Certain forward-looking statements herein are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the important risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, among other things:
-
Events that deprive us of the services of our president, Dean E. Sukowatey;
-
Whether we are able to obtain adequate capital with which to purchase and/or construct one or more ethanol production facilities; and
-
Other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
2007 Developments
In January 2007, there occurred a change in control with respect to our company and new management was installed. Our new management has determined that we will pursue a plan of business whereby we would become a producer of ethanol and its co-products. To that end, in April 2007, we consummated a plan and agreement of reorganization with ALL Energy Company, a development-stage ethanol company, whereby ALL Energy Company became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Our management and that of ALL Energy Company was and is the same.
Our Company Now
Currently, we are actively pursuing the acquisition of one or more operating ethanol production facilities. Also, we have recently formed a new subsidiary that is to pursue the development and commercial exploitation of one or more enzymes intended to boost ethanol production rates. Further, we own approximately 150 acres of real property in Manchester, Iowa, on which we intend to construct a 100 million gallon (per year) ethanol production facility.
Overview
Our subsidiary, ALL Energy Company, was incorporated in August 2006, with the intention of operating as an ethanol producer, focusing primarily on the production and sale of ethanol and its co-products. We have adopted ALL Energy Company’s ethanol-related business plan. In the current climate of historically-high oil prices, we believe this focus will enable us to build a successful ethanol production and distribution business.
During the past 18 months, we have obtained approximately $2.3 million through two private offerings. These funds have allowed us to achieve important business objectives related to the pursuit of an acquisition of an operating ethanol production facility, the development of an enzyme technology and the construction of our first proposed ethanol production facility.
Business Objective
It is our goal to become a significant producer of ethanol and its co-products in the United States, that is, to become a producer of at least 500 million gallons of ethanol annually.
Current Status of Business Activities
Ethanol Production Facility Acquisition. Throughout 2007 and continuing to the present, we have sought to acquire one or more existing ethanol production facilities. We have executed letters of intent to make such an acquisition, but have been unable to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement. Our management is currently negotiating the purchase of two separate ethanol production facilities. There is, however, no assurance that we will be able to purchase an existing ethanol production facility. Further, it is currently anticipated that the capital required to complete any such purchase will be obtained in the form of debt financing or a combination of debt financing and equity. We have not obtained a specific financing commitment and there is no assurance that we will ever obtain the financing needed to complete any proposed acquisition.
Enzyme Development. We recently announced the formation of an alliance with a cellulosic biotech company embodied in the formation of a new subsidiary, AFSE Enzyme, LLC. This venture intends to pursue the development and commercialization of an ethanol “super” enzyme, producing cellulosic ethanol with a theoretical savings of up to 50% reduction in ethanol production costs. Ethanol produced by such a super enzyme would be manufactured from sustainable non-food biomass and surplus waste products, such as wood chips, household garbage and sugarcane waste, which are abundantly available domestically and internationally. One of the key benefits would be the elimination of the cost of the more traditional component ethanol feed-stock, corn. There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing and commercializing any enzyme products.
Proposed Manchester, Iowa, Ethanol Production Facility.
Purchase of Land. We own approximately 150 acres of real property located near Manchester, Iowa. It is our intention to construct a 100 million gallon (per year) ethanol production facility on this land. We refer to this proposed ethanol production facility as “the Manchester facility”. This property has the following characteristics:
Property Location:
Manchester, Iowa, midway between Waterloo and Dubuque, Iowa.
Property Size:
Approximately 150 acres.
Purchase Price:
$945,000.
Ingress/Egress:
Easy access to Iowa State Highway 20.
Market Availability:
Highway access for trucking ethanol and DDGS; situated in Northeast Iowa with close proximity to feed markets for Wet Distillers Grain with Soluables (WDGS).
Power Supply:
Electricity supply is ample for the proposed production facility and there are two nearby natural gas pipelines.
Water Supply:
Well water is available, with back-up water supply available from the City of Manchester.
Sewer:
Available, if needed, from the City of Manchester.
Corn Availability:
Our commissioned corn feasibility study indicates that there are ample corn supplies in close proximity to the Manchester facility, as proposed.
Economic Incentives:
We have received in excess of $17 million in infrastructure improvements, tax credits and property tax abatements from the City of Manchester, Iowa, and the State of Iowa in support of the Manchester facility. The City has agreed to provide us with sewer service to the Manchester facility site, roadway improvements in and around the Manchester facility site and a 10-year property tax abatement, a total incentive package in excess of $6.6 million. In addition, the Iowa Department of Economic Development has awarded us a sales and use tax credit in an amount in excess of $10.4 million for High Quality Job Creation.
Local Government:
The City of Manchester has indicated its informal approval of proposed entrances and exits for the Manchester site. The Manchester city council has met on several occasions since the middle of 2006 regarding the Manchester facility, as proposed, and indicated that it is amenable to the needs of that proposed facility.
We require approximately $200,000,000 in financing, either debt, equity or a combination thereof, to construct the Manchester facility. Due to current market conditions, both in the ethanol industry and the overall U.S. economy, we cannot assure you that we will be able to construct the Manchester facility, as proposed, as we have not obtained any commitment for any such funding. However, should we obtain needed financing, the Manchester facility is expected to have the following characteristics:
Annual Ethanol Production Capacity:
Design capacity of 100 million gallons per year, with an anticipated annual ethanol production rate of 124 million gallons.
Ownership:
100%.
Production Process:
Dry-Milling.
Primary Energy Source:
Natural Gas.
Estimated DDGS Production per Year:
381,000 tons.
Estimated Corn Processed per Year:
42.4 million bushels.
Our progress towards constructing the Manchester facility has slowed significantly, since the middle of 2007, due to our management’s determining that the current market conditions are not favorable for undertaking the construction of a new ethanol production facility, that is, our management has determined that the ethanol industry is temporarily over-built. We do not have a specific time-frame for completing the construction of the Manchester facility. In this regard, we will be guided by future market conditions, none of which can be predicted. The Manchester facility is to be the first ethanol production facility that is part of our five-plant project development agreement with Delta-T Corporation. Under the development agreement, Delta-T is to provide design engineering services. Our management has begun the process of selecting the construction firm that will be hired by us to build the Manchester facility. As of the date hereof, we have not entered into any contract with any such construction firm. However, with the respect to the Manchester facility, we have entered into working relationships with two construction firms, one based in Minnesota, the other in Wisconsin, as we continue the process of completing the design of the Manchester facility.
Annexation of Land. In March 2007, the City of Manchester, Iowa, annexed the 150 acres on which we propose to build the Manchester facility, a 100 million gallon per year ethanol production facility.
Economic Incentives. We have received in excess of $17 million in infrastructure improvements, tax credits and property tax abatements from the City of Manchester, Iowa, and the State of Iowa in support of the Manchester facility. The City has agreed to provide us with sewer service to the Manchester facility site, roadway improvements in and around the Manchester facility site and a 10-year property tax abatement, a total incentive package in excess of $6.6 million. In addition, the Iowa Department of Economic Development has awarded us a sales and use tax credit in an amount in excess of $10.4 million for High Quality Job Creation.
Air Quality Construction Permit. In May 2007, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued the final Air Quality Construction Permit relating to the Manchester facility. We have engaged Yaggy-Colby to consult on air-related environmental matters relating to the Manchester facility.
Ground Water Quality Permit Application. We have engaged Natural Resources Group (NRG) to consult on water-related environmental matters relating to the Manchester facility. With NRG, we have made significant progress towards compliance with applicable water-related regulations, having filed our initial water-quality-related permit application.
Project Feasibility Study. We commissioned BBI to perform a project feasibility study relating to the Manchester facility, which included an analysis of the availability of corn and energy, as well as the surrounding transportation infrastructure. BBI’s report indicates that there are ample corn supplies in close proximity to the Manchester facility to satisfy our feedstock needs, that there are adequate supplies of energy available at reasonable cost with which to operate the Manchester facility and that the surrounding transportation infrastructure is capable of handling the anticipated truck and rail traffic associated with the Manchester facility. We obtained this feasibility study, inasmuch as funding sources familiar to our management require such a study as a condition to financing.
Delta-T Corporation. We have engaged Delta-T Corporation to provide project engineering services with respect to the Manchester facility. We have made significant progress towards completing the necessary preliminary engineering work relating to the Manchester facility. However, as noted above, our progress in this regard has slowed.
Our Competitive Advantages and Disadvantages
Competitive Advantages. Our management believes we will have certain competitive advantages over our competition, including the following:
-
Plant Design Efficiencies. Our future ethanol production facilities will embody the latest technologies to promote cost savings.
-
Operating Cost Efficiency: Our management is committed to implementing cost-efficient methodologies for all aspects of our business. By maintaining low operating costs through the use of available technology, our management believes that we will realize significant cost savings compared to our competitors.
Competitive Disadvantages. While our management believes we possess competitive advantages, there are certain competitive disadvantages that we must overcome, including the following:
-
Small Capital Base: We do not possess sufficient capital to construct the proposed Manchester facility or to purchase an existing ethanol production facility. Without significant additional capital, it is likely that we would be unable to accomplish either objective.
-
Limited In-House Management Resources: Although our management team, in all, is highly experienced and qualified, our president does not possess experience in the ethanol industry. In addition, we will be required to attract persons with expertise sufficient for us to be successful in our proposed operations. Currently, we do not possess adequate capital to attract such persons, and we may never possess adequate capital resources to attract such persons. Our inability to do so would likely cause our business prospects to suffer.
Proposed Business and Implementation Strategy
In General. To achieve our goal of becoming a significant producer of ethanol in the U.S., that is, a producer of 500 million gallons per year of ethanol, we have developed a strategy that we intend to pursue. Our strategy, which is dependent on our ability to obtain significant additional capital, has the following important elements:
-
Low-cost production capacity. It is our intention to capitalize on the demand in the U.S. for ethanol by establishing increasing production capacity as quickly as possible over the next several years. In pursuing our expansion strategy, we will seek to acquire and/or build large-scale facilities with design elements that incorporate technology improvements and continue to acquire and/or build facilities in locations with access to multiple rail services. We believe that using similar facility designs will permit us to lower our costs relating to spare parts and to take advantage of our operations experience to be gained at other future facilities.
-
Focus on Cost Efficiency. Our corporate challenge will always be to seek greater economies of scale in our operations and to maximize energy efficiency and increase yield. Included in this challenge will be to purchase corn during peak supply periods to reduce our corn costs and to reduce our per-unit energy and transportation costs where possible.
-
Implement Risk Mitigation Strategies. Once we acquire an ethanol production facility, our management will begin its efforts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by purchasing a portion of our corn requirements on a fixed price basis and purchasing corn and natural gas futures contracts. In addition, it is expect that, to mitigate our ethanol price risk, we will sell a portion of our future production under fixed price and indexed contracts. Should we be successful in managing our exposure to commodity price fluctuations, we expect that our operating results will be less volatile. There is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
-
Seek Beneficial Alternative Technologies. Our management intends to investigate the feasibility of implementing, at some time in the future, new technologies that would serve to augment or replace natural gas usage. It is expected that these technologies would allow us to reduce our energy costs. Capital costs and engineering issues must be adequately addressed prior to any implementation of any such technology.
-
Seek to Expand Market Demand for Ethanol. As our rate of growth and our access to capital permit, our management intends to take actions it believes will create additional demand for ethanol, including, investing in new technologies that use ethanol and employing institutional advertising that focuses on, and promotes the use of, ethanol.
-
Pursue Potential Acquisition Opportunities. Assuming that we have capital available, we believe that there exist opportunities for expansion of our business through acquisitions will be available. Such an acquisition could involve ethanol production, storage or distribution facilities and related infrastructure, as well as potential facility sites under development.
In Particular. It is likely that any ethanol production facility owned by us will use corn feedstock. The distiller’s grains byproducts, which are the remnants of the corn after the ethanol-producing starch is removed, will be sold to dairies, cattle lots and hog operations as a valuable protein feed supplement.
We intend to have our plants embody the latest available technology that fractionates the corn into more value-added products that allow the value of the Dried Distillers Grain with Solubles (DDGS) to increase significantly over the current value. Also, where possible, we intend to integrate new technologies that allow for improved natural gas consumption into our plant facilities. If beneficial, we intend to implement biomass boilers and/or anaerobic digestion to promote increased operating efficiency at a particular plant. Also, we intend that each production facility be designed or re-engineered to accommodate new ethanol feed stocks, as the economics change among the various feedstock commodities.
Industry Overview
Ethanol is marketed across the U.S. as a gasoline blend component that serves as a clean air additive, an octane enhancer and a renewable fuel resource. It is blended with gasoline (i) as an oxygenate to help meet fuel emission standards, (ii) to improve gasoline performance by increasing octane levels and (iii) to extend fuel supplies. Also, a small amount of ethanol is used as E85, a renewable fuels-driven blend comprised of up to 85% ethanol. We expect that the use of ethanol as E85 will continue to grow.
Historically, the principal factors affecting the price of ethanol are:
-
The price of gasoline. The price of ethanol over the long term has moved in relation to the price of gasoline, which closely follows the price of oil.
-
Federal ethanol tax incentives. The Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (“VEETC”) enables refiners and blenders to pay a premium for ethanol relative to the price of gasoline. For most of 2007, ethanol traded at a price that was at or below the cost of wholesale gasoline.
-
Supply and Demand Fundamentals of Ethanol. The ethanol industry has experienced rapid growth in supply capacity and demand, in recent years. During periods when supply has exceeded demand, the price of ethanol has tended to drop below the cost of wholesale gasoline plus the value of the VEETC. During periods when demand has exceeded supply, the price of ethanol tended to be at or above the cost of wholesale gasoline plus the value of the VEETC.
According to recent industry reports, approximately 99% of domestic ethanol is produced from corn fermentation, as of December 31, 2007, and, as such, is primarily produced in the Midwestern corn-growing states. The principal factor affecting the cost to produce ethanol is the price of corn.
The U.S. fuel ethanol industry has experienced rapid growth, increasing from 1.3 billion gallons of production in 1997 to approximately 6.5 billion gallons produced in 2007, with an annual production capacity of 7.5 billion gallons at the end of 2007. Ethanol blends accounted for nearly 5% of the U.S. gasoline supply in 2007. Increases in ethanol demand have been driven by recent trends as more fully described below:
-
Mandated usage of renewable fuels. The growth in ethanol usage has been supported by regulatory requirements dictating the use of renewable fuels, including ethanol. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 signed into law on December 19, 2007, increased the mandated minimum use of renewable fuels to 9 billion gallons in 2008 (up from a 5.4 billion gallon requirement, which was the previous mandated 2008 requirement under the Energy Policy Act of 2005). The mandated usage of renewable fuels increases to 36 billion gallons in 2022. The upper mandate for corn based ethanol is 15 billion gallons by 2015.
-
Emission reduction. Ethanol is an oxygenate which, when blended with gasoline, reduces vehicle emissions. Ethanol's high oxygen content burns more completely, emitting fewer pollutants into the air. Ethanol demand increased substantially beginning in 1990 when federal law began requiring the use of oxygenates (such as ethanol or methyl tertiary butyl ether ("MTBE")) in RFG in cities with unhealthy levels of air pollution on a seasonal or year round basis. Although the federal oxygenate requirement was eliminated in May 2006 as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, oxygenated gasoline continues to be used in order to help meet separate federal and state air emission standards. The refining industry has all but abandoned the use of MTBE, a competing product to ethanol, making ethanol the primary clean oxygenate currently used.
-
Octane enhancer. Ethanol, with an octane rating of 113, is used to increase the octane value of gasoline with which it is blended, thereby improving engine performance. It is used as an octane enhancer both for producing regular grade gasoline from lower octane blending stocks (including both reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygenate blending ("RBOB") and conventional gasoline blendstock for oxygenate blending ("CBOB")), and for upgrading regular gasoline to premium grades.
-
Fuel stock extender. According to the Energy Information Administration, while domestic petroleum refinery output has increased by approximately 28% from 1980 to 2006, domestic gasoline consumption has increased 40% over the same period. By blending ethanol with gasoline, refiners are able to expand the volume of the gasoline they are able to sell.
-
Growth in E85 usage. E85 is a blended motor fuel containing 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. The sale of E85 fuel has historically been less than 1% of the ethanol market (and less than 0.25% of the ethanol we produce). Its growth has been limited by both the availability of E85 fuel to consumers (as of December 31, 2007, only 1,441 gasoline stations across the U.S. sold E85), and by the number of automobiles capable of using the fuel (approximately 6 million at December 31, 2007). However, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 increased the incentives available to stations which install E85 capable equipment, while automobile manufacturers have significantly increased the number and models of cars able to use E85. These two factors point to a potential growth in the consumption of E85 in future years.
Demand for Ethanol
Our management believes that the ethanol market will grow as a result of existing favorable economic circumstances; the replacement of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE); a shortage of domestic petroleum refining capacity; geopolitical concerns; recent federal legislation, including federally mandated renewable fuel usage. Our management also believes that E85 will, over time, become increasingly important as an alternative to unleaded gasoline.
Supply of Ethanol
Production in the ethanol industry remains fragmented. According to the RFA, while domestic ethanol production increased from 1.3 billion gallons in 1997 to a current production capacity of approximately 5.4 billion gallons, the top five producers accounted for approximately 35% of the industry’s total estimated production capacity, as of the last quarter of 2006. The remaining production is generated by a large number of smaller producers and farmer-owned cooperatives, most with production of 50 million gallons per year (MMGY) or less. Currently, there is an excess in the U.S. ethanol production capacity.
Currently, most U.S. ethanol is produced from corn grown in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, where corn is abundant. In addition to corn, the production process employs natural gas or, in some cases, coal to power the production facilities. Proximity to sufficient low-cost corn (or other feedstock) and natural gas supply are important competitive factors for ethanol producers.
Ethanol is typically either produced by a dry-milling or wet-milling process. Although the two processes feature numerous technical differences, the primary operating trade-off of the wet-milling process is a higher co-product yield in exchange for a lower ethanol yield. Dry-milling ethanol production facilities constitute the substantial majority of new ethanol production facilities being constructed in the past five years because of the increased efficiencies and lower capital costs of dry-milling technology. Dry-mill ethanol facilities typically produce between five and 50 MMGY, with newer dry-mill facilities producing over 100 MMGY. The largest ethanol production facilities are wet-mill facilities that have capacities of 200 to 300 MMGY. Approximately 80% of the ethanol production capacity is generated from dry-mill facilities, with approximately 20% from wet-mill facilities. It is our intention to construct and operate, or purchase, dry-mill facilities.
The east coast and west coast markets in the U.S. consume in excess of 50% of produced ethanol, in large measure due to stricter air quality requirements in large parts of those markets. The primary means of transporting ethanol from the Midwest to the coastal markets is by rail transportation. The movement of ethanol via pipeline is limited as a result of the tendency of ethanol to absorb water and other impurities found in the pipelines, logistical limitations of existing pipelines and limited volumes of ethanol that need to be transported. Barges and trucks are also used in the transportation of ethanol.
Ethanol Production Process
In the dry-mill process of converting corn into ethanol, each bushel of corn yields approximately 2.8 gallons of ethanol and approximately 18 pounds of distillers grains.
Ethanol Co-Products.
Dried Distillers Grain with Solubles (DDGS). A co-product of dry-mill ethanol production, DDGS is a high-protein and high-energy animal feed that is sold primarily as an ingredient in beef and dairy cattle feed. DDGS consists of the concentrated nutrients remaining after the starch in corn is converted to ethanol.
Wet Distillers Grains with Solubles (WDGS). WDGS is similar to DDGS, except that the final drying stage applied to DDGS is bypassed and the product is sold as a wet feed. WDGS is an excellent livestock feed with better nutritional characteristics than DDGS. However, higher costs of storage and transportation are associated with WDGS.
Corn Oil. Corn oil can be produced as a co-product of ethanol production by installing equipment to separate the oil from the distillers grains during the production process. Corn oil can be sold as an animal feed and commands higher prices than DDGS. It can also be used to produce biodiesel, a clean burning alternative fuel that can be used in diesel engines with petroleum diesel to lower emissions and improve lubricity.
Raw Material Supply and Pricing; Risk Management
Our management will seek to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by purchasing a portion of our corn requirements on a fixed price basis and by purchasing corn and natural gas futures contracts. To mitigate ethanol price risk, our management intends to sell a portion of our future production under fixed price and indexed contracts. It can be expected that our indexed contracts will be referenced to a futures contract, such as unleaded gasoline on the NYMEX, and that we may hedge a portion of the price risk associated with index contracts by selling exchange-traded unleaded gasoline contracts. Our management believes this strategy will reduce somewhat the volatility of our operating results. However, no assurances can be made in this regard.
Marketing
During the early years of our operations, we intend to have agreements with one or more companies for the marketing, including billing, receipt of payment and other administrative services, for all of the ethanol that we produce. In addition, we will have marketing agreements for the DDGS and carbon dioxide generated by a facility.
Should we ever determine to market and sell our own ethanol, we will be required to establish our own marketing, distribution, transportation and storage infrastructure. Involved in this undertaking would be obtaining sufficient numbers of railcars and storage depots near our customers and at other strategic locations to ensure efficient delivery of our finished ethanol product. Also, we would be required to hire or retain an outside marketing and sales force and logistical and other operational personnel to staff adequately our distribution activities.
With respect to our distillers grains, we expect that they will be sold locally for use as animal feed, during the first years of our operations.
Competition
The market in which we will be selling our ethanol is highly competitive. According to the RFA, world ethanol production rose to 12 billion gallons in 2005. Non-U.S. ethanol accounted for 65% of world production. The U.S. and Brazil are the world’s largest producers of ethanol. Currently, industry capacity in the U.S. approximated 4.5 BGY, with an additional 2.2 BGY of capacity under construction. The ethanol industry in the U.S. consists of more than 90 production facilities and is primarily corn based, while the Brazilian ethanol production is primarily sugar cane based. During 2006, the top ten producers accounted for approximately 45% of the ethanol production capacity in the U.S., according to the RFA.
The largest U.S. competitors are Archer Daniels Midland Company, VeraSun Energy Corporation, Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. and Cargill, Inc. The industry is otherwise highly fragmented, with many small, independent firms and farmer-owned cooperatives constituting the rest of the market. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in this highly competitive and fragmented market.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully in the ethanol production industry depends on many factors, including the following principal competitive factors: (a) price, (b) reliability of our production processes and delivery schedule and (c) volume of ethanol produced and sold.
With respect to distillers grains (DDGS and WDGS), we will compete primarily with other ethanol producers, as well as a number of large and small suppliers of competing animal feed. We believe the principal competitive factors are price, proximity to purchasers and product quality. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in this market.
Legislation
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. On December 19, 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was enacted into law. This law significantly increases the mandated usage of renewable fuels (ethanol, bio-diesel or any other liquid fuel produced from biomass or biogas). The law increases the renewable fuels standard established originally under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to 36 billion gallons by 2022, of which the mandate for corn-based ethanol is limited to 15 billion gallons by 2015.
The Federal Ethanol Tax Incentive Program. First passed in 1979, the VEETC program allows gasoline distributors who blend ethanol with gasoline to receive a federal excise tax credit for each gallon of ethanol they blend. The federal Transportation Efficiency Act of the 21st Century, or TEA-21, extended the ethanol tax credit first passed in 1979 through 2007. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 extended the subsidy again to 2010 by allowing distributors to take a $0.51 excise tax credit for each gallon of ethanol they blend. We cannot give assurance that the tax incentives will be renewed in 2010 or, if renewed, on what terms they will be renewed.
Federal Tariff on Imported Ethanol. In 1980, Congress imposed a tariff on foreign-produced ethanol to make it more expensive than domestic supplies derived from corn. This tariff was designed to protect the benefits of the federal tax subsidies for U.S. farmers. The tariff was originally $0.60 per gallon, in addition to a 3.0% ad valorem duty. The tariff was subsequently lowered to $0.54 per gallon and was not adjusted completely in sync with the change in the blending credit. On December 20, 2006, the $0.54 per gallon tariff on foreign-produced ethanol was extended until January 1, 2009.
Ethanol imports from 24 countries in Central America and the Caribbean Islands are exempt from this tariff under the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), in order to encourage economic development in that region. Under the terms of the CBI, member nations may export ethanol into the U.S. up to a total limit of 7% of U.S. production per year (with additional exemptions from ethanol produced from feedstock in the Caribbean region over the 7% limit). In 2006, there were also significant imports of ethanol from non-CBI countries. Although these imports were subject to the tariff, significant increases in the price of ethanol in 2006 made the importation of ethanol from non-CBI countries profitable, in spite of the tariff. During 2007, there were no material imports of ethanol into the U.S. In the past, significant imports of ethanol into the U.S. have had a negative effect on ethanol prices.
Use of Fuel Oxygenates. Ethanol is used by the refining industry as a fuel oxygenate, which, when blended with gasoline, allows engines to burn fuel more completely and reduce emissions from motor vehicles. The use of ethanol as an oxygenate had been propelled by regulatory factors, specifically two programs in the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, that required the use of oxygenated gasoline in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution. Although the federal oxygenate requirements for reformulated gasoline included in the Clean Air Act were completely eliminated on May 5, 2006, by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, refiners continue to use oxygenated gasoline in order to meet continued federal and state fuel emission standards.
State Mandates. Several states, including Missouri and Oregon, have enacted mandates that currently require ethanol blends of 10% ethanol in motor fuel sold within the state. Another state, Minnesota, has a 20% renewable fuel mandate that goes into effect in 2012. These mandates serve to increase demand for ethanol. As more states consider mandates, or if existing mandates are relaxed or eliminated, the demand for ethanol can be affected.
Environmental Matters
Once established, our ethanol production operations will be subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground; the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials; and the health and safety of our employees. These laws, regulations and permits also can require expensive pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws and regulations or permit conditions can result in substantial fines, natural resource damage, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or facility shutdowns. We do not anticipate a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition as a result of our compliance with these requirements. Currently, we cannot predict whether we will incur material capital expenditures for environmental controls, beyond the initial construction costs.
There is a risk of liability for the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at each of the properties that we own or operate and at off-site locations where we arrange for the disposal of hazardous substances. If these substances have been or are disposed of or released at sites that undergo investigation and/or remediation by regulatory agencies, we may be responsible under CERCLA or other environmental laws for all or part of the costs of investigation and/or remediation and for damage to natural resources. We may also be subject to related claims by private parties alleging property damage and personal injury due to exposure to hazardous or other materials at or from these properties. Some of these matters may require us to expend significant amounts for investigation and/or cleanup or other costs.
In addition, new laws, new interpretations of existing laws, increased governmental enforcement of environmental laws or other developments could require us to make additional significant expenditures. Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental controls at our ongoing operations. Present and future environmental laws and regulations (and related interpretations) applicable to our then-current operations, more vigorous enforcement policies and discovery of currently unknown conditions may require substantial capital and other expenditures. Our air emissions will be subject to the federal Clean Air Act, the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and similar state and local laws and associated regulations. The U.S. EPA has promulgated National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAP, under the federal Clean Air Act that could apply to facilities that we may own or operate, if the emissions of hazardous air pollutants exceed certain thresholds. Because other domestic ethanol manufacturers will have similar restrictions, however, we believe that compliance with more stringent air emission control or other environmental laws and regulations is not likely to materially affect our competitive position.
Employees
We currently have one employee, who is also an officer. We expect that we will hire non-management employees as such time as we complete an acquisition of one or more ethanol plants. We will continue to retain the services of independent contractors and outside professionals on an as-needed basis.

Item 6.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
During 2006, we had no revenues and we did not engage in active business operations until November 2006, when we started a new web page publishing business, which was discontinued in early 2007. During 2007, we acquired ALL Energy Company and actively pursued an ethanol-related business plan. We had no revenues during 2007.
Background
In January 2007, there occurred a change in control with respect to our company and new management was installed. Our new management has determined that we will pursue a plan of business whereby we would become a producer of ethanol and its co-products. To that end, in April 2007, we consummated a plan and agreement of reorganization with ALL Energy Company, a development-stage ethanol company. Our management and that of ALL Energy Company was and is the same.
Critical Accounting Policies
While we believe that the factors considered provide a meaningful basis for the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, we cannot guarantee that our estimates and assumptions will be accurate. If such estimates and assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to make adjustments to these estimates in future periods.
Asset Impairment. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”) requires that long-lived assets be considered impaired, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of those assets. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the property.
Litigation and Tax Assessments. Should we become involved in lawsuits, we intend to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes of any of these matters as well as the potential range of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies will be made after careful analysis of each matter. The required accrual may change from time to time, due to new developments in any matter or changes in approach (such as a change in settlement strategy) in dealing with these matters.
Additionally, in the future, we may become engaged in various tax audits by federal and state governmental authorities incidental to our business activities. We anticipate that we will record reserves for any estimated probable losses for any such proceeding.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment”. This Statement requires that transactions in which a company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services be accounted for using the fair-value method.
Plan of Operations
Unless and until we obtain the significant amount of capital required to acquire one or more existing ethanol production facilities or to construct the Manchester facility, our capital expenditures during the remainder of 2008 will not be significant.
Should we obtain the capital necessary to acquire one or more ethanol production facilities, we would, immediately upon completion of such acquisition transaction, become an ethanol producer.
Should we obtain the capital necessary only to construct the Manchester facility, our activities will be focused on completing that construction project on time and under budget, as we will not derive revenues from the Manchester facilities until construction is completed, a period of between 14 and 18 months from the date construction begins.
During the remainder of 2008, we intend to commit a small portion of our current capital to our recently announced alliance with a cellulosic biotech company. It is likely that this venture will require approximately $1.5 million over the next 24 months to complete the development of up to ten market-ready enzymes. The needed funding will be sought from third parties. Currently, there is no arrangement with any person for the needed funding. There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing and commercializing any enzyme products.
Management’s Plans Relating to Future Liquidity
We currently possess approximately $612,888 in cash, a level of capital sufficient to sustain our current operations for more than the next 12 months. However, we will require substantial additional capital to purchase one or more existing ethanol production facilities or to construct the Manchester facility. Our management believes it will be able to secure the financing, in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof, necessary to complete these opportunities. To this end, we have retained Trinity Capital, Houston, Texas, as our investment banker. In addition, we are seeking an investment partner for our enzyme venture. To date, we have not received a commitment for an equity investment or a loan in any amount. Should we fail to obtain such financing, our plan of business would likely be unsuccessful and we may be forced to cease operations.
Capital Expenditures
During 2007, we purchased approximately 150 acres of real property located in Manchester, Iowa, for $945,000 in cash. We intend to construct the Manchester facility on this site.
Should we obtain the capital required to acquire an existing ethanol production facility or to construct the Manchester facility, our capital expenditures during the remainder of 2008 will not be significant. However, we cannot predict the exact amount of these potential expenditures.
 
Item 7.
Financial Statements
The financial statements required to be furnished under this Item 7 are attached at the end of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. An index to our financial statements is also included below in Item 13(a)(2).
 
Item 8.
Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On February 14, 2007, we dismissed Mark Bailey & Associates, Ltd. as our independent auditor. At the time of the dismissal, there was no disagreement with respect to any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. On February 14, 2007, we engaged Farmer, Fuqua & Huff, P.C. as our new independent auditor, to audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and succeeding years. The decision to change auditors was unanimously approved by our board of directors.
 
Item 8A.
Controls and Procedures
In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, an evaluation was performed by our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to December 31, 2007.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, using the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Founders
The founders of our subsidiary, ALL Energy Company, are Dean Sukowatey and Sun Bear, LLC, a Texas limited liability company owned by Scott B. Gann. Information with respect to Mr. Sukowatey’s background appears above.
 
Scott B. Gann has been engaged in the stock brokerage business for over 14 years with several nationally-known brokerage firms. Currently, Mr. Gann is Managing Director of Investments at Sanders, Morris, Harris, Inc., in its Dallas, Texas, office. Mr. Gann is an officer and a director of Humanity Capital Holding Corp., a company that files periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During his career in the financial industry, Mr. Gann has advised public and private companies and high-profile investors, provided investment banking advice and performed money management services for private investors. Mr. Gann is a graduate of Baylor University, Waco, Texas, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the Hankamer School of Business. Mr. Gann is a licensed stock broker, holding Series 63, Series 7 and Series 65 licenses. Mr. Gann is a defendant in a lawsuit styled Securities and Exchange Commission, Plaintiff, v. Scott B. Gann and George B. Fasciano, Defendants, United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, Case No. 305CV-063L. In April 2008, the judge in this case found that Mr. Gann had violated Section 10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder with respect to certain market timing practices in trading securities of certain mutual funds.

Mr. Gann intends to appeal this judgment.
Board of Directors
The Company’s full board meet on two occasions during 2007 and took action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting on 17 occasions.
Audit Committee
There currently does not exist an audit committee of our board of directors. However, our current board intends to form such a committee in the near future and will appoint an independent director to serve on such committee who qualifies as and audit committee financial expert. This person shall be independent (as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act).
Compensation of Directors
Our outside directors are paid each calendar quarter for their services as directors. Currently, each of our outside directors is issued 5,000 shares of common stock each calendar quarter. These shares are valued based on the then-current market price of our common stock.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of directors. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but will continue to be subject to liability for the following:
-
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our shareholders;
-
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
-
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and
-
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our restated certificate of incorporation does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief remain available under Delaware law. Our restated certificate of incorporation does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as state or federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
In addition, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, including the non-exclusivity provisions of Delaware law, and under our bylaws, subject to limited exceptions. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for fees, expenses, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as our director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request. We believe that these bylaw provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also intend to maintain liability insurance for our officers and directors.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. A shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the registrant's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the registrant's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of equity securities of the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater-than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish the registrant with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to our most recent fiscal year, no Section 16(a) forms were timely filed. Each of our officers and directors has indicated that these reports will be filed in the near future.

Director Bonuses. During 2007, two of our directors, Brian K. Gibson and Steven J. Leavitt, were each issued 15,000 shares of our common stock, in consideration of their services as a director. These shares were valued at the then-current market price of our common stock, an aggregate value of $30,000.
Change-in-Control Transaction. In January 2007, there occurred a change in control of ALL Fuels & Energy Company. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, ALL Energy Company, a Delaware corporation, purchased 7,050,000 shares, or 57.24%, of our then-outstanding common stock from David Loflin. ALL Energy Company paid $150,000 for the 7,050,000 shares of our common stock, which funds were derived from ALL Energy Company’s working capital.
Reorganization Agreement. On April 9, 2007, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ALL Energy Company, a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we issued a total of 37,995,000 shares of our common stock to the ALL Energy Company shareholders.
In determining the number of shares of our common stock to be issued under the acquisition agreement, our board of directors did not employ any standard valuation formula or any other standard measure of value.
Retention Bonus. In January 2007, our former president, David Loflin, was issued 3,000,000 shares our common stock, as a retention bonus for his agreeing to work as much as necessary for us to have the greatest opportunity to achieve success in establishing and expanding our start-up web page publishing business. Our board of directors believed it to be in our best interests and those of our shareholders to compensate Mr. Loflin in this matter. These shares were valued, for financial reporting purposes, at $.026 per share, or $80,000, in the aggregate.

Purchase of Intangible Assets - Web Page Publishing. In November 2006, we entered into, and consummated, three separate asset purchase agreements, each of which relates to our acquiring certain web site domains and Internet web pages associated therewith from their owners. We issued shares of our common stock in consideration of the web site domains and web pages associated therewith, as more particularly described below.

B.
We entered into one of the asset purchase agreements with Tommy Loflin. Mr. Loflin is the adult son of our then-CEO, David Loflin. We issued 300,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Loflin, in consideration of 32 web site domains and Internet web pages associated therewith.
C.
We entered into one of the asset purchase agreements with David Loflin, our former CEO and a former director. We issued 750,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Lolfin, in consideration of 35 web site domains and Internet web pages associated therewith.
These web site domains and Internet web pages associated therewith have been assigned to a former officer, pursuant to a settlement agreement.
In determining the number of shares of our common stock to be issued under the three separate asset purchase agreements, our board of directors did not employ any standard valuation formula or any other standard measure of value.
ALL Energy Company - Pre-incorporation and Subscription Agreement. The founders of ALL Energy Company, Dean Sukowatey and Sun Bear, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, entered into a pre-incorporation agreement and subscription. Under this agreement, each of these founders purchased all of their common stock of ALL Energy Company for nominal consideration. Further, this agreement requires that the shares of ALL Energy Company issued thereunder to Mr. Sukowatey and Sun Bear vote for Mr. Sukowatey as a director of ALL Energy, until such time they own together less than 50% of our outstanding common stock, which provision is no longer of any effect.
ALL Energy Company - Employment Agreement. ALL Energy Company has entered into an employment agreement with Dean Sukowatey, who is our current president. Mr. Sukowatey’s employment agreement has a term of seven years, ending in August 2013. Mr. Sukowatey’s annual salary is $240,000. In connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Sukowatey executed an indemnity agreement, a confidentiality agreement and an agreement not to compete.
ALL Energy Company - Stock Subscription Agreement. In September 2006, ALL Energy Company entered into a stock subscription agreement with certain persons (and an affiliated entity) who had been integrally involved in the pre-incorporation activities of ALL Energy Company. The following describes the important provisions of this stock subscription agreement:
-
the other parties to the stock subscription agreement were Dean Sukowatey, acting in his individual capacity, R.L. Bibb Swain, Rob Swain, James R. Broghammer, Scott D. Zabler, John F. Hopkins, Jr. and Midwest Biofuels, Inc., a company owned by Mr. Broghammer;
-
Mr. Bibb Swain, as the owner of Delta-T Corporation, agreed to cause Delta-T to negotiate, in good faith, a development agreement relating to the construction of five (5) ethanol production facilities, which agreement is to be on terms and conditions substantially the same as the terms and conditions contained in extant ethanol-related development agreements between Delta-T and unaffiliated third-parties (ALL Energy Company and Delta-T have entered into such a project development agreement);
-
Mr. Rob Swain and Mr. Bibb Swain, as the majority owners of Pacesetter Management Group, LLC, agreed to cause Pacesetter to negotiate, in good faith, a management agreement relating to the management of five ethanol production facilities, which agreement is to be on terms and conditions substantially the same as the terms and conditions contained in extant ethanol-related management agreements between Pacesetter and third-parties (this agreement has not yet been completed);
-
Mr. Sukowatey agreed to tender for cancellation 10.5% of the shares of ALL Energy Company common stock then-owned by him (the shares of Mr. Sukowatey were cancelled);
-
Midwest Biofuels, Inc. agreed to assign its option to acquire approximately 150 acres of land located in Manchester, Iowa, on which the Manchester facility is to be constructed, in consideration of $10,000 (this option was delivered and the subject land purchased by a subsidiary of ALL Energy Company in March 2007);
-
Upon the execution of each of the agreements with Delta-T and Pacesetter, each of Messrs, Swain, Swain, Broghammer, Zabler and Hopkins shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase 142,857 shares of ALL Energy Company common stock, for a cash consideration of $143.00; and
-
Each of Messrs. Swain, Swain, Broghammer, Zabler and Hopkins agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of certain provisions of the pre-incorporation agreement and subscription described above, which provisions include an obligation to vote for Mr. Sukowatey as a director of ALL Energy Company, until such time as the founders of ALL Energy Company, including Messrs. Swain, Swain, Broghammer, Zabler and Hopkins, own less than 50% of the outstanding common stock of ALL Energy Company.
Should each of Messrs. Swain, Swain, Broghammer, Zabler and Hopkins purchase 142,857 shares of ALL Energy, assuming the completion of the acquisition of ALL Energy, our ownership of ALL Energy would be reduced to approximately 74%, without ALL Energy’s having received any significant value for the 26% ownership so purchased. It is likely that the purchases, if they occur, of this 26% ownership in ALL Energy would result in a significant one-time charge against our then-current earnings.
2004
In June 2004, there occurred a change in control of ALL Fuels & Energy Company (then known as ICrystal, Inc.) Pursuant to an amended and restated stock purchase agreement, Woodstock Investments, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, purchased 602,588 shares (as adjusted for a subsequent 1-for-17 reverse split), or 51.91%, of our then-outstanding common stock from existing shareholders. In connection with this change in control, David Loflin and Waddell D. Loflin became our directors. Messrs. Loflin are brothers.
Director and Officer Indemnification
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting liability of directors. In addition, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Please see “Item 9. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of ALL Fuels & Energy Company
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ALL Fuels & Energy Company (a development stage company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and from the date of commencement of the development stage (June 7, 2004) to December 31, 2007. ALL Fuels & Energy Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ALL Fuels & Energy Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and from the date of commencement of the development stage (June 7, 2004) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
December 31, 2007
 
 
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
ALL Fuels & Energy Company (the Company) was incorporated on October 5, 1994, in the state of Delaware as Cable Group South, Inc. In November 1998, the Company changed its name to Softnet Industries, Inc., and, in June 1999, the name was changed to ICrystal, Inc. In May 2007, the Company changed its name to ALL Fuels & Energy Company.
In June 2004, there occurred a change in control of the Company. Pursuant to an amended and restated stock purchase agreement, Woodstock Investments, LLC purchased 602,588 shares, or 51.91%, of the then-outstanding common stock from existing shareholders. During 2004, the Company commenced the development stage and had no operations.
In August 2004, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, increasing the amount of shares authorized to 80,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
From 2004 through November 2006, the Company searched for a going business to acquire, without success. Due to this lack of success, the Company’s board of directors determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for the Company to start a new business. After assessing the business opportunities available vis-a-vis the Company’s lack of available capital, in November 2006, the board of directors determined that the Company would become a publisher of web pages.
In January 2007, there occurred another change in control of the Company. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, ALL Energy Company purchased 4,700,000, or 7,050,000 post-forward-split, shares, or 57.24%, of our outstanding common stock from an existing shareholder.
After the January 2007 change in control, the Company’s new management determined to pursue a plan of business whereby the Company would become a producer of ethanol and its co-products. To that end, in April 2007, the Company consummated a plan and agreement of reorganization with ALL Energy Company. At the time of the reorganization transaction, ALL Energy Company was a development-stage ethanol company.
Pursuant to a settlement agreement, the Company’s former web page publishing business was assigned to a third party. None of the assets or operations of the Company’s former web page publishing business are included in the accompanying financial statements.
Accounting Estimates
In the preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, it is necessary for management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the year ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Asset Impairment
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”) requires that long-lived assets be considered impaired, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of those assets. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the property.
Loss per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "EARNINGS PER SHARE". Basic loss per share for each period is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive common stock equivalents had been converted to common stock. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had the following dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding:
-
12,540,732 common stock purchase warrants to purchase a like number of shares, expiring in 2017, at a net exercise price of zero.
-
Options to acquire up to 50,000 per week through April 30, 2008, at an exercise price equal to average Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes at enacted tax rates. Deferred tax amounts represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 The Company is subject to tax reporting in multiple jurisdictions, and considers the requirements of each jurisdiction, when preparing its estimates of taxes currently due or deferred. Each jurisdiction has its own oversight and enforcement bodies, and the Company is subject to audits in each taxing jurisdiction. The Company's provision for tax obligations represents estimates, which are subject to changes and adjustments resulting from future events. (See Note 2)
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment”. This Statement requires that transactions in which a company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services be accounted for using the fair-value method.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation prescribes that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any appeals. The interpretation provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN No. 48, which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2007, did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) which defines and measures fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position.
Note 2
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and benefits for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred tax liabilities and benefits are recognized using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax benefits and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in Canada and the U.S. in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The following is a schedule of the composition of the income tax benefit:

The net change in the valuation account was $2,623,088 and $52,700, in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The valuation allowance has been estimated in an amount equal to the projected future benefit of the loss carryforward because there is no assumption that the Company will generate sufficient income to utilize the tax benefit. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has filed no income tax returns. The losses incurred to date may be limited due to changes in control of the Company and limitations on the deductibility of fees for services paid through the issuance of common stock. In the event that all returns are filed and accepted by the taxing authority, the Company will have unused net operating losses available for carryforwards of approximately $8,540,000 that will start to expire in 2016 in the United States of America.
As a result of not filing all income tax returns, the Company may be subject to assessment of penalties. As of April 15, 2008, no assessments have been received and the likelihood of receiving such assessments or negotiating a settlement in the event assessments are received is difficult to estimate. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for any payments that may be made if such penalties are assessed.
Note 3
2007 Stock Ownership Plan
In October 2007, the board of directors adopted the 2007 Stock Ownership Plan (the “2004 Plan”), and authorized 2,000,000 shares. Under the 2007 Plan, the Company may make awards to employees, non-employees, directors, consultants, and independent contractors of shares of common stock or derivative securities such as incentives and non-qualified stock options. The 2007 Plan stipulates no terms or conditions for the awards to be granted. The value of the stock issued to consultants is based on fair market value of the goods or services received or stock prices obtained from published data.
During 2007, a total of 50,000 shares, with a weighted-average fair value of $.6357 per share, were sold to a consultant under the 2007 Plan.
Note 4
Impairment Charge
In November 2006, the Company entered into three separate asset purchase agreements, whereby the Company acquired certain web site domains and internet web pages associated therewith (the “web assets”), in exchange for 1,950,000 restricted shares of common stock. There was no verifiable fair value of the web assets. The Company therefore recorded these assets at the fair value of the issued shares. The fair value of the shares was determined to be $52,000.
Following a change in control transaction occurring in January 2007, the Company’s web page publishing business was assigned to a subsidiary. During 2006 and 2007, the web page publishing assets did not generated any revenues. Pursuant to a settlement agreement, in January 2008, the Company’s web page publishing business was assigned to a third party.
Pursuant to SFAS 144, the Company has determined the carrying value of the web assets exceeds the sum of their expected future cash flows and, as of December 31, 2006, recorded an impairment charge of $52,000. This charge, equal to the entire carrying value of the web assets, is reflected in the Company’s statements of operations.
Note 5
Related Party Transactions
During 2006, the Company acquired certain web site domains and Internet web pages associated therewith from related parties, in exchange for 1,950,000 restricted shares of common stock. The fair value of these shares was determined to be $52,000.
During 2006, the Company also issued a total of 3,525,000 shares of common stock for retention bonuses to Company officers. The aggregate fair value of these shares was determined to be $80,500.
In January 2007, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock in payment of a retention bonuses to a Company officer. The fair value of these shares was determined to be $80,000.
During 2007, the Company issued a total of 30,000 to two of its directors as bonuses. The issuance of these shares resulted in $30,000 in general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company measured the transactions at the date of issuance at the then-quoted market price. There are no performance commitments or penalties for non-performance, therefore the Company recorded the expense at the date of issuance.
Note 6
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Note 7
Acquisition of ALL Energy Company
On April 9, 2007, the Company acquired ALL Energy Company, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which ALL Energy Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
