Information As Of November 8, 2006

'Ethanol is receiving major attention and investment from business visionaries. Microsoft's Bill Gates has made an $84 million investment in Pacific Ethanol, a pure play on ethanol production, through an investment company called Cascade Investment. Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group and worth an estimated $3 billion, has plans to invest $300 to $400 million to produce and market this promising alternative fuel. He has been quoted as saying, "This is the win-win fuel of the future."'


Overview

Southridge Enterprises is a renewable energy company with a mission to become the ethanol producer of choice in the southeastern region of the United States. The Company is focusing its efforts in an area which offers abundant supplies of corn, superior transportation infrastructure and expedited permitting processes.

Southridge Ethanol Inc. is currently developing two Ethanol facilities with up to 60 million gallons of annual production capacity to address America's growing renewable and high-octane fuel requirements. Ethanol reduces dependence on foreign energy sources in an environmentally responsible manner.


Investment Highlights

  • Southridge is actively acquiring and developing ethanol production facilities in Mississippi with a planned capacity of 60 million gallons per year. Production start of the first phase is expected in June, 2007.
  • By the end of this year GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler AG will have 6 million flex fuel vehicles on the road. These vehicles are capable of running on gasoline or 85% ethanol, 15%gasoline fuel.
  • New data from the polling firm Public Opinion Strategies shows 78% of Americans support increasing the use of ethanol and two-thirds of Americans support the increased use of biofuels in general. Additional results show 91% feel the country is facing an energy crisis and 53% believe we should diversify our energy supply by utilizing alternative energy sources like ethanol.
  • As an alternative fuel or a fuel additive, ethanol has many advantages. It is made from renewable resources, reduces air pollution, creates jobs and markets for farmers, lowers gas prices, reduces the need to import oil, and its production creates useful, saleable byproducts.
  • Ethanol is receiving major attention and investment from business visionaries. Microsoft's Bill Gates has made an $84 million investment in Pacific Ethanol, a pure play on ethanol production, through an investment company called Cascade Investment. Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group and worth an estimated $3 billion, has plans to invest $300 to $400 million to produce and market this promising alternative fuel. He has been quoted as saying, "This is the win-win fuel of the future."
  • During 2004, the US use of E10 ethanol-blended fuel reduced carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions by more than 7 million tons compared with pure gasoline, according to the Renewable Fuels Association.
  • The company’s recent $10 million funding should provide a significant leg up on achieving its near term objectives including the rapid start up of production.
  • Southridge has selected Agri-Systems, a leading US ethanol consulting and engineering firm, to provide engineering services to the company as it builds its ethanol production capacity in Mississippi.
  • The company will utilize breakthrough production technology and efficient energy systems to lower operating costs and maximize efficiency in corn-to-ethanol conversion.
  • Ethanol can help the US free itself from dependance on foreign oil. Brazil has already accomplished it. 70% of the vehicles in Brazil run on ethanol, successfully replacing imported oil worth an estimated $120 billion. To put it into perspective, this would translate to a savings of about $2 trillion for an economy equivalent in size to rhe US.
  • The company is committed to establishing open communications with investors. It retained Stockwire Research Group, Inc. and Catalyst Investor Relations to communicate its unique value proposition and opportunity for growth to the international investment community.
  • Southridge is striving to become the fastest growing ethanol producer in the southern US.
     

 

 

Profile

A significant convergence of factors is driving dramatic growth in the renewable energy market, where global revenues are expected to rise four-fold from $40 billion in 2005 to $167 billion by 2015. High crude oil and gasoline prices, a finite supply of fossil fuels, concerns over greenhouse gas emissions, instability in the Middle East, desire for energy independence, regulatory mandates and bi-partisan political support for clean energy are sparking major demand for cleaner, domestically produced, renewable fuels. This convergence is revving the market for ethanol, the clean-burning, high-octane vehicle fuel and fuel additive produced primarily from corn.

Southridge Enterprises, Inc. is a renewable energy company focused on the production and sale of ethanol and ethanol co-products. Southridge plans to have its first ethanol plant fully operational and producing by June 15, 2007. The company has executed an option to purchase an ethanol plant and related equipment for its newly acquired industrial plant facility in Mississippi, where it expects to establish production of 60 million gallons of ethanol per year. Building a new plant with this capacity would take more than 18 months and cost tens of millions of dollars. By assembling a turn-key plant on a production-ready facility with excellent transportation and supply logistics Southridge will be able to save millions in construction costs and quickly ramp production.

Southridge is working to become the ethanol producer of choice in the southern US, carving out a significant share of this burgeoning industry. The global market for biofuels including ethanol and biodiesel grew more than 15% in 2005, reaching $15.7 billion (Clean-Energy Trends 2006, CleanEdge). Ethanol is widely used today as a fuel additive to reduce emissions and improve combustibility. All cars built since the 1970s are fully compatible with up to 10% ethanol in the mixture, called E10. Americans burned approximately 140 billion gallons of gasoline in 2005. Last summer’s Energy Policy Act requires gasoline producers to nearly double the use of renewable fuels—chiefly ethanol—by 2012. Mandated use will rise to 7.5 billion gallons by 2012, from 4 billion gallons in 2006.

Dedicated to meeting this rising demand and bolstered by a motivated management team with proven energy industry experience, ample funding, leading edge production facilities, and a clear strategy for growth and expansion, Southridge Enterprises is primed for major revenue generation and increased value for shareholders.


Products and Services

Ethanol
The company's ethanol will be produced by fermenting a corn/water mash. The ethanol is separated, distilled, dehydrated, and blended with gasoline as a denaturant. All of the ethanol produced by Southridge will be sold as a fuel additive to improve the air quality characteristics of gasoline. As an alternative fuel or a fuel additive, ethanol has many advantages. It is made from renewable resources; it reduces air pollution; it provides an outlet for American farmers to sell their crops; and, in the company's case, even byproducts of the ethanol production process are turned into useful, saleable products.

Dried Distillers Grains
Distillers Grain is an important co-product of drymill ethanol production. The drymill ethanol production process uses only the starch portion of the corn, which is about 70% of the kernel. All the remaining nutrients – protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins – are concentrated into distillers grain, a valuable feed for livestock. A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds and will produce at least 2.8 gallons of ethanol and 17 pounds of distillers grain.

CO2
Carbon dioxide is another product of the fermentation process that turns starch or cellulose into ethanol. Most ethanol producers simply vent their CO2 into the air, but Southridge Ethanol has chosen instead to capture the CO2 from their production process and sell it for use in the food and beverage industry. This is better for the environment and is another example of Southridge Ethanol's commitment to avoiding waste.

 

 


Rising Market Demand for Ethanol

According to Clean Edge research, biofuels (global manufacturing and wholesale pricing of ethanol and biodiesel) will grow from $15.7 billion in 2005 to $52.5 billion by 2015.
 

Ethanol fuel is clean-burning, biodegradable and completely renewable. 10% ethanol-enriched fuel (E10) reduces carbon monoxide better than any other gasoline, by as much as 30%. This year the US ethanol industry is expected to grow to provide more than 5 billion gallons of clean burning, renewable fuel to the US supply.

In the US, clean energy has become a politically unifying issue with wide support from those of every political stripe, from traditional liberals to current and former military brass. This bipartisanship has been particularly evident at the state level, where nearly twenty states now have renewable portfolio standards (RPS) that mandate a percentage (often up to 20-25%) of electricity coming from clean energy. States like California, Hawaii, New York, and Pennsylvania are embarking on aggressive clean energy programs.

The trend is expected to continue as states view clean energy as an opportunity to address air pollution, public health problems, greenhouse gases, and grid congestion and a way for states to become known as centers for clean technology development, with all the new jobs and businesses that can result.

All cars built since the 1970s are fully compatible with up to 10% ethanol in the mixture. Every major automaker in the world approves the use of E10 Unleaded in their vehicles

Ethanol is mixed with unleaded gasoline to boost its octane rating and reduce emissions. The most common blends are E10 (10% ethanol/90% gasoline) approved for any make or model sold in the US, or E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline), used in specially made flexible fuel vehicles. These vehicles are truly “flexible” in that their owners have a choice whether to use E85, any blend of ethanol up to that 85% level, or straight unleaded gasoline.

There are approximately 5 million vehicles in the US that can run on E85, which is the cleanest-burning, renewable fuel available today. Currently it has a limited distribution but is often 20 cents cheaper than regular gasoline.

By the end of this year GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler AG will have 6 million flex fuel vehicles on the road. These vehicles are capable of running on gasoline or 85% ethanol, 15%gasoline fuel.
