      This Form 10-Q/A-2 amends Item 4 to the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2002, as previously amended by the Form 10-Q/A. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A-2 and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Registrant is including with this Form 10-Q/A-2 certain currently dated certifications. No other changes have been made to this Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2002 and this Form 10-Q/A-2 does not modify or update the disclosure contained in the Form 10-Q as amended by the Form 10-Q/A in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

      Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of November 30, 2002. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, except as noted below with respect to the identification and elimination of certain sales and transfers within our Grain Marketing business segment, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

      During the first quarter ended November 30, 2003, we determined that certain sales and transfers within our Grain Marketing business segment and also between the Grain Marketing segment and the Processed Grains and Foods segment had not been properly identified and eliminated in our consolidated financial statements for certain periods prior to that fiscal quarter. Following this determination, we restated our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and for the first three fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. These changes had no effect on our financial condition, or changes in cash flows, and no effect on reported gross profit or net income for the periods stated above. In response, we changed our internal control over financial reporting to include additional processes that are intended to ensure the proper identification and reporting of intra-company transactions and enable us to eliminate those transactions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
