| Allegro Biodiesel Corporation produces and sells biodiesel fuel. In addition to the production of biodiesel fuel, we are actively pursuing a strategy of vertical integration - to expand into the marketing and distribution of diesel fuels, as well as the production of feedstock inputs to the biodiesel process. We believe that our vertical integration strategy will help us diversify revenue streams and manage our commodity price exposure, expand our customer base and product margins, and increase our scale for additional operating efficiencies. The company owns an operating biodiesel fuel production facility located in Pollock, Louisiana that uses renewable agricultural-based feedstock (primarily soybean oil) to produce biodiesel. This facility is situated on a 320-acre site, with access to transportation infrastructure, including a nearby navigable tributary river to the Mississippi river and major highways and rail service. |

| WHY BIODIESEL? |
| Biodiesel is an alternative fuel (i.e., not derived from petroleum) that has important environmental and economic advantages over its petroleum-based counterpart. It is derived from renewable agricultural-based resources, including vegetable oils, recycled grease or animal fats, and has significant environmental benefits. Non-toxic and biodegradable, biodiesel has significantly lower emissions of sulfur, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons than petrodiesel when burned. Biodiesel is a registered fuel with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and is recognized by the Department of Transportation. The demand for biodiesel has soared as consumers and public policy makers recognize its positive impact on air quality, as well as its economic and national security benefits. |
