Forward-looking statements

This presentation and our answers to questions contain statements about expected

future events and financial and operating results of BIOX that are forward-looking.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require BIOX to make assumptions and

are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the

forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not

to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could

cause actual future results and events to differ materially from that expressed in the

forward-looking statements. Accordingly, our comments are subject to this

disclaimer and qualified by the assumptions, qualifications and risk factors (including

those associated with legislation affecting the biodiesel industry, the availability of

producer payment programs, and commodity prices) referred to in BIOX’s public

disclosure documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Except

as required by law, BIOX disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise

forward-looking statements.

The impact of our technical advantage

Competition BIOX

Chemistry consumptionlikely higher

Higher priced low FFA feedstockor pretreatment= yield loss

Yield: ?

35-40% price discounton higher FFA feedstock

Cannot use less chemistry (stoichiometrically)

Yield: 1:1

Atmospheric pressure andambient temperature= low energy cost

Energy consumptionlikely higher

BIOX = low cost provider 13
