Notes to the Monthly Operating Report

Notes to MOR-1a:

Cash receipts related to intercompany transfers among the various Debtor entities jointly administered under case number 08-12606 (each a "Debtor" and, collectively, the "Debtors") are not included in this schedule except transfers of funding from VeraSun Energy Corporation ("VEC") and ASA OpCo Holdings, LLC ("ASA OpCo") to subsidiary Debtor entities and transfers of payments from VeraSun Marketing, LLC ("VeraSun Marketing") to other VeraSun legacy Debtor entities.

Notes to MOR-1b:

All cash disbursements exclude intercompany transfers among the Debtor entities except transfers of funding from VEC and ASA OpCo to subsidiary debtor entities and transfers of payments from VeraSun Marketing to other VeraSun legacy Debtor entities.

Notes to MOR-1c:

All amounts listed are the bank balances as of the end of the month.

Notes to MOR-2:

The Statement of Operations (Income Statement) reflects revenue and expenses that directly correspond to the Debtor legal entity except VeraSun Tilton, LLC, which does not maintain separate accounting records.

Reorganization items primarily represent legal and other professional fees. In addition, it includes the recording of the gain or loss recorded on extinguishment of debt.

Any changes to prior period income/expense amounts will be reflected in the current Monthly Operating Report (the "MOR").

Notes to MOR-3:

The Balance Sheet reflects assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity that directly correspond to the Debtor legal entity except VeraSun Tilton, LLC, which does not maintain separate accounting records. The accounting records of the parent VEC includes land owned by VeraSun Tilton, LLC, carried at approximately $4.3 million.

On February 19, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(A), 363, 365 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002, 6004, 6006 Establishing Bidding and Auction Procedures Related to the Sale of Some or All of the Debtors' Assets. Accordingly, VEC and its subsidiary Debtor entities reclassified the long-lived assets to the line captioned "Assets held for sale" on MOR-3 and ceased depreciating such assets in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

On January 7, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105 and 363 Approving Procedures to Sell Certain De Minimis Assets Free and Clear of Liens Claims, and Encumbrances Without Further Order of the Court (Docket No. 453). Pursuant to paragraph 2 of the De Minimis Asset Sale Order, the Debtors are required to disclose all de minimis asset sales with an aggregate sale price of less than $50,000 (the "Level 1 Sales") consummated during any given month in their MOR. VEC incurred Level 1 Sales of $1,000 in the month of August 2009 for the sale of computer equipment and various office furniture.

Certain accruals are recorded monthly at VEC, ASA OpCo, and US BioEnergy Corporation and allocated to other Debtor entities when paid.

Because the Debtor entities file a joint Federal Income Tax return, individual Debtor entity balances would reflect assets and liabilities that net to the financial statement line on a combined basis. However, VEC recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and liabilities; thus, these captions do not appear on MOR-3.

Notes to the Monthly Operating Report

Intercompany balances subject to compromise and not subject to compromise are shown net by Debtor entity.

Any changes to prior period balances will be reflected in the current month MOR.

Notes to MOR-4:

The tax walk forward reflects both pre-petition and post-petition taxes, and the beginning balance for this MOR reflects accrued taxes as of July 31, 2009.

VEC and related Debtors are current on all post petition payments other than disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business transactions.

Notes to MOR-5:

Ending third party accounts receivable balances by Debtor legal entity are listed on MOR-3, which balance differs from the Accounts Receivable Aging primarily due to certain aged receivables that are included on the line "Prepaid expenses and other assets".

On August 10, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Under Bankruptcy Code Sections 105(a) and 363 and Fed.R.Bankr.P.2002 and 6004 Authorizing Debtors to Sell Certain Accounts Receivable Claims (Docket No. 1679). Pursuant to paragraph J, The Purchaser's Credit Bid, the purchaser used $7.8 million of the ASA Prepetition Lenders' Remaining Secured Claims in order to acquire the Cargill A/R Claims.

Notes to MOR-6:

Payments to insiders exclude intercompany payments between Debtor entities.

Notes to MOR-7:

The Debtor entities have made certain payments on account of pre-petition liabilities in accordance with orders of the Bankruptcy Court specifically authorizing payment of certain pre-petition liabilities.

Debtor entities from time to time have sold product to insider CHS, Inc and to its 100% owned subsidiary Provista LLC.

(a) August disbursements for the VeraSun Energy Corporation entity reflect payment of $12,500,000 to AgStar Financial Services, PCA (“AgStar”) in full satisfaction and settlement of the AgStar Litigation (defined below). On December 23, 2008 AgStar filed a complaint against certain debtors (Adv. No. 08-51897) claiming that certain liens AgStar had on ethanol produced by the USBio Debtors were not released when the USBio Debtors transferred that ethanol to VeraSun Marketing, LLC (the “AgStar Litigation”). The parties settled the AgStar Litigation pursuant to that certain settlement agreement approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 10, 2009, pursuant to the Order Pursuant to Fed. R. of Bankr. P. Authorizing the Debtors to Enter Into a Settlement Agreement with AgStar Financial Services, PCA (Docket No. 1680). The amount was applied in payment of intercompany administrative claims owed to certain US BioEnergy debtors by VeraSun Marketing as allowed under the Order Approving Debtors’ Motion for Allowance of Certain Intercompany Administrative Expense Claims (Docket No. 763).

(a) The Debtors received a Delinquency Notice (the “Notice”) from the Office of the U.S. Trustee (the “Trustee”) that was processed on August 6, 2009. The Notice stated that US BioEnergy Corporation owed an estimated balance of $5,850.16. However the Debtors-upon additional review and analysis, including discussions with officials from the Trustee’s office-have concluded that they overstated the “disbursements” on their June monthly operating report for purposes of calculating the quarterly fees due to the Trustee. The Debtors included in the disbursements certain accounts receivable funds that were collected and then distributed, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, to the entity that recently purchased substantially all of US BioEnergy Corporation’s assets. The distribution of those funds was erroneously included as a disbursement, which, in turn, led to an inflated calculation of the Debtors’ quarterly fee due to the Trustee. The Debtors are working with the Trustee to correct this error. Once it is corrected, the Debtors do not believe that they will owe any balance to the Trustee.
