REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of U.S. Geothermal Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of U.S. Geothermal Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. We also have audited U.S. Geothermal Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). U.S. Geothermal Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) 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.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Geothermal Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, U.S. Geothermal Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

U.S. GEOTHERMAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2009
(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 was created to acquire property, construct power plants, and manage the operations of those 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

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. 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); and

   
  vii)

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. See Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities in Note 2 for further discussion.

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 minority interest. The Company will recognize 100% of the assets and liabilities of the entity, and disclose the minority’s interest. The statements of operations will consolidate the subsidiary’s full operations, and will separately disclose the elimination of the minority’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 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 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 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 4. All investments held by the Company are highly liquid and available on demand.

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 March 31, 2009, 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 a commercial bank in Boise, Idaho. The accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per legal entity (after December 31, 2009, deposits will be insured up to $100,000 per account). At March 31, 2009, the Company held deposits of $19,620 that were not subject to FDIC insurance. The money market funds totaled $3,464,906, and are not subject to deposit insurance.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Marketable Securities

We determine the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluate this designation as of each balance sheet date. We classify these securities as either held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (“SFAS No. 115”), “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” As of March 31, 2009, all marketable securities and restricted investments were classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company classifies its investments as “available for sale” because it expects to possibly sell some securities prior to maturity. 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.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

The Company has a significant interest in Raft River Energy I, LLC (“RREI”), which has been determined to be a variable interest entity as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“FIN 46(R)”). RREI’s purpose is to hold the financial interests of the first phase of the Raft River project for the construction of a geothermal power plant.

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 10 megawatt power plant, and Raft River Holdings was required to contribute $34,170,100.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company has contributed $17,953,640 in cash and property to the project, while Raft River Holdings, LLC has contributed $34,170,100. As a result, Raft River Holdings, LLC has been designated the primary beneficiary.

For periods prior to August 2006, the Company was the 100% owner of RREI and consolidated the loss. For the period August 2006 to September 2008, U.S. Geothermal Inc. recorded RREI under the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries based on the monthly capital contribution ratio, which averaged 34.46% for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost. 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.

The Company expenses all costs related to the development of geothermal reserves prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. Once a resource is considered to be proven, then costs of acquisition and development are capitalized on an area-of-interest basis. If an area of interest is subsequently abandoned, those costs are charged to income in the year of abandonment.

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. The fair value of geothermal property is primarily evaluated based upon the present value of expected revenues directly associated with those 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 March 31, 2009.

Stock Options Granted to Employees and Non-employees

For stock-based compensation, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement of the value of employee services received in exchange for an award of an 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.

-9-


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock Options Granted to Employees and Non-employees (Continued)

For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” Non-employee stock options have been granted, at the Board of Director’s discretion, to select vendors as a bonus 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.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, 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.

Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”), 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008, they were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because their inclusion would have been considered anti-dilutive.

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.

Foreign Operations

The accompanying balance sheet contains certain recorded Company assets (principally cash) in a foreign country (Canada). Although Canada is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in Canada could disrupt the Company’s operations.

Provision for Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). 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 SFAS 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At March 31, 2009, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $3,774,000 (March 31, 2008 - $2,354,160) principally arising from net operating loss carry forwards and stock compensation. 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 March 31, 2009.

The significant components of the deferred tax asset at March 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

    March 31,     March 31,  
    2009     2008  
Estimated net operating loss carry forward $  11,100,000   $  6,924,000  
             
Deferred tax asset $  3,774,000   $  2,354,160  
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance   (3,774,000 )   (2,354,160 )
Net deferred tax asset $  -   $  -  

At March 31, 2009, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $11,100,000 ($6,924,000 in March 31, 2008), which expire in the years 2023 through 2027. The change in the allowance account from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 was $1,419,840.

Although we believe that our 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

We 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 our financial statements. For the year ended March 31, 2009, no income tax expense has been realized as a result of our 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 State of Idaho. The Company will be required to file state income tax returns in the State of Oregon in future years. These filings are subject to a three year statute of limitations. Our evaluation of income tax positions included the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 which could be subject to agency examinations as of March 31, 2009. No filings are currently under examination. No adjustments have been made to reduce our estimated income tax benefit at fiscal year end. Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with the principles defined in Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

Revenue

Revenue Recognition

The energy sales revenue is recognized when the power is produced and delivered to the customer under the terms defined in the Power Purchase Agreements (“PPA”). Management fee income is recognized when the services have been provided. Royalties and Lease revenues are recognized as the resource has been utilized and other contractual obligations have been met. Revenues from energy credits sales are recognized when the Company has met the terms of certain energy sales agreements with a financially capable buyer and has met the applicable governing regulations.

Revenue Source

All of the Company’s direct and indirect operating revenues originate from energy production from its interests in geothermal power plants located in the states of Idaho and Nevada. All of the management fees and royalty revenues are earned from its subsidiary located in South Eastern Idaho. All of the power sales are earned from a power plant located in North Western Nevada.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in operating revenues in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, were reclassified from other revenues to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications have resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit and net losses presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

During May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles No. 162 (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a direct material impact on its consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

Guaranteed Insurance Contracts

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 is generally effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that SFAS 163 will have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock

During June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether and Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined whether this update will have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ESCROW DEPOSIT ON ACQUISITION

On April 1, 2008, the Company transferred $11,310,686 to the seller from an escrow account related to the acquisition of the geothermal assets located in North Western Nevada.

- -12-


NOTE 4 – RESTRICTED CASH

The Company maintains cash balances that are restricted under Letter of Credit covenants for State and Federal well bonding requirements. These bonds renew on an annual basis. Restricted cash balances and explanations of the nature of the restrictions are summarized as follows:

    March 31,  
State Agency   2009     2008  
             
Idaho Department of Water Resources, Geothermal Well Bond $  260,000   $  260,000

Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, Mineral Land and Reclamation Program   25,000     25,000  
$  485,000   $  285,000  

These bonding requirements ensure that the Company has sufficient financial resources to construct, operate & maintain geothermal wells while safeguarding subsurface, surface and atmospheric resources from unreasonable degradation, and to protect ground water aquifers and surface water sources from contamination. Other future costs of environmental remediation cannot be reasonably estimated and have not been recorded.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Effective May 1, 2008, the Company acquired a production plant and wells located in the San Emidio Desert area north of Reno, Nevada for approximately $4.5 million from Empire Geothermal Power LLC and Michael B. Stewart. The power plant is comprised of four binary cycle units, a wet cooling tower and nine geothermal wells developed in a proven geothermal reservoir. The Company began the expansion of the San Emidio well field with drilling activities that totaled over $1.9 million. The San Emidio well project was still under construction at March 31, 2009.

Construction costs at our project located near Neal Hot Springs, Oregon totaled approximately $2.2 million.

Significant purchases of vehicle furniture and equipment included 3 light trucks, a flow rate separator tank and a rough terrain forklift that amounted to $72,676, $65,415 and $53,450; respectively.

As described in note 14, the Company contributed $300,000 in geothermal and mineral rights to a newly formed company, and the other partner contributed $697,000 in geothermal leases and mineral rights.

NOTE 8 - 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company verified an adjustment of 5 shares required for entitlement shares to be issued for the stock consolidations of Consolidated Mango (1999) and US Cobalt (2003) shares. These shares remain in escrow until the Consolidated Mango and US Cobalt shares are redeemed for U.S. Geothermal Inc. common shares.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 22,134 common shares to an officer of the Company upon exercise of stock options at a strike price of $0.60 CDN.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a Canadian investment dealer, in which an underwriter agreed to purchase 4,260,000 units of the Company’s equity interests. Each unit comprised one common share of the Company’s stock and one half of one common share purchase warrant. The initial offering, completed on April 28, 2008, generated gross proceeds $10,011,000 CDN (approximately $10,154,458) at a price of $2.35 CDN per share. Each warrant will entitle the holder the right to acquire one additional common share of the Company for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering for $3.00 per share. In addition, the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 2,122,500 units at the issue price of the offering, resulting in the issuance of a total of 6,382,500 units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $15 million CDN.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 290,000 common shares at a price of $2.70 per share to the Kosmos Company in exchange for a favorable amendment to the existing royalty agreement.

NOTE 9 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Stock Option 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 Option Plan is a 10% rolling plan approved by shareholders in September 2006, whereby the Company can grant options to the extent of 10% of the current outstanding common shares. Under the plan, all forfeited and exercised options can be replaced with new offerings. As of March 31, 2009, the Company can issue stock option grants totaling up to 6,203,388 shares. Options are granted for a term of up to five years from the date of grant.

Balance outstanding, March 31, 2009   4,239,250   $  1.62   $  1.23   $  5,196,315  

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:

    Year Ended March 31,  
    2009     2008     2007  
                   
Dividend yield   0     0     0  
Expected volatility   71-82%     77-140%     82-149%  
Risk free interest rate   1.74-2.23%     1.74-5.10%     3.94-4.2%  
Expected life (years)   3.25     3.18     3.36  

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 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 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).

-19-


NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157 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.

As required by SFAS No. 157, 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 the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2009 at fair value on a recurring basis:

    Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Assets:                        
Money market accounts $  3,464,906   $  3,464,906   $  -   $  -  
Investment in equity securities   150,169     -     -     150,169  
  $  3,615,075   $  3,464,906   $  -   $  150,169  

On December 14, 2007 the FASB issued a proposed FASB staff position ("FSP") that would amend SFAS 157 to delay its effective date 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. For items within the scope of the proposed FSP the effective date of SFAS 157 would be delayed to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company) and interim periods within those fiscal years. During February 2008, the FASB confirmed and made effective the FSP. The Company has chosen not to implement SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at this time.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

Changes in level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the year ended March 31, 2009:
