Item 2.03                      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Effective as of February 9, 2011, Applied Natural Gas Fuels, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) entered into a Multiple Advance Promissory Note (and related Accounts Receivable Security Agreement) with First Community Financial (“FCF”), a division of Pacific Western Bank (the “FCF Note”). The FCF Note is a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) in the principal amount of up to $2,500,000 which accrues interest annually at a rate equal to the greater of 8.00% per annum or the sum of 4.75% per annum plus the prime rate announced by JP Morgan Chase Bank from time to time.  The FCF Note is secured by a senior secured interest in our accounts receivable and inventory and provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable.

The terms of the Facility are subject to a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a net worth of at least  $8,000,000, and certain operational covenants that may limit the amount otherwise available to us under the Facility if specified conditions constituting a “Material Impairment” occur, including, among others, a material reduction in the value of the collateral or rate of collections, the use by the Company of substantial cash flow other than in its core business or if the Company incurs losses from operations that exceed designated levels.

The Facility has a term of two (2) years and will automatically renew from year to year unless we or FCF gives the other at least thirty (30) days notice of termination prior to the anniversary date of the Accounts Receivable Security Agreement. The FCF Note matures (unless renewed) on the earlier of demand or February 8, 2013.

The co-borrowers under the Facility include: New Earth LNG, LLC; Arizona LNG, LLC.; Applied LNG Technologies, LLC.; and Fleet Star, Inc. As co-borrowers the accounts receivable of each are eligible for inclusion in the borrowing base, and all co-borrowers will be responsible for repayment of the FCF Note.

Certain of the proceeds made available through the Facility have been used by us to fully retire the outstanding Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note (and related Security Agreement) of Greenfield Commercial Credit, LLC.

The descriptions of the Accounts Receivable Security Agreement and FCF Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
