Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 7, 2010, East Fork Biodiesel, LLC’s real estate and plant, together with all personal property subject to Farm Credit Services of America, FLCA’s security agreement, were purchased by the assignee of Farm Credit’s judgment, CoBank Farm Credit Holdings, LLC, at a Sheriff’s Sale.  CoBank bid $12,000,000 and there were no other bidders.

On April 29, 2010, Summary Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure was entered against East Fork by the Iowa District Court for Kossuth County, Iowa.  At the time of the Sheriff’s Sale, CoBank’s judgment was in excess of $26,000,000.  

East Fork has no right of redemption.  From and after the receipt of the sheriff's certificate deed through December 31, 2010, East Fork will have a limited right of first refusal to repurchase these assets from CoBank.  If CoBank proposes to sell these assets in a transaction other than a public auction through December 31, 2010, CoBank will first offer East Fork the right to repurchase these assets on the same terms and at the same price that CoBank proposes to sell them.  East Fork does not anticipate obtaining sufficient funds to exercise these limited rights of first refusal to reacquire the assets purchased by CoBank.

­­On September 8, 2010, in exchange for East Fork’s waiver of redemption rights, CoBank paid $100,000 to East Fork, which will be used to proceed with winding up of East Fork’s affairs and liquidating its assets and distributing its assets under the Iowa Limited Liability Company Act (LLC Act). ­­ East Fork’s expects that there will not be any monies or assets available to distribute to its members as part of the winding up of its affairs under the LLC Act.

Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements include the following:
   
· 
East Fork’s ability to collect its remaining assets;
· 
East Fork’s ability to fund the winding up of its affairs, liquidating its assets and distributing its assets under the LLC Act;
· 
East Fork’s receiver’s expectation that there will not be any monies or assets available to distribute to East Fork’s members as part of the winding up of its affairs under the LLC Act; and
        ·  East Fork’s ability to obtain court approval of motions with respect to its application for dissolution prosecuted by East Fork from time to time and obtain a Decree of Dissolution and file Articles of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Iowa under the LLC Act.
   
No assurance can be given as to the amounts, if any, that ultimately will be distributed with respect to East Fork’s liabilities to creditors. Accordingly, East Fork’s receiver urges that the appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities.
