Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On August 5, 2009, our subsidiary, POET™ Biorefining — Big Stone (hereinafter referred to as “Big Stone”) renewed with its lender, U.S. Bank National Association, a $9.0 million variable rate, revolving loan. Under the amendment, the new maturity date for the $9.0 million revolving loan is extended from July 28, 2009 to July 26, 2010. The new interest rate is LIBOR plus 4.0%, adjusted and due monthly. Under the loan, Big Stone may borrow, on a revolving basis, the difference of the outstanding principal amount and the lesser of i) the borrowing base and ii) $9.0 million. The borrowing base is defined as 75% of the total of i) fair market value of the outstanding inventory, ii) eligible accounts receivable, and iii) hedging accounts at fair market value. The total unpaid principal balance is due at maturity. In the event the unpaid principal balance exceeds the borrowing base, an amount not less than the difference between the balance and borrowing base is owed to U.S. Bank. The note is subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per year and prepayment is without penalty.

We plan to file the revised promissory note as an exhibit with our next periodic report.
