CEO Overview

As East Fork Biodiesel continues to strive to begin operation, there have been a couple of personnel changes at the plant including my addition to the team as CEO in September. My experience covers over 20 years of manufacturing experience in several industries. During the last three years, I served as General Manager of biodiesel operations for Western Iowa Energy in Wall Lake, Iowa and Northern Bio Energy in Huxley, Iowa.

Unfortunately, our plant continues to be idle due to our lack of working capital. As was discussed at the annual member meeting, East Fork’s working capital loan was terminated in June as part of our loan restructuring agreement with Farm Credit. Since June, our focus has been on securing a line of credit to replace our prior working capital loan. To date, we have been unsuccessful. Feedback we have received since June from prospective lenders suggests that East Fork will have a very difficult time securing working capital without first obtaining additional equity capital. Soybean oil market prices and biodiesel prices currently offer an opportunity for us to profitably operate our plant, if we could obtain working capital of at least $10,000,000 to secure the cash we need to purchase soybean oil. However, given the current credit crisis, it is unlikely that in the foreseeable future a financial institution will provide us with a working capital line of credit.

We continue to pursue alternatives to secure the financing needed to begin plant operations. Several East Fork members have suggested that we seek participation of our current members in funding our

working capital needs. This could take the form of purchasing additional membership units or through loans to East Fork. I would like to hear more from members about their interest in providing working capital to East Fork. Please contact me by email at chris.daniel@eastforkbiodiesel.com or call me at 515-395-8888 with your comments and opinions on this option.

We have an exceptional facility and input prices are moving in the right direction. Yet, without adequate working capital, our options include: selling the plant and paying off the loans to Farm Credit, selling our assets or merging with another entity or seeking bankruptcy court relief including seeking court-mandated refinancing terms with Farm Credit.

I thank you for your support of East Fork Biodiesel during this challenging time.

Sincerely,

Chris Daniel

Chief Executive Officer
