DISCLOSURE.
Lincolnway Energy, LLC emailed or mailed
its quarterly newsletter to its members, entitled "The Energy Forum", on February 1, 2012 (the "member newsletter").
The member newsletter is provided as an exhibit to this Current Report.
Various discussions and statements
in the member newsletter may contain forward looking statements that express Lincolnway Energy's current beliefs, projections and
predictions about future events. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward looking statements, and include
statements with respect to financial results and condition; anticipated future trends in business, revenues or net income; projections
concerning operations, capital needs and cash flow; investment, business, growth, expansion and acquisition opportunities and strategies;
management's plans and intentions for the future; competitive position; and other forecasts, projections and statements of expectation.
Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "may," "will,"
"contemplates," "forecasts," "future," "strategy," "potential," "predicts,"
"projects," "prospects," "possible," "continue," "hopes," "intends,"
"believes," "seeks," "should," "could," "thinks," "objectives" and
other similar expressions or variations of those words or those types of words help identify forward looking statements. Forward
looking statements involve and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward looking statements are necessarily
subjective and are made based on numerous and varied estimates, projections, views, beliefs, strategies and assumptions made or
existing at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future results or performance. Lincolnway Energy disclaims any
obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information,
or otherwise.
Lincolnway Energy cannot guarantee Lincolnway Energy's future results, performance or business conditions,
and strong reliance must not be placed on any forward looking statements.
Actual future performance, outcomes
and results may differ materially from those suggested by or expressed in forward looking statements as a result of numerous and
varied factors, risks and uncertainties, some that are known and some that are not, and many of which are beyond the control of
Lincolnway Energy and Lincolnway Energy's management. It is not possible to predict or identify all of those factors, risks and
uncertainties, but they include inaccurate assumptions or predictions by management, the accuracy and completeness of the publicly
available information upon which part of Lincolnway Energy's business strategy is based and all of the various factors, risks and
uncertainties discussed in Lincolnway Energy's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Item 1A
of Lincolnway Energy's most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
The information contained in this Current
Report and in the member newsletter shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall this Current Report or the member newsletter be
incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except only as
may be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
