Having been with Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. for one year, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you news about our Company. As an executive in the alternative energy industry for over 20 years, I have never seen such an outstanding opportunity for the growth of a company and an industry. As a renewable energy company focused on the production of Jatropha, a non-food based feedstock used for the production of biofuels, we are in the perfect space at the perfect time. Over this year we have seen volatile energy prices reach an all time high and oil reserves sink to an all time low. The debate over converting food into fuel continues and our philosophy of using non-food based sources for biofuels is supported by economists, environmentalists, and politicians worldwide. The US political arena is ripe with ideas on solving the oil crisis, and both sides of the aisle agree that biofuels will be a key component to long term success in reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

This has been a busy and productive year for the Company. We have been hard at work changing the focus of the Company and repositioning it for growth in the alternative fuels space. The industry is very excited about our direction and we field calls almost daily requesting a supply of Jatropha oil into the market. We believe that this demand for our products provides an enormous opportunity for our growth.

Over the last year we have completed the acquisition of Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC, renamed the Company, added new executive and management staff, attracted new investors, entered into key strategic partnerships both domestically and internationally, added valuable members to our Board of Directors, continued the development of our plant research facility, acquired land for farming Jatropha, and commenced commercial scale Jatropha planting in Mexico.

Today we are the owners of a 5,000 acre Jatropha energy farm in Mexico where we are busy preparing land and planting Jatropha almost every day. We have recently received delivery of custom designed equipment which will allow us to expedite the land preparation and planting process. We are targeting the end of this calendar year to have the 5,000 acres substantially planted. This keeps us on track to commence generating revenue from our Jatropha production in FY 2009. We have identified 45,000 additional acres for acquisition in Mexico suitable for energy farm development. Pending the receipt of project financing, we hope to complete this land acquisition by the end of the 4^th quarter of this year and anticipate commencing the development of these new energy farms within the first quarter.

While we have made significant progress during this past year in developing our alternative energy business, we have, unfortunately, not been able to sell our legacy biopharmaceutical assets. We continue to work on the sale of biopharmaceutical assets and are having discussions with a number of companies to buy our technology and patents. We hope to have news regarding these assets for our shareholders shortly. As you may know, we had a signed agreement to sell these assets last year, but the buyer was unable to complete the purchase after it’s financing fell through in the tight credit market. This is a very technical asset and the sales process can be long. We appreciate your patience. We are keenly aware of the importance of selling these assets so we can deploy the resources in our ongoing business.

The failure to close on the sale of our biopharmaceutical assets as scheduled has negatively affected our financial condition and has slowed the expansion of the development of our additional Jatropha operations. In order to remedy this situation, we have been working with an advisor specializing in oncology medical patents to assist us with the sale of our legacy biopharmaceutical assets. Additionally, we are working with financial advisors to raise additional capital. Our strategy is to obtain project financing and alternative sources of funding that are the least dilutive to our shareholders, such as forward selling off-take agreements for our products. We are in negotiations with a number of credit-worthy companies for long term forward off-take agreements.

Following the test shipment of Crude Jatropha Oil earlier this year to Allegro Biodiesel for conversion into biodiesel, we submitted the converted biodiesel for ASTM testing and received very favorable results. The quality of our feedstock oil is very high, which proves we can readily make ASTM specification biodiesel from Jatropha Oil. Since then, we have shipped more test quantities of Crude Jatropha Oil to another US based biodiesel refiner, who also tested it with similar results, validating our first tests.

We are very excited about the recent announcement by Air New Zealand that it is testing jet fuels produced from Jatropha Oil feedstock. We have had discussions with other refiners who have the capacity to convert our Jatropha Oil to jet fuel for the struggling airline market and we are having on-going discussions with distributors of jet fuel to supply refined oil directly into this market.. These efforts confirm our belief that we can develop our products and co-products and move them higher in the value chain, including Jatropha Oil, biomass and carbon offset credits.
