SECTION 7 - REGULATION FD

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

      On July 28, 2005, speaking before a gathering of brokers, potential
investors and market professionals, Xethanol's Chairman and CEO, Christopher
d'Arnaud-Taylor, stated that Xethanol expects to produce 2,600,000 gallons of
ethanol in 2005 and 12,000,000 gallons of ethanol in 2006 from its Iowa
production facility. He continued, assuming $1.35 per gallon of ethanol in 2005
and $1.50 per gallon of ethanol in 2006, that ethanol revenues could reach
$3,500,000 in 2005 and $18,000,000 in 2006. Finally, after reductions for
non-capitalized start-up expenses at the Iowa facility, non-cash expensing of
new employee stock grants and the costs of becoming a public company, Mr.
d'Arnaud-Taylor concluded that net profit (loss) pre- and post-taxes would be
estimated at $(5,000,000) in 2005 and $3,500,000 in 2006, although actual
financial performance may differ materially from these estimates. Xethanol is
providing this information in accordance with the SEC's Regulation FD.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Included in the foregoing paragraph and in other statements by Mr.
d'Arnaud-Taylor are "forward-looking" statements. Although Xethanol believes
that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, Xethanol can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in
these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Xethanol's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including matters described in the
section titled "Risk Factors." Forward-looking statements include those that use
forward-looking terminology, such as the words "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "project," "plan," "will," "shall,"
"should," and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. Although
Xethanol believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and
uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements.

      All forward-looking statements attributable to Xethanol are expressly
qualified in their entirety by these and other factors. Xethanol undertakes no
obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether to
reflect events or circumstances after the date initially filed or published, to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.
