Founded in 2006, we own and operate a 60 million gallon per year ethanol production facility (Keyes plant) in California’s Central Valley where we manufacture and produce ethanol, Wet Distiller’s Grain (WDG), Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS) and distillers’ corn oil and a 50 million gallon per year renewable chemical and advanced fuel production facility on the East Coast of India (Kakinada plant), where we manufacture and produce high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin. In addition, we are continuing to operate a research and development laboratory at the Maryland Biotech Center and hold a portfolio of patents and related technology licenses for the production of renewable fuels and biochemicals.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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.

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of December 31, 2015 and reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected.

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

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

Accounts Receivable. The Company sells ethanol, WDG, 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 receivable consists 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 uncollectibility has been determined. The factors considered in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate additional allowances may be required. There is no balance for allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Inventories . Ethanol inventory, raw materials, and work-in-process are valued using methods which approximate the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value (NRV). Distillers’ grains and related products are stated at NRV. In the valuation of inventories, NRV is determined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.

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

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the dilution of common stock equivalents such as options, convertible preferred stock, debt and warrants to the extent the impact is dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 income (loss) per share calculation as of June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	As of
	June 30, 2016		June 30, 2015

Series B preferred (1:10 post split basis)		133		146
Common stock options and warrants		1,953		1,352
Debt with conversion feature at $30 per share of common stock		806		717
Total number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation		2,892		2,215

Comprehensive Loss. 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 (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of cumulative currency translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary. The investment in this subsidiary is considered indefinitely invested overseas, and as a result, deferred income taxes are not recorded related to the currency translation adjustments.

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

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

AEMETIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The “North America” operating segment includes the Company’s 60 million gallons per year capacity Keyes plant in Keyes, California and its research facilities in College Park, Maryland.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. These financial instruments are considered Level 2 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. Due to the unique terms of our notes payable and lines of credit and the financial condition of the Company, the fair value of the debt is not readily determinable upon application of extinguishment accounting to our debt instruments. We use outside valuation experts to estimate the applicable discount rate using similar instruments.

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

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

Debt Modification Accounting . The Company evaluates amendments to its debt in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishments for modification and extinguishment accounting. This evaluation includes comparing the net present value of cash flows of the new debt to the old debt to determine if changes greater than 10 percent occurred. In instances where the net present value of future cash flows changed more than 10 percent, the Company applies extinguishment accounting and determines the fair value of its debt based on factors available to the Company.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements .

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that Topic 606 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

The Third Eye Capital Notes have a maturity date of April 1, 2017, extendable by the Company to April 2018 upon payment of a fee equal to 5% of the carrying value of the debt.

EB-5 long-term promissory notes . EB-5 is a U.S. government program authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act designed to foster employment-based visa preference for immigrant investors to encourage the flow of capital into the U.S. economy and to promote employment of U.S. workers. 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 authorized as a Regional Center to receive EB-5 investments, for the issuance of up to 72 subordinated convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 3%, each note in the principal amount of $0.5 million and due and payable four years from the date of the note, for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36.0 million. The notes are convertible after three years at a conversion price of $30.00 per share.

Unsecured working capital loans . In November 2008, the Company entered into an operating agreement with Secunderabad Oils Limited (“Secunderabad Oils”).

Working capital advances bear interest at the actual bank borrowing rate of Secunderabad Oils of fifteen percent (15%). In return, the Company agreed to pay Secunderabad Oils an amount equal to 30% of the plant’s monthly net operating profit. In the event that the Company’s biodiesel facility operates at a loss, Secunderabad Oils owes the Company 30% of the losses. The agreement can be terminated by either party at any time without penalty. On January 1, 2016, Secunderabad Oils suspended the agreement to use any funds provided under the agreement to buy feedstock until commodity prices returned to economically viable levels.

Aemetis authorized the issuance of 1.9 million shares of common stock under its Zymetis 2006 Stock Plan and Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Plan (together, the “Company Stock Plans”), which include both incentive and non-statutory stock options. These options generally expire five to ten years from the date of grant with a general vesting term of 1/12 th every three months and are exercisable at any time after vesting subject to continuation of employment.

Non-Plan Stock Options

In November 2012, the Company issued 98 thousand stock options to board members and consultants outside of any Company stock option plan. As of June 30, 2016, all options are vested and 89 thousand options are outstanding.

Inducement Equity Plan Options

In March 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an Inducement Equity Plan authorizing the issuance of 100 thousand non-statutory stock options to purchase common stock. As of June 30, 2016, 25 thousand options were outstanding.

The following is a summary of options granted under all stock plans:

Stock-based compensation for employees

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $284 thousand and $163 thousand, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $401 thousand and $533 thousand, respectively.

Valuation and Expense Information

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

6. Agreements

Working Capital Arrangement. Pursuant to a Corn Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell, we agreed to procure whole yellow corn and grain sorghum primarily from J.D. Heiskell. The Company has the ability to obtain grain from other sources subject to certain conditions, however, in the past all of our grain purchases have been from J.D. Heiskell. Title and risk of loss of the corn pass to the Company when the corn is deposited into the weigh bin. The term of the Agreement expires on December 31, 2016 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms. J.D. Heiskell further agrees to sell all ethanol to Kinergy Marketing or other marketing purchasers designated by the Company and all WDG and corn oil to A.L. Gilbert. Our relationships with J.D. Heiskell, Kinergy Marketing, and A.L. Gilbert are well established and the Company believes that the relationships are beneficial to all parties involved in utilizing the distribution logistics, reaching out to widespread customer base, managing inventory, and building working capital relationships. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of ethanol to J. D. Heiskell as revenue recognition criteria have been met and any performance required of the Company subsequent to the sale to J.D. Heiskell is inconsequential. These agreements are ordinary purchase and sale agency agreements for the Keyes plant.

The J.D. Heiskell sales activity associated with the Purchasing Agreement, Corn Procurement and Working Capital Agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

Aemetis recognizes two reportable geographic segments: “North America” and “India.” The “North America” operating segment includes the Company’s owned ethanol plant in Keyes, California and its technology lab in College Park, Maryland. As the Company’s technology gains market acceptance, this business segment will include its domestic commercial application of cellulosic ethanol technology, its plant construction projects and any acquisitions of ethanol or ethanol related technology facilities in North America.

The “India” operating segment includes the Company’s 50 million gallon per year nameplate capacity biodiesel manufacturing plant in Kakinada, the administrative offices in Hyderabad, India, and the holding companies in Nevada and Mauritius. The Company’s biodiesel is marketed and sold primarily to customers in India through brokers and by the Company directly.

10. Management’s Plan

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

·	Operating the Keyes plant;

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

·	Obtaining $12.5 million of EB-5 funding at 3% interest rate;

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

·	Restructuring or refinancing the State Bank of India note to allow for additional working capital and reduce current financing costs;

·	Securing higher volumes of shipments from the Kakinada, India biodiesel and refined glycerin facility; and

·	Offering our common stock by the ATM Registration Statement.

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

Overview

We are 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. Founded in 2006, we own and operate a 60 million gallon per year ethanol production facility (Keyes plant), in California’s Central Valley where we manufacture and produce ethanol, Wet Distiller’s Grain (WDG), Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS) and distillers’ corn oil and a 50 million gallon per year renewable chemical and advanced fuel production facility on the East Coast of India (Kakinada plant), where we manufacture and produce high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin. In addition, we are continuing to operate a research and development laboratory at the Maryland Biotech Center, and hold a portfolio of patents and related technology licenses for the production of renewable fuels and biochemicals.

We continue to evaluate the acquisition of businesses and the licensing of technologies that expand the transition of traditional biofuels plants to the production of valuable advanced biofuels. During the second quarter, we announced the entry into an agreement to acquire EdenIQ, Inc., a cellulosic ethanol technology company. Once integrated, Edeniq’s technologies will extend our ethanol capabilities into cellulosic ethanol by providing capital light and operationally efficient solutions that can be easily integrated into existing corn ethanol plants. Using our position as a producer of ethanol and biodiesel, we are also focused on the licensing of technology and the development of capabilities that allow for the production of advanced biofuels at our own facilities.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Revenues

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

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, plant production averaged 98% of the 55 million gallon per year nameplate capacity. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015 was due to ethanol sales volumes decreasing by 5% to 13.4 million gallons while average ethanol prices increased by only 3% to $1.83 per gallon. The average price of WDG also decreased by 12% to $72 per ton while the WDG sales volume decreased 1% to 92 thousand tons during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

India. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated 77% of our sales from biodiesel and 23% of our sales from refined glycerin compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, when we generated 73% of our sales from biodiesel and 27% of our sales from refined glycerin. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2016 was due to the Kakinada plant shutdown for maintenance in the month of May 2016, which caused a decrease in biodiesel sales volume of 67% to 1,165 metric tons, while the average price decreased by 16% to $672 per metric ton. Similarly, the sales volume of refined glycerin decreased by 76% to 383 metric tons while the average price of glycerin decreased by 6% to $621 per metric ton.

North America. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2016 was consistent at 8% as compared to the corresponding period of 2015. SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by 8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was due to a decrease in salaries and stock based compensation of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016.

India . SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 21% as compared to 6% in the corresponding period of 2015 due to a decrease in sales and reclassification of certain cost of goods sold costs to SG&A as the Kakinada plant was shut down for maintenance in the month of May 2016. The 11% decrease in SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was due to a decrease in marketing expenses of $44 thousand, and professional fees, supplies, and travel expenses of $61 thousand, offset by increase in salaries of $74 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Other (Income)/Expense. Other (income) expense consisted primarily of interest, amortization and extinguishment expense attributable to debt facilities and interest accrued on the judgments obtained by Cordillera Fund. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The fair value of stock and warrants are amortized as amortization expense, except when the extinguishment accounting method is applied, in which case refinanced debt costs are recorded as extinguishment expense and the difference in fair value is amortized. In addition, other (income)/expense consist of scrap sales from UBPL and gain or loss on sale of equipment in the North America entities.

North America . Interest expense was slightly higher in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 due to higher outstanding debt balances. The decrease in amortization expense is due to debt issuance costs present during the prior period becoming amortized as of June 30, 2016. The increase in other income in the three months ended June 30, 2016 was due to receipt of $0.5 million in mandated gas credit from PG&E.

India . Interest expense was lower compared with the prior period as a result of pay down of principal and interest on the State Bank of India loan. The increase in other income was caused primarily by an increase in foreign exchange gains and scrap sales.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Total	$	66,385	$	72,793	$	(6,408	)		-9	%

North America. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we generated 76% of our revenue from sales of ethanol, 21% from sales of WDG, and 3% from sales of corn oil and CDS. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, plant production averaged 95% of the 55 million gallon per year nameplate capacity. The decrease in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to a decrease in ethanol sales volume of 8% to 26.3 million gallons, offset by a 1% increase in the average ethanol price to $1.74. In addition, the average price of WDG decreased by 17% to $71 per ton while WDG sales volume decreased by 4% to 180 thousand tons in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

India. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we generated 84% of our sales from biodiesel and 16% of our sales from refined glycerin compared to 67% of our sales from biodiesel and 33% of our sales from refined glycerin during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due to an 81% increase in biodiesel sales volume to 7,915 metric tons, partially offset by a 21% decrease in the average price of biodiesel to $664 per metric ton. Sales volume of refined glycerin decreased by 33% to 1,791 metric tons while the average price of glycerin decreased by 13% to $579 per metric ton in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

North America . SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were consistent at 9% as compared to the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and stock compensation expense of $0.3 million and in professional fees of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

India . SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 12% as compared to 9% in the corresponding period of 2015. The increase was partially due to the reclassification of salaries of $123 thousand from cost of goods sold to SG&A in the three months ended June 30, 2016 as utilization of capacity was lower in the period. In addition, the increase was partially attributable to increases in operational support charges and supplies of $206 thousand, partially offset by decreases in travel expenses, professional fees, and miscellaneous expenses by $61 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Other (Income)/Expense. Other (income) expense consisted primarily of interest, amortization and extinguishment expense attributable to debt facilities and interest accrued on the judgments obtained by Cordillera Fund. The debt facilities include stock or warrants issued as fees. The fair value of stock and warrants are amortized as amortization expense, except when the extinguishment accounting method is applied, in which case refinanced debt costs are recorded as extinguishment expense and the difference in fair value is amortized. In addition, the other (income)/expense consist of scrap sales from UBPL and gain or loss on sale of equipment in the North America entities.

North America . Interest expense was higher in the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to an increase in principal and interest on the Third Eye Capital Notes and Subordinated Notes. The decrease in amortization expense was due to debt issuance costs present during the prior period becoming fully amortized in the six months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by the addition of maturity date extension fees on senior debt during the last six months of 2015. Debt extinguishment costs were higher in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the refinancing of three Subordinated Notes with two accredited investors being accounted for under extinguishment accounting in the 2015 period compared to the refinancing of two Subordinated Notes with two accredited investors being accounted for under modification accounting in the 2016 period. The increase in other income in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due to receipt of $0.5 million from a mandated gas credit from PG&E.

India . Interest expense decreased as a result of a decrease in the outstanding balance on the State Bank of India loan. The slight increase in other income was caused primarily by other scrap sales in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $0.6 million at June 30, 2016, of which $0.4 million was held in our North American entities and $0.2 million was held in our Indian subsidiary. Our current ratio at June 30, 2016 was 0.25 compared to a current ratio of 0.27 at December 31, 2015. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of cash generated from operations, remaining cash balances, EB-5 program borrowings, amounts available for borrowing, if any, under our senior debt facilities and our subordinated debt facilities, and any additional funds raised through sales of equity.

Liquidity

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

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Cash and cash equivalents	$	591	$	283
Current assets (including cash, cash equivalents, and deposits)		7,509		8,002
Current and long term liabilities (excluding all debt)		15,089		17,540
Current & long term debt		110,135		100,895

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations and borrowings under various debt arrangements. As of June 30, 2016, funding from the EB-5 program was not released to Aemetis’s subsidiary, AE Advanced Fuels, Inc.; the EB-5 escrow account is holding funds from 25 investors pending approval by the USCIS. These funds represent $12.5 million of funding that is expected to be released from the escrow account in the third quarter of 2016 to early 2017. Our principal uses of cash have been to service indebtedness and capital expenditures. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our principal uses of cash in the future. Global financial and credit markets have been volatile in recent years, and future adverse conditions of these markets could negatively affect our ability to secure funds or raise capital at a reasonable cost or at all. For additional discussion of our various debt arrangements see Note 4. Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

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

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

At June 30, 2016, the outstanding balance of principal, interest and fees, net of discounts, on all Third Eye Capital Notes equaled $67.3 million. The current maturity date for all of the Third Eye Capital financing arrangements is April 1, 2017; provided, however, that pursuant to Amendment No. 12, dated March 21, 2016, we have the right to extend the maturity date of the Third Eye Capital Notes to April 1, 2018 upon notice and payment of a 5% extension fee. We intend to pay the Third Eye Capital Notes through operational cash flow, EB-5 subordinated debt, a senior debt refinancing and/or equity financing.

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 4. Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. However, there can be no assurance that our senior lender will continue to provide further amendments or accommodations or will fund additional amounts in the future.

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

Change in Working Capital and Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, current and long term debt increased $9.2 million, primarily due to (i) accrued interest of $5.3 million, (ii) $1.5 million waiver fee, (iii) $3.1 million maturity date extension fee, (iv) $0.3 million drawn on the promissory note from our senior lender for operations, (v) $1.2 million drawn on the promissory note from our senior lender for State Bank of India repayment, (vi) $0.3 million in subordinated debt extension fees, and (vii) $2.9 million drawn from the Secunderabad Oils working capital loan. The increase in current and long term debt was partially offset by decreases due to: (i) $0.7 million of principal and interest payments to our senior lender, (ii) $2.1 million of principal and interest payments to the State Bank of India loan and Secunderabad Oils working capital loan in India, and (iii) $2.8 million in discount issuance costs to be amortized. Working capital changes resulted in (i) $0.3 million increase in cash and (ii) $1.5 million increase in other assets, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in inventories and $0.5 million decrease in accounts receivable.

Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.9 million, consisting of non-cash charges of $5.7 million, net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.5 million, and net loss of $10.1 million. The non-cash charges consisted of: (i) $2.9 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and patents, (ii) $2.4 million in depreciation expenses and (iii) $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expense. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of an increase in other assets of $1.6 million, increase in prepaid expenses of $0.1 million and decrease in accounts payable of $3.1 million, partially offset by: (i) a $1.7 million decrease in inventories, (ii) a $0.8 million increase in other liabilities, (iii) a $0.5 million decrease in accounts receivable and (iv) a $5.2 million increase in accrued interest.

Cash used by investing activities consist of capital expenditures of $0.4 million mostly from our UBPL operations.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million, primarily from proceeds from borrowings of $4.0 million, partially offset by payments in principal on long-term term loans of $2.3 million.

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, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

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

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On March 10, 2011, UBPL, our India operating subsidiary, received a demand notice from the State Bank of India under the Agreement of Loan for Overall Limit dated as of June 26, 2008. The notice informed UBPL that an event of default had occurred for failure to make an installment payment on the loan commencing June 2009 and demanded repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of 19.60 crore rupees (approximately $3.2 million) together with all accrued interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest accrues at the default interest rate of 2% above the State Bank of India Advance Rate. The default period began on July 1, 2009 when the principal payment was deemed past due; and we have accrued interest at the default rate since the beginning of the default period. On August 22, 2015, UBPL received a One Time Settlement Sanction Letter from the State Bank of India allowing for, among other things, four payments over a 360 day period amounting to $4.3 million, an interest rate holiday for 15 days after which the interest rate is payable at a rate of 2% above the base rate of Reserve Bank of India and certain releases by both parties. Upon performance under the agreement, including the payment of all stipulated amounts, UBPL will receive relief for prior accrued interest in the amount of approximately $2.1 million.

On August 4, 2013, GS Cleantech Corporation, a subsidiary of Greenshift Corporation (“Greenshift”), filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California – Fresno Division against us and our subsidiary, AAFK. The case was transferred to the Southern District of Indiana and joined to a pending Multidistrict Litigation. The complaint alleges infringement of patent rights assigned to Greenshift and pertaining to corn oil extraction processes we employ, and seeks royalties, treble damages, attorney’s fees, and injunctions precluding us from further infringement. The corn oil extraction process we use is licensed to us by Valicor Separation Technologies LLC. Valicor has no obligations to indemnify us. On October 23, 2014, the Court ruled that all the claims of all the patents at issue in the case are invalid and, therefore, not infringed and adopted this finding in our case on January 16, 2015. GS Cleantech has said it will appeal this decision when the remaining claim in the suit has been decided. We believe the likelihood of Greenshift succeeding on appeal of the invalidity findings is small since the Court’s findings included several grounds for invalidity of each allegedly infringed patent. If Greenshift successfully appeals the findings of invalidity, damages may be $1 million or more. The only remaining claim in the suit alleges that GS Cleantech obtained the patents at issue by inequitably conducting itself before the United States Patent Office. A trial in the District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on that issue was concluded and awaits judicial decision. If the patents at issue are found invalid due to GS Cleantech’s inequitable conduct, it would receive no damage award. If the Court determines this is an “exceptional case” it may award us and our subsidiary the attorneys’ fees expended to date for defense in this case. It is unknown whether GS Cleantech would appeal such a ruling.
