<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">At
August 31, 2012, the Company had a U.S. federal alternative
minimum tax credit carryforward of $3.4 million with no expiration,
research and development credit carryforwards of $1.4 million
expiring 2025 through 2032, a small ethanol producer credit of $2.8
million expiring 2014, and a net operating loss carryforward of
$18.7 million expiring in 2030. The Company also has U.S. state net
operating loss carryforwards of $20.8 million with expiration dates

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In fiscal 2012,
the Company recorded a $1.8 million valuation allowance related to
small ethanol producer tax credit carryforwards which expire in
fiscal 2014. Tax laws require that any net operating loss
carryforwards be utilized before the Company can utilize the small
ethanol producer tax credit carryforwards. As a result of
challenging market trends in the third quarter related to the cost
of corn and ethanol pricing and the redemptions of the
Company’s Series A Preferred Stock discussed in Note 7,
estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward periods
have been revised. Due to the near-term expiration of the small
ethanol producer tax credit carryforward period, the Company does
not believe it has sufficient positive evidence to substantiate
that the small ethanol tax credit carryforwards are realizable at a
more-likely-than-not level of assurance and has recorded a $1.8
million valuation allowance. The valuation allowance will be
reversed in future periods if it is more likely than not that these
tax credit carryforwards will be utilized.</font></p>

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a $44,000 valuation
allowance related to charitable contributions which expire in
fiscal years 2013 through 2015. Tax laws limit the deduction of
charitable contributions to 10% of otherwise taxable income with
the excess carried forward for 5 years. Utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards are considered to reduce taxable
income. Due to the near-term expiration of these deductions, the
Company does not believe that it has sufficient positive evidence
to substantiate that the charitable contributions carryforwards are
realizable at a more-likely-than-not level of assurance and has
recorded a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance will be
reversed in future periods if it is more likely than not that these
deductions will be utilized.</font></p>

August 31, 2012, the Company had $13.3 million of net deferred

contributions discussed above, a valuation allowance has not been
provided on the net U.S. deferred tax assets as of August 31,
2012. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance
requires significant judgment and estimates. The Company evaluates
the requirement for a valuation allowance each quarter as the
Company incurred book losses in fiscal 2012 and the two previous
fiscal years. However, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock,
as well as the accretion of the related discount, which are
included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations, are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, which resulted in the Company having taxable income in
fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The Company believes that it is more
likely than not that future operations will generate sufficient
taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets. However, there
can be no assurance that management’s current plans will be
achieved or that a valuation allowance will not be required in the
future.</font></p>

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalty expense
associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income
tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of August 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $0.2 million
of accrued interest and penalties included in the long-term tax
liability. During fiscal 2012, the Company decreased the liability
for unrecognized tax benefits by $11,000 for interest and $6,000
for penalties.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Company
files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various U.S.
state jurisdictions, and is subject to examination by taxing
authorities in all of those jurisdictions. From time to time, the
Company’s tax returns are reviewed or audited by U.S. federal
and various U.S. state taxing authorities. The Company believes
that adjustments, if any, resulting from these reviews or audits
would not be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or
liquidity. It is reasonably possible that the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits related to certain of the Company’s
tax positions will increase or decrease in the next twelve months
as audits or reviews are initiated and settled. At this time, an
estimate of the range of a reasonably possible change cannot be
made. In January 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) notified the Company that its tax refund of
$3.5 million resulting from a carryback of tax losses from
fiscal year 2009 to fiscal years 2006 and 2007 was being evaluated
to determine whether the refund would be examined or accepted
without examination. In March 2012, the Company was notified by the
IRS that it had completed its review with no material adjustments.
The Company is not subject to income tax examinations by U.S.
federal or state jurisdictions for fiscal years prior to
2007.</font></p>
