1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS, FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Methes Energies International Ltd. ("Methes" or the "Company"), was incorporated on June 27, 2007 in the State of Nevada. Methes, through its operations in Canada and the United States, is a biodiesel processing equipment provider and a biodiesel producer. The Company has developed biodiesel processing equipment to produce biodiesel from recycled oils. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Methes Energies Canada Inc. ("Methes Canada"), operates two biodiesel manufacturing facilities; one is located in Mississauga, Ontario with a nameplate production capacity of 1.3 million gallons per year (mgy), and the second facility is capable of producing 13.0 mgy of biodiesel located in Sombra, Ontario. In addition to Methes Canada, Methes Energies USA Ltd. ("Methes USA") was incorporated as the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on June 27, 2007. All references in this Form 10-Q to “Company,” “Methes,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Methes Energies International Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Methes Canada and Methes USA unless the context otherwise indicates. As at May 31, 2014, due in large part to the funds spent to develop, build and commission our Sombra facility as well as minimal sales of biodiesel, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,270,469. During the six months ended May 31, 2014, the Company incurred a loss of $3,048,284 and had negative cash flows from operations of $1,947,750. The Company anticipates that its Sombra facility will generate positive cash flows from operations and will operate profitably once full-scale commercial operations are achieved in the second half of fiscal year 2014. However, in order to meet its development goals and ongoing operational requirements, the Company will require additional financing in the foreseeable future. It is management’s opinion that the anticipated positive cash flows from operations and cash from additional financing completed in May 2014 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year.
