1. Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Activities. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. (formerly AE Biofuels, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Aemetis” or the “Company”):

●	Aemetis Americas, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiary AE Biofuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

●	Biofuels Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

●	Aemetis International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiary International Biofuels, Ltd., a Mauritius corporation, and its subsidiary Universal Biofuels Private, Ltd., an India company;

●	Aemetis Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

●	Aemetis Biochemicals, Inc., a Nevada corporation;

●	Aemetis Biofuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiary Energy Enzymes, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

●	AE Advanced Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Aemetis Facility Keyes, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

●	Aemetis Advanced Fuels, Inc., a Nevada corporation;

●	Aemetis Advanced Products Keyes, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and,

●	Aemetis Advanced Fuels Goodland, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Aemetis is an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based products by the conversion of first generation ethanol and biodiesel plants into advanced biorefineries. The Company owns and operates a plant in Keyes, California where the Company manufactures and produces ethanol, wet distillers’ grain (WDG), condensed distillers solubles (CDS) and corn oil and a manufacturing and refining facility in Kakinada, India where the Company manufactures and produces fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel), crude and refined glycerin and refined palm oil. In September 2013, the Company received approval by the US Environmental Protection Agency to produce ethanol using grain sorghum and biogas along with the Keyes plant existing combined heat and power systems to generate higher value D5 Advanced Biofuel Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN’s). In April 2014, the Company received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for the production of biodiesel at the India plant from certain oils and fats for sale into European markets. In addition, the Company is continuing research and development focused on microbial technologies for the commercialization of renewable industrial biofuels and biochemicals.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from the 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, tabular data in thousands except par value and per share data)

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of December 31, 2014 and reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected.

Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues based upon the gross amounts billed to its customers. Revenue from nonmonetary transactions, principally in-kind by-products received in exchange for material processing where the by-product is contemplated by contract to provide value, is recognized at the quoted market price of those goods or by-products received.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes those costs directly associated with the production of revenues, such as raw material consumed, factory overhead, and other direct production costs. During periods of idle plant capacity, costs otherwise charged to cost of goods sold are reclassified to selling, general and administrative expense.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless they have alternative future uses to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions domestically and abroad. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures domestic cash accounts. The Company’s accounts at these institutions may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable. The Company sells ethanol, wet distiller’s grains, corn syrup and corn oil through third-party marketing arrangements generally without requiring collateral. The Company sells biodiesel, glycerin, and processed natural oils to a variety of customers and may require advanced payment based on the size and creditworthiness of the customer. Accounts receivables consist of product sales made to large creditworthy customers. Trade accounts receivable are presented at original invoice amount, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, tabular data in thousands except par value and per share data)

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances that appear to have specific collection issues. The collection process is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. If, after a specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, a bad debt allowance is recorded for the balance in question. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once uncollectibility has been determined. The factors considered in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts balance as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in and first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation after assets are placed in service and are comprised primarily of buildings, furniture, machinery, equipment, land, and the biodiesel plant in India. It is the Company’s policy to depreciate capital assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of intellectual property in the form of patents pending, in-process research and development and goodwill. Once the patents pending or in-process R&D have secured a definite life in the form of a patent or product, they will be carried at cost less accumulated amortization over their estimated useful life. Amortization commences upon the commercial application or generation of revenue and is amortized over the shorter of the economic life or patent protection period.

Company intangible assets such as goodwill have indefinite lives and as a result need to be evaluated at least annually, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. In the Company’s review, we determined the fair value of the reporting unit using market indicators and discounted cash flow modeling. The Company compares the fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. An impairment loss would be recognized when the fair value is less than the related net book value, and an impairment expense would be recorded in the amount of the difference. Forecasts of future cash flows are judgments based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the Company’s operations and the industries in which the Company operates. These forecasts could be significantly affected by future changes in market conditions, the economic environment, including inflation, and the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers.

California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program. The Company was eligible to participate in the California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program (CEPIP). Under the CEPIP, an eligible California ethanol facility could receive up to $3 million in cash per plant per year of operations through 2013 when current production corn crush spreads, measured as the difference between specified ethanol and corn index prices, dropped below $0.55 per gallon. For any month in which a payment was made by the CEPIP, the Company may be required to reimburse the funds within the subsequent five years from each payment date, if the corn crush spreads exceed $1.00 per gallon. Since these funds were provided to subsidize current production costs and encourage eligible facilities to either continue production or start up production in low margin environments, the Company recorded the proceeds, if any, as a credit to cost of goods sold. With respect to CEPIP payments received and applied as reductions to cost of goods sold, the Company recorded none for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. During 2013 and 2014, the strength of the crush spread resulted in an obligation to repay CEPIP funding in the amount of $1.8 million, the entire amount of funds received from the program. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company carried a remaining liability of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for repayment of funds received.

(Unaudited, tabular data in thousands except par value and per share data)

Warrant liability: The Company adopted guidance related to distinguishing liabilities from equity for certain warrants which contain a conditional obligation to repurchase feature. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 18,644 warrants outstanding with a conditional obligation to repurchase feature that require liability treatment. As a result, a warrant liability was recorded to recognize the fair value upon issuance of each warrant. The Company estimates the fair value of future liability on warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Assumptions within the pricing model include: 1) the risk-free interest rate, which comes from the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the contractual life of the warrants, 2) the expected life of the warrants which is assumed to be the contractual life of the warrants, and 3) the volatility which is estimated based on an average of the historical volatilities.

The Company computes the fair value of the warrant liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded through earnings. The key component in the value of the warrant liability is the Company's stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under the Company's control. The resulting effect on the Company's net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the warrants are exercised, amended or expired. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when the stock price increases and non-cash income when the stock price decreases.

Long - Lived Assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC Subtopic 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment –Subsequent Measurements, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, based on estimated undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss would be measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and its estimated fair value.

Basic and Diluted Net income (Loss) per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the dilution of common stock equivalents such as options, convertible preferred stock, debt and warrants to the extent the impact is dilutive. As the Company incurred net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net income per share computations as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As the Company incurred net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, potentially dilutive securities have been included in the diluted net income per share computations and any potentially anti-dilutive shares have been excluded and are shown below.

The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the net income (loss) per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Comprehensive Loss. ASC 220 Comprehensive Loss requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of cumulative currency translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary. The investment in this subsidiary is considered indefinitely invested overseas, and as a result, deferred income taxes are not recorded related to the currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary that operates in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date; with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other income (loss).

Operating Segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Aemetis recognized two reportable geographic segments: “India” and “North America.”

The “North America” operating segment includes the Company’s 55 million gallons per year nameplate capacity ethanol plant in Keyes, California and the research facilities in College Park, Maryland.

The “India” operating segment encompasses the Company’s 50 million gallon per year nameplate capacity biodiesel plant in Kakinada, India, the administrative offices in Hyderabad, India, and the holding companies in Nevada and Mauritius.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, warrant liability, and debt. The fair value of current financial instruments was estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of debt obligations, including debt discount issuance costs, held by our senior lender, subordinated debt and seller note payable, at June 30, 2015 amounted to an aggregate of approximately $68.5 million in outstanding obligations. The above debts were determined to have an estimated fair value of $69.2 million based on interest rates for comparable debt. The Company’s debt was valued using inputs from independent consultants evaluating external market inputs and internal financings to determine appropriate discount rates to determine fair value. The warrant liability fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model at the end of each reporting period. Due to the unique terms of our notes payable under the EB-5 program, State Bank of India secured term loan and our unsecured working capital loans and other short-term notes, the fair value of the debt is not determinable

Share-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes share based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718 Stock Compensation requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the estimated fair value of the Company’s share-based compensation awards at the time the awards are granted adjusted to reflect only those shares that are expected to vest.

In valuing restricted common shares issued to consultants, debt holders, or affiliated investors, the Company estimates the discount for lack of marketability on restricted stock issued, using the Black-Scholes model for pricing call options, which assists in deriving the implied price of put options using the put-call parity principle. The price of the put option divided by the market price quoted on the NASDAQ market exchange implies the discount for lack of marketability.

Commitments and Contingencies. The Company records and/or discloses commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies. ASC 450 applies to an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

Debt Modification Accounting. The Company evaluates amendments to its debt in accordance with ASC 540-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishments for modification and extinguishment accounting. This evaluation includes comparing the net present value of cash flows of the new debt to the old debt to determine if changes greater than 10 percent occurred. In instances where the net present value of future cash flows changed more than 10 percent, the Company applies extinguishment accounting and determines the fair value of its debt based on factors available to the Company.

Convertible Instruments. The Company evaluates the impacts of convertible instruments based on the underlying conversion features. Convertible Instruments are evaluated for treatment as derivatives that could be bifurcated and recorded separately. Any beneficial conversion feature is recorded based on the intrinsic value difference at the commitment date.

Third Eye Capital Note Purchase Agreement

On July 6, 2012, Aemetis, Inc. and Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. (“AAFK”), entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with Third Eye Capital (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Third Eye Capital extended credit in the form of (i) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $7.2 million to replace existing notes held by Third Eye Capital (the “Term Notes”); (ii) senior secured revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of $18.0 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”); (iii) senior secured term loans in the principal amount of $10.0 million to convert the prior revenue participation agreement to a note (“Revenue Participation Term Notes”); and (iv) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (“Acquisition Term Notes”) used to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of Cilion, Inc. After this financing transaction, Third Eye Capital obtained sufficient equity ownership in the Company to be considered a related party (the Term Notes, Revolving Credit Facility, Revenue Participation Term Notes and Acquisition Term Notes are referred to herein collectively as the “Notes”). The Notes mature on April 1, 2016*.

On March 12, 2015, Third Eye Capital agreed to Amendment No. 9 to the Note Purchase Agreement to allow for the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an average price of $5.52 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.5 million. The repurchase price was added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. Third Eye Capital also agreed to remove the covenant that the Company must complete an equity offering of its preferred stock for net proceeds of not less than $20 million with all of such net proceeds to be used to repay the principal outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, Third Eye Capital waived the free cash flow financial covenant under the Note Purchase Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We evaluated the amendment of the Notes and applied modification accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment.

On April 30, 2015, Third Eye Capital agreed to Amendment No. 10 to the Note Purchase Agreement to allow for the repurchase of 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a repurchase price of $5.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. The repurchase price was added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, Third Eye Capital agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes to April 1, 2016 upon notice and payment of a 3% extension fee. The existing guarantees were reaffirmed. On May 29, 2015, the Company gave notice to extend the maturity date of the Notes to April 1, 2016 and added the 3% fee to the Notes.

On August 6, 2015, Third Eye Capital agreed to Amendment No. 11 to the Note Purchase Agreement to allow for the extension of the maturity date of the Notes to April 1, 2017 provided that the Company i) has $11.5 million in EB-5 funds in escrow as of August 31, 2015, ii) enters into an investment banking engagement by October 1, 2015 to complete a capital market transaction for the sale of shares in the India subsidiary, and iii) repurchases 100,000 shares of common stock at the greater of $4.00 and the closing price on the date of the amendment. In addition, Third Eye Capital waived the free cash flow financial covenant under the Note Purchase Agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and for the three months ending September 30, 2015, and revised the market value to note indebtedness to 65%. As consideration, Third Eye Capital charged an amendment fee of $1.0 million to be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility and an extension fee equal to 5% of the Note indebtedness to be charged at the time of exercise. We will evaluate the amendment of the Notes and will determine accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment.

Further details regarding the terms of the Notes are set forth below under the heading “Terms of Third Eye Capital Notes.”

Unsecured working capital loans. In November 2008, the Company entered into an operating agreement with Secunderabad Oils Limited (“Secunderabad”). Under this agreement, Secunderabad agreed to provide the Company with working capital, on an as needed basis, to fund the purchase of feedstock and other raw materials for its Kakinada biodiesel facility. Working capital advances bear interest at the actual bank borrowing rate of Secunderabad of fifteen percent (15%). In return, the Company agreed to pay Secunderabad an amount equal to 30% of the plant’s monthly net operating profit. In the event that the Company’s biodiesel facility operates at a loss, Secunderabad owes the Company 30% of the losses. The agreement can be terminated by either party at any time without penalty.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made principal payments to Secunderabad of approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, under the agreement and interest payments of approximately $66 thousand and $104 thousand, respectively, for working capital funding.

Legal Proceedings

On March 10, 2011, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India under the Agreement of Loan for Overall Limit dated as of June 26, 2008. The notice informed UBPL that an event of default had occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan commencing June 2009 and demanded repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 crore rupees (approximately $3.2 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest accrues at the default interest rate of 2% above the State Bank of India Advance Rate. The default period began on July 1, 2009 when the principal payment was deemed past due; and we have accrued interest at the default rate since the beginning of the default period. In addition, since the bank demanded payment of the balance, we have classified the entire loan amount as current. On March 12, 2011, the State Bank of India filed a legal case before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (“DRT”), Hyderabad, for recovery of approximately $5.0 million against the Company and also impleaded Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (“APIIC”) to expedite the process of registration of the factory land for which counter reply is yet to be filed by APIIC. UBPL asserts that the State Bank of India did not provide the committed funding of the working capital loan and only funded a portion of the term loan, thus requiring the Company to enter into a working capital facility at unfavorable terms which served to hinder the business from developing at the planned rate. The State Bank of India has additionally required the personal guarantee of our Executive Officer and the registration of the land underlying the factory as conditions prior to restructure of the loan. Payments have recently been made against the facility; however, the State Bank of India has rejected these payments as a good faith effort. In January 2014, the Company made payment of $162 thousand (1 crore rupees) against principal on the facility which was accepted by the State Bank of India. UBPL filed for a stay against further collection efforts pending the development of sufficient business in a domestic or international market that would allow UBPL to make meaningful repayments against the facility. In May 2014, the Company obtained an interim stay in exchange for payments of approximately $0.4 million. In the event that the Company is unable to prevail in the aforementioned legal case, DRT may pass a decree for recovery of the amount due, which could include seizing company property for recovery of amounts due. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the State Bank of India loan had $2.6 million in principal outstanding and accrued interest plus default interest of $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

On August 4, 2013, GS Cleantech Corporation, a subsidiary of Greenshift Corporation (“Greenshift”), filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California – Fresno Division against the Company and its subsidiary, AAFK. The case was transferred to the Southern District of Indiana and joined as tag-along defendants to a pending Multidistrict Litigation with over a dozen original defendants. The complaint alleges infringement of patent rights assigned to Greenshift that pertain to certain corn oil extraction processes that the Company employs and seeks royalties, damages, treble damages, and attorney’s fees, along with injunctions precluding the Company from infringing its patent rights. The corn oil extraction process we use is licensed to us by Valicor Separation Technologies LLC, formerly called Solution Recovery Services LLC (“SRS”). The process provider has no obligations to indemnify us. On September 12, 2013, the Company, along with its subsidiary, filed its answer and counterclaims. In response to a motion for summary judgment filed by the original defendants, on October 23, 2014, the Court ruled that all the claims of all the patents at issue in the case are invalid. Further, in a January 16, 2015 decision, the District Court for the Southern District of Indiana ruled in favor of a stipulated motion for partial summary judgment for the Company, along with its subsidiary, finding that all of the GS Cleantech patents in the suit were invalid and, therefore, not infringed. GS Cleantech has said it will appeal this decision when the remaining claim in the suit has been decided. Regardless of when it may be appealed, we believe that the likelihood of Greenshift succeeding on appeal with respect to patent invalidity findings is small since the Court’s findings included summary judgments on several grounds for each allegedly infringed patent. If Greenshift successfully appeals the District Court’s findings of invalidity, damages may be $1 million or more.

The only remaining claim alleges that GS Cleantech inequitably conducted itself before the United States Patent Office when obtaining the patents at issue. A trial in the District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on that single issue is currently scheduled to begin October 5, 2015. If the defendants, including the Company and its subsidiary, succeed in proving inequitable conduct, the patents at issue will be invalidated such that no damages will be awarded to GS Cleantech for infringement and the Court will be asked to determine whether GS Cleantech’s behavior makes this an “exceptional case”. A finding that this is an exceptional case would allow the Court to award the Company and its subsidiary the attorneys’ fees each has expended to date for defense in this case. It is unknown whether GS Cleantech would appeal such a ruling.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company complies with the fair value measurements and disclosures standard which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for those assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet on a fair value basis.

The Company's balance sheet contains derivative financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements and disclosures require that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed according to the process for determining fair value. There are three levels of determining fair value.

Level 1 uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 uses observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Warrant liability: The warrant liability consists of stock warrants issued by the Company that contain a conditional obligation to repurchase feature. In accordance with accounting for warrants as liabilities, the Company calculated the fair value of warrants under Level 3 using the assumptions described in the Note 8 - Fair Value of Warrants. Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability are included in other income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table summarizes financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Warrant liability		$	67			$	-			$	-			$	67

The following table reflects the activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015:

Balance as of December 31, 2014	$	108
Related change in fair value		(29	)
Balance as of March 31, 2015	$	79

Related change in fair value		(12	)

10. Stock-Based Compensation

Common Stock Reserved for Issuance

Aemetis authorized the issuance of 1.2 million shares of common stock under its Zymetis 2006 Stock Plan and Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Plan (together, the “Company Stock Plans”), which includes both incentive and non-statutory stock options and restricted stock awards. The options generally expire five years from the date of grant for all options granted before May 2015 and the expiration term of the options granted from May 2015 is seven years from the date of grant. The options have a general vesting term of 1/12th every three months and are exercisable at any time after vesting subject to continuation of employment.

Non-Plan Stock Options

In November 2012, the Company issued 98 thousand stock options to board members and consultants outside of any Company stock option plan. As of June 30, 2015, all options were vested and 9 thousand options had been exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $5.50 and 89 thousand options were outstanding.

Inducement Equity Plan Options

In March 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an Inducement Equity Plan authorizing the issuance of 100,000 non-statutory options to purchase common stock. The Company issued 25 thousand options during March 2015 with a three year vesting period and five year term at a weighted average exercise price of $3.88. As of June 30, 2015, the 25 thousand options were outstanding.

The following is a summary of options granted under the employee stock plans and the inducement equity plan:

	Shares Available for Grant			Number of Shares Outstanding			Weighted-Average Exercise Price

Balance as of December 31, 2014		5			1,015		$	5.51
Authorized		200			—			—
Granted		(173	)		173			4.28
Exercised		-			(137	)		3.79
Forfeited/expired		50			(50	)		2.04
Balance as of June 30, 2015		82			1,001		$	5.84

Stock-based compensation for employees

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $163 thousand and $159 thousand, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $533 thousand and $290 thousand, respectively.

Valuation and Expense Information

All issuances of stock options or other issuances of equity instruments to employees as the consideration for services received by us are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued. The fair value of options granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock based compensation expense requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of our common stock, the expected term (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of our common stock, a risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. We also estimate forfeitures of unvested stock options. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimates, the difference will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest. We use the simplified calculation of expected life described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and volatility is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the common stock of four entities with characteristics similar to those of the Company. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. We use an expected dividend yield of zero, as we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected forfeitures are assumed to be zero due to the small number of plan participants and the plan.

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, tabular data in thousands except par value and per share data

The Company granted 97,500 stock options and 50,000 restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is equal to the market price of the stock on the grant date.

The fair value calculations for options granted to employees under the employee stock plans during the quarter are based on the following assumptions:

Description	Three months ended June 30, 2015
Dividend-yield		0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.53	%
Expected volatility		69.34	%
Expected life (years)		5
Market value per share on grant date	$	4.35
Fair value per share on grant date	$	2.52

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $868 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense for employees which the Company will amortize over the 1.92 years of weighted remaining term.

11. Agreements

Working Capital Arrangement. In May 2013 we extended the annual Grain Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell that has been in place since March 2011. Pursuant to the agreement we agreed to procure whole yellow corn and grain sorghum (also called “milo”) from J.D. Heiskell. The Company has the ability to obtain grain from other sources subject to certain conditions, however, in the past all of our grain purchases have been from J.D. Heiskell. Title and risk of loss of the corn pass to the Company when the corn is deposited into the weigh bin. The term of the Agreement expires on December 31, 2015 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms. J.D. Heiskell further agrees to sell all ethanol to Kinergy Marketing or another marketing purchaser designated by the Company and all WDG and condensed distillers solubles to A.L. Gilbert. Our relationships with J.D. Heiskell, Kinergy Marketing, and A.L. Gilbert are well established and the Company believes that the relationships are beneficial to all parties involved in utilizing the distribution logistics, reaching out to widespread customer base, managing inventory, and building working capital relationships. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of ethanol to J. D. Heiskell as revenue recognition criteria have been met and any performance required of the Company subsequent to the sale to J.D. Heiskell is inconsequential. These agreements are ordinary purchase and sale agency agreements for an ethanol plant.

15. Management’s Plan

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During 2015, the Company has been reliant on their senior secured lender to provide additional funding and has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to the senior secured lender. Management’s plans for the Company include:

●	Operating the Keyes plant;

●	Continuing to incorporate lower-cost, non-food advanced biofuels feedstock at the Keyes plant when economical;

●	Attracting investors to financing arrangements including working with Advanced BioEnergy LP to issue up to $14.5 million of additional EB-5 notes at 3% interest rate;

●	Refinancing the senior debt with a lender who is able to offer terms conducive to the long term financing of the Keyes plant;

●	Restructure or refinance the State Bank of India note to allow for additional working capital and reduce current financing costs; and

●	Securing higher volumes of shipments from the Kakinada, India biodiesel and refined glycerin facility.

Management believes that through the above mentioned actions it will be able to fund company operations and continue to operate the secured assets for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the existing credit facilities and cash from operations will be sufficient nor that the Company will be successful at maintaining adequate relationships with the senior lenders or significant shareholders. Should the Company require additional financing, there can be no assurances that the additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the plans, estimates and beliefs of Aemetis, Inc. As discussed in further detail above, the actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports we file with the SEC, specifically our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to years relate to the calendar year ended December 31 of the particular year.

Overview

Aemetis is an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based products by the conversion of first generation ethanol and biodiesel plants into advanced biorefineries. We own and operate a 55 million gallon plant in Keyes, California where we manufacture and produce ethanol, wet distillers’ grain (WDG), condensed distillers solubles (CDS) and corn oil and a manufacturing and refining facility of 50 million gallon (150,000 metric tons) in Kakinada, India where we manufacture and produce fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel), crude and refined glycerin and refined palm oil. In September 2013, we received approval by the US Environmental Protection Agency to produce ethanol using grain sorghum and biogas as well as approval for the Keyes plant to use existing combined heat and power systems to generate higher value D5 Advanced Biofuel Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN’s). In April 2014, we received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for the production of biodiesel at our India plant from either waste fats and oils or the non-edible portion of palm oil for sale into European markets. The Company completed the EPA process for importation of our India biodiesel into the United States. In addition, we are continuing to research and develop our microbial technology for the production of renewable biofuels and biochemicals.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Our revenues are derived primarily from sales of ethanol and WDG in North America and biodiesel, glycerin and refined palm oil in India.

Three Months Ended June 30 (in thousands)

	2015		2014		Inc/(dec)			% change

North America	$	34,144	$	53,999	$	(19,855	)		-36.8	%
India		3,923		3,196		727			22.7	%

Total	$	38,067	$	57,195	$	(19, 128	)		-33.4	%

North America. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 74% of our revenue from sales of ethanol, 23% from sales of WDG, and 3% from sales of corn oil and condensed distillers solubles. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, plant production averaged 103% of nameplate capacity. The decrease in revenues between the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014 was due to the ethanol sales volume decreasing by 5% to 14.2 million gallons while the average ethanol price decreased by 35% to $1.78 per gallon. The average price of WDG also decreased 28% to $82.19 per ton while the WDG sales volume decreased 8% to 93.5 thousand tons during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

India. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to expansion and sales of biodiesel into the domestic market as a result of the deregulation of the biodiesel market by the Indian government in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an international sale of distilled biodiesel and base level sales of biodiesel and refined glycerin into the domestic market in the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 73% of our sales from methyl ester/ biodiesel and 27% of our sales from refined glycerin, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 when we generated 88% from sales of methyl ester/ biodiesel and 12% from refined glycerin. In addition, the biodiesel sales volume increased by 16% to 3.6 thousand metric tons while the price decreased by 13% to $80 per metric ton and the sales volume of refined glycerin increased by 321% to 1.6 thousand metric tons while the average price of glycerin decreased by 31% to $661 per metric ton.

Total	$	36,118	$	45,842	$	(9,724	)		-21.2	%

North America. We ground 142 thousand tons of corn at an average price of $176 per ton during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 148 thousand tons of corn at an average price of $227 per ton during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our cost of feedstock per ton decreased by 22% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Ethanol volume and price also decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 resulting in an overall decrease in cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

India. The increase in costs of goods sold was attributable to the increase in revenues from the sales of biodiesel and glycerin. In addition, the volume of total sales increased by 50% to 5.2 thousand metric tons in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 3.5 thousand metric tons in the three months ended June 30, 2014 while the average feedstock costs decreased by 33% to $497 per metric ton in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $737 per metric ton in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

India		322		67		255			380.6	%

Total	$	1,949	$	11,353	$	(9,404	)		-82.8	%

North America. Gross profit decreased by 85.6% due to a decrease in revenues of 37%. In addition, ethanol prices decreased by 35% and corn prices decreased by 22% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

India. The increase of 381% in gross profit was attributable to the 50% increase in volumes of the biodiesel and refined glycerin combined with the decrease in overall feedstock costs by 33% per metric ton in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the volumes and feedstock costs in the three months ended June 30, 2014, resulting in an overall stronger gross profit margin during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The SG&A in the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by 10.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was due to the decrease in marketing expenses of $0.2 million, professional fees of $0.6 million, and travel expenses of $0.1 million offset by increase in salaries and stock based compensation of $0.4 million and interest and penalties of $0.2 million.

India. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2015 slightly decreased to 6% as compared to 7% in the corresponding period of 2014. The decrease was due to a decrease in supplies and services by $10 thousand, utilities and taxes by $10 thousand, and overhead labor in wages by $31 thousand offset by increases in marketing expenses by $34 thousand, operating support charges by $42 thousand, and professional fees by $10 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Other (Income)/Expense. Other (income) expense consists primarily of interest, amortization and extinguishment expense attributable to debt facilities acquired by our parent company and our subsidiaries, Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd. (UBPL), International Biofuels, Inc., Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc., Aemetis Facilities Keyes, Aemetis Technologies and AE Advanced Fuels, and interest accrued on the judgments obtained by Cordillera Fund, UBS and Kiefer. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The fair value of stock and warrants are amortized as amortization expense, except when the extinguishment accounting method is applied, in which case refinanced debt costs are recorded as extinguishment expense. In addition, other (income)/expense consist of scrap sales from UBPL and gain or loss on sale of equipment in the North America entities.

North America. Interest expense was slightly lower in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 due to lower outstanding debt balances. The slight decrease in amortization expense is due to debt issuance costs present during the prior period becoming fully amortized as of June 30, 2015. The increase in other expense in the three months ended June 30, 2015 was due to amortization of a guaranty fee from Amendment no. 8.

India. Interest expense was slightly higher compared with the prior period as a result of an increase in utilization of working capital loan by 149% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in other expense was caused primarily by an increase in foreign exchange losses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Our revenues are derived primarily from sales of ethanol and WDG in North America and biodiesel, glycerin and refined palm oil in India.

Six Months Ended June 30 (in thousands)

	2015		2014		Inc/(dec)			% change

North America	$	67,351	$	113,080	$	(45,729	)		-40.4	%

Total	$	72,793	$	117,860	$	(45,067	)		-38.2	%

North America. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 73% of our revenue from sales of ethanol, 24% from sales of WDG, and 3% from sales of corn oil and condensed distillers solubles. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, plant production averaged 103% of nameplate capacity. The decrease in revenues between the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 is due to a decrease in the ethanol sales volume by 8% to 28.4 million gallons while the average ethanol price decreased by 39% to $1.73. In addition, the average price of WDG decreased by 19% to $86 per ton while the WDG sales volume decreased by 13% to 187 thousand tons in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

India. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to expansion and sales of biodiesel into the domestic market as a result of the deregulation of the biodiesel market by the Indian government in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an international sale of distilled biodiesel and base level sales of biodiesel and refined glycerin into the domestic market in the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated 67% of our sales from methyl ester/ biodiesel and 33% of our sales from refined glycerin compared to 80% of our sales from methyl ester/ biodiesel and 20% of our sales from refined glycerin during the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the biodiesel sales volume increased by 7% to 4.4 thousand metric tons while the average price of biodiesel decreased slightly by 10% to $836 per metric ton and the sales volume of refined glycerin increased by 177% to 2.7 thousand metric tons while the average price of glycerin decreased by 33% to $668 per metric ton in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Total	$	71,072	$	90,883	$	(19,811	)		-21.8	%

North America. We ground 282 thousand tons of corn at an average price of $181 per ton during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 309 thousand tons of corn at an average price of $219 per ton during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our cost of corn per ton decreased by 17% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in cost of goods sold between the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 reflects the decrease in the ethanol sales volume by 8%.

India. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to an increase in revenues from the sales of biodiesel and glycerin. In addition, the overall feedstock costs on average decreased by 4% to $477 per metric ton for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $497 per metric ton in the six months ended June 30, 2014 while the average volumes increased by 36% to 7.1 thousand metric tons in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 5.2 thousand metric tons in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Total	$	1,721	$	26,977	$	(25,256	)		-93.6	%

North America. Gross profit decreased due to the decrease in sales by 40% and decrease in the average ethanol price by 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

India. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the increase of 14% in overall revenues in addition to the expansion of sales volume into the domestic market in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to only one international shipment of distilled biodiesel besides regular domestic biodiesel and refined glycerin sales in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

North America. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 9.4% as compared to 5.0% in the corresponding period of 2014. Given most of our SG&A expenses are fixed, only marketing fee expense is impacted along with sales. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and stock compensation expense of $0.4 million, interest and penalties on property tax of $0.4 million, and professional fees of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense of $0.4 million, and travel expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

India. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to 8.6% as compared to 12.6% in the corresponding period of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the reclassification of salaries of $109 thousand and utilities of $80 thousand from cost of goods sold to SG&A in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as utilization of capacity was lower in that period. In addition, the decrease was attributable to decreases in professional fees of $17 thousand and supplies of $14 thousand, partially offset by increases in operating support charges by $42 thousand and marketing expenses by $51 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other Income/Expense. Other (income) expense consists primarily of interest, amortization and extinguishment expense attributable to debt facilities acquired by our parent company and our subsidiaries, UBPL, International Biofuels, Inc., Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc., Aemetis Facilities Keyes, Aemetis Technologies, AE Advanced Fuels, and interest accrued on the judgment obtained by Cordillera Fund, UBS and Kiefer. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The fair value of stock and warrants are amortized as amortization expense, except when the extinguishment accounting method is applied, in which case refinanced debt costs are recorded as extinguishment expense. In addition, other (income) expense consists of scrap sales from UBPL and gain or loss on sale of equipment in the North America entities.

North America. Interest expense was slightly lower in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to $18.0 million in principal and $0.1 million in interest payments on our senior notes and Sub Notes. The decrease in amortization expense was due to debt issuance costs present during the prior period becoming fully amortized in the six months ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by the addition of the maturity date extension fees on senior debt during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The debt extinguishment costs were higher in the six months ended June 30, 2015 than in the corresponding period of 2014 as a result of the refinance of three Sub Notes with two accredited investors being accounted for under extinguishment accounting in the 2015 period compared to the only two Sub Notes with one accredited investor that were refinanced in the 2014 period being accounted for under extinguishment accounting. The increase in other expense in the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due to amortization of a guaranty fee from Amendment No. 8 to the Note Purchase Agreement compared to income recognized from extinguishment of long standing liabilities and gain on sale of assets in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

India. Interest expense increased slightly as a result of an increase in the outstanding balance on the SBI loan and working capital loan. The slight increase in other income was caused primarily by an increase in foreign exchange gains of $24 thousand and $12 thousand in other scrap sales in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $3.3 million at June 30, 2015, of which $2.2 million was held in our North American entities and $1.1 million was held in our Indian subsidiary. Our current ratio at June 30, 2015 was 0.41 compared to a current ratio of 0.29 at December 31, 2014. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of cash generated from operations, remaining cash balances, EB-5 program borrowings, amounts available for borrowing, if any, under our senior debt facilities and our subordinated debt facilities, and any additional funds raised through sales of equity.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents, current assets, current liabilities and debt at the end of each period were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,325	$	332
Current assets (including cash, cash equivalents, and deposits)		12,259		7,933
Current liabilities (excluding short term debt)		15,192		14,570
Short & long term debt and other long term liabilities		99,641		77,578

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations and borrowings under various debt arrangements. During the first six months of 2015, $20.0 million in funding from the EB-5 program was released to Aemetis’s subsidiary, AE Advanced Fuels, Inc. Additionally, the EB-5 escrow account is holding funds from 22 investors pending approval by the USCIS. These funds represent $11.0 million of funding that is expected to be released from the escrow account during the second half of 2015 and early 2016. Our principal uses of cash have been to service indebtedness and capital expenditures. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our principal uses of cash in the future. Global financial and credit markets have been volatile in recent years, and future adverse conditions of these markets could negatively affect our ability to secure funds or raise capital at a reasonable cost or at all. For additional discussion of our various debt arrangements see Note 5. Notes Payable of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

During the first six months of 2015, ethanol prices have declined significantly, reducing our spread as of June 30, 2015. We operate in a volatile market in which we have little control over the major components of production costs and product revenues. As such, we expect cash provided by operating activities to fluctuate in future periods primarily as a result of changes in the prices for corn, ethanol, WDG, corn oil, CDS, biodiesel, waste fats and oils, NPRO, and natural gas. To the extent that we experience periods in which the spread between ethanol prices and corn and energy costs narrow or the spread between biodiesel prices and waste fats and oils or palm oil and energy costs narrow, we may require additional working capital to fund operations.

Management believes that through: (i) operating the Keyes plant, (ii) continuing to incorporate lower-cost non-food advanced biofuels feedstock at the Keyes plant when economical, thereby increasing operating margins, (iii) selling additional EB-5 Notes, (iv) refinancing senior debt on terms more commensurate with the long-term financing of capital assets, (v) securing higher volumes of sales from the Kakinada plant, (vi) continuing to expand the domestic India markets, and (vii) using the availability on the existing working capital credit line, the Company will be able to obtain the liquidity necessary to fund company operations for the foreseeable future. However, there is no assurance that our operations will generate significant positive cash flow, or that additional funds will be available to us, through borrowings or otherwise, on favorable terms when required, or at all.

At June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of principal, interest and fees, net of discounts, on all Third Eye Capital financing arrangements equaled $57.4 million. The current maturity date for all of the Third Eye Capital financing arrangements is April 1, 2016; provided, however, that pursuant to Amendment No. 11 to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated August 6, 2015 we have the right to extend the maturity date of the Notes to April 1, 2017 upon notice and payment of a 5% extension fee. We intend to pay the Notes through operational cash flow, EB-5 subordinated debt, a senior debt refinancing and/or equity financing. We have engaged an investment bank to assist with exploring financing alternatives. We believe that we should be able to refinance our senior debt facility with commercial rates commensurate with our current credit profile.

Our senior lender has provided a series of accommodating amendments to the existing and previous loan facilities in the past as described in further detail in Note 5. Notes Payable of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. However, there can be no assurance that our senior lender will continue to provide further amendments or accommodations or will fund additional amounts in the future.

We also rely on our working capital lines with J.D. Heiskell in California and Secunderabad Oil, Limited, in India to fund our commercial arrangements for the acquisitions of feedstock. J.D. Heiskell currently provides us with working capital for our California ethanol plant and Secunderabad Oil, Limited currently provides us with working capital for our Kakinada facility. The ability of both J.D. Heiskell and Secunderabad to continue to provide us with working capital depends in part on both of their respective financial strength and banking relationships.

Change in Working Capital and Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, current and long term debt increased by $22.1 million primarily due to (i) additional borrowings of $20.0 million received from the EB-5 investors, (ii) stock repurchase costs of $8.0 million added to the outstanding balance of and $3.0 million in draws against the Revolving Credit Facility with our senior lender, (iii) $2.5 million in working capital loans from our working capital arrangement with Secunderabad Oils Limited, (iv) monitoring, waiver, and maturity date of senior debt extension fees of $3.3 million added to the Revolving Credit Facility with our senior lender and $0.4 million in fees added to notes in extension of maturity date of Sub Notes, and (v) accrued interest of $4.8 million. The increase in current and long term debt was partially offset by decreases due to: (i) payments of principal of $17.8 million to our senior lender and $0.2 million to our subordinated lenders, (ii) $1.0 million of principal payments to our working capital partners in India, (iii) payments of interest of $0.2 million, and (iv) amortization of debt discounts of $0.5 million. Current assets increased by $4.3 million due to (i) a $3.0 million increase in cash, (ii) a $0.9 million increase in accounts receivable and(iii) a $0.9 million increase in inventory, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.

Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.5 million consisting of non-cash charges of $7.6 million, net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.9 million, and net loss of $14.9 million. The non-cash charges consisted of: (i) $4.2 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and patents, (ii) $2.4 million in depreciation expenses, (iii) $0.7 million in stock-based compensation expense and (iv) $0.3 million in loss on extinguishment of debt. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of an increase in accounts receivable of $0.9 million, increase in inventory of $0.9 million, and increase in other current assets of $0.1 million, partially offset by: (i) a $0.1 million decrease in accounts payable, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in other liabilities, (iii) a $0.4 million increase in prepaid expenses, and (iv) a $4.8 million increase in accrued interest.

Cash used by investing activities was minimal.

Cash provided by financing activities was $6.5 million, primarily from proceeds from borrowings of $25.5 million, partially offset by payments in principal on long-term term loans of $18.9 million.

As of the publication of this report, $0.6 million remained available for future draw on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. We have contractual obligations related to our long-term debt, operating leases and other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2015, there has been no material change in our contractual obligations from December 31, 2014, other than an increase in our long term debt due to additional borrowings of $20.0 million received from the EB-5 escrow, an $8.0 million cost of repurchase of stock, $3.3 million in monitoring, waiver, and maturity date of senior debt extension fees, $3.0 million in cash drawn for operations from the Revolving Credit Facility, $0.4 million in fees added to subordinated notes to extend the maturity date, and accrued interest of $4.8 million, partially offset by payments of principal of $17.8 million to our senior lender and $0.2 million to subordinated lenders, $1.0 million of principal payments to our working capital partners in India, payments of interest of $0.2 million, and amortization of debt discounts of $0.5 million, that will affect our future liquidity as follows:

			Payments due by Period ( In thousands)
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3 - 5 years

Long-term debt obligations	$	99,408	$	14,781	$	64,627	$	20,000

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no outstanding off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments 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 amount of net sales and expenses for each period. We believe that of our most significant accounting policies, the following represents our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain: revenue recognition; recoverability of long-lived assets, convertible notes, and extinguishment accounting. These significant accounting principles are more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

None reported beyond those disclosed in our 2014 annual report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices and currency translation. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various types of transactions involving financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in commodity prices and interest rates. We enter into no market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 we did not have any open firm-price purchase commitments with our feedstock suppliers. At times in our Indian biodiesel business, we reduce our exposure to fluctuations in feedstock prices and the price of biodiesel by entering into fixed price contracts to buy and sell commodities. At the time we enter into a purchase commitment for feedstock, our goal is to also enter into an off-take arrangement with our customer to purchase the biodiesel at a set price.

Commodity Price Risk

In our US operations we produce ethanol, distiller’s grains and corn oil from corn. Our business is sensitive to changes in the prices of each of these commodities. The price of corn is subject to fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather; corn planted and harvested acreage; changes in national and global supply and demand; and government programs and policies. We use natural gas in the ethanol production process and, as a result, our business is also sensitive to changes in the price of natural gas. The price of natural gas is influenced by such weather factors as extreme heat or cold in the summer and winter, or other natural events like hurricanes in the spring, summer and fall. Other natural gas price factors include North American exploration and production, and the amount of natural gas in underground storage during both the injection and withdrawal seasons. Ethanol prices are sensitive to world crude-oil supply and demand; crude oil refining capacity and utilization; government regulation; and consumer demand for alternative fuels. Distiller’s grains prices are sensitive to various demand factors such as population of livestock, prices for feed alternatives, and supply factors, primarily wet distillers grains production by California ethanol plants and dry distiller’s grains production from Midwest ethanol plants. Even though our commodity outputs and input are sensitive to changes in market prices, we only opportunistically pursue fixed contract arrangements on a limited basis with regard to the various commodities used in our business.

Ethanol Production

A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate our ethanol production exposure to ethanol, corn, distiller’s grains and natural gas price risk. Market risk related to these factors is estimated as the potential change in net income resulting from hypothetical 10% changes in prices of our expected corn and natural gas inputs, and ethanol and distillers grains outputs for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The results of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, are as follows (in millions):

Commodity	Estimated Total Volume Requirements for the Next 3 Months (1)		Unit of Measure	Net Income Effect of Approximate 10% Change in Price
Ethanol		18.3	Gallons	$	3.20
Corn		6.5	Bushels	$	3.45
Distillers grains		0.1	Tons (2)	$	0.99
Natural gas		0.4	MMBTU (3)	$	0.01

(1) Volume requirements assume production at name-plate capacity.

(2) Distillers grains quantities are stated on an equivalent ton basis.

(3) Millions of Thermal Units

In our India operations we are subject to market risk with respect to the price and availability of the main raw materials we use to produce our products including refined palm oil, palm stearin, animal fats, waste oils, crude glycerin, and chemicals. Unfavorable commodity margins result from a narrowing or surpassing of the feedstock costs over finish goods sales revenues, which represents an unfavorable market condition. This is especially true when market conditions do not allow us to pass along increased feedstock costs to our customers due to the commodity nature of our finished goods sales. The availability and pricing of feedstock for our biodiesel plant fluctuate with unpredictable factors such as global demand and supply of raw materials, weather conditions, and governmental policies toward agriculture and biofuels and international trade agreements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from issuing term and revolving loans that bear variable interest rates. Specifically, we had $59 million, before unamortized debt issuance costs, in US Dollar denominated outstanding variable interest-rate term debt as of June 30, 2015. Interest rates on our variable-rate debt are determined based upon the market interest rate of LIBOR. A 1% increase in LIBOR would increase our annual interest cost on such debt by approximately $0.6 million in the aggregate. Other details of our outstanding debt are discussed in 5. Notes Payable in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included as a part of this report.

The interest rate on our India operations debt facility is subject to adjustments based on the Reserve Bank of India advance rate. Based on the amount of our senior secured floating-rate term debt as of June 30, 2015, each 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense and cash outlay by approximately $64 thousand US dollars. This potential increase or decrease is based on the simplified assumption that the level of floating-rate debt remains constant with an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease as of June 30, 2015 with no subsequent change in rates for the remainder of the period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We do expect to have exposure to foreign currency risk as we conduct most of our India business in Indian Rupees. Our India subsidiaries use the Indian Rupee local currency as their functional currency. Our primary exposure with respect to foreign currency exchange rate risk is the change in the Indian Rupee (INR) to US Dollar (USD) exchange rate. For consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities are translated at month-end exchange rates. Items of income and expense are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining year-to-date net income (loss) on the Balance Sheet, but are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains (losses) arising from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income (loss) on the Statement of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized a loss of $84 thousand and no adjustment, respectively, associated with foreign currency translation adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss). We prepared a foreign currency exchange rate risk sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to currency fluctuations. Using the three months ended June 30, 2015 Indian subsidiary financials and applying the appropriate actual weighted average or end exchange rate and then incrementing by 10 points each respective INR to USD exchange rate resulted in a $36 thousand impact to Net income (loss), a $4.8 million change in Total Liabilities, a $2.4 million change in Stockholders’ equity (deficit), and a $2.3 million change in Total Assets in our Indian subsidiary.

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures along with the related internal controls over financial reporting were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On March 10, 2011, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India under the Agreement of Loan for Overall Limit dated as of June 26, 2008. The notice informed UBPL that an event of default had occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan commencing June 2009 and demanded repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 crore rupees (approximately $3.2 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest accrues at the default interest rate of 2% above the State Bank of India Advance Rate. The default period began on July 1, 2009 when the principal payment was deemed past due; and we have accrued interest at the default rate since the beginning of the default period. In addition, since the bank demanded payment of the balance, we have classified the entire loan amount as current. On March 12, 2011, the State Bank of India filed a legal case before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (“DRT”), Hyderabad, for recovery of approximately $5.0 million against the Company and also impleaded Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (“APIIC”) to expedite the process of registration of the factory land for which counter reply is yet to be filed by APIIC. UBPL asserts that the State Bank of India did not provide the committed funding of the working capital loan and only funded a portion of the term loan, thus requiring the Company to enter into a working capital facility at unfavorable terms which served to hinder the business from developing at the planned rate. The State Bank of India has additionally required the personal guarantee of our Executive Officer and the registration of the land underlying the factory as conditions prior to restructure of the loan. Payments have recently been made against the facility; however, the State Bank of India has rejected these payments as a good faith effort. In January 2014, the Company made payment of $162 thousand (1 crore rupees) against principal on the facility which was accepted by the State Bank of India. UBPL filed for a stay against further collection efforts pending the development of sufficient business in a domestic or international market that would allow UBPL to make meaningful repayments against the facility. In May 2014 the Company obtained an interim stay in exchange for payments of approximately $0.4 million. In the event that the Company is unable to prevail in the aforementioned legal case, DRT may pass a decree for recovery of the amount due, which could include seizing company property for recovery of amounts due.

The only remaining claim alleges that GS Cleantech inequitably conducted itself before the United States Patent Office when obtaining the patents at issue. A trial in the District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on that single issue is currently scheduled to begin October 5, 2015. If the defendants, including the Company and its subsidiary, succeed in proving inequitable conduct, the patents at issue will be invalidated such that no damages will be awarded to GS Cleantech for infringement and the Court will be asked to determine whether GS Cleantech’s behavior makes this an “exceptional case”. A finding that this is an exceptional case would allow the Court to award to the Company and its subsidiary the attorneys’ fees each has expended to date for defense in this case. It is unknown whether GS Cleantech would appeal such a ruling.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

No change in risk factors since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2015.

On April 14, 2015, we issued an aggregate of 50,000 shares of our common stock to consultants at the market price of $4.26 per share in exchange for services rendered or to be rendered to the Company.

Each of these issuances was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as sales of securities not involving any public offering.
