Description of Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended August 31, 2010:

 

On November 24, 2010, Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).  This Amendment No. 1 to the 2010 Form 10-K is being filed solely to correct the consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 included in the 2010 Form 10-K.  The balance sheets included in the 2010 Form 10-K contained a numerical error that occurred during the process of preparing the 2010 Form 10-K for electronic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The error was not reflected in the 2010 Form 10-K that was delivered to the Company’s shareholders.

 

In the balance sheets included in the 2010 Form 10-K, total assets as of August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were stated as $192,065,062, $179,789,946, and $176,903,727, respectively.  Correct assets as of August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $197,065,062, $179,883,895 and $177,062,902, respectively.  All other balance sheet amounts are correct as stated in the 2010 Form 10-K.  In Part IV of this Amendment No. 1, the Company is including its consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 that reflect the corrected total assets.

 

This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2010 Form 10-K and, other than the filing of the aforementioned balance sheets, does not amend, modify or update the disclosure in the 2010 Form 10-K in any way.
