NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

(B) Organization

Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc (a development stage company) (“UBNA”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 23, 2007.

Universal Bioenergy, Inc. (UB) f/k/a Palomine Mining, Inc. was incorporated on August 13, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

UBNA was organized to operate and produce Biodiesel fuel using primarily soybean and other vegetable oil and grease in a refining process to yield Biodiesel fuel and a marketable byproduct of glycerin. The Company is located in Nettleton, Mississippi. UBNA and UB are hereafter referred to as “(the Company)”.

In October 2007, UBNA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with UB. In October 2007, UB, a then shell corporation, merged with UBNA and UBNA became the surviving corporation. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of UBNA. UB did not have any operations and majority-voting control was transferred to UBNA. Since UBNA acquired a controlling voting interest, it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while UB was deemed the legal acquirer. The historical financial statements of the Company are those of UBNA, and of the consolidated entities from the date of Merger and subsequent. Since the transaction is considered a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, the guidance in SFAS No. 141 does not apply for purposes of presenting pro-forma financial information.

On October 24, 2007, the Company changed its name to Universal Bioenergy, Inc. to better reflect its business plan.

(C) Principles of Consolidation

The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UB and its wholly-owned subsidiary UBNA. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(D) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(E) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions which have original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

(F) Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 91,371 and 0 common share equivalents outstanding, respectively, which are anti-dilutive and not included in dilutive weighted average calculation.

(G) Derivative Liabilities

Convertible debt is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock, (“EITF 00-19”). According to these pronouncements, we have recorded the embedded conversion option related to our convertible debt at fair value on the reporting date, resulting in the convertible instrument itself being recorded at a discount from the face amount.

(H) Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Biodiesel fuel and related byproducts at the time title to the products transfers, the amount is fixed and determinable, evidence of an agreement exists and the customer bears the risk of loss, net of provisions for rebates and sales allowances.

(I) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

(J) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(K) Property and Equipment

The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. The Company uses useful lives for assets ranging from five years (computer equipment and office furniture) to fifteen years (plant equipment).

(L) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

(M) Advertising and Promotional Expense

Advertising and other product-related costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 advertising expense was $50,414, and $0, respectively.

(N) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

NOTE 4

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

For the following convertible notes, pursuant to EITF No.’s 98-5 and 00-27, the Company first reviewed and determined that no beneficial conversion feature existed. The Company then evaluated the convertible notes to determine if there was an embedded conversion option requiring bifurcation under SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19. We determined that fair value accounting for an embedded conversion option was required and that a derivative liability would be recorded. The fair value of the conversion option is initially computed at its issuance date, then on subsequent reporting periods, marked-to-market. The change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations. Upon conversion of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

On March 18, 2008, the Company issued a $43,556 unsecured convertible note payable to Mortensen Financial Limited, a related party. The note is convertible at the option of the holder by taking the average bid price of the common stock for the five day period preceding the conversion and multiplying by 75%. The interest rate is 6.5% per annum. The note requires payments of accrued interest and principal by October 31, 2010. On October 31, 2008 all accrued interest must be paid. Beginning April 30, 2009 and semiannually thereafter through October 31, 2010, the Company is to pay $10,889 in semiannual installments. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $99.

The initial fair value of the embedded conversion option was $29,387; this amount is recorded as a debt discount which is amortized over the life of the underlying convertible debt instrument. At March 31, 2008, we recognized interest expense of $399. At March 31, 2008, upon remeasurement, the derivative liability had a fair value of $29,280. The resulting change in fair value of $107 was recorded as a reduction in the derivative liability during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

The following weighted average assumptions were used on the initial date of issuance and the remeasurement date of March 18, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively:

Exercise price	$3.76 and $3.76
Expected dividend yield	0% and 0%
Expected volatility	66% and 66%
Risk free interest rate	1.74% and 1.79%
Expected life of conversion option	2.62 and 2.59 years
Expected forfeitures	0% and 0%

During October 2007, the Company issued a $300,000 unsecured convertible note payable to Mortensen Financial Limited, a related party. The note is convertible at the option of the holder by taking the average bid price of the common stock for the five day period preceding the conversion and multiplying by 75%. The interest rate is 6.5% per annum. The note requires payments of accrued interest and principal by October 31, 2010. On April 30, 2008 and October 31, 2008 all accrued interest must be paid.

NOTE 7

GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with limited resources, used cash in operations of $805,532 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $663,730 and has an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $921,803. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently taken to obtain additional funding and begin operations provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Overview

Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. is a start-up Nevada corporation formed on January 23, 2007 which was acquired by Universal Bioenergy, Inc. (together with its subsidiary, the “Company”) in December 2007, for the purpose of operating a biodiesel plant in Nettleton, Mississippi to produce biodiesel fuel and a marketable byproduct of glycerin. The biodiesel plant was acquired by Universal Bioenergy North America out of a bankruptcy action. We do not expect to generate any revenue until the plant is completely operational. As of the date of this report, we have not manufactured any biodiesel fuel.

Based upon estimates of management, the plant will be able to produce annually approximately 10 million, 20 million, and 50 million gallons of fuel grade biodiesel from soybean oil (or other suitable feedstock) per the first 12, 24, and 36 month periods respectively after the start of production pending successful raising of capital for feedstocks, reagents, and equipment expansion. Additionally, the plant will produce corresponding amounts (10% by biodiesel production volume) of marketable glycerin. As of the date of this report, we are still in the development phase and until the proposed biodiesel plant is operational, we will generate no revenue. We anticipate that accumulated losses will continue to increase until the biodiesel plant is operational.

The original expected production start date was slated for January 2008, but due to some difficulty in attainment of required permits from the State of Mississippi to commence operations, the plant did not begin production. In addition, we require certain raw materials including plant oils/animal fats, catalyst, and alcohol in order to commence production. As of the date of this report, we have not acquired any raw materials to engage in production. We are gathering information and negotiating pricing with vendors, but have not secured any agreements with providers of such raw materials.

Provisional permits from the State of Mississippi were received in May 2008, but start date of actual production can not be accurately predicted based on current economic environment in the marketplace. The provisional permits allow the processing of typical batch sizes to characterize the waste water emissions that will be produced. Testing of these emissions will determine the necessary pre-treatment (if any) required before disposal into local sewage system (subsequent to final connection to our system) or have the waste water transported to larger treatment facilities in a nearby city. With a formalized plan for handling the waste water, management feels confident that full permitting will be obtainable, but are not certain of the time it will take.

The high cost of virgin feedstock materials makes it unprofitable to use these as sole or primary feedstock choices. Alternative feedstock types are being investigated which are at a lower cost than the virgin feedstocks. If sufficient quantities can be located and favorable price including shipping negotiated, the process operation can produce revenues in excess of processing costs. Management anticipates that allocated funds from recently acquired debt from Mortensen Financial Limited, a shareholder and substantial debt holder of the Company, will be sufficient to acquire feedstocks, reagents, and manufacturing costs for approximately two batches (20-24,000 gallons each). The revenues from the sale of the fuel once the State approves the fuel can be then cycled to acquire additional feedstocks and reagents to continue a low volume processing level (significantly less than the 10 million gallons per year). As of the date of this report, the Company has no agreements to sell any of its products once production begins. Management anticipates that in order to reach sustainable profitability, a monthly volume in excess of 300,000 gallons will be required. Management believes in the next twelve months approximately $4,000,000 of working capital will be needed with the greatest portion allocated for feedstock and reagent costs including shipping with an estimated average cost of $3,000,000 barring extreme fluctuations in commodity prices; further equipment acquisitions, installation, and site modifications based on effluent emissions results and fuel quality estimated at $400,000; and normal operating overhead expenses of $600,000. This capital will bring production close to the 10 MGPY first-stage level. The Company can give no assurances as to the success of or the time it will take to raise the necessary capital; therefore, Universal may not be able to meet the first-stage production goal within the twelve month period slated or predict how long it will take to achieve the first-stage goal.

Over the past year and three months, the plant has undergone site improvement and development. General clean up and improvements of the site have taken place utilizing the debt financing previously obtained through LaCroix International and Mortensen Financial Limited, related parties.

An environmental order allowing provisional permitted production was received from the State of Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality in May 2008 to allow the Company to begin processing and scale-up phase of production to reach the nominal first-stage 10 million gallons per year (MGPY) goal subject to confirmation of effluent emissions. Pending confirmation of these effluent emissions (or appropriate treatments of emissions) from the State of Mississippi after production has started, the plant will work to increase production to the meet the first-stage goal over the subsequent twelve month period. During this early stage, Universal is planning to sell biodiesel products to the refinery's prior customer base, truck stops, and local distributors. The Company currently does not have any agreements to sell its biodiesel products.

Management anticipates that as production is scaled up to the 20 MGPY level and above, pending the raising of sufficient capital in subsequent months after the first-stage goal is reached, export to the European market is expected with the higher production volume as it is anticipated that this production volume will exceed the needs of the local/regional distribution area. Scale-up of the facility to the first-stage goal is subject to securing sufficient funding to cover capital expenditures and feedstock costs for this expansion of production capacity.

Expansion of the plant to increase production capacity to the second-stage goal of 20 MGPY using already acquired equipment and subsequent purchases and installation will require the successful raising of further capital through further stock offerings and additional debt if necessary. There is no certainty that this capital can be raised.

Reaching the 20 MGPY second-stage production level will require additional storage capacity of both pre and post processing materials and products and improvements to logistics on the site. Not all costs have been acquired to achieve this stage, however, Management estimates such cost to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000 but information and pricing regarding costs is still being acquired and may vary greatly from the state estimates. To reach the 50 MGPY third-stage production level will require further expansion of storage capacity and the building of a rail spur at the site, which in preliminary discussions with knowledgeable rail transportation personnel could cost as much as $1,000,000 for such a rail spur. With this in mind and in the present volatile economic environment, management is contemplating the need to move the plant to a location better suited logistically for the necessary movement of large volumes of materials and products in and out of the facility, making more possible the attainment of the higher production level goals. This likely will require the plant to be located near an active waterway or port to allow barge transport of materials and products. Costs for such a move have not been investigated to date.

Management further believes the Company's cash reserves will be insufficient to cover such costs for the next 12 months and may require restructuring its present debt. The Company is working with vendors to establish credit for feedstock materials and further plans to raise needed capital through the further sale of stock in the Company, revenue from sales of products, and if necessary through additional debt financing until sufficient production volume can be reached to cover operating costs and debt service. The raising of such capital through stock issuance, proceeds, or debt is uncertain at best due to the present volatility in the marketplace primarily in feedstock and transportation costs. Failure by the Company to raise the required capital will limit the overall production capacity of the site and the Company will not be able to sustain the losses incurred due to the limited production.

Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. is a developmental stage company and operating subsidiary of the Company. The Company has generated no revenues as Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. was not in production as of March 31, 2008 and will continue to accrue operating losses until sufficient production levels can be reached to meet all liabilities. Our operating expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2008, were $254,621, as compared to $76,542 for the comparable period in 2007 of the preceding year, the first quarter after the plant was acquired, an increase of 232% between these two periods. This reflects an increase of general expenses and capital expenditures due to the work needed to bring the plant to an operational state.

Overall, we sustained a net loss of $293,511for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a net loss of $100,814 in the corresponding period of the preceding year. Total losses incurred since the company's inception in January 23, 2007 are $921,803. We had six full-time employees as of March 31, 2008. If the Company obtains sufficient financing, it is expected that the number of employees will increase to by at least four over the next twelve month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, our current assets were $125,977, as compared to $311,253 at December 31, 2007. The reduction in assets is due to the increase in expenses particularly the increase in salaries by adding Dr. Craven as CEO and associated expenses per his employment, purchase of fixed assets, and increase in expenses in consulting costs to secure environmental permits and in costs associated with securing further operational debt. As of March 31, 2008, our current liabilities were $789,707, as compared to $709,231 at December 31, 2007. Cash spent on investing activities during the three months ending March 31, 2008 amounted to the purchase of fixed assets at a cost of $2,531.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

Property and Equipment

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2008, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $875,001 available to offset future taxable income through 2027.

Derivative Liabilities

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, with respect to any investment in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risk Factors Related to Our Finances

If We Fail To Raise Additional Financing We May Not Be Able To Fund Our Operations And Implement Our Business Plan. We require additional capital to support even minimal ongoing operations. Should the Company not be able to raise capital as required, the Company may need to cease operations entirely. Any additional financing may involve dilution to the Company's then-existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their annual report dated April 10, 2008, on the Company's Financial Statements stating that the audited financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and that financing uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We are working to identify potential investors and debt providers to sustain the company, but there is again no assurance that any acceptable financing will obtained.

The Company Has No Revenues Which Make It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results. As a result of having no sales or revenues, it is impossible to predict the Company's future performance or the period of time in which it can sustain its existence.

Risk Factors Related to Our Operations

As we have had no operating history as a producer of biodiesel, investors have no basis to evaluate our ability to operate profitably. The Company has a limited operating history as the company was formed in August 13, 2004 and its operating subsidiary, Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc., was formed in January 2007. The Company has not earned any revenues in our contemplated biodiesel business. Accordingly, it may be difficult for investors to evaluate its business prospects.

The Company’s business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan, including our ability to make agreements with suppliers, customers, and with respect to future investments. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will ultimately be successful or result in revenues or profits.

Moreover, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by an early-stage company and in rapidly evolving markets, such as other alternative energy and biofuels markets, where supply and demand may change significantly in a short amount of time. The volatility in these markets may lead to increases in costs for feedstock materials, reagents, and for transportation of same to a point where production will be wholly unprofitable once production has commenced if at all.

Some of these risks relate to the Company’s business plan and potential inability to:

	·	effectively manage our contemplated business operations;
	·	recruit and retain key personnel;
	·	successfully create and maintain relationships with vegetable oil producers and fat renderers and develop reliable feedstock and reagent supplies; and
	·	develop new products that complement our contemplated business and long term stability.

If we cannot successfully address these risks, our contemplated business and the results of our contemplated operations and financial position would suffer potentially to the point where the company may need to cease operations.

The loss of our Chief Executive Officer and/or President could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth. The Company is largely dependent upon its officers, Dr. Richard Craven and James E. Earnest, for management and direction. The Company does not maintain “key person” life insurance for Dr. Craven or Mr. Earnest. The loss of either Dr. Craven or Mr. Earnest could adversely affect the Company’s contemplated operations and results as the loss could cause a cessation of operations until qualified replacements can be found and/or a loss of expertise difficult to replace in a given time frame.

Our ability to successfully execute our business depends on certain conditions, the satisfaction of which, are not under our control. There is no certainty that we will be able to achieve satisfaction of any or these conditions. The Company’s ability to successfully execute our business plan depends on the satisfaction of several conditions. The Company’s ability to satisfy these conditions may be, in part or in whole, beyond our control. The principal conditions to be satisfied include:

	·	reaching definitive agreements for reliable feedstock supplies for biodiesel at prices that permit profitable production;
	·	entering into satisfactory agreements for the sale of biodiesel at prices that are competitive in the market and allow for sufficient revenues to sustain the business;

entering into satisfactory agreements for the expansion of the existing manufacturing facility which are tied closely to costs of said expansions and our ability to secure financing of these planned expansions;

Since the Company has yet to begin full operation as a business but is close to doing so pending successful acquisition of funding, there is no certainty that we will be able to achieve satisfaction of any or all of the above conditions in addition to production volume and costs control.

Petroleum diesel, vegetable oils, waste oils and animal fats, and other commodity prices are volatile, and changes in prices of such commodities could have in the future a material adverse impact on our business. The results of operations, financial position, and business outlook of the Company’s planned business are highly dependent on commodity prices, which are subject to significant volatility and uncertainty, and influence the availability of supplies especially for smaller producers. Accordingly, any results of our contemplated business could fluctuate substantially and even reach cost levels that could cause a cessation of operations.

Anticipated results are substantially dependent on commodity prices, especially prices for vegetable oils, waste oils, animal fats, and also petroleum diesel. The only help in this area is secure contracts at acceptable prices and terms for these materials, but no assurance is possible that such agreements can be obtained, especially without adequate funding.

As a result of the volatility of the prices for commodities, anticipated results may fluctuate substantially, and we may experience periods of declining prices for our products and increasing costs for our raw materials, which could result in operating losses or cessation of operations entirely.

The Company’s contemplated business is likely to be highly sensitive to feedstock and reagent prices, and generally we will be unable to pass on increases in these prices to our customers. The principal raw materials we expect to use to produce biodiesel are plant oil and/or animal fat feedstocks. As a result, changes in the price of feedstock can significantly affect our contemplated business. In general, rising feedstock prices produce lower profit margins. Because biodiesel competes with fossil-based fuels, the Company is not likely to be able to pass along increased feedstock costs to customers unless there are corresponding price increases in petroleum commodities. At certain levels, feedstock prices may make biodiesel uneconomical to use in fuel markets. Such lack of economy could have detrimental effects on our ability to maintain production.

Weather conditions and other factors affecting crop yields, farmer planting decisions, and general economic, market and regulatory factors all influence the price of feedstocks. Government policies and subsidies with respect to agriculture and international trade, and global and local demand and supply also impact the price. The significance and relative effects of these factors on the price of plant oils and other feedstocks are difficult to predict. Any event that tends to negatively affect the supply of feedstock, such as adverse weather or crop disease, could increase feedstock prices and potentially harm our business.

Fluctuations in the selling price and production cost of diesel may reduce the Company’s anticipated profit margins, if profits are achieved. Historically, the price of a gallon of petroleum diesel has been lower than the cost to produce a gallon of biodiesel. Biodiesel prices are influenced by the supply and demand for diesel, and our anticipated results of operations and financial position may be materially adversely affected if diesel demand or price decreases.

The Company’s anticipated business will be subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Company anticipated operating results are likely to be influenced by seasonal fluctuations in the price of our primary operating input, feedstocks, and the price of our primary product, biodiesel. Biodiesel prices are substantially correlated with the price of petroleum diesel, especially in connection with our indexed, gas-plus sales contracts. The price of petroleum diesel tends to rise during each summer and winter. Given our lack of operating history, we do not know yet how these seasonal fluctuations, especially the lows in spring and fall, will affect our results over time.

Growth in the sale and distribution of biodiesel is dependent on the changes to and expansion of related infrastructure which may not occur on a timely basis, if at all, and the Company’s contemplated operations could be adversely affected by infrastructure disruptions. Substantial development of infrastructure will be required by persons and entities outside the Company’s control for our contemplated operations, and the renewable fuel industry generally, to grow. Areas requiring expansion include, but are not limited to:

§	additional storage facilities for biodiesel;
§	expansion of refining and blending facilities to produce biodiesel and form blends with petroleum diesel; and
§	growth in service stations equipped to handle biodiesel fuels.

Substantial investments required for these infrastructure changes and expansions may not be made or they may not be made on a timely basis in time to benefit the Company. Any delay or failure in making the changes to or expansion of infrastructure could hurt the demand or prices for the Company’s contemplated products, impede delivery of those products, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of contemplated operations or financial position. The Company’s contemplated business will be highly dependent on the continuing availability of infrastructure, and any infrastructure disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not be able to compete effectively in the U.S. and foreign biodiesel industries. In the U.S., the Company’s contemplated business would compete with other existing biodiesel producers and refineries. A number of competitors are divisions of substantially larger enterprises and have substantially greater financial resources than the Company has or plans to have, making the larger suppliers more able to weather market volatility, whereas, our smaller size would not. These smaller competitors operate smaller facilities which do not affect the local price of soybeans grown in the proximity to the facility as much as larger facilities. In addition, institutional investors and high net worth individuals could heavily invest in biodiesel production facilities and oversupply the demand for biodiesel, resulting in lower biodiesel price levels that might adversely affect the results of the Company’s contemplated operations and financial position.

Any increase in domestic competition could result in reduced biodiesel prices. As a result, we could be forced to take other steps to compete effectively, if at all, which could adversely affect the results of our contemplated operations and financial position.

The U.S. renewable fuel industry is highly dependent upon federal and state legislation, regulation, and subsidies/incentives and any changes in legislation or regulation or subsidies/incentives could materially and adversely affect the results of the Company’s contemplated operations and financial position.

The cost of producing biodiesel is made significantly more competitive with petroleum diesel by federal tax incentives. The elimination or significant reduction in such federal tax incentives or other programs benefiting biodiesel may have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company’s contemplated operations and financial position. Smaller producers due to lack of bargaining ability and production economies of size are more susceptible to changes in these federal tax incentives.

We may be adversely affected by environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and liabilities. As we pursue our business plan, we will become subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and the health and safety of our employees. In addition, some of these laws and regulations require our suppliers and our contemplated distribution facilities to operate under permits that are subject to renewal or modification. These laws, regulations and permits can often require expensive pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws and regulations or permit conditions can have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not be able to secure the required zoning and permits to operate and produce biodiesel. Although the Company has been granted a provisional permit from the State of Mississippi, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the required zoning and permits to operate and commence production at the levels that are required in order to become profitable. This could significantly affect the Company’s ability to generate revenues and would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risk Factors Related to Our Stock

The Company's Common Stock May Be Affected by Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly, Which May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability To Sell Shares of Our Common Stock. Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. These factors may negatively impact shareholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock.

The Company’s common stock may be subject to “penny stock” rules which may be detrimental to investors: The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. The securities may become subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell the Common Stock offered hereby in the secondary market.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management, with participation by our CEO and CFO, has designed the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), in connection with filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report.

Based upon the evaluation conducted by management in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2008, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is “a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by us in a timely manner. As a result of this material weakness, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2008.

Management’s Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on the specified criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding 1) lack of segregation of duties; 2) lack of timely completion of financial control and reporting processes; and 3) need for stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

The ineffectiveness of internal controls as of March 31, 2008 stemmed in large part from several significant changes within the Company. The organization structure was changing as we hired additional management and were restructuring the company obtaining new financing, adopting new accounting procedures and discontinuing operations. This placed additional stress on the organization and our internal reporting and controls as financial personnel adjusted to the many changes instituted within the company. Although we believe the time to adapt in the first quarter has better positioned us to provide improved internal control functions into the future, during the transition, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in the aggregate resulted in a material weakness.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2008 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2008 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

We may in the future identify further material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that we have not discovered to date. We plan to refine our internal control over financial reporting to meet the internal control reporting requirements included in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404) to have effective internal controls by December 31, 2008. The effectiveness of the measures we implement in this regard will be subject to ongoing management review supported by confirmation and testing by management, as well as audit committee oversight. As a result, we expect that additional changes could be made to our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
