NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Western Dubuque Biodiesel, LLC located in Farley, Iowa was organized on November 14, 2005 to own and operate a 30 million gallon annual production biodiesel plant for the production of fuel grade biodiesel. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below:

Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements

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

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the financial statements included herein without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, all adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s operating results. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the production of biodiesel and related products is recognized upon shipment to customers or under the terms of a tolling service agreement. Revenue is recorded upon the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership and delivery to customers. Interest income is recognized as earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its accounts primarily at one financial institution. At times during the year, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Restricted Cash

The Company is required to maintain cash balances to be held at a bank as a part of their financing agreement as described in Note 4.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through provisions charged against income and is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated bad debts based on historical experience and current economic conditions. Management believes all receivables will be collected and therefore the allowance has been established to be $-0- and $-0- at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

WESTERN DUBUQUE BIODIESEL, LLC
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

Account balances with invoices past stated terms are considered delinquent. No interest is charged on trade receivables with past due balances. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the customer’s total balances.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Topic 815 of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Derivatives and Hedging, requires a company to evaluate its contracts to determine whether the contracts are derivatives. Certain contracts that literally meet the definition of a derivative may be exempted from ASC 815 as normal purchases or normal sales. Normal purchases and normal sales are contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of something other than a financial instrument or derivative instrument that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold over a reasonable period in the normal course of business. Contracts that meet the requirements of normal sales are documented as such, and exempted from the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 815. The Company has entered into agreements to purchase feedstocks for anticipated production needs. These contracts are considered normal purchase contracts and exempted from ASC 815.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Significant additions are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations when incurred.

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets determined as follows:


	Years

Land improvements		20 – 40
Office equipment		5 – 10
Office building		30
Plant and process equipment		10 – 40
Vehicles		5 – 7

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,090,808 and $1,095,200, respectively.

The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when the sum of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of the loss is determined by comparing the fair market value of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset.

Loan Origination Fees

Loan origination fees are stated at cost and will be amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the loan agreements. Amortization commenced as the Company borrowed funds on the loans. Amortization for each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $47,580 and $47,579, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is organized as a limited liability company under state law and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Under this type of organization, the Company’s earnings pass through to the partners and are taxed at the partner level. Accordingly, no income tax provision has been calculated. Differences between financial statement basis of assets and tax basis of assets is related to capitalization and amortization of organization and start-up costs for tax purposes, whereas these costs are expensed for financial statement purposes. Differences also exist in the treatment of expenses capitalized for inventory for tax purposes, prepaid expenses and differences between depreciable lives and methods used for book and tax purposes.

WESTERN DUBUQUE BIODIESEL, LLC
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

Income/Loss Per Unit

Income/Losses per unit are calculated based on the period of time units have been issued and outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per capital unit, units subscribed for but not issued are included in the computation of outstanding capital units based on the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there was not a difference between basic and diluted earnings per unit as there were no units subscribed.

Cost of Sales

The primary components of cost of sales from the production of biodiesel products are raw materials (feedstocks, hydrochloric acid, methanol, and other catalysts), energy (natural gas and electricity), labor and depreciation on process equipment.

Under the tolling services agreements, the feedstock inputs are generally provided by the buyer. Primary components of cost of sales under the tolling services agreements are other raw material costs (hydrochloric acid, methanol, and other catalysts), energy (natural gas and electricity), labor and depreciation on process equipment.

Fixed costs during the periods when the plant is idle are classified in cost of sales. Cost of sales when the plant is idled primarily consisted of labor, depreciation on process equipment, and other indirect costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales.

Environmental Liabilities

The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws require the Company to investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at its location. Accordingly, the Company has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, occupational health, and the production, handling, storage and use of hazardous materials to prevent material, environmental or other damage and to limit the financial liability which could result from such events. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the liability is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

Current assets and current liabilities — The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

Long-term debt — The carrying amount of long-term obligations approximated fair value based on estimated interest rates for comparable debt.

Insurance Proceeds

The Company received insurance proceeds of $214,608 due to a pump failure resulting in significant downtime. Insurance paid for a replacement pump and ten days of downtime.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 amends FASB ASC 310 to require additional disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 defines two levels of disaggregation — portfolio segment and class of financing receivables — and amends existing disclosure requirements to include information about the credit quality of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses at a greater level of disaggregation. It also requires disclosures on credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of financing receivables by class of financing receivables and significant purchases and sales by portfolio segment. The new disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, or December 31, 2010 for the Company. The new disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, or three months ending March 31, 2011 for the Company. ASU 2010-20 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In January 2011 ASU 2010-20 was amended to delay the effective date until after June 15, 2011.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-4 to amend Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively for public entities and effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-4 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 — INCENTIVE PAYMENTS AND RECEIVABLE

Revenue from federal incentive programs is recorded when the Company has sold blended biodiesel and satisfied the reporting requirements under the applicable program. When it is uncertain that the Company will receive full allocation and payment due under the federal incentive program, it derives an estimate of the incentive revenue for the relevant period based on various factors including the most recently used payment factor applied to the program. The estimate is subject to change as management becomes aware of increases or decreases in the amount of funding available under the incentive programs or other factors that affect funding or allocation of funds under such programs.

The Company receives federal incentive revenues from the Biodiesel Blender’s Tax Credit and Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Bioenergy Programs. The blender’s tax credit expired on December 31, 2009, and was reinstated in December 2010 and made retroactive for 2010. There were no incentive revenues recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The amount of incentives receivable was $-0- and $-0- as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Long-term portion	$	—	$	—

Debt has been classified as current because of lack of compliance with covenants as described below.

On July 5, 2006, the Company entered into a $35,500,000 loan agreement with Marshall BankFirst, and in July 2009, the loan agreement was acquired by Beal Bank. The loan commitment was the lesser of $35,500,000 or sixty one percent of total project costs. The loan term is seventy-four months which consists of the construction phase and a term phase. The construction phase ended March 1, 2008 and the term phase commenced thereafter. Monthly interest payments were required during the construction phase with monthly interest and principal required during the term phase to be based on a ten year principal amortization. Monthly payments of $339,484 including interest at a variable rate commenced March 1, 2008 under the term phase with the remaining principal and interest due at maturity, January 1, 2013. The agreement was amended and monthly payments were reduced to $150,000 beginning in November 2009 and continuing until November 2010. The loan commitment also includes a provision for additional payments during the term phase, based on one-third of all monthly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) remaining after the regularly scheduled principal and interest payments have been paid in full. The agreement also includes provisions for reserve funds for capital improvements, working capital, and debt service.

As of June 30, 2011, balances of $354,708 and $52,221 remain in the debt service reserve and capital reserve funds as restricted cash. During the term phase, the Company has the option of selecting an interest rate at 25 basis points over the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal or 300 basis points over the five-year LIBOR/Swap Curve rate. On March 1, 2008, upon commencement of the term phase the Company selected the variable rate option of 25 basis points over the prime rate (3.50% at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010). The notes are secured by essentially all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is to adhere to certain financial covenants. The Company is to adhere to minimum debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage, and current ratio requirements, as well as a maximum debt as a percentage of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio. The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The Company has been awarded $400,000 from the Iowa Department of Economic Development consisting of a $300,000 zero interest deferred loan and a $100,000 forgivable loan. The zero interest deferred loan requires sixty monthly installments of $5,000 beginning December 2006. In January 2007, the zero interest deferred loan was amended, and deferred monthly installments until August 2007, with remaining principal due at maturity, May 2012. The Company must satisfy the terms of the agreement, which include producing 30,000,000 gallons of biodiesel and wage and job totals, to receive a permanent waiver of the forgivable loan. The loan is secured by a security agreement including essentially all of the Company’s assets.

June 30, 2011

The Company had issued a $116,132 letter of credit through American Trust Bank in favor of Black Hills Energy (previously Aquila, Inc.). The letter of credit was effective for the period February 6, 2007 through February 6, 2010. The letter of credit expired in February 2010 and the Company placed funds on deposit with Black Hills Energy. The deposit is to be adjusted annually based on volume used.

During 2010 the Company entered into a financing agreement with a related party to produce a specified number of biodiesel gallons and finance the feedstock purchases (See Note 7). The agreement called for specified fees based on gallons produced and interest on feedstock purchased. Interest was payable monthly at the prime rate plus 4.0% (7.25% at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010). Outstanding borrowings and fees under this agreement are payable upon sale of the biodiesel. There was no outstanding balance under this agreement as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. The agreement was secured by feedstock and biodiesel inventory. Upon the sale of biodiesel, credit may be extended when a new agreement is entered. As part of the agreement, the Company was required to hedge 85% of the biodiesel gallons produced. During 2010 the Company was not in compliance with these terms due to a pending sale with REG which was not finalized until October 2010. The Company obtained a waiver for this violation. This agreement expired in 2011.

NOTE 5 — MEMBERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s operating agreement provides that the net profits or losses of the Company will be allocated to the members in proportion to the membership units held. Members will not have any right to take part in the management or control of the Company. Each membership unit entitles the member to one vote on any matter which the member is entitled to vote. Transfers of membership units are prohibited except as provided for under the operating agreement and require approval of the board of directors.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s general contractor (Renewable Energy Group, LLC) entered into an agreement to construct the plant. On July 31, 2006, the general contractor formed a new related entity called Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REG, Inc.). The new entity, REG, Inc. is contracted to provide the management and operational services for the Company. On August 9, 2006, REG, LLC assigned its construction agreement to the newly formed entity REG, Inc., which became the general contractor.

The Company entered into an agreement with REG, Inc. to provide certain management and operational services. The agreement provides for REG, Inc. to place a general manager and operations manager, acquire substantially all feed stocks and basic chemicals necessary for production, and perform substantially all the sales and marketing functions for the Company. The agreement with REG, Inc. requires a per gallon fee, paid monthly, based on the number of gallons of biodiesel produced or sold. In addition, REG will be paid an annual bonus based on a percentage of the plant’s profitability with such bonus not to exceed $1,000,000 per year.

On June 5, 2009, the Company received from REG, Inc., a notice of termination of its management and operational services agreement. The notification from REG, Inc. states that it shall constitute such twelve month advance termination notice required by the terms of the agreement. The Company and REG, Inc. were operating under an amended management and operational services agreement dated November 25, 2009. The management and operational services agreement expired on August 1, 2010.

The agreement called for specified fees based on gallons produced and interest on feedstock purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company purchased feedstocks and incurred fees plus interest of $0 and $6,375,202, respectively. During 2010, the Company entered into a short-term financing arrangement with this related company to finance biodiesel production and feedstock purchases (Note 4). As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no payables to this related party. This financing agreement expired in 2011.

A member of the board of directors is also a member of the board of directors of the Company’s depository bank.

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has received refunds from an industrial new jobs training program. The Company funds the program through diverting their state payroll tax withholdings. In the event these withholdings aren’t enough to cover the bond payments, the Company will need to advance the funds to cover the program costs. As of June 30, 2011, there was a total of $364,902 committed under the program of which $208,553 remained to be covered by future state payroll tax withholdings.

In June 2007, the Company entered into a water use agreement with the City of Farley. The agreement requires a minimum usage of 50,000 gallons per day over the life of the agreement, which expires 2026. At June 30, 2011, the remaining estimated minimum cost under the agreement was $582,560. The following is a schedule of future minimum costs under the agreement as of June 30, 2011:


2012	$	34,345
2013		36,548
2014		36,548
2015		36,548
2016		36,548
Thereafter		402,024


Total	$	582,560

Water usage costs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $24,407 and $20,537, respectively.

During 2011, the Company entered into a buy/sell agreement with an unrelated party to produce a specified number of biodiesel gallons and finance the feedstock purchases. The agreement calls for specified fees based on gallons produced. The Company purchases necessary feedstock from the customer and payment is made when the biodiesel is sold. The amount payable under this agreement as of June 30, 2011 was $3,729,388. The purchase contract guarantees a specified margin for biodiesel produced thru year-end subject to a 90 day cancellation notice terminating December 31, 2011.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company adopted ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This guidance was intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) as a means of managing exposure to changes in biodiesel prices and feedstock costs under established procedures and controls. The company has established a variety of approved derivative instruments to be utilized in each risk management program, as well as varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk factors related to each hedging program. As part of its trading activity, the Company uses option and swap contracts offered through regulated commodity exchanges to reduce risk and is exposed to risk of loss in the market value of biodiesel inventories and input costs.

June 30, 2011

Commodity Risk Management

Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of feedstocks and biodiesel prices. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with feedstocks and commodity exposures. There were no derivative commodity instruments open at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All derivatives are designated as non-hedge derivatives. Although the contracts may be effective economic hedges of specified risks, they do not meet the hedge accounting criteria of ASC 815. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no net derivative liabilities or assets related to these instruments.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net realized and unrealized losses on derivative transactions were recognized in the statement of operations as follows:

NOTE 10 — LIQUIDITY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company generated net income of $608,447. We are not guaranteed similar results in the future since the sales contract could be terminated within 90 days due to volatile and uncertain conditions. The Federal blender’s credit expired on December 31, 2009 until December 2010, when it was reinstated retro actively for 2010. The credit is set to expire on December 31, 2011. The elimination or reduction in the credit may materially impair the Company’s ability to profitably produce and sell biodiesel. In an effort to increase profit margins and reduce losses, the Company anticipates producing biodiesel from refined animal fats, canola oil and soybean oil to lower input costs. The Company also plans to seek to produce biodiesel on a toll basis where biodiesel would be produced using raw materials provided by someone else. Finally, the Company plans to scale back on its production or temporarily shut down the biodiesel plant depending on the Company’s cash situation and its ability to purchase raw materials to operate the plant.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

The Company has also undertaken significant borrowings to finance the construction of its biodiesel plant. The loan agreements with the Company’s lender contain restrictive covenants, which require the Company to maintain minimum levels of working capital, and minimum financial ratios including; debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage and debt as a percentage of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The Company was not in compliance with certain restrictive covenants at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and it is projected the Company will fail to comply with one or more loan covenants, including the working capital covenant throughout the Company’s 2011 fiscal year. This raises significant doubt about whether the Company will continue as a going concern. These loan covenant violations constitute an event of default under the Company’s loan agreements which, at the election of the lender, could result in the acceleration of the unpaid principal loan balance and accrued interest under the loan agreements or the loss of the assets securing the loan in the event the lender elected to foreclose its lien or security interest in such assets. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to comply with the loan covenants and the lender’s willingness to waive any non-compliance with such covenants.

Management anticipates that if additional capital is necessary to comply with its loan covenants or to otherwise fund operations, the Company may issue additional membership units through one or more private placements. However, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to raise the desired capital.

NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Overview

Western Dubuque Biodiesel, LLC (“we” or “us”) was formed on November 14, 2005 as an Iowa limited liability company. We own and operate a 30 million gallon per year biodiesel production plant in Farley, Dubuque County, Iowa and produce and sell biodiesel and its primary co-product, glycerin. We began producing biodiesel on August 1, 2007, but we have historically operated at less than our capacity due to such factors as high feedstock prices and lack of demand for biodiesel. For the three months covered by this report, we produced 6,190,892 gallons of biodiesel and generated net income of $1,336,836. As of the date of this report, we are producing biodiesel under a short-term “master netting agreement” which incorporates a feedstock purchase agreement and biodiesel sales agreement.

We anticipate that lack of demand for biodiesel will continue into our 2011 fiscal year due to uncertainty surrounding the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS and RFS2) and the biodiesel tax credit known as the blenders’ credit. The blenders’ credit is $1.00 per gallon of biodiesel blended and allows biodiesel to be more competitive with petroleum diesel. The credit initially expired on December 31, 2009. As a result, demand for biodiesel was drastically reduced in 2010, and many producers, including us, reduced or stopped production. In December 2010, the credit was reinstated and made retroactive to January 1, 2010 and will again expire on December 31, 2011. It remains uncertain whether the one-year extension of the blenders’ credit for will be sufficient to stimulate demand for biodiesel, and whether the credit will be renewed after December 31, 2011. In addition, application of the RFS2 has remained unclear. To the extent RFS2 and the blenders’ credit are not swiftly and effectively implemented, or if either of these supports expire or are terminated, we will likely continue to experience lack of demand and instability in our business.

We continue to seek and negotiate arrangements with large companies such as Gavilon, ADM and Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REG) to provide us feedstock or financing to purchase feedstock. Without such arrangements, we do not currently have sufficient working capital to purchase feedstock for production and hold biodiesel until it can be sold. We are currently producing biodiesel under a binding master netting arrangement. However, since the master netting arrangement allows early termination upon relatively short notice, it must be considered a short term arrangement. If we are unable to retain this agreement or replace it with a similar arrangement, we anticipate we would have operating interruptions throughout the remainder of our 2011 fiscal year and into 2012 because of our liquidity position and the lack of demand for biodiesel.

We are currently out of compliance with all of the financial covenants of our loan agreement with our primary lender, Beal Bank Nevada (Beal Bank), and we anticipate that we will be out of compliance with such covenants during at least the rest of 2011. Our net losses, lack of a long-term relationship with a product marketer, our failure to satisfy our loan covenants and the uncertainty of important federal biodiesel supports have raised doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

The following table shows the results of our operations and the percentage of revenues, cost of sales, operating expenses and other items in relation to total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended
	Jun 30, 2011						June 30, 2010
	(Unaudited)						(Unaudited)

Net Income (Loss)	$	1,336,836			6.36	%	$	(400,618	)		186.41	%

Revenues

Revenues from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $21,032,641. Our revenues were significantly higher than revenues for the same period in 2010 because we sold much less biodiesel during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 due to the expiration of the blenders’ credit and unfavorable market conditions.

Average B100 biodiesel prices for Iowa, as reported by the USDA National Weekly Ag Energy Round Up, for the week of July 29, 2011 increased sharply to $5.25 — $5.61, compared to $3.15 - $3.30 for the same week in 2010. High fuel prices are attributed to instability in the Middle East and other economic factors. However, diesel fuel prices per gallon remain lower than biodiesel prices, which makes it difficult for us to sell our product. We expect these trends to continue into 2011. Management anticipates that there may be increased demand for biodiesel under the EPA’s final RFS2 regulations discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K. There can be no assurance, however, that the RFS2 will increase demand for biodiesel, and any increase may be offset by the loss of the biodiesel blenders’ credit. If we cannot sell our biodiesel at acceptable prices for sustained periods, we expect continued temporary shutdowns, and we may have to shut down the plant permanently.

Industry-wide factors affect our operating and financial performance. Our operating results are largely driven by the prices at which we sell our biodiesel and glycerin, feedstock costs and other operating costs. In addition, our revenues are impacted by such factors as our dependence on one or a few major customers to market and distribute our products; the intensely competitive nature of our industry; the extensive environmental laws that regulate our industry; legislation at the federal, state and local level; and changes in biodiesel supports and incentives.

Cost of Sales

The primary components of cost of sales from biodiesel production are raw materials (feedstock; hydrochloric acid; methanol; and sodium methylate), energy (natural gas and electricity), labor and depreciation on process equipment. Costs of sales for the three-month period ending June 30, 2011 were significantly higher than sales for the same period in 2010, primarily due to increased production.

Our plant can produce biodiesel from refined animal fats and crude and refined vegetable oils (such as soybean oil). Corn oil and raw or crude animal fats must be refined before we process them at our plant. Soybean oil prices remain high in comparison to prices at which we can sell our biodiesel. Jacobsen Publishing Company reported that the central Illinois soybean oil price for August 1, 2011 was $0.6153 per pound, as compared to $0.39.44 per pound for the same time in 2010. Our ability to use feedstock other than soybean oil and refined animal fats depends on whether we can gain access to a consistent feedstock supply at competitive prices and obtain feedstock that has been pretreated for use at our plant if necessary. Moreover, we do not currently have sufficient working capital to purchase feedstock for production and hold biodiesel until it can be sold. Therefore, if we cannot obtain adequate feedstock through tolling or financing arrangements, we expect temporary shutdowns to continue, and we may have to shut down the plant permanently.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $259,018 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $122,683 for the same period in 2010. Our operating expenses are primarily consulting and professional fees and office and administrative expenses. We expect that our operating expenses will be less in future periods if our reclassification and deregistration is approved, since we would not be required to incur expenses related to preparing and filing reports with the SEC. (See “Part II. Item 5. Other Information” for more information regarding the reclassification.)

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income and expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was expense of $8,618, which primarily consisted of interest expense of $225,465, partially offset by insurance proceeds of $214,608 related to a replacement pump and 10 days of downtime. We expect that our interest expense in future periods will be consistent; however, we do not expect we will have additional insurance proceeds in future periods to offset such interest expense.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

The following table shows the results of our operations and the percentage of revenues, costs of goods sold, operating expenses and other items in relation to total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2011						Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
	(Unaudited)						(Unaudited)
Income Statement Data	Amount			Percent			Amount			Percent
Revenues	$	24,995,126			100.00	%	$	214,913			100.00	%
Cost of Sales		23,697,635			94.81	%		1,164,158			541.69	%

Gross Profit (Loss)		1,297,491			5.19	%		(949,245	)		(441.69	)%
Operating Expenses		452,975			1.81	%		263,482			122.60	%
Other Income (Expense)		(236,068	)		(0.94	)%		(596,894	)		(277.74	)%

Net Income (Loss)	$	608,447			2.43	%	$	(1,809,621	)		(842.02	)%

Revenues

Our revenues are significantly higher in the six months ended June 30, 2011 than the same period in 2010, primarily due to selling more biodiesel in 2011.

Cost of Sales

We sold significantly more biodiesel in the first six months of 2011, and our costs of sales for the period are substantially more than our costs of sales for the same period in 2010, due primarily to increased production.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses were $452,975 and $263,482 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our operating expenses are primarily due to expenses for consulting and professional fees and office and administrative expenses. We expect that our operating expenses will be less in future periods if our reclassification and deregistration is approved, since we would not be required to incur expenses related to preparing and filing reports with the SEC. (See “Part II. Item 5. Other Information” for more information regarding the reclassification.)

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was expense of $236,068, which primarily consisted of interest expense of $455,804, partially offset by insurance proceeds of $214,608 related to a replacement pump and 10 days of downtime. We expect that our interest expense in future periods will be consistent; however, we do not expect we will have additional insurance proceeds in future periods to offset such interest expense.

Changes in Financial Condition for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

The following table sets forth our sources of liquidity at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Current Assets	$	6,715,760	$	2,770,835
Current Liabilities	$	26,426,761	$	24,228,670
Total Members Equity	$	13,662,210	$	13,053,762

Current Assets

The increase in current assets is primarily due to an increase in inventory (primarily raw material and work in progress).

Current Liabilities

Our long-term debt is classified as a current liability due to our failure to meet the financial covenants under our term loan. These loan covenant violations constitute an event of default under our loan agreement, which, at our lender’s election, could result in the acceleration of the unpaid principal loan balance and accrued interest or a loss of the assets securing the loan if the lender elects to foreclose the loan.

The increase in our current liabilities is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable.

Members’ Equity

The change in members’ equity is due to a decrease in the accumulated deficit from $13,176,334 to $12,512,887 due to net income of $1,391,836.

Plan of Operations for the Next 12 Months

Plant Operations

For the three months covered by this report, we produced 6,190,892 gallons of biodiesel and generated net income of $1,391,836. As of the date of this report, we are producing biodiesel under a short-term master netting arrangement. In the event of termination of our current arrangement, we expect we would continue to seek similar arrangements. Management believes that our current arrangements are promising in that they have allowed us to increase our biodiesel production. Nonetheless, we expect to face continued liquidity issues as discussed throughout this report.

We are operating at reduced employment levels because the biodiesel plant is experiencing reduced production and shutdowns. The plant originally operated with 31 employees, over half of which were laid off. As of June 30, 2011, we have increased our staff to 15 full-time employees, including our general manager, Tom Brooks, and one part-time employee. We are seeking additional employees to assist with increased production. We currently do not have an operations manager.

Operating Budget and Financing of Plant Operations

We have exhausted the funds available under our debt facilities and do not have further commitments for funds from any lender. We do not believe that market conditions will be favorable for us to secure additional debt or equity financing during 2011. However, management continues to consider all opportunities to increase our liquidity, including through additional debt or equity financing and joint ventures or other arrangements with strategic business partners.

We anticipate that we will continue to employ our current production strategy over the next 12 months, producing biodiesel only when tolling arrangements or other arrangements allow us to maintain positive cash flows. However, our ability to do so depends on factors described throughout this report, many of which are outside of our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to finance our operations and service our debt, we may be forced to shut down the plant temporarily or permanently.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the production of biodiesel and related products is recorded upon transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership and delivery to customers. Interest income is recognized as earned.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC 815, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 133, requires a company to evaluate its contracts to determine whether the contracts are derivatives. Certain derivative contracts may be exempt under ASC 815 as normal purchases or normal sales, which are contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of something other than a financial instrument or derivative instrument that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold over a reasonable period in the normal course of business. Generally, our forward contracts related to the purchase of soybean oil feedstock and home heating oil contracts that correlate with feedstock are considered normal purchases and, therefore, are exempted from the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 815. Contracts related to exchange traded commodities are considered non-hedge transactions, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of cost of sales. We do not have any forward contracts for the period covered by this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash Flow from Operating Activities. We had net cash of $2,049,897 provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $6,269,489 used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This was due to increases in accounts payable and increases in inventory partially offset by decreases in incentives receivables.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $1,658,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $5,163,919 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash provided by financing in 2010 was due to the advances from Innovative Ag Services (IAS). Cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was less than in 2011 because our loan payments were temporarily reduced in 2010. Our agreement with IAS is expired as of the date of this report, and we are currently paying the full payments on our loan payments.

Sources of Funds

Equity Financing. We used all of the proceeds from our equity offerings to fund the plant construction and operations. We do not believe that market conditions will be favorable for us to secure additional equity financing for at least the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year. However, management continues to consider all opportunities to increase our liquidity, including through additional debt or equity financing and joint ventures or other arrangements with strategic business partners.

Debt Financing. In October 2006, we closed on our term loan with Marshall Bankfirst. In July 2009, state banking regulators shut down Marshall Bankfirst, and Beal Bank Nevada became our new lead lender. The loan documents we executed with our lender describe the requirements of our term loan in more detail. The loan term is seventy-four months, which consists of a construction phase and a term phase. The term phase commenced on March 1, 2008. We selected the variable rate option for the loan of 0.25% over the prime rate (3.50% at June 30, 2011). Monthly payments are $339,484 including interest at a variable rate. Payments are calculated in an amount necessary to amortize the principal amount of this note plus interest over a 10-year period. The remaining unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due in full on January 1, 2013. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on our term loan was $22,259,172. We have exhausted the funds available under our debt facilities and do not have further commitments for funds from any lender.

Our lender allowed us to make reduced payments on our term loan of $150,000 per month from November 2009 to November 2010. However, payments are now payable and applied according to the original terms of the loan agreement. We are currently discussing the possibility of further reduced payments with our lender, but we have not entered into any alternative agreements with regard to any future payments.

We executed a mortgage in favor of our lender creating a first lien on substantially all of our assets, including our real estate, plant, all personal property located on our property and our revenues and income. Due to our lender’s security interest in our assets, we cannot sell our assets without its permission, which could limit our operating flexibility. Additionally, our term loan agreement imposes various covenants upon us that may restrict our operating flexibility. The term loan requires us to: maintain up to $125,000 in a capital improvements reserve fund that we must replenish as we use these funds for capital improvement expenditures; maintain certain financial ratios; and obtain our lender’s permission before making any significant changes in our material contracts with third-party service providers. The term loan requires us to certify to our lender at intervals designated in the term loan that we are meeting the financial ratios required by the loan agreement.

We are not in compliance with all of the financial covenants in our loan agreement as of June 30, 2011, and management projects that we will fail to comply with one or more loan covenants through at least part of our 2011 fiscal year. Failure to comply with such covenants constitutes a default under our loan agreement. While we are in default, our lender may elect to take several actions, including, without limitation, acceleration of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest or foreclosure on its mortgage and security interest. Such actions could result in the loss of our assets and a permanent shutdown of our plant.

Although our lender has not elected to exercise its remedies as of the date of this report, it may do so in the future. Our lender has not provided us a waiver of our failure to satisfy the covenants or otherwise agreed not to take action. Our default has caused doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Government Programs and Grants. We have entered into a loan agreement with the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) for $400,000. This loan is part of the IDED’s Value Added Program and $100,000 of the loan is forgivable. As of June 30, 2011, we owe $165,000. The loan requires us to maintain production rates at our nameplate capacity and certain employment levels. Effective September 17, 2009, IDED agreed to amend the loan requirements to extend the project completion date and the project maintenance date. This means that beginning on May 31, 2011, we must have 30 full time employees and maintain those positions through May 31, 2013. Our failure to satisfy these requirements constitutes a default, and may result in acceleration of the loan, as well as partial or full repayment of the forgivable portion if IDED exercises the remedies available to it.

On July 1, 2009, the USDA preliminarily approved our application for financial assistance. If finalized as proposed, the arrangement would allow us to use a $10 million guarantee by the USDA to secure a new $20 million loan from a third-party lender, which we expect we would use to replace our existing debt financing. However, final approval and receipt of the funds is contingent upon several conditions, some of which are outside of our control. For example, we do not have an agreement with any third-party lender to lend us the funds. As a result, we may be unable to obtain third-party funding or satisfy the requirements for receipt of funds under the USDA guarantee.

Distribution to Unit Holders

As of June 30, 2011, our board of directors had not declared any distributions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Bruce Klostermann, along with our Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), George Davis, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011. Based on this review and evaluation, these officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the forms and rules of the SEC; and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred as of June 30, 2011, and there has been no change that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

None.


Item 1A.		Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company, and are therefore not required to provide the disclosures under this item.


Item 2.		Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.


Item 3.		Defaults upon Senior Securities

We are in default of the financial covenants contained in our term loan agreement with our lender. Our failure to comply with these covenants is an event of default, entitling our lender to exercise its remedies under the loan documents and applicable law, including, but not limited to, acceleration of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest and foreclosure of its mortgage and security interest. As of the date of this report, our lender has also chosen not to exercise its remedies. However, if we continue to be in default, our lender may not continue to forebear from exercising such additional remedies.


Item 4.		(Removed and Reserved)


Item 5.		Other Information

On April 4, 2011, the board of directors announced its intent to engage in a reclassification and reorganization of the Company’s membership units. The proposed transaction will provide for the reclassification of the Company’s membership units into three separate and distinct classes. All members will have the opportunity to vote on the decision to deregister. The board expects to hold a combined special member meeting and annual meeting on September 21, 2011. Before the meeting, members will receive a proxy statement announcing the meeting date and location and explaining the proposed amendments to the company’s operating agreement needed for the deregistration.

Based on the proposed meeting date of September 21, 2011, to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the meeting, member proposals must be submitted in writing to us by May 25, 2011 (approximately 120 days before the estimated date for the meeting). Proposals must comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding the inclusion of member proposals in the proxy materials. As the regulations make clear, submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in our proxy materials.

Members who intend to present a proposal at the meeting without including such proposal in the proxy statement must provide us notice of the proposal no later than August 7, 2011 (approximately 45 days before the estimated date for the meeting).

We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with the foregoing and other applicable requirements. We suggest that member proposals for the meeting be submitted by certified mail-return receipt requested or by other means which permits proof of the delivery date.
