ITEM 4.02                                    NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.

On February 8, 2013, the management of Heron Lake BioEnergy, LLC (the “Company) recommended and jointly with the Company’s Audit Committee determined that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2012 (“Form 10-Q”) contained an error relating to revenue recognition and should no longer be relied upon.  The joint determination of the Audit Committee and management was made in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Boulay, Heutmaker, Zibell & Co. P.L.L.P. (“Boulay”).  The error related to the recording of revenue under the Company’s marketing agreement with Gavilon, LLC.  The Company erroneously priced certain sales transactions related to both ethanol and distillers grains sales whereby revenue was understated.  Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2012 is $41,908,904 after the restatement as compared to $40,971,734 as reported in the Form 10-Q.  The Company will file as promptly as possible an amended Form 10-Q containing restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2012, as well as related restated financial and other disclosures.

The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Boulay, which has also been provided a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
