Mr. Hyde’s signature on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011, was omitted and his certifications on Exhibit 31.2 and 32.2 did not reflect his dual position as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Mr. Hyde’s signature is now included in the signature block below, in his dual position as chief financial officer and principal accounting officer, and his certifications are amended in Exhibit 31.2 and 32.2 to reflect Mr. Hyde’s dual role as our principal financial and accounting officer. In addition, the signed report of our independent accounting firm, Eide Bailly LLP, regarding our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, is included in Part I, Item 1, page 4, below.
 
This Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after May 16, 2011, the date upon which the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the initial filing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Managers
South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC
Volga, South Dakota

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (the “Company”), as of March 31, 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 30, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

NOTE 1 -  PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 reflect, in the opinion of management of South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (the “Company”, “LLC”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year due in part to the seasonal nature of some of the Company’s businesses. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. The effects of all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 2 -  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are considered past due when payments are not received on a timely basis in accordance with the Company’s credit terms.  Accounts considered uncollectible are written off.  The Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical experience, its evaluation of the current status of receivables, and unusual circumstances, if any.

The Company entered into an agreement as of August 12, 2010 with CoBank to amend and restate its Master Loan Agreement (MLA), which includes both the revolving term loan and the seasonal loan discussed in Note 4.  Under the terms and conditions of the MLA, CoBank agreed to make advances to the Company for up to $16,800,000 on the revolving term loan. The available commitment decreases in scheduled periodic increments of $1,300,000 every six months starting September 20, 2011 until maturity on September 20, 2017.  The principal balance outstanding on the revolving term loan was $15,342,200 and $13,879,200 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  There was $1,457,800 of remaining commitments available to borrow on the revolving term loan as of March 31, 2011.

Under this agreement, the Company is subject to compliance with standard financial covenants and the maintenance of certain financial ratios.  The Company is in violation of one of its loan covenants with CoBank as of March 31, 2011.  The loan covenant requires the Company to maintain a minimum working capital of $7.5 million at fiscal year-end (December 31 st ) and $7.0 million at the end of each other period for which financial statements are to be furnished.  At March 31, 2011, working capital computed per the agreement with CoBank was approximately $5.4 million.  On May 12, 2011 CoBank granted a waiver of this working capital requirement provided that working capital does not go below $4.75 million.

The minimum principal payments on long-term debt obligations, assuming the Company will advance the remaining amounts available on the revolving term loan, are expected to be as follows:

NOTE 6 -  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging requires enhanced disclosures about how these instruments and activities affect the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The guidance requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements as a means of managing exposure to changes in commodity prices.  The Company’s derivative instruments primarily consist of commodity futures, options and forward contracts.  Although these contracts may be effective economic hedges of specified risks, they are not designated as, nor accounted for, as hedging instruments.  These contracts are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value as discussed in Note 7, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the value of the Company’s open futures, options and forward contracts was approximately $254,229 and $(803,242), respectively.

NOTE 7 -  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements.  Specifically, this guidance establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs.  The adoption of ASC 820 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The three levels of hierarchy and examples are as follows

 
·
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange and commodity derivative contracts listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”).
 
·
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity prices using forward future prices.
 
·
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date.  The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.

The following tables set forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the respective levels to which fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value.  The interest rates on the long-term debt are similar to rates the Company would be able to obtain currently in the market.

The Company enters into various commodity derivative instruments, including futures, options, swaps and other agreements.  The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivatives is determined using unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments on the CME.  The Company estimates the fair market value of their finished goods and raw materials inventories using the market price quotations of similar forward future contracts listed on the CME and adjusts for the local market adjustments derived from other grain terminals in our area.

The Company has patronage investments in other cooperatives and common stock in a privately held entity.  There is no market for their patronage credits or the entity’s common shares, and it is impracticable to estimate fair value of the Company’s investments.  These investments are carried on the balance sheet at original cost plus the amount of patronage earnings allocated to the Company, less any cash distributions received.

NOTE 8 -  COMMITMENTS

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had unpaid commitments of approximately $300,000 for construction and acquisition of property and equipment, all of which is expected to be incurred by May 2011.

NOTE 9 -  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company organizes its business units into two reportable segments: soybean processing and polyurethane.  Separate management of each segment is required because each segment is subject to different marketing, production, and technology strategies.  The soybean processing segment purchases soybeans and processes them in primarily three products: soybean meal, oil and hulls.  The polyurethane segment manufactures a soy-based polyol, which is called Soyol ® , and its resin system and sells them to the polyurethane industry.  The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting polices.  Market prices are used to report intersegment sales.

Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
