Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Officers, Directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, and based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our officers and Directors, no late Section 16(a) filings were made during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

Code of Ethics

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth standards regarding matters such as honest and ethical conduct, compliance with the law, and full, fair, accurate, and timely disclosure in reports and documents that we file with the SEC and in other public communications.

The Board of Directors created an audit committee in January 2007. The audit committee consists of Larry Rippey, Mark Cobb and Ed Hershberger.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

During our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, we engaged in the following related party transactions:

Cobb Oil Inc. ("Cobb Oil") is an entity owned by Mark Cobb, who also serves as a Director on our Board.  Cobb Oil purchased approximately $105,000 in biodiesel from us during our 2011 fiscal year. In addition, we purchased approximately $14,000 in products from Cobb Oil during our 2011 fiscal year.  Mr. Cobb did not participate in discussions related to the contracts between Cobb Oil and the Company during our 2011 fiscal year.

Director Independence

The board is exempt from the independence listing standards because the Company's securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or listed in an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association or to issuers of such securities. All of our Directors, however, are independent, as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), with the following exceptions:

5



Michael Bohannan, who is not considered independent under the NASDAQ definition due to his status during our 2011 fiscal year as an executive officer of the Company.
Larry Rippey, who is not considered independent under the NASDAQ definition due to his current status as an executive officer of the Company.

In evaluating the independence of our directors, we considered the following factors: (i) the business relationships of our directors; (ii) positions our directors hold with other companies; (iii) family relationships between our directors and other individuals involved with the Company; (iv) transactions between our directors and the Company; and (v) compensation arrangements between our directors and the Company.
