Item 1. Business

General

We are an international renewable fuels and specialty chemical company focused on the production of advanced fuels and chemicals and the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based products and convert first-generation ethanol and biodiesel plants into advanced biorefineries.

Aemetis operates in two reportable geographic segments: “North America” and “India.” For revenue and other information regarding Aemetis’ operating segments, see Note 13. Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Aemetis was incorporated in Nevada in 2006.

Strategy

We believe that Aemetis is well positioned to be a leader in the production of lower-carbon advanced fuels and specialty chemicals from renewable sources to meet increasing market demand for such products, and to reduce overall dependence on petroleum-based fuels and chemicals in an environmentally responsible manner.

North America

The Company owns and operates a 55 million gallon per year ethanol production facility located in Keyes, California. The facility produces its own combined heat and power (CHP) through the use of a natural gas-powered steam turbine, and reuses 100% of its process water with no water discharge. In addition to ethanol, the Keyes plant produces wet distillers grains (WDG), corn oil, and condensed distillers solubles (CDS), all of which are sold to local dairies and feedlots for animal consumption. Key elements of our strategy include:

●

Leverage Approved Feedstock Pathways. When economically advantageous, utilizing grain sorghum as lower carbon advanced biofuel feedstock for the production of ethanol. This also includes using our approved feedstock Pathway (in combination with biogas and CHP) for the production of Advanced Biofuels and associated higher value D5 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and the subsequent qualification of the Keyes facility as an Advanced Biofuel producer.

●

Leverage the Keyes plant infrastructure and location. Through its strategic location near the Port of Stockton and adjacent access to the Union Pacific railroad, Aemetis Keyes can, and has, procured grain sorghum from both international and domestic sources. Additionally, the Keyes facility has ready access to biogas through its existing infrastructure for the production of Advanced Biofuels under the approved EPA Pathway. Aemetis has also entered into a multi-year contract with Chromatin, Inc., an advanced grain sorghum seed and technology provider, to establish a multi-thousand acre local grain sorghum growing program with farmers in California’s Central Valley.

●

Leverage technology for the development and production of additional Advanced Biofuels and renewable specialty chemicals. In July 2011, we acquired Zymetis, Inc., a biochemical research and development firm, with several patents pending and in-process R&D utilizing the Z-microbe™ to produce renewable chemicals and advanced fuels from renewable feedstocks. Our objective is to continue to commercialize this technology and expand the production of advanced biofuel technologies and other bio-chemicals in the United States.

●

Diversify revenue streams by continuing to develop value-add byproduct processing systems and processes. During April 2012, we installed corn oil extraction processes at the Keyes plant and began extracting corn oil for sale into the livestock feed market beginning in May 2012. We continue to evaluate and, as allowed by available financing and incremental profitability, adopt additional value-add processes that allow for a continued increase in the value-chain for corn oil as well as other byproducts.

●

Evaluate and pursue technology acquisition opportunities. We intend to evaluate and pursue opportunities to acquire technologies and processes that result in accretive value opportunities as financial resources and business prospects make the acquisition of these technologies advisable. In addition, we may also seek to acquire companies or form licensing agreements or joint ventures with companies that offer prospects for the adoption of accretive technologies.

India

The Company owns and operates a biodiesel production facility in Kakinada, India with a nameplate capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year. This facility is one of the largest biodiesel production facilities in India on a nameplate capacity basis. Our objective is to continue to capitalize on the substantial growth potential of the industry. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

●	Capitalize on actions by the Government of India to reduce the subsidies on diesel. We plan to develop marketing channels for the traditional bulk and transportation biodiesel markets, which are more economically viable as a result of the reduction of subsidies on petroleum diesel.

●

Expand alternative market demand for biodiesel and its byproducts. We plan to create additional demand for our biodiesel and its byproducts by looking for alternative markets. In 2011, we began selling biodiesel to textile manufacturers. In the first quarter of 2012, we completed glycerin refining and oil pre-treatment units and began selling refined glycerin to manufacturers of paints and adhesives. In 2012, our India subsidiary received an Indian Pharmacopeia license, which enables it to sell refined glycerin to the pharmaceutical industry in India.

●

Continue to develop international markets. We expect to increase sales by selling our biodiesel into the international market during the summer months, when biodiesel use in Europe increases with the onset of warmer weather. In 2012, we had no international sales, and, in 2013, we had sales of $11.6 million into the European market.

●

Diversify our feedstocks and products. We designed our Kakinada plant with the capability to produce biodiesel from multiple feedstocks. In 2009, we began to produce biodiesel from NRPO (natural refined palm oil). In 2012, we completed an oil pre-treatment unit, which enables us to convert crude palm oil into refined palm oil, which can either be sold or used to produce biodiesel. In 2014 we completed the construction of a biodiesel distillation column, which will allow us to produce a high-quality biodiesel product meeting European Union standards.

2013 Highlights

North America

We own and operate an ethanol plant in Keyes, CA (Keyes Plant) which was acquired through a merger with its previous owner Cilion, Inc. in 2012. The Keyes plant is a dry mill ethanol production facility able to utilize either corn or grain sorghum as feedstock. In addition, the plant produces high quality WDG, corn oil, and CDS as co-products of the ethanol production process, which are sold as a high protein, livestock feed supplements to local dairies and feedlots.

The plant is located adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad and Highway 99, two major transportation arteries in California’s Central Valley region, providing convenient transportation to and from the plant for inbound feedstock and outbound fuel and feed co-products.

During the third quarter of 2013, we were granted approval by the EPA to produce ethanol using grain sorghum and biogas with the plant’s existing Combined Heat & Power (CHP) system to generate higher value Advanced Biofuels Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), which generally sells at a premium compared to corn based fuels. Concurrently, the EPA approved Advanced Biofuels RINs for separated food waste feedstock through the processing of certain food/beverage waste streams.

During 2013, we produced four products at the Keyes plant: denatured ethanol, WDG, corn oil, and CDS. In 2013 we sold 100% of the ethanol and WDG we produced to J.D. Heiskell pursuant to a Purchase Agreement established with J.D. Heiskell. J.D. Heiskell in turn sells 100% of our ethanol to Kinergy and 100% of the WDG to A.L. Gilbert, a local feed business. Corn oil is sold to local animal feedlots (primarily poultry) as well as feed mills for use in various products. Small amounts of CDS were sold to various local third parties as an animal feed supplement. Ethanol pricing for sales to J.D. Heiskell is determined pursuant to a marketing agreement between the Company and Kinergy Marketing LLC, and is generally based on daily and monthly pricing for ethanol delivered to the San Francisco Bay Area as published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), as well as quarterly contracts negotiated by Kinergy with numerous fuel blenders. The price for WDG is determined monthly pursuant to a marketing agreement between the Company and A.L. Gilbert Co., and is generally determined in reference to the price of dry distillers grains (DDG) and corn.

Aemetis intends to capitalize on the approval by the EPA establishing grain sorghum as an approved renewable advanced biofuel feedstock Pathway (in combination with biogas) for the production of Advanced Biofuels and associated Advanced Biofuels RINs. Through our strategic location near the Port of Stockton and adjacent access to the Union Pacific railroad, Aemetis Keyes can, and has, procured grain sorghum from both international and domestic sources. Additionally, the Keyes facility has ready access to biogas for the production of Advanced Biofuels under the approved EPA Pathway. Aemetis has also entered into a multi-year contract with Chromatin, Inc., an advanced grain sorghum seed and technology provider, to establish a multi-thousand acre local grain sorghum growing program with farmers in California’s Central Valley. During 2013, we utilized 1.5 million bushels of grain sorghum as a feedstock with no noticeable change in our financial or economic results.

The following table sets forth information about our production and sales of ethanol and WDG in 2013.

	2013		2012		% Change
Ethanol
Gallons Sold (in 000s)		42,390		53,038		(20	)%
Average Sales Price/Gallon	$	2.62	$	2.50		5	%
WDG
Tons Sold (in 000s)		301		380		(2	)%
Average Sales Price/Ton	$	100.47	$	103.23		(3	)%

On January 15, 2013 our ethanol production facility was idled due to unfavorable market conditions and to conduct maintenance on the plant for the first time since commencing ethanol production in April 2011. In April 2013, we restarted our ethanol production facility and ran the plant on a continual basis through the rest of the year.

During 2013 we continued to invest research and development dollars furthering the development of advanced biofuels using the resources and technology of the Z-microbe™ to produce renewable chemicals and advanced fuels from renewable feedstocks. Our objective is to continue to look for ways to commercialize this technology and other new technologies to expand the production of renewable advanced biofuels and other bio-chemicals in the United States.

India

The market for biodiesel improved during 2013 because of changes to the tariff structure in the European Union. The Company’s production of biodiesel in 2013 increased compared to 2012 due to the development of a sales channel for biodiesel into European markets. In 2013, our primary feedstock for the production of biodiesel continued to be NRPO, a byproduct of palm oil refining and a non-edible feedstock, which we sourced principally from suppliers in India.

In 2013, we produced four products at the India plant: biodiesel, crude glycerin, refined glycerin, and NRPO / Stearin. Crude glycerin held in inventory or produced as a by-product of the biodiesel production was further processed into refined glycerin and crude palm oil was further processed into refined palm oil for sale to customers. During 2013, we were able to further develop the sales channels and increase sales of refined glycerin. During portions of 2012 and 2013, we were able to utilize our refining unit to refine crude palm oil into NRPO and subsequently sell the NRPO at a more attractive margin than converting NRPO into biodiesel. Additionally, crude glycerin was purchased on the open market and further processed to fill the demand for refined glycerin.

The following table sets forth information about our production and sales of biodiesel, crude and refined glycerin and NRPO in 2013 and 2012.

	2013		2012		% Change
Biodiesel
Tons sold (1)		19,354		4,127		369	%

(1)	1 metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms (approximately 2,204 pounds).

The plant was originally designed to include four production units: biodiesel, refined glycerin, oil refining and fractionation. To date, the biodiesel, refined glycerin and oil refining units have been completed. In order to complete the fractionation unit, the Company will need to purchase and install additional equipment at an additional cost of approximately $2 million.

During January 2013 the Indian government reduced subsidies for diesel by increasing the sales price of diesel to bulk purchasers (railways and state transportation corporations) to the market price and by increasing the sales price of diesel approximately 21% to other purchasers at the rate of 0.45 rupee (or approximately $0.007) per liter per month until the price reaches the market price. The price transition is expected to take 18 months. Our biodiesel pricing is indexed to the price of petroleum diesel, and as such, the increase in the price of petroleum diesel is expected to favorably impact the profitability of our Indian operations. Additionally, in February 2013, we resumed international shipments into the European markets. During 2013, the Company began construction of a biodiesel distillation column allowing for the biodiesel produced at the Kakinada plant to be more readily adopted by customers in the European Union due to its higher purity levels, and began certification requirements necessary to meet the European Union International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (“ISCC”) standard. The biodiesel distillation column and the ISCC certification were completed in January 2014, allowing for further access to European markets for our biodiesel products.

Competition

North America

In 2013, there were approximately 200 operating commercial corn ethanol production facilities in the U.S. with a combined production of nearly 13.3 billion gallons and operating capacity of 13.9 billion gallons, according to the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA). The production of ethanol is a commodity-based business, and producers compete on the basis of price. We sell ethanol into the Northern California market; however, since insufficient production capacity exists in California to supply the state’s total fuel demand (in excess of one billion gallons according to a report of the California Energy Commission dated May, 2013), we compete with ethanol transported into California. Similarly, our co-products, principally WDG and corn oil, are sold into California markets and compete with distillers grains and corn oil transported into the California markets as well as alternative feed products including corn.

India

With respect to biodiesel sold as fuel, we compete primarily with the producers of petroleum diesel, which are the three state-controlled oil companies: Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, and two private oil companies: Reliance Petroleum and Essar Oil, all of whom have significantly larger market shares than we do and control a significant share of the distribution network. We compete primarily on the basis of price. The price of biodiesel is indexed to the price of petroleum diesel, which, during 2012, was set by the Indian government. In addition, the Indian government subsidizes state-controlled oil companies creating a disparity between the cost of oil on the open market and the price we can obtain from sales of biodiesel. In September 2012, the Indian government provided partial relief by raising the price of diesel by five rupee per liter. In January 2013, the India government again raised the price of bulk diesel by 21% or 9.3 rupee and provided for the phase-in of this pricing to the consumer at the rate of 45 paisa per liter per month, until a market price is reached. We believe the increase in the price of diesel by the Indian government will have a positive effect on our margins and will increase the business, operating results and financial condition of our India segment during 2014. With respect to international markets, principally the European markets, we compete with biodiesel from Europe, Argentina, Indonesia and Malaysia, some of which subsidize their biodiesel industry using government payment and taxation programs to promote the sales of their products into these markets.

With respect to biodiesel sold for manufacturing purposes, we compete with specialty chemical manufacturers selling products into the textile industries primarily on the basis of price; and with respect to crude and refined glycerin, we compete with other glycerin producers and refiners selling products into the personal care, paints and adhesive markets primarily on the basis of price and product quality.

Customers

North America

All of our ethanol and WDG are sold to J.D. Heiskell pursuant to a purchase agreement. J.D. Heiskell in turn sells all of our ethanol to Kinergy and all of our WDG to A.L. Gilbert. Kinergy markets and sells our ethanol to petroleum refiners and blenders in Northern California. A.L. Gilbert markets and sells our WDG to approximately 200 dairy and feeding operators in Northern California.

India

During 2013, three customers in paints and personal care products industries within India accounted for 79% of our refined glycerin sales, two customers in edible oils and products industry within India accounted for 97% of our refined palm oil sales, one customer from European continent accounted for 69% of biodiesel sales. During 2012 two customers accounted for 45.8% of our India refined palm oil sales and one customer accounted for 10.7% of our India biodiesel sales.

Pricing

North America

We sell 100% of the ethanol and WDG we produce to J.D. Heiskell. Ethanol pricing is determined pursuant to a marketing agreement between the Company and Kinergy Marketing LLC, and is generally based on daily and monthly pricing for ethanol delivered to the San Francisco Bay area in California, as published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), as well as the terms of quarterly contracts negotiated by Kinergy with local fuel blenders and available premiums for fuel with low Carbon Intensity (CI) as provided by California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The price for WDG is determined monthly pursuant to a marketing agreement between the Company and A.L. Gilbert Co., and is generally determined in reference to the price of dry distillers grains (DDG) and corn.

India

In India, the price of biodiesel is based on the price of petroleum diesel, which is established by the India government. Biodiesel sold into Europe is based on the spot market price. We sell our biodiesel primarily to resellers, distributors and refiners on an as-needed basis. We have no long-term sales contracts. During January 2013 the Indian government reduced subsidies for diesel by increasing the sales price of diesel to bulk purchasers (railways and state transportation corporations) to the market price and by increasing the sales price of diesel approximately 21 percent to other purchasers at the rate of 45 paisa per liter per month until the price reached the market price. Our biodiesel pricing is indexed to the price of petroleum diesel, and the increase in the price of petroleum diesel is expected to favorably impact the profitability of our India operations.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

North America

We entered into a Corn Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell in March 2011 which we amended in May 2013 (the “Heiskell Agreement”). Under the Heiskell Agreement, we agreed to procure whole yellow corn from J.D. Heiskell. We have the ability to obtain corn from other sources subject to certain conditions, however, in 2013, all of our corn requirements were purchased from Heiskell. Title to the corn and risk of loss pass to us when the corn is ground for production at our Keyes facility. We also purchased grain sorghum from J.D. Heiskell during 2013. The initial term of the Heiskell Agreement expired on December 31, 2013 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms, currently to December 31, 2014.

India

Surrounding our plant in Kakinada, India, a number of edible oil processing facilities produce NRPO as a byproduct. In 2013, all of our biodiesel was produced from NRPO, which we obtained from sources surrounding the plant. The receiving capabilities of the plant allow for import of feedstock using the local port at Kakinada. During 2013 we imported crude palm oil for further processing into refined palm oil and imported crude glycerin for further processing into refined glycerin. In addition to feedstock, our plant requires quantities of methanol and chemical catalysts for use in the biodiesel production process. These chemicals are also readily available and sourced from a number of suppliers surrounding the plant. We are not dependent on sole source or limited source suppliers for any of our raw materials or chemicals.

Sales and Marketing

North America

As part of our obligations under the Corn Procurement Agreement, we entered into a purchase agreement with Heiskell, pursuant to which we granted Heiskell exclusive rights to purchase 100% of the ethanol and WDG we produce at prices based upon the price established by the marketing agreements with Kinergy and A.L. Gilbert. In turn, Heiskell agreed to resell all the ethanol to Kinergy (or any other purchaser we designate) and all of the WDG to A.L. Gilbert.

In March 2011, we entered into a WDG Purchase and Sale Agreement with A.L. Gilbert Company, pursuant to which A.L. Gilbert agreed to market on an exclusive basis all of the WDG we produce. The initial term of the Agreement expired on December 31, 2011 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms, currently to December 31, 2014.

In October 2010, we entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with Kinergy Marketing LLC to market and sell our ethanol. The initial term of the Agreement expired on August 31, 2013 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms, currently through August 31, 2014.

India

We sell our biodiesel and crude glycerin (i) to end-users utilizing our own sales force and independent sales agents and (ii) to brokers who resell the product to end-users. We pay a sales commission on sales arranged by independent sales agents.

Commodity Risk Management Practices

North America

The cost of corn and the price of ethanol are volatile and are reasonably well correlated. We are, therefore, exposed to commodity price risk. Our risk management strategy is to purchase corn and sell ethanol on a daily basis at the then prevailing market price. We monitor these prices weekly to test for an overall positive variable contribution margin. We periodically explore methods of mitigating the volatility of our commodity prices however we have yet to engage in any hedging or forward purchase activity. In second half of 2013, we purchased grain sorghum as a substitute for corn with generally positive economic results. We intend to opportunistically purchase grain sorghum and use it to produce lower carbon advanced biofuel, when market conditions present favorable conditions. Similarly, with the EPA certification received in August 2013, we intend to opportunistically purchase the combination of grain sorghum and biogas to generate Advanced Biofuel RIN credits, when market conditions present favorable margins.

India

The cost of NRPO and the price of biodiesel are volatile and are generally uncorrelated. We therefore are exposed to ongoing and substantial commodity price risk. Our risk management strategy is to produce biodiesel in India only when we believe we can generate positive gross margins and to idle the plant during periods of low or negative gross margins. In 2013, we continued to develop markets and expand our customers’ base outside of the fuels market.

In addition, to minimize our commodity risk, we modified the processes within our facility to utilize lower cost NRPO, which enables us to reduce our feedstock costs. Our ability to mitigate the risk of falling biodiesel prices is more limited. The price of our biodiesel is generally indexed to the price of petroleum diesel, which is set by the Indian government. During January 2013 the Indian government reduced subsidies for diesel by increasing the sales price of diesel to bulk purchasers (railways and state transportation corporations) to the market price and by increasing the sales price of diesel to other purchasers at the rate of 45 paisa per liter per month, until the price reached the market price.

We have in the past, and may in the future, use forward purchase contracts and other hedging strategies however the extent to which we engage in these risk management strategies may vary substantially from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors.

Research and Development

In July 2011, we acquired Zymetis, Inc., a biochemical research and development firm, with several patents pending and in-process R&D utilizing the Z-microbe™ to produce renewable chemicals and advanced fuels from renewable feedstocks. Our R&D efforts consist of working to commercialize our existing microbial technology, to evaluate third party technologies, and to expand the production of ethanol and other renewable bio-chemicals in the United States. The primary objective of this development activity is to optimize the production of ethanol using either our proprietary, patent-pending enzyme technology for large-scale commercial production or the evaluation of third party technologies which have promise for large-scale commercial adoption at one of our operating facilities. Our innovations are protected by several issued or pending patents. We are in the process of filing additional patents that will further strengthen the Company’s portfolio. Some core intellectual property has been exclusively and indefinitely licensed from the University of Maryland. R&D expense was $538,922 in 2013 and $620,368 in 2012.

Patents and Trademarks

We have filed a number of trademark applications within the U.S. We do not consider the success of our business, as a whole, to be dependent on these trademarks. In addition, we hold eight patents and have applied for six additional patents in the United States. We also hold related patents and have applied for patents in major foreign jurisdictions. Our patents cover the Z-microbe and production of cellulosic ethanol. We intend to develop, maintain and secure further intellectual property rights and pursue new patents to expand upon our current patent base.

We have acquired exclusive rights to patented technology in support of the development and commercialization of our products, and we also rely on trade secrets and proprietary technology in developing potential products. We continue to place significant emphasis on securing global intellectual property rights and we are pursuing new patents to expand upon our strong foundation for commercializing products in development.

The company has received, and in the future may receive additional, claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings, below. Infringement or other claims could be asserted or prosecuted against the Company in the future, and it is possible that future assertions or prosecutions could harm our business. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, cause delays in the development of our products, or require the Company to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Such royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may require the Company to license back its technology or may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Environmental and Regulatory Matters

North America

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permit conditions, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and the health and safety of our employees. These laws, regulations, and permits require us to incur, on an annual basis, significant capital costs. These include, but are not limited to, testing and monitoring plant emissions, and where necessary, obtaining and maintaining mitigation processes to comply with regulations. They may also require us to make operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A significant violation of these laws, regulations, permits or license conditions could result in substantial fines, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or facility shutdowns. In addition, environmental laws and regulations change over time, and any such changes, more vigorous enforcement policies or the discovery of currently unknown conditions may require substantial additional environmental expenditures.

We are also subject to potential liability for the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at each of the properties that we own or operate and at off-site locations where we arrange for the disposal of hazardous wastes. If significant contamination is identified at our properties in the future, costs to investigate and remediate this contamination as well as costs to investigate or remediate associated damage could be significant. If any of these sites are subject to investigation and/or remediation requirements, we may be responsible under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other environmental laws for all or part of the costs of such investigation and/or remediation, and for damage to natural resources. We may also be subject to related claims by private parties alleging property damage or personal injury due to exposure to hazardous or other materials at or from such properties. While costs to address contamination or related third-party claims could be significant, based upon currently available information, we are not aware of any material contamination or any such third party claims. Based on our current assessment of the environmental and regulatory risks, we have not accrued any amounts for environmental matters as of December 31, 2013. The ultimate costs of any liabilities that may be identified or the discovery of additional contaminants could materially adversely impact our results of operation or financial condition.

In addition, the production and transportation of our products may result in spills or releases of hazardous substances, which could result in claims from governmental authorities or third parties relating to actual or alleged personal injury, property damage, or damage to natural resources. We maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, potential losses caused by our operations. Our general and umbrella liability policy coverage includes, but is not limited to, physical damage to assets, employer’s liability, comprehensive general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation. We do not carry environmental insurance. We believe that our insurance is adequate for our industry, but losses could occur for uninsurable or uninsured risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of events which result in significant personal injury or damage to our property, natural resources or third parties that is not covered by insurance could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our air emissions are subject to the federal Clean Air Act, and similar State laws, which generally require us to obtain and maintain air emission permits for our ongoing operations as well as for any expansion of existing facilities or any new facilities. Obtaining and maintaining those permits requires us to incur costs, and any future more stringent standards may result in increased costs and may limit or interfere with our operating flexibility. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Because other ethanol manufacturers in the U.S. are and will continue to be subject to similar laws and restrictions, we do not currently believe that our costs to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations will adversely affect our competitive position with other U.S. ethanol producers. However, because ethanol is produced and traded internationally, these costs could adversely affect us in our efforts to compete with foreign producers who are not subject to such stringent requirements.

New laws or regulations relating to the production, disposal or emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases may require us to incur significant additional costs with respect to ethanol plants that we build or acquire. For example, in 2007, Illinois and four other Midwestern states entered into the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord, which directs participating states to develop a multi-sector cap-and-trade mechanism to help achieve reductions in greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide. We currently conduct our North America commercial activities exclusively in California, however, it is possible that other states in which we plan to conduct business could join this accord or require other carbon dioxide emissions reductions. Climate change legislation is being considered in Washington, D.C. this year which may significantly impact the biofuels industry’s emissions regulations, as will the Renewable Fuel Standard, California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and other potentially significant changes in existing transportation fuels regulations.

India

We are subject to national, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permits, including with respect to the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and the health and safety of our employees. These laws may require us to make operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws, regulations or permits can result in substantial fines, natural resource damages, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or facility shutdowns. In addition, environmental laws and regulations (and interpretations thereof) change over time, and any such changes, more vigorous enforcement policies or the discovery of currently unknown conditions may require substantial additional environmental expenditures.

Employees

At December 31, 2013, we had a total of 126 full-time equivalent employees, comprised of 17 full-time equivalent employees in our corporate offices, 45 full-time equivalent employees at our plant in Keyes, California, two full-time equivalent employees in our Maryland research and development facility and 62 full-time equivalent employees in India.

We believe that our employees are highly-skilled, and our success will depend in part upon our ability to retain our employees and attract new qualified employees, many of whom are in great demand. We have never had a work stoppage or strike, and no employees are presently represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in an evolving industry that presents numerous risks beyond our control that are driven by factors that cannot be predicted. Should any of the risks described in this section or in the documents incorporated by reference in this report actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition, or stock price could be materially and adversely affected. Investors should carefully consider the risks factors discussed below, in addition to the other information in this report, before making any investment in our securities.

Risks Related to our Overall Business

We have incurred significant losses, and may never achieve profitability. If we continue to incur losses, we may have to curtail our operations, which may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business.

We have a history of significant losses. Historically, we have relied upon cash from debt and equity financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. As of December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $94,245,503. For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred a net loss of $ 24,437,209 and $4,282,265, respectively. We cannot predict when we will become profitable or if we ever will become profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate period of time and may never achieve or sustain profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. Even if we are able to achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

We are dependent upon our working capital agreements with J.D. Heiskell and Secunderabad Oils Limited.

Our ability to operate our Keyes plant depends on maintaining our working capital agreement with J.D. Heiskell, and our ability to operate our biodiesel plant in India depends on maintaining our working capital agreement with Secunderabad Oils Limited. The Heiskell agreement provides for an initial term of one year with automatic one-year renewals; provided, however, that Heiskell may terminate the agreement by notice 90 days prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term. The current term extends through December 31, 2014. In addition, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon a default, such as payment default, bankruptcy, acts of fraud or material breach under one of the related agreements. The Secunderabad agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon written notice. If we are unable to maintain these strategic relationships, we will be required to locate alternative sources of working capital and corn supply, which we may be unable to do in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to maintain our current working capital arrangements or locate alternative sources of working capital, our ability to operate our plants will be negatively affected.

Our results from operations are primarily dependent on the spread between the feedstock and energy we purchase and the fuel and other products we sell.

The results of our ethanol production business in the U.S. are significantly affected by the spread between the cost of the corn and natural gas that we purchase and the price of the ethanol and distiller grains that we sell. Similarly, in India our biodiesel business is primarily dependent on the price difference between the costs of the feedstock we purchase (principally NRPO and crude glycerin) and the products we sell (principally biodiesel and glycerin). The markets for ethanol, biodiesel, distiller grains, and glycerin are highly volatile and subject to significant fluctuations. Any decrease in the spread between prices of the commodities we buy and sell, whether as a result of an increase in feedstock prices or a reduction in ethanol or biodiesel prices, would adversely affect our financial performance and cash flow and may cause us to suspend production at either of our plants.

The price of ethanol is volatile and subject to large fluctuations, and increased ethanol production may cause a decline in ethanol prices or prevent ethanol prices from rising, either of which could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The market price of ethanol is volatile and subject to large fluctuations. The market price of ethanol is dependent upon many factors, including the supply of ethanol and the price of gasoline, which is in turn dependent upon the price of petroleum which is also highly volatile and difficult to forecast. Fluctuations in the market price of ethanol may cause our profitability or losses to fluctuate significantly. In addition, domestic ethanol production capacity increased significantly in the last decade. Demand for ethanol may not increase commensurate with increases in supply, which would lead to lower ethanol prices. Demand for ethanol could be impaired due to a number of factors, including regulatory developments and reduced United States gasoline consumption. Reduced gasoline consumption has occurred in the past and could occur in the future as a result of increased gasoline or oil prices.

We may be unable to execute our Company’s business plan.

The value of our long-lived assets is based on our ability to execute our business plan and generate sufficient cash flow to justify the carrying value of our assets. Should we fall short of our cash flow projections, we may be required to write down the value of these assets under accounting rules and further reduce the value of our assets. We can make no assurances that future cash flows will develop and provide us with sufficient cash to maintain the value of these assets, thus avoiding future impairment to our asset carrying values. As a result, we may need to write down the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets.

In addition, we plan to implement our own or a third party’s technology at the Keyes ethanol plant and at the India biodiesel plant for the production of advanced fuels and specialty chemicals. After we design and engineer a specific integrated upgrade to either or both plants to allow us to produce products other than their existing products, we may not receive permission from the regulatory agencies to install the process at one or both plants. Additionally, even if we are able to install and begin operations of an integrated advanced fuels and/or specialty chemical plant, we cannot assure you that the technology will work and produce cost effective products because we have never designed, engineered nor built this technology into an existing bio-refinery. Any inability to execute our Company’s business plan may have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position, and ability to continue as a going concern.

We are dependent on, and vulnerable to any difficulties of, our principal suppliers and customers.

We buy all of the feedstock for the Keyes plant from one supplier, J.D. Heiskell. Under our Agreements with Heiskell, we are only permitted to purchase feedstock from other suppliers upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, we have contracted to sell all of the WDG, CDS, corn oil and ethanol we produce at the Keyes Plant to Heiskell. Heiskell, in turn, sells all ethanol produced at the Keyes plant to Kinergy Marketing and all WDG and syrup to A.L. Gilbert. If Heiskell were to fail to deliver adequate feedstock to our plant or fail to purchase all the product we produce, if Kinergy were to fail to purchase all of the ethanol we produce, if A.L. Gilbert were to fail to purchase all of the WDG and syrup we produce, or if any of them were otherwise to default on our agreements with them or fail to perform as expected, we may be unable to find replacement suppliers or purchasers, or both, in a reasonable time or on favorable terms, any of which could materially adversely affect our results from operations and financial results.

We are currently in default on our term loan with the State Bank of India.

Our business is dependent on external financing and cash from operations to service debt and provide future growth.

The adoptions of new technologies at our ethanol and biodiesel plants, along with working capital, are financed in part through debt facilities. We may need to seek additional financing to continue or grow our operations. However, generally unfavorable credit market conditions may make it difficult to obtain necessary capital or additional debt financing on commercially viable terms or at all. If we are unable to pay our debt we may be forced to delay or cancel capital expenditures, sell assets, restructure our indebtedness, seek additional financing, or file for bankruptcy protection. Debt levels or debt service requirements may limit our ability to borrow additional capital, make us vulnerable to increases in prevailing interest rates, subject our assets to liens, limit our ability to adjust to changing market conditions, or place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors. Should we be unable to generate enough cash from our operations or secure additional financing to fund our operations and debt service requirements, we may be required to postpone or cancel growth projects, reduce our operations, or may be unable to meet our debt repayment schedules. Any one of these events would likely have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

There can be no assurance that our existing cash flow from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations and to the extent that we are dependent on credit facilities to fund operations or service debt there can be no assurances that we will be successful at securing funding from our senior lender 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. Our ability to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with feedstock suppliers in India depends on maintaining our operations agreement with Secunderabad Oil Limited, who is currently providing us with working capital for our Kakinada facility. If we are unable to maintain this strategic relationship, our business may be negatively affected. In addition, the ability of Secunderabad to continue to provide us with working capital depends in part on the financial strength of Secunderabad and its banking relationships. If Secunderabad is unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with working capital, our business may be negatively affected. Our ability to enter into commercial arrangements with feedstock suppliers in California depends on maintaining our operations agreement with J.D. Heiskell, who is currently providing us with working capital for our California ethanol plant. If we are unable to maintain this strategic relationship, our business may be negatively affected. In addition, the ability of J.D. Heiskell to continue to provide us with working capital depends in part on the financial strength of J.D. Heiskell and its banking relationships. If J.D. Heiskell is unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with working capital, our business may be negatively affected. There is no assurance that UBPL or the Company will be able to obtain alternative funding in the event the State Bank of India demands payment and immediate acceleration would have a significant adverse impact on UBPL or the Company’s near term liquidity and our ability to operate our biodiesel plant. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the classification or carrying values of our assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.

We may be unable to repay or refinance our Third Eye Capital Notes upon maturity.

Under our note facilities with Third Eye Capital Corporation, we owe approximately $72.3 million. Our indebtedness and interests payments under these note facilities are substantial and may adversely affect our cash flow, cash position and stock price. These notes are currently due in July 2014, although we have the option to extend the maturity until January 2015. We have been able to extend our indebtedness in the past, but we may not be able to continue to extend the maturity of these notes. We may not have sufficient cash available at the time of maturity to repay this indebtedness. We have default covenants that may accelerate the maturities of these notes. We may not have sufficient assets or cash flow available to support refinancing these notes at market rates or on terms that are satisfactory to us. If we are unable to extend the maturity of the notes or refinance on terms satisfactory to us, we may be forced to refinance on terms that are materially less favorable, seek funds through other means such as a sale of some of our assets, or otherwise significantly alter our operating plan, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See Item 7: M&A– Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which have materially adversely affected our ability to timely and accurately report our results of operations and financial condition. These material weaknesses have not been fully remediated as of the filing date of this report.

We have concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and that, as a result, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective during the period. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We are in the process of implementing efforts to remediate the identified material weaknesses. Our efforts have been and will continue to be time consuming and expensive. We cannot give any assurance as to when we will complete our efforts to fully remediate these material weaknesses.

Any failure to effectively implement our remediation plan, or any difficulties we encounter during implementation, could result in additional material weaknesses or in material misstatements in our financial statements. These misstatements could result in a restatement of our financial statements, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, or could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price.

We face competition for our specialty chemical and transportation fuels products from providers of petroleum-based products and from other companies seeking to provide alternatives to these products, many of whom have greater resources and experience than we do, and if we cannot compete effectively against these companies we may not be successful.

Our renewable products compete with both the traditional, largely petroleum-based specialty chemical and fuels products that are currently being used in our target markets and with the alternatives to these existing products that established enterprises and new companies are seeking to produce. The oil companies, large chemical companies and well-established agricultural products companies with whom we compete are much larger than we are, and have, in many cases, well developed distribution systems and networks for their products.

In the transportation fuels market, we compete with independent and integrated oil refiners, advanced biofuels companies and biodiesel companies. Refiners compete with us by selling traditional fuel products and some are also pursuing hydrocarbon fuel production using non-renewable feedstocks, such as natural gas and coal, as well as processes using renewable feedstocks, such as vegetable oil and biomass. We also expect to compete with companies that are developing the capacity to produce diesel and other transportation fuels from renewable resources in other ways.

With the emergence of many new companies seeking to produce chemicals and fuels from alternative sources, we may face increasing competition from alternative fuels and chemicals companies. As they emerge, some of these companies may be able to establish production capacity and commercial partnerships to compete with us. If we are unable to establish production and sales channels that allow us to offer comparable products at attractive prices, we may not be able to compete effectively with these companies.

The high concentration of our sales within the ethanol production industry could result in a significant reduction in sales and negatively affect our profitability if demand for ethanol declines.

We expect our US operations are to be substantially focused on the production of ethanol and its co-products for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to shift our business focus away from the production of ethanol to other renewable fuels or competing products. Accordingly, an industry shift away from ethanol or the emergence of new competing products may reduce the demand for ethanol. A downturn in the demand for ethanol could materially and adversely affect our sales and profitability.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws, regulations, and liabilities.

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, access to and impacts on water supply, and the health and safety of our employees. In addition, our operations and sales in India subject us to risks associated with foreign laws, policies, and regulations. Some of these laws and regulations require our facilities to operate under permits or licenses that are subject to renewal or modification. These laws, regulations and permits can require expensive emissions testing and pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws and regulations or permits or license conditions can result in substantial fines, natural resource damages, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and facility shutdowns. We may not be at all times in compliance with these laws, regulations, permits or licenses or we may not have all permits or licenses required to operate our business. We may be subject to legal actions brought by environmental advocacy groups and other parties for actual or alleged violations of environmental laws, permits or licenses. In addition, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures on an ongoing basis to comply with increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations, permit and license requirements.

We may be liable for the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at the Keyes plant and at off-site locations where we arrange for the disposal of hazardous substances. If hazardous substances have been or are disposed of or released at sites that undergo investigation or remediation by regulatory agencies, we may be responsible under CERCLA or other environmental laws for all or part of the costs of investigation and remediation, and for damage to natural resources. We also may be subject to related claims by private parties alleging property damage and personal injury due to exposure to hazardous or other materials at or from those properties. Some of these matters may require us to expend significant amounts for investigation, cleanup or other costs.

New laws, new interpretations of existing laws, increased governmental enforcement of environmental laws or other developments could require us to make additional significant expenditures. Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental controls at our production facilities. Environmental laws and regulations applicable to our operations now or in the future, more vigorous enforcement policies and discovery of currently unknown conditions may require substantial expenditures that could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from manufacturing ethanol are not currently subject to permit requirements. If new laws or regulations are passed relating to the production, disposal or emissions of carbon dioxide, we may be required to incur significant costs to comply with such new laws or regulations.

Our business is affected by greenhouse gas and climate change regulation.

The operations at our Keyes plant will result in the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In March 2010, the EPA released its final regulations on the Renewable Fuels Standard Program, or RFS2. We believe the EPA’s final RFS2 regulations grandfather the Keyes facility we operate at its current capacity, however, compliance with future legislation may require us to take action unknown to us at this time that could be costly, and require the use of working capital, which may or may not be available, preventing us from operating as planned, which may have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flow.

A change in government policies may cause a decline in the demand for our products.

The domestic ethanol industry is highly dependent upon a myriad of federal and state regulations and legislation, and any changes in legislation or regulation could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. Other federal and state programs benefiting ethanol generally are subject to U.S. government obligations under international trade agreements, including those under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and may be the subject of challenges, in whole or in part. Growth and demand for ethanol and biodiesel is largely driven by federal and state government mandates or blending requirements, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Any change in government policies could have a material adverse effect our business and the results of our operations.

Ethanol can be imported into the United States duty-free from some countries, which may undermine the domestic ethanol industry. Production costs for ethanol in these countries can be significantly less than in the United States and the import of lower price or lower carbon value ethanol from these countries may reduce the demand for domestic ethanol and depress the price at which we sell our ethanol.

Waivers of the RFS minimum levels of renewable fuels included in gasoline could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Under the Energy Policy Act, the U.S. Department of Energy, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Energy, may waive the renewable fuels mandate with respect to one or more states if the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency determines that implementing the requirements would severely harm the economy or the environment of a state, a region or the nation, or that there is inadequate supply to meet the requirement. Any waiver of the RFS with respect to one or more states would reduce demand for ethanol and could cause our results of operations to decline and our financial condition to suffer.

In November 2013, the EPA proposed a waiver to the RFS by to reducing the RFS for 2014 from the previous requirement of 18.15 billion gallons to a revised level of 15.21 billion gallons. The EPA proposal represents a reduction of approximately 16% from the original RFS fuel volume for 2014. The EPA conducted a 60 day comment period following the proposed waiver announcement, and subsequently announced that a final determination on the revised 2014 RFS requirements will be announced in, “late spring or early summer,” of 2014.

We may encounter unanticipated difficulties in converting the Keyes plant to accommodate alternative feedstocks, new chemicals used in the fermentation and distillation process, or new mechanical production equipment.

In order to improve the operations of the Keyes plant and execute on our business plan, we intend to modify the plant to accommodate alternative feedstocks and new chemical and/or mechanical production processes. We may not be able successfully to implement these modifications, and they may not function as we expect them to. These modifications may cost significantly more to complete than our estimates. The plant may not operate at nameplate capacity once the changes are complete. If any of these risks materialize, they could have a material adverse impact on our results of operation and financial position.

We may be subject to liabilities and losses that may not be covered by insurance.

Our employees and facilities are subject to the hazards associated with producing ethanol and biodiesel. Operating hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, damage to, or destruction of, property, plant and equipment and environmental damage. We maintain insurance coverage in amounts and against the risks that we believe are consistent with industry practice. However, we could sustain losses for uninsurable or uninsured risks, or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. Events that result in significant personal injury or damage to our property or to property owned by third parties or other losses that are not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and quantify due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, the number of incidents not reported and the effectiveness of our safety program. If we were to experience insurance claims or costs above our coverage limits or that are not covered by our insurance, we might be required to use working capital to satisfy these claims rather than to maintain or expand our operations. To the extent that we experience a material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents or workers’ compensation claims, or unfavorable developments on existing claims, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends in part on recruiting and retaining key personnel and, if we fail to do so, it may be more difficult for us to execute our business strategy.

Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management, manufacturing and scientific personnel. We do not maintain any key man insurance. Competition for qualified personnel in the renewable fuel and specialty chemicals manufacturing fields is intense. Our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to retain our current key personnel and attract and retain qualified future key personnel, particularly executive management. Failure to attract or retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our operations subject us to risks associated with foreign laws, policies, regulations, and markets.

Our sales and manufacturing operations in foreign countries are subject to the laws, policies, regulations, and markets of the countries in which we operate. As a result, our foreign manufacturing operations and sales are subject to inherent risks associated with the countries in which we operate. Risks involving our foreign operations include differences or unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, political and economic instability, terrorism and civil unrest, work stoppages or strikes, natural disasters, interruptions in transportation, restrictions on the export or import of technology, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, variations in tariffs, quotas, taxes, and other market barriers, longer payment cycles, changes in economic conditions in the international markets in which our products are sold, and greater fluctuations in sales to customers in developing countries. If we are unable to effectively manage the risks associated with our foreign operations, our business may experience a material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial condition.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Our operations in countries outside the United States, including our operations in India, are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations, including restrictions imposed by the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). The FCPA and similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We operate in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances; strict compliance with anti-corruption laws may conflict with local customs and practices.

Our employees and agents interact with government officials on our behalf, including interactions necessary to obtain licenses and other regulatory approvals necessary to operate our business. These interactions create a risk that actions may occur that could violate the FCPA or other similar laws.

Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations as well as U.S. laws and regulations, including the FCPA, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, consultants, contractors and agents will abide by our policies. If we are found to be liable for violations of the FCPA or similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions, either due to our own acts or out of inadvertence, or due to the acts or inadvertence of others, we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties which could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in India, and we are subject to regulatory, economic and political uncertainties in India.

Certain of our principal operating subsidiaries are incorporated in India, and a substantial portion of our assets and are located in India. We intend to continue to develop and expand our facilities in India. The Indian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the Indian economy. India’s government has traditionally maintained an artificially low price for certain commodities, including diesel fuel, through subsidies, but has recently begun to reduce such subsidies, which benefits us. We cannot assure you that liberalization policies will continue. Various factors, such as changes in the current federal government, could trigger significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular. Our financial performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, as well as social stability and political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future.

Currency fluctuations among the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

A substantial portion of our revenues are denominated in Rupees. We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. The exchange rates among the Rupee and the U.S. dollar have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. We do not currently engage in any formal currency hedging of our foreign currency exposure, and our results of operations may be adversely affected if the Rupee fluctuates significantly against the U.S. dollar.

We are a holding company and there are significant limitations on our ability to receive distributions from our subsidiaries.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries and are dependent on dividends or other intercompany transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to finance our operations. Our subsidiaries have not made significant distributions to the Company and may not have funds available for dividends or distributions in the future. In addition, we may enter into credit, or other, agreements that would contractually restrict our subsidiaries from paying dividends, making distributions, or making intercompany loans to our parent company or to any other subsidiary. In particular, our credit agreement requires us to obtain the prior consent of the lender for dividends or other intercompany fund transfers. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations that are available for distribution, are not sufficient to satisfy our ongoing working capital and corporate overhead requirements, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.

Our Chief Executive Officer has outside business interests which could require time and attention.

Eric A. McAfee, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has outside business interests which include his ownership of McAfee Capital. In addition, Mr. McAfee’s employment agreement requires his devotion of reasonable business efforts and time to the Company. Furthermore, Mr. McAfee is prohibited from engaging in any competitive employment, occupational or consulting services. Although Mr. McAfee’s employment agreement requires that he devote reasonable business efforts to our company, this agreement also permits him to devote time to his outside business interests consistent with past practice. As a result, these outside business interests could interfere with Mr. McAfee’s ability to devote time to our business and affairs.

Our business may be subject to natural forces beyond our control.

Earthquakes, floods, droughts, tsunamis, and other unfavorable weather conditions may affect our operations. Natural catastrophes may have a detrimental effect on our supply and distribution channels, causing a delay or prevention of our receipt of raw materials from our suppliers or delivery of finished goods to our customers. In addition, weather conditions may adversely impact the planting, growth, harvest, storage, and general availability of any number of the products we may process at our facilities or sell to our customers. The severity of these occurrences, should they ever occur, will determine the extent to which and if our business is materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to covenants and other operating restrictions under the terms of our debt, which may restrict our ability to engage in some business transactions.

Our debt facilities contain covenants restricting our ability, among others, to:

●

incur additional debt;

●

make certain capital expenditures;

●

incur or permit liens to exist;

●

enter into transactions with affiliates;

●

guarantee the debt of other entities, including joint ventures;

●

merge or consolidate or otherwise combine with another company; and

●

transfer, sell or lease our assets

These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in business transactions that may be beneficial to the Company, or may restrict our ability to execute our business plan. For further information about our debt facilities please see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Operational difficulties at our facilities may negatively impact our business.

Our operations may experience unscheduled downtimes due to technical or structural failure, political and economic instability, terrorism and civil unrest, natural disasters, and other operational hazards inherent to our operations. These hazards may cause personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, equipment, or the environment, and may result in the suspension of operations or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties. Our insurance may not be adequate to cover such potential hazards and we may not be able to renew our insurance on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, any reduction in the yield or quality of the products we produce could negatively impact our ability to market our products. Any decrease in the quality, reduction in volume, or cessation of our operations due to these hazards would have a material adverse effect on the results of our business and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to manage the growth of our operations.

Our strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on our administrative and operational resources and personnel, which if not effectively managed, could impair our growth. The growth of our business will require significant investments of capital and management’s close attention. If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, our sales may not increase commensurately with capital expenditures and investments. Our ability to effectively manage our growth will require us to substantially expand the capabilities of our administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management, technicians and other personnel. In addition to our plans to adopt technologies that expand our operations and product offerings at our biodiesel and ethanol plants, we may seek to enter into strategic business relationships with companies to expand our operations. If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to achieve our business goals, which may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial condition.

Our mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and joint ventures may not be as beneficial as we anticipate.

We have increased our operations through mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and joint ventures and intend to continue to explore these opportunities in the future. The anticipated benefits of these transactions may take longer to realize than expected, may never be fully realized, or even realized at all. Furthermore, partnerships and joint ventures generally involve restrictive covenants on the parties involved, which may limit our ability to manage these agreements in a manner that is in our best interest. Future mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and joint ventures may involve the issuance of debt or equity, or a combination of the two, as payment for or financing of the business or assets involved, which may dilute ownership interest in our business. Any failure to adequately evaluate and address the risks of and execute on our mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and joint ventures could have an adverse material effect on our business, results of operations, and financial position. In connection with such acquisitions and strategic transactions, we may incur unanticipated expenses, fail to realize anticipated benefits, have difficulty incorporating the acquired businesses, our management may become distracted from our core business, and we may disrupt relationships with current and new employees, customers and vendors, incur significant debt, or have to delay or not proceed with announced transactions. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property.

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade name, confidentiality agreements, and other contractual restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, and corporate partners, and control access to and distribution of our confidential information. These measures may not preclude the disclosure of our confidential or proprietary information. Despite efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information. Monitoring unauthorized use of our confidential information is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to prevent unauthorized use of our confidential information, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the U.S., will be effective.

Companies in our industry aggressively protect and pursue their intellectual property rights. From time to time, we receive notices from competitors and other operating companies, as well as notices from “non-practicing entities,” or NPEs, that claim we have infringed upon, misappropriated or misused other parties’ proprietary rights. Our success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies and processes, or confidential employee, customer or supplier data. Any of our existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.

We may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our technologies, which may require us to curtail or cease our research and development activities.

Since 2007, we have been developing patent-pending enzyme technology to enable the production of ethanol from a combination of starch and cellulose, or from cellulose alone, and in July 2011, we acquired Zymetis, Inc., a biochemical research and development firm, with several patents pending and in-process R&D utilizing the Z-microbe™ to produce renewable chemicals and advanced fuels from renewable feedstocks. Although, the viability of our technology has been demonstrated in the lab, there can be no assurance that we will be able to commercialize our technology. To date, we have not completed a large-scale commercial prototype of our technology and are uncertain at this time when completion of a commercial scale prototype will occur. Commercialization risks include economic financial feasibility at commercial scale, availability of funding to complete large-scale commercial prototype, ability of Z-microbeTM to function at commercial scale and ability to obtain regulatory approvals, and market acceptance of product.

Risks related to ownership of our stock

There can be no assurance that a liquid public market for our common stock will exist.

Our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Markets electronic over-the-counter trading system. A very limited number of our shares of common stock trade on a regular basis and there may not be adequate liquidity in our common stock to settle trades at any given time. There can be no assurance that a regular and established market will be developed and maintained for our common stock. There can also be no assurance as to the strength or liquidity of any market for our common stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell their shares.

It is likely that there will be significant volatility in the trading price of our stock.

Market prices for our common stock will be influenced by many factors and will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our operating results and other factors. Because our business is the operation of our biodiesel and ethanol plants and the future development and operation of next-generation cellulosic ethanol plants, factors that could affect our future stock price, and create volatility in our stock price, include the price and demand for ethanol and biodiesel, the price and availability of oil and gasoline, the political situation in the Middle East, U.S. energy policies, federal and state regulatory changes that affect the price of ethanol or biodiesel, and the existence or discontinuation of legislative incentives for renewable fuels. Our stock price will also be affected by the trading price of the stock of our competitors, investor perceptions of us, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the ethanol or biodiesel industry, developments with regard to our operations and activities, our future financial condition, and changes in our management.

Our stock may have risks associated with low priced stocks.

Although our common stock currently is quoted and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the price at which the stock will trade in the future cannot currently be estimated. Since December 15, 2008, our common stock has traded below $5.00 per share. As a result, trading in our common stock may be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions) and a two business day “cooling off period” before broker and dealers can effect transactions in penny stocks. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. These, and the other burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the penny stock requirements, could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of holders of our common stock to sell it.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

We have not paid any cash dividends on any of our securities since inception and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on any of our securities in the foreseeable future.

Our principal shareholders hold a substantial amount of our common stock.

Eric A. McAfee, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Laird Q. Cagan, a former board member, in the aggregate, beneficially own 29.8% of our common stock outstanding. In addition, the other members of our Board of Directors and management, in the aggregate, excluding Eric McAfee, beneficially own approximately 4.1% of our common stock. Our lender, Third Eye Capital, acting as principal and an agent, beneficially owns 17.5% of our common stock. As a result, these shareholders, acting together, will be able to influence many matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and acquisitions and other significant corporate transactions. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” The interests of these shareholders may differ from yours and this concentration of ownership enables these shareholders to exercise influence over many matters requiring shareholder approval, may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control, and could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your securities as part of a sale of the company and may affect the market price of our securities.

Rule 144 will not be available to holders of restricted shares during any period in which the Company has failed to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

From time to time the Company has issued shares in transactions exempt from registration. Shares issued pursuant to exemptions from registration are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. However, Rule 144 is not available with respect to restricted shares acquired from an issuer that is or was at any time in its past a shell company if the former shell company has failed to file all reports that it is required to file under the Exchange Act during the 12 months preceding the sale. If at any time the Company fails to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, Rule 144 will not be available to holders of restricted shares, which may limit your ability to sell your restricted shares.

The conversion of convertible securities and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock could substantially dilute your investment and reduce the voting power of your shares, impede our ability to obtain additional financing and cause us to incur additional expenses.

Our Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into our common stock. As of December 31, 2013, there were 2.4 million shares of our Series B convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, convertible into shares of our common stock on one to one ratio. Certain of our financing arrangements, such as our Subordinated Notes, our line of credit with Laird Cagan, our arrangements with Third Eye Capital and as part of working capital arrangements with JD Heiskell are convertible into, or contain the right to purchase shares of our common stock at fixed prices. As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 1.6 million shares of our common stock. Additionally, there are outstanding warrants and options to acquire our common stock issued to employees, directors and others. As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding warrants and options to purchase 13.2 million shares of our common stock.

Such securities allow their holders an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock such that conversion of the securities will result in dilution of the equity interests of our common stockholders. The terms on which we may obtain additional financing may be adversely affected by the existence and potentially dilutive impact of our outstanding convertible and other promissory notes, Series B convertible preferred stock, options and warrants. In addition, holders of our outstanding promissory notes and certain warrants have registration rights with respect to the common stock underlying those notes and warrants, the registration of which involves substantial expense.

Aemetis productively utilizes the majority of the space in these facilities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On March 10, 2011, one of our subsidiaries, Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd. (“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 informs UBPL that an event of default has occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan commencing 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. 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. 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. UBPL is filing 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 the event that the Company is unable to prevail with 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.

On August 21, 2012, UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company for damages based on a breach of contract theory in connection with the Cilion acquisition transaction. On January 15, 2013, UBS and the Company entered into a pre-trial settlement agreement where the Company will pay UBS the sum of $2.25 million, payable in monthly installments. The District Court approved the settlement agreement. The Company was unable to perform a term of the agreement. Subsequently, UBS filed a motion for, and the District Court approved, a judgment against the Company in the liquidated amount of $2.3 million which has been accrued by the Company. UBS has filed post-judgment discovery requests and is actively pursuing enforcement of the judgment.

On August 4, 2013, GS Cleantech Corporation, a subsidiary of Greenshift Corporation (“Greenshift”), filed a complaint in the United States District for the Eastern District of California – Fresno Division against the Company and its subsidiary, Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. The complaint alleges infringement of patent rights assigned to Greenshift that pertain to certain corn oil extraction processes the Company employs. The corn oil extraction process is licensed to us by Valicor Separation Technologies LLC, formerly called Solution Recovery Services LLC (“SRS”). The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) issued a Conditional Transfer Order transferring the complaint to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana because it appeared that the complaint involves questions of fact that are common to over a dozen complaints filed by Greenshift against other defendants that have been pending for over three years. On September 12, 2013, the Company, along with its subsidiary, filed its answer and counterclaims. Greenshift is seeking royalties, damages and treble damages and attorney’s fees from the Company, as well as a preliminary and permanent injunction precluding the Company from infringing its patent rights pertaining to certain corn oil extraction processes. The process provider, SRS, has no obligations to indemnify us. We estimate that damages being sought in this litigation are based on a reasonable royalty to or lost profits of Greenshift. If the court deems the case exceptional, attorney’s fees may be awarded and damages with attorney’s fees would likely be $1 million or more. The Company believes the claims to be without merit and will vigorously defend itself. If we are not successful in our defense, we would be liable for damages and at least our own attorneys’ fees. The Company’s counterclaims are expected to include invalidity due to obviousness, non- infringement, and inequitable conduct, which are also presently the subjects of the summary judgment motions pending in the multidistrict litigation. We are not currently able to predict the outcome of this litigation against the Company with any degree of certainty.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information

Our stock became qualified for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol AEBF in 2007 and continued to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board until September 24, 2010. Thereafter, the Company commenced trading on the OTC Market as an OTCQB company under the symbol AMTX, where it continues to trade today. There is, at present, a very low public market for the Company’s common shares, and there is no assurance that any such market will develop, or if developed, that such market will be sustained. The Company’s common shares therefore are not a suitable investment for persons who may have to liquidate their investment on a timely basis.

Although quotations for the Company’s common stock appear on the OTC Markets, there is no established public trading market for the common stock. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock for each full quarterly period during fiscal 2012 and 2013 on the OTC Market. The source of these quotations is OTCMarkets.com. The bid prices are inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commission, and may not reflect actual transactions.

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 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 and a plant in Keyes, California where we manufacture and produce ethanol, wet distillers’ grain (WDG), condensed distillers solubles (CDS) and corn 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 Advanced Biofuel Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN’s). 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.

The operations at our Keyes plant will result in the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In 2010, the EPA released its final regulations on the Renewable Fuel Standard Program, or RFS2. We believe the EPA’s final RFS2 regulations grandfather the Keyes facility we operate at its current capacity, however, compliance with future legislation may require us to take action unknown to us at this time that could be costly, and require the use of working capital, which may or may not be available, preventing us from operating as planned, which may have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flow.

North America

In the second quarter of 2012, we acquired the Keyes, CA ethanol plant which we had previously been operating since April 2011 pursuant to a 5-year lease agreement with Cilion, Inc. The Keyes plant is a dry mill ethanol production facility currently utilizing corn and grain sorghum as feedstocks.

We produce four products at the Keyes plant: denatured ethanol, WDG, corn oil and CDS. In 2013, we sold 100% of the ethanol and WDG we produced to J.D. Heiskell pursuant to a Purchase Agreement established with J.D. Heiskell. Small amounts of CDS were sold to various local third parties. Ethanol pricing is determined pursuant to a marketing agreement between us and Kinergy Marketing LLC, and is generally based on daily and monthly pricing for ethanol delivered to the San Francisco Bay Area, California, as published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), as well as quarterly contracts negotiated by Kinergy with local fuel blenders. The price for WDG is determined monthly pursuant to a marketing agreement between the Company and A.L. Gilbert Co., and is generally determined in reference to the price of dry distillers grains (DDG) and corn.

On January 15, 2013, we temporarily idled the corn grinding and ethanol production activities at our Keyes, California plant due to unfavorable market conditions for corn ethanol production, while we undertook efforts perform maintenance and to restart the plant as an advanced biofuel producer. This action was in keeping with the Company’s plan to move to advanced biofuel feedstocks and inputs using a recently approved combined grain sorghum and biogas EPA pathway for a significant portion of our operational capacity. Operations at the ethanol plant were restarted in April 2013. In September 2013, we 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 (CHP) system to generate higher value Advanced Biofuel Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN’s).

India

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, we operated our biodiesel plant in India. However, during 2012 and 2013 our India operations were constrained by funds available from our working capital partner and by diesel price supports by the India government. In January 2013, the India government reduced subsidies for diesel by increasing the sales price of diesel to bulk purchasers (railways and state transportation corporations) to the market price and by increasing the sales price of diesel to other purchasers at the rate of 45 paisa per liter per month until the price reached the market price. Our biodiesel pricing is indexed to the price of petroleum diesel, and as such, the increase in the price of petroleum diesel is expected to favorably impact the profitability of our India operations.

We increased sales at our India plant by diversifying our product lines and our customer base. In early 2012, we completed the construction of glycerin and oil refining units, which enable us to produce and sell refined glycerin and refined palm oil. During 2013, we further increased sales with expanded orders from international customers. In addition, we commissioned biodiesel distillation capacity for the biodiesel plant in February 2014 and this allows the India plant to produce quality biodiesel which meets or exceeds international standards.

In addition, we have begun to develop a base of industrial customers who use fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) as a specialty chemical for commercial manufacturing.

North America Segment

Revenue

Substantially all of our North America revenues during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were from sales of ethanol and WDG. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we produced and sold 42,389,726 gallons of ethanol and 300,666 tons of WDG compared to 53,038,270 gallons of ethanol and 379,662 tons of WDG during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold

Substantially all of our feedstock is procured by J.D. Heiskell. Our cost of feedstock includes rail, truck, or ship transportation, local basis costs and a handling fee paid to J.D. Heiskell. Cost of goods sold also includes chemicals, plant overhead and out bound transportation. Plant overhead includes direct and indirect costs associated with the operation of the ethanol plant, including the cost of electricity and natural gas, maintenance, insurance, direct labor, depreciation and freight. Transportation includes the costs of in-bound delivery of corn by rail, inbound delivery of grain sorghum by ship, rail, and truck, and out-bound shipments of ethanol and WDG by truck. In 2013, transportation cost for ethanol and WDG was approximately $0.09 per gallon.

Pursuant to a Corn Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell, we purchase all of our corn and grain Sorghum from Heiskell. Title to the corn or grain sorghum passes to us when the corn is ground for processing at our facility and entered into the production process. The credit term of the corn or grain sorghum purchased from J.D. Heiskell is five days. J.D. Heiskell purchases our ethanol and WDG on one-day terms.

The price of corn is established by J.D Heiskell based on Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) pricing including transportation and basis, plus a handling fee. We establish pricing for WDG and ethanol pursuant to marketing agreements with Kinergy and A.L. Gilbert. Ethanol prices are based on daily OPIS published rates, while the price of WDG is based on a percentage of dry distiller grains and corn prices. J.D. Heiskell is contractually obligated to sell all of the ethanol to Kinergy Marketing LLC, who in turn sells the ethanol to local blenders and all of the WDG to A.L Gilbert who in turn sells the WDG to local dairies and feedlots.

Sales, Marketing and General Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A expenses consist of employee compensation, professional services, travel, depreciation, taxes, insurance, rent and utilities, including license and permit fees, penalties and interest, and sales and marketing fees. Our single largest expense is employee compensation, including related stock compensation, followed by sales and marketing fees paid in connection with the marketing and sale of ethanol and WDG.

In October 2010, we entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with Kinergy Marketing LLC to market and sell our ethanol and an agreement with A.L. Gilbert to market and sell our WDG. The agreements expire on August 31, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are automatically renewed for additional one-year terms. Pursuant to these agreements, our marketing costs for ethanol and WDG are less than 2% of sales.

Research and Development Expenses (R&D)

In 2012 and 2013, substantially all of our R&D expenses were related to our research and development activities in Maryland.

India Segment

Revenue

Substantially all of our India segment revenues during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were from sales of biodiesel and glycerin. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we sold 19,354 metric tons of biodiesel, 4,913 metric tons of refined glycerin and 3,746 metric tons of refined palm oil compared to 4,127 metric tons of biodiesel, 2,318 tons of refined glycerin, and 7,039 metric tons of refined palm oil during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

During 2013, we sold 3,995 metric tons of processed natural refined palm oil (NRPO) to customers. During 2012, we commissioned our pre-treatment unit, began producing and sold 7,039 metric tons of processed NRPO to customers. During the portion of the year, we were able to refine crude palm oil into NRPO at a more attractive margin than converting stearin into biodiesel.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of feedstock oil, chemicals, direct costs (principally labor and labor related costs), and factory overhead. Depending upon the costs of these inputs in comparison to the sales price of biodiesel and glycerin, our gross margins at any given time can vary from positive to negative. Factory overhead includes direct and indirect costs associated with the plant, including the cost of repairs and maintenance, consumables, maintenance, on-site security, insurance, depreciation and inbound freight.

We purchase NRPO, a non-edible feedstock, for our biodiesel unit from neighboring natural oil processing plants at a discount to refined palm oil. NRPO is received by truck and title passes when the NRPO is received at our facility. Credit terms vary by vendor; however, we generally receive 15 days of credit on the purchases. We purchase crude glycerin in the international market on letters of credit or advance payment terms.

Sales, Marketing and General Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A expenses consist of employee compensation, professional services, travel, depreciation, taxes, insurance, rent and utilities, including licenses and permits, penalties, and sales and marketing fees. Pursuant to an operating agreement with Secunderabad Oils Limited, we receive operational support and working capital. We compensate Secunderabad Oils Limited with a percentage of the profits and losses generated from operations. Payments of interest are identified as interest income while payments of profit and losses are identified as compensation for the operational support component of this agreement. We therefore include the portion of profit or losses paid to Secunderabad Oils Limited as a component of SG&A and our SG&A component will vary based on the profits earned by operations. In addition, we market our biodiesel and glycerin through our internal sales staff, commissioned agents and brokers. Commissions paid to agents are included as a component of SG&A.

Research and Development Expenses (R&D)

Our India segment has no research and development activities.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

Revenues

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

	Fiscal Year Ended December 31 (in thousands)
	2013		2012		Increase/(Decrease)			Percentage Change
North America	$	144,698	$	175,501	$	(30,803	)		(17.6	)%
India		32,816		13,548		19,268			142.2	%
Total	$	177,514	$	189,049	$	(11,535	)		(6.1	)%

North America. The decrease in revenues in the North America segment for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects the operation of the Keyes, CA plant for only 9 months in 2013 compared to full year of operation in 2012. In addition, the shorter operation cycle in 2013 reduced our gallons sold in ethanol and WDG by 20% and 2% respectively, however the decrease in revenues were partially offset by an increase in the average price per gallon in ethanol of 5% but increased by a reduction in the price of WDG by 3%. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated approximately 77% of revenues from sales of ethanol and 21% of revenues from sales of WDG and 2% of revenues from corn oil and syrup sales compared to 76% of revenues from sales of ethanol and 22% of revenues from sales of WDG for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, plant operations averaged 103% of nameplate capacity for nine months of operations compared to 96% for the twelve months of operations in 2012 due to a decision by management to slow down production during the last quarter of 2012 in response to unfavorable market conditions.

India. The increase in revenues in the India segment for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects (i) an increase in the amount of biodiesel produced and sold as a result of consistent sales into the domestic market and several sales to one international customer during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to no international sales during the year ended December 31, 2012, (ii) continuing stronger sales of the refined glycerin unit (iii) a decrease in sales of natural refined palm oil (NRPO) and an increase in sales of crude palm oil. We sold 19,354 metric tons of biodiesel and 4,913 metric tons of refined glycerin, which reflects an increase of 369% and 115%, respectively, over 2012, while the price decreased by 26% and 4%, respectively, in 2013 compared to 2012. In addition, we sold 8,222 metric tons of RPO/Stearin in 2013 compared to 6,552 metric tons in 2012, while the average price decreased by 140%. Also, we sold 2,000 metric tons of CPO, which made up 1% of our total India revenue in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated approximately 55% of revenue from sales of biodiesel (methyl ester), 14% of revenue from sales of glycerin and 31% of revenue from sales of NRPO and crude palm oil, compared to 31% of revenue from sales of biodiesel, 16% of revenue from sales of glycerin and 53% of revenue from sales of NRPO for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold

	Fiscal Year Ended December 31 (in thousands)
	2013		2012		Increase/(Decrease)			Percentage Change
North America	$	130,498	$	183,784	$	(53,286	)		(29.0	)%
India		28,722		14,191		14,531			102.4	%
Total	$	159,220	$	197,975	$	(38,755	)		(19.6	)%

North America. We ground 15.0 million bushels of corn and grain sorghum during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 18.6 million bushels of corn during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Our cost of feedstock on a per ton basis decreased by 14% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012. The decrease in costs of goods sold between the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 reflects the idling of the Keyes, CA plant from January 15, 2013 through April 22, 2013 compared to twelve months of operations during the year ended December 31, 2012.

India. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the increase in sales of biodiesel and refined glycerin revenue in 2013. In addition, the cost of NRPO increased on an average of 21% per ton basis in 2013 compared to 2012. Even though, the cost of goods sold increased, gross margins were positive in 2013 due to higher volume sales in biodiesel and refined glycerin compared to 2012 which had negative gross margins due to higher raw material costs and lower finished goods prices in 2012. We processed 4,014 metric tons of refined palm oil (RPO) and 3,851 metric tons of crude glycerin during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 to produce 19,796 metric tons of biodiesel and 4,972 metric tons of refined glycerin compared to the processing of 4,745 metric tons of refined palm oil and 1,313 metric tons of crude glycerin to produce 4,047 metric tons of biodiesel and 2,332 metric tons of refined glycerin during the 2012.

Operating Expenses

R&D

	Fiscal Year Ended December 31 (in thousands)
	2013		2012		Increase/(Decrease)			Percentage Change
North America	$	539	$	620	$	(81	)		(13.1	)%
India		-		-		-			-
Total	$	539	$	620	$	(81	)		(13.1	)%

The decrease in R&D expense in our North America segment in 2013 primarily came from lower legal costs compared to 2012 offset by the increase in amortization expense in 2013. Legal costs in 2012 related principally to the acquisition of Zymetis in 2012.

SG&A

	Fiscal Year Ended December 31 (in thousands)
	2013		2012		Increase/(Decrease)		Percentage Change
North America	$	12,428	$	10,922	$	1,506		13.8	%
India		2,847		691		2,156		312.0	%
Total	$	15,275	$	11,613	$	3,662		31.5	%

North America. The increase in SG&A in the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to:( i) reclassification of fixed costs from cost of goods sold to SG&A in early 2013 related to idling of the plant of approximately $2.5 million, (ii) stock compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million, (iii) $0.2 million in payroll expense, and, (iv) $0.2 million in other miscellaneous expense. These increases for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with 2012 were offset by decreases in (i) financial advisory service fees of $1.9 million and (ii) marketing fees of $0.3 million.

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 year ended December, 2013 and 2012, we incurred approximately $0.9 million and $0.1 million in operational support fees and incurred salary and related expenses of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2million, respectively. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2013, year- over-year spending increased by $0.5 million due to increase in commission, travelling, and selling expenses.

Other Income/Expense

Other income (expense) consisted of the following items:

●

Interest expense is attributable to debt facilities of the Company, our subsidiaries Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd., International Biofuels, Inc., AE Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. and interest accrued on the complaint filed by Cordillera Fund, L.P. These debt facilities included revenue participation fees, warrants issued as fees and the payment of other fees and discount fees, which are amortized under amortization expense. The fair value of stock and warrants are amortized through amortization expense, except when the extinguishment accounting method is applied, where refinanced debt costs are recorded through the extinguishment expense account. We incurred interest, amortization and loss on debt extinguishment expense of approximately $28.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 ($0.8 million from India loans and $27.2 million from North America loans) compared to $26.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 ($4.4 million from India loans and $22.3 million from North America loans) principally due to the additional debt associated with the acquisition of the Keyes, CA plant.

●

On July 6, 2012 we acquired Cilion, Inc. through a merger. The excess of the fair value of the assets acquired gave rise to a gain on bargain purchase accounting of $42.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

●

Some of the equipment acquired during the Cilion merger sold for a gain of $0.1 million and some of the equipment was classified as held for sale during 2012. The equipment held for sale was sold for a gain of $0.2 million during 2013.

●

During 2012 we sold our land holding in Sutton, Nebraska at a gain of $236,830.

●

During 2013, we settled several past outstanding liabilities and accordingly recognized a gain of $0.6 million in other income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

2013

During the first half of 2013, when our plant in Keyes, CA was idle, we funded our operations primarily from borrowings under our credit facilities. Upon restart of the Keyes, CA plant, we were able to fund operations of the company through the operations of this plant. Increasing profitability from operations allowed us to repay certain accrued interest to the benefit of our senior lender and by generating excess cash allowing payments against the principal portion of the senior debt.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $4.9 million at December 31, 2013, of which $3.8 million was held in our North American entities and $1.1 million was held in our Indian subsidiary. Our current ratio at December 31, 2013 was 0.35 compared to a current ratio of 0.13 at December 31, 2012.

The EB-5 program allows for the issuance of up to 72 subordinated convertible promissory notes, each in the 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. Deposits held in escrow pending investor approval by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services were $3,000,000 at December 31, 2013. 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:

	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,925,820	$	290,603
Current assets (including cash, cash equivalents, and deposits)		12,706,908		6,845,449
Current liabilities (including short term debt)		36,116,546		57,835,203
Short and long term debt		91,758,183		70,045,595

Our principal sources of liquidity have been borrowings under various debt arrangements and cash provided by operations. Our principal uses of cash have been to finance working capital, to service indebtedness, the acquisition of the Keyes plant and other 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 II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

During the months representing the second half of 2013 and the first two months of 2014, we have experienced a continued increase in the spread between the prices of ethanol and WDG and the prices of corn and natural gas, which has improved our results of operations. This favorable spread is driven by a strong corn harvest in the fall of 2013 resulting in lower corn costs, domestic export of ethanol into the international market and favorable logistics for ethanol producers in our region. We operate in a volatile market for which we have little control over the major components of production costs and product revenues. As such, we expect that cash provided by operating activities will fluctuate in future periods primarily as a result of changes in the prices for corn, ethanol, WDG, biodiesel, 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 palm oil and energy costs narrow, we may require additional working capital to fund operations. For additional discussion, see “Part I—Item 1A Risk Factors.”

Management believes that through: (i) operating the Keyes plant in the current positive operating margin environment, (ii) continuing to incorporate lower-cost non-food advanced biofuels feedstock at the Keyes plant, such as grain sorghum, 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 international shipments from the Kakinada plant, and (vi) continuing to expand the domestic India markets as the subsidy on diesel is reduced, 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 December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of principal, interest and fees, net of discounts, on all Third Eye Capital financing arrangements equaled approximately $72,286,000. No amounts remained available to be drawn under the Third Eye Capital financing arrangements as of December 31, 2013. The current maturity date for all of the Third Eye Capital financing arrangements is July 6, 2014, although we have the option to extend the maturity date until January 2015. 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 II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. 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.

During the months of December 2013, January 2014 and February 2014, we used cash flows from operations to fund our operations and made principal payments of $7,500,000 against the Revolving Credit Facility with our senior lender.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2013, current and long term debt increased $21.7 million primarily due to (i) accrued interest net of payments of $7.0 million associated with existing and amended agreements with our senior lender, sub debt, and India debts, (ii) additional borrowings net of payment of $4.4 million received from our senior lender and $0.4 million in working capital loans from our working capital arrangement with Secunderabad Oils Limited, (iii) accrued fees on waivers with our senior lender of $8.1 million (iv) additional borrowings net of payment of $0.3 million from subordinated lenders. The increase in current and long term debt was offset by decreases due to: (i) payment of principal by issuance of common stock, and (ii) repayment of working capital loans from inventory sales. Additionally, Amendment No. 6 allowed for the senior secured Third Eye Capital notes to continue to be classified as long term due to the waivers on certain note covenants and right to exercise extension of the maturity date of these notes. Current assets increased $5.8 million primarily due to a (i) $4.6 million increase in cash from North America and India operations (ii) $1.4 million increase in accounts receivable driven from growth in sales (iii) $0.5 million decrease in inventory and (iv) $0.3 million increase in prepaids and other assets.

Net cash used in operating activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $1.7 million consisting of non-cash charges of $22.3 million, net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.5 million, and net loss of $24.4 million. The non-cash charges consisted of: (i) $12.7 million in amortization of debt issuances and patents, (ii) $4.6 million in depreciation expenses, (iii) $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expense and (iv) $3.7 million in loss on extinguishment of debt. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of an increase in accrued interest of $7.0 million partially offset: (i) $5.4 million decrease in accounts payable, (ii) $1.5 million decrease in accounts receivable, (iii) $0.8 million increase in other liabilities, (iv) $0.7 million decrease in other assets, and (v) $0.2 million increase in inventory.

Cash provided by investing activities of $0.2 million primarily from $1.5 million proceeds from sale of equipment, offset by $1.3 million in capital purchases of equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities of $6.2 million resulted primarily from: (i) proceeds from secured debt facilities of $4.8 million, (ii) proceeds from unsecured and sub-debt term notes and working capital lines of credit of $5.7 million, offset by $5.4 million in payments, and (iii) proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.1 million.

As of the publication of this report, no amounts remained available for future draw on the Revolving Loan Facility.

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 U.S. 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 revenues and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of 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

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We derive revenue primarily from sales of ethanol and related co-products, biodiesel, refined glycerin, and refined palm oil. We recognize revenue when title transfers to our customers, which is generally upon the delivery of these products to a customer’s designated location. These deliveries are made in accordance with sales commitments and related sales orders entered into with customers and our working capital partner J.D. Heiskell for our Keyes plant and Secunderabad Oils Limited for our Kakinada plant. Commitments can be offered either verbally or in written form. The sales commitments and related sales orders provide quantities, pricing and conditions of sales. In this regard, sales consist of inventory produced at our Keyes or Kakinada plant.

Revenues from sales of ethanol and its co-products are billed net of the related transportation and marketing charges. The transportation component is accounted for in cost of goods sold and the marketing component is accounted for in sales, general and administrative expense. Revenues are recorded at the gross invoiced amount. Deductions taken by our customer for transportation and marketing are recorded as cost of goods sold and marketing, respectively. Additionally, our working capital partner leases our finished goods tank and requires us to transfer legal title to the product upon transfer of our finished ethanol to this location. We consider the purchase of corn as a cost of goods sold and the sale of ethanol upon transfer to the finished goods tank as revenue on the basis that (i) we bear the risk of gain or loss on the processing of corn into ethanol and (ii) we have legal title to the goods during the processing time.

Recoverability of Our Long-Lived Assets

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on our biodiesel production facility and our leasehold improvements to the Keyes plant, computer equipment and software, office furniture and equipment, vehicles, and other fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which currently range from three to 25 years. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets, which is accounted for prospectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Our long-lived assets consist of property and equipment. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, we record an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges have been recorded during the periods presented.

Our goodwill consists of amounts relating to our acquisitions of Zymetis, Inc. in 2011. We review goodwill at an individual plant or subsidiary level for impairment at least annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We perform a two-step impairment test to evaluate goodwill. Under the first step, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we would complete a second step to determine the amount of the goodwill impairment that we should record. In the second step, we would determine an implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill. We would then compare the resulting implied fair value of the goodwill to the carrying amount and record an impairment charge for the difference.

The reviews of long-lived assets and goodwill require making estimates regarding amount and timing of projected cash flows to be generated by an asset or asset group over an extended period of time. Management judgment regarding the existence of circumstances that indicate impairment is based on numerous potential factors including, but not limited to, a decline in our future projected cash flows, a decision to suspend operations at a plant for an extended period of time, adoption of our product by the market, a sustained decline in our market capitalization, a sustained decline in market prices for similar assets or businesses, or a significant adverse change in legal or regulatory factors or the business climate. Significant management judgment is required in determining the fair value of our long-lived assets and goodwill to measure impairment, including projections of future cash flows. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Changes in estimates of fair value could result in a write-down of the asset in a future period. Given the current economic and regulatory environment and uncertainties regarding the impact on our business, there are no assurances that our estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future.

Business Combinations through Acquisitions – Purchase Price Allocation

We apply the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. Identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over our interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If our interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds the cost of the acquisition, a gain is recognized in earnings on the acquisition date only after we have reassessed whether we have correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed. For most acquisitions, we engage outside appraisal firms to assist in the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets such as customer relationships, trade names, property and equipment and any other significant assets or liabilities. We adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, after the acquisition closing date through the end of the measurement period (up to one year) as we finalize valuations for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Convertible Instruments

During 2010, we modified our revolving line of credit with Laird Cagan to add a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) in exchange for Mr. Cagan agreeing to subordinate the line of credit to another lender. The fee paid and BCF were recorded at fair value and amortized over the remaining term of the line of credit. Since the BCF also included a conversion feature allowing for any future interest accrued being convertible, interest was recorded on a daily valuation methodology at the commitment date and each day thereafter over the life of the loan. The intrinsic value was calculated as the difference between the conversion price of $0.05 per share and the market price on each day multiplied by the number of shares convertible. This difference is deferred as a debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the conversion option on September 2, 2010, which became the commitment and measurement date for the outstanding interest and fees. Line of credit accrued daily interest through October 27, 2011 with a right to convert outstanding interest and fee at $0.05 per share. Beginning October 1, 2011, the BCF of daily interest was measured and recorded as a debt discount each day using the average of 22 days of trailing closing stock prices as quoted on the OTC markets. This fee was also treated as a fee and amortized over the remaining term of the line of credit, which at the time matured on June 30, 2011. On July 1, 2011 the line of credit maturity was extended to July 1, 2012 by adding a five percent of loan balance waiver fee to the outstanding balance. Effective on July 1, 2012 the line of credit maturity was extended to July 1, 2014 by adding a five percent waiver fee to the outstanding loan balance. On April 18, 2013, the Company issued 1,826,547 shares of common stock and transferred an existing deposit held by Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. in the amount of $170,000, as payment for $991,946 of interest and fees outstanding under this revolving line of credit and issued new term notes to two non-related parties in the amount of $560,612 for payment of the remaining principal, interest and fees.

Testing for Modification or Extinguishment Accounting

During 2013 and 2012 we evaluated amendments to our debt under the ASC 470-50 guidance for modification and extinguishment accounting. This evaluation included 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 our future cash flows changed more than 10 percent, we fair valued our debt based on factors available to us for similar borrowings and used the extinguishment accounting method to account for debt.

Warrant Liability Accounting

Certain common stock warrants issued in the Company’s equity financing are classified as liabilities under ASC 480. The Company uses Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of valuation for warrants subject to warrant liability accounting. Warrants subject to liability accounting are valued on the date of issuance and re-measured at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The determination of fair value as of the reporting date is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the security and risk-free interest rate. In addition, the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of an expected life for the securities, which we estimated based upon the remaining term of the warrant. The primary factors affecting the fair value of the warrant liability are the Company’s stock price and volatility. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Other reasonable assumptions in the pricing model could provide differing results.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2013, the FASB issued amended guidance in ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. The amended guidance addresses disclosure of offsetting financial assets and liabilities. It requires entities to add disclosures showing both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The update is applied retrospectively and do not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to require reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to be presented either in the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements based on the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including (1) changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by presenting the amount reclassified and the individual income statement line items affected. The update is applied prospectively and do not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under the new standard update, unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, is to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2015 and applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The information contained in this section covers management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 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.

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 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 not 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures by us are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the period covered by this report based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the results of management’s assessment and evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Discussed below are changes made to our internal control over financial reporting since our last filing through December 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.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified are:

(1)	Ineffective controls exist to ensure that the accounting and reporting for complex accounting transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP.

●

A number of significant audit adjustments were made to the general ledger, which collectively could have a material effect on the financial statements. These adjustments were made up of entries to properly record the carrying value of debt issue costs, warrant accounting and various other adjustments summarized in our Report to the Audit Committee communication.

●	As part of our review of the financial statements included in the 10-K, we also made significant revisions to the statement of cash flows and various notes to the financial statements, which indicate that additional controls over disclosures need to be evaluated.

Remediation

As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have and will continue to, among other things:

(1)	Increase our efforts to educate both our existing and expanded accounting policy and control organization on the application of the internal control structure;

(2)	Emphasize with management the importance of our internal control structure;

(3)	Seek outside consulting services where our existing accounting policy and control organization believes the complexity of the existing exceeds our internal capabilities.

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.

Item 9B. Other Information

On January 1, 2014, the May 23, 2013 Subordinated Note maturity was extended until the earlier of (i) June 30, 2014; (ii) completion of an equity financing by AAFK or Aemetis in an amount of not less than $25,000,000; (iii) the completion of an Initial Public Offering by AAFK or Aemetis; or (iv) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including failure to pay interest or principal when due and breaches of note covenants. A 10 percent cash extension fee was paid by adding the fee to the balance of the new Note and 300,000 in common stock warrants were granted with a term of five years and an exercise price of $0.001 per share. We evaluated these Jan 1, 2014 amendments and the refinancing terms of the Note and determined in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment that the loan was extinguished and as a result a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $115,000 was recorded in January 2014. See Note 18 – Subsequent Events.

Harold Sorgenti

John R. Block

Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee

The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (i) reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the CEO’s compensation, evaluates the CEO’s performance relative to goals and objectives and sets the CEO’s compensation annually; (ii) makes recommendations annually to the Board of Directors with respect to non-CEO compensation; (iii) considers and periodically reports on matters relating to the identification, selection and qualification of the Board of Directors and candidates nominated to the Board of Directors and its committees; (iv) develops and recommends governance principles applicable to the Company; and (v) oversees the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management from a corporate governance perspective.

During 2013, Francis Barton, Dr. Hutcheson and Harold Sorgenti served as members of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee with Mr. Sorgenti serving as Chairman. Each current member of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is an independent director within the meaning set forth in the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq, as currently in effect.

The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for membership on the Board of Directors as described below under “Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors.” In evaluating such recommendations, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board of Directors and to address the membership criteria set forth under “Director Qualifications.” Any stockholder recommendations proposed for consideration by the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee should include the candidate’s name and qualifications for membership on the Board of Directors and should be addressed to the attention of our Corporate Secretary — re: stockholder director recommendation.

Director Qualifications. The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee does not have any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by a Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee-recommended nominee, but uses a variety of criteria to evaluate the qualifications and skills necessary for members of our Board of Directors, including capability, availability to serve, diversity, independence and other factors. Under these criteria, members of the Board of Directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values. A director should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education, technology or public interest. A director should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties, and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their past experience. A director’s service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform their director duties responsibly. Each director must represent the interests of Aemetis stockholders.

In addition to the foregoing, prior to any meeting of stockholders at which directors will be elected, as a condition to re-nomination, incumbent directors will be required to submit a resignation of their directorships in writing to the Chairman of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board. The resignation will become effective only if the director fails to receive a sufficient number of votes for re-election at the meeting of stockholders, as described in the Company’s bylaws as recently amended and the Board accepts the resignation.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors. The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee regularly assess the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee considers properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for the Board of Directors. In evaluating such recommendations, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee uses the qualifications standards discussed above and seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board of Directors.

A copy of the Committee’s written charter is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.aemetis.com.

In 2013, the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee held three (3) meetings, two (2) of which were regularly scheduled meetings and one (1) of which was a special meeting. Each director who is a member of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Committee during fiscal year 2013.

Summary of Material Features of the 2007 Stock Plan

The following discussion summarizes the material terms of the Aemetis 2007 Stock Plan as amended and restated April 8, 2008 (“2007 Stock Plan”). A description of the 2007 Stock Plan, which is intended merely as a summary of its principal features and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2007 Stock Plan, as filed on Schedule 14A with the SEC on April 8, 2008, is below.

Administration. The 2007 Stock Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors and a Committee of the Board. Awards indented to qualify as “performance-based compensation” must be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors.”

Term. The 2007 Stock Plan shall continue in effect for a period of 10 years. In general, the term of each option granted shall be no more than ten 10 years from the date of grant, though in certain instances such term may be shorter.

Eligibility. Employees and Service Providers of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Stock Plan. There are approximately 120 employees and five non-employee directors currently eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Stock Plan. The number of other Service Providers potentially eligible to participate in the 2007 Stock Plan is not currently determinable. Awards under the 2007 Stock Plan may include grants of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares, and awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligibility for any particular award is determined by the Administrator (as defined in the 2007 Stock Plan) and, in the case of certain awards such as incentive stock options, eligibility for receipt of such awards may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code.

Award Limits. Awards under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan are subject to the following limits:

Plan Limits. The Company has reserved 4,000,000 Common Shares for issuance under the 2007 Stock Plan. Issuances under the plan will be increased each year in an amount of the lesser of: (i) 1,000,000 Shares, (ii) one percent (1%) of the shares outstanding and issuable pursuant to outstanding awards at the end of the fiscal year, and (iii) such number as determined by the Board. The 2007 Stock Plan had 9, 750,434 reserved for issuance as of February 28, 2014.

Individual Limits. During any fiscal year, no employee may be granted options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance units and performance shares covering more than 1,000,000 Common Shares. With respect to a grant of stock options, to the extent the aggregate fair market value of the shares underlying such options are exercisable by the participant for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. No participant may receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $10,000,000. Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will be subject to limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

Each of the above limits is subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capitalization such as stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. If an award expires, terminates, is forfeited or is settled in cash rather than in Common Shares, the Common Shares not issued under that award will again become available for grant under the 2007 Stock Plan. If Common Shares are surrendered to the Company or withheld to pay any exercise price or tax withholding requirements, only the number of Common Shares issued net of the shares withheld or surrendered will be counted against the number of Common Shares available under the 2007 Stock Plan. The exercise price for a stock option or stock appreciation right may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant or may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant for employees representing more than 10% of the voting power of all of the classes of stock of the Company. The Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the plan. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Law.

Subsequently, on May 9, 2008, the Board authorized an additional 800,000 shares for issuance for a total of 1,850,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance as of April 11, 2013. Effective as of February 13, 2014, the Company has determined that no further grants will be made under the 2006 Stock Plan.

The above limit is subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capitalization such as stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. If an award expires, terminates, is forfeited or is settled in cash rather than in Common Shares, the Common Shares not issued under that award will again become available for grant under the 2006 Stock Plan. If Common Shares are surrendered to the Company or withheld to pay any exercise price or tax withholding requirements, only the number of Common Shares issued net of the shares withheld or surrendered will be counted against the number of Common Shares available under the 2006 Stock Plan. In general, the exercise price for any incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. However, for any grant of incentive stock options to a participant who, at the time such option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all of the classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price per share purchasable under such incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share on the date of granted. The Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

The following are transactions entered into in fiscal 2013 and 2012 and any currently proposed transaction, (i) in which the registrant was or is to be a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the registrant’s company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and (iii) in which any director, executive officer, five percent stockholder or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

On August 17, 2009, we entered into a $5 million secured revolving line of credit with Laird Cagan, a former member of the Company’s board of directors and a significant stockholder. The credit facility accrues interest at 10% per annum and was due and payable on July 1, 2011. At December 31, 2010, $4,854,992 in principal, plus accrued interest of $810,728 and extension fee of $278,963 was outstanding under this credit facility. On September 30, 2011, Laird Cagan with co-investors exercised their right to convert $1,452,818 in outstanding interest and fees to stock at a rate of 5 cents per share resulting in the Company issuing 29,056,356 shares of common stock in exchange for the payment. In October 2011, in connection with the extension of the line, the Company implemented a new conversion feature based on the average closing price on the previous twenty-two days of trading on interest and fees. In December 2012 Mr. Cagan provided the Company a Notice of Principal and Interest Conversion under the Credit Agreement, converting certain amounts of the outstanding principal, interest and fees eligible into 9,062,900 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2012, the remaining principal, interest and fees due under the Credit Agreement have a balance of $1,540,074. The Note was converted on April 18, 2013 by issuance of the Company stock and no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2013. See Note 5, Notes Payable, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

On July 6, 2012, Aemetis, Inc. and Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with Third Eye Capital. Third Eye Capital extended credit in the form of (i) senior secured revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of $18,000,000 (“Revolving Credit Facility”); (ii) senior secured term loans in the principal amount of $10,000,000 to convert the Revenue Participation agreement to a Note (“Revenue Participation Term Notes”); and (iii) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 (“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. See Note 5, Notes Payable, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K under the heading “Third Eye Capital” for a further discussion of the various transactions between the Company and Third Eye Capital.

We employ Mr. Adam McAfee as Vice President, Finance at the base salary of $150,000 Mr. Adam McAfee is the brother of Mr. Eric McAfee, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Adam McAfee received compensation, including stock option and warrant grants of $342,794 during fiscal year 2013.

As noted above, the Board of Directors has determined that following directors constituting all members of both committees of the Board of Directors are independent under the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC, as currently in effect: Harold Sorgenti, Francis Barton, John R. Block and Dr. Hutcheson.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Consistent with policies of the SEC regarding auditor independence and the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has the responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the registered independent public accounting firm (the “Firm”). The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Firm. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. In assessing requests for services by the Firm, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the Firm’s independence, whether the Firm is likely to provide the most effective and efficient service based upon their familiarity with the Company, and whether the service could enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.

In fiscal year 2013 and 2012, all fees identified above under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” that were billed by McGladrey LLP were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with SEC requirements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Aemetis, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aemetis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aemetis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
