Item 4.02.              Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

(a)  In connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s review of the Form 10-K of South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Commission raised questions regarding whether the independence of the Registrant’s former auditor, Eide Bailly, LLP, was compromised with respect to its review of the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, and its audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.  Following communication with the Commission regarding the application of the independence rules in effect at the time, the Company agreed to comply with the Commission’s request to amend its SEC filings to include re-audited and re-reviewed financial statements for the above periods.

 

The Company’s new auditor, Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP, has completed its audit of the Company’s financial statements for the above period and on November 9, 2005, delivered to the Company its signed audit report, dated as of September 30, 2005, which is being filed with the Commission on Form 10-K/A contemporaneously with the filing of this report.  No restatement of the Company’s previously filed financial statements for such periods was required as a result of such subsequent audit. Therefore, as of the date of this report and the contemporaneous filing of the Company’s Form 10-K/A, pursuant to the authority granted to them by the Company’s Board of Managers, the Company’s CEO and CFO have made the determination that the Company’s financial statements, interim review and audit report for such periods, as amended and on file with the Commission, may be relied upon.
