Going Concern, Management's Plan and Subsequent Events	Going Concern, Management's Plans and Subsequent Events The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Through December 31, 2011, the Company has generated accumulated losses of $20,060,030, has experienced significant volatility in its input costs and undertaken significant borrowings to finance the construction of the biodiesel plant. The loan agreements with the Company's lender contained covenants which the Company was not in compliance with as of December 31, 2011. However, on January 11, 2012 the Company's lender waived these violations and entered into a restructured agreement which extends the maturity date of the debt through January 5, 2013. See Note 4 for details of restructured debt agreement terms. This restructured debt agreement includes revised covenants including, the requirement to maintain tangible net worth of at least $2 million through June 30, 2012 and at least $2.25 million from July 1, 2012 until the maturity date of the loans on January 5, 2013. The Company is also required to maintain a cash flow coverage ratio (monthly EBITDA divided by monthly principal and interest payments) of 1:1 starting in February 2012. Also on January 13, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Gavilon, LLC (Gavilon) that the Company will purchase from Gavilon all of the feedstock that is required to produce biodiesel during calendar year 2012 and that the Company will sell all of the biodiesel produced to Gavilon. This is an exclusive relationship where the Company has agreed not to purchase feedstock from any other supplier and not to produce biodiesel for any other customers during calendar year 2012. In exchange for this exclusive relationship, Gavilon has agreed to purchase a minimum amount of biodiesel from the Company during calendar year 2012 which equals approximately 50% to 70% of the Company's total production capacity, depending on which feedstock is used. In the event Gavilon does not purchase the minimum amount of biodiesel during any month, Gavilon has agreed to make a minimum cash payment. This agreement renews annually unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of nonrenewal no less than 90 days prior to the end of the initial or then-current renewal period. Management anticipates that this agreement with Gavilon will allow the Company to operate profitably during our fiscal year 2012 and to recommence making payments on our long-term loan with our primary lender and to remain in compliance with our loan covenants during our fiscal year 2012, although there can be no assurances.
