To Our Shareholders:


This letter is intended to serve as: (a) a general update to the shareholders of Xtreme Green Products, Inc. (OTCBB: XTRG), and (b) instructions for depositing your stock certificates with the brokerage firm of your choice.


A.

General Update


Xtreme Green Products, Inc. has experienced strong annual growth since becoming a public company in late 2008.  Between 2009 and 2010, the company grew revenues at a rate of 33%.  As we made concerted efforts to field test, prove, and improve the quality and selection of vehicles with our early customers during 2009 & 2010, resulting sales increased dramatically.  Our original customers have become repeat customers with larger orders, and we are quickly attracting new customers in the commercial, government, and retail sectors.  As a result, revenues for the first half of 2011 are up almost 930% compared to revenues for the first half of 2010.  


To date in 2011, we have signed 6 new distribution agreements in the United States and overseas and now have geographic coverage amongst large auto and security equipment distributors in twenty-four states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean Islands, and Mexico.  In addition to our distributor-based sales agreements, we have relationships with 40 direct sales clients including municipalities, federal agencies, police departments, mining and farms.  


This growth comes at a challenging time for many small public companies.  Capital in the form of equity or debt is difficult to come by at a reasonable cost.  In order to support Xtreme Green’s future growth, the Company has recently executed a Letter of Engagement with a reputable investment bank to be the Company’s exclusive Placement Agent for a best-efforts capital raise of $5 million.  The raise will be in the form of a Private Placement, and should commence during the fourth quarter of 2011.


The information herein does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

Legend Removal & Certificate Deposit Instructions


Recently the Company was granted eligibility status by the Depository Trust Company, which enables trades in the Company’s securities to settle electronically.  Xtreme Green Products shareholders may now follow the instructions on the following page in order to get the restrictive legend removed from eligible stock certificates for those shares they want sold.  Once completed, shareholders will be able to deposit their stock certificates at the brokerage firm of their choice.  If you do not have the legend removed from your certificate, you will not be able to sell your stock publicly.  


If you do not have a brokerage firm of your choice, the following firms have offered to assist in the process.  Note that none of these firms are endorsed by us and we are not compensating any of them for their services.
