Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – History and Basis of Presentation

History

Medical Discoveries, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 20, 1991. Effective as of August 6, 1992, the Company merged with and into WPI Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Utah corporation (“WPI”), pursuant to which WPI was the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the MDI-WPI merger, the name of the surviving corporation was changed to Medical Discoveries, Inc. (“MDI”). MDI’s initial purpose was the research and development of an anti-infection drug known as MDI-P.

On March 22, 2005, MDI formed MDI Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary to acquire and operate the assets and business associated with the Savetherapeutics transaction. With this transaction, MDI acquired the SaveCream technology and carried on the research and development of this drug candidate. As discussed in Note 9, MDI made the decision in 2007 to discontinue further development of these two drug candidates and sell these technologies.

On September 7, 2007, MDI entered into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which it acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests in Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC, discussed further in Note 3. Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC was an entity that had certain trade secrets, know-how, business plans, term sheets, business relationships, and other information relating to the start-up of a business related to the cultivation and production of seed oil from the seed of the Jatropha plant. With this transaction, MDI commenced the research and development of a business whose purpose will be providing feedstock oil intended for the production of bio-diesel.

On January 29, 2008, a meeting of shareholders was held and, among other things, the name Medical Discoveries, Inc. was changed to Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”).

Effective April 23, 2008, the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement to form GCE Mexico I, LLC (GCE Mexico) along with six unaffiliated investors. The Company owns 50% of the common membership interest of GCE Mexico and five of the unaffiliated investors own the other 50% of the common membership interest. Additionally, a total of 1,000 preferred membership units were issued to two of the unaffiliated investors. GCE Mexico owns a 99% interest in Asideros Globales Corporativo, (Asideros) a corporation newly organized under the laws of Mexico, and the Company owns the remaining 1% directly. GCE Mexico was organized primarily to, among other things, acquire land in Mexico through Asideros for the cultivation of the Jatropha plant.

On July 2, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Technology Alternatives, Limited (TAL), which is developing a farm in Belize for cultivation of the Jatropha plant. TAL has also developed a nursery capable of producing Jatropha seedlings and rooted cuttings, and provides technical advisory services for the propagation of the Jatropha plant.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries, and the variable interest entities of GCE Mexico and Asideros. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE), the entity should consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of GCE Mexico and Asideros, and accordingly, has consolidated these entities since April 2008, with the equity interests of the unaffiliated investors in GCE Mexico presented as Noncontrolling Interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included and are of normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Loss per Common Share

Loss per share amounts are computed by dividing loss applicable to the common shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. All outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, and common stock held in escrow are currently antidilutive and have been excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share at September 30, 2009 and 2008, as follows:

	September 30,
	2009		2008

Convertible notes		128,671		128,671
Convertible preferred stock - Series B		11,818,181		11,818,181
Warrants		29,742,552		29,742,552
Compensation-based stock options and warrants		60,859,083		51,459,083
Common stock held in escrow		-		4,567,519
		102,548,487		97,716,006

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable and the research and development obligation approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for the various notes payable and the mortgage note payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.

Foreign Currency

The Company has operations located in Mexico and Belize. For these foreign operations, the functional currency is the local country’s currency. Consequently, revenues and expenses of operations outside the United States of America are translated into U.S. dollars using weighted average exchange rates, while assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States of America are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in equity (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 20, 2009, the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. See Note 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on our financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on subsequent events. The objective of this guidance is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This new accounting guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adopting this new guidance had no effect on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for variable interest entities. These changes require a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. These changes are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. These changes are not expected to have an immediate impact on our current financial statements. However, these changes could impact the future accounting for the VIEs that we currently consolidate and would impact the accounting for controlling financial interests in any VIE that we may acquire in the future.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to provide clarification on measuring liabilities at fair value when a quoted price in an active market is not available. This guidance became effective for us on October 1, 2009. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009, and it had no material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2 – Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss applicable to its common shareholders of $909,978 and $1,707,562 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, and has incurred losses applicable to its common shareholders since inception of the development stage of $28,056,909. The Company also used cash in operating activities of $239,318 and $1,004,670 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the Company has negative working capital of $7,682,975 and a stockholders’ deficit attributable to its stockholders of $6,232,910. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company discontinued its former bio-pharmaceutical business during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Management plans to meet its cash needs through various means including selling assets that include, but are not limited to, its former bio-pharmaceutical business, securing financing, entering into joint ventures, and developing a new business model. In order to fund its new operations related to the cultivation of the Jatropha plant, the Company sold Series B preferred stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 in the amount of $1,300,000, issued a secured promissory note under which the Company has borrowings of $475,000, and has received $4,619,214 in capital contributions from the preferred membership interest in GCE Mexico I, LLC. The Company is developing a new business operation to participate in the rapidly growing bio-diesel industry. The Company continues to expect to be successful in this new venture, but there is no assurance that its business plan will be economically viable. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on that plan’s success. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Jatropha Business Venture

Having agreed to discontinue its bio-pharmaceutical operations and dispose of the related assets, the Company considered entering into a number of other businesses that would enable it to be able to provide the shareholders with future value. The Company’s Board of Directors decided to develop a business to produce and sell seed oils, including seed oils harvested from the planting and cultivation of the Jatropha curcas plant, for the purpose of providing feedstock oil intended for the generation of methyl ester, otherwise known as bio-diesel (the “Jatropha Business”). The Company’s Board concluded that there was a significant opportunity to participate in the rapidly growing biofuels industry, which previously was mainly driven by high priced, edible oil-based feedstock. In order to commence its new Jatropha Business, the Company entered into various transactions during September and October of 2007, including: (i) hired Richard Palmer, an energy consultant, and a member of Global Clean Energy Holdings LLC (“Global”) to act as its new President, Chief Operating Officer and future Chief Executive Officer, (ii) engaged Mobius Risk Group, LLC, a Texas company engaged in providing energy risk advisory services, to provide it with consulting services related to the development of the Jatropha Business, (iii) acquired certain trade secrets, know-how, business plans, term sheets, business relationships, and other information relating to the cultivation and production of seed oil from the Jatropha plant for the production of bio-diesel from Global, and (iv) engaged Corporativo LODEMO S.A DE CV to assist with the development of the Jatropha Business in Mexico. Subsequent to entering into these transactions, the Company identified certain real property in Mexico it believed to be suitable for cultivating the Jatropha plant. During April 2008, the Company and six unaffiliated investors formed GCE Mexico I, LLC (GCE Mexico) and Asideros Globales Corporativo (Asideros), a Mexican corporation. Asideros has acquired the land in Mexico for the cultivation of the Jatropha plant. In July 2009, the Company acquired Technology Alternatives Limited (TAL), which is developing a farm in Belize for cultivation of the Jatropha plant and provides technical advisory services for the propagation of the Jatropha plant. All of these transactions are described in further detail in the remainder of this note to the consolidated financial statements.

Share Exchange Agreement

The Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the Global Agreement) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests in Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Global), on September 7, 2007 from Mobius Risk Group, LLC (Mobius) and from Richard Palmer (Mr. Palmer). Mr. Palmer owns a 13.33% equity interest in Mobius and became the Company’s new President and Chief Operating Officer in September 2007 and its Chief Executive Officer in December 2007. Mobius and Mr. Palmer are considered related parties to the Company. Global is an entity that has certain trade secrets, know-how, business plans, term sheets, business relationships, and other information relating to the start-up of a business related to the cultivation and production of seed oil from the seed of the Jatropha plant, for the purpose of providing feedstock oil intended for the production of bio-diesel.

Mobius Consulting Agreement

Concurrent with the execution of the Global Agreement, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mobius pursuant to which Mobius agreed to provide consulting services to the Company in connection with the Company’s new Jatropha bio-diesel feedstock business. The Company engaged Mobius as a consultant to obtain Mobius’ experience and expertise in the feedstock/bio-diesel market to assist the Company and Mr. Palmer in developing this new line of operations for the Company. Mobius agreed to provide the following services to the Company: (i) manage and supervise a contemplated research and development program contracted by the Company and conducted by the University of Texas Pan American regarding the location, characterization, and optimal economic propagation of the Jatropha plant; and (ii) assist with the management and supervision of the planning, construction, and start-up of plant nurseries and seed production plantations in Mexico, the Caribbean or Central America.

The original term of the agreement was twelve months. The scope of work under the agreement was completed in August 2008 and the agreement was terminated. Mobius supervised the hiring of certain staff to serve in management and operations roles of the Company, or hired such persons to provide similar services as independent contractors. Mobius’ compensation for the services provided under the agreement was a monthly retainer of $45,000. The Company also reimbursed Mobius for reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with the services provided. The agreement contained customary confidentiality provisions with respect to any confidential information disclosed to Mobius or which Mobius received while providing services under the agreement. Under this agreement, the Company paid Mobius or accrued $144,144 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, all of which was capitalized as plantation development costs pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company paid Mobius or accrued $437,279, of which $42,155 was expensed as compensation to Mobius and $395,124 was capitalized as plantation development costs.

LODEMO Agreement

On October 15, 2007, the Company entered into a service agreement with Corporativo LODEMO S.A DE CV, a Mexican corporation (the LODEMO Group). The Company had decided to initiate its Jatropha Business in Mexico, and had identified parcels of land in Mexico to plant and cultivate Jatropha. In order to obtain all of the logistical and other services needed to operate a large-scale farming and transportation business in Mexico, the Company entered into the service agreement with the LODEMO Group, a privately held Mexican company with substantial land holdings, significant experience in diesel distribution and sales, liquids transportation, logistics, land development and agriculture.

Under the supervision of the Company’s management, the LODEMO Group was responsible for the establishment, development, and day-to-day operations of the Jatropha Business in Mexico, including the extraction of the oil from the Jatropha seeds, the delivery of the Jatropha oil to buyers, the purchase or lease of land in Mexico, the establishment and operation of one or more Jatropha nurseries, the clearing, planting and cultivation of the Jatropha fields, the harvesting of the Jatropha seeds, the operation of the Company’s oil extraction facilities, and the logistics associated with the foregoing. The LODEMO Group was responsible for identifying and acquiring the farmland. However, ownership of the farmland or any lease thereto is held directly by the Company or by a Mexican subsidiary of the Company. The LODEMO Group was responsible for hiring and the initial management of all necessary employees. All direct and budgeted costs of the Jatropha Business in Mexico will be borne by the Company or by its Mexican subsidiary or joint venture.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The LODEMO Group provided the foregoing and other necessary services for a fee primarily based on the number of hectares of Jatropha under cultivation. The Company had agreed to pay the LODEMO Group a fixed fee per year of $60 per hectare of land planted and maintained with minimum payments based on 10,000 hectares of developed land, to follow a planned planting schedule. The Agreement has a 20-year term but may be terminated or modified earlier by the Company under certain circumstances. In June 2009, the scope of work previously performed by LODEMO was reduced and modified based upon certain labor functions being provided internally by the Company and by Asideros, the Company’s Mexican subsidiary, on a go-forward basis. Under this modified agreement, the Company paid the LODEMO Group or accrued $14,275 and $208,168 during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, all of which was capitalized as plantation development costs pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. The Company paid the LODEMO Group or accrued $616,365 and $878,612 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, the Company owed $204,388 of plantation development costs to the LODEMO Group. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had prepaid $98,159 of plantation development costs to the LODEMO Group.

GCE Mexico I, LLC and Asideros Globales Corporativo

Effective April 23, 2008, the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”) to form GCE Mexico I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (GCE Mexico), with six unaffiliated investors (collectively, the Investors). GCE Mexico was organized primarily to facilitate the acquisition of approximately 5,000 acres of farm land (the Jatropha Farm) in the State of Yucatan in Mexico to be used primarily for the (i) cultivation of Jatropha curcas, (ii) the marketing and sale of the resulting fruit, seeds, or pre-processed crude Jatropha oil, whether as biodiesel feedstock, biomass or otherwise, and (iii) the sale of carbon value, green fuel value, or renewable energy credit value (and other similar environmental attributes) derived from activities at the Jatropha Farm.

Under the LLC Agreement, the Company owns 50% of the issued and outstanding common membership units of GCE Mexico. The remaining 50% of the common membership units was issued to five of the Investors. The Company and the other owners of the common membership interest were not required to make capital contributions to GCE Mexico.

In addition, two of the Investors agreed to invest in GCE Mexico through the purchase of preferred membership units and through the funding of the purchase of land in Mexico. An aggregate of 1,000 preferred membership units were issued to these two Investors who each agreed to make capital contributions to GCE Mexico in installments and as required, to fund the development and operations of the Jatropha Farm. As of September 30, 2009, total capital contributions of $4,619,214 have been received by GCE Mexico from these Investors since the execution of the LLC Agreement. The LLC Agreement calls for additional contributions from the Investors, as requested by management and as required by the operation in 2009 and the following years. These Investors are entitled to earn a preferential 12% per annum cumulative compounded return on the cumulative balance of their preferred membership interest.

The two investors holding preferred membership units also directly funded the purchase of approximately 5,000 acres of land in the State of Yucatan in Mexico by the payment of $2,051,282. The land was acquired in the name of Asideros and Asideros issued a mortgage in the amount of $2,051,282 in favor of these two investors. The mortgage bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. The Board has directed that this interest shall continue to accrue until such time as the Board determines that there is sufficient cash flow to pay all accrued interest. The entire mortgage, including any unpaid interest, is due April 23, 2018.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The net income or loss of Asideros is allocated to its shareholders based on their respective equity ownership, which is 99% to GCE Mexico and 1% directly to the Company. GCE Mexico has no operations separate from its investment in Asideros. According to the LLC Agreement of GCE Mexico, the net loss of GCE Mexico (composed solely of its share of the operating results of Asideros) is allocated to its members according to their respective investment balances. Accordingly, since the common membership interest did not make a capital contribution, all of the losses have been allocated to the preferred membership interest. The noncontrolling interest presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes the carrying value of the preferred membership interests and of the common membership interests owned by the Investors, and excludes any common membership interest in GCE Mexico held by the Company.

Technology Alternatives, Limited

On October 29, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of Technology Alternatives, Limited (TAL), a company formed under the laws of Belize in Central America. Subsequently, the terms and conditions of the stock purchase agreement were modified prior to closing. The closing was primarily delayed to allow TAL to complete all required conditions for the closing. On July 2, 2009, all closing requirements were completed and the Company consummated the stock purchase agreement by issuing 8,952,757 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of TAL. TAL owns approximately 400 acres of land and has been developing a Jatropha farm in stages over the last three years for the cultivation of the Jatropha plant. TAL has also developed a nursery capable of producing Jatropha seeds, seedlings and rooted cuttings. During 2009, TAL has commenced selling seeds, principally to GCE Mexico. TAL also provides technical advisory services for the propagation of the Jatropha plant.

On the closing date, the common stock issued to acquire TAL was valued at $179,055, or $0.02 per share. The Company’s preliminary evaluation of the fair value of net assets acquired consists of the following:

Assets:
Cash	$	2,532
Land		485,724
Plantation development costs		81,189
Plantation equipment		61,543
Office equipment		2,246
Total Assets		633,234

Liabilities:
Accounts payable		26,434
Accrued compensation		30,629
Payable to Global Clean Energy		129,080
Notes payable to shareholders		268,036
Total Liabilities		454,179
Net assets acquired	$	179,055

In connection with the acquisition, certain payables to the former shareholders of TAL were renegotiated and converted into promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $516,139 Belize Dollars (US $268,036 based on exchange rates in effect at July 2, 2009). These notes payable to shareholders were interest free through September 30, 2009, and then bear interest at 8% per annum through the maturity date. The notes are secured by a mortgage on the land and related improvements. The notes, plus any related accrued interest, are due on December 29, 2009. TAL and/or the Company may prepay the notes at any time without penalty, and the Company is required to prepay the notes if and when it receives future funding in an amount that, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, is sufficient to permit the prepayment of the notes without adversely affecting the Company’s operations or financial condition.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The preliminary evaluation of the fair value of net assets acquired is subject to change as management completes the evaluation of the fair value of land and plantation development costs, as well as the completeness of liabilities assumed. Since TAL has been developing its plantation since its inception, its revenues and results of operations have not been significant. Accordingly, supplemental pro forma information of combined revenue and results of operations have not been presented.

Engagement of Investment Banking Firm

On June 29, 2009, the Company engaged the services of Mercanti Securities, LLC, (“Mercanti”), to assist in the raising of additional capital on a joint venture basis. These funds will be used to establish additional Jatropha farms primarily on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. As compensation for this engagement, Mercanti or its designate were granted five year warrants to purchase 7,700,000 common shares of the Company at $ 0.0325 per share. In addition, Mercanti would receive a cash success fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any equity placement and an additional 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any equity placement payable in warrants.

Note 4 – Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2009			2008

Land	$	2,525,193		$	2,051,282
Plantation development costs		3,511,873			2,117,061
Plantation equipment		818,176			509,037
Office equipment		21,016			10,993

Total cost		6,876,258			4,688,373
Less accumulated depreciation		(64,043	)		(22,296	)

Property and equipment, net	$	6,812,215		$	4,666,077

Commencing in June 2008, Asideros purchased certain equipment for purposes of rapidly clearing the land, preparing the land for planting, and actually planting the Jatropha trees. The Company has capitalized farming equipment and costs related to the development of land for farm use in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Plantation equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years and is currently being capitalized as part of plantation development costs. Plantation development costs are not currently being depreciated. Upon completion of the plantation development, development costs having a limited life and intermediate-life plants that have growth and production cycles of more than one year will be depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. The land, plantation development costs, and plantation equipment are located in Mexico and in Belize.

Note 5 – Accrued Payroll and Payroll Taxes

A substantial portion of accrued payroll and payroll taxes relates to unpaid compensation for officers and directors that are no longer affiliated with the Company. Accrued payroll taxes will become due upon payment of the related accrued compensation. Accrued payroll and payroll taxes are composed of the following:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2009		2008

Former Chief Executive Officer, resigned 2007, including $500,000 under the Release and Settlement Agreement	$	570,949	$	570,949
Other former officers and directors		311,200		311,200
Accrued payroll taxes on accrued compensation to former officers and directors		38,510		38,510
Accrued payroll, vacation, and related payroll taxes for current officers		615,504		238,149
Accrued payroll and payroll taxes	$	1,536,163	$	1,158,808

On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with Judy Robinett, the Company’s then-current Chief Executive Officer. Under the agreement, Ms. Robinett agreed to, among other things, assist the Company in the sale of its legacy assets and complete the preparation and filing of the delinquent reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the agreement, Ms. Robinett agreed to (i) forgive her potential right to receive $1,851,805 in accrued and unpaid compensation, un-accrued and pro-rata bonuses, and severance pay and (ii) the cancellation of stock options to purchase 14,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. In consideration for her services, the forgiveness of the foregoing cash payments, the cancellation of the stock options, and settlement of other issues, the Company agreed to, among other things, to pay Ms. Robinett $500,000 upon the receipt of the cash payment under the agreement to sell the SaveCream Assets to Eucodis Pharmaceuticals Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH (Eucodis). Pursuant to this agreement, Ms. Robinett resigned on December 21, 2007. Eucodis has since ceased operations. Further, as indicated in Note 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the SaveCream Assets to an unaffiliated third party on November 16, 2009. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the condition precedent described above, i.e., the Company’s sale of the SaveCream Assets to Eucodis, will occur.

Note 6 – Secured Promissory Note

In order to fund ongoing operations pending closing of the sale of the SaveCream Assets, the Company entered into a loan agreement with, and issued a promissory note in favor of, Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P. (Mercator) in September 2007. At that time, Mercator, along with two other affiliates, owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Late in 2008, Mercator was dissolved and the promissory note was distributed to the former limited partners of Mercator. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the note holders agreed to extend the due date of the note to July 2009 in exchange for increasing the principal balance of the note by $15,000 and increasing the interest rate by 2%. At September 30, 2009, the principal balance of the note is $475,000 and the note bears interest at 10.68%. This note has been further extended under the same terms until January 31, 2010. The loan is secured by a lien on all of the assets of the Company.

Financial Instrument

Prior to January 29, 2008, the Company was unable to guarantee that there would be enough shares of authorized common stock to settle certain “freestanding instruments” arising from warrants attached to convertible preferred stock or other sources. Accordingly, the warrants were measured at their fair value and recorded as a liability in the financial statements characterized as a “Financial Instrument”. As of January 29, 2008, the fair value of this liability was recorded at $2,161,045. On January 29, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 250 million to 500 million. Consequently, as the result of this amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company was then able to settle all ‘freestanding instruments”. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the liability, characterized in the financial statements as “Financial Instrument” to permanent equity in January 2008.

Common Stock

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of stock for $50,000, or $0.02 per share. Additionally, as further described in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued 8,952,757 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of Technology Alternatives, Limited.

Pursuant to the share exchange agreement to acquire Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC in September 2007, 13,702,555 shares of common stock had been held in escrow pending the achievement of certain “Market Capitalization Milestones”. As of September 7, 2009, the deadline for achieving the milestones, 3,915,016 shares were still being held in escrow pending the achievement of the milestones. The Company failed to meet the remaining milestones by September 7, 2009, and accordingly, these remaining shares have been forfeited and returned to the Company for cancellation.

Note 8 – Stock Options and Warrants

Stock Options and Compensation-Based Warrants

The Company has two incentive stock option plans wherein 24,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance there under. The Company granted stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to acquire 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the new Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued compensation-based warrants to purchase 2,076,083 shares of common stock in satisfaction of outstanding accounts payable totaling $124,565. The Company granted stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to non-employee directors. These options are exercisable at $0.02 per share, vest monthly over ten months starting August 31, 2009, and expire July 3, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company also issued compensation-based stock warrants to an investment banking firm to acquire 7,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.0325 per share. No income tax benefit has been recognized for share-based compensation arrangements. The Company has recognized plantation development costs totaling $124,565 related to a liability that was satisfied by the issuance of warrants in 2008. Otherwise, no share-based compensation cost has been capitalized in the balance sheet.

A summary of the status of options and compensation-based warrants at September 30, 2009, and changes during the nine months then ended is presented in the following table:

					Weighted
			Weighted		Average
	Shares		Average		Remaining		Aggregate

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

At September 30, 2009, options to acquire 80,000 shares of common stock have no stated contractual life. The fair value of other stock option grants and compensation-based warrants is estimated on the date of grant or issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted and compensation-based warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0.014. The weighted-average assumptions used for the stock options granted and compensation-based warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were risk-free interest rate of 2.5%, volatility of 150%, expected life of 5.0 years, and dividend yield of zero. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.042. The weighted-average assumptions used for these options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were risk-free interest rate of 2.4%, volatility of 127%, expected life of 5.2 years, and dividend yield of zero. The assumptions employed in the Black-Scholes option pricing model include the following. The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding prior to exercise. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the stock options.

Effective April 22, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the following changes in compensation for the members of the board of directors and for the executive officers:

Options will be granted to each non-employee member of the Board of Directors to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock commencing July 1, 2009 and annually thereafter on July 1 of each successive year. The exercise price of the options will be at fair market value, as determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the grant. The options will have a term of five years until expiration. The options will vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments.

Approved the release of 652,503 shares of common stock to Richard Palmer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. These shares were previously part of the shares from the share exchange agreement to acquire Global Clean Energy Holdings, LLC in September 2007 that were being held in escrow pending the achievement of certain market-related milestones. Mr. Palmer was also awarded the immediate vesting of options to purchase twelve million shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted. These options were originally granted under the employment agreement with Mr. Palmer in September 2007 with vesting originally contingent upon the achievement of certain market-capitalization milestones. The exercise price of these options remained unchanged at $0.03 per share and the term remained unchanged at five years from the date of employment.

Approved the immediate vesting of options to purchase 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock held by Bruce Nelson, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. These options were originally granted under the employment agreement with Mr. Nelson in March 2008 with vesting originally contingent upon the achievement of certain market-capitalization milestones. The exercise price of these options remained unchanged at $0.05 per share and the term remained unchanged at five years from the date of employment.

Approved the immediate vesting of options to purchase an additional one million shares of the Company’s common stock held by Mr. Nelson. These options were originally granted under the employment agreement with Mr. Nelson in March 2008 with vesting scheduled for June 2009 through March 2010. The exercise price of these options remained unchanged at $0.05 per share and the term remained unchanged at five years from the date of employment.

These modifications accelerated the vesting of the affected options and accelerated the release of the affected common stock held in escrow, which resulted in the acceleration of the recognition of the remainder of share-based compensation related to these options and common stock held in escrow. Share-based compensation recorded during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $14,982 and $401,197, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense. Share-based compensation recorded during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $60,349 and $307,139, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2009, there is approximately $13,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based payments that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.7 years.

Note 9 – Discontinued Operations

Prior to 2007, the Company was a developmental-stage bio-pharmaceutical company engaged in the research, validation, development and ultimate commercialization of two drugs known as MDI-P and SaveCream. The Board evaluated the value of its developmental stage drug candidates and in March 2007, the Board determined that the best course of action was to discontinue further development of these drug candidates and sell these technologies. MDI-P was a drug candidate being developed as an anti-infective treatment for bacterial infections, viral infections and fungal infections. In August 2007, the Company sold the MDI-P related assets.

SaveCream is a drug candidate that the Company was developing to reduce breast cancer tumors. From March of 2007 through July of 2008, the Company entered into various agreements with Eucodis Pharmaceuticals Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH, an Austrian company (Eucodis) related to the sale of the SaveCream assets. Eucodis entered into a binding letter of intent in March 2007 and later entered into a sale and purchase agreement in July 2007. The sale and purchase agreement was approved by the Company’s shareholders in January 2008. Ultimately, all discussions and agreements with Eucodis were terminated in July 2008 due to their inability to obtain their own financing and their failure to close the sale. Eucodis has since ceased operations.

The Company has engaged investment banking firms over the past two years find a buyer for the SaveCream asset. However, the recent contraction of the capital markets has negatively impacted the abilities for several potential purchasers to consummate a purchase. The Company terminated all engagement of investment banking firms assisting in the sale of the asset. The Company has continued to seek interested parties through its previous relationships in the pharmaceutical industry since 2007. On November 16, 2009 the Company entered into a sales agreement with a new, unaffiliated European buyer regarding the SaveCream asset. The new potential buyer was identified without the assistance of an investment banking firm. A further explanation of this transaction is detailed in Note 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Pursuant to accounting rules for discontinued operations, the Company has classified all revenue and expense related to the operations, assets, and liabilities of its bio-pharmaceutical business as discontinued operations. For all periods prior to March 2007, the Company has reclassified all revenue and operating expenses to discontinued operations, except for estimated general corporate overhead, because all of its operations related to the discontinued technologies. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations principally consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses related to current liabilities associated with the discontinued operations that are denominated in euros. The Company has not recorded any gain or loss through September 30, 2009 associated with the planned sale of the SaveCream assets.

Note 10 – Subsequent Event

On November 16, 2009, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, MDI Oncology, Inc., entered into a Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement with Curadis Gmbh, a German company, for the sale and of substantially all of the intellectual property associated with the patents, patent applications, pre-clinical study data and ancillary clinical trial data concerning “SaveCream”, a developmental topical aromatase inhibitor cream.

The agreement calls for the payment of 350,000 Euros at closing and a revenue sharing arrangement to pay up to two million Euros to the Company should the pharmaceutical products ever be commercialized. In connection with the agreement, the Company received a deposit of 50,000 Euros. The closing is scheduled to occur prior to year end. Curadis Gmbh will also assume certain liabilities of the Company. Should the pharmaceutical product ever be commercialized the entire transaction will be valued at 4.2 million Euros. Although management is hopeful that the pharmaceutical product will be commercialized, no assurance can be given if or when any additional consideration or cash will be provided to the Company after the closing. The Company will hold a security interest in the sold assets until the final two million Euro payment is made, if ever.

Overview

Prior to 2007, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. was a developmental-stage bio-pharmaceutical company, known as Medical Discoveries, Inc., that was engaged in the research, validation and development of two drugs. As more fully described in this report, during 2007 our Board of Directors determined that we could no longer fund the development of our two drug candidates and could not obtain additional funding for these drug candidates. Accordingly, the Board decided to sell our two drug candidates and to develop a new business in the rapidly expanding business of renewable alternative energy sources. As a result, our future business plan, and our current principal business activities include the planting, cultivation, harvesting and processing of inedible plant feedstock to generate seed oils and biomass for use in the biofuels industry, including the production of bio-diesel.

Organizational History

This company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 20, 1991. Effective as of August 6, 1992, this company merged with and into WPI Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Utah corporation. Pursuant to merger, the name of this company was changed to Medical Discoveries, Inc. WPI was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on February 22, 1984 under the name Westport Pharmaceutical, Inc. On January 29, 2008, our shareholders approved the change of our corporate name, and on that date we amended our name to “Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.” to reflect our new focus on the bio-diesel alternative energy market.

On March 22, 2005, we formed MDI Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary to acquire certain breast cancer intellectual property assets from the liquidation estate of Savetherapeutics, A.G.

Transition to new Business

Until 2007, we were a developmental-stage bio-pharmaceutical company engaged in the research, validation, and development of two drugs we referred to as MDI-P and SaveCream. Both of these drugs were under development, and had not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The total cost to develop these two drugs, and to receive the approval from the FDA, would have cost many millions of dollars and taken many more years.

Early in 2007, our Board of Directors determined that we could no longer fund the development of our two drug candidates and that we could not obtain additional funding for these drug candidates. Our Board also evaluated the value of the SaveCream drug candidate that was being co-developed with Eucodis Pharmaceuticals Forschungs – und Entwicklungs GmbH, an Austrian company later known as Eucodis Pharmaceuticals GmbH (“Eucodis”), and the return we could expect for our shareholders, and determined that the highest value for this drug candidate could be realized through a sale of that drug candidate to Eucodis. Accordingly, our Board sought to maximize the return from these assets through their sale.

On July 6, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Eucodis to sell SaveCream, and on January 29, 2008, our shareholders approved the sale of the SaveCream asset to Eucodis. However, Eucodis was unable to complete the purchase of the assets, and our agreement to sell the SaveCream assets to Eucodis expired.

Having decided to dispose of the foregoing assets, our Board decided to develop a business in the alternative energy market as a producer of biofuels. Accordingly, our new goal is to produce and sell seed oils, including seeds oils harvested from the planting and cultivation of Jatropha curcas plant, for the purpose of providing feedstock oil used for the generation of methyl ester, otherwise known as bio-diesel (the “Jatropha Business”). In connection with commencing our new Jatropha Business, effective September 7, 2007, we (i) hired Richard Palmer, an energy consultant, and a member of Global Clean Energy Holdings LLC (“Global LLC”) to act as the our new President, Chief Operating Officer and future Chief Executive Officer, (ii) engaged Mobius Risk Group, LLC, a Texas company engaged in providing energy risk advisory services, to provide us with consulting services related to the development of the Jatropha Business, and (iii) acquired certain trade secrets, know-how, business plans, term sheets, business relationships, and other information relating to the cultivation and production of seed oil from the Jatropha plant for the production of bio-diesel from Global LLC.

Effective April 23, 2008, we entered into a limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”) for GCE Mexico I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GCE Mexico”), with six other unaffiliated persons (collectively, “Unaffiliated Members”). GCE Mexico was organized primarily to acquire approximately 5,000 acres of farm land (the “Jatropha Farm”) in the State of Yucatan in Mexico to be used primarily for the (i) cultivation of Jatropha curcas, (ii) the marketing and sale of the resulting fruit, seeds, or pre-processed crude Jatropha oil, whether as biodiesel feedstock, biomass or otherwise, and (iii) the sale of carbon value, green fuel value, or renewable energy credit value (and other similar environmental attributes) derived from activities at the Jatropha Farm.

Under the LLC Agreement, we own 50% of the issued and outstanding common membership units of GCE Mexico. The remaining 50% in common membership units were issued to the Unaffiliated Members. In addition, an aggregate of 1,000 preferred membership units were issued to two Unaffiliated Members (“Preferred Members”) who have, through September 30, 2009, contributed $4,619,214 to the capital of GCE Mexico. The Preferred Members are entitled to earn a preferential 12% per annum cumulative compounded return on the balance of their preferred membership interest. The capital contributions have been used to fund the development and operations of the Jatropha Farm. We are not required to make capital contributions to GCE Mexico.

On July 2, 2009, we finalized and closed on a Stock Purchase Agreement with the four shareholders of Technology Alternatives Limited, a company formed under the laws of Belize (“TAL”), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of TAL.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We are a development stage company as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, all losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of our development stage activities. Certain other critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material affect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

In 2007 the Board of Directors determined to discontinue our prior bio-pharmaceutical operations. Pursuant to accounting rules for discontinued operations, we have classified all revenue and expense, except general corporate overhead, for 2009, 2008 and prior periods related to the operations of our bio-pharmaceutical business as discontinued operations.

Revenues and Gross Profit. We are still a development stage company and have not had significant revenues from our operations or reached the level of our planned operations. We discontinued our prior bio-pharmaceutical operations in March 2007. In September 2007, we commenced operations in our new bio-fuels Jatropha business; however, we are still in the pre-development agricultural stage of our operations and, therefore, do not anticipate generating significant revenues from the sale of bio-fuel products until the fourth quarter of 2009. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized revenue of $149,000 and $218,000 principally under a bio-fuel consulting services agreement. We did not recognize any revenues during the three months or the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We are, however, attempting to generate cash from the forward sale of carbon credits, the sale of future oil delivery contracts, the sale of Jatropha seeds for seed propagation purposes, and by providing additional bio-fuel consulting services.

Operating Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses related to our continuing operations for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, were $264,000 and $1,205,000, respectively, compared to $345,000 and $1,360,000 for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. General and administrative expenses principally include officer compensation; third-party services, such as legal, accounting, and consulting expenses; share-based compensation; and other general expenses such as insurance, occupancy costs, travel, etc. The net decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the prior year was $81,000 and was principally the result of a decrease in share-based compensation of $45,000, and a reduction of $41,000 in expenses incurred to third-party legal and consulting service providers. The net reduction in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $156,000 and was principally the result of a reduction of $225,000 in expenses incurred to third-party legal, accounting and consulting service providers, and a reduction in travel costs of $17,000, net of an increase in share-based compensation of $94,000.

Other Income/ Expense. The principal component of Other Income/Expense is interest expense. Interest expense for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, were $82,000 and $246,000, respectively, compared to $79,000 and $155,000 for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily attributable to interest on a mortgage on land purchased in Mexico during April 2008. The mortgage is in the amount of $2,051,000 and accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized loss from discontinued operations of $161,000 and $182,000, respectively, compared to income from discontinued operations of $251,000 and $6,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 principally relates to foreign currency exchange rate gains or losses on liabilities associated with our former business that are denominated in euros.

Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Effective April 23, 2008, we entered into a limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”) to form GCE Mexico I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (GCE Mexico), with six unaffiliated investors (collectively, the “Investors”). We own 50% of the common membership interests of GCE Mexico and five of the Investors own the other 50% of the common membership interests. Two of the Investors have invested $4,619,000 in exchange for preferred membership units of GCE Mexico. The proceeds from the preferred membership units have been used to fund the operations of Asideros Globales Corporativo (Asideros), who has acquired land in Mexico and is developing our Jatropha farm there. Asideros is owned 99% by GCE Mexico and 1% by us directly. GCE Mexico and Asideros are variable interest entities. We consider Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. to be the primary beneficiary of GCE Mexico and Asideros. As such, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GCE Mexico and Asideros. Under the LLC Agreement, the net loss allocated from Asideros to GCE Mexico is then further allocated to the members of GCE Mexico according to the investment balances. Accordingly, since the common membership interest did not make a capital contribution, all of the losses allocated to GCE Mexico have been further allocated to the preferred membership interest. The net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations represents the allocation of the net loss of GCE Mexico I, LLC to the preferred membership interests.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

As of Sept. 30, 2009, we had $848,000 in cash, a working capital deficit of $7,683,000, and over $10,830,000 of outstanding indebtedness. The existence of the foregoing working capital deficit and liabilities is expected to negatively impact our ability to obtain future equity or debt financing and the terms on which such additional financing, if available, can be obtained.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of equity and debt financing. In order to fund our short-term working capital needs, we will have to obtain additional funding. Virtually all of the cash reflected on our balance sheet is reserved for the operation of GCE Mexico and our Jatropha Farm. Accordingly, most of those funds are not available to fund our general and administrative or other operating expenses.

Our ability to fund our liquidity and working capital needs will be dependent upon certain potential transactions. As previously disclosed, the principal transaction that was expected to provide us with working capital was the sale of SaveCream, our remaining legacy pharmaceutical assets. Although we had previously agreed to sell these assets in 2007 and 2008, those proposed transaction were not consummated. On November 16, 2009, we entered into a new definitive agreement for the sale of all patents, rights, and data associated with our remaining legacy pharmaceutical assets for 350,000 Euros at closing, and a revenue sharing arrangement to pay up to 2,000,000 Euros to the Company should such legacy pharmaceutical assets ever be commercialized. We anticipate closing this transaction prior to year-end. The acquiring entity will also assume certain liabilities of the Company. If such legacy pharmaceutical assets were ever commercialized, the entire transaction would be valued at 4.2 million Euros. Although we are hopeful that the legacy pharmaceutical assets will be commercialized, no assurance can be given if or when any additional consideration or cash will be provided to the Company after the closing. We will continue to maintain a security interest in such assets until the final 2,000,000 Euro payment is made, if ever. Cash proceeds received at closing in connection with the sale of the legacy pharmaceutical assets will be used to finance the Company’s immediate working capital needs.

In order to fund ongoing operations, in September 2007 we entered into a short-term loan agreement with Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P. (“Mercator”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, Mercator advanced $350,000 to the Company, of which $200,000 remained outstanding in May 2008. On May 19, 2008, the loan agreement was modified to accrue interest at an interest rate of 8.68% per annum, Mercator advanced an additional $250,000, and the amount available under that facility was changed to $450,000. This loan was secured by a first priority lien on our assets. In connection with this amendment Mercator was granted a new warrant to purchase 581,395 shares of common stock (calculated by dividing $75,000 by 130% of the closing price of the stock when exercised) at a price of $0.129 per share. In January 2009, Mercator dissolved and distributed the loan to its limited partners who currently control the loan. The loan amount was increased to $475,000, and the maturity date was extended to July 13, 2009. In August 2009, the maturity date of this loan was again extended, this time to January 31, 2010. Accordingly, in the event that this loan in not repaid by its maturity date on January 31, 2010, or if the current holders of the promissory note evidencing the loan do not agree to extend the maturity date of this loan past the current maturity date, the holders of the note will have the right to foreclose on our assets, which would have a material adverse affect on our ability to implement our business plan, and may result in the cessation of our business operations.

To date, we have funded our operations from loans we have obtained, from the proceeds of the sale of the $1,300,000 of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in November 2007, and from management fees we have received from GCE Mexico I, LLC and other clients. However, we do not have sufficient cash to continue our current operations and will need to raise funds in the immediate future in order to continue to operate.

Our business plan calls for significant infusion of additional capital to establish additional Jatropha farms in Mexico and other locations. Because of our negative working capital position, we currently do not have the funds necessary to acquire and cultivate additional farms. Accordingly, we will have to obtain significant additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt securities, the forward sale of Jatropha oil and carbon offset credits, and from other financing activities, such as strategic partnerships and joint ventures. The formation and funding of the GCE Mexico I, LLC, as previously discussed, is the first of a series of planned transactions to expand our Jatropha operations. Effective July 2, 2009, we acquired all of the shares of capital stock of Technology Alternatives Limited, a company that owns a 400 acre Jatropha farm in Belize. This acquisition is the second step in the planned expansion of the Company’s Jatropha plantations. While we have commenced negotiations with various third parties to obtain additional funding from strategic partnerships and for the sale of carbon credits, no assurance can be given that we will be able to enter into any agreements to obtain funding, sell carbon credits or form additional strategic partnerships. Without raising additional cash (through the sale of our securities, the sale or carbon credits, or strategic arrangements), we will not be able to effect our new business plan in the Jatropha business and will have to further reduce our operations, revise our business plan, and either/or temporarily or permanently cease operations.

On April 29, 2008, we formed a new limited liability company, GCE Mexico I, LLC, that was funded with a $2,051,282 million loan to acquire approximately 5,000 acres of Jatropha farmland in Mexico. Operating and development funds of $957,271 (net of transaction costs) were also received by GCE Mexico I, LLC and were used to develop the Jatropha Farm. GCE Mexico’s limited partners have contributed a total of $4,619,214 to GCE Mexico I, LLC through September 30, 2009. As the owner of common membership interests, the Company is not required to make any capital contributions to GCE Mexico I, LLC.

Effective July 2, 2009, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Technology Alternatives Limited, a company formed under the laws of Belize (“TAL”), from its four shareholders. TAL owns and operates a 400-acre farm in subtropical Belize, Central America, which currently is producing Jatropha. TAL also has been performing plant science research and has been providing technical advisory services for propagation of Jatropha for a number of years. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, in consideration for the purchase of all of the shares of TAL, (i) promissory notes were issued by TAL to the four former owners as evidence of its indebtedness to them in the aggregate amount of $516,139 Belize Dollars (US $268,036 based on exchange rates in effect at July 2, 2009), and (ii) an aggregate of 8,952,757 unregistered shares of our common stock were issued to the four former owners. The entire outstanding balance of the promissory notes mature six months following the consummation of the transaction. We currently do not have the funds to pay the full amount of the promissory note that we delivered to the sellers of TAL. Since the TAL promissory notes is secured by a mortgage on the 400 acre farm, our failure to pay this note upon its maturity could result in the loss of that farm and our investment in the Belizean Jatropha farm.

Inflation and changing prices have had no effect on our continuing operations over our two most recent fiscal years.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive and financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based upon our evaluation, we also concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On November 16, 2009 Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI Oncology, Inc., entered into a Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement with Curadis Gmbh, a German company, for the sale the intellectual property and all contractual and other rights we acquired in March 2005 from Savetherapeutics, including substantially all of the intellectual property associated with the patents, patent applications, pre-clinical study data and ancillary clinical trial data concerning “SaveCream”, a developmental topical aromatase inhibitor cream.

The agreement with Curadis GmbH calls for the payment of 350,000 Euros, 50,000 of which we have already received, and the remaining 300,000 Euros due at closing, the assumption of certain liabilities (including in particular our 1,850,000 Euro obligation to the liquidator of Savetherapeutics), and a revenue sharing/royalty arrangement under which Curadis has agreed to pay up to 2 million Euros from the sale of products or from licensing fees received by Curadis. These royalty and other payments will be payable only if and when any pharmaceutical products are ever commercialized or licensed. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the transaction by the liquidator or Savetherapeutics, and no assurance can be given that the closing will occur. The closing is scheduled to occur prior to year end. If any pharmaceutical products are ever commercialized or licensed, and if as a result we receive the entire 2,000,000 Euro payment, the entire transaction will be valued at 4.2 million Euros. Although we are hopeful that some pharmaceutical products will be commercialized from the technologies we sold to Curadis GmbH, no assurance can be given if or when any additional consideration will be paid to the Company after the closing. As collateral for its contingent obligation to pay us up to 2,000,000 Euros in royalties and other payments in the future from the commercialization of the technology, Curadis has agreed to grant us a first lien on the patents and other properties we may sell to Curadis.
