PART III -- NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant is unable, without unreasonable effort and expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”) on a timely basis due to delays in completion of the audit of the Registrant’s audited financial statements required to be included in the Form 10-K.  The Registrant did not have sufficient cash on hand to pay its independent registered public accounting firm, Imowitz Koenig & Co., LLP (“Imowitz”) for services performed.  On February 27, 2009, Imowitz advised the Registrant that it could not begin work on the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements until it was paid the amount owed to it.  Given the Registrant’s insufficient cash resources at that time, it was not able to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit.  The Registrant generated cash from the sale of its shares of common stock of New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. on March 18, 2009 and used a portion of the proceeds from that sale to partially pay the amount owed to Imowitz.  See our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009, for more information regarding the sale of our New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. common stock.

Imowitz began work on the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements on March 21, 2009.  The Registrant anticipates that it will file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Pursuant to Rule 12b-25, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the statement of Imowitz.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). x Yes o No
 
 
 

 
 

 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

x Yes   o No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

It is anticipated that the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 will show a significant change in results of operation compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of the Registrant’s decision to focus its operations on the development of renewable energy projects, such as biomass gasification and landfill gas-to-energy projects, and to exit its legacy ethanol business.  The Registrant’s only source of revenue during 2008 was from its sales of ethanol and related products at its Blairstown, Iowa ethanol plant.  As a result of its decision to pursue the development of renewable energy projects and  high prices for corn and natural gas, the Registrant ceased production of ethanol at the Blairstown facility on May 1, 2008 to reduce its operating losses.  Accordingly, after May 1, 2008, the Registrant did not generate any revenue from operations.

As a result of this decision to exit its legacy ethanol business and to cease producing ethanol as of May 1, 2008, the Registrant  estimates that net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to approximately $3.8 million compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.  However, the Registrant estimates that its net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 will be approximately $13.2 million, or $.46 per share, compared to a net loss of $31.3 million, or $1.09 per share, for the prior year.
