EARTH BIOFUELS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Earth Biofuels, Inc. (“Earth” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Earth’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2005 as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.  The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Background — Earth Biofuels, Inc., (“Earth”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 15, 2002. On September 13, 2005, Earth issued 146,100,000 shares of common stock to Apollo Resources International, Inc., a Utah corporation, in exchange for 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Earth Biofuels, Inc., a Mississippi corporation. On October 7, 2005, Earth Biofuels, Inc. (the Mississippi company) changed its name to Earth Biofuels Operating, Inc. Effective November 14, 2005, the domicile of the Company was moved to Delaware by means of a merger of Earth with and into Earth Biofuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Earth Biofuels, Inc, Earth Biofuels Operating, Inc., (“EBO”) which is the main operating subsidiary and its wholly owned subsidiaries Durant Biofuels, LLC., and The  Wing Sail Company d/b/a Distribution Drive, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations - The principal business of Earth is the production, supply and distribution of pure biodiesel fuel (B100) for sale directly to wholesalers and to be used as a blend stock to make B20, a petroleum diesel-based alternative fuel. The company utilizes vegetable oils such as soy and canola oil as raw material (feedstock) for the production of biodiesel fuel.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — On April 27, 2006, our Board of Directors and a majority of our stockholders acted by unanimous written consent to approve and adopt our 2006 Stock Option and Award Plan. The plan is intended to aid in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of assisting in our future success, and rewarding those individuals who have contributed to our success. It is designed to aid in retaining the services of executives and employees and in attracting new personnel when needed for future operations and growth and to provide such personnel with an incentive to remain our employees, to use their best efforts to promote the success of our business, and to provide them with an opportunity to obtain or increase a proprietary interest in us through the granting of stock options and/or stock awards.  Eligible award recipients are employees and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and other individuals who are not employed by us as determined by the administrator of the plan.  The maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be issued under the plan may not exceed 5,000,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments.

During the quarter ending  September 30, 2006, the Company issued 2,082,867 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to employees for services rendered and 6,430,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for consulting services, of which 400,000 the Company issued to Herb Meyer, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, under his consulting agreement.  There have been no stock options granted as of September 30, 2006.

Accounting for Derivatives  — Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in our structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF Issue 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” (“EITF 00-19”) which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in Ener1’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required. In accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, we determined that several of the outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock and the embedded conversion feature and certain other features of several of our financial instruments should be separately accounted for as assets or liabilities. Our financial statements for the six and nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the fair value of these warrants and the conversion and other embedded derivatives features on our balance sheet and the unrealized changes in the values of these derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations as “Gain (loss) on derivative liability.”  As the notes which included derivatives were paid or converted during the quarter, there is no derivative liability at September 30, 2006.

Net Loss Per Share Data — Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with the SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of outstanding warrants until their exercise would be anti-dilutive.  Share and per-share data presented throughout the financial statements and notes reflect a 6-for-1 forward split that the Company declared in November, 2005.

Reclassifications — Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.              MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Earth’s investments consist primarily of available for sale securities totaling $698,000, and trading securities for approximately $192,000. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, securities are marked to market with gains and losses being reflected as unrealized for available for sale securities, and realized gains or losses for trading securities.

3.              PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized, whereas costs incurred to maintain the appearance and functionality of such assets are charged to repair and maintenance expense. Reviews are performed regularly to determine whether facts or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying values of our property and equipment are impaired. We assess the recoverability of our property and equipment by comparing the projected future undiscounted net cash flows associated with these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair market value of the assets.

On April 27, 2006, Earth acquired approximately eight acres of land in Durant, Oklahoma for $175,000 in anticipation of Earth’s plans to build an ethanol production facility.  The land is immediately adjacent to Earth’s existing biodiesel production facility such that the two facilities will be able to share the rail access at the site.  In addition, during the quarter ended  September 30, 2006, plant equipment acquisitions were made in the amount of $3,323,335, and $5,550,914 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

On May 4, 2006, we acquired approximately 4.5 acres of land in Greenville, Mississippi adjacent to the Mississippi River for approximately $275,000.  The property includes bulk storage tanks with a capacity of approximately one million gallons, barge loading/unloading facilities, and a fuel truck rack.  We plan to utilize the property for the construction of a biodiesel production plant.

4.              INVESTMENTS

Investments are comprised mainly of $41,281,996 in Earth’s funding of its ownership interests in investments that have not closed as of September 30, 2006.  Accordingly, these amounts are reported as non-current.  After these investments are closed, Earth will either consolidate the entities, recording minority interest, or record its interests on the equity method, as appropriate.  Because certain other investors will not contribute cash or other assets, or cash or assets in proportion to their ownership interest, Earth will recognize either losses on minority interest or loss on equity investments, as appropriate.

5.              CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On July 10, 2006, Earth entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued an 8% senior convertible note with a principal amount of $5.0 million to one institutional investor.  The Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the investor and five-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s placement agent, both at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. On July 24, 2006, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its July 24, 2006 offering to repay in full the remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this note.

On July 13, 2006, holders of convertible notes issued during January through June of 2006, exercised their conversion option and the Company issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million.

On July 24, 2006, Earth entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued $52.5 million aggregate senior convertible notes that are due in 2011 to eight institutional  investors.  The notes initially carry an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock at $2.90 per share.  In 2007, the coupon may decline to 6% upon the Company achieving certain financial milestones.  The notes will begin to amortize in equal, quarterly payments beginning in 2007.  In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 9,051,725 shares of common stock to the investors and five-year warrants to purchase 1,357,759 shares of common stock to the Company’s placement agent, at $2.90 per share.  At the date of issuance the warrants had a relative fair value of $18,808,359, and the company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $42,906,599 based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature.  Amortization on the debt discount totaled $678,245 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Earth used the net proceeds from this offering to repay in full the remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on our $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior convertible promissory notes issued in May, June, and July 2006, and expects to use the remaining proceeds from the offering for its program of building and acquiring interests in biodiesel and ethanol production facilities, and for other general corporate purposes.

 In connection with the 8% senior convertible notes issued in July, 2006, Earth incurred loan costs in the amount of $3,452,000 which will be amortized over the term of the convertible notes.

On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued $1.1 million aggregate senior convertible notes that are due in 2011 to two institutional  investors.  The notes initially carry an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock at $2.90 per share.  In 2007, the coupon may decline to 6% upon the Company achieving certain financial milestones.  The notes will begin to amortize in equal, quarterly payments beginning in  March, 2007.  In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 232,759 shares of common stock to the investors at $2.90 per share.

Earth will use the debt proceeds, in concert with other funds, for the acquisition of an ethanol production plant, two biodiesel production facilities and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital to support growth and capital expenditures associated with new project development.

During the second quarter of 2006, Earth received proceeds under various convertible notes with warrants totaling approximately $17.5 million.  The conversion features and exercise prices were at different variable market prices.  As such, the Company evaluated the application of  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), and EITF 00-19 for convertible debt issued in the first, second  and third quarters of fiscal 2006, as well as warrants issued in connection with the debt offerings.  Based on the guidance in SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company concluded that instruments were required to be accounted for as derivatives during the second quarter of fiscal 2006.  SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 required the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features of the convertible debt as embedded derivatives.  In addition, on May 26, 2006, the Company issued convertible debt that was convertible into an indeterminate number of shares.  As a result, the conversion features and warrants associated with the convertible debt were determined to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 for this debt in the second quarter also.  The Company determined that the conversion features and the warrants met the attributes of a liability and therefore recorded the fair value of the conversion features and the warrants as current liabilities in the second quarter.

10




The Company recorded the fair value of the conversion features and the warrants on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statement of operations as “Gain (loss) on embedded derivative liability” for the second quarter.  The May 26, 2006 debt was converted on July 14, 2006, and the remaining instruments were repaid with the proceeds from the July 24, 2006 issues.  Based on the companies analysis and application of  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), there were additional derivative liabilities necessary to be recorded for  the third quarter security issue totaling $5,000,000, however, the related debt was also repaid with the second quarter liabilities and as such all derivative liabilities were reversed as appropriate.  In addition, the remaining discounts were reversed to additional paid in capital for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. See Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion of registration rights and evaluation of the Company’s convertible debts.

Overview

Our principal business is the production, supply and distribution of pure biodiesel fuel (B100) for sale directly to wholesalers to be used as a blend stock, such as B20, a petroleum diesel-based alternative fuel.  We utilize vegetable oils such as soy and canola oil as raw material (feedstock) for the production of biodiesel fuel.  We are currently focused on our expansion strategy of acquiring and constructing biodiesel and ethanol production facilities.

Our primary source of revenue is the sale of biodiesel fuels and related energy production credits.  Our sales revenue is a function of the volume of biodiesel we sell and the price at which we sell the biodiesel.  The volume of our sales is largely dependent upon demand and our ability to distribute the product. The selling prices we realize for our biodiesel are largely determined by the market supply and demand for biodiesel, which in turn, is influenced by industry factors over which we have little, if any, control, such as the price of gasoline and other alternative energy sources.  We blend and market our biodiesel directly to fuel stations.  Our distribution strategy includes supplying B100 for storage and blending terminals, controlling the blending point, and obtaining exclusive agreements with terminal chains throughout the United States.  We have entered into agreements with oil companies with the capability to deliver to fleet, agricultural and retail fueling terminals, and retail service stations, to expand biodiesel consumption in their local areas.

Our gross profit is derived from our total revenues less our cost of sales.  Our cost of sales is affected by the cost of the biodiesel we purchase from producers.  We purchase biodiesel both on the spot market and pursuant to fixed supply agreements.  The price of our purchases of biodiesel on the open market are affected by supply and demand for biodiesel fuel and the cost of raw materials used by the producers from whom we purchase biodiesel, such as soy oil.  We have entered into a nine-month supply agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase 1,000,000 gallons per month.  Because we are required to purchase these quantities of biodiesel regardless of our demand for biodiesel or ability to distribute the product, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if there is a decrease in the demand for our biodiesel fuel.  This purchase contract was cancelled October 1, 2006. In July 2006, we commenced production of biodiesel fuel from one of our own production facilities in Durant, Oklahoma from which we expect annual production of approximately 20 MMGPY.  As we implement our facility construction and expansion strategy, we expect our cost of sales to be impacted by our cost of raw materials used in the production of biodiesel.

Third Quarter Highlights

The following are certain highlights that occurred during the second quarter:

·                  Our total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $10.3 million and related primarily to sales of biodiesel.

·                  We entered into letters of intent and are currently in discussions relating to our entry into four separate joint ventures to purchase, construct, expand and/or retrofit ethanol facilities in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, and in Martin County, North Carolina and biodiesel production facilities in Texas and Illinois.  Our obligations set forth in these letters of intent are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation.  We can make no assurances that the final terms of any of the transactions will conform to the terms of the letters of intent or that the parties will even enter into definitive documents. These negotiations are ongoing as of the end of the third quarter.

·                  During the third quarter of 2006, we received net proceeds of $53.6 million from the issuance of senior convertible notes.  We used the net proceeds from the sale, in concert with other funds, to continue to execute our business plan, specifically the construction or acquisition of additional biodiesel and ethanol facilities, and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Recent Developments

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes.  Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, observance of industry trends and various other sources of information and factors.  Estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and, accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates, sometimes materially.  Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.  The most critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.

Revenue Recognition  The geographic location of our customer base is primarily in the state of Mississippi and the Dallas, Texas market, although management intends to expand operations throughout the Southeastern and Southwestern United States.  Sales are recorded at net realizable value, net of allowances for returns, upon shipment of products to customers.  We record revenue from federal incentive programs related to the production of biodiesel when we have produced, sold, blended the biodiesel, and completed all the requirements of the applicable incentive program.

Business Combinations  Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method.  Under the purchase method, we report the acquired entities’ assets and liabilities at fair market value as of the date of purchase.  Any excess of the fair market value of the consideration given over the fair market value of the net assets acquired is reported as goodwill.  If the fair market value of the consideration given is less than the fair market value of the net assets acquired, the resulting excess of fair value of acquired net assets over the cost of the acquired entity is allocated, on a pro rata basis, against certain assets acquired in the business combination.  If any excess over cost remains after reducing certain assets to zero, the remaining excess is recognized as an extraordinary gain.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — On April 27, 2006, our Board of Directors and a majority of our stockholders acted by unanimous written consent to approve and adopt our 2006 Stock Option and Award Plan. The plan is intended to aid in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of assisting in our future success, and rewarding those individuals who have contributed to our success. It is designed to aid in retaining the services of executives and employees and in attracting new personnel when needed for future operations and growth and to provide such personnel with an incentive to remain our employees, to use their best efforts to promote the success of our business, and to provide them with an opportunity to obtain or increase a proprietary interest in us through the granting of stock options and/or stock awards.  Eligible award recipients are employees and directors of our Company and our subsidiaries and other individuals who are not employee by us as determined by the administrator of the plan.  The maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be issued under the plan may not exceed 5,000,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments.

During the quarter ending September 30, 2006, the Company issued 2,082,867 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to employees for services rendered and 6,430,00 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for consulting services, of which 400,000 the Company issued to Herb Meyer, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, under his consulting agreement. There have been no stock options granted as of September 30, 2006.

Accounting for Derivatives  — Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), as amended, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in our structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF Issue 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” (“EITF 00-19”) which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in Ener1’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required. In accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, we determined that several of the outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock and the embedded conversion feature and certain other features of several of our financial instruments should be separately accounted for as assets or liabilities. Our financial statements for the six and nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the fair value of these warrants and the conversion and other embedded derivatives features on our balance sheet and the unrealized changes in the values of these derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations as “Gain (loss) on derivative liability.”  As the notes which included derivatives were paid or converted during the quarter, there is no derivative liability at September 30, 2006.

Net Loss Per Share Data — Basic and diluted net loss per common share are presented in conformity with the SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of outstanding warrants until their exercise would be anti-dilutive.  Share and per-share data presented throughout the financial statements and notes reflect a 6-for-1 forward split that the Company declared in November, 2005.

Reclassifications — Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview.  Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operations and issuances of debt and equity securities.  In addition to funding operations, our principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs have been, and are expected to be, the debt service requirements of our senior convertible notes, the acquisition and construction of new facilities, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.  In addition, as our production operations ramp up, we anticipate significant purchases of soy oil, corn and other inputs necessary for biodiesel and ethanol production.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $462,000 for the same period in 2005.  The increase in net cash flow used in operating activities relates to increasing operating costs as we ramp-up our operations, including higher cost of good sold, other selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

Net cash used in investing activities was $32.8 million the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net cash used in investing activities of  approximately $109,000 for the same period in 2005.  The increase in net cash used in investing activities relates to purchases of fixed assets in the amount of approximately $5.6 million for our Durant, Oklahoma facility and advances of approximately $25.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related to letters of intent we have entered into to own and operate biodiesel and ethanol facilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $51.4 million the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $721,000 for the same period in 2005.  Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 relate primarily to the issuance of senior convertible debts totaling of with net proceeds of $74.9 million, less the repayment of prior debts of $21.1 million,  and offset by debt issuance costs of $3.4 million.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2005 were insufficient to provide the capital we needed to operate and expand.  During May and June of 2006 we issued $17.5 million in bridge notes.  These notes were repaid pursuant to a private placement totaling $52.5 million in July 2006.  The proceeds of the convertible promissory notes enabled us to continue operating during the first nine months of 2006.

Current and Future Financing Needs

The success of our operations and business growth and expansion strategy depends upon our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations.  We expect to continue to devote capital resources to fund our business plan.  In order to support the initiatives envisioned in our business plan, we intend to raise additional funds through the sale of equity, debt or a combination of the two.  Our operating performance and ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the prevailing economic conditions, state of the capital markets, the market price of our common stock and other risks and uncertainties including the prices of various commodities, particularly the prices of ethanol, soybean, corn, natural gas and unleaded gasoline, our dependence on key suppliers and adverse changes in governmental incentives and governmental regulation.  We might not have access to the funding required for the expansion of our business or such funding might not be available to us on acceptable terms.  We might finance the expansion of our business with additional indebtedness or by issuing additional equity securities.  The amount of any additional indebtedness could be substantial.  We could face financial risks associated with incurring additional indebtedness, such as reducing our liquidity and access to financial markets and increasing the amount of cash flow required to service our debt, or associated with issuing additional stock, such as dilution of ownership and earnings.  An increase in our debt would decrease the amount of funds available for our growth strategy, thereby making it more challenging to implement our strategy in a timely manner, or at all.  If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet our debt obligations and commitments, we may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures, obtain additional equity capital or debt financing.  In the event that we are unable to do so, we may be left without sufficient liquidity and we may not be able to continue operations.

20




We incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $16 million and $18.6 million, respectively, as of the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  We had $41,609 of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006.  Our working capital at September 30, 2006 was $14,840,278.

We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy.  Based on our current plans, we believe that after consideration of the net proceeds of the $52.5 million offering and future private sales of our shares, we have sufficient funds to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for at least the twelve month period subsequent to the balance sheet date, September 30, 2006. In addition, we are currently working to secure a $12.5 million Senior Secured Bridge Term Loan, in November, 2006.

The company is acquiring a liquid natural gas (“LNG”) production company.  This company is the largest producer and wholesaler of vehicle-quality liquid natural gas in the United States and is one of only five production facilities in the country that produces clean liquid natural gas. This company offers turnkey fuel solutions, and leases storage, fuel dispensing equipment and fuel loading facilities.  The LNG markets include transportation alternative fuel for transit systems, seaports, local delivery fleets and locomotive switch engines. This gas also has industrial and agricultural applications.  The company currently produces 86,000 gallons per day. Earth expects subsequent to acquisition revenues will increase approximately $25 million per year related to LNG sales.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2006, we had no obligations that would qualify to be disclosed as off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) was carried out by us under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose be in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Specifically, our independent auditors identified deficiencies in our controls related to the identification and evaluation of potential derivative liabilities, valuation and recording of share-based compensation, and valuation and recording of beneficial conversion features associated with convertible debt.  We are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures to fully remedy these deficiencies and during the three months ended September 30, 2006 have added additional accounting staff. Our management and directors will continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report of Form 10-QSB. The disclosures set forth in this Item 3 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting, referred to in the certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 3 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (except as noted in this Item 3) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. (“HCW”) commenced an arbitration against us on July 20, 2006, asserting a claim for breach of contract relating to a March 7, 2006 letter allegedly appointing H.C. Wainwright our placement agent for a limited time for the sale of our securities.  H.C. Wainwright is seeking an award of unpaid commissions, warrants for the purchase our common stock, and attorneys’ fees and costs.  The Company filed an answering statement on August 25, 2006, and denied that it was liable to HCW for breach of contract.  Among other things, the Company assets that any agreement was terminated prior to any alleged breach, HCW failed to perform as promised, and HCW made material misrepresentations of fact to induce the Company in to the alleged agreement. The arbitration proceeding is at an early stage and no discovery has been taken or dates established.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.

22




During the quarter ending September 30, 2006, we issued 2,082,867 shares of our common stock to employees for services rendered and 2,430,000 shares of our common stock to for consulting services, of which 4,600,000 were issued to Herb Meyer, a member of our Board of Directors, under his consulting agreement.  These shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

During the quarter ending June 30, 2006, we issued convertible notes and warrants to institutional investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. as follows:

·                  On May 4, 2006, we issued a $1.0 million convertible, secured promissory note, bearing interest at 7%, payable within thirty days upon demand by the holder, and convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.086 per share.  We also issued the investor a warrant to purchase 920,810 shares of our common stock, exercisable until May 31, 2001 at the lesser of $2.00 per share or 80% of the average trading price of our common stock for the thirty trading days prior to the exercise of the warrant.  We used the net proceeds from the sale in connection with our biodiesel and ethanol plant acquisition strategy and for other general corporate purposes.  We granted the noteholder certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the convertible note and the warrant.  The note and warrant and a corresponding guarantee given by Apollo Resources, our majority stockholder, were subsequently cancelled by the holder in connection with Apollo Resources’ closing on July 21, 2006 of a securities purchase agreement with Greenwich Power.

·                  On May 26, 2006, we issued $5.0 million principal amount of 8% senior convertible promissory notes to a single institutional investor.  The notes carried an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and were redeemable by us at par at any time prior to their initial maturity date in August 2006.  The notes were not convertible until after August 2006, at which time the maturity date was extendable to November 2006 at the holder’s option.  The notes were convertible into our common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of $1.00 per share or 75% of the weighted average price per share of our common stock on a five-day volume weighted average prior to closing.  We also issued five-year warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock to the investor and five-year warrants to purchase 18,750 shares of common stock to our placement agent, both at an exercise price of $3.84 per share.  We used the net proceeds from the sale in connection with our biodiesel and ethanol plant acquisition strategy and for other general corporate purposes.  We granted the investor certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and exercise of the warrants.  The remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on these notes were repaid in full with a portion of the net proceeds from the senior convertible promissory notes we issued in July 2006.  The warrants remain outstanding.

·                  On June 2, 2006, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $500,000 to one individual.  The note bore interest at 8% per year, which was payable on July 28, 2006, August 28, 2006, January 28, 2007 and April 28, 2007.  The note had a maturity date of April 28, 2007.  The note was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.50 per share or 70% of the weighted average price per share of our common stock. We used the net proceeds from the sale in connection with our biodiesel and ethanol plant acquisition strategy and for other general corporate purposes.  We granted the note holder certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes.  On July 13, 2006, the holder of the note exercised its option to convert the notes, and we issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to such holder in exchange for the cancellation of the note.

·                  On June 7, 2006, we issued $10 million aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes to four institutional investors.  The notes carried an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and were redeemable by us at par at any time prior to their initial maturity date in September 2006.  The notes were not convertible until after September 2006, at which time the maturity date was extendable to December 2006 at the holder’s option.  The notes were convertible into our common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of $1.00 per share or 70% of the weighted average price per share of our common stock on a five-day volume weighted average prior to closing.  We also issued to the investors five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the investors and five-year warrants to purchase 45,000 shares of common stock to our placement agent, at an exercise price of $2.93 per share.  We used the net proceeds from the sale, in concert with other funds, to continue to execute our business plan, specifically the construction or acquisition of additional biodiesel and ethanol facilities, and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital.  We granted the investor certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and warrants.  The remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on these notes were repaid in full with a portion of the net proceeds from the senior convertible promissory notes we issued in July 2006.  The warrants remain outstanding.

·                  On July 10, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a 8% senior convertible note with a principal amount of $5.0 million to one institutional investor.  The Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the investor and five-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s placement agent, both at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  On July 24, 2006, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its July 24, 2006 offering to repay in full the remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this note.

·                  On July 13, 2006, holders of convertible notes issued during January through June of 2006, exercised their conversion option and the Company issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million.

·                  On July 24, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued $52.5 million aggregate senior convertible notes that are due in 2011 to eight institutional  investors.  The notes initially carry an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock at $2.90 per share.  In 2007, the coupon may decline to 6% upon the Company achieving certain financial milestones.  The notes will begin to amortize in equal, quarterly payments beginning in 2007.  In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 9,051,725 shares of common stock to the investors and five-year warrants to purchase 1,357,759 shares of common stock to the Company’s placement agent, at $2.90 per share.  The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to repay in full the remaining unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on our $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior convertible promissory notes issued in May, June and July 2006, and expects to use the remaining proceeds from the offering for its program of building and acquiring interests in biodiesel and ethanol production facilities, and for other general corporate purposes.

·                  In connection with the 8% senior convertible notes issued in July, 2006, Earth incurred loan costs in the amount of $3,452,000 which will be amortized over the term of the convertible notes.

·                  On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued $1.1 million aggregate senior convertible notes that are due in 2011 to two institutional  investors.  The notes initially carry an 8% coupon, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock at $2.90 per share.  In 2007, the coupon may decline to 6% upon the Company achieving certain financial milestones.  The notes will begin to amortize in equal, quarterly payments beginning in  March, 2007.  In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 232,759 shares of common stock to the investors at $2.90 per share.

Appointment of New Director

Effective June 12, 2006, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Herbert E. Meyer as a member of our board of directors.  On June 9, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Meyer, pursuant to which he agreed to provide consulting services relating to energy policies, strategic planning, and such other matters as we may request.  In exchange for such services, we issued Mr. Meyer, 600,000 shares of our common stock.  The agreement has a two-year term but is terminable by us upon thirty days written notice.

Approval of 2006 Stock Option and Award Plan

On April 27, 2006, our Board of Directors and a majority of our stockholders acted by unanimous written consent to approve and adopt our 2006 Stock Option and Award Plan. The plan is intended to aid in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of assisting in our future success, and rewarding those individuals who have contributed to our success. It is designed to aid in retaining the services of executives and employees and in attracting new personnel when needed for future operations and growth and to provide such personnel with an incentive to remain our employees, to use their best efforts to promote the success of our business, and to provide them with an opportunity to obtain or increase a proprietary interest in us through the granting of stock options and/or stock awards.  Eligible award recipients are employees and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and other individuals who are not employee by us as determined by the administrator of the plan.  The maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be issued under the plan may not exceed 5,000,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments.
