FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These forward-looking statements include statements that reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and our industry in general. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
  •  adverse changes in the current global economic environment or in the markets in which we operate, including the power generation, natural gas infrastructure and petrochemical and processing industries;
 
  •  the impact of the current global credit crisis, including the impact on the trading price of our common stock and our ability and our customers’ ability to access capital markets;
 
  •  changes in the price, supply or demand for natural gas, bio fuel and oil;
 
  •  changes in current environmental legislation;
 
  •  increased competition;
 
  •  decreased demand for our products;
 
  •  the effects of U.S. involvement in hostilities with other countries and large-scale acts of terrorism, or the threat of hostilities or terrorist acts;
 
  •  changes in our ability to conduct business outside the United States, including changes in foreign laws and regulations;
 
  •  risks associated with the significant indebtedness that we incurred in connection with our acquisition of Nitram Energy, Inc., in April 2008;
 
  •  stockholder approval of the issuance of common stock related to our Series A Preferred Stock issued on September 4, 2009;
 
  •  limitations on raising additional equity, imposed by our Series A Preferred Stock;
 
  •  the effects of natural disasters; and
 
  •  loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key employees.
 
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this prospectus and other reports we file with the Commission, including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The shares being registered are currently owned or, with respect to certain selling stockholders, may be acquired by the selling stockholder upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants to purchase our common stock. The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, or acquires common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants received from a selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
 
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
 
  •  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
  •  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
  •  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
  •  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
  •  privately negotiated transactions;
 
  •  short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;
 
  •  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
  •  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and
 
  •  a combination of any such methods of sale.
 
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling

stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
 
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
 
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
 
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
All of the shares of common stock registered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants owned by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders acquired the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants under a securities purchase agreement, dated September 4, 2009, between us and the selling stockholders (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants were issued and sold for an aggregate purchase price of $21,140,000.
 
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to register for resale the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. This prospectus and the related registration statement fulfill that obligation and will permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares acquired by full or partial conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or full or partial exercise of the Warrants for resale from time to time. We have agreed to pay all expenses resulting from our obligation to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. This prospectus relates only to sales of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants and does not cover sales of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Warrants themselves.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted in full or in part, from time to time and at any time, by the holder thereof, at an initial conversion price of $8.00 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The conversion price will be adjusted for stock splits, dividends and the like and in the event we issue and sell our equity securities at a price below the conversion price. Beginning on the second anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, we may require the conversion of any and all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, provided, that the volume weighted average price per share of our common stock exceeds 200% of the conversion price for twenty of the immediately preceding thirty consecutive trading days.
 
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 6.0%. In the event the Company fails to fulfill its obligations under the Preferred Stock, the dividend rate will increase to an annual rate of 8.0%. In addition, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference. A change in control of the company will be deemed to be a liquidation and will entitle the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to the liquidation preference.
 
At any time after five years from the date of issuance, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders or the Company. The purchase price per share for redemptions will be equal to the original price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.
 
The NASDAQ Marketplace rules limit the number of shares of common stock that may be issued in a private placement at a discount to the then-current market price without obtaining stockholder approval. As a result, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that could be issued upon the conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock or payment of the dividends or liquidation preference was limited to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on September 4, 2009 until stockholder approval was obtained. We agreed to seek stockholder approval of this matter and to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock by 25 million shares. We received this required stockholder approval at our annual meeting held in November of 2009.
 
The Warrants have a five-year term and will become exercisable on March 4, 2010. The exercise price is equal to the closing bid price of our common stock on September 3, 2009, or $10.56, and is not subject to anti-dilution protection, except in the case of stock splits, dividends and the like.
 
The following table sets forth information with respect to the selling stockholders and the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders including shares that may be offered under this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholders to us and is as of October 22, 2009, unless stated otherwise. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some portion of the common stock, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholders.
 
Except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, each of the selling stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock and has not held any position or office or had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. Each of the selling stockholders has confirmed to us that is not a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer within the meaning of United States federal securities laws.
