NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AEMETIS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. 
Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Aemetis, Inc. is an international advanced fuels and specialty chemical company focused on the production of renewable fuels and chemicals and the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that are substitutes for traditional petroleum-based products.  In 2010, the Company began retrofitting an ethanol production facility in Keyes, California and in April 2011 began high volume production of ethanol and wet distiller’s grain (WDG).
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the 2011 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2011 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AEMETIS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of December 31, 2011 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 months ended March 31, 2012 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.
 
Accounts Receivable, net.  The Company sells ethanol and wet distillers grains through third-party marketing arrangements generally without requiring collateral.  The Company sells biodiesel and glycerin to a variety of customers and may require advanced payment based on the size and credit worthiness of the customer.  Accounts receivables consist of product sales made to large credit worthy customers. Trade accounts receivable are presented at original invoice amount, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
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.
 
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 acquired for development of production facilities, 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.
 
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 initial fair value less accumulated amortization over the estimated useful life. Amortization commences upon granting of the patent and is amortized over the patent protection period or shorter period upon abandonment of the patent.
 
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 segment reporting assets using market indicators and discounted cash flow modeling and compared it to the net book value of the acquired assets. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company then determined the fair value of the asset. 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AEMETIS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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 fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.
 
Assets held for sale. The Company analyzes land holdings, buildings and equipment for their strategic importance to the future of the Company, and if determined asset is disposable, the asset will be sold opportunistically in the open market to the highest bidder.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted 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 losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computations as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
The following table shows the weighted-average number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011:

Total weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation
    13,006,848       34,390,696  
 
Comprehensive Income. ASC 220 Comprehensive Income 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 and accumulated other comprehensive income consists solely of cumulative currency translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries. 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. subsidiaries that operate 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 income. 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), net.

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 (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
 
Aemetis recognized three reportable geographic segments: “India”, “North America” and “Other.”
 
  
The “India” operating segment encompasses the Company’s 50 million gallon per year (MGY) nameplate capacity biodiesel plant in Kakinada, India, the administrative offices in Hyderabad, India, and the holding companies in Nevada and Mauritius.
  
The “North America” operating segment includes the Company’s leased 55 MGY nameplate capacity ethanol plant in Keyes, California and the assets (principally land) held for sale in Sutton, Nebraska and in Danville, Illinois.
  
The “Other” segment encompasses the Company’s costs associated with new market development, company-wide fund raising, formation, executive compensation and other corporate expenses.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, mandatorily redeemable Series B preferred stock and debt.  The fair value of the Company’s debt was unable to be determined based on the operating structure of the cross-collateralized debt and the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt carrying value approximates fair value based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans in India with similar terms and maturities. The Company is also unable to estimate the fair value of the long-term debt (related party) due to the lack of comparable available credit facilities.  The fair value of all other financial instruments was estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
Share-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes share based compensation 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 and adjusted to reflect only those shares that are expected to vest.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AEMETIS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In July 2008 the Company drew approximately $4.6 million against the secured term loan.  The loan principal amount is repayable in 20 quarterly installments of approximately $270,000, using exchange rates corresponding to the date of payment, with the first installment due in June 2009 and the last installment payment due in March 2014.  The interest rate under this facility is subject to adjustment every two years, based on 0.25% above the Reserve Bank of India advance rate of 7.5 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The principal payments scheduled for June, September and December in 2009, and quarters of 2010 through year-to-date 2012 were not made. The term loan provides for liquidating damages at a rate of 2% per annum for the period of default. For the three months ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, UBPL accrued interest of $194,196 and $189,671, respectively on the State Bank of India Secured term loan.
 
On October 7, 2009, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India.  The notice informs UBPL that an event of default has occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan due in June, 2009 and demands repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 Crores (approximately $4 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses by October 10, 2009.  As of March 31, 2012, UBPL was in default on thirty-one months of interest, twelve principal repayments, and all covenants, including asset coverage and debt service coverage ratios.  Additional provisions of default include the bank having the unqualified right to disclose or publish the Company’s name and its director’s names as defaulter in any medium or media.  At the bank’s option, it may also demand payment of the balance of the loan, since the principal payments have been in default since June 2009.  As a result the Company has classified the entire loan amount as current. The State Bank of India has filed a legal case before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Hyderabad, for recovery of approximately $5 million against the company and also impleaded Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to expedite the process of registration of Factory land for which counter reply is yet to be filed by APIIC.  In the case that the Company is unable to prevail with its legal case, DRT may pass a Decree for recovery of due amount, which will impact operations of the company including action up to seizing company property for recovery of their dues.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, cash interest payments of $93,163 and $0, respectively, were made against the outstanding loan balance.   As of March 31, 2012, no additional borrowings were available on the line. On September 30, 2011, Mr. Cagan transfered a portion of his ownership to McAfee Capital, LLC. (62.35%), Clyde Berg (6.18%) and Mougins Capital (5.11%).

Working Capital Operating Agreement.  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. Either party can terminate the agreement at any time without penalty.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company made principal payments to Secunderabad of approximately $929,739 and $2,426,015, respectively, under the agreement and $72,543 and $1,941 respectively, in interest for working capital funding.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Company had $1,663,912 and $2,139,519 outstanding under this agreement, respectively, and included as current short-term borrowings on the balance sheet.

In connection with the acquisition of Cilion, the financing agreement with Third Eye Capital was amended and restated to include three new credit facilities.  The new credit agreement provides for (i) a new senior secured term loan in the principal amount of $15 million, used to pay the cash portion of the Cilion acquisition (the “Term Loan”), (ii) a senior secured loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million to finance outstanding balance and terminate future liabilities under the Revenue Participation obligations (the “RevPar Loan”); (iii) a senior secured $18 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”) used to redeem approximately $7.3 million in remaining outstanding debt with Third Eye Capital at time of acquisition, pay fees related to the transaction and provide working capital.  Upon the close of the Cilion acquisition, the amount of $3 million remained available on the Revolving Loan.  The Company issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock in connection with this financing.  The notes bear interest at rates ranging from 5% to 17%.  The Revolving Notes mature on July 2013 and provide one-year extensions. The Term Loan and RevPar Loan mature on July 6, 2014. 
 
On October 18, 2012, Third Eye Capital agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of the Existing Notes to July 6, 2014; (ii) to increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Facility by $6,000,000, to a total of $24,000,000; (iii) to modify the redemption waterfall so that any payments would be applied first to the increase in the Revolving notes; (iv) granted waivers to the Borrowers’ obligation to pay or comply, and any event of default which has occurred or may occur as a result of such failures of the Borrowers to pay or comply with certain financial covenants and principal payments, including financial covenants for the quarter ended September 30 and December 31, 2012; and (v) agreed to accrue interest until the earlier of certain events described in the Limited Waiver or February 1, 2013.  In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment, the Borrowers, among other things, agreed to pay the Lenders a waiver fee in the amount of $4,000,000; and (ii) cash in the amount of $28,377 for certain unreimbursed costs. After paying the $4 million waiver fee, $2 million remained available for draw on the Revolving Loan Facility.
 
Related Party Revolving Line of Credit Agreement
 
On October 16, 2012, Aemetis International, Inc. (AII), a subsidiary of Aemetis, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Laird Q. Cagan and co-owners in the financing arrangement, pursuant to which AII extended the maturity date of the loan until July 1, 2014 and placed an average trailing daily closing price minimum of $0.05 per share for conversion of fees and accrued interest.  In exchange for the extension, the Company agreed to pay a $262,919 fee reflecting 5% of the outstanding balance of the Revolving Line of Credit, payable in cash or stock, at the same conversion price and terms as the accrued interest conversion terms.
 
Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes
 
On March 4, 2011, and amended January 19, 2012, and July 24, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Advanced BioEnergy, LP, a California limited Partnership for the issuance of up to 72 subordinated convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 3%, each note in the principal amount of $500,000 due and payable four years from the date of the note for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36,000,000.
 
Advanced BioEnergy, LP arranges investments with foreign investors, who each make investments in the Keyes plant project in investment increments of $500,000.  The Company sold notes in the amount of $1,000,000 to the first two investors.  The availability of the remaining $35,000,000 will be determined by the ability of Advanced BioEnergy, LP to attract additional qualified investors.
 
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
 
On June 21, 2012, Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. (AAFK), a subsidiary of Aemetis, Inc. entered into Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements with Third Eye Capital pursuant to which AAFK sold 5% Subordinated Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and 5-year warrants exercisable for 133,333 shares of Aemetis common stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, and paid a fee of $50,000.  These Notes were subsequently refinanced as part of the restructuring in connection with the Cilion acquisition discussed above.

Land Held for Sale
 
On May 10, 2012, The Company sold its land held for sale with a carrying value of $885,000 for $1,126,867. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness owed to TEC.
 
Acquisition of Cilion
 
On July 6, 2012, the Company acquired Cilion, Inc. through a merger. The Company has been leasing the property owed by Cilion. Our primary lender supported the financing of the acquisition in anticipation the merger will be accretive to earnings in the long term. Acquiring the real property and assets associated with the ethanol plant provides assets beneficial to the Company in securing additional financing and much needed flexibility not available under the lease in the development, testing, and commercialization of next generation biofuels technologies owed by the Company.
 
At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Cilion Preferred Stock was automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (a) $16,500,000 and (b) 20,000,000 shares of Aemetis common stock and (c) the right to receive an additional cash amount of $5,000,000 plus interest at the rate of 3% per annum, which is payable upon the satisfaction by the Company of certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement.
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by discounting the anticipated cash flow stream at an estimated market rate of interest based on potential payment timing. The merger agreement is the basis for determining the amount of the payment. The $5,000,000 contingent consideration is payable when the TEC loans have been satisfied. The Company anticipates the contingent consideration will be redeemed after satisfaction of amounts owed under senior secured debt arrangements with TEC. Management projects full satisfaction of the TEC obligations will occur within the next two to three years.
 
The preliminary acquisition date fair value of consideration for Cilion, Inc. is recapped below based on the trading value of the stock at the time of the acquisition and the expected fair value of the contingent consideration (in thousands):
 
Cash
  $ 16,500  
Fair value of shares issued
    15,600

The preliminary acquisition date fair value of consideration was allocated to Cilion’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of July 6, 2012 as set forth below (in thousands):
 
Tangible Assets:
     
Accounts receivable

The Company believes the Cilion shareholders valued the equity component of the consideration higher than the current quoted market price.  The Company believes the lower market share price is due to the recent lack of information available to the market and the Cilion shareholders valued Aemetis common stock at value higher than the current trading price on the OTC market, giving rise to the gain on bargain purchase accounting treatment.

Management’s Plan
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses and negative cash flow and currently has a working capital deficit and total stockholders’ deficit. The Company has been reliant on their senior secured lender to provide additional funding requirements when cash flows do not support the payment requirements on the Company’s debt.  Although the current agreements in place with this lender do not require any payments or covenant requirements through February 2013, the continuation of the Company depends on management being able to maintain this relationship with the lender or find other financing options to provide cash as the company expands its technologies.  Management’s plans to continue to operate the Company include:
 
As discussed in the subsequent event footnote, the acquisition of Cilion provided the Company with a substantial asset to use as collateral both with their current lender and with future financings.
 
Continue to work with the Company’s senior lender to provide financing as well as explore other financing arrangements including working with Advanced BioEnergy LP to attract investors for the remaining $35 million of notes available under the program, or through the issuance of additional equity.
 
Development of Joint Venture agreements for the expansion of the Company’s technologies.
 
Continued support from major shareholders and board of directors in providing cash financing.
 
Management believes that through the above mentioned actions it will be able to sustain the company as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the existing credit facilities and cash from operations will be sufficient nor that we will be successful at maintaining adequate relationships with our senior lender or significant shareholders that will result in additional financings.  Should the Company require additional financing, there can be no assurances that the additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:
 
Overview. Discussion of our business and overall analysis of financial and other highlights affecting us to provide context for the remainder of MD&A.
Results of Operations. An analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. An analysis of changes in our balance sheets and cash flows and discussion of our financial condition.
Critical Accounting Estimates. Accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Aemetis, Inc. consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the plans, estimates and beliefs of Aemetis, Inc. 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
 
We are an international advanced fuels and specialty chemical company focused on the production of renewable fuels and chemicals and the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that are substitutes for traditional petroleum-based products and non-food feedstock conversion of traditional ethanol and biodiesel plants using our operating ethanol and biodiesel facilities. We own and operate a manufacturing and refining facility in Kakinada, India where we manufacture and produce fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel), crude and refined glycerin and refined palm oil.  We also operate a plant in Keyes, CA where we manufacture and produce ethanol and wet distillers’ grain (WDG). On July 6, 2012, we acquired Cilion, Inc., the owner of the Keyes plant.  In addition, we are continuing to research the viability of commercializing our microbial technology, which would enable us to produce renewable industrial biofuels and biochemicals and our integrated starch-cellulose technology, which would enable us to produce ethanol from non-food feedstock.

Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues are derived primarily from sales of ethanol and WDG in North America and biodiesel and glycerin in India.

Total
  $ 44,196     $ 738     $ 43,458  
 
North America.  The increase in revenues reflects the operation of the Keyes, CA plant, which restarted in late April 2011.  We generated 79% of revenue from sales of ethanol and 21% of revenue from sales of WDG and syrup.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 plant production averaged 101% of nameplate capacity.
 
India.  The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of methyl ester as a result of the development of a sales channel for methyl ester into the chemical markets as well as increased sales of refined glycerin as a result of the completion of our glycerin refining unit.  Revenues included $0.9 million from sales of methyl ester/biodiesel and $0.6 million from sales of refined glycerin.  In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had revenues of $0.8 million from the resale of refined palm oil.

North America.  The increase in costs of goods sold reflects the operation of the Keyes, CA plant beginning in late April 2011.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we ground 133,505 tons of corn.
 
 
22

 
 
India.  The increase in costs of goods sold was attributable to an increase in revenues from the sales of biodiesel and glycerin. For the three months ending March 31, 2012, sales of biodiesel increased by 1,164 metric tons over the same period in the prior year and sales of refined glycerin increased by 744 metric tons.

Total
  $ 1,963     $ 2,103     $ (140 )
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for employees, marketing expenses related to sales of ethanol and WDG in North America and biodiesel and other products in India, as well as professional fees, other corporate expenses, and related facilities expenses.
 
North America.  The decrease in total SG&A was primarily attributable to the classification in 2011 of approximately $809,000 in expenses incurred during the pre-production period, partially offset by 2012 increases in compensation expense for new headcount and ethanol marketing costs of approximately $542,000.
 
 
23

 
 
India.  Our single largest expense in SG&A is the operational support fees paid to Secunderabad Oils Limited.,   These fees are computed as a percentage of operating profits.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred approximately $60,000 and $42,000, respectively in operational support fees.
 
Other Income/Expense
 
Other income (expense) consisted primarily of interest expense attributable to debt facilities acquired by our parent company, our subsidiaries Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd., International Biofuels, Inc., AE Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. and interest accrued on the judgment obtained by Cordillera Fund, L.P. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The payment of fees is amortized as interest expense. We incurred interest expense of approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 ($0.8 million from India and $3.2 million from North America) compared to approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 ($1.1 million from India and $1.0 million from North America).
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $111,654 at March 31, 2012, of which $93,731 was held in our North American entities and $17,923 was held in our Indian subsidiary. Our current ratio at March 31, 2012 was 0.20 compared to a current ratio of 0.24 at December 31, 2011. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of our remaining cash balances, amounts available for borrowing, if any, under our senior debt facilities and our subordinated debt facilities, cash generated from operations, and any additional funds raised through sales of equity.
 
In July 2012 we acquired the Keyes plant and refinanced the project to include a revolving credit line with our senior lender.  Our lender required repayment of certain obligations and fees under other agreements, and we closed the purchase with $3 million available under the $18 million credit facility. Our senior lender has a senior lien on all of our assets, which limits our ability to obtain working capital through commercial banks or through other means.  We are, therefore, dependent on our senior lender for future debt financing.
 
Liquidity
 
Cash and cash equivalents, current assets, current liabilities and debt at the end of each period were as follows:

 
 
March 31,
2012
   
December 31,
2011
 
                 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 111,654     $ 249,466  
Current assets (including cash, cash equivalents, and deposits)
    6,724,176       7,128,916  
Current liabilities (including short term debt)
    34,009,413       29,428,067  
Short and long term debt
    34,619,138       29,646,435  
 
 
24

 
 
Change in Working Capital and Cash Flows
 
Current and long term debt increased primarily (i) due to accrued fees and interest in the amount of $2.3 million associated with borrowings to retrofit the Keyes plant and, (ii) additional borrowings under subordinated debt in the amount of $3.0 million to fund losses from operations.
 
Current liabilities increased primarily due to vendor trade credit received in connection with the operation of the Keyes plant of $1.5 million and borrowings under loans. Current assets decreased primarily due to a decrease in inventory as a result of lower levels of denaturant and chemicals at our Keyes plant.  This decrease in inventory was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable associated with our Kakinada plant.
 
Cash used in operating activities of $3.0 million resulted primarily from our; (i) consolidated net loss of $8.2 million, (ii) non-cash adjustments to net loss of $1.8 million, (iii) inventory decrease of $0.9 million, (iv) accounts payable increase of $0.9 million, and (v) accrued interest expense increase of $2.2 million.
 
Cash used in investing activities was insignificant.
 
Cash provided by financing activities of $2.8 million resulted primarily from borrowings under subordinated debt facilities.
 
Available Credit Facilities

On July 6, 2012, we entered into a new revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $18.0 million. The credit facility expires on July 5, 2013, provided, however, that the facility may be extended for up to two additional periods of one year upon certain conditions, including the payment of a renewal fee.  Interest accrues at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate and the amount outstanding. We are also required to pay customary fees and expenses associated with the credit facility.
 
Pursuant to the July 6, 2012 credit facility, we are required to (i) maintain a minimum amount of Free Cash Flow of not less than $1.5 million at the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) debt to value ratio of 75% tested semi-annually, (iii) minimum quarterly ethanol production of not less than 14 million gallons per quarter, and (iv) limit purchases of capital expenditures to not more than $50,000 per quarter.  In addition, we are prohibited from incurring any additional indebtedness (other than specific intercompany indebtedness or specific subordinated indebtedness) absent the lender’s prior consent. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of its assets in favor of the lender.
 
On October 18, 2012, Third Eye Capital agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of the Existing Notes to July 6, 2014; (ii) increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Facility by $6,000,000, to a total of $24,000,000; (iii) modify the redemption waterfall so that any payments would be applied first to the increase in the Revolving notes; (iv) grant waivers to the Borrowers’ obligation to pay or comply, and any event of default which has occurred or may occur as a result of such failures of the Borrowers to pay or comply with certain financial covenants and principal payments, including financial covenants for the quarter ended September 30 and December 31, 2012; and (v) agreed to accrue interest until the earlier of certain events described in the Limited Waiver of February 1, 2013.  In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment, the Borrowers, among other things, agreed to pay the Lenders a waiver fee in the amount of $4,000,000; and (ii) cash in the amount of $28,377 for certain unreimbursed costs. After paying the $4 million waiver fee, $2 million remained available for future draws on the Revolving Loan Facility.
 
Notes Payable to Related Parties
 
In 2008, we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Laird Cagan in the amount of $5,000,000 secured by certain investments, intellectual property, securities and other collateral of ours, excluding the collateral securing our obligations with Third Eye Capital and the collateral securing our obligations with the State Bank of India. The Revolving Line of Credit bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured on July 1, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining amount due and payable was $4,723,990.

On October 16, 2012, Aemetis International, Inc. (AII), a subsidiary of Aemetis, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Laird Q. Cagan and co-owners in the financing arrangement, pursuant to which AII extended the maturity date of the loan until July 1, 2014 and placed an average trailing daily closing price minimum of $0.05 per share for conversion of fees and accrued interest.  In exchange for the extension, the Company agreed to pay a $262,919 fee reflecting 5% of the outstanding balance of the Revolving Line of Credit, payable in cash or stock, at the same conversion price and terms as the accrued interest conversion terms.
 
Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes
 
On March 4, 2011, and amended January 19, 2012, and July 24, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Advanced BioEnergy, LP, a California limited partnership for the issuance of up to 72 subordinated convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 3%, each note in the principal amount of $500,000 due and payable four years from the date of the note for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36,000,000.
 
Advanced BioEnergy, LP arranges investments with foreign investors, who each make investments in the Keyes plant project in investment increments of $500,000.  The Company sold notes in the amount of $1,000,000 to the first two investors.  The availability of the remaining $35,000,000 will be determined by the ability of Advanced BioEnergy, LP to attract additional qualified investors.
 
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, 2011.

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 were not 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.  Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a lack of adequate resources with sufficient GAAP knowledge, experience, and training.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors 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 a 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
 
Discussed below are changes made to our internal control over financial reporting since our last filing through March 31, 2012, in response to the identified material weaknesses.
 
Our efforts to improve our internal controls are ongoing and focused on expanding our organizational capabilities to improve our control environment and on implementing process changes to strengthen our internal control and monitoring activities. In addition, although we are implementing remedial measures to address all of the identified material weaknesses as discussed below, our assessment of the impact of these measures have not been completed as of the filing date of this report.
 
As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have, among other things:
 
  
expanded our accounting policy and controls organization by creating and filling new positions with qualified accounting and finance personnel;
 
  
increasing our efforts to educate both our existing and expanded accounting policy and control organization on the application of the internal control structure,
 
We believe that the foregoing actions have improved and will continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. We intend to perform such procedures and commit such resources as necessary to continue to allow us to overcome or mitigate these material weaknesses such that we can make timely and accurate quarterly and annual financial filings until such time as those material weaknesses are fully addressed and remediated.
