Successful alternative energy investor since 1998 Synfuel investments of $6M yielded ~$178M return over 10 years (~40% CAGR) Discontinued legacy retail operations in FY’09 to focus on alternative energy

Ethanol investments initiated in 2006 $24M profit in FY’07 on $14M early ethanol investment Alternative energy represented 99.8% of revenue and 84.1% of assets (4/30/13)

Ownership in seven ethanol production facilities In aggregate, 691.3 million gallons of TTM annualized gallons shipped by seven plants REX effective ownership interest of TTM annualized gallons shipped = 254.9 million gallons Revenues from ethanol, distillers grains & corn oil

Strong, liquid balance sheet (as of 4/30/13) (based on 8.2M diluted shares) Unrestricted cash $48.4M ~ $ 5.90/share Net book value of retail real estate $12.3M ~ $ 1.50/share Carrying value of ownership in seven plants $195.0M ~ $23.78/share REX shareholders’ book value $249.9M ~$30.47/share

ROE-focused asset allocation discipline 10.6% average ROE since 1993 (despite low returns on high cash balances) Long-term/active share repurchase program Insider ownership approximately 34%

Disciplined investment criteria Invest only if project meets strategic and financial risk and return criteria

Align with farmers, farm cooperatives and farming communities as co-investors and owners of ethanol production facilities Facilitates access to grain supply, local community support

Locate plants close to rail access and feedstocks

Utilize state-of-the-art ethanol production technology Dry mill corn-processing All plants are highly efficient Fagen, Inc. constructed utilizing ICM, Inc. technology

Fagen is large, respected U.S. green energy design-builder

Seek to match grain prices with ethanol and DDG sales at most plants Forward grain purchases and ethanol sales contracts generally two month duration Derivative contracts are generally not employed to hedge commodity price risks

Maximize ethanol plant returns via: Running plants efficiently, often above nameplate capacity Sale of dried (and wet) distillers grains (DDGs) as animal feed Production of corn oil

Ethanol Industry Considerations

8

The ethanol industry produced approximately 13.3 billion gallons of ethanol in 2012, thereby reducing U.S. reliance on foreign oil Helps U.S. balance of trade Helps U.S. move towards energy independence Over 450M barrels of imported oil displaced - $47B value in 2012*

Approximately 1/3 of corn used in ethanol production is returned to feed market in the form of distiller grains, corn gluten meal and corn oil*

National benefits Farmers require fewer government-sponsored price subsidies Land transitioned away from “land bank” Ethanol production generates higher tax revenues

Ethanol production added over $41B to GDP* Ethanol production increased household income by ~$29B*

Industry receives no tax subsidies Farm states are less impacted by challenged economic environment

Ethanol estimated to have supported over 365,000 jobs, including across ancillary industries, from agriculture to manufacturing to the service sector*

On a life cycle analysis basis, corn-based ethanol production and use reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from 30-50% compared to gasoline production and use.*

$8.0B paid in federal, state and local taxes.* Sources: * Renewable Fuels Associations

Ethanol Federal EPA ethanol purchasing mandates continue to rise (1) :

Year Target 2013 13.8 BGY2014 14.4 BGY2015 & beyond 15.0 BGY

Industry Nameplate Capacity Efficient plants expected to operate near capacity levels

Year Capacity 2013 14.8 BGY

Distillers Grains Rising corn prices have driven DDG pricing increases, helping

offset impact on crush spreads

Corn Oil Installed at REX’s two consolidated plants in Q1 FY’12 Two plants generated $17.7M of total revenues for TTM

Demand/Pricing Drivers

91Mandates can be partially met by use of available RINS from the prior years toward the current year requirements and/or to carry forward a deficit into the next compliance year.

Page 10: One Earth Energy, LLC Gibson City, IL

Crush Spread = price of 1 gallon of ethanol - cost of corn to produce it One bushel of corn makes ~2.8 gallons of ethanol Crush spread = Ethanol price – (Corn bushel price / 2.8)

Crush spread excludes other production, transportation costs, etc.

Dried distillers grains (DDGs) pricing supplements and, at times, offsets weaker crush spreads REX’s average realized DDG prices per quarter are reflected on green line below

Calculated using CBOT monthly average prices10
