Detailed Quote: www.otcpicks.com/quotes/SRDG.php

Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/southridge-enterprises/southridge-enterprises.htm

Southridge Ethanol, Inc. is a renewable energy company with a mission to become the ethanol producer of choice in the southeastern region of the United States. The company is focusing its efforts in an area which offers abundant supplies of corn, superior transportation infrastructure and expedited permitting processes.

SRDG News:

September 29 - Southridge Signs $35 Million Ethanol Sales Agreement

Southridge Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: SRDG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (the "Company") announced that it has entered into an ethanol sales agreement with Hong Kong based Jinsung Ho Trading Group (JHTG) for the supply of 15 million gallons of ethanol per year. Deliveries are expected to begin in October 2008. The ethanol is being sourced from Petrozilian Energia SA (PES) from Brazil.

Over the last several quarters the company completed several similar ethanol sale transactions with European based buyers. However, this new transaction with JHTG is a direct result of our increased exposure from the Company's market awareness program in the Asian Pacific Rim. The Company expects this to be the second of many purchases to come from that region.

Dallas-based Southridge is developing ethanol plants in El Salvador and Brazil.
