk in addition to the normal market risks associated with the stock price fluctuations. A long-term liability has been established to reflect the fair value of the stock options payable. The strike price on subsequent option grants is stated in U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to risks surrounding the volatility of energy prices. These risks are impacted by various circumstances surrounding the energy production from natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, coal and oil. The Company has been able to mitigate, to a certain extent, this risk by signing a power purchase contract for a 25 year period for the first power plant scheduled to go into production. This type of arrangement will be the model for power purchase contracts planned for future power plants.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of this period covered by this report to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
