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 nine months ended September 30, ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of December 31, ~~2014~~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 nine months ended September 30, ~~2015~~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 or by-products received.

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.

~~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 distiller’s grains,~~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 ~~receivables consist~~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 ~~balance as of~~at September 30, ~~2015~~2016 and December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

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

~~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 determined 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 would be recognized when the fair value is less than the related net book value, and an impairment expense would be recorded in the amount of the difference. Forecasts of future cash flows are judgments based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the Company’s operations and the industries in which the Company operates. These forecasts could be significantly affected by future changes in market conditions, the economic environment, including inflation, and the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers.

~~California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program~~. The Company participated in the California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program (CEPIP). Under the CEPIP, an eligible California ethanol facility could receive up to $3 million in cash per plant per year of operations through 2013 when current production corn crush spreads, measured as the difference between specified ethanol and corn index prices, dropped below $0.55 per gallon. For any month in which a payment was made by the CEPIP, the Company may be required to reimburse the funds within the subsequent five years from each payment date, if the corn crush spreads exceed $1.00 per gallon. The Company qualified for and received grants in the amount of $1.8 million. During 2013 and 2014, the strength of the crush spread resulted in an obligation to repay CEPIP funding in the amount of $1.8 million, the entire amount of funds received from the program. As of December 31, 2014, the Company carried a remaining liability of $0.8 million for repayment of funds received. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 the Company repaid all cash plus accrued interest on amounts obtained from the CEPIP program.

~~Warrant liability~~: The Company adopted guidance related to distinguishing liabilities from equity for certain warrants which contain a conditional obligation to repurchase feature. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 18,644 warrants outstanding with a conditional obligation to repurchase feature that require liability treatment. As a result, a warrant liability was recorded to recognize the fair value upon issuance of each warrant. The Company estimates the fair value of future liability on warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Assumptions within the pricing model include: 1) the risk-free interest rate, which comes from the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the contractual life of the warrants, 2) the expected life of the warrants which is assumed to be the contractual life of the warrants, and 3) the volatility which 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~~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 net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net 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 ~~loss~~losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net ~~income~~loss per share computations as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As the Company incurred net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, potentially dilutive securities have been included in the diluted net income per share computations and any potentially anti-dilutive shares have been excluded and are shown below.

~~The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the net income (loss) per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:~~

In valuing restricted common shares issued to consultants, debt holders, or affiliated investors, the Company estimates the discount for lack of marketability on restricted stock issued, using the Black-Scholes model for pricing call options, 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 NASDAQ market exchange implies the discount for lack of marketability.

~~Legal Proceedings~~

On March 10, 2011, UBPL received a demand notice from the State Bank of India under the Agreement of Loan for Overall Limit dated as of June 26, 2008. The notice 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 from the State Bank of India, a One Time Settlement Sanction Letter 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 13.7% per annum, 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.

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 the Company and its subsidiary the attorneys’ fees expended to date for defense in this case. It is unknown whether GS Cleantech would appeal such a ruling.

The Company is a named defendant in the lawsuit filed by Gibraltar SSI, LLC. In addition to the Company, the lawsuit names McAfee Capital, LLC, P2 Capital, LLC, Eric McAfee and Marguerite McAfee as defendants. Plaintiff Gibraltar SSI, LLC alleges causes of action for fraudulent conveyances and related claims alleging that the Company participated in a scheme to issue at least 6 million shares of Company stock to McAfee Capital without consideration and so as to put the shares outside the reach of Gibraltar, SSI. The lawsuit alleges damages of “over $6.5 million.” This lawsuit was filed in April 2014 but was not pursued by Gibraltar and was effectively dormant until this quarter. The allegations are vigorously disputed by the Company.

~~9. 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 a conditional obligation to repurchase feature. In accordance with accounting for warrants as liabilities, the Company calculated the fair value of 18,644 warrants under Level 3 using the assumptions described in Note 8 - 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 September 30, 2015, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Warrant liability $ 51 $ - $ - $ 51

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.

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.

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 ~~5. Notes Payable~~4. Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

~~During the first nine months of 2015, ethanol prices have declined significantly, reducing our profitability as of September 30, 2015.~~ 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, distillers corn oil, CDS, biodiesel, waste fats and oils, ~~NPRO,~~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 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) ~~selling additional~~obtaining the remaining $5.0 million of EB-5Phase I funding from escrow, (iv) obtaining $50.0 million in funding from EB-5 ~~Notes, (iv)~~Phase II funding currently being offered to investors, (v) refinancing senior debt on terms more commensurate with the long-term financing of capital assets, ~~(v)~~(vi) securing higher volumes of sales from the Kakinada plant, ~~(vi)~~(vii) continuing to expand the domestic India markets, ~~and (vii)~~(viii) using the availability on the existing working capital credit line, and (ix) sales of common stock under the ~~Company~~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.

~~Purchase Agreement,~~12, dated ~~August 6, 2015,~~March 21, 2016, we have the right to extend the maturity date of the Third Eye Capital Notes to April 1, ~~2017~~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. ~~We believe that we should be able to refinance our senior debt facility with commercial rates commensurate with our current credit profile.~~

Our senior lender has provided a series of accommodating amendments to the existing and previous loan facilities in the past as described in further detail in Note ~~5. Notes Payable~~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 ~~Oil, Limited,~~Oils, in India to fund our commercial arrangements for the ~~acquisitions~~acquisition of feedstock. J.D. Heiskell currently provides us with working capital for ~~our California ethanol~~the Keyes plant and Secunderabad ~~Oil, Limited~~Oils currently provides us with working capital for ~~our~~the Kakinada ~~facility.~~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.

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, ~~2014.~~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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures along with the related internal controls over financial reporting were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including ~~the~~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 August 31, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court against defendants EdenIQ, Inc. (EdenIQ) and its CEO, Brian D. Thome, and Trinity Capital Investments (Trinity). The lawsuit is based on EdenIQ’s wrongful termination of a merger agreement that would have effectuated the merger of the Company and EdenIQ. The lawsuit also asserts that EdenIQ and Mr. Thome fraudulently induced the Company into assisting EdenIQ to obtain EPA approval for a new technology which the Company would not have done but for the merger agreement. The relief sought includes EdenIQ’s specific performance of the merger agreement and monetary damages, as well as punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

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 ~~a One Time Settlement Sanction Letter~~ 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 ~~13.7% per annum,~~a rate of 2% above the base rate of Reserve Bank of India and certain releases by both parties. ~~Upon performance under~~On October 20, 2016, UBPL paid the ~~agreement, including the payment of all~~final stipulated ~~amounts, UBPL will receive~~amount and received 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 ~~the Company~~us and ~~its~~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 ~~the Company employs,~~we employ, and seeks royalties, treble damages, attorney’s fees, and injunctions precluding ~~the Company~~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 Court found the patents ~~at issue are found invalid due to GS Cleantech’s~~unenforceable because of inequitable conduct ~~it would receive no damage award. If~~by GS Cleantech before the Patent and Trademark Office. GS Cleantech has asked the Court ~~determines this is an “exceptional case” it may award~~to reconsider its decision, citing the ~~Company~~existence of a recently issued patent which the patent examiner allowed despite the Court’s findings and the allowance of which the Court did not consider when making its ~~subsidiary the attorneys’ fees expended to date for defense in this case.
