NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010

Note 1.Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Financial information as of January 31, 2010 included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 (fiscal year 2009). It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report include the operating results and financial position of REX ~~Stores~~American Resources Corporation and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company includes the results of operations of Levelland Hockley County Ethanol, LLC (“Levelland Hockley”) and One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) in its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month.

Nature of Operations – The Company operates in two reportable segments, alternative energy and real estate. The Company substantially completed the exit of its retail business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, although it will continue to recognize revenue and expense associated with administering extended service policies as discontinued operations.

Reclassifications – Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company identified an error in its classification of certain closed retail stores as continuing operations as of January 31, 2009 and for the interim periods subsequent to January 31, 2009 and for the classification of its extended warranty operations as continuing operations for interim periods subsequent to April 30, 2009. Management evaluated the affects of the error on the consolidated financial statements and concluded the error was not material. Prior period results have been reclassified to correct the presentation of continuing and discontinued operations. The ~~affect~~result of the error on the quarter ended April 30, 2009 was to reduce the loss from continuing operations including noncontrolling interests in the amount of $312,000. The result of the error on the quarter ended July 31, 2009 was to reduce income from continuing operations including noncontrolling interests in the amount of $1,435,000. The errors had no impact on net income or loss; however it did impact the presentation of income or loss from continuing and discontinued operations.

Note 2.Accounting Policies

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year end. Examples of such estimates include management bonuses, restructuring accruals, the fair value of financial instruments, reserves for lower of cost or market inventory calculations, reserves for bad debts and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales from the production of ethanol and distillers grains when title transfers to customers, generally upon shipment from ~~its~~the ethanol plant. Shipping and handling charges to ethanol customers are included in net sales and revenue.

The Company includes income from real estate leasing activities in net sales and revenue. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. Accordingly, minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Prior to exiting the retail business, the Company sold retail product service contracts covering periods beyond the normal manufacturers’ warranty periods, usually with terms of coverage (including manufacturers’ warranty periods) of between 12 to 60 months. Contract revenues and sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts after the expiration of applicable manufacturers’ warranty periods. The Company retains the obligation to perform warranty service and such costs are expensed as incurred. All related revenue and expense is classified as discontinued operations.

Cost of Sales

Ethanol cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, ~~shipping costs,~~ other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant management, certain compensation costs, and general facility overhead charges.

Real estate cost of sales includes depreciation, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other costs directly associated with operating the Company’s portfolio of real property.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes non-production related costs from its alternative energy segment such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and ~~certain payroll~~other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company includes costs not directly related to operating its portfolio of real property from its real estate segment such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company includes costs associated with its corporate headquarters such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest Cost

No interest was capitalized for the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010. Interest expense of ~~$878,000~~$1,604,000 for the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2009 is net of approximately ~~$883,000~~$1,651,000 of interest capitalized. Cash paid for interest for the ~~quarters~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately ~~$1,275,000~~$2,448,000 and ~~$607,000,~~$1,131,000, respectively.

Financial Instruments

Forward grain purchase and ethanol and distiller grain sale contracts are accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”) because these arrangements are for purchases of grain that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol and distiller grain quantities expected to be produced by the Company over a reasonable period time in the normal course of business. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its balance of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual exchange of the notional amounts between the parties. The swap agreements were not designated for hedge accounting pursuant to ASC 815. The interest rate swaps are recorded at their fair values and the changes in fair values are recorded as gain or loss on derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The Company paid settlements of interest rate swaps of approximately ~~$357,000~~$1,711,000 and ~~$347,000~~$811,000 for the ~~quarters~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company’s estimated annual tax rate. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on

the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company paid no income taxes during the ~~quarters~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company received income tax refunds of ~~$5,495,000~~$5,539,000 and $9,000 during the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~April 30, 2010. The Company received no tax refunds during the quarter ended April 30, 2009.~~July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, total unrecognized tax benefits were ~~$2,199,000~~$2,200,000 and accrued penalties and interest were ~~$158,000.~~$183,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $129,000 of the reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Alternative energy segment inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. Reserves are established for estimated net realizable value based primarily upon commodity prices. The components of inventory at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Total	$	7,430	$	8,698	$	6,372	$	8,698

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Assets under capital leases are capitalized at the lower of the net present value of minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the leased asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 20 years for fixtures and equipment.

In accordance with ASC 360-05Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed for recoverability by management when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of undiscounted future expected cash flows from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. Impairment charges were approximately $0.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2010 and related to the Company’s real estate segment. Impairment charges were not significant in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year ~~2010 or~~ 2009. Impairment charges result from the Company’s management performing cash flow analysis and represent management’s estimate of the excess of net book value over fair value. Fair value is estimated using expected future cash flows on a discounted basis, or appraisals of specific

properties, or pending sales contracts of specific properties as appropriate. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Generally, declining cash flows from an ethanol plant or deterioration in local real

estate market conditions are indicators of possible impairment.

Investments

In accordance with ASC 320-10Investments-Debt and Equity Securities,the Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, in addition to persistent, declining market prices, general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for all or a portion of the unrealized loss and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounting Changes and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that clarified how a company determines whether an entity, that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through voting (or similar rights), should be capitalized (ASC Topic 810). This determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This standard requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This standard also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted this standard as of January 31, 2010. This standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASU 2010-06”), which adds new disclosure requirements for transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The ASU was effective February 1, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. This standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4.Sale and Leaseback Transaction and Other Leases

On April 30, 2007, the Company completed a transaction for the sale of 86 of its former store locations to KLAC REX, LLC (“Klac”) for $74.5 million in cash, before selling expenses. The Company also entered into leases to leaseback 40 of the properties from Klac for initial lease terms expiring January 31, 2010. All of the leases with Klac ~~have~~had been terminated as of ~~April 30,~~January 31, 2010.

This transaction resulted in a gain (realized and deferred) of $14.8 million. Of this gain, ~~$2.6~~$3.9 million was recognized in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009. No gain was recognized in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010. As a result of the wind down of the Company’s retail business, the term over which the deferred gain was being amortized was shortened and is based upon the Company abandoning, or otherwise ceasing use of, the leased property. See Note 13 for a discussion of restructuring related charges.

At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, the Company has lease or sub-lease agreements, as landlord, for all or portions of 1013 properties. The Company owns ~~nine~~12 of these properties and is the tenant/sub landlord for one of the properties. All of the leases are accounted for as operating leases.

Note 5.Fair Value

Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, ~~“Fair~~Fair Value Measurements and ~~Disclosures”~~Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. This accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also eliminated the deferral of gains and losses at inception of certain derivative contracts whose fair value was not evidenced by market observable data. ASC 820 requires that the impact of this change in accounting for derivative contracts be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. There was no impact on the beginning balance of retained earnings as a result of adopting ASC 820 because the Company held no financial instruments in which a gain or loss at inception was deferred.

Effective February 1, 2008, the Company determined the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. ASC 820 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are provided below. The Company carries cash equivalents, investments in debt securities, restricted investments, derivative liabilities and ~~derivative~~contingent consideration liabilities at fair value.

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the

assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methods, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Unobservable inputs shall be developed based on the best information available, which may include the Company’s own data.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case interest rate, price or index scenarios are extrapolated in order to determine the fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, the Company’s own credit standing and other specific factors, where appropriate. To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments.

The fair values of contingent consideration liabilities are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates. In addition, inputs such as the Company’s cost of capital and the timing of certain cash flows are estimated using management’s assumptions and projections.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

Note 8.Long Term Debt and Interest Rate Swaps

Levelland Hockley Subsidiary Level Debt

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, pursuant to the terms of the construction loan agreement with GE Capital (“the Bank”), Levelland Hockley converted ~~the~~its construction loan into a permanent term loan. Beginning with the first monthly payment on June 30, 2008, payments are due in 59 equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (June 30, 2013) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest. The term loan bears interest at a floating rate of 400 basis points above LIBOR ~~(4.3%~~(4.4% at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010), adjusted monthly through the maturity date. Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of Levelland Hockley. This debt is recourse only to Levelland Hockley and not to REX ~~Stores~~American Resources Corporation or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, approximately ~~$36.1~~$35.0 million was

outstanding on the term loan. Levelland Hockley is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including required levels of EBITDAR, debt service coverage ratio requirements, net worth requirements and other common covenants. On September 1, 2010, Levelland Hockley ~~was in~~amended its loan agreement with the Bank to adjust certain covenants and to waive defaults occurring prior to July 1, 2010. As a condition of the modification of the loan agreement, REX agreed to increase its line of credit facility to Levelland Hockley from $3.0 million to $4.0 million (inclusive of a $1.0 million letter of credit) through January 31, 2011. In exchange for REX increasing the line of credit facility, REX received a warrant which entitles REX to subscribe for and purchase from Levelland Hockley 324,675 membership units at an exercise price of $3.08 per membership unit.

Management believes, based on forecasts which are primarily based on estimates of plant production, prices of ethanol, milo, distillers grains and natural gas as well as other assumptions management believes to be reasonable, that Levelland Hockley will be able to maintain compliance with ~~its~~the covenants for at least the next 12 months. Management believes that cash flow from operating activities together with working capital will be sufficient to meet Levelland Hockley’s liquidity needs. However, if a material adverse change in the financial position or operations of Levelland Hockley should occur, or if actual sales, the availability of milo or if expenses are substantially different than forecasted, Levelland Hockley’s liquidity and ability to fund future operating and capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants ~~at April 30, 2010.~~could be negatively impacted.

Levelland Hockley ~~has~~ paid approximately $3.5 million in financing ~~costs.~~costs related to the term loan. These costs are recorded as prepaid loan fees and are amortized ratably over the term of the loan.

The Company’s proportionate share of restricted assets related to Levelland Hockley was ~~$12.2~~$10.8 million and $13.2 million at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. Levelland Hockley’s restricted assets total approximately ~~$21.8~~$19.2 million and $23.6 million at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. Such assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of Levelland Hockley per the terms of the loan agreement with ~~GE Capital.~~

~~Levelland Hockley entered into a forward interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $43.7 million with Merrill Lynch Capital during fiscal year 2007. The swap effectively fixed~~ the ~~variable interest rate of the term loan subsequent to the plant completion date at 7.89%. The swap settlements commenced on May 31, 2008 and terminated on April 30,~~Bank.

~~2010. The change in fair value was recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.~~

One Earth Energy Subsidiary Level Debt

In September 2007, One Earth entered into a $111,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a construction loan agreement for $100,000,000 together with a $10,000,000 revolving loan and a $1,000,000 letter of credit with First National Bank of Omaha (the “Bank”). The construction loan was converted into a term loan on July 31, 2009 as all of the requirements, for such conversion, of the construction and term loan agreement were fulfilled. The term loan bears interest at variable interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 300 basis points to LIBOR plus 310 basis points ~~(3.3% -3.4%~~(3.4% -3.5% at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on October 8, 2009, payments are due in 20 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (July 31, 2014) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest.

Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of One Earth. This debt is recourse only to One Earth and not to REX ~~Stores~~American Resources Corporation or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, approximately ~~$86.2~~$83.2 million was outstanding on the term loan. One Earth is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including required levels of EBITDA, debt service coverage ratio requirements, net worth requirements and other common covenants. One Earth

was in compliance with all covenants at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010. One Earth ~~has~~ paid approximately $1.4 million in financing costs. These costs are recorded as prepaid loan fees and are amortized ratably over the term of the loan.

The Company’s proportionate share of restricted assets related to One Earth was ~~$53.3~~$56.1 million and $47.9 million at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. One Earth’s restricted assets, which are less than 100% of total net assets, total approximately ~~$72.3~~$76.1 million and $65.0 million at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. Such assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of One Earth per the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank.

One Earth entered into two forward interest rate swaps in the notional amounts of $50.0 million and $25.0 million with the Bank. The swap settlements commenced as of July 31, 2009; the $50.0 million swap terminates on July 8, 2014 and the $25.0 million swap terminates on July 31, 2011. The $50.0 million swap fixed a portion of the variable interest rate of the term loan subsequent to the plant completion date at 7.9% while the $25.0 million swap fixed the rate at 5.49%. At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, the Company recorded a liability of ~~$5.6~~$6.2 million related to the fair value of the swaps. The change in fair value is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure at ~~Levelland Hockley and~~ One Earth by fixing the interest rate on a portion of the entity’s variable rate debt. The Company does not engage in trading activities involving derivative contracts for which a

lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques. As of ~~March~~July 31, 2010, the notional value of the ~~Levelland Hockley and~~ One Earth interest rate swaps ~~were $35.3 million and $72.2 million, respectively.~~was $69.5 million. At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, the Company has recorded a liability of ~~$5.7~~$6.2 million related to the fair value of the swaps.
          The notional amounts and fair values of derivatives, all of which are not designated as cash flow hedges at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands):

          As the interest rate swaps are not designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain and loss on the derivatives is reported in current earnings. The Company reported losses of ~~$167,000~~$1,878,000 and $108,000 in the second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company reported losses of $2,045,000 and $665,000 in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~year~~years 2010 and ~~losses of $556,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~2009, respectively.
          In the normal course of its ethanol business, the Company enters into forward pricing agreements for the purchase of grain and for the sale of ethanol and distillers grains for delivery in future periods. The Company accounts for these forward pricing arrangements under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815, ~~“Derivatives~~Derivatives and ~~Hedging”~~Hedging.

          Levelland Hockley and One Earth have combined forward purchase contracts for ~~6,859,000~~4,388,000 bushels of sorghum and corn, the principal raw materials for their ethanol plants. Levelland Hockley and One Earth expect to take delivery of the grain through ~~July~~August 2010. The unrealized ~~loss~~gain of such contracts was approximately ~~$1,395,000~~$555,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2010.
          Levelland Hockley and One Earth have combined sales commitments for ~~17.7~~10.4 million gallons of ethanol and ~~115,000~~105,000 tons of distiller grains. Levelland Hockley and One Earth expect to deliver the ethanol and distiller grains through ~~August~~December 2010. The unrealized gain of such contracts was approximately ~~$1,694,000~~$576,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2010.
Note 10.Stock Option Plans
          The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which stock options have been granted to directors, officers and key employees at the market price on the date of the grant.
No options have been granted since fiscal year 2004.
          The fair values of options granted were estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005: risk-free interest rate of 4.7%, expected volatility of 65.4% and a weighted average stock option life of nine years for all option grants.
          The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the ~~quarters~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.5 million and ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million, respectively, resulting in tax

deductions to realize benefits of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, ~~for each period.~~respectively. The following table summarizes options granted, exercised and canceled or expired during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010:

          The Company has classified ~~two properties~~one property with a carrying value of approximately ~~$976,000~~$92,000 as held for sale at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, which ~~are~~is included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

Note 16.Commitments and Contingencies
          The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. After taking into consideration legal counsels’ evaluations of such actions, management is of the opinion that their outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Note 17.Segment Reporting
          Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company realigned its reportable business segments to be consistent with changes to its management structure and reporting. The Company has two segments: alternative energy and real estate. In prior years, the real estate segment was formerly included in the retail segment and historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year segment reporting presentation. For stores and warehouses closed for which the Company has a retained interest in the related real estate, operations are presented in the real estate segment when retail operations cease. Former retail operations results are classified as discontinued operations. The Company evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on segment profit. Segment profit excludes income taxes, indirect interest expense, discontinued operations, indirect interest income and certain other items that are included in net income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Segment profit includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. The following table summarizes segment and other results and assets (amounts in thousands):

          Certain corporate costs and expenses, including information technology, employee benefits and other shared services are allocated to the business segments. The allocations are generally amounts agreed upon by management, which may differ from amounts that would be incurred if such services were purchased separately by the business segment. Corporate assets are primarily cash and deferred income tax benefits.
          Cash, except for cash held by Levelland Hockley and One Earth, is considered to be fungible and available for both corporate and segment use dependent on liquidity requirements. Cash of approximately ~~$15.3~~$15.6 million held by Levelland Hockley and One Earth will be used to fund working capital needs for those ~~entities.~~entities and to provide for approximately $5 million in grain storage additions at One Earth in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2010.

Note 18.Subsequent Events
          See Note 8 for a discussion of a subsequent event affecting Levelland Hockley’s long term debt.
          The company evaluated all subsequent event activity through September 9, 2010 (the issue date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and concluded that no additional subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
I~~tem~~Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
          Overview
          Historically, we were a specialty retailer in the consumer electronics/appliance industry serving small to medium-sized towns and communities. In addition, we have been an investor in various alternative energy entities beginning with synthetic fuel partnerships in 1998 and later ethanol production facilities beginning in 2006.
          In fiscal year 2007 we began to evaluate strategic alternatives for our retail segment with a focus on closing unprofitable or marginally profitable retail stores and monetizing our retail-related real estate assets. We did not believe that we were generating an adequate return from our retail business due to the competitive nature of the consumer electronics and appliance industry and the overall economic conditions in the United States. Reflecting this focus, in fiscal year 2008, we commenced an evaluation of a broad range of alternatives intended to derive value from the remaining retail operations and our real estate portfolio. We engaged an investment banking firm to assist us in analyzing and ultimately marketing our retail operations. As part of

those marketing efforts, late in fiscal year 2008 we leased 37 owned store locations to a third party. During fiscal year 2009, the lease agreements were terminated. We are marketing the vacant properties to lease or sell.
          We completed our exit of the retail business as of July 31, 2009. Going forward, we expect that our only retail related activities will consist of the administration of previously sold extended service plans and the payment of related claims. All activities related to extended service plans are classified as discontinued operations.
          We currently have approximately ~~$111~~$125 million of equity and debt investments in ~~four~~five ethanol limited liability ~~corporations,~~companies, two of which we have a majority ownership interest in. We ~~are considering~~may consider making additional investments in the alternative energy segment during fiscal year 2010.
          Our ethanol operations are highly dependent on commodity prices, especially prices for corn, sorghum, ethanol, distillers grains and natural gas. As a result of price volatility for these commodities, our operating results can fluctuate substantially. The price and availability of corn and sorghum are subject to significant fluctuations depending upon a number of factors that affect commodity prices in general, including crop conditions, weather, federal policy and foreign trade. Because the market price of ethanol is not always directly related to corn and sorghum prices, at times ethanol prices may lag movements in corn prices and, in an environment of higher prices, reduce the overall margin structure

at the plants. As a result, at times, we may operate our plants at negative or marginally positive operating margins.
          We expect our ethanol plants to produce approximately 2.8 gallons of denatured ethanol for each bushel of grain processed in the production cycle. We refer to the difference between the price per gallon of ethanol and the price per bushel of grain (divided by 2.8) as the “crush spread.” Should the crush spread decline, it is possible that our ethanol plants will generate operating results that do not provide adequate cash flows for sustained periods of time. In such cases, production at the ethanol plants may be reduced or stopped altogether in order to minimize variable costs at individual plants. We expect these decisions to be made on an individual plant basis, as there are different market conditions at each of our ethanol plants.
          We attempt to manage the risk related to the volatility of grain and ethanol prices by utilizing forward grain purchase and forward ethanol and distillers grain sale contracts. We attempt to match quantities of ethanol and distillers grains sale contracts with an appropriate quantity of grain purchase contracts over a given period of time when we can obtain an adequate gross margin resulting from the crush spread inherent in the contracts we have executed. However, the market for future ethanol sales contracts is not a mature market. Consequently, we generally execute contracts for no more than three months into the future at any given time. As a result of the relatively short period of time our contracts cover, we generally cannot predict the future movements in the crush spread for more than three months; thus, we are unable to predict the likelihood or amounts of future income or loss from the operations of our ethanol facilities.

          Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
          During the three fiscal months ended July 31, 2010, we did not change any of our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2010. All other accounting policies used in preparing our interim fiscal 2010 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those described in our Form 10-K.
Fiscal Year
          All references in this report to a particular fiscal year are to REX’s fiscal year ended January 31. For example, “fiscal year 2010” means the period February 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011.
          We are no longer presenting the comparable prior year quarter end balance sheet ~~(April 30,~~(July 31, 2009) which was included in prior year quarterly filings. With the exit of the retail business, and the lack of seasonality of working capital balances in the alternative energy and real estate segments, we believe such information is no longer useful to understand trends in our business.
Results of Operations
          For a detailed analysis of period to period changes, see the segment discussion that follows this section as this is how management views and monitors our business.

Comparison of Three Months and Six Months Ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 2009
          Net sales and revenue in the quarter ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 were ~~$71.3~~$65.1 million compared to ~~$14.2~~$17.1 million in the prior year’s ~~first~~second quarter, representing an increase of ~~$57.1~~$48.0 million. Net sales and revenue do not include sales from retail and real estate operations classified as discontinued operations. The increase was primarily caused by higher sales in our alternative energy segment of ~~$56.9~~$48.0 million. Net sales and revenue from our real estate segment ~~increased $0.2 million over~~were consistent with the prior year’s second quarter.
          Net sales and revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 were $136.4 million compared to $31.4 million for the first ~~quarter to $0.3~~six months of fiscal year 2009. This represents an increase of $105.0 million. The increase was primarily caused by higher sales in our alternative energy segment of $104.9 million.
          The following table reflects the approximate percent of net sales for each major product and service group for the following periods:

Gross profit for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 increased by ~~$8.2~~$4.1 million compared to the prior year from our alternative energy segment. Gross loss for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 increased by ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million compared to the prior year from our real estate segment.
          Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $12.8 million (9.4% of net sales and revenue) which was approximately $11.3 million higher compared to $1.5 million (4.9% of net sales and revenue) for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased by $12.4 million compared to the prior years as a result of operations in the alternative energy segment. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 decreased by $1.1 million compared to the prior year from our real estate segment.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 were ~~$2.1~~$1.9 million (2.9% of net sales and revenue), an increase of ~~$0.9~~$0.3 million from ~~$1.2~~$1.6 million ~~(8.4%~~

(9.5% of net sales and revenue) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million (2.9% of net sales and revenue) for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 representing an increase of $1.2 million from $2.8 million (8.8% of net sales and revenue) for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. For the second quarter of fiscal year ~~2009. Compared~~2010, these expenses increased

approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior year in the corporate and other category. For the first six months of fiscal year 2010, these expenses increased approximately ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.5 million compared to the prior year in the alternative energy segment and the corporate and other category, respectively.
          Interest income was ~~$0.1~~$124,000 and $114,000 for the second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest income was $238,000 and $259,000 for the first six months of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. We expect interest income to remain consistent with the prior year results for the remainder of fiscal year 2010.
          Interest expense was $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of $0.5 million over the prior year second quarter. Interest expense was $2.7 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to ~~$0.2~~$1.6 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year ~~2009.~~2009, an increase of $1.1 million. The decrease results primarily from lower yields earned on our excess cash compared to the prior year. The lower yields are a result of the overall macroeconomic environment and not a result of a shift to investments with less risk.
          ~~Interest expense was $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The increase was~~increases were primarily attributable to the alternative energy segment as we had higher amounts of average debt outstanding upon the completion of construction of One Earth’s ethanol plant. We expect interest expense, subsequent to the quarter ended July 31, 2010 to be consistent with prior year amounts as the construction of One Earth’s ethanol plant was completed prior to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Consequently, we ceased capitalizing interest related to such construction during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
          During the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year ~~2009,~~2010, we paid off ~~approximately $7.3 million of~~real estate related debt prior to its maturity. As a result, we incurred prepayment penalties and the write off of prepaid loan fees ~~totaling~~of approximately ~~$0.1 million. There were no such penalties or fees~~$48,000 compared to $100,000 incurred during the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year ~~2010.~~2009.
          During the ~~first quarters~~second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, we recognized income of approximately ~~$2.8 million~~$1,083,000 and ~~a loss of approximately $0.3 million,~~$184,000, respectively, from our equity investments in Big River and Patriot. During the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~year~~years 2010 and 2009, we recognized income of approximately ~~$1.3 million~~$3,930,000 and ~~$1.5 million~~a loss of $77,000, respectively, from our equity investments in Big River and Patriot, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, we recognized income of approximately $0.1 million and a loss of approximately $0.4 million from our equity investments in Big River and Patriot, respectively.Patriot. Big River has a 92 million gallon plant which has been in operation since 2004. Big River opened an additional 100 million gallon plant during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and acquired a 50.5% ownership in a 100 million gallon plant in August 2009. Patriot completed construction of its 100 million gallon plant during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.
          Due to the inherent volatility of the crush spread, we cannot predict the likelihood of future operating results from Big River and Patriot being similar to fiscal year 2010 results.
          We recognized losses of ~~$167,000~~approximately $1.9 million and ~~$556,000~~$0.2 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to forward starting interest rate swap agreements that One Earth and Levelland Hockley ~~and One Earth~~ entered into during fiscal year 2007. ~~During~~We recognized a loss related to the swaps of approximately $2.0 million during the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 ~~One Earth’s loss was $167,000.~~compared to $0.7 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Levelland Hockley’s swap expired in April 2010 while One Earth’s swaps will expire in July 2011 and July 2014. In general, declining interest rates have a negative effect on our interest rate swaps as our swaps fixed the interest rate of variable rate debt. Should interest rates continue to decline, we would expect to experience continued losses on the interest rate swaps. We would expect to incur gains on the interest rate swaps

should interest rates increase. We cannot predict the future movements in interest rates; thus, we are unable to predict the likelihood or amounts of future gains or losses related to interest rate swaps.

          Our effective tax rate was ~~33.4%~~60.9% and ~~29.9%~~19.1% for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was 36.0% compared to 26.1% for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Our effective tax rate increased, as the noncontrolling interests in the income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries is presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations after the income tax provision or benefit. The noncontrolling interests in the income or loss of Levelland and One Earth were a higher proportion of pre-tax loss in fiscal year 2009 compared to the pre-tax income for fiscal year 2010. In addition, the provision for uncertain tax positions reduced the tax benefit recognized during fiscal year 2009.
          As a result of the foregoing, income from continuing operations including noncontrolling interests was ~~$4.9~~$0.3 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 versus a loss of ~~$1.7~~$0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Income from continuing operations including noncontrolling interests was $5.2 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 versus a loss of $2.5 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2009.
          During fiscal year 2009, we closed our remaining retail store and warehouse operations and reclassified all retail related results as discontinued operations. As a result of these closings and certain other retail store and real estate property closings from prior years, we had income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of ~~$0.7~~approximately $0.8 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to ~~a loss of $0.5~~$1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We had income from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit, of approximately $1.5 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The improvement toin profitability in the current year six months results from the recognition of deferred income on our extended service plans and that there were no unprofitable retail operations in the current year since we exited the retail business during fiscal year 2009. ~~One property~~Going forward, we expect current year results to be lower than historical results as our extended warranty policies continue to expire, thus reducing the related recognition of deferred income.

Noncontrolling interests of Levelland Hockley and One Earth was $0.5 million and $(1.9) million, respectively during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
          As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to REX common shareholders ~~was $4.2 million~~ for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2010 ~~compared~~was $1.2 million, an increase of $0.4 million from $0.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Net income attributable to aREX common shareholders for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $5.4 million, an increase of $6.3 million from net loss of ~~$1.7~~$0.9 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009.

Business Segment Results
          During fiscal year 2009, we realigned our reportable business segments to be consistent with changes to our management structure and reporting. We have two segments: alternative energy and real estate. The real estate segment was formerly included in the retail segment. For former retail stores and warehouses closed which we have a retained interest in the related real estate, operations are currently presented in the real estate segment based upon when retail operations ceased. Historical results from retail store operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

          The following sections discuss the results of operations for each of our business segments and corporate and other. As discussed in Note 17, our chief operating decision maker (as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”) evaluates the operating performance of our business segments using a measure we call segment profit. Segment profit includes gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. Segment profit excludes income taxes, indirect interest expense, discontinued operations, indirect interest income and certain other items that are included in net income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management believes these are useful financial measures; however, they should not be construed as being more important than other comparable GAAP measures.
          Items excluded from segment profit generally result from decisions made by corporate executives. Financing, divestiture and tax structure decisions are generally made by corporate executives. Excluding these items from our business segment performance measure enables us to evaluate business segment operating performance based upon current economic conditions.

          The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, sales and profits by segment (amounts in thousands):

Segment Results – Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009
          Net sales and revenue increased ~~$56.9~~$48.0 million to ~~$71.0~~$64.8 million primarily as a result of One Earth becoming fully operational during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The average selling price per gallon of ethanol ~~increased~~declined slightly from the prior year level of $1.62 to ~~$1.73~~$1.56 in the current ~~year from $1.55 in the prior~~ year. Our sales were based upon ~~34.5~~34.4 million gallons of ethanol in the current year compared to ~~6.7~~8.2 million gallons of ethanol in the prior year. The average selling price per ton of dried distiller grains declined from the prior year level of $159.00 to $113.47 in the current year. Our sales were based upon 81,600 tons of dried distiller grains in the current year compared to 9,900 tons of dried distiller grains in the prior year. We expect that net sales and revenue in future periods will be based upon annual production of approximately 130 million to 140 million gallons of ethanol and approximately 300,000 tons to 330,000 tons of dried distiller grains per year. This expectation assumes that One Earth and Levelland will continue to operate at or near nameplate capacity, which is dependent upon the crush spread realized at each respective plant.
          Gross profit from these sales was approximately ~~$8.5~~$5.3 million during the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ compared to ~~$0.2~~$1.2 million during the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year. Gross profit improved primarily as a result of One Earth ~~beginning operations~~becoming fully operational subsequent to the second quarter of the prior year and the corresponding increase in production volume realized in fiscal year ~~2009~~2010. Given the inherent volatility in ethanol and grain prices, we cannot predict the trend of the spread between ethanol and grain prices in future periods compared to historical periods.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.1 million in the current year, consistent with the prior year.
          Interest expense increased $0.5 million in the current year over the prior year to $1.3 million, as we no longer capitalize interest on the One Earth credit facility subsequent to the commencement of operations at the plant. In addition, One Earth borrowed approximately $49.0 million during fiscal year 2009 as it completed construction of its ethanol plant; the

resulting higher outstanding debt amount also contributed to the increase in interest expense. Based on current interest rates, we expect interest expense in future quarters to be consistent with the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2010 amounts based on current debt levels.
          Income from equity method investments in Big River and Patriot increased from $0.2 million in the prior year to $1.1 million in the current year. We recognized $0.6 million of income from Big River in the current year compared to $0.1 million in the prior year. We recognized $0.5 million of income from Patriot in the current year compared to $0.1 million in the prior year. The improvement in Big River’s and Patriot’s profitability over the prior year levels is primarily a result of improved crush spreads. In addition, Big River benefitted from two of its plants being in operation during the current year which were not in operation during the prior year. Given the inherent volatility in the factors that affect the crush spread, we cannot predict the likelihood that the trend with respect to income from equity method investments will continue in future periods.
          Losses on derivative financial instruments held by One Earth and Levelland were $1.9 million in the current year compared to $0.1 million in the prior year driven by declining interest rates. Since the gains or losses on these derivative financial instruments are primarily a function of the movement in interest rates, we cannot predict the likelihood that such gains or losses in future periods will be consistent with current year results.
          As a result of the factors discussed above, segment profit increased to $2.2 million in the current year compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the prior year.
Segment Results – Six Months July 31, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended July 31, 2009
          Net sales and revenue in the current year increased $104.9 million, compared to the prior year, to $135.8 million primarily a result of One Earth becoming fully operational during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The average selling price per gallon of ethanol increased to $1.64 in the current year from $1.59 in the prior year. Our sales were based upon 68.9 million gallons of ethanol in the current year compared to 15.0 million gallons of ethanol in the prior year. The average selling price per ton of dried distiller grains declined from the prior year level of $160.00 to $116.50 in the current year. Our sales were based upon 159,000 tons of dried distiller grains in the current year compared to 20,600 tons of dried distiller grains in the prior year. We expect that net sales and revenue in future periods will be based upon annual production of approximately 130 million to 140 million gallons of ethanol and approximately 300,000 tons to 330,000 tons of dried distiller grains per year. This expectation assumes that One Earth and Levelland will continue to operate at or near nameplate capacity, which is dependent upon the crush spread realized at each respective plant.
          Gross profit from these sales was approximately $13.8 million during the current year compared to $1.4 million during the prior year. Gross profit improved primarily as a result of One Earth becoming fully operational subsequent to the second quarter and the corresponding increase in production volume realized in fiscal year 2010. Given the inherent volatility in ethanol

and grain prices, we cannot predict the likelihood that the spread between ethanol and

grain prices and the resulting gross profit in future periods will remain favorable or consistent compared to historical periods.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately ~~$1.3~~$2.4 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year, ~~2010,~~ a ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million increase from ~~$0.7~~$1.7 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Executive~~prior year. Incentive compensation was the primary reason for the increase as this expense was approximately ~~$0.3~~$0.6 million higher compared to the prior year, as profitability from this segment during the current year exceeded the prior year loss. In addition, depreciation expense was approximately $0.2 million higher than the prior year, primarily related to One Earth commencing ~~productions~~production operations subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
          Interest expense increased ~~$0.6~~$1.2 million in the current year over the prior year to ~~$1.3~~$2.6 million, as we no longer capitalize interest on the One Earth credit facility subsequent to the commencement of operations at the plant. In addition, One Earth borrowed approximately $49.0 million during fiscal year 2009 as it completed construction of its ethanol plant; the resulting higher outstanding debt amount also contributed to the increase in interest expense. Based on current interest rates, we expect interest expense in future quarters to be consistent with the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 ~~levels~~ based on current debt levels.
          Income from equity method investments in Big River and Patriot increased from a loss of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million in the prior year to ~~$2.8~~$3.9 million of income in the current year. We recognized ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million of income from Big River in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ compared to ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year. We recognized ~~$1.5~~$2.0 million of income from Patriot in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ compared to a loss of ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year. The improvement in Big River’s and Patriot’s profitability over the prior year levels is primarily a result of improved crush spreads. In addition, Big River benefitted from two of its plants being in operation during the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ which were not in operation during the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year. Given the inherent volatility in the factors that affect the crush spread, we cannot predict the likelihood that the trend with respect to income from equity method investments will continue in future periods.
          Losses on derivative financial instruments held by One Earth and Levelland were ~~$0.2~~$2.0 million in the current year compared to ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million in the prior year. Since the gains or losses on these derivative financial instruments are primarily a function of the movement in interest rates, we cannot predict the likelihood that such gains or losses in future periods will be consistent with current year results.
          As a result of the factors discussed above, segment profit increased to ~~$8.6~~$10.7 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ compared to a loss of ~~$2.0~~$2.4 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year.

Real Estate
          The real estate segment includes all owned and sub-leased real estate including those previously used as retail store and distribution center operations, our real estate sales and leasing activities and certain administrative expenses. It excludes results from discontinued operations.
          At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, we have lease or sub-lease agreements, as landlord, for all or parts of 1012 former retail stores ~~(108,000~~(136,000 square feet leased and ~~35,000~~32,000 square feet vacant). We own ~~nine~~11 of these

properties and are the tenant/sub landlord for one of the properties. We have 3026 owned former retail stores ~~(374,000~~(322,000 square feet), and one former distribution center (180,000 square feet), that are vacant at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010. We are marketing these vacant properties for lease or sale. In addition, one former distribution center is partially leased (156,000 square feet), partially occupied by our corporate office personnel (10,000 square feet) and partially vacant (300,000 square feet).
Segment Results – Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009
          Net sales and revenue ~~increased in~~of $329,000 were consistent with the ~~first quarter~~prior year amount of fiscal year 2010 to $269,000 from $130,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. This increase is primarily the result of a lease we entered into for a portion of one of our distribution centers which began during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.$324,000. We expect lease revenue for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 to be consistent with the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 based upon leases currently executed.
          Gross loss in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ was ~~$0.4 million~~$673,000 compared to ~~gross profit of $0.1 million~~$20,000 in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Gross profit declined~~prior year. The increase in gross loss compared to the prior year asis primarily a result of ~~expenses~~impairment charges of approximately $440,000 related to two locations. Expenses associated with vacant ~~properties. A majority of these~~ properties, which were being used in our retail segment during the first quarter of fiscal year ~~2009.~~2009 also contributed to the increase in gross loss. We expect gross loss for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 to be consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 based upon leases currently executed. If we are successful in our marketing efforts related to vacant properties, we would expect gross profit (loss) to improve over the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 results.
          As a result of the factors discussed above, segment loss ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$428,000~~$716,000 in the current year from $87,000 in the prior year.
Segment Results – Six Months July 31, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended July 31, 2009
          Net sales and revenue increased in the current year to $597,000 from $454,000 in the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of a lease we entered into for a portion of one of our distribution centers which began during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. We expect lease revenue for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 to be consistent with the first six months of fiscal year 2010 based upon leases currently executed.
          Gross loss in the current year was $1.0 million compared to gross profit of $0.1 million in the prior year. Gross profit declined compared to the prior year as a result of expenses associated with vacant properties and impairment charges. A majority of the vacant properties were being used in our retail segment during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Impairment charges were $440,000 in fiscal year 2010 and related to two properties. We expect gross loss for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 to be consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 ~~from segment~~based upon leases currently executed. If we are successful in our marketing efforts related to vacant properties, we would expect gross profit ~~of $29,000 in~~(loss) to improve over the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year ~~2009.~~2010 results.
          As a result of the factors discussed above, segment loss increased to $1,146,000 in the current year 2010 from $51,000 in the prior year.

Corporate and Other
          Corporate and other includes certain administrative expenses of the corporate headquarters, interest expense and investment income not directly allocated to the alternative energy or real estate segments.
Corporate and Other Results – Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009
          Selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~$0.8~~$0.7 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal~~current year ~~2010~~ compared to $0.5 million in the ~~first quarter of fiscal year 2009.~~prior year. Professional fees and insurance were the categories primarily responsible for the increase in expenses.

          Interest income ~~was $0.1~~and interest expense were consistent with the prior year amounts.
Corporate and Other Results – Six Months Ended July 31, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended July 31, 2009
          Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.5 million ~~in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decline generally results from lower yields~~

~~earned on our excess cash~~ in the current year compared to $0.9 million in the prior year. ~~The lower yields are a result~~Professional fees and insurance were the categories primarily responsible for the increase in expenses.

          Interest income and ~~not a result of a shift to investments~~interest expense were consistent with ~~less risk.~~the prior year amounts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
          Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately ~~$13.8~~$16.0 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010, compared to ~~$10.4~~cash used of $3.8 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009. For the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2010, cash was provided by net income of ~~$5.6~~$6.7 million, adjusted for non-cash items of ~~$0.2~~$1.5 million, which consisted of depreciation and amortization, income from equity method investments, deferred income, ~~and~~losses on derivative financial instruments, the deferred income tax ~~provision.~~provision and other items.

In addition, ~~refundable income taxes~~prepaid expense and other current and long term assets provided cash of ~~$6.6~~$7.4 million, primarily a result of federal tax refunds received. Accounts receivable and inventory provided cash of ~~$1.6~~$0.2 million and ~~$1.3~~$2.3 million, respectively, a result of normal variations in production and sales levels. The primary use of cash was a decrease in other liabilities of $2.2 million which is the result of paying certain real estate taxes and a decrease in accounts payable of ~~$1.3~~$0.9 million which is a result of the timing of vendor payments and inventory receipts.
          Net cash ~~provided by~~used in operating activities was approximately ~~$10.4~~$3.8 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009.

The primary use of cash was a decrease in accounts payable of ~~$2.3~~$12.3 million as we ~~reduced~~finalized several outstanding retail vendor accounts associated with the wind down of our ~~merchandise vendor balances~~retail business. Other liabilities decreased $1.0 million as we paid certain payroll and other accrued expenses, such as restructuring reserves, in connection with the wind down of our retail business. Accounts receivable provided $1.9 million of cash, primarily a result of the timing of cash receipts and customer billings at Levelland Hockley. Refundable income taxes used cash of $1.0 million as we had an increase in the balance of refundable income taxes due to the operating losses incurred in fiscal year 2008.
          At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010, working capital was ~~$94.9~~$84.9 million compared to $101.2 million at January 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily a result of repayments of long term ~~debt.~~debt and our purchase of a minority interest in NuGen. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was ~~3.7~~3.4 to 1 at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2010 and 3.6 to 1 at January 31, 2010.
          Cash of ~~$0.1~~$7.2 million was used in investing activities for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010, compared to ~~$22.6~~$32.0 million of cash used during the first six months of fiscal year 2009. We acquired a 48% interest in NuGen during the second quarter of fiscal year ~~2009.~~2010, which used $9.2 million of cash. During the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010, we had capital expenditures of approximately ~~$0.6~~$0.9 million, primarily related to improvements at the Levelland Hockley ethanol plant and certain real estate properties. We received approximately ~~$0.5~~$0.9 million from Patriot as repayments on their promissory ~~note.~~note and received $1.5 million from proceeds of sales of real estate and property and equipment.
          Cash of ~~$22.6~~$32.0 million was used in investing activities for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009. During the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009, we received proceeds of $1.0 million from the sale of real estate and property and equipment. We had capital expenditures of approximately ~~$21.6~~$31.9 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2009, primarily related to construction at the One Earth ethanol plant. We ~~paid~~

deposited approximately $1.0 million into a restricted account as collateral for a letter of credit on behalf of Levelland Hockley to secure grain purchasing.
          Cash used in financing activities totaled approximately ~~$12.6~~$19.6 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to cash provided of ~~$6.1~~$27.9 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009. Cash was used by debt payments of ~~$13.4~~$17.7 million, primarily on Levelland Hockley’s and One Earth’s term loans. Stock option activity generated cash of ~~$0.8~~$1.4 million. In addition, cash of $3.3 million was used to repurchase approximately 187,000 shares of our common stock.
          As of July 31, 2010, we had approximately 293,000 authorized shares remaining available for purchase under the stock buy-back program.
          Cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately ~~$6.1~~$27.9 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal year 2009. Cash of approximately $10.8 million was used to repay debt and capital lease obligations. Cash was provided by debt borrowings of ~~$15.3~~$41.2 million on One Earth’s construction ~~loans at ethanol facilities~~loan and stock option activity of ~~$0.6~~$0.8 million. Cash of ~~$8.7~~approximately $2.5 million was ~~used for payments of mortgage debt. In addition, cash of $1.2 million was~~also used to ~~repurchase~~acquire 281,000 shares of our common ~~shares.~~stock.
          One Earth will be constructing additional grain storage silos at its ethanol plant, expected to cost approximately $5 million.

          We expect that our primary sources of cash for the remainder of the year will be cash generated by operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand. We expect that our ethanol plants’ uses of cash for the remainder of the year will include repayments of debt and related interest, capital expenditures and to fund working capital requirements. We plan to seek and evaluate various investment opportunities at the parent company level. We can make no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to find such opportunities.
          We believe we have sufficient working capital and credit availability to fund our commitments and to maintain our operations at their current levels for the next twelve months and foreseeable future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
          We ~~plan~~do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to ~~seek and evaluate various investment opportunities.

Forward-Looking Statements
          This Form 10-Q contains or may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned that there are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include among other things: the impact of legislative changes, the price volatility and availability of corn, sorghum, distiller grains, ethanol, gasoline and natural gas, ethanol plants operating efficiently and according to forecasts and projections, changes in the national or regional economies, weather, the effects of terrorism or acts of war and changes in real estate market conditions. The Company does not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 (File No. 001-09097).
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          Levelland Hockley entered into a forward interest rate swap in the notional amount of $43.7 million during fiscal year 2007. The swap fixed the variable interest rate of the term loan at 7.89%. The swap matured on April 30,No material changes since January 31, 2010. ~~Thus, approximately $36.1 million of term debt~~

~~is no longer effectively fixed rate debt. Any increases in LIBOR will increase the Company’s interest expense.~~
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
          Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
          There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
