Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) 

June 30, 2009

 

**1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES **

The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from audited financial statements.  The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC (the “Company”) reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of their financial position and results of operations and cash flows.  The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) are condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed on Form 10-K with the SEC.

*Nature of Business *

United Wisconsin Grain Producers LLC (a Wisconsin limited liability company) is a 60 million gallon per year ethanol plant located near the town of Friesland in the township of Randolph, Wisconsin.  During 2007, the Company substantially completed Phase I of an expansion project which increased the plant production capacity from the initial nameplate production capacity of 40 million gallons per year to 60 million gallons per year.  The Company sells its production of ethanol and distillers grains, a co-product of ethanol production, within the United States.

*Accounting Estimates *

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  The Company uses estimates and assumptions in accounting for the following significant matters, among others:  allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the valuation of derivatives, inventory, inventory purchase commitments, and long-lived asset impairments.  Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to our financial statements.  The Company periodically reviews estimates and assumptions, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which the revision is made.

*Revenue Recognition*

The Company generally sells ethanol and related products pursuant to marketing agreements.  Revenues from the production of ethanol and the related products are recorded when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Title is generally assumed by the buyer at the end of the Company’s shipping point.

In accordance with the Company’s agreements for the marketing and sale of ethanol and related products, marketing fees and commissions due to the marketers are deducted from the gross sales price as earned.  These fees and commissions are recorded net of revenues as they do not provide an identifiable benefit that is sufficiently separable from the sale of ethanol and related products. Shipping costs incurred by the Company in the sale of ethanol are not specifically identifiable and as a result, are recorded based on the net selling price reported to the Company from the marketer.  Shipping costs incurred by the Company in the sale of ethanol related products are included in cost of goods sold.

The Company records incentives received, if any, from federal and state programs related to the production of ethanol, as other income, when the Company has sold the ethanol and completed all the requirements of the applicable incentive program.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

*Derivative Instruments *

From time to time the Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge its exposures to commodity price fluctuations.  The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133,*Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  *(“SFAS No. 133”).  SFAS No. 133 requires the recognition of derivatives in the balance sheet and the measurement of these instruments at fair value.

**UNITED WISCONSIN GRAIN PRODUCERS, LLC**

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) 

June 30, 2009

In order for a derivative to qualify as a hedge, specific criteria must be met and appropriate documentation maintained.  Gains and losses from derivatives that do not qualify as hedges, or are undesignated, must be recognized immediately in earnings.  If the derivative does qualify as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will be either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivatives are recorded in revenue or cost of goods sold based on the commodity being hedged.

Additionally, SFAS No. 133 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 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.  Certain corn and distillers grains contracts that meet the requirements of normal purchases or sales are documented as normal and exempted from the accounting and reporting requirements of SFAS No. 133, and therefore, are not marked to market in the financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161,*Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FAS Statement No. 133*(“SFAS 161”).  This statement requires holders of derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses from derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  The Company adopted this statement effective in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  See further discussion in Note 4. 

*Fair Value of Financial Instruments*

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments.  The Company believes the carrying amount of the line of credit and fixed rate term loan approximates the fair value due to the minimal change in interest rates from the inception of the loans in April 2009.

**2. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

The Company has certain risks and uncertainties that it experiences during volatile market conditions such as what the Company experienced during 2008 and into 2009.  These volatilities can have a severe impact on operations.  The Company’s revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of ethanol and distillers grains to customers primarily located in the United States.  Corn for the production process is supplied to our plant primarily from local agricultural producers and from purchases on the open market.  Ethanol sales, average approximately 85% of total revenues and corn costs average approximately 75% of cost of goods sold. 

The Company’s operating and financial performance is largely driven by the prices at which it sells ethanol and the net expense of corn.  The price of ethanol is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, the weather, government policies and programs, and unleaded gasoline prices and the petroleum markets as a whole.  Excess ethanol supply in the market, in particular, puts downward pressure on the price of ethanol.  Our largest cost of production is corn.  The cost of corn is generally impacted by factors such as supply and demand, the weather, government policies and programs, and our risk management program used to protect against the price volatility of these commodities.

**4.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS**

As of June 30, 2009, the Company has entered into corn and ethanol derivative instruments, which are required to be recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position.  Derivatives qualify for treatment as hedges when there is a high correlation between the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the related change in value of the underlying hedged item and when the Company formally documents, designates, and assesses the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting initially and on an on-going basis.  The Company must designate the hedging instruments based upon the exposure being hedged as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.  While the Company does not typically designate the derivative instruments that it enters into as hedging instruments because of the administrative costs associated with the related accounting, the Company believes that the derivative instruments represent an economic hedge.  The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

In order to reduce the risk caused by market fluctuations, the Company occasionally hedges its anticipated corn purchases and ethanol sales by entering into options and futures contracts.  These contracts are used with the intention to fix the purchase price of anticipated requirements of corn in the Company’s ethanol production activities and the related sales price of ethanol.  The fair value of these contracts is based on quoted prices in active exchange-traded or over-the-counter markets.  Although the Company believes its commodity derivative positions are economic hedges, none have been formally designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and derivative positions are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair market value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings or losses.  Gains and losses from ethanol related derivative instruments, including unrealized changes in the fair value of these positions, are included in the results of operations and are classified as a component of revenue.  Gains and losses from corn derivative instruments, including unrealized changes in the fair value of these positions, are included in the results of operations and are classified as a component of costs of good sold.  The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  The Company records withdrawals and payments against the trade equity of derivative instruments as a reduction or increase in the value of the derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2009, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding ethanol derivative instruments was approximately 12,280,000 gallons that were entered into to hedge forecasted ethanol sales through March 2010.  As of June 30, 2009, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding corn derivative instruments of approximately, 13,910,000 bushels that were entered into to hedge forecasted corn purchases through March 2010.  There may be offsetting positions that are not shown on a net basis that could lower the notional amount of positions outstanding as disclosed above.

**5.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,*Fair Value Measurements* (“SFAS 157”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,*The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities* (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 157’s requirements for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 in accordance with FASB Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”).  At the present time, the Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that would require fair value recognition or disclosures under SFAS 157.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for 2009.

SFAS 159 permits the Company to irrevocably choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. Except for those assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value the Company elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by SFAS 159.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable, with use of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market or the price of an identical asset or liability. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. The Company uses valuation techniques in a consistent manner from year-to-year.

**6.  BANK FINANCING**

On April 2, 2009 the Company signed a Revolving and Term Credit Agreement with Farmers & Merchants Union Bank, increasing the Company’s revolving line of credit with Farmers & Merchants Union Bank from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.  The Company also signed another Revolving and Term Credit Agreement with Farmers & Merchants Union Bank on April 2, 2009 for a $4,000,000 term loan.

The Company’s new revolving line of credit replaces the Company’s previous line of credit with Farmers & Merchants Union Bank executed on October 16, 2008.  The interest rate on amounts the Company borrows under the new line of credit is a variable rate equal to 2.0% over the highest US Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal “Money Table.”  The interest rate adjusts as and when the index rate changes.  Interest is due monthly on this revolving credit facility.  No prepayment fees exist on the revolving credit facility; however, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per year of the average daily unused portion of the line of credit.  The maturity date of the line of credit is April 1, 2012.

The Company’s previous line of credit had a variable interest rate equal to 0.5% over the highest US Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal “Money Table”.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $50,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding on the revolving line of credit in effect on those dates.

The Company’s $4,000,000 term loan is at a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.  The term loan requires the Company to pay monthly payments of accrued interest until November 1, 2009.  Starting on that date, the Company is required to make 59 equal monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $77,975, followed by one final payment of the unpaid principal and all accrued interest remaining on the date the note evidencing the term loan is due, October 1, 2014.  If the Company prepays the term loan, it must pay a prepayment penalty of 1.0% of the outstanding loan balance, unless the Company can establish that the source of the prepayment is derived from cash flows from business operations.  The Company was required to pay a loan origination fee equal to 10 basis points.  Although our term loan is in the amount of $4,000,000, as of June 30, 2009, we have been advanced only $2,857,000 of this amount.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $2,857,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding on the term loan.

Borrowings under our revolving line of credit and our term loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  Our revolving credit facility and our term loan are subject to restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, requiring minimum financial ratios and limitations on capital expenditures, investments and distributions.  As of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

**7.  MEMBERS’ EQUITY**

As specified in the Company’s operating agreement, the Company has one class of membership units.  The Company is authorized to issue up to 28,000 membership units in addition to the 1,440 seed capital units issued prior to the Company’s initial registered offering for a total of 29,440.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had 28,475 membership units outstanding.

**8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** 

*Distillers Grains Contracts*

At June 30, 2009, the Company had forward dry distillers grains sales contracts totaling 6,300 tons for various delivery periods from July 2009 to December 2009 with a price range of $102 to $155 per ton.  At June 30, 2009 the Company had forward modified wet distillers grains sales contracts totaling 23,000 tons for various delivery periods from July 2009 to March 2010 with a price range of $40 to $58 per ton.

*Corn and Natural Gas Contracts*

At June 30, 2009, the Company had forward corn purchase contracts totaling 5.9 million bushels for various delivery periods from July 2009 to November 2010.  The prices on these contracts range from $3.29 to $4.38 per bushel or have a basis level established by the CBOT futures between $0.10 and $-0.25.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had forward contracts to purchase approximately 1 million British thermal units (MMBTU) of natural gas during the months of July 2009 through June 2010 at an average price of approximately $5.29 per MMBTU.

*Plant Expansion*

As of June 30, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $2,900,000 for a regenerative thermal oxidizer expected to cost $3,150,000 in total and approximately $2,600,000 for an oil extraction system expected to cost $3,700,000 in total.  Both of these projects were completed in July 2009.   As of June 30, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $890,000 on the engineering, design, and support piping of a distillation and evaporation system to increase the capacity of this portion of the plant to 90 million gallons per year.  This project is expected to cost $18,000,000 in total but has been placed on hold indefinitely.

**Overview**

References to “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC.  United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC is a Wisconsin limited liability company that owns and manages the business and day-to-day operations of a 60 million gallon per year (“MGY”) ethanol plant near Friesland, Wisconsin.  The ethanol plant was originally constructed as a 40 MGY facility, but in late 2007 the plant’s production capacity was expanded to 60 MGY.  We began operating at this expanded production capacity in July 2008; however, in September 2008 we began operating at less than full capacity due to tightening industry margins.  During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we produced approximately 14,000,000 and 25,800,000 gallons of ethanol, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 when we produced approximately 13,500,000 and 27,500,000 gallons of ethanol, respectively.  In March of 2009 we returned to operating at full capacity; however, we may choose to operate at levels less than full capacity as the ethanol industry undergoes supply and demand corrections.

We anticipate further increasing our production capacity in the future to 90 million gallons per year; however, this additional expansion has been put on hold indefinitely pending management’s review of new technologies and due to the recent erosion of industry profit margins.

We have been engaged in the production of ethanol and distillers grains at our plant near Friesland, Wisconsin since May 2005. Our revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of ethanol and distillers grains throughout the continental United States and overseas. In fiscal year 2009, we anticipate producing approximately 53 million gallons of ethanol and 153,000 tons of distillers grains from approximately 18 million bushels of corn. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to operate at these production levels.  Additionally, we may choose not to operate at these production levels due to tightening industry margins.  In the future, we expect to derive additional revenues from the extraction and sale of corn oil, as we began operating our corn oil extraction system in July 2009.

We are subject to industry-wide factors that affect our operating and financial performance.  Our operating results are largely driven by the prices at which we sell ethanol and distillers grains and the costs related to their production, particularly corn and natural gas.  Historically, the price of ethanol tends to fluctuate in the same direction as the price of unleaded gasoline and other petroleum products.  However, in 2007 surplus ethanol supplies resulting from increased industry production capacity put significant downward pressure on ethanol prices, even as unleaded gasoline prices increased.  More recently ethanol prices have correlated more closely with the price of corn.  In addition, the price of ethanol is generally influenced by factors such as general economic conditions, the weather, the season, and government policies and programs.  The price of distillers grains is generally influenced by supply and demand, seasonal fluctuations and the price of substitute livestock feed, such as corn and soybean meal and other animal feed proteins.  Recently, distillers grains pricing has faced downward pressure due to a reduction in exports.  In addition, our revenues are also impacted by factors such as our dependence on one or a few major customers who purchase and distribute our primary product; the intensely competitive nature of our industry; possible legislative changes at the federal, state and/or local level and changes in federal ethanol tax incentives.

Our two largest costs of production are corn and natural gas.  Both of these costs are affected by factors largely out of our control.  Corn prices have declined from their record high prices in mid 2008 but still remain at prices higher than historical averages.  The price of corn is affected primarily by the market’s perception of supply and demand factors such as crop production, industry year-end inventories, exports, government policies and programs, risk management and weather.  The growth of the ethanol industry itself has increased the average price of corn and is expected to continue to support the increased average price of corn as demand for corn continues to rise.  Natural gas prices fluctuate with the energy complex in general, but also have independent cost factors such as weather in the production areas, production disruption, storage levels, pipeline capacity and weather in use areas.  Natural gas prices have declined since mid 2008; however, there is no guarantee natural gas prices will remain at these lower levels.  We expect the price 

15 
Table of Contents

of natural gas to continue to correlate with the energy spectrum in general.  Our costs of production are also affected by the cost of complying with the extensive environmental laws that regulate our industry.

We expect to fund our operations during the next twelve months using cash flow from continuing operations and our credit facilities.  We expect to continue ongoing research and development activities in the next twelve months in the form of commissioning studies on internal energy generation in conjunction with our planned plant production capacity increase, in particular the possibility of using post-fermentation corn solids or other renewable fuel as an energy source, thereby offsetting our natural gas usage.  Due in part to this ongoing evaluation and analysis work, we have postponed the commencement date for the planned 60 to 90 MGY capacity increase (“Phase II” of our expansion) because our energy technology choice will impact the design of the 30 MGY capacity expansion.  Tightening industry profit margins have also caused us to indefinitely delay proceeding with Phase II of our expansion.

*Revenues*.  Revenues from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $27,882,887.  In the three months ended June 30, 2009 ethanolsales comprised approximately 83.3% of our revenues and distillers grain sales (DGS) comprised approximately 16.7% of our revenues.  Revenues from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $36,188,592 of which ethanolsales comprised approximately 84.5% and distillers grains sales comprised approximately 15.5%.  The 23% decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in the previous year is due primarily to a 32% decrease in the price of ethanol and a 14% decrease in the price of distillers grains. 

The 32% decrease in the price of ethanol in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the price for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is due to the decline of ethanol markets since record highs in mid 2008.  Ethanol prices have trended lower but still remain higher than historical averages due to a continued economic incentive for gasoline blenders to blend ethanol and the relatively firm price of gasoline.  However, management believes the industry will need to continue to grow demand (or reduce production) in order to increase or sustain current prices.  According to the Renewable Fuels Association, as of July 14, 2009 there were 197 ethanol plants (184 in operation) nationwide with the capacity to produce more than 12.62 billion gallons of ethanol annually, with an additional 15 new plants and five expansions under construction expected to add an additional estimated 1.84 billion gallons of annual production capacity in the next 12 to 18 months.  Unless this new supply is equally met with increased demand, ethanol prices may be pressured downward.  If ethanol prices decline, our earnings will also decline, particularly if corn prices remain substantially higher than historic averages. On June 4, 2009, we provided notice to our ethanol marketer of the termination of our ethanol marketing agreement, effective as of the end of the initial two-year term of the agreement in January 2010..

Our revenues include a gain of $1,684,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 related to our ethanol derivative instruments.  We recognize the gains or losses that result from the changes in the value of our ethanol-related derivative instruments in revenues as the changes occur.  As ethanol prices fluctuate, the value of our ethanol-related derivative instruments changes, affecting our financial performance.  We expect the volatility in these derivative instruments to continue to have an effect on our revenues due to the timing of the changes in value of the derivative instruments relative to our sales.  These instruments are the primary tools of our risk management program for ethanol revenues.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had forward contracts to sell 13.8 million gallons of ethanol for various delivery periods from July 2009 through September 2009.  The prices on these contracts range from $1.63 to $1.65 per gallon or have a basis level established by the Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) Chicago ethanol market of -$0.06.

The average sales price for our distillers grains for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was down 14% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Decreased corn prices, lower soybean meal prices and an increase in DDGS suppliers to export markets have placed downward pressure on distillers grains prices.   Distillers grains prices are expected to follow the price of corn for the foreseeable future unless the price of soybean meal or other protein sources changes significantly.  Additionally, an increased supply of distillers grains resulting from additional ethanol production may put downward pressure on distillers grains prices.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had forward dry distillers grains contracts totaling 6,300tons for various delivery periods from July 2009 to December 2009 with a price range of $102 to $155 per ton, and forward modified wet distillers grains sales contracts totaling 23,000tons for various delivery periods from July 2009 to March 2010 with a price range of $40 to $58 per ton.

In the future, we expect to derive additional revenues from the extraction and sale of corn oil..  On July 16, 2009 we began operation of our corn oil extraction system.   See “**Plant Expansion and Construction in Process**” below for additional details regarding our corn oil extraction project.

*Cost of Goods Sold*.  Our cost of goods sold from the production of ethanol and distillers grains is primarily made up of raw grains expenses (corn) and energy expenses (natural gas and electricity).  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009totaled $29,348,568 as compared to $23,633,515 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The 24% increase in cost of goods sold in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 is primarily a net result of a 19% decrease in the price of corn, a 41% decrease in the price of natural gas and an approximate $3,700,000 loss from our hedging activities related to our corn-related derivative instruments compared to a gain of approximately $9,200,000 from hedging activities related to our corn-related derivative instruments in the same three months the previous year.  
The average corn price for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 19% lower than the average for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Corn prices have declined from their peak in mid 2008 but remain higher than historical averages.  Management believes corn prices could remain higher than historical average prices due to uncertainty surrounding acres planted and slow maturation due to cooler than normal temperatures.  According to the USDA’s June 30, 2009 report, producers planted one million more acres to corn in 2009 than 2008, with a projected a crop of nearly 12.5 billion bushels.  However, the USDA’s most recent World Agricultural Supply and Demand estimates published on August 12, 2009, projects on even larger 2009 corn crop of 12.8 billion bushels.  This season’s late planting date and cooler than normal temperatures thus far this growing season has crop development running well behind normal, putting the crops in the northern Midwest at risk of early frost damage.  Pro-Exporter, following the June30 USDA report, projected the carryout for corn to increase from approximately one billion to two billion bushels due to the increase in corn acres.  Supplies of that magnitude would likely help keep corn prices lower than we have experienced in recent years.  However, the remaining summer weather will again play a critical role in determining corn prices, and may lead to volatility in the corn futures market throughout the growing season.  We expect our cost of feedstock to continue to remain higher than historic levels.

Our cost of goods sold includes a loss of $3,704,035 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 related to our corn-related derivative instruments as compared to a gain of $9,214,861 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  We recognize the gains or losses that result from the changes in the value of our corn-related derivative instruments in cost of goods sold as the changes occur.  As corn prices fluctuate, the value of our derivative instruments changes, which affects our financial performance.  We anticipate continued volatility in our cost of goods sold due to the timing of the changes in value of the derivative instruments relative to the cost and use of the commodity being hedged.   These instruments are the primary tools of our risk management program for corn prices.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had forward corn purchase contracts totaling 5.9 million bushels for various delivery periods from July 2009 to November 2010.  The prices on these contracts range from $3.29 to $4.38 per bushel or have a basis level established by the CBOT futures between $0.10 and $-0.25.

Natural gas is also an important input to our manufacturing process.  We use natural gas to dry a majority of our distillers grains products to moisture contents at which they can be stored for longer periods and transported greater distances, so that we can market them to broader livestock markets, including poultry and swine markets in the continental United States and to markets in Asia.  The price of our natural gas decreased 41% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.   A 7.5% decrease in volume of natural gas required coupled with the price decrease resulted in a 45% decrease in the cost of natural gas in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. We expect our natural gas usage to be approximately 140,000 MMBTU per month when producing ethanol at a rate of 60 million gallons per year. We have secured firm pipeline capacity for natural gas delivery of 4,000 MMBTU per day and are working towards securing additional pipeline capacity to accommodate our planned, but indefinitely delayed, expansion.

Over the past two to three years natural gas has been available only at prices exceeding historical averages. These heightened prices increase our costs of production.  Natural gas prices recently have declined from their peak in mid 2008, and we expect natural gas prices to remain lower than prices witnessed in recent years.  Storage capacity for natural gas is virtually full, and all indications are that it will continue to remain full through the injection season, providing ample supply as we end the winter demand season.   Cooler than normal temperatures this summerhave reduced the demand for electricity generation, which has also helped keep downward pressure on natural gas prices.  Hurricane season (June through November) always has the potential to affect prices, and should we experience an active season, natural gas prices would be pushed higher if production capacityis idled.  Any unforeseen price rises in crude oil would also affect natural gas prices, causing them toincrease higher than current price levels.  If natural gas prices were to return to higher prices relative to historical average levels, it will continue to have a negative impact on our cost of goods sold.  We have secured a marketing firm and energy consultant for our natural gas supply and will continue to work with these parties on an ongoing basis to mitigate our exposure to volatile gas prices.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had forward contracts to purchase approximately one million MMBTU of natural gas during the months of July 2009 through June 2010 at an average price of approximately $5.29 per MMBTU.

*Gross Margin*.  Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was a loss of $1,465,681, a 112% decrease from the gross profit of $12,555,077 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease is due primarily to the 23% decrease in revenues and the 24 % increase in cost of goods sold discussed above (see “Revenues” and “Cost of Goods Sold” above).  

In the three months ending June 30, 2009, our ethanol-corn price spread was approximately $0.53, as compared to a spread of approximately $1.43 for the same period in 2008, a 63% decrease.  Our gross profit margins for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately negative 5.2% and approximately 34.7%, respectively.  We calculate our spread as the price we receive per gallon of ethanol, multiplied by the number of gallons of ethanol produced per bushel of corn, minus the price we paid per bushel of corn.  The calculation of our spread does not take into account sales of distillers grains or expenses from inputs other than corn, including the natural gas we use to dry our distillers grains.  The spread between the price we receive for our products and the costs of our raw materials may not continue at a favorable rate in the future.  The potentially increasing supply of ethanol may continue to outpace the demand for ethanol, placing additional downward pressure on our selling price and further eroding our margins.  The increased production of ethanol from corn may contribute to the already increasing demand for corn and put pressure on corn supplies, thereby increasing our cost of corn and reducing our profit margin.  A decrease in profit margin will adversely affect our financial performance.

*Operating Expenses*.  Operating expenses were $660,277 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $951,163 for three months ended June 30, 2008.  The 31% decrease in operating expenses is primarily a net result of a decrease in general and administrative labor expense and insurance, partially offset by an increase in professional fees and other administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.4% and 2.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

*Operating Income*.  We realized an operating loss forthe three months ended June 30, 2009 of $2,125,958, or a negative 7.6% of revenues.  Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $11,603,914, or 32.1% of revenues.  The decrease in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily a result of the decrease in “Revenues” and “Gross Margin” (discussed above).

*Other Income (Expense)*.  Our other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was an income of $203,635 as compared to an expense of $735,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Our other income (expense) items at June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of interest and miscellaneous income.  Our other income (expense) items at June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of equity in net loss of investmentfor the impairment loss related to our investment in the First Missouri Energy project.  The changes in other income (expense) items were due primarily to the impairment loss recorded in the three months ending June 30, 2008.

*Revenues*.  Revenues from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $50,846,051.  In the six months ended June 30, 2009, ethanol sales comprised approximately 83% of our revenues and distillers grain sales (DGS) comprised approximately 17% of our revenues.  Revenues from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $70,425,979, of which ethanol sales comprised approximately 84.5% and distillers grains sales comprised approximately 15.5%.  The 28% decrease in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in the previous year is due primarily to a decrease in the price of ethanol and a decrease in the price of distillers grains, as discussed in “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --*Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008*.” 

 

*Cost of Goods Sold*.  Our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $51,345,083 as compared to $49,424,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The 4% increase in cost of goods sold in thesix months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 is primarily a net result of a decrease in the price of corn, a decrease in the price of natural gas and an approximate $2,700,000 loss from our hedging activities related to our corn-related derivative instruments compared to a gain of $11,900,000 from hedging activities related to our corn-related derivative instruments in the same six months the previous year.  For further discussion see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --*Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008*.” 

*Gross Margin*.  Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was a loss of $499,032, a 102% decrease from the gross profit of $21,001,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease is due primarily to the 28% decrease in revenues and the 4% increase in cost of goods sold discussed in “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --*Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008*.”

In the six months ending June 30, 2009, our ethanol-corn price spread was approximately $2.59, as compared to a spread of approximately $1.54 for the same period in 2008, a 105% increase.   However, despite the increase, our margins decreased due to the hedge loss we recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the hedge gain we recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately negative 1% and approximately 29.8%, respectively.  For further discussion regarding the calculation of our spread, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --*Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008*.”

*Operating Expenses*.  Operating expenses were $1,467,986 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1,904,566 for six months ended June 30, 2008.  The 23% decrease in operating expenses is primarily a net result of a decrease in general and administrative labor expense and insurance, partially offset by an increase in professional fees and other administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.9% and 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

*Operating Income*.  We realized an operating loss forthe six months ended June 30, 2009 of $1,967.018, or a negative 3.9% of revenues.  Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $19,096,932, or 27.1% of revenues.  The decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily a result of the decrease in “Gross Margin” (discussed above).  

 

*Other Income (Expense)*.  Our other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was an income of $272,601 as compared to an expense of $735,495 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Our other income (expense) items at June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of interest and miscellaneous income.  Our other income (expense) items at June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of equity in net loss of investment.  For further discussion see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --*Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008*.”

**Changes in Financial Condition for the six months ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2008.**

Assets totaled $71,299,995 on June 30, 2009, as compared to $71,772,871 on December 31, 2008.  Current assets totaled $17,281,378 on June 30, 2009, as compared to $17,222,301 on December 31, 2008.  This change resulted from (i) a reduction in cash and cash equivalents on hand, which is primarily a result of a decrease in cash from operations, the $2,847,500 cash used for our member distributions in February 2009, and approximately $2,800,000 used for capital expenditures and construction in process and (ii) approximately a $2,500,000 net increase in our restricted cash and derivative instruments.

Current liabilities were $7,157,232 on June 30, 2009, as compared to $5,613,705 on December 31, 2008. Long-term debt, less current maturities, totaled $2,525,514 on June 30, 2009, as compared to $0 on December 31, 2008.  Our increase in long-term debt is due to our term loan, as discussed below in “***Short-Term and Long-Term Debt Sources*** .” 

Members’ equity totaled $61,617,249 on June 30, 2009, as compared to $66,159,166 on December 31, 2008.  This change is a result of our net loss for the six months ending June 30, 2009 less the $2,847,500 membership distribution paid out in February 2009.

*Cash Flow Provided by (Used In) Operations.  *Our net cash flow provided by ( used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was an expenditure of $2,487,725, as compared to net cash flow of $16,082,922 for the same period the previous year.  The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the changes discussed in “Revenues” and “Gross Profit” above. Our capital needs are adequately met through cash from our operating activities and our current credit facilities.

Table of Contents

 

*Cash Flow Used In Investing Activities.  *Our net cash flow used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 constituted expenditures of $2,647,435 , as compared to expenditures of $ 3,966,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, First Missouri Energy, LLC, an entity in which the Company had invested, sold the land owned by First Missouri Energy, LLC for approximately $1,430,000.  These monies were distributed to the members of First Missouri Energy, including $162,067 to United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC.

Management estimates that approximately $240,000 in capital expenditures will be made in the next three months to complete the regenerative thermal oxidizer project, bringing the expected total cost to approximately $3,150,000 as approved by our board on March 10, 2008.  Also, approximately $1,000,000 in capital expenditures will be made to complete the corn oil extraction system, a $3,670,000 project approved by our board on July 14, 2008.  Both of these projectswere completed in July 2009.

We presently estimate that an additional $28,000,000 will be required to construct Phase II of our capacity expansion, all of which is expected to be financed from a portion of cash flows from operations and additional debt financing.  See “**Plant Expansion and Construction in Process**” below.  We expect that Phase II of our expansion will provide additional ethanol production capacity of 30 million gallons per year at our Friesland plant site.  Tightening industry profit margins have led us to put this expansion on hold indefinitely.  We currently estimate the 30 million gallon per year expansion facility will not be complete by the second quarter of 2010, as we had previously projected, due to the indefinite delay.  Utilizing cash generated from operations for the plant expansion, if and when we proceed with the expansion, may impact our ability to pay out future member distributions.  Our projections are based upon our historical operating costs and historical revenues.  However, our past financial performance may not accurately predict future results. 

*Cash FlowProvided by ( Used In ) Financing Activities.  *Our net cash flow provided by(used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 constituted proceeds of $59,500, as compared to expenditures of $22,208,939 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we made cash distributions to our members in the amount of $2,847,500 as compared to $7,175,000 in thesix months ended June 30, 2008.  These distributions were financed with cash from operations.  Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we obtained a term loan in the amount of $4,000,000, as discussed below in “***Short-Term and Long-Term Debt Sources*** ,” as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, when we paid off our outstanding term debt .  Although our term loan is in the amount of $4,000,000, as of June 30, 2009, we have been advanced only $2,857,000 of this amount.  Finally, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we did not repurchase any membership units, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, when we used $677,800 to repurchase membership units. 

***Short-Term and Long-Term Debt Sources***

 

 On April 2, 2009 we signed agreements with Farmers & Merchants Union Bank to increase our revolving line of credit from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 and borrow an additional $4,000,000.  The interest rate on amounts we borrow under the line of credit is a variable rate of 2.0% over the highest US Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal “Money Table”.  The interest rate adjusts as and when the index rate changes.  Interest is due monthly on this revolving credit facility.  No prepayment fees exist on the revolving credit facility; however, we are required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per year of the average daily unused portion of the line of credit.  The maturity date of our line of credit is April 1, 2012

Our $4,000,000 term loan is at a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.  Although our term loan is in the amount of $4,000,000, as of June 30, 2009, we have been advanced only $2,857,000 of this account.  The term loan requires us to pay monthly payments of accrued interest until November 1, 2009.  Starting on that date, we are required to make 59 equal monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $77,975, followed by one final payment of the unpaid principal and all accrued interest remaining on the date the note evidencing the term loan is due, October 1, 2014.  If we prepay the term loan, we must pay a prepayment penalty of 1.0% of the outstanding loan balance, unless we can establish that the source of the prepayment is derived from our business operations.  Additionally, we were required to pay a loan origination fee equal to 10 basis points.

 

Our revolving credit facility and our term loanare subject to protective covenants requiring us to maintain various financial ratios. We are required to maintain a minimum book value net worth of $50,000,000 and maintain a monthly working capital position of $7,500,000.  We must receive written approval from our lender to exceed $1,000,000 in annual capital expenditures and we must obtain consent prior to making membership distributions in excess of 50% of the previous year’s net income, excluding state and federal incentive payments.  Finally, we are prohibited from making investments not directly for the benefit of our existing plant site.  As of June 30, 2009, we are in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants.  The revolving line of credit and the term loanare secured by substantially all of our assets.

 We expect to obtain additional debt financing of between approximately $14,000,000 and $21,000,000 when and if we proceed with Phase II of our expansion, which would increase our production capacity to 90 million gallons per year.  However, this expansion has been indefinitely delayed due to tightening industry profit margins.  See “**Plant Expansion and Construction in Process** ” below. 

**Plant Expansion and Construction in Process**

Our Board approved $3,150,000 for a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) on March 10, 2008.  This project is approximately 95% complete and is expected to be put into operation with a planned shutdown scheduled in early October 2009.  Our Board approved $3,671,000 for a corn oil extraction system project on July 14, 2008.  The project was approximately 85% complete at June 30, 2009 and was completed in July 2009.  We expect to finance these two projects with a combination of approximately 40% cash from operations and 60% debt financing.

In December 2007, we substantially completed an expansion of our plant capacity to 60 million gallons (“Phase I” of our expansion).  We began operating at this expanded capacity in July 2008; however, for the period of September 2008 through February 2009, we operated at less than full capacity due to tightening industry margins.  Phase I of our expansion increased the capacity of our grind, cook and fermentations systems.  Phase II of our expansion involves the distillation and downstream process on additional “beer,” the product removed from the fermentors after fermentation is complete.  The total estimated cost of this work, which will increase plant capacity by 30 million gallons, is $28,000,000.  The Board approved $16,700,000 for the development, design and completion of the distillation, dehydration and evaporation components of the Phase II expansion project on June 11, 2007.  The project is approximately 5% complete, which represents the early planning and design work.  We have paid for the work to date with cash from operations.  Phase II of our expansion is presently on hold due to management’s decision to re-examine the energy source and review new technologies, and due to the recent erosion of industry profit margins.  Should this project move forward, the Company expects to finance the project with approximately 40% to 60% debt financing and approximately 40% to 60% cash from operations.  If we are unsuccessful in obtaining debt financing, we will not be able to construct Phase II of our expansion.

**Subsequent Events**

On July 16, 2009 we began operation of our corn oil extraction system.

**Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.**

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. 

**Application of 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.  We had the following critical accounting estimates as of the six months ended June 30, 2009.  

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Impairment testing for assets requires various estimates and assumptions, including an allocation of cash flows to those assets and, if required, an estimate of the fair value of those assets.  Our estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. These valuations require the use of management’s assumptions, which do not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that may occur.  In our analysis, we consider future corn costs and ethanol prices, break-even points for our plant and our risk management strategies in place through our derivative instruments and forward contracts.  Given the significant assumptions required and the possibility that actual conditions will differ, we consider the assessment of impairment of our long-lived assets to be a critical accounting estimate.

22

Table of Contents

Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $54,000 and $59,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  These amounts are based on our historical experience and take into account factors such as our marketing agreements in place for the marketing and sale of all of our ethanol and a portion of our distillers grains, the payment due date for such ethanol and distillers grains relative to when our marketers take possession of the products, and our past success in collecting payment for the ethanol and distillers grains sold pursuant to our marketing agreements.  Because our allowance for doubtful accounts is based in part on our assumption that our future collection of accounts will be similar to our historical experiences, we consider this to be a critical accounting estimate.

**Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations associated with interest rates and commodity prices as discussed below. We have no exposure to foreign currency risk as all of our business is conducted in U.S. Dollars. We use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk. We use cash, futures and option contracts to hedge changes to the commodity prices of corn, natural gas and ethanol. We do not enter into these derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 133,*Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*.

**Interest Rate Risk**

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.  On April 2 , 2009, we signed an agreement for a new revolving line of credit , which bears a variable interest rate. This line of credit replaced our previous line of credit.  Our $4,000,000 term loan has a fixed interest rate.  At June 30, 2009, our exposure to interest rate risk resulted primarily from the variable interest rate for borrowings against our revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had borrowings of $50,000 against our revolving line of credit.       The specifics of our revolving line of credit and term loan are discussed in greater detail in “**Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Short-Term and Long-Term Debt Sources**.”

Below is a sensitivity analysis we prepared regarding our income exposure to changes in interest rates. The sensitivity analysis below shows the anticipated effect on our income from a 10% adverse change in interest rates for a one year period.

**Commodity Price Risk**

We seek to minimize the risks from fluctuations in the prices of raw material inputs, such as corn and natural gas, and finished products, such as ethanol and distillers grains, through the use of hedging instruments.  In practice, as markets move, we actively manage our risk and adjust hedging strategies as appropriate.  Although we believe our hedge positions accomplish an economic hedge against our future purchases and sales, management has chosen not to use hedge accounting, which would match the gain or loss on our hedge positions to the specific commodity purchase being hedged.  We are using fair value accounting for our hedge positions, which means as the current market price of our hedge positions changes, the realized or unrealized gains and losses are immediately recognized in our cost of goods sold or as an offset to revenues. The immediate recognition of hedging gains and losses under fair value accounting can cause net income to be volatile from quarter to quarter due to the timing of the change in value of the derivative instruments relative to the cost and use of the commodity being hedged.

As corn prices move in reaction to market trends and information, our income statement will be affected depending on the impact such market movements have on the value of our derivative instruments.  Depending on market movements, crop prospects and weather, these price protection positions may cause immediate adverse effects, but are expected to produce long-term positive growth for us.

A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate our exposure to ethanol, corn and natural gas price risk. Market risk related to these factors is estimated as the potential change in income resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the fair value of our corn and natural gas prices and average ethanol price as ofJune 30 , 2009, net of the forward and futures contracts used to hedge our market risk for corn and natural gas usage requirements.  The volumes are based on our expected use and sale of these commodities for a one year period fromJune 30 , 2009.  As of June 30 , 2009, approximately 33% of our estimated corn usage, 60% of our anticipated natural gas usage and 26% of our ethanol sales over the next 12 months were subject to fixed price or index contracts where a price has been established with an exchange.  The results of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, are as follows:
