Item 5.02

Departure of Directors of Principal Officers; Election of Directors;

Appointment of Principal Officers


On April 10, 2007, Brian L. Larson, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, gave written notice that he is resigning from his position as CFO and as an employee of the Company, effective June 8, 2007. Brian is leaving as a result of accepting another employment offer outside of the ethanol sector. We want to thank Brian for his contribution to the Company. He began commuting to our Las Vegas office as a consultant and then commuting to our Shenandoah office.  Brian has been a great resource in our start-up phase. He has helped us lay the foundation for our accounting systems, internal controls and financial reporting. We are now actively searching for a new CFO.
