Positive Cash Flow

We have already made significant progress this year on each of these fronts:

New Agreements We entered into several new agreements during the first quarter, including an agreement to design and build the first commercial system based on our patent-pending Method II (whole stillage) corn oil extraction process.

Debt Reduction We reduced our debt to YA Global by about an additional $7 million, down to a principal balance of about $26 million as of March 31, 2011.

Cash Flow We eliminated our cash burn as of the end of 2010 and returned to positive cash flow during the first quarter of 2011.

Operating Income With only some of our licensed plants producing corn oil during the quarter, we generated about $5.8 million in operating income, or about $882,000 in operating income net of the non-recurring impact of the YA Corn Oil Transaction and sale of our previously-owned extraction systems.

GERS still cannot service and eliminate debt out of cash flow - although they hope to reach that this year.  The operation itself is creating a positive cash flow - an important turning point.
