FIRST UNITED ETHANOL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

First United Ethanol, LLC and subsidiary (the “Company”) is located near Camilla, Georgia. The Company operates a 100 million gallon ethanol plant with distribution within the United States. The Company formally began ethanol operations in October 2008.

The Company was formally organized as a limited liability company on March 9, 2005 under the name Mitchell County Research Group, LLC. In September 2005, the Company formally changed its name to First United Ethanol, LLC. In November 2007, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Southwest Georgia Ethanol, LLC (“SWGE”) was formed in conjunction with the debt financing agreement with West LB. First United Ethanol, LLC transferred the majority of its assets and liabilities to Southwest Georgia Ethanol, LLC.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial information of the Company is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary. All material inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and other items, as well as the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Certificates of Deposit

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash balances are maintained in bank depositories and periodically exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in these accounts. The Company segregates cash held in escrow, cash restricted and certificates of deposit restricted for use by debt agreements as non-current.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering customers financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables written off are recorded when received

Inventories

Ethanol and related products, raw materials and work-in-process are valued using methods which approximate the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. In the valuation of inventories and purchase and sale commitments, market is based on current replacement values except that it does not exceed net realizable values and is not less than net realizable values reduced by allowances for approximate normal profit margin.

FIRST UNITED ETHANOL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Inventories

Financing Costs

Financing costs associated with the construction and revolving loans discussed in Note 5 and are recorded at cost and include expenditures directly related to securing debt financing. The Company is amortizing these costs using the effective interest method over the term of the agreement. The financing costs are included in interest expense in the statement of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Buildings		20 Years
Plant and Process Equipment		5-20 Years
Office Furniture and Equipment		3-10 Years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements and betterments are capitalized. The present value of capital lease obligations are classified as long-term debt and the related assets are included in property and equipment. Amortization of assets under capital lease is included in depreciation expense.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations are less than the carrying value of the asset group. An impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In accordance with Company policies, management has evaluated the plant for possible impairment based on projected future cash flows from operations. Management has determined that its projected future cash flows from operations exceed the carrying value of the plant and that no impairment exists at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010.

Investment in Commodities Contracts, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks that the Company manages by using forward or derivative instruments are price risk on anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas.

The Company is subject to market risk with respect to the price and availability of corn, the principal raw material we use to produce ethanol and ethanol by-products. In general, rising corn prices result in lower profit margins and, therefore, represent unfavorable market conditions. This is especially true when market conditions do not allow the Company to pass along increased corn costs to our customers. The availability and price of corn is subject to wide fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather conditions, farmer planting decisions, governmental policies with respect to agriculture and international trade and global demand and supply.

Certain contracts that literally meet the definition of a derivative may be exempted from derivative accounting as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases and normal sales are contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of something other than a financial instrument or derivative instrument that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold over a reasonable period in the normal course of business. Contracts that meet the requirements of normal purchases or sales are documented as such and exempted from the accounting and reporting requirements of derivative accounting.

The Company enters into firm-price purchase commitments every month with its natural gas suppliers under which they agree to buy natural gas at a price set in advance of the actual delivery of that natural gas to us. Under these arrangements, the Company assumes the risk of a price decrease in the market price of natural gas between the time this price is fixed and the time the natural gas is delivered. The Company accounts for these transactions as normal purchases, and accordingly, does not mark these transactions to market nor does the Company record the commitment on the balance sheet.

From time to time, the Company enters into short-term cash, options and futures contracts as a means of securing corn for the ethanol plant and managing exposure to changes in commodity prices. The Company maintains a risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by market fluctuations. The Company’s specific goal is to protect the Company from large moves in commodity costs. All derivatives will be designated as non-hedge derivatives for accounting purposes and the contracts will be accounted for at fair value. Although the contracts will be effective economic hedges of specified risks, they are not designated as and accounted for as hedging instruments.

FIRST UNITED ETHANOL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

As part of its trading activity, the Company uses futures and option contracts offered through regulated commodity exchanges to reduce risk and is exposed to risk of loss in the market value of inventories. To reduce that risk, the Company generally takes positions using cash and futures contracts and options.

To ensure an adequate supply of corn to operate the plant, the Company enters into contracts to purchase corn from local farmers and its major suppliers. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had corn contracts totaling approximately $94,~~271~~838,000 and $300,000, respectively, based upon the average per bushel price.

The Company has also managed a portion of its floating interest rate exposure through the use of interest rate derivative contracts. The Company’s forward LIBOR-based contract reduces risk from interest rate movements as gains and losses on the contract offset portions of the interest rate variability of our variable-rate debt. The notional amount of the swap at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $3630,~~457~~847,~~205~~228 and $47,508,877, respectively. The effect of the swap is to limit the interest rate exposure on the LIBOR component to a fixed rate of 4.04% compared to a variable interest rate. The swap’s notional amount will decrease quarterly to $0 by the termination date of December 31, 2011. The counterparty to the contracts is a large commercial bank, and the Company does not anticipate their nonperformance. The swap is designated as a non-hedge derivative and is ~~accounted~~marked ~~for as market~~ to market. The estimated fair value of this agreement at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009, was a liability of approximately $1858,~~179,667~~000 and $1,772,000.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were as follows:

Commissions are included in cost of goods sold. In addition, shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for the sale of ethanol and related products are included in cost of goods sold.

Deferred revenue is recorded when cash has been received, but the revenue recognition process is not complete. The revenue will be recorded when persuasive evidence exists.

Interest income is recognized as earned.

Net Income (Loss) per Membership Unit

For purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per member unit, units subscribed and issued by the Company are considered outstanding on the effective date of issue and are weighted by days outstanding.

Income taxes

The Company is organized as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and generally does not incur income taxes. Instead, the Company’s earnings and losses are included in the income tax returns of the members. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements. Management has evaluated their material tax positions and determined there is no income tax effect with respect to the financial statements at December 31, 2009. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2005. The Company has not been notified of any impending examinations by tax authorities, and no examinations are in process.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, derivative instruments, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and long-term debt. Management believes the fair value of each of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value on the balance sheet as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of current financial instruments is estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on anticipated interest rates which management believes would currently be available to the Company for similar issues of debt, taking into account the current credit risk of the Company and the other market factors.

Reclassification

Certain items in the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet have been changed to conform to classification adopted for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 with no effect on net income or members’ equity.

West LB Credit Arrangement — Senior Debt

SWGE entered into a senior credit agreement that provided for (1) a construction loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000, which converted to a term loan on February 20, 2009 (“Conversion Date”), (2) a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000 which matures on February 20, 2015 (the “Final Maturity Date”); and (3) a working capital loan in an aggregate amount of up to $15,000,000 which matures February 20, 2011. The primary purpose of the credit facility was to finance the construction and operation of the Company’s ethanol plant.

During the term of the working capital loan, SWGE may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the working capital and letter of credit facility. The principal amount of the term loan facility is payable in quarterly payments ranging from $1,500,000 to $1,600,000 with the remaining principal amounts are fully due and payable on February 20, 2015. Interest is payable quarterly. SWGE has the option to select between two floating interest rate loans under the terms of the senior credit agreement: Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Administrative Agent’s base rate (which is the higher of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and the Administrative Agent’s prime rate) plus 2.75% per annum. Eurodollar Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.75%. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap with WestLB to effectively convert a portion of the variable rate interest into a fixed rate, with the LIBOR component fixed at 4.04% (See Note 1).

Under the terms of the senior credit agreement, SWGE has agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the construction loan/term loan and .20% per annum on the unused portion of the working capital loan. SWGE’s obligations under the senior credit agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, including its equity interest in SWGE.

The senior credit agreement also required SWGE to enter into an accounts agreement among SWGE, Amarillo National Bank, as the Accounts Bank and Securities Intermediary, and WestLB as the collateral agent and administrative agent. Among other things, the accounts agreement establishes certain special, segregated project accounts and establishes procedures for the deposits and withdrawals of funds into these accounts. Substantially all cash of SWGE is required to be deposited into the project accounts subject to security interests to secure obligations in connection with the senior credit. Funds are released from the project accounts in accordance with the terms of the accounts agreement.

As of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had drawn $13,784,129 on the $15,000,000 working capital loan.

FIRST UNITED ETHANOL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

~~On June 7,~~As ~~2010 the Company amended its Senior Credit Agreement and its Accounts Agreement with WestLB. Pursuant to the amended agreements, the Company is required to maintain a certain level~~ of ~~working~~ ~~capital. Pursuant to the amended loan agreements the Company is required to have a working capital deficient of $12,000,000 or less as of~~ June 30, 2010. In the event the Company is unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements the Company will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter for which it is not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest the Company is required to pay on its outstanding debt pursuant to the original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and ~~due February~~September ~~2015~~30, ~~the~~2009, ~~final maturity date for~~ the Company’s ~~outstanding~~had ~~loans~~drawn ~~with West LB. Furthermore~~$13,784,129 ~~and~~on ~~regardless of whether~~ the ~~Company has maintained the required level or working capital, the Company will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of~~ $~~150~~15,000 ~~toward its outstanding working capital loan balance. This arrangement is distinct from~~,000 ~~the borrowing base formula and borrowing base certificates previously utilized to monitor compliance with the Company’s~~ working capital ~~loans.

In the event the Company is unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements the Company will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter for which it is not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest the Company is required to pay on its outstanding debt pursuant to the original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and due February 2015, the final maturity date for the Company’s outstanding loans with West LB. Furthermore, and regardless of whether the Company has maintained the required level or working capital, the Company will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of $150,000 toward its outstanding working capital loan balance. This arrangement is distinct from the borrowing base formula and borrowing base certificates previously utilized to monitor compliance with the Company’s working capital loans. This amendment also removes the borrowing base default triggers from the terms of the loan, thereby removing the requirement for waivers.

Prior to signing the amended loan agreements the Company was required to repay the amount that its working capital loan outstanding exceeded its borrowing base. The Company’s borrowing base was 80% of the value of certain accounts receivable and certain inventory owned by FUEL and was calculated on a monthly basis. The Company was required to deliver to its lender a borrowing base certificate setting forth the data necessary to make the borrowing base calculations. As of April 15, 2010 the Company’s working capital loans exceeded its borrowing base by $5,280,368 and the Company was not able to repay that amount to WestLB. Accordingly, the Company requested and obtained a waiver of the loan agreement covenants requiring it to repay the difference between its working capital loan outstanding and its borrowing base. This waiver was part of the amended loan agreements dated June 7, 2010.

Subordinated Debt Facility

The Company has a subordinated debt financing arrangement pursuant to which the Mitchell County Development Authority issued $10,000,000 of revenue bonds that were placed with Wachovia Bank. The Company signed a promissory note, which is collateralized by the Company’s assets and the proceeds were placed in a Bond Trustee account with Regions Bank. The interest rate for this note is 7.5%. The Company is required to maintain a debt service reserve with the Bond Trustee of at least $1,180,000. This note is subordinated to the West LB debt agreement, which currently prohibits ~~the~~ the Company from making any debt service payments. As a result, the Bond Trustee made the annual interest and principal payment to the bond holders of approximately $1,339,000 in December 2009 from the debt service reserve. The funds held in the Bond Trustee account are classified as non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The subordinated debt is a 15 year note (maturity in December 2011) with annual principal payments each December due to the bond holders in 2010 of $635,000, in 2011 of $530,000, in 2012 of $570,000, in 2013 of $615,000, in 2014 of $660,000 and $6,240,000 thereafter. The $635,000 due in 2010 has been classified as long-term as any payment will come from the debt service fund due to the subordination.

Subordinated Fagen Note

On June 30, 2009, SWGE entered into a subordinated promissory note agreement in the amount of $3,977,545 due Fagen, Inc., a related party, for the remaining design-build contract balance. The note bears interest at 4% through June 30, 2010 and 8% thereafter through maturity on June 30, 2011. Interest is payable quarterly. The first principal payment of $500,000 was due as of September 30, 2009 and annual principal payments of $1,738,772 are due June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. ~~This~~However, this note is subordinated to the West LB debt agreement, which currently prohibits the Company from making these principal payments on the schedule described above, based on the amortization of the West LB debt, the earliest any payment can be made is in 2014, and as such the $3,977,545 is being classified as long-term.

Other Notes Payable

The Company financed the acquisition of certain equipment through two identical notes payable to John Deere Credit. The notes amortize over four years (maturity in August 2012) with monthly principal and interest payments and are secured by the equipment. The interest rate is 5.3%. The combined outstanding balance on these two notes payable is $169,580 and $202,050 as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s balance sheet contains derivative financial instruments and marketable securities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adopted the fair value measurements and disclosures standard, which defines a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.

The notes amortize over four years (maturity in August 2012) with monthly principal and interest payments and are secured by the equipment. The interest rate is 5.3%. The combined outstanding balance on these two notes payable is $153,022 and $202,050 as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

• Level 1 Observable inputs — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; • Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and • Level 3 Unobservable inputs — includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

• Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and

• Level 3 Unobservable inputs — includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company has classified its investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments into these levels depending on the inputs used to determine their fair values. The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist of money market funds restricted by the bond holders which are based on quoted prices and are designated as Level 1. The Company’s derivative instruments consist of commodity positions and an interest rate swap. The fair value of the commodity positions are based on quoted prices on the commodity exchanges and are designated as Level 1 and the fair value of the interest rate swap is based on quoted prices on similar assets or liabilities in active markets and discounts to reflect potential credit risk to lenders and are designated as Level 2.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liquidity

Our liquidity, results of operations and financial performance will be impacted by many variables, including the market price for commodities such as, but not limited to, corn, ethanol and other energy commodities, as well as the market price for any co-products generated by the facility and the cost of labor and other operating costs. Assuming future relative price levels for corn, ethanol and distillers grains remain consistent with the relative price levels as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, the Company expects operations to generate adequate cash flows to maintain operations. ~~The~~This ~~assumptions~~assumption ~~assume~~requires ~~that~~ the Company ~~will~~to be able to sell all the ethanol that is produced at the plant. The Company expects to be able to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months using ~~only~~ only the revolving line of credit, senior credit facility, and earnings from operations.

On June 7, 2010 the Company amended its Senior Credit Agreement and its Accounts Agreement with WestLB. Pursuant to the amended agreements, the Company is required to maintain a certain level of working capital. Pursuant to the amended loan agreements the Company is required to have a working capital deficient of $12,000,000 or less as of June 30, 2010. In the event the Company is unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements the Company will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter for which it is not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest the Company is required to pay on its outstanding debt pursuant to the original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and due February 2015, the final maturity date for the Company’s outstanding loans with West LB. Furthermore, and regardless of whether the Company has maintained the required level or working capital, the Company will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of $150,000 toward its outstanding working capital loan balance. This arrangement is distinct from the borrowing base formula and borrowing base certificates previously utilized to monitor compliance with the Company’s working capital loans. This amendment also removes the borrowing base default triggers from the terms of the loan, thereby removing the requirement for waivers.

Prior to signing the amended loan agreements the Company was required to repay the amount that its working capital loan outstanding exceeded its borrowing base. The Company’s borrowing base was 80% of the value of certain accounts receivable and certain inventory owned by FUEL and was calculated on a monthly basis. The Company was required to deliver to its lender a borrowing base certificate setting forth the data necessary to make the borrowing base calculations. As of April 15, 2010 the Company’s working capital loans exceeded its borrowing base by $5,280,368 and the Company was not able to repay that amount to WestLB. Accordingly, the Company requested and obtained a waiver of the loan agreement covenants requiring it to repay the difference between its working capital loan outstanding and its borrowing base. This waiver is part of the amended loan agreements dated June 7, 2010.

Overview

First United Ethanol, LLC (“we,” “us,” “FUEL,” “First United,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Georgia limited liability company on March 9, 2005, for the purpose of raising capital to develop, construct, own and operate a 100 million gallon per year ethanol plant near Camilla, Georgia. We completed construction of our ethanol plant in October 2008 and plant operations commenced on October 10, 2008. We are currently in our second year of plant operations. In our first year of plant ~~operation~~operations we processed approximately 29 million bushels of corn producing 81 million gallons of denatured fuel grade ethanol, 214,000 tons of dried distillers grains and 7,000 tons of wet distillers grains.

Our revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of our ethanol and distillers grains primarily in the southeastern United States. Our ethanol plant currently operates at or near its nameplate capacity. A significant percentage of our corn is supplied to us by train and is originated primarily from the eastern Corn Belt; however, we are able to originate an increasing percentage of our corn from local producers. Currently, approximately 93 ~~percent~~% of our ethanol is ~~being~~ being shipped out of our facility by truck to local and regional blending terminals. Additionally, as of the date of this report, approximately 98.5 ~~percent~~% of our dried distillers grains are being shipped out of our facility by truck to local livestock and poultry operations.

There have been a number of recent developments in legislation that impacts the ethanol industry. One such development concerns the federal Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS). The ethanol industry is benefited by the RFS which requires that a certain amount of renewable fuels must be used in the United States each year. In February 2010, the EPA issued new regulations governing the RFS. These new regulations have been called RFS2. ~~The most controversial part of~~ RFS2 ~~involves~~ ~~what is commonly referred to~~ as ~~the lifecycle analysis of greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, the EPA~~ adopted rules to determine which renewable fuels provided sufficient reductions in greenhouse gases, compared to conventional gasoline, to qualify under the RFS program. RFS2 establishes a tiered approach, where regular renewable fuels are required to accomplish a 20% greenhouse gas reduction compared to gasoline, advanced biofuels and biomass-based biodiesel must accomplish a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases, and cellulosic biofuels must accomplish a 60% reduction in greenhouse gases. Any fuels that fail to meet this standard cannot be used by ~~fuel blenders to satisfy their obligations under~~ the RFS program. The scientific method of calculating these greenhouse gas reductions has been a contentious issue. Many in the ethanol industry were concerned that corn based ethanol would not meet the 20% greenhouse gas reduction requirement based on certain parts of the environmental impact model that many in the ethanol industry believed was scientifically suspect. However, RFS2 as adopted by the EPA provides that corn-based ethanol from modern ethanol production processes does meet the definition of a renewable fuel under the RFS program. ~~Further, certain provisions of RFS2 as adopted may disproportionately~~ benefit ethanol produced from sugarcane. This could make sugarcane based ethanol, which is primarily produced in Brazil, more competitive in the United States ethanol market. If this were to occur, it could reduce demand for the ethanol that we produce.

In addition to RFS2 which included greenhouse gas reduction requirements, in 2009, California passed a Low Carbon Fuels Standard (LCFS). The California LCFS requires that renewable fuels used in California must accomplish certain reductions in greenhouse gases which is measured using a lifecycle analysis, similar to RFS2. Management believes that this lifecycle analysis is based on unsound scientific principles that unfairly disadvantages corn based ethanol. ~~Management believes that these new regulations will preclude corn based ethanol from being used in California. California represents a significant ethanol demand market.~~ If weour ~~are~~industry is unable to supply ethanol to California, it could significantly reduce demand for the ethanol we produce. ~~Currently,~~Several ~~several~~ lawsuits have been filed by industry groups challenging the California LCFS.

Ethanol production in the United States is benefited by various tax incentives. The most significant of these tax incentives is the federal Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC). VEETC provides a volumetric ethanol excise tax credit of 45 cents per gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline. VEETC is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2010. If this tax credit is not renewed, it likely would have a negative impact on the price of ethanol and demand for ethanol in the marketplace. The current debate in the U.S. Congress, about deficit spending and energy policy indicates that it is possible that VEETC may not be renewed. If the VEETC that benefits the ethanol industry is allowed to expire, it could negatively impact demand for ethanol and may harm our financial condition.

However, the bills passed by the House and Senate must be reconciled and the final bill must be signed by the President before the biodiesel blenders’ tax credit will be reinstated. If the VEETC that benefits the ethanol industry is allowed to expire, it could negatively impact demand for ethanol and may harm our financial condition.

Revenues

Our revenues from operations come from two primary sources: sales of fuel ethanol and sales of distillers grains.

The following table shows the sources of our revenue for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and 2009.

Our ethanol revenue ~~has~~ increased ~~sharply~~ during the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009 as a result of increased ~~production~~ethanol ~~and~~sales. However, our increased ethanol sales were mitigated by a lower per gallon sales price. Our ethanol sales prices for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased approximately 5.5% compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2009. We sold approximately 2221,~~900~~750,000 gallons of ethanol during the ~~three~~ three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 ~~at an average price of $1.85 per gallon,~~ compared to approximately 2120,~~500~~300,000 gallons of ethanol sold during the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009 ~~at an average price of $1~~.~~61 per gallon.~~

Our distillers grain revenue ~~also~~decreased ~~increased~~ during the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. We sold approximately 5954,000 tons of dried distillers grains and approximately 298,000 tons of wet distillers grains during the three month period ended June 30, 2010. ~~which~~During isthe ancomparable ~~increase~~period ofin 2009 we sold approximately 23 2,000 fewer tons ~~compared~~of todried distillers ~~the~~grains ~~quarter~~and ~~ended~~approximately ~~March 31~~6,000 ~~2009.~~more Intons ~~addition~~of towet distillers grains. Despite the overall increase in distillers grains production and sales we ~~also~~ experienced andecrease ~~increase~~ in the sales price of both our dried distillers grains ~~of approximately 7 percent. Our average selling price for our dried distillers grains~~ and our wet distillers grains. ~~for~~For ~~our~~example, ~~quarter~~during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, ~~was~~the market price of dried distillers grains decreased approximately ~~$136~~ 18.003% compared ~~per~~to ~~ton~~the ~~and~~three ~~$22.00~~month ~~per~~period ~~ton~~ended June 30, ~~respectively~~2009.

We anticipate receiving higher ethanol prices during the remaining summer months due to a recent increase in the demand for gasoline and ethanol. However, if the price of ethanol were to decrease and remain low for an extended period of time it would have significant negative impact on our liquidity, even if our raw material costs remain steady. We anticipate that the price of distillers grains will continue to fluctuate in reaction to changes in the price of corn. The ethanol industry needs to continue to expand the market for distillers grains in order to maintain current price levels.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold was approximately $44,969,000 or 103% of our revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to approximately $46,263,000 or 105% of our revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. Our two primary costs of producing ethanol and distillers grains are the cost of corn and natural gas. Approximately 78% of our cost of goods sold is attributable to corn costs and approximately 9% is attributable to natural gas costs.

~~Cost~~Our other costs of ~~Goods~~goods ~~Sold~~sold include denaturant, process chemicals, electricity, transportation, and direct labor. Together these costs represent approximately 13% of our cost of goods sold. We do not anticipate these costs to be as volatile as our corn and natural gas expenses. However, our transportation, electrical and denaturant costs are directly tied to the price of energy generally and, therefore, may fluctuate along with the price of petroleum based energy products.

~~Our~~At ~~cost of goods sold was approximately $49,800,000 or 97.6~~June ~~percent of our revenues for the three month period ended March 31~~30, 2010, ~~compared~~and ~~to approximately $47,600,000 or 110.5~~September ~~percent of our revenues for the three month period ended March 31~~30, 2009., ~~Our two primary costs of producing ethanol and distillers grains are~~ the ~~cost~~Company ofhad ~~corn~~forward ~~and natural gas.

We expect continued volatility in the price of corn, which could significantly impact our cost of goods sold. Our~~ average ~~price paid for our corn feedstock for our quarter ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $4.61~~ per bushel price.

Our other costs of goods sold include denaturant, process chemicals, electricity, transportation, and direct labor. Together these costs represent approximately 17 percent of our cost of goods sold. We do not anticipate these costs to be as volatile as our corn and natural gas expenses. However, our transportation, electrical and denaturant costs are directly tied to the price of energy generally and, therefore, may fluctuate along with the price of petroleum based energy products.

At March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had corn contracts totaling approximately $9,270,000 and $300,000, respectively, based upon the average per bushel price.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.1 ~~percent~~% for the ~~three~~ three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, and our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.~~9 percent~~7% for the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, employee benefits, and professional fees. Our general and administrative expenses have been decreasing since beginning operations due to our ability to make our internal operations more efficient.

Operating Income (Loss)

Our ~~income~~loss from operations for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 was 03.3 ~~percent~~% of our revenues, our loss for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009 was 137.~~4 percent~~7% of our revenues. ~~The operating income (loss) is primarily the result of our cost of goods sold relative to our revenues during these two quarters of operations.~~ We had an operating loss for ~~the~~these ~~quarter~~periods ~~ended March 31, 2009~~ because we had high input prices relative to our ethanol and distillers grains revenues. ~~In addition,~~This wecoincided ~~were~~with ~~unable~~a tosoft ~~operate~~demand ~~the~~cycle ~~plant~~in atthe ~~full~~ethanol ~~capacity~~market ~~because~~thereby ~~of operational issues~~limiting ~~involved~~the ~~during~~volume ~~plant~~of ~~start-up.~~ethanol Asthat acould ~~result,~~be wesold ~~had~~at ~~negative~~favorable ~~operating~~price ~~margins~~levels. ~~for~~Subsequent ~~the~~to our quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2009.

Other (Expense)

We had total other expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $1,800,000 resulting primarily from our interest expense for the period. Interest expense for the period was approximately $2,119,000 which was offset by an unrealized gain of approximately $322,000 for the change in fair value of our interest rate swap.

Other (Expense)

We had total other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of approximately $1,800,000 resulting primarily from our interest expense for the period. Interest expense for the period was approximately $2,100,000 which was offset by an unrealized gain of approximately $250,000 for the change in fair value of our interest rate swap.

During the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, the market price of dried distillers grains decreased approximately ~~7 percent~~18.3% compared to the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. If our average ~~price~~ price received per ton of dried distillers grains had been $101.00 lower, our gross margin for the ~~quarter~~ quarter would have decreased by approximately $~~595~~53,~~000~~752, assuming our other revenues and costs ~~remained~~ remained unchanged.

During the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, the market price of corn on a per gallon basis decreased by approximately 113.~~3 percent~~7% compared to the three month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. ~~Our~~ ~~average price per bushel of corn was $4.61.~~ If our average price paid per bushel of corn had been $0.1025 higher, our gross margin for the quarter would have decreased by approximately $~~803~~1,~~000~~847, 455, assuming our other revenues and costs remained unchanged.

~~Revenues~~In the nine month period ended June 30, 2010, ethanol sales comprised approximately 83% of our revenues and distillers grains sales comprised approximately 17% of our revenues. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2009, ethanol sales comprised approximately 81% of our revenue, without accounting for ethanol hedging, and distillers grains sales comprised approximately 19% of our revenue. Our revenues were higher for our first three quarters of fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 primarily as a result of our increase in ethanol production and an increase in the sales price of our ethanol.

InThe average ethanol sales price we received for the ~~six~~nine month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, ~~ethanol sales comprised~~ was approximately ~~83.8 percent~~7% ofhigher than our ~~revenues~~average ~~and~~ethanol ~~distillers grains~~ sales ~~comprised~~price ~~approximately~~for ~~16.2 percent~~the ofcomparable ~~our revenues~~2009 period.

The price we received for our dried distillers grains decreased by approximately 9 percent during the six month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. Management attributes this decrease in the price of our dried distillers grains to an decrease in the demand for our distillers grains outside of our local market area. Our local market has also experienced an increase in the supply of dried distillers grains from other sources which has placed downward pressure on the price we receive for our distillers grains. Finally, the price of dried distillers grains changes in proportion to the price of corn, which has decreased in the six month period ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, we anticipate that the market price of distillers grains will continue to be volatile as a result of changes in the price of corn and competing animal feed substitutes such as soybean meal.

Cost of Sales

Our costs of goods sold as a percentage of revenues were approximately ~~90 percent~~94% for the ~~six month~~nine month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to approximately ~~111 percent~~109% for the same period of 2009. Our two largest costs of production are corn (~~74 percent~~78% of cost of goods sold for our ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010) and natural gas (9 ~~percent~~% of cost of goods sold for our ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010). Our cost of goods sold ~~increased~~decreased by approximately 15 ~~percent~~% in the ~~six months~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009, and our revenue for ~~the~~ the same period increased by approximately ~~42 percent~~4.5%. This ~~increase~~decrease in the cost of goods sold is primarily a result of ~~steady~~weaker corn prices combined with an increase in the volume of corn processed at our facility.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were ~~significantly~~ lower for the ~~six~~ nine month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 than they were for the same period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. These percentages were approximately 2.~~0 percent~~1% and approximately 3.~~5 percent~~2% for the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in legal fees and the costs associated with the initial training of our personnel during the first few months of plant operations. Our management and staff has also increased operating efficiencies and made a concerted effort to lower our general and administrative expenses. We expect that going forward our general and administrative expenses will remain relatively steady.

Operating Income (Loss)

Our income from operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 was approximately 84.~~2 percent~~3% of our revenues compared to loss of approximately 1412.~~8 percent~~2% of our revenues for the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2009. This increase in our profitability is primarily due to the increase ~~of approximately $0.40 per gallon~~ in the price we received for our ethanol for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~ June 3130, 2010 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~ June 3130, 2009. ~~Ethanol~~combined ~~revenue~~with ~~was~~a ~~very~~decrease ~~strong during~~in ~~the~~our ~~first~~costs ~~quarter~~ of ~~this~~goods ~~fiscal~~sold ~~year~~during the same timeframe.

Other (Expense)

Other expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, was approximately 3.~~3 percent~~6% of our ~~revenue~~ revenue and totaled approximately $35,~~600~~405,000. Other expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009 ~~totaled~~ totaled approximately $69,~~688~~280,000 and was approximately 87.~~8 percent~~7% of our revenues. The decrease is attributable to less interest expense and favorable unrealized gains on our interest rate swap. Interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, was approximately $46,~~200~~320,000. Interest expense for the nine ~~six~~ months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009 was approximately $57,~~000~~990,000. This reduction in interest expense is due primarily to a reduction in our outstanding debt and fluctuations in interest rates.

Changes in Financial Condition for the ~~Six~~Nine Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and 2009

We experienced an increase in our current assets at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, we had been experiencing positive margins which enabled us to ~~increase our inventory of corn and to~~ hold additional cash. We had approximately $1,~~400~~735,000 more cash on hand at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009. However, at ~~March 31~~June 30, 2010 we had accounts receivable of approximately $3,~~886~~222,000 compared to approximately $4,081,000 of accounts receivable at September 30, 2009.

Our net property and equipment was slightly lower at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 as a result of depreciation expense taken for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010. We do not expect any significant additional capital expenditures as our plant is now complete.

We experienced a decrease in our total current liabilities on ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 and also a decrease in our long-term liabilities as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 compared to to September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of principal payments made on our long-term debt. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, we had approximately $99100,~~450~~711,000 outstanding in the form of long-term loans, less current maturities, compared to approximately $103,~~300~~325,000 at September 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have completed approximately twenty-one months of operations as of the filing of this report. The relative price levels of corn, ethanol and distillers grains have resulted in tight, and sometimes negative, operating margins. We had positive earnings for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010. However, if substantial losses return, or if we are unable to obtain additional working capital, liquidity concerns may require us to curtail operations or pursue other actions that could adversely affect future operations.

~~Liquidity~~In June 2010 we amended our Senior Credit Agreement and ~~Capital~~our ~~Resources~~Accounts Agreement with WestLB. Pursuant to the amended loan agreements we were required to have a working capital deficit of $12,000,000 or less as of June 30, 2010. We met that requirement by having a working capital deficit at June 30, 2010 of approximately $11,100,000. The required working capital threshold tightens for the quarters ending September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010. We are required to have a working capital deficit of $9,000,000 or less as of September 30, 2010 and $7,000,000 or less as of December 31, 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 the working capital deficit requirement will remain at $7,000,000 for the term of the loan.

Pursuant to the amended loan agreements we are required to have a working capital deficient of $12,000,000 or less as of~~ June 30, 2010. In the event we are unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements we will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter we are not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest we are required to pay on our outstanding debt pursuant to our original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and ~~due February 2015, the final~~2009: maturity date our outstanding loans with West LB. Furthermore, and regardless of whether we have maintained the required level or working capital, we will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of $150,000 toward our outstanding working capital loan balance. This arrangement is distinct from the borrowing base formula and borrowing base certificates previously utilized to monitor compliance with our working capital loans. This amendment also removes the borrowing base default triggers from the terms of the loan, thereby removing the requirement for waivers.

Prior to signing the amended loan agreements we were required to repay the amount that our working capital loan outstanding exceeded our borrowing base. Our borrowing base was 80% of the value of certain accounts receivable and certain inventory owned by FUEL and was calculated on a monthly basis. We were required to deliver to our lender a borrowing base certificate setting forth the data necessary to make the borrowing base calculations. As of April 15, 2010 our working capital loans exceeded our borrowing base by $5,280,368 and we were not able to repay that amount to WestLB. Accordingly, we requested and obtained a waiver of the loan agreement covenants requiring us to repay the difference between our working capital loan outstanding and our borrowing base. This waiver is part of the amended loan agreements dated June 7, 2010 and we are currently in compliance with all aspects our loan agreements.

Investing Cash Flows: Cash used in investing activities was $198,865 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This amount is small when compared to the $3,469,014 used in investing activities for nine months ended June 30, 2009, when we finished investing in our property and equipment to complete the plant.

Assuming future relative price levels for corn, ethanol and distillers grains remain consistent with the relative price levels as of June 30, 2010 and assuming we have the liquidity necessary to operate the plant at nameplate capacity, we expect operations to generate adequate cash flows to maintain operations. This ~~amount~~expectation assumes isthat ~~small~~we ~~when~~will ~~compared~~be able to sell all the ~~$4,341,000~~ethanol ~~used~~that inis produced at the plant.

Financing Cash Flows: Cash used in financing activities was approximately $3,663,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and was primarily for the repayment of long-term debt and capital lease obligations. During our six months ended March 31, 2009 we received notes and line of credit proceeds of approximately $21,000,000 to fund our property and equipment as well as our working capital.

Our liquidity, results of operations and financial performance will be impacted by many variables, including the market price for commodities such as, but not limited to, corn, ethanol and other energy commodities, as well as the market price for any co-products generated by the facility and the cost of labor and other operating costs. Assuming future relative price levels for corn, ethanol and distillers grains remain consistent with the relative price levels as of March 31, 2010 and assuming we have the liquidity necessary to operate the plant at nameplate capacity, we expect operations to generate adequate cash flows to maintain operations. This expectation assumes that we will be able to sell all the ethanol that is produced at the plant. We expect to be able to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months using only our revolving line of credit, senior credit facility, and earnings from operations.

Senior Credit Facility

On November 20, 2007, First United and Southwest Georgia Ethanol, LLC (“SWGE”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a senior credit agreement with WestLB that provides for (1) a construction loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000 which converted to a term loan on February 20, 2009 (the “Conversion Date”) which matures on February 20, 2015 (the “Final Maturity Date”); and (2) a working capital loan in an aggregate amount of up to $15,000,000 which matures on February 20, 2011. The primary purpose of the senior credit facility was to finance the construction and operation of our ethanol plant.

The principal amount of the term loan facility is payable in quarterly payments ranging from $1,500,000 to $1,600,000, and the remaining principal amounts are fully due and payable on the Final Maturity Date. We made the first ~~two~~three quarterly term loan payments ofdue ~~$1,500,000~~through ~~and $1,600,000 as of March~~June 3130, 2010. ~~However, if we are unable to make this quarterly payment in the~~ ~~future our lender may deem us to be in default of our loans.~~

On June 7, 2010 we amended our Senior Credit Agreement and our Accounts Agreement with WestLB. Pursuant to the amended agreements, we are required to maintain a certain level of working capital. Pursuant to the amended loan agreements we are required to have a working capital deficient of $12,000,000 or less as of June 30, 2010. In the event we are unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements we will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter we are not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest we are required to pay on our outstanding debt pursuant to our original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and due February 2015, the final maturity date our outstanding loans with West LB. Furthermore, and regardless of whether we have maintained the required level or working capital, we will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of $150,000 toward our outstanding working capital loan balance. This arrangement is distinct from the borrowing base formula and borrowing base certificates previously utilized to monitor compliance with our working capital loans. This amendment also removes the borrowing base default triggers from the terms of the loan, thereby removing the requirement for waivers.

Prior to signing the amended loan agreements we were required to repay the amount that our working capital loan outstanding exceeded our borrowing base. Our borrowing base was 80% of the value of certain accounts receivable and certain inventory owned by FUEL and was calculated on a monthly basis. We were required to deliver to our lender a borrowing base certificate setting forth the data necessary to make the borrowing base calculations. As of April 15, 2010 our working capital loans exceeded our borrowing base by $5,280,368 and we were not able to repay that amount to WestLB. Accordingly, we requested and obtained a waiver of the loan agreement covenants requiring us to repay the difference between our working capital loan outstanding and our borrowing base and to report our borrowing base calculations to WestLB. This waiver is part of the amended loan agreements dated June 7, 2010 and we are currently in compliance with all aspects our loan agreements.

Subordinated Debt

On November 30, 2006, we closed a subordinated debt financing arrangement pursuant to which the Mitchell County Development Authority issued $10,000,000 of revenue bonds that were placed with Wachovia Bank. We signed a promissory note, which is collateralized by our assets and the proceeds were placed in a Bond Trustee account with Regions Bank. The interest rate for this note is 7.5 ~~percent~~%. We are required to maintain a debt service reserve with the Bond Trustee in the amount of $1,180,000. The Bond Trustee made the annual interest and principal payment to the bond holders of approximately $1,339,000 in December 2009. The funds held in the Bond Trustee account are classified as non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet. The subordinated debt is a 15 year note with principal payments to be made to bond holders each December. The principal payment due in December 2010 is $635,000.

On June 30, 2009 we agreed on the amount due to Fagen, Inc. for retainage withheld under our design-build contract. As consideration for Fagen, Inc.’s completion of our facility, we executed a subordinated promissory note dated June 30, 2009 in favor of Fagen, Inc. in the amount of approximately $4,000,000. The first principal payment of $500,000 was due September 30, 2009 and annual principal payments of $1,738,772 are due June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. The note is subordinated to the WestLB debt agreement, which currently prohibits the Company from making any principal payments on the schedule described above.

Other Notes Payable

We have financed the acquisition of certain equipment through two notes payable to John Deere Credit. The notes amortize over four years with monthly principal and interest payments and are secured by the equipment. The interest rate is 5.3%. The combined outstanding balance on these two notes payable is $~~169~~153,~~580~~022 and $202,050 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Our long-term debt outstanding as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 is summarized as follows:

West LB Term Loan, variable interest rates from 4.00% to 7.81%	$	9593,~~400~~800,000

~~Debt Covenants~~23

~~Prior~~Debt ~~to signing the amended loan agreements we were required to repay the amount that our~~Covenants working capital loan outstanding exceeded our borrowing base. Our borrowing base was 80% of the value of certain accounts receivable and certain inventory owned by FUEL and was calculated on a monthly basis. We were required to deliver to our lender a borrowing base certificate setting forth the data necessary to make the borrowing base calculations. As of April 15, 2010 our working capital loans exceeded our borrowing base by $5,280,368 and we were not able to repay that amount to WestLB. Accordingly, we requested and obtained a waiver of the loan agreement covenants requiring us to repay the difference between our working capital loan outstanding and our borrowing base and to report our borrowing base calculations to WestLB. This waiver is part of the amended loan agreements dated June 7, 2010 and we are currently in compliance with all aspects our loan agreements.

Pursuant to the amended loan agreements we were required to have a working capital deficit of $12,000,000 or less as of June 30, 2010. We met that requirement by having a working capital deficit at June 30, 2010 of approximately $11,100,000. The required working capital threshold tightens for the quarters ending September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010. We are required to have a working capital deficit of $9,000,000 or less as of September 30, 2010 and $7,000,000 or less as of December 31, 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 the working capital deficit requirement will remain at $7,000,000 for the term of the loan.

In the event we are unable to meet the level of working capital required under the amended loan agreements we will be assessed a five percent (5%) fee on the outstanding loans for any quarter we are not in compliance. This fee payment is in addition to the interest we are required to pay on our outstanding debt pursuant to our original loan agreements. This additional interest fee will be accrued and due February 2015, the final maturity date our outstanding loans with West LB. Furthermore, and regardless of whether we have maintained the required level or working capital, we will be required to make an additional quarterly principal payment of $150,000 toward our outstanding working capital loan balance.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. The fair value of our cash and equivalents approximates their carrying value.

Derivative Instruments

We occasionally enter into short-term cash grain, option and futures contracts as a means of securing corn for the ethanol plant and managing exposure to changes in commodity. We may also enter into short-term forward, option and futures contracts for sales of ethanol to manage exposure to changes in energy prices. All of our derivatives are designated as non-hedge derivatives, and accordingly are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Although the contracts are considered economic hedges of specified risks, they are not designated as and accounted for as hedging instruments.

As part of our trading activity, we use futures and option contracts offered through regulated commodity exchanges to reduce our risk and we are exposed to risk of loss in the market value of inventories. To reduce that risk, we generally take positions using cash and futures contracts and options.

Unrealized gains and losses related to derivative contracts for corn purchases are included as a component of cost of goods sold and derivative contracts related to ethanol sales are included as a component of revenues in the accompanying financial statements. The fair values of derivative contracts are presented on the accompanying balance sheet as derivative financial instruments.

Lower of cost or market accounting for inventory and forward purchase contracts

With the significant change in the prices of our main inputs and outputs, the lower of cost or market analysis of inventories and purchase commitments can have a significant impact on our financial performance. The impact of market activity related to pricing of corn and ethanol will require us to continuously evaluate the pricing of our inventory and purchase commitments under a lower of cost or market analysis.

Impairment Analysis

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations are less than the carrying value of the asset group. An impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In accordance with our policies, management has evaluated the plant for possible impairment based on projected future cash flows from operations. Management has determined that its projected future cash flows from operations exceed the carrying value of the plant and that no impairment exists at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, derivative instruments, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. Management believes the fair value of each of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value in the balance sheet as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of current financial instruments is estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on anticipated interest rates which management believes would currently be available to the Company for similar issues of debt, taking into account the current credit risk of the Company and the other market factors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

If the Federal Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (“VEETC”) expires on December 31, 2010, it could negatively impact our profitability. The ethanol industry is benefited by VEETC which is a federal excise tax credit of 45 cents per gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline. This excise tax credit is referred to as the blenders credit and is set to expire on December 31, 2010. Although the blenders’ credit is not paid to the ethanol producer, we believe that VEETC positively impacts the price of ethanol. If the portion of VEETC that benefits ethanol is allowed to expire, it could negatively impact the price we receive for our ethanol and could negatively impact our profitability.

If the secondary tariff on imported ethanol is allowed to expire in January 2011, we could see an increase in ethanol produced in foreign countries being marked in the Untied States which could negatively impact our profitability. The secondary tariff on imported ethanol is a 54 cent per gallon tariff on ethanol imports from certain foreign countries. The secondary tariff on imported ethanol is scheduled to expire in January 2011. If this tariff is allowed to expire, an influx of imported ethanol on the domestic ethanol market could have a significant negative impact on ethanol prices and our profitability.
