1.         Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Activities. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Aemetis” or the “Company”):
 
Aemetis Americas, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its subsidiary AE Biofuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

Aemetis Advanced Fuels, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
 
Aemetis, Inc. is an international advanced fuels and specialty chemical company focused on the production of renewable fuels and chemicals and the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that are substitutes for traditional petroleum-based products.
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of December 31, 2012 and reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
 
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected.

Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues based upon the gross amounts billed to its customers.
 
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold include those costs directly associated with the production of revenues, such as raw material, factory overhead, and other direct production costs.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless they have alternative future uses to the Company.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions domestically and abroad. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures domestic cash accounts. The Company’s accounts at these institutions may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable. The Company sells ethanol, wet distillers grains, corn syrup and corn oil through third-party marketing arrangements generally without requiring collateral. The Company sells biodiesel, glycerin, and processed natural oils to a variety of customers and may require advanced payment based on the size and creditworthiness of the customer. Accounts receivables consist of product sales made to large creditworthy customers. Trade accounts receivable are presented at original invoice amount, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances that appear to have specific collection issues. The collection process is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. If, after a specified number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, a bad debt allowance is recorded for the balance in question. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once a lack of collectability has been determined. The factors considered in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.
 
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in and first-out (FIFO) method, or market.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation after assets are placed in service and are comprised primarily of buildings, furniture, machinery, equipment, land, and plants in North America and India. It is the Company policy to depreciate capital assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of intellectual property in the form of patents pending, in-process research and development and goodwill. Once the patents pending or in-process R&D have secured a definite life in the form of a patent or product, they will be carried at cost less accumulated amortization over their estimated useful life. Amortization commences upon the commercial application or generation of revenue and is amortized over the shorter of the economic life or patent protection period.
 
Company intangible assets such as goodwill have indefinite lives and as a result need to be evaluated at least annually, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. In the Company’s review, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit using market indicators and discounted cash flow modeling. The Company compares the fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. An impairment loss is recognized when the fair value is less than the related net book value, and an impairment expense is recorded in the amount of the difference. Forecasts of future cash flows are judgments based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the Company’s operations and the industries in which the Company operates. These forecasts could be significantly affected by future changes in market conditions, the economic environment, including inflation, and the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution of common stock equivalents such as options, convertible preferred stock, debt and warrants to the extent the impact is dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computations as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
The following table shows the number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and March 31, 2012:

Comprehensive Income. ASC 220 Comprehensive Income requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income consists solely of cumulative currency translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries. The investment in this subsidiary is considered indefinitely invested overseas, and as a result, deferred income taxes are not recorded related to the currency translation adjustments.
 
Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date; with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other income.
 
Operating Segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Aemetis recognizes three reportable geographic segments: “India”, “North America” and “Other.”
 
The “India” operating segment encompasses the Company’s 50 MGY nameplate capacity biodiesel plant in Kakinada, India, the administrative offices in Hyderabad, India, and the holding companies in Nevada and Mauritius.
The “North America” operating segment includes the Company’s 55 MGY nameplate capacity ethanol plant in Keyes, California and the research facilities in College Park, Maryland.
The “Other” segment encompasses the Company’s costs associated with new market development, company-wide fund raising, formation, executive compensation and other corporate expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, mandatorily redeemable Series B preferred stock, warrant liability and debt. The fair value of current financial instruments was estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The warrant liability fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s debt was valued using inputs from independent consultants evaluating external market inputs and internal financings to determine appropriate discount rates to determine fair value.
 
The carrying amount of debt obligations, excluding discount issuance costs, held by our senior lender and by seller note payable at March 31, 2013 amounting to an aggregate of $62.3 million in outstanding obligations, were determined to have an estimated fair value of approximately $64.7 million, based on interest rates for comparable debt. It was not practicable to determine the fair market value of the Company’s remaining debt obligations due to the lack of availability of comparable credit facilities and the related party nature of the financial arrangements.
 
Share-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes share based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Stock Compensation requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the estimate fair value of the Company’s share-based compensation awards at the time the awards are granted adjusted to reflect only those shares that are expected to vest. To estimate the discount for lack of marketability on restricted stock issued, the Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model, which assists in deriving the implied price of put options using the put-call parity principle. The price of the put option divided by the market price quoted on the OTC markets exchange implies the discount for lack of marketability (DLOM) in valuing issued shares to consultants, debt holders, employees or affiliated investors.
 
Warrant liability: The Company adopted guidance related to distinguishing liabilities from equity for certain warrants which contain a conditional obligation to repurchase feature. During the three months ending March 31, 2013, the Company granted 1,253,101 warrants with a conditional obligation to repurchase feature requiring liability treatment. As a result, a long-term warrant liability was recorded to recognize the fair value of the warrants upon the issuance of each warrant. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model with the assumptions as follows: The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected life of the warrants is based upon the contractual life of the warrants. Volatility is estimated based on an average of the historical volatilities.
 
The Company computes the fair value of the warrant liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded through earnings. The key component in the value of the warrant liability is the Company's stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under the Company's control. The resulting effect on the Company's net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the warrants are exercised, amended or expired. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when the stock price increases and non-cash income when the stock price decreases.
 
Long - Lived Assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC Subtopic 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment –Subsequent Measurements, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, based on estimated undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and its estimated fair value.
 
Commitments and Contingencies. The Company records and/or discloses commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies. ASC 450 applies to an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

Business Combinations. The Company applies 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. The Company will 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 the valuations for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized.
 
Convertible Instruments. The Company evaluates the impacts of convertible instruments based on the underlying conversion features. Convertible instruments are evaluated for treatment as derivatives that could be bifurcated and recorded separately. Any beneficial conversion feature is recorded based on the intrinsic value difference at the commitment date.
 
Modification Accounting. The Company evaluates amendments to its debt in accordance with ASC 540-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishments for modification and extinguishment accounting. This evaluation includes comparing the net present value of cash flows of the new debt to the old debt to determine if changes greater than 10 percent occurred. In instances where the net present value of future cash flows changes more than 10 percent, the Company applies extinguishment accounting and determines the fair value of its debt based on factors available to the Company.
 
Sequencing Policy. In the event partial reclassification of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of maturity dates of potentially dilutive instruments with the latest maturity date receiving first allocation of shares. If a reclassification of an instrument were required, it would result in the earliest maturity instrument being reclassified first.
 
2.         Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses and negative cash flow and currently has a working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on several factors, including the ability to raise a significant amount of capital for operating expenses, capital purchases, current liabilities and debt service. The Company has been reliant on its senior secured lender to provide additional funding requirements when cash flows do not support operating expenses and the payment requirements on the Company’s debt. Although the current agreements in place with this lender do not require any payments or covenant requirements through May 2013, the continuation of the Company depends on management being able to maintain this relationship with the lender or find other financing options to provide cash as the Company expands its technologies. Management’s plans to continue to operate the Company include:
 
Working with the Company’s senior lender to restructure or provide additional financing as well as explore other financing arrangements including working with Advanced BioEnergy LP to attract investors for the remaining $35 million of notes available under the program, or through the issuance of additional debt or equity;
Operating profits from the April 2013 restart of the Keyes ethanol plant;
Restructuring the State Bank of India note payable to allow for additional working capital to take advantage of improved biodiesel margins from reductions in diesel subsidies from the Indian government and higher volumes of international shipments; and
Continuing to receive support from major shareholders and members of board of directors in providing cash financing.

The Company produced negative gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2013, has less than one month of operating cash as of May 2013, has incurred cumulative losses since inception and has negative working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of approximately $82.1 million. The Company has raised approximately $31.8 million to date through the sale of preferred stock and approximately $80 million through debt facilities. The Company will have to raise significantly more capital and debt to complete its business plan and continue as a going concern. The Company has one biodiesel production facility in operation that began selling biodiesel into the domestic Indian market in November 2008 and one ethanol production facility idle for maintenance as of March 31, 2013. On April 22, 2013, the Company restarted its plant in Keyes, California. Recognizing the ethanol and biodiesel plants provide cash flow to the company, until we are able to establish a history of profitability at our plant in Keyes, CA, sufficient doubt exists around our ability to generate the cash flow necessary from operations to allow for the completion of our business plan in fiscal 2013.
 
Management believes that it will be able to raise additional capital through equity offerings and debt financings. The Company’s goal is to raise additional funds needed to operate its next generation ethanol and biodiesel facilities through stock offerings and debt financings. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the classification or carrying values of our assets or liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cilion shareholder Seller note payable. As part of the Cilion merger on July 6, 2012, Aemetis Facility Keyes provided $5 million in Seller note payable to Cilion shareholders as merger compensation subordinated behind the senior secured Third Eye Capital Notes. The liability bears interest at 3% per annum and is due and payable after the Third Eye Capital Notes and Revolving Credit Facilities have been paid in full. As of March 31, 2013, Aemetis Facility Keyes had $4,225,370 in principal and interest outstanding, net of unamortized debt discount of $884,767.
 
State Bank of India secured term loan. On July 17, 2008, Universal Biofuels Private Limited (“UBPL”), the Company’s India operating subsidiary, entered into a six year secured term loan with the State Bank of India in the amount of approximately $6 million. The term loan matures in March 2014 and is secured by UBPL’s assets, consisting of the biodiesel plant and land in Kakinada.
 
In July 2008 the Company drew approximately $4.6 million against the secured term loan. The loan principal amount is repayable in 20 quarterly installments of approximately $270,000, using exchange rates corresponding to the date of payment, with the first installment due in June 2009 and the last installment payment due in March 2014. As of March 31, 2013, the 12% interest rate under this facility is subject to adjustment every two years, based on 0.25% above the Reserve Bank of India advance rate.
 
The principal payments scheduled for June 2009 through March 2013 were not made. The term loan provides for liquidating damages at a rate of 2% per annum for the period of default.
 
On October 7, 2009, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India. The notice informs UBPL that an event of default has occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan due in June 2009 and demands repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 Crores (approximately $3.6 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses by October 10, 2009. As of March 31, 2013, UBPL was in default on interest and principal repayments, and all covenants, including asset coverage and debt service coverage ratios. Additional provisions of default include the bank having the unqualified right to disclose or publish the Company’s name and its director’s names as defaulter in any medium or media. At the bank’s option, it may also demand payment of the balance of the loan since the principal payments have been in default since June 2009. As a result the Company has classified the entire loan amount as current. State Bank of India has filed a legal case before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Hyderabad, for recovery of approximately $5 million against the company and also impleaded Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to expedite the process of registration of Factory land for which counter reply is yet to be filed by APIIC. In the case that the Company is unable to prevail with its legal case, DRT may pass a Decree for recovery of due amount, which will impact operations of the Company including action up to seizing company property for recovery of their dues. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the State Bank of India loan had $3,610,279 in principal outstanding and accrued interest plus default interest of $2,414,218 and $2,188,693 and unamortized issuance discount of $2,482 and $4,966, respectively.
 
Revolving line of credit (related party). The Company has a subordinated Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“RLOC”) with Laird Cagan and other related party investors for $5 million. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the RLOC had a principal, interest and fees balance of $1,550,478 and $1,540,074. The Revolving Line of Credit bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matures on July 1, 2014.
 
On April 18, 2013, the Company issued 1,826,547 shares of common stock as payment for $991,946 of interest and fees outstanding under the Credit Agreement, return of an existing deposit held by Aemetis Advanced Fuels, Keyes, Inc in the amount of $170,000 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.

Neither AAFK nor Aemetis may make any principal payments under the Subordinated Notes until all loans made by Third Eye Capital to AAFK are paid in full, except for a few exceptions where subordinated note investors will receive funds from EB-5 investments or sale of equipment.
 
On May 31, 2012, Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. (AAFK) entered into an additional $110,000 in 5 percent annual interest rate Notes and Warrant Purchase Agreements with a related party, Laird Cagan.

10.       Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company complies with the fair value measurements and disclosures standard which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for those assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet on a fair value basis.
 
The Company's balance sheet contains derivative financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements and disclosures require that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed according to the process for determining fair value. There are three levels of determining fair value.
 
Level 1 uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 uses observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3 uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
 
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
 
Warrant liability: The warrant liability consists of stock warrants issued by the Company that contain conditional obligation to repurchase feature. In accordance with accounting for warrants as liabilities, the Company calculated the fair value of warrants under Level 3 using the assumptions described in “Fair Value of Warrants”. Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability are included in Other income on the Statement of Operations.
 
The following table summarizes financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Overview
 
We are an international advanced fuels and specialty chemical company focused on the production of renewable fuels and chemicals and the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that are substitutes for traditional petroleum-based products and non-food feedstock conversion of traditional ethanol and biodiesel plants using our operating ethanol and biodiesel facilities. We own and operate a manufacturing and refining facility in Kakinada, India where we manufacture and produce fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel), crude and refined glycerin and refined palm oil. We also operate a plant in Keyes, California where we manufacture and produce ethanol and wet distillers’ grain (WDG). On July 6, 2012, we acquired Cilion, Inc., the owner of the Keyes plant. In addition, we are continuing to research the viability of commercializing our microbial technology, which would enable us to produce renewable industrial biofuels and biochemicals and our integrated starch-cellulose technology, which would enable us to produce ethanol from non-food feedstock.

North America. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated 73% of revenue from sales of ethanol, 23% from sales of WDG, 2% from sales of corn oil and 2% from the sale of syrup. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 plant production averaged 17% of nameplate capacity. The decrease in revenues between the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 reflects the idling of the Keyes, CA plant on January 21, 2013 for maintenance due to unfavorable margins compared to a full quarter of operations during the quarter ended March 31 2012.
 
 
India. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of biodiesel as a result of the development of a sales channel for biodiesel into the chemical markets, increased sales of refined glycerin as a result of the completion of our glycerin refining unit and a single large volume sale of biodiesel, and increased sales of refined palm oil from the operation of the oil refining unit. Revenues included $5.3 million from sales of methyl ester/biodiesel, $0.9 million from sales of refined glycerin, $3.4 million from sales of refined palm oil. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had revenues of $1.8 million from the trade of crude palm oil.

North America. We ground 133,171 tons of corn during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 17,775 tons of corn during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our cost of corn per ton increased by 9.3% between the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The decrease in costs of goods sold between the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 reflects the idling of the Keyes, CA plant on January 15, 2013 compared to a full quarter of operations during the quarter ended March 31 2012.
 
India. The increase in costs of goods sold was attributable to an increase in revenues from the sales of biodiesel and glycerin. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we processed 9,800 and 654 metric tons of biodiesel, respectively. We produced 3,753 metric tons of refined palm oil (RPO) during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and had no production of RPO in the same period in 2012.

The increase in R&D expenses in our North America segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 reflects initial amortization of patents of approximately $124,000, which includes previously unrecorded amortization from 2011 and 2012, offset partially by decreased levels of investment in headcount and equipment to develop the proprietary microbial technology.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for employees, marketing expenses related to sales of ethanol and WDG in North America and biodiesel and other products in India, as well as professional fees, other corporate expenses, and related facilities expenses.
 
North America. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to reclassifying fixed costs from Cost of Goods Sold during the idle period of the Keyes ethanol plant offset partially by lower marketing fees of approximately $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to approximately $542,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
India. Our single largest expense in SG&A comes from operational support fees paid to Secunderabad Oils Limited. These fees are computed as a percentage of operating profits. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred approximately $169,000 and $13,000, respectively in operational support fees. The three month period ending March 31, 2012 had a large payment from Secunderabad Oils Limited as part of the loss sharing arrangement causing the remaining portion of the year-over year increase.
 
Other Income/Expense
 
Other income (expense) consisted primarily of the following items:
 
 
Interest expense attributable to debt facilities acquired by our parent company, our subsidiaries Universal Biofuels Pvt. Ltd., International Biofuels, Inc., AE Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. and interest accrued on the judgment obtained by Cordillera Fund, L.P. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The payment of fees is amortized as interest expense. We incurred interest expense of approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 ($0.4 million from India and $4.7 million from North America) compared to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 ($0.8 million from India and $3.2 million from North America).  Additionally, renegotiation of terms on certain subordinated notes resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1 million. Amortization of Third Eye Capital, acting as Agent for the Purchasers,  discount issuances costs for the Cilion merger, Amendment No. 1 and No. 2 fees and stock issuances and warrants issued as extensions fees on subordinated debt resulted in higher interest expense in the quarter ending March 31, 2013 than the same period in the prior year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $51,651 at March 31, 2013, of which $1,967 was held in our North American entities and $49,654 was held in our Indian subsidiary. Our current ratio at March 31, 2013 was 0.06 compared to a current ratio of 0.12 at December 31, 2012. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of our remaining cash balances, amounts available for borrowing, if any, under our senior debt facilities and our subordinated debt facilities, cash generated from operations, and any additional funds raised through sales of equity.

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

    87,923,518       57,835,203  
Short and long term debt
    76,807,403       70,045,595  
 
The Company has experienced losses and continued to have negative cash flow through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 and, as of March 31, 2013, has negative working capital of $82,122,904. We are actively pursuing additional working capital through both debt and equity offerings in order to have funds to execute on our business strategy in India and in the United States. Funds available at March 31, 2013 are sufficient to cover less than one month of our domestic and international operating costs.
 
 
The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order for us to continue as a going concern, we require a significant amount of additional working capital to fund our ongoing operating expenses and future capital requirements. The use of additional working capital is primarily for the purchase of feedstock and other raw materials to restart of our California plant, the conversion the California plant to the next generation of feedstock, the operation of our biodiesel plant in India, general and administrative expenses, and debt interest and principal payments. 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.
 
With regards to our senior secured notes held by Third Eye Capital on April 15, 2013, we entered into the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 3 to waive the following covenants of the Borrower in their entirety:(i) Borrowers’ obligation to obtain an NASDAQ listing by April 1, 2013; (ii) Borrower’s obligation to cause the Chairman to enter into certain agreements; and (iii) the Company’s obligation to deliver an auditor opinion as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012 without a going concern qualification. In addition, the Administrative Agent agreed to (i) extend the completion date of the conversion of the Keyes Plant to accommodate an 80:20 corn-to-milo ratio to May 31, 2013, (ii) amend the redemption provision to require 50% of the net proceeds of any equity offering in excess of $1.5 million to repay Amendment No.2 advance and 100% of the net proceeds of any equity offering in excess of $7.0 million to repay Amendment No. 3,and (iii) increase the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount equal to the February 2013 $3.1 million advance and the $1.5 million waiver fee. In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment, the Company agreed to: (i) pay a waiver fee comprised of $500,000 (which is added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Notes) and (ii) require McAfee Capital, LLC to pledge an additional 6,231,159 Common Shares of the Parent to Agent, together with the delivery of stock certificates for such shares and stock powers. The $3.1 million advance, together with all accumulated interest, shall be repaid in full no later than September 30, 2013.
 
On April 19, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 4 providing additional borrowings of $2,000,000 with the same terms as the existing Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary closing conditions. In consideration for Amendment No. 4, the Company agreed to (i) pay the Lender a placement fee of $300,000 and (ii) issue the Lender 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Aemetis, Inc. Amendment No. 4 is secured by a blanket lien on the assets of Eric A. McAfee, the Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board.
 
At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of principal, interest and fees, net of discounts, on all Third Eye Capital financing arrangements equaled $58,063,923. We plan to pay the notes through operational cash flow, a debt refinancing or equity funding.
 
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain alternative funding in the event this debt obligation is accelerated. Immediate acceleration would have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s near term liquidity. 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.
 
On October 7, 2009, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India. The notice informs UBPL that an event of default has occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan due in June, 2009 and demands repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 crores (approximately $4 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses by October 10, 2009. As of December 31, 2012, Additional provisions of default include the bank having the unqualified right to disclose or publish our company name and our director’s names as defaulter in any medium or media. At the bank’s option, it may also demand payment of the balance of the loan since the principal payments are in default in June 2009. As a result we have classified the entire loan amount as current. We are currently in discussions with the bank with regards to an amendment to the Agreement of Loan for Overall Limit for the modification of terms and plant to pay the principal and interest on the loan through either cash flow from our biodiesel plant operations or through a debt or equity raise at the parent Company level.
 
 
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 continue to deploy our management team’s combined industry, technical, merger and acquisition (“M&A”), restructuring and corporate finance expertise to target and acquire undervalued and/or distressed assets, and then apply our technology to improve the performance of those assets. We believe that our strategy offers substantial opportunity to build capital value in the current climate, particularly given (a) the present opportunity to acquire undervalued and/or underperforming assets and improve them; and (b) the medium to longer term outlook for ethanol and advanced biofuels as an alternative form of energy supply and the relatively weak state of the ethanol and advanced biofuels market which is likely to lead to under supply in 2013. To affect the planned M&A strategy in full, the Company requires access to substantial further acquisition and development finance and it is currently working with advisers with a view to securing additional financing. This may be made available through industry and/or financial partnerships and joint ventures, special purpose financing vehicles, structured acquisition finance arrangements, private placements of equity, debt and blended debt and equity instruments. In addition, the Company anticipates that it may issue share and/or loan capital to vendors as a means of securing target acquisitions and to fund development.
 
We intend to raise additional working capital in 2013 through some or all of the following: operating cash flows, working capital lines of credit, long-term debt facilities, joint venture arrangements and the sale of additional equity by the Company or its subsidiaries. We continue to explore different funding sources, but because of the continued unsettled state of the capital markets around the globe, the Company lacks any defined capital raising projects or specific sources of capital or commitments for the required capital. To a significant degree, our business success will depend on the state of the capital markets, and investors in our securities should take into account the macro-economic impact of the availability of credit and capital funding when assessing the business development plans of the Company.
 
Change in Working Capital and Cash Flows
 
Current and long term debt increased primarily due to (i) accrued fees and interest in the amount of $2.4 million associated with amendments to the agreements with our senior lender, (ii) additional borrowings of $3.1 million received from our senior lender and (iii) additional borrowings of $0.4 million from subordinated lenders.  Additionally, current liabilities were impacted by movement of the senior secured Third Eye Capital notes from long term to short term due to current violations of  notes covenants.  The increase in current liabilities was offset by a $2.6 million reduction in accounts payable, principally due to the idling of the Keyes plant.   Current assets decreased due to decreases in accounts receivable by $0.7 million, inventory by $0.1 million, prepaid by $0.2 million from lower gas and electric deposits, cash by $0.2 million and other current assets by $0.2 million.
 
Cash used in operating activities of $4.0 million resulted primarily from (i) consolidated net loss of $9.8 million, (ii) non-cash adjustments to net loss of $5.1 million, (iii) accounts receivable increase of $0.7 million, (iv) accounts payable decrease of $2.4 million, (v) accrued interest expense increase of $2.4 million, and (vi) other liabilities increase of $0.4 million.
 
Cash used in investing activities was insignificant.
 
Cash provided by financing activities of $3.1 million resulted primarily from Third Eye Capital.
 
 
Available Credit Facilities
 
On July 6, 2012, we entered into a new revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $18.0 million. The credit facility expires on July 5, 2013, provided, however, that the facility may be extended for up to two additional periods of one year upon certain conditions, including the payment of a renewal fee. Interest accrues at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate and the amount outstanding. We are also required to pay customary fees and expenses associated with the credit facility.
 
We are required to (i) maintain a minimum amount of Free Cash Flow of not less than $1.5 million at the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) debt to value ratio of 75% tested semi-annually, (iii) minimum quarterly ethanol production of not less than 14 million gallons per quarter, and (iv) limit purchases of capital expenditures to not more than $50,000 per quarter. In addition, we are prohibited from incurring any additional indebtedness (other than specific intercompany indebtedness or specific subordinated indebtedness) absent the lender’s prior consent. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of its assets in favor of the lender.
 
On October 18, 2012, Third Eye Capital agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of the Existing Notes to July 6, 2014; (ii) to increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Facility by $6,000,000, to a total of $24,000,000; (iii) to modify the redemption waterfall so that any payments would be applied first to the increase in the Revolving notes; (iv) granted waivers to the Borrowers’ obligation to pay or comply, and any event of default which has occurred or may occur as a result of such failures of the Borrowers to pay or comply with certain financial covenants and principal payments, including financial covenants for the quarter ended September 30 and December 31, 2012; and (v) agreed to accrue interest until the earlier of certain events described in the Limited Waiver or February 1, 2013. In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment, the Borrowers, among other things, agreed to pay the Lenders a waiver fee in the amount of $4,000,000; and (ii) cash in the amount of $28,377 for certain unreimbursed costs.
 
On February 27, 2013, Third Eye Capital agreed to the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 2 to (i) provide a Notional Paydown by pledging addition collateral on the Revolving Portion of the Revolving Notes in the amount of $3,100,000, such Notional Paydown was replaced in the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 3 with an increase in the Revolver Note and the collateral substitution of a pledge of 6,231,159 shares of stock held by McAfee Capital LLC (ii) grant waivers to the Borrowers’ obligation to pay or comply, including financial and production covenants for the quarter ended March 31 and June 30, 2013; (iii) extend the date of the next interest payment until the earlier of certain events described in the Limited Waiver or May 1, 2013, and (iv) allow the Borrowers to pay the Partial Amendment Fee of $1,000,000 due January 1, 2013 in shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration for the amendment, the Company agreed to: (i) pay a waiver fee comprised of $1,500,000 added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility Notes and (ii) issue to 750,000 common shares of the Company. In addition, the interest rate on all outstanding indebtedness with Third Eye Capital increases 5% until certain conditions are met.
 
On April 15, 2013, Third Eye Capital agreed to the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 3 to waive the following covenants of the Borrower in their entirety:(i) Borrowers’ obligation to obtain an NASDAQ listing by April 1, 2013; (ii) Borrower’s obligation to cause the Chairman to enter into certain agreements; and (iii) the Company’s obligation to deliver an auditor opinion as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012 without a going concern qualification. In addition, the Administrative Agent agreed to (i) extend the completion date of the conversion of the Keyes Plant to accommodate an 80:20 corn-to-milo ratio to May 31, 2013, (ii) amend the redemption provision to require 50% of the net proceeds of any equity offering in excess of $1.5 million to repay Amendment No.2 advance and in the event of an equity offering of Capital Stock of at least $7,000,000 repay Amendment No. 3, and (iii) increase the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount equal to the February 2013 $3.1 million advance and the $1.5 million waiver fee. In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment, the Company agreed to: (i) pay a waiver fee comprised of $500,000 (which is added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Notes) and (ii) require McAfee Capital, LLC to pledge an additional 6,231,159 Common Shares of the Parent to Agent, together with the delivery of stock certificates for such shares and stock powers. The $3.1 million advance, together with all accumulated interest, shall be repaid in full no later than September 30, 2013.
 
 
On April 15, 2013, Third Eye Capital also arranged a the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 4 providing additional borrowings of $2,000,000 with the same terms as the existing Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary closing conditions. In consideration for the Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 4, the Company agreed to (i) pay the Lender a placement fee of $300,000 and (ii) issue the Lender 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Aemetis, Inc. The Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 4 is secured by a blanket lien on the assets of Eric A. McAfee, the Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board.

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

Notes Payable to Related Parties
 
In 2008, we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Laird Cagan in the amount of $5,000,000 secured by certain investments, intellectual property, securities and other collateral of ours, excluding the collateral securing our obligations with Third Eye Capital and the collateral securing our obligations with the State Bank of India. The Revolving Line of Credit bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matures on July 1, 2014. On December 31, 2012, Aemetis International, Inc. (AII), a subsidiary of Aemetis, Inc., entered into an agreement to the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Laird Q. Cagan and co-owners in the financing arrangement pursuant to which Aemetis, Inc. issued an aggregate of 9,062,900 shares of common stock in partial payment for principal, interest and fees outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Amounts available to borrow under this facility are dependent on the capacity and approval of Laird Q. Cagan and his co-owners. As of March 31, 2013, the remaining balance under the Credit Agreement was $1,550,478. No credit line availability remains at the end of the March 31, 2013 quarter.

On January 14, 2013, Laird Cagan loaned $106,201 through a Promissory note maturing on April 30, 2013 with a 5% annualized interest rate and the right to exercise 53,101 warrants exercisable at $0.001 per share.

Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes
 
On March 4, 2011, and amended January 19, 2012, and July 24, 2012, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Advanced BioEnergy, LP, a California limited Partnership for the issuance of up to 72 subordinated convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 3%, each note in the principal amount of $500,000 due and payable four years from the date of the note for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36,000,000.
 
Advanced BioEnergy, LP arranges investments with foreign investors, who each make investments in the Keyes plant project in investment increments of $500,000. The Company sold notes in the amount of $1,000,000 to the first two investors. The availability of the remaining $35,000,000 will be determined by the ability of Advanced BioEnergy, LP to attract additional qualified investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each period. We believe that of our most significant accounting policies, the following represents our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain: revenue recognition; recoverability of long-lived assets, convertible notes, and extinguishment accounting. These significant accounting principles are more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
Management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a lack of adequate resources with sufficient GAAP knowledge, experience, and training.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Discussed below are changes made to our internal control over financial reporting since our last filing through March 31, 2013, 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. During the second quarter of 2013 we began to implement remedial measures to address the identified material weaknesses as discussed below, the remedial measures will take time, and as such, our assessment of the impact of these measures have not been completed as of the filing date of this report.
 
 
As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have, among other things:
 
based on our review of our accounting and control organization personnel, we are currently searching for appropriately qualified accounting personnel to fill two key positions;
 
retained a qualified consultant during the first quarter of 2013 to help management prepare and review complex equity transactions, a risk identified area within our statements
 
increasing our efforts to educate and supervise our existing staff on the application and importance of the internal control structure,
 
We believe that the foregoing actions have improved and, as we progress towards a completion of the remediation steps, 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 complete the remedial measures and overcome or mitigate these material weaknesses.
