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 recent review of the Form 10-K of South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (“SDSP”) for the year ended December 31, 2004, management has become aware of the Commission’s concern that the independence of Eide Bailly LLP (“Eide Bailly”), its independent auditor for the financial statement audit for the year ended December 31, 2003, may have been compromised, which would have disqualified Eide Bailly from performing SDSP’s audit for the year ended December 31, 2003. In consultation with Eide Bailly, management is currently reviewing the work that Eide Bailly did for SDSP during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the applicable rules regarding independence in existence at that time to determine whether Eide Bailly’s independence was compromised. While this review is pending, SDSP has determined that its previously issued financial statements and related audit report for the year ended December 31, 2003 should not be relied upon until such time as SDSP is able to determine whether such financial statements will need to be re-audited by its current independent auditors, Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP.
