within the prescribed time period.
The registrant worked diligently to prepare its Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2005. However, because information required, particularly
relating to tax matters, was not previously available, the registrant was unable
to complete such Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without
unreasonable effort or expense. Certain of these tax provisions, when
finalized, may affect results of operations.

PART IV - ITEM (3) ATTACHMENT
Based on information available to management at this point in time,
including audited consolidated financials, management believes that revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2005 will be approximately 20% higher than for the
comparable period in 2004. This increase is due to better pricing in our grain
business and growing volumes in our protein business.
Based on information available to management at this point in time, management
anticipates that results for gross margin, operating income and net income for
the year ended December 31, 2005, when adjusted for non-recurring and
extraordinary items, will also increase materially from the comparable period in
2004.
The final version of this information will be included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for such period, which will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or before April 14, 2006.
