1.Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of ~~Activities~~Activities. Founded in 2006~~. Headquartered~~ and headquartered in Cupertino, California, Aemetis, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, “Aemetis,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is an international renewable natural gas, and renewable fuels ~~and byproducts~~ company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative negative carbon intensity products and technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based ~~products~~products. We operate in three reportable segments “California Ethanol”, “Dairy Renewable Natural Gas”, and ~~reduce~~“India Biodiesel”. We have other operating segments determined not to be reportable segments and are collectively represented by the “All Other” category. At Aemetis, our mission is to generate sustainable and innovative renewable fuel solutions that benefit communities and restore our environment. We do this through leading the low-carbon fuels industry by building a circular bioeconomy utilizing agricultural waste to produce advanced renewable fuels that produce less greenhouse gas ~~emissions.~~emissions and thereby improve air quality.

~~Founded in 2006, we have completed Phase 1 and are expanding a California biogas digester network and pipeline system to convert dairy waste gas into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).~~ We own and operate a 65 million gallon per year ethanol production facility located in Keyes, California (the “Keyes Plant”). In addition to low carbon renewable fuel ethanol, the Keyes Plant produces Wet Distillers Grains (“WDG”), Distillers Corn Oil (“DCO”), and Condensed Distillers Solubles (“CDS”), all of which are sold as animal feed to local dairies and ~~feedlots as animal feed.~~feedlots. In the ~~fourth~~third quarter of ~~2021, an~~ 2022, a Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation ZEBREX^TMethanol ~~membrane~~ dehydration system was commissioned, ata key first step in the electrification of the Keyes Plant, ~~a key part of increasing the electrification~~which reduces our overall energy use and ~~decreasing natural gas usage at the facility. This project reduces greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and decreases~~lowers the carbon intensity of ~~fuel produced at the Keyes Plant, allowing us to realize a higher price for the ethanol produced and sold.~~our ethanol.

We also own and operate a 50 million gallon per year renewable chemical and advanced fuel production facility (“Kakinada Plant”) on the East Coast of India that produces high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin for customers in India and Europe. We are developing the Carbon Zero sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel fuel biorefineries in California to utilize distillers corn oil and other renewable oils to produce low carbon intensity renewable jet and diesel fuel using cellulosic hydrogen from waste orchard and forest wood, while pre-extracting cellulosic sugars from the waste wood to be processed into high value cellulosic ethanol at the Keyes plant. Additionally, we operate a research and development laboratory to develop efficient conversion technologies using waste feedstocks to produce biofuels and biochemicals. We hold a portfolio of patents and exclusive technology licenses to produce renewable fuels and biochemicals. We own a partially completed plant in Goodland, Kansas (the “Goodland Plant”) through our subsidiary Goodland Advanced Fuels, Inc., (“GAFI”), which was formed to acquire the Goodland Plant.

~~During 2018,~~ Aemetis Biogas, LLC (“ABGL”) was formed to construct bio-methane anaerobic digesters at local dairies near the Keyes Plant, many of whom also purchase WDG produced at the Keyes Plant. The digesters are connected via aan underground private pipeline owned by ABGL to a gas cleanup and compression unit being built at the Keyes Plant to produce ~~Renewable Natural Gas~~dairy renewable natural gas (“RNG”). ~~During the third quarter of 2020, ABGL completed construction on the first two dairy digesters along with the pipeline that carries bio-methane from these dairies to the Keyes Plant.~~ Upon receiving the bio-methane from the dairies, impurities are removed, and the bio-methane is converted to negative carbon intensity RNG ~~where it~~that will either be ~~either~~ injected into the ~~local~~statewide PG&E gas utility pipeline, supplied as ~~renewable~~ compressed ~~natural gas (“RCNG”)~~RNG that will service local trucking fleets, or used as renewable process energy at the Keyes Plant.

~~During the first quarter of 2021, we announced our “Carbon Zero”~~Our Carbon Zero biofuels production plants are designed to produce biofuels, including ~~renewable jet~~sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) and diesel fuel utilizing ~~cellulosic~~renewable hydrogen and non-edible renewable oils sourced from ~~our~~ existing Aemetis biofuels plants and other sources. The first plant to be built in Riverbank, California, ~~“Carbon Zero 1”,~~ is expected to utilize hydroelectric and other renewable power available onsite to produce 4590 million gallons per year of ~~jet fuel,~~SAF, renewable diesel, and other byproducts. The plant is expected to supply the aviation and truck markets with ultra-low carbon renewable fuels to reduce ~~greenhouse gas (“GHG”)~~GHG emissions and other pollutants associated with conventional petroleum-based fuels.

~~The Company is continuing to develop a biomass-to-fuel technology to build a carbon zero production facility.~~ By producing ultra-low carbon renewable fuels, the Company expects to capture higher value D3 ~~RINs~~ Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and California’s LCFS credits. D3 RINs have a higher value in the marketplace than D6 RINs due to D3 RINs’ relative scarcity and mandated pricing formula from the United States ~~EPA.~~Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

~~On April 1, 2021, we established~~ Aemetis Carbon Capture, Inc. was formed to build ~~carbon sequestration~~Carbon Capture and Sequestration ("CCS") projects to generate LCFS and IRS 45Q credits by injecting CO₂ into wells which are monitored for emissions to ensure the long-term sequestration of carbon underground. ~~California’s Central Valley is~~The CCS projects are expected to capture and sequester up to two million metric tons per year of CO₂ at the two Aemetis biofuels plant sites in Keyes and Riverbank, California. In July 2022, Aemetis purchased 24 acres, on the Riverbank Industrial Complex site in Riverbank, California, to develop a CCS injection well. The Company plans to construct a characterization well ~~established as a major region~~to obtain both the data and well design information required for ~~large-scale natural gas production and~~the EPA Class VI CO₂ injection ~~projects due~~well permit application. The well is expected to ~~the subsurface geologic formation that retains gases.~~sequester up to one million metric tons per year of CO₂.

We also own and operate a production facility on the ~~Kakinada Plant~~East Coast of India (the “Kakinada Plant”) with a nameplate capacity of 150 thousand metric tons per year, or about 50 million gallons per year, producing high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin for customers in India and Europe. ~~We believe the Kakinada Plant is one of the largest biodiesel production facilities in India on a nameplate capacity basis.~~ The Kakinada Plant is capable of processing a variety of vegetable oils and animal fat waste feedstocks into biodiesel that meet international product standards. The Kakinada Plant also distills the crude glycerin byproduct from the biodiesel refining process into refined glycerin, which is sold to the pharmaceutical, personal care, paint, adhesive and other industries.

Basis of Presentation and ~~Consolidation~~.Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis. Additionally, we consolidate all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is usually obtained through ownership of a majority of the voting interests. However, an enterprise must consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) if the enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, even if the enterprise does not own a majority of the voting interests. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ABGL was assessed to be a VIE and through the ~~Company's~~Company’s ownership interest in all of the outstanding common stock, the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary and accordingly, the assets, liabilities, and operations of ABGL are consolidated into those of the Company.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, and the consolidated condensed statements of stockholders’ deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020~~2021 are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2020~~ 2021 was derived from the ~~2020~~2021 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the ~~2020~~2021 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. 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 Company’s management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020~~2021 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 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, ~~2021~~2022 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, 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. We derive revenue primarily from sales of ethanol and related co-products in North America, and biodiesel and refined glycerin in India pursuant to supply agreements and purchase order contracts. We assessed the following criteria under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 guidance: (i) identify the contracts with customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

California Ethanol: Until ~~North America:~~~~In North America, until~~ May 13, 2020, we sold all our ethanol to J.D. Heiskell & Co. (“J.D. Heiskell”) under the Working Capital and Purchasing Agreement (the “J.D. Heiskell Purchasing Agreement”). On May 13, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Corn Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell (the “Corn Procurement and Working Capital”), under the terms of which we buy all corn from J.D. Heiskell and sell all WDG and corn oil we produce to J.D. Heiskell. Following May 13, 2020 and until October, 2021, we sold the majority of our fuel ethanol production to one customer, Kinergy Marketing, LLC (“Kinergy”), through individual sales transactions. We terminated the Ethanol Marketing Agreement with Kinergy as of September 30, 2021. Effective October 1, 2021, we entered into Fuel Ethanol Purchase and Sale Agreement with Murex LLC (“Murex”), in which we sell all our ethanol to Murex. Given the similarity of the individual sales transactions with Kinergy and Murex, we have assessed them as a portfolio of similar contracts. The performance obligation is satisfied by delivery of the physical product to one of our customer’s contracted trucking companies. Upon delivery, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the product and receive substantially all of its benefits. The transaction price is determined based on daily market prices negotiated by Kinergy and Murex for ethanol and by our marketing partner A.L. Gilbert Company (“A.L. Gilbert”) for WDG. ~~There is no~~The transaction price ~~allocation needed.~~

~~During the first quarter of 2020, Aemetis began selling high-grade alcohol for consumer applications directly~~is allocated to customers on the West Coast and Midwest using a variety of payment terms. These agreements and terms were evaluated according to ASC 606 guidance and such revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of theone performance obligation by delivery of the product based on the terms of the agreement. Sales of high-grade alcohol were minimal for the third quarter and year to date revenue for 2021 and were aggregated with ethanol sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Sales of high-grade alcohol represented 2% and 18% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.obligation.

We have elected to adopt the practical expedient that allows for ignoring the significant financing component of a contract when estimating the transaction price when the transfer of promised goods to the customer and customer payment for such goods are expected to be within one year of contract inception. Further, we have elected to adopt the practical expedient in which incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when the amortization period would otherwise be less than one year.

We also assessed principal versus agent criteria as we buy our feedstock from our customers and process and sell finished goods to those customers in certain contractual agreements.

~~In North America,~~For our California Ethanol segment, we buy corn as feedstock for the production of ethanol, from our working capital partner J.D. Heiskell. Prior to May 13, 2020, we sold all our ethanol, WDG, and corn oil to J.D. Heiskell and we bought all our corn to process into ethanol from J.D. Heiskell. ~~Subsequent to~~ After May 13, 2020, we sold most of our fuel ethanol to one customer, Kinergy, and sold all WDG and corn oil to J.D. Heiskell. During the second quarter ~~the Company~~of 2021, we signed a biofuels offtake agreement with Murex, ~~LLC,~~ and beginning on October 1, 2021 ~~the Company will sell~~we sold all of our fuel ethanol to ~~that customer.~~Murex. We only have customer relationships with Kinergy and Murex, hence the principal and agent criteria are not applied. However, we are still buying corn and selling WDG and corn oil to J.D.Heiskell. We analyzed the principal versus agent relationship criteria below.

We consider the purchase of corn as a cost of goods sold and the sale of ~~ethanol,~~WDG and, corn oil, upon ~~transfer to~~trucks leaving the ~~common carrier,~~Keyes Plant, as revenue on the basis that (i) we control and bear the risk of gain or loss on the processing of corn which is purchased at market prices into ethanol and (ii) we have legal title to the goods during the processing time. The pricing for both WDG and corn ~~and ethanol~~oil is set independently. Revenues from ~~sales of ethanol~~WDG and ~~its co-products~~corn oil are billed net of the related transportation and marketing charges. The transportation component is accounted for in cost of goods sold and the marketing component is accounted for in sales, general and administrative expense. Transportation and marketing charges are known within days of the transaction and are recorded at the actual amounts. ~~The Company has~~We have elected an accounting policy under which these charges have been treated as fulfillment activities provided after control has transferred. As a result, these charges are recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, when revenue is recognized. Revenues are recorded at the gross invoiced amount. Hence, we are the principal in ~~North America sales scenarios~~California Ethanol segment where our customer and vendor may be the same.

Dairy Renewable Natural Gas: All of our Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segment revenues during the ~~India:~~three and nineIn months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were from sales of biogas to the Keyes Plant for use in boilers. This resulted in lowering the carbon intensity of the Keyes Plant and increased revenues on ethanol sold through the California Ethanol segment. These revenues have been eliminated once consolidated. Refer to Note 10 Segment Information for the unconsolidated revenue of our Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segment.

India weBiodiesel: We sell products pursuant to purchase orders (written or verbal) or by contract with governmental or international parties, in which performance is satisfied by delivery and acceptance of the physical product. Given that the contracts are sufficiently similar in nature, we have assessed these contracts as a portfolio of similar contracts as allowed under the practical expedient. Doing so does not result in a materially different outcome compared to individually accounting for each contract. All domestic and international deliveries are subject to certain specifications as identified in ~~the~~ contracts. The transaction price is determined daily based on reference market prices for biodiesel, refined glycerin, and palm fatty acid distillate ~~(“PFAD”)~~ net of taxes.

In India, we also assessed principal versus agent criteria as we buy our feedstock from our customers and process and sell finished goods to those same customers in certain contractual agreements. In those cases, we receive the legal title to feedstock from our customers once it is on our premises. We control the processing and production of biodiesel based on contract terms and specifications. The pricing for both feedstock and biodiesel is set independently. We hold the title and risk to biodiesel according to agreements when we enter into in these situations. Hence, we are the principal in India sales scenarios where our customer and vendor may be the same.

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 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 and WDG through ~~third-party~~third-party marketing arrangements generally without requiring collateral and high-grade alcohol directly to customers on a variety of terms including advanced payment terms, based on the size and creditworthiness of the customer. DCO is marketed and sold to A.L. Gilbert and other customers under the J.D. Heiskell Purchasing Agreement. The Company sells CDS directly to customers on standard 30 day payment terms. 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. Usually, invoices are due within ~~30-days~~30-days on net terms. Accounts receivables consist of product sales made to large creditworthy customers. Trade accounts receivable are presented at original invoice amount, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts.

Table of Contents

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 receivables are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once un-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. We reserved $1.4 ~~million and $1.3~~ million in the allowances for doubtful accounts as of ~~September 30, 2021 and~~ December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021 and wrote off the balances as uncollectible during the second quarter of 2022.

Inventories. Finished goods, raw materials, and work-in-process inventories are valued using methods which approximate the lower of cost ~~(first-in, first-out)~~(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.

~~Investments.~~ ~~The Company follows ASC 325-20,~~ ~~Cost Method Investments~~, to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under ASC 325-20, equity securities that do not have readily determinable guarants (i.e., non-marketable equity securities) and are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments). Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. During 2020, the Company received 489,716 preferred stock shares and 5,000,000 common stock shares in Nevo Motors, a privately held company, in exchange for conversion of its existing debt, carried at zero value, into equity. Due to the lack of operations, the carrying amount of our investment is zero at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Variable Interest Entities. We determine at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which we have made an investment or in which we have other variable interests in is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: ~~(1)~~(1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and ~~(2)~~(2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Periodically, we assess whether any changes in our interest or relationship with the entity ~~affect~~affects our determination of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. If we are not the primary beneficiary in a VIE, we account for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP.

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 plant and buildings, furniture, machinery, equipment, land, and biogas dairy digesters. Capital expenses for in-process project are accumulated in construction in progress and will be capitalized and depreciated once the capital projects are finished and are in service. The Company’s plant in Goodland, ~~Plant~~Kansas (the ”Goodland Plant”) is partially completed and is not ready for operation. It is the Company’s policy to depreciate capital assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC Subtopic ~~360-10-35~~ 360-10-35Property Plant and ~~Equipment—~~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 group may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group 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. The Company has not recorded any impairment during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

USDA’s Biofuel Producer Program Grant. During the second quarter of 2022, a grant in the amount of $14.2 million was received from the USDA’s Biofuel Producer Program, created as part of the CARES Act, to compensate biofuel producers who experienced market losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was recorded in the other expense (income) section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

California Energy Commission Grant for Mechanical Vapor Recompression System. Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes (“AAFK”) has been awarded a $6.0 million grant to design, construct and commission a mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) system. The additional evaporation stages will eliminate natural gas consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions in the evaporation portion of the process by installing metering equipment and software to monitor and optimize the plant’s energy consumption. The MVR system will compress vapor to a higher pressure and temperature so that it can be recycled multiple times as steam heat in the evaporation process, which will dramatically reduce natural gas use. The grant requires $5.3 million in matching contributions. AAFK has received no grant funds from this program as reimbursement for actual expenditures incurred through September 30, 2022. Due to the uncertainty associated with the approval process under the grant program, the Company will recognize future grant proceeds received as a reduction of costs in the period when payment is received.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net 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 nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, 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 as of September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

Comprehensive Income (Loss). ASC 220 ~~ASC 220~~ Comprehensive Income (Loss) 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 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 and 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 during the year. Transactional gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other (income) ~~loss,~~expense, net.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.Financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, current and non-current portion of subordinated debt, notes receivable, notes payable, ~~series~~Series A preferred units, and long-term debt. Due to the unique terms of our notes payable and long-term debt and the financial condition of the Company, the fair value of the debt is not readily determinable. The fair value determined using level 3 inputs, of all other current financial instruments is estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718Stock Compensation requiring the Company to recognize expenses 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.

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.

Debt Modification Accounting. The Company evaluates amendments to its debt in accordance with ASC ~~470-50~~ ~~Debt–~~470-50Debt–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.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements~~.

~~ASU 2016-13: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.~~ This ASU requires the use of an expected loss model for certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses is required. For available-for-sale debt securities, an allowance for credit losses will be required rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are assessing the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

For a complete summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~15, 2021.~~10, 2022.

Third Eye Capital Note Purchase Agreement

On July 6, 2012, Aemetis, Inc. and Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes, Inc. (“AAFK”), entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Third Eye Capital ~~(the “Note Purchase Agreement”~~Corporation (“Third Eye Capital”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Third Eye Capital extended credit in the form of (i) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $7.2 million to replace existing notes held by Third Eye Capital (the “Term Notes”); (ii) senior secured revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of $18.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”); (iii) senior secured term loans in the principal amount of $10.0 million to convert the prior revenue participation agreement to a note (the “Revenue Participation Term Notes”); and (iv) senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Acquisition Term Notes”) used to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of Cilion, Inc. (the Term Notes, Revolving Credit Facility, Revenue Participation Term Notes and Acquisition Term Notes are referred to herein collectively as the “Original Third Eye Capital Notes”).

On April 1, 2020, the Company exercised the option to extend the maturity of Third Eye Capital Notes to April 1, 2021 for a fee of 1% of the outstanding note balance instead of agreed fee of 5% in Amendment No.14 to the Note Purchase Agreement. We have evaluated the reduction in extension fee to 1% in accordance with ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructuring. According to the guidance, we considered the 1% extension fee to be a troubled debt restructuring.

On August 11, 2020, Third Eye Capital agreed to Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 17 to the Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 17”), to (i) provide that the maturity date of the Third Eye Capital Notes may be further extended at our election to April 1, 2022 in exchange for an extension fee equal to 1% of the Note Indebtedness in respect to each Note, provided that such fee may be added to the outstanding principal balance of each Note on the effective date of each such extension, (ii) provide for a waiver of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. As consideration for such amendment and waivers, the borrowers also agreed to pay Third Eye Capital an amendment and waiver fee of $0.3 million in cash (the “Amendment No. 17 Fee”). On November 5, 2020, Third Eye Capital agreed to Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 18 to the Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 18”) to provide for a waiver of the ratio of note indebtedness covenant for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. As consideration for such amendment and waivers, the borrowers also agreed to pay Third Eye Capital an amendment fee of $50 thousand. We have evaluated the $0.3 million waiver fee in Amendment No. 17 and the $50 thousand waiver fee in Amendment No. 18 in accordance with ASC 470-60 ~~Troubled Debt Restructuring~~.

~~Table of Contents~~

According to the guidance, we considered the $0.3 million fee in Amendment No.17 and the $50 thousand waiver fee in Amendment No. 18 to be troubled debt restructurings. In order to assess whether the creditor granted a concession, we calculated the post-restructuring effective interest rate by projecting cash flows on the new terms and calculated a discount rate equal to the carrying amount of pre-restructuring of debt, and by comparing this calculation to the terms of Amendment No. 15, we determined that Third Eye Capital provided a concession in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-60 and thus applied troubled debt restructuring accounting, resulting in no gain or loss from the application of this accounting. Using the effective interest method of amortization, the Amendment No. 17 waiver fee of $0.3 million is being amortized over the stated remaining life of the Third Eye Capital Notes.

On February 27, 2019, a promissory note (the ~~“February~~“February 2019 Note”, together with the Original Third Eye Capital Notes, the “Third Eye Capital Notes”) for $2.1 million was advanced by Third Eye Capital to Aemetis, Inc., as a short-term credit facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes with an interest rate of 14% per annum maturing on the earlier of (a) receipt of proceeds from any financing, refinancing, or other similar transaction, (b) extension of credit by ~~payee,~~Third Eye Capital, as lender or as agent on behalf of certain lenders, to the Company or its affiliates, or (c) April 30, 2019. In consideration of the February 2019 Note, $0.1 million of the total proceeds were paid to Third Eye Capital as financing charges. On April 30, 2019, the February 2019 Note was modified to remove the stated maturity date and instead be due on demand by Third Eye Capital. In third quarter of 2019, the February 2019 Note was modified to include additional borrowings of $0.7 million.

As consideration for such amendment and waivers, the borrowers also agreed to pay Third Eye Capital an amendment and waiver fee of $0.1 million in cash (the “Amendment No.19 Fee”). We gave the notice to extend the maturity date of the Notes to April 1, 2022 and the extension fee equal to 1% of the Note Indebtedness in respect to each Note, provided that half of such fee may be added to the outstanding principal balance of each Note on the effective date of each such extension and rest of the balance may be payable in cash or common stock within 60 days of the date of such relevant extension.

Amendments No.19 through No. ~~20, and No 21~~24 waived certain covenants for the periods between September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023. According to ASC 470-10-45 Debt–Other Presentation Matters, if it is probable that the Company will not be able to cure the default at measurement dates within the next 12 months, the related debt needs to be classified as current. To assess this guidance, the Company performed ratio and cash flow analysis using its cash flow forecast and debt levels. The Company forecasted sufficient cash flows over the next ~~four quarters,~~12 months to reduce debt levels of Third Eye Capital and meet operations of the Company. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that through a combination of cash flows from operations, sales from EB-5 investments, and proceeds from the sale of common stock, it will be able to meet the ratio of the note indebtedness covenant over the next 12 months. As such, the notes are classified as long-term debt.

~~EB-5 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. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated March 4, 2011 (as further amended on January 19, 2012 and July 24, 2012) 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 (the “EB-5 Notes”) bearing interest at 2-3%. Each note was issued in the principal amount of $0.5 million and due and payable four years from the date of each note, for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36.0 million (the “EB-5 Phase I funding”). The original maturity date on the promissory notes can be extended automatically for a one- or two-year period initially and is eligible for further one-year automatic extensions as long as there is no notice of non-extension from investors and the investors’ immigration process is in progress. On February 27, 2019, Advanced BioEnergy, LP, and the Company entered into an Amendment to the EB-5 Notes which restated the original maturity date on the promissory notes with automatic six-month extensions as long as the investors’ immigration processes are in progress. Except for six early investor EB-5 Notes, the Company was granted 12 months from the date of the completion of immigration process to redeem these EB-5 Notes. Accordingly, the notes have been recognized as long-term debt while the six early investor notes and several investors who obtained green card approval have been classified as current debt. The EB-5 Notes are convertible after three years at a conversion price of $30 per share.

Advanced BioEnergy, LP arranges investments with foreign investors, who each make loans to the Keyes Plant in increments of $0.5 million. The Company has sold an aggregate principal amount of $36.0 million of EB-5 Notes under the EB-5 Phase I funding since 2012 to the date of this filing. As of September 30, 2021, $35.5 million has been released from the escrow amount to the Company, with $0.5 million remaining to be funded to escrow.

As of September 30, 2021, $34.5 million in principal and $3.9 million in accrued interest was outstanding on the EB-5 Notes sold under the EB-5 Phase I funding.

On October 16, 2016, the Company launched its EB-5 Phase II funding, with plans to issue $50.0 million in additional EB-5 Notes on substantially similar terms and conditions as those issued under the Company’s EB-5 Phase I funding, to refinance indebtedness and capital expenditures of Aemetis, Inc. and GAFI (the “EB-5 Phase II funding”). On November 21, 2019, the minimum investment was raised from $0.5 million per investor to $0.9 million per investor. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated with Advanced BioEnergy II, LP, a California limited partnership authorized as a Regional Center to receive EB-5 Phase II funding investments, for the issuance of up to 100 EB-5 Notes bearing interest at 3%. On May 1, 2020 Supplement No. 3 amended the offering documents and lowered the total eligible new EB-5 Phase II funding investors to 60. Eight EB-5 investors have funded at the $0.5 million per investor amount, so 52 new EB-5 Phase II funding investors are eligible at the new $0.9 million per investor amount under the current offering. Job creation studies show it may be possible to add additional investors and increase the total offering amount in the future. Each new note will be issued in the principal amount of $0.9 million and due and payable five years from the date of each note, for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $50.8 million.

The Company evaluated the January 1, 2022 and July 1 2022 amendments and the refinancing terms of the notes and applied modification accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment.

EB-5 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. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated March 4, 2011 (as further amended on January 19, 2012 and July 24, 2012) 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 (the “EB-5 Notes”) bearing interest at 2-3%. Each note was issued in the principal amount of $0.5 million and due and payable four years from the date of each note, for a total aggregate principal amount of up to $36.0 million (the “EB-5 Phase I funding”). The original maturity date on the promissory notes can be extended automatically for a one- or two-year period initially and is eligible for further one-year automatic extensions as long as there is no notice of non-extension from investors and the investors’ immigration process is in progress. On February 27, 2019, Advanced BioEnergy, LP, and the Company entered into an Amendment to the EB-5 Notes which restated the original maturity date on the promissory notes with automatic six-month extensions as long as the investors’ immigration processes are in progress. Except for six early investor EB-5 Notes, the Company was granted 12 months from the date of the completion of immigration process to redeem these EB-5 Notes. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and processing delays for immigration process, Advanced BioEnergy, LP extended the maturity dates for debt repayment based on their projected processing timings as long as the investors do not give notice of withdrawal or an I-829 gets approved. Accordingly, the notes have been recognized as long-term debt while investor notes who obtained green card approval have been classified as current debt. The EB-5 Notes are convertible after three years at a conversion price of $30 per share.

The Company has sold an aggregate principal amount of $36.0 million of EB-5 Notes under the EB-5 Phase I funding since 2012 to the date of this filing. As of September 30, 2022, $35.5 million has been released from the escrow amount to the Company, with $0.5 million remaining to be funded to escrow. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $37.0 million and $36.6 million was outstanding, respectively, on the EB-5 Notes sold under the EB-5 Phase I funding.

On October 16, 2016, the Company launched its EB-5 Phase II funding (the “EB-5 Phase II Funding”), with plans to issue $50.0 million in additional EB-5 Notes on substantially similar terms and conditions as those issued under the Company’s EB-5 Phase I funding, to refinance indebtedness and capital expenditures of Aemetis, Inc. and Goodland Advanced Fuels Inc., (“GAFI”). On November 21, 2019, the minimum investment was raised from $0.5 million per investor to $0.9 million per investor. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated with Advanced BioEnergy II, LP, a California limited partnership authorized as a Regional Center to receive EB-5 Phase II funding investments, for the issuance of up to 100 EB-5 Notes bearing interest at 3%. On May 1, 2020 ~~GAFI had none~~Supplement No.3 amended the offering documents and ~~$22.2~~lowered the total eligible new EB-5 Phase II funding investors to 60. Eight EB-5 investors have funded at the $0.5 million ~~net~~per investor amount, with 52 new EB-5 Phase II funding investors remaining eligible at the new $0.9 million per investors amount under the current offering. Job creation studies show it may be possible to add additional investors and increase the total offering amount in the future. Each EB-5 note will be issued in the principal amount and due and payable five years from the date of ~~debt issuance costs~~each EB-5 note, for a total aggregate principal amount of ~~none~~up to $50.8 million.

The Company has sold an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million of EB-5 Notes under the EB-5 Phase II funding since 2016 to the date of this filing.

Leases

We have identified assets as the corporate office, warehouse, monitoring equipment and laboratory facilities over which we have control and obtain economic benefits fully. We classified these identified assets as operating leases after assessing the terms under classification guidance. We have entered into several leases for trailers and carbon units with purchase option at the end of the term. We have concluded that it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the purchase option at the end of the term, hence the leases were classified as finance leases. All of our leases have remaining term of less than a year to 715 years.

We made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. We will recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as we incur the expenses.

~~Table of Contents~~

When discount rates implicit in leases cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the applicable incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to perform lease classification tests on lease components and measure lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The incremental borrowing rate used by the Company was based on weighted average baseline rates commensurate with the Company’s secured borrowing rate over a similar term. At each reporting period, when there is a new lease initiated, the rates established for that quarter will be used.

Legal Proceedings

On August 31, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court against defendant EdenIQ, Inc. (“EdenIQ”). The lawsuit was based on EdenIQ’s wrongful termination of a merger agreement that would have effectuated the merger of EdenIQ into a new entity that would be primarily owned by Aemetis. The lawsuit asserted that EdenIQ had fraudulently induced the Company into assisting EdenIQ to obtain EPA approval for a new technology that the Company would not have done but for the Company’s belief that the merger would occur. The relief sought included EdenIQ’s specific performance of the merger, monetary damages, as well as punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. In response to the lawsuit, EdenIQ filed a cross-complaint asserting causes of action relating to the Company’s alleged inability to consummate the merger, the Company’s interactions with EdenIQ’s business partners, and the Company’s use of EdenIQ’s name and trademark in association with publicity surrounding the merger. Further, EdenIQ named Third Eye Capital Corporation (“TEC”) as a defendant in a second amended cross-complaint alleging that TEC had failed to disclose that its financial commitment to fund the merger included terms that were not disclosed. Finally, EdenIQ claimed that TEC and the Company concealed material information surrounding the financing of the merger. By way of its cross-complaint, EdenIQ sought monetary damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs. In November 2018, the claims asserted by the Company were dismissed on summary judgment and the Company filed a motion to amend its claims, which remains pending. In December 2018, EdenIQ dismissed all of its claims prior to trial. In February 2019, the Company and EdenIQ each filed motions seeking reimbursement of attorney fees and costs associated with the litigation. On July 24, 2019, the court awarded EdenIQ a portion of the fees and costs it had sought in the amount of approximately $6.2 ~~million. The~~million and the Company recorded these fees based on the ~~$6.2~~court order. On May 6, 2022 the parties settled the dispute for $4.8 million ~~as loss contingency~~by entering into a settlement agreement. The settlement was paid and a gain on litigation ~~during~~of $1.4 million was recognized on the ~~year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s ability to amend its claims and present its claims to~~income statement in the ~~court or a jury could materially affect the court’s decision to award EdenIQ its fees and costs. In addition to further legal motions and a potential appeal~~second quarter of the Court’s summary judgment order, the Company plans to appeal the court’s award of EdenIQ’s fees and costs. The Company intends to continue to vigorously pursue its legal claims and defenses against EdenIQ.2022.

6. Aemetis Biogas LLC – Series A Preferred Financing and Variable Interest Entity

On December 20, 2018, ABGL entered into a Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement for the sale of Series A Preferred Units to ~~Protair-X~~Protair-X Americas, Inc., with Third Eye Capital acting as an agent.

ABGL is authorized to issue 11,000,000 common units, and up to 6,000,000 convertible, redeemable, secured, preferred membership units (the “Series A Preferred Units”). ABGL issued 6,000,000 common units to the Company at $5.00 per common unit for a total of $30,000,000 in funding. Additionally, 5,000,000 common units of ABGL are held in reserve as potential conversion units issuable to the Purchaser upon certain triggering events discussed below.

The Preferred Unit Agreement includes (i) preference payments of $0.50 per unit on the outstanding Series A Preferred Units commencing on the second anniversary, with any outstanding preference payments shall have an interest per annum rate equal to ten percent (ii) conversion rights for up to 1,200,000 common units or up to maximum number of 5,000,000 common units (also at a one Series A Preferred Unit to one common unit basis) if certain triggering events occur, (iv) one board seat of the three available to be elected by Series A Preferred Unit holders, (iii) mandatory redemption value at $15 per unit payable at an amount equal to 75% of free cash flow generated by ABGL, up to $90 million in the aggregate (if all units are issued), (iv) full redemption of the units on the sixth anniversary, (v) minimum cash flow requirements from each digester, and (vi) $0.9 million paid as fees to the Agent from the proceeds. Until paid, the obligations of ABGL under the Preferred Unit Agreement are secured by the assets of ABGL in an amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $30,000,000, plus (ii) all interest, fees, charges, expenses, reimbursement obligations and indemnification obligations of ABGL.

Triggering events occur upon ABGL’s failure to redeem units, comply with covenants, any other defaults or cross defaults, or to perform representations or warranties. Upon a triggering event: (i) the obligation of the Purchaser to purchase additional Series A Preferred Units is terminated, (ii) cash flow payments for redemption payments increases from 75% to 100% of free cash flows, and (iii) total number of common units into which preferred units may be converted increases from 1,200,000 common units to 5,000,000 common units on a one for one basis. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, ABGL has not generated minimum quarterly operating cash flows by operating the dairies. As a result of the violation of this covenant, free cash flows, when they occur, may be applied for redemption payments at the increased rate of 100% instead of the initial rate of 75% of free cash flows.

On August 8th,2022, ABGL, Protair-X America, Inc. (“Protair”), and Third Eye Capital entered into a Waiver and Amendment to Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (“PUPA Amendment") which amends that certain Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (“PUPA”) dated as of December 20, 2018. The PUPA Amendment provides for: (i) a waiver of certain covenants prohibiting the internal reorganization of ABGL subsidiaries and the incurrence of indebtedness by ABGL and its subsidiaries pursuant to a USDA loan, provided that, among other things, Third Eye Capital shall have received a repayment of at least $7.3 million to be applied to the Carbon Revolving Line contemporaneously with the closing of the Construction Loan Agreement; (ii) a waiver of certain operational defaults under the PUPA; and (iii) an amendment which (a) requires ABGL to redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units by December 31, 2022 (the “Final Redemption Date”) for $116 million; and (b) provides ABGL the right to redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units by September 30, 2022 for $106 million. The PUPA Amendment further provides the failure to redeem the Series A Preferred Units by the Final Redemption Date would constitute a triggering event requiring ABGL to enter into a credit agreement with Protair and Third Eye Capital effective as of January 1, 2023. We evaluated the terms of the PUPA Amendment and applied extinguishment accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $49.4 million.

~~Table of Contents~~

From inception of the agreement to date, ABGL issued 3,200,000 Series A Preferred Units on first tranche for a value of $16.0 million and also issued 2,800,000 of Series A Preferred Units on second tranche for a value of $14.0 million, reduced by a redemption of 20,000 Series A Preferred Units for $0.3 million. The Company is accreting these ~~two~~ tranches from an initial fair value at August 8, 2022 of $105.8 million to the redemption value of ~~$89.7~~$116 million over the ~~estimated future cash flow periods of six years~~ next three months ending December 31, 2022 using the effective interest method. In addition, the Company identified freestanding future tranche rights and the accelerated redemption feature related to a change in control provision as derivatives which required bifurcation. These derivative features were assessed to have minimal value as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 based on the evaluation of the other conditions included in the agreement.

After consideration of ABGL’s operations and the above agreement, we concluded that ABGL did not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. ABGL is capitalized with Series A Preferred Units that are recorded as liabilities under U.S. GAAP. Hence, we concluded that ABGL is a VIE. Through the Company's ownership interest in all of the outstanding common stock, its current ability to control the board of directors, the management fee paid to Aemetis and control of subordinated financing decisions, Aemetis has been determined to be the primary beneficiary and accordingly, the assets, liabilities, and operations of ABGL are consolidated into those of the Company. Total assets, before intercompany eliminations, of ABGL as of September 30, 2022were ~~$34.8~~$67.2 million ~~primarily related to biodigesters at two dairies and a pipeline~~ which serve as collateral for the Series A Preferred Unit totaling ~~$46.9~~$109.4 million. The Series A Preferred Units are not collateralized by any other assets or guarantees from Aemetis or its subsidiaries.

Stock-based compensation for employees

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718Compensation-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.

~~Table of Contents~~

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $285 thousand and $191 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $1.4 million and $826 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. Under ASU ~~2016-09~~ 2016-09Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments Accounting, we have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. 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.

During the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~ 2022 and ~~2020, none~~2021, the company granted 369,000 and ~~13,000~~no options, ~~were granted~~ respectively. The weighted average fair value calculations for the options granted during ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020~~these periods are based on the following assumptions:

	For the nine months ended September 30,						*For the nine months ended September 30, 2022*

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As a result of negative capital and negative operating results, and collateralization of substantially all of the company assets, the Company has been reliant on its senior secured lender to provide additional funding and has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to the senior secured lender. In order to meet its obligations during the next twelve months, the Company will need to either refinance the Company’s debt or receive the continued cooperation of its senior lender. This dependence on the senior lender raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to pursue the following strategies to improve the course of the business.

For the Keyes ~~plant,~~Plant, we plan to operate the plant and continue to improve financial performance by adopting new technologies or process changes that allow for energy efficiency, cost reduction or revenue enhancements, execute upon awarded grants that improve energy and operational efficiencies resulting in lower cost, lower carbon demands and overall margin improvement.

For ~~the ABGL biogas project,~~Aemetis Biogas we plan to operate the biogas digesters to capture and monetize biogas as well as continue to build new dairy digesters and extend the existing pipeline in order to capture the higher carbon credits available in California. Funding for continued construction is based upon ~~extending the existing Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement,~~ obtaining government guaranteed loans and executing on existing and new state grant programs.

For the Riverbank project, we plan to raise the funds necessary to construct and operate the Carbon Zero 1 plant ~~and the Riverbank Cellulosic Ethanol Facility~~ using loan guarantees and public financings based upon the licensed technology that generate federal and state carbon credits available for ultra-low carbon fuels utilizing lower cost, non-food advanced feedstocks to significantly increase margins.

For the ~~India plant,~~Kakinada Plant, we plan to ~~secure higher volumes of shipments of fuels at the India plant by developing the~~develop sales channels for domestic products as the costs of feedstock normalize against the price of diesel, as recently announced governmental incentives take effect to promote the blending of biodiesel, and ~~expanding~~as feedstocks such as refined animal tallow are used domestically and exported. Additionally, we are in the ~~existing domestic~~process of obtaining approval to export refined animal tallow and biodiesel produced using animal tallow into international markets ~~or exporting to North America markets.~~as the use of refined animal tallow received approval from the Pollution Control Board of India for production of biodiesel.

In addition to the above we plan to continue to locate funding for existing and new business opportunities through a combination of working with our senior lender, restructuring existing loan agreements, selling bonds in the taxable and tax-exempt markets, selling equity through the ATM and otherwise, selling the current ~~EB-5~~EB-5 Phase II offering, or by vendor financing arrangements.

Overview

~~Headquartered~~Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Cupertino, California, we are an international renewable natural gas, and renewable fuels ~~and byproducts~~ company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative negative carbon intensity products and technologies that replace traditional petroleum-based products. We operate in ~~two~~three reportable ~~geographic segments: “North America”~~segments “California Ethanol”, “Dairy Renewable Natural Gas”, and ~~“India.”~~“India Biodiesel”. We have other operating segments determined not to be reportable segments and are collectively represented by the “All Other” category. At Aemetis, our mission is to generate sustainable and innovative renewable fuel solutions that benefit communities and restore our environment. We do this through leading the low-carbon fuels industry by building a circular bioeconomy utilizing agricultural waste to produce advanced renewable fuels that produce less greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air quality.

~~Founded in 2006, we have completed Phase 1 and are expanding a~~Our California ~~biogas digester network and pipeline system to convert dairy waste gas into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). We own and operate~~Ethanol segment consists of a 65 million gallon per year ethanol production facility located in Keyes, California (the “Keyes Plant”). that we own and operate. In addition to low carbon renewable fuel ethanol, the Keyes Plant produces Wet Distillers Grains (“WDG”), Distillers Corn Oil (“DCO”), and Condensed Distillers Solubles (“CDS”), all of which are sold as animal feed to local dairies and ~~feedlots as animal feed.~~feedlots. In the ~~fourth~~third quarter of ~~2021, an~~2022, a Zebrex ethanol ~~membrane~~ dehydration system was commissioned, ata key first step in the electrification of the Keyes Plant, ~~a key part~~which will significantly reduce the use of ~~increasing the electrification and decreasing~~petroleum based natural gas ~~usage at~~as process energy. The electrification, along with the ~~facility. This project reduces greenhouse gas (“GHG”)~~future installation of a two-megawatt zero carbon intensity solar microgrid system and a mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) system will greatly reduce GHG emissions and decreases the carbon intensity of fuel produced at the Keyes Plant, allowing us to realize a higher price for the ethanol produced and sold.

~~During 2018,~~Our Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segment consists of our subsidiary, Aemetis Biogas, LLC (“ABGL”), which was formed to construct bio-methane anaerobic digesters at local dairies near the Keyes Plant, many of whom also purchase WDG produced at the Keyes Plant. The digesters are connected via aan underground private pipeline owned by ABGL to a gas cleanup and compression unit being built at the Keyes Plant to produce Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”). During the third quarter of 2020, ABGL completed construction on the first two dairy digesters along with the pipeline that carries bio-methane from these dairies to the Keyes Plant.RNG. Upon receiving the bio-methane from the dairies, ~~we remove~~impurities are removed, and the ~~impurities and convert it~~bio-methane is converted to negative carbon intensity RNG where it will be either injected into the ~~local~~statewide PG&E gas utility pipeline, supplied as ~~renewable~~ compressed ~~natural gas (“RCNG”)~~RNG that will service local trucking fleets, or used as renewable process energy at the Keyes Plant. ABGL has completed 35 miles of our California biogas digester network and pipeline system that converts waste dairy methane gas into RNG, including two operational dairies.

During the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2021, we announced our “Carbon Zero”~~2022, Aemetis completed construction and is in the process of commissioning a third dairy digester and centralized gas cleanup facility and utility gas interconnect located at the Keyes Plant where dairy biogas will be upgraded to RNG and injected into the utility pipeline. Upon receiving pathway certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the fuel is expected to be delivered into the Northern California gas delivery system. ABGL is also in the process of constructing several additional dairy digesters.

Our Carbon Zero biofuels production plants are designed to produce biofuels, including ~~renewable jet~~sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) and diesel fuel utilizing ~~cellulosic~~renewable hydrogen and non-edible renewable oils sourced from existing Aemetis biofuels plants and other sources. The first plant to be built in Riverbank, California, ~~“Carbon Zero 1”,~~ is expected to utilize hydroelectric and other renewable power available onsite to produce 4590 million gallons per year of ~~jet fuel,~~SAF, renewable diesel, and other byproducts. The plant is expected to supply the aviation and truck markets with ultra-low carbon renewable fuels to reduce GHG emissions and other pollutants associated with conventional petroleum-based fuels.
~~The Company is continuing to develop a biomass-to-fuel technology to build a carbon zero production facility.~~ By producing ultra-low carbon renewable fuels, the Company expects to capture higher value D3 ~~RINs~~Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and California’s LCFS credits.

~~We also own and operate~~Our India Biodiesel segment consist of the Kakinada Plant with a nameplate capacity of 150 thousand metric tons per year, or about 50 million gallons per year, producing high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin for customers in India and Europe. We believe the Kakinada Plant is one of the largest biodiesel production facilities in India on a nameplate capacity basis. The Kakinada Plant is capable of processing a variety of vegetable oils and animal fat waste feedstocks into biodiesel that meet international product standards. The Kakinada Plant also distills the crude glycerin byproduct from the biodiesel refining process into refined glycerin, which is sold to the pharmaceutical, personal care, paint, adhesive and other industries.

~~North America~~California Ethanol Revenue

Our revenue development strategy ~~in North America has historically relied on~~for our California Ethanol segment relies upon supplying ethanol into the transportation fuel market in Northern California and supplying feed products to dairy and other animal feed operations in Northern California. We are actively seeking higher value ~~markets~~ for our ethanol in an effort to improve our overall margins and to add incremental income to the ~~North America~~California Ethanol segment, including, ~~the development of the Carbon Zero Plants, the expansion of the Biogas Project, and~~ the implementation of the Solar Microgrid System, the installation of the ~~membrane~~Zebrex ethanol dehydration system and other energy efficiency technologies. We are also actively working with local dairy and feed potential customers to promote the value of our WDG product in an effort to strengthen demand for this product.

During the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, we produced five products at the Keyes Plant: denatured fuel ethanol, WDG, DCO, CO₂, and CDS. During the first quarter of 2020, we ~~started transitioning~~transitioned from selling the ethanol we produce to J.D. Heiskell pursuant to the J.D. Heiskell Purchase Agreement, to a model where the ethanol is sold directly to our fuel marketing customers. We own the ethanol stored in our finished goods tank. WDG continues to be sold to A.L. Gilbert and DCO is sold to other customers under the J.D. Heiskell Purchase Agreement. Smaller amounts of CDS were sold to various local third parties. We began selling CO₂ to Messer Gas in the second quarter of 2020. We began selling high-grade alcohol in March 2020 directly to various customers throughout the West Coast and we also produced and sold Aemetis hand sanitizer through our Aemetis Health Products, Inc. subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2020.

~~North American~~California Ethanol revenue is dependent on the price of ethanol, WDG, high-grade alcohol, and DCO. Ethanol pricing is influenced by local and national inventory levels, local and national ethanol production, imported ethanol, corn prices and gasoline demand, and is determined pursuant to a marketing agreement with a single fuel marketing customer and is generally based on daily and monthly pricing for ethanol delivered to the San Francisco Bay Area, California, as published by Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”), as well as quarterly contracts negotiated by our marketing customer with local fuel blenders. The price for WDG is influenced by the price of corn, the supply and price of distillers dried grains, and demand from the local dairy and feed markets and determined monthly pursuant to a marketing agreement with A.L. Gilbert and is generally determined in reference to the local price of dried distillers’ grains and other comparable feed products. ~~High-grade alcohol pricing is based on the supply and demand restrictions in the current market.~~ Our revenue is further influenced by the price of natural gas, our decision to operate the Keyes Plant at various capacity levels, conduct required maintenance, and respond to biological processes affecting output.

Dairy Renewable Natural Gas Revenue
In December 2018, we utilized our relationships with California’s Central Valley dairy farmers by signing leases and raising funds to construct dairy digesters, a 40 mile pipeline, and a biogas-to-RNG facility to initially use biogas to power our Keyes Plant and later deliver fuels for sale to utility gas pipeline. We are currently producing RNG from two digesters connected to 35 miles of pipeline, then flowing this gas to our RNG cleanup and compression hub at the Keyes Plant. The RNG upgrade unit at the Keyes Plant is designed to enable the production and delivery of utility-grade RNG for sale as transportation fuel to California customers via pipeline delivery.
In addition to the existing and operating dairy digesters, we currently have three additional dairy digesters that are under construction. We have 24 signed agreements with additional dairies to construct dairy digesters. Our revenue development strategy for the Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segment relies upon continuing to collect bio-methane gas from the existing dairy digesters, continuing to build out the network of dairy digesters, extending the pipeline in Northern California to grow the supply of RNG available for sale and utilizing the biogas-to-RNG upgrade unit to distribute utility-grade RNG to customers statewide. We plan to store the RNG until the LCFS credit pathway for each dairy has been established, after which we will sell the stored gas by delivering it into the utility gas pipeline.
India Biodiesel Revenue

Our revenue strategy in India is based on continuing to sell biodiesel to our bulk fuel customers, fuel station customers, mining customers, industrial customers and tender offers placed by Government Oil Marketing Companies (“OMCs”) for bulk purchases of fuels. ~~In 2020,~~Recently, the government of India updated the national biofuels policy and adopted a new tax on diesel to promote biodiesel blending. As a result, the OMCs are pricing the tenders ~~were delayed due~~at economically viable levels, allowing for biodiesel producers in India to COVID-19, and ultimately changed in format to allow for monthly bidding on volumes at a price set by the OMCs on an annual basis.

~~North America.~~*All Dairy Renewable Natural Gas revenue is intercompany.
California Ethanol. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated 73% of revenue from sales of ethanol, 21% from sales of WDG, and 5% from sales of corn oil, CDS, CO₂, and other sales. Plant production averaged 114% of the 55 million gallon per year nameplate capacity. The increase in revenues ~~during~~was due to the increase in volume of ethanol gallons sold to 15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 13.8 million for the same period ended September 30, 2021, while the price of ethanol per gallon increased slightly to $2.86 per gallon from $2.84 per gallon. The average price of WDG increased by 33% to $127 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2022 while WDG sales volume increased by 10% to 102 thousand tons in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 93 thousand tons in the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Dairy Renewable Natural Gas. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $308 thousand and $355 thousand, respectively, to an intercompany party. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2022 revenue compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to LCFS pathway being approved in the second quarter of 2021, which applied retroactively since the inception of the first two dairy digesters. For revenue on a ~~79% increase in average price~~comparable basis the dairy digesters produced and sold MMBTU of ~~ethanol to $2.84 per gallon, compared to $1.59 per gallon~~16.8 thousand and 15.8 thousand in the three months ended September 30, ~~2020, while the gallons of ethanol sold decreased to 13.8 million gallons from 15.0 million gallons. In~~2022 and 2021.

The increase in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to increases in stock compensation and salaries and wages as of $4.4 million, as two stock option grants occurred during the year and due to an increase in taxes, insurance, rent and utilities, of $0.5 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 stayed consistent at 11% compared to the corresponding period of 2021.
Other operating income is related to Riverbank sublease rental income, partially offset by a loss on lease termination caused by the termination of two finance leases.
Interest expense decreased ~~as working~~in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to principal debt payments made to Third Eye Capital in the first and second quarter of 2022, coupled with capitalizing interest on our capital ~~lines have been repaid~~projects. Debt related fees and amortization increased due to debt issuance costs and extension fees being incurred in 2022 related to extending the Third Eye Capital debt and obtaining the Revolving Loans. The decrease in accretion and other ~~income increased because~~expenses of the Series A Preferred Units was due to capitalized interest ~~income.~~related to the ABGL project increasing and offsetting accretion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 capitalized interest was $7.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Gain on debt extinguishment was related to the PPP loan being forgiven in the 2021. Gain on litigation arose from the settlement of the EdenIQ lawsuit in the second quarter. Other expense (income) change is related to a grant in the amount of $14.2 million received from the USDA's Biofuel Producer Program, created as part of the CARES Act, to compensate biofuel producers who experienced market losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We expect that our future available liquidity resources will consist primarily of cash generated from operations, remaining cash balances, borrowings available, if any, under our senior debt facilities and our subordinated debt facilities, and any additional funds raised through sales of equity. The use of proceeds from all equity raises and debt financings are subject to approval by our senior lender.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by the sale of equity, operations, and borrowings under various debt arrangements.

We launched an EB-5 Phase II funding in 2016, under which we expect to issue $50.8 million in additional EB-5 Notes on substantially similar terms and conditions as those issued under our EB-5 Phase I funding. On November 21, 2019, the minimum investment amount was raised from $0.5 million per investor to $0.9 million per investor. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, EB-5 Phase II funding in the amount of $4.0 million had been released from escrow to us. Our principal uses of cash have been to refinance indebtedness, fund operations, and for 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.

We operate in a volatile market in which we have limited control over the major components of input costs and product revenues and are making investments in future facilities and facility upgrades that improve the overall margin while lessening the impact of these volatile markets. As such, we expect cash provided by operating activities to fluctuate in future periods primarily because of changes in the prices for corn, ethanol, WDG, DCO, CDS, biodiesel, waste fats and oils, glycerin, 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.

As a result of negative capital and negative operating results, and collateralization of substantially all of the company assets, the Company has been reliant on its senior secured lender to provide additional ~~funding.~~funding and has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to the senior secured lender. In order to meet its obligations during the next twelve months, the ~~Company~~company will need to either refinance the ~~Company’s~~company's debt or receive the continued cooperation of its senior lender. This dependence on the senior lender raises substantial doubt about the ~~Company’s~~company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to pursue the following strategies to improve the course of the business.

For the Keyes Plant, we plan to operate the plant and continue to improve financial performance by adopting new technologies or process changes that allow for energy efficiency, cost reduction or revenue enhancements, execute upon awarded grants that improve energy and operational efficiencies resulting in lower cost, lower carbon demands and overall margin improvement.

For the ~~Biogas Project,~~ABGL project, we plan to operate the biogas digesters to capture and monetize biogas as well as continue to build new dairy digesters and extend the existing pipeline in order to capture the higher carbon credits available in California. Funding for continued construction is based upon, ~~extending the existing Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement,~~ obtaining government guaranteed loans and executing on existing and new state grant programs.

For the Riverbank project, we plan to raise the funds necessary to construct and operate the Carbon Zero 1 plant ~~and the Riverbank Cellulosic Ethanol Facility~~ using loan guarantees and public financings based upon the licensed technology that generate federal and state carbon credits available for ultra-low carbon fuels utilizing lower cost, non-food advanced feedstocks to significantly increase margins.

43
~~Table of Contents~~
For the ~~India plant,~~Kakinada Plant, we plan to ~~secure higher volumes of shipments of fuels at the India plant by developing the~~develop sales channels for domestic products as the costs of feedstock normalize against the price of diesel, as recently announced governmental incentives take effect to promote the blending of biodiesel, and ~~expanding~~as feedstocks such as refined animal tallow are used domestically and exported. Additionally, we are in the ~~existing domestic~~process of obtaining approval to export refined animal tallow and biodiesel produced using animal tallow into international markets ~~or exporting to North America markets.~~as the use of refined animal tallow received approval from the Pollution Control Board of India for production of biodiesel.

In addition to the above we plan to continue to locate funding for existing and new business opportunities through a combination of working with our senior lender, restructuring existing loan agreements, selling bonds in the taxable and tax-exempt markets, selling equity through the ATM and otherwise, selling the current EB-5 Phase II offering, or by vendor financing arrangements.

At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the outstanding balance of principal, interest and fees, net of discounts, on all Third Eye Capital Notes equaled ~~$117~~$151 million. The ~~current~~ maturity ~~date~~dates for ~~all of~~ the Third Eye Capital financing arrangements isare April 1, ~~2022, however,~~2023, for $104 million with the ~~Company has the right~~ability to extend ~~the maturity date of the Third Eye Capital Notes~~ to April 1, ~~2023 upon notice~~2024, March 1, 2025, for $25 million and ~~payment of a 1% extension fee, pursuant to Amendment No. 20. The GAFI notes were fully repaid in the first quarter of 2021.~~March 1, 2026, for $22 million.

As of the date of this report, the Company has $40.0 million additional borrowing capacity to fund future cash flow requirements under the Reserve Liquidity Notes due on April 1, ~~2022.~~2023.

We also rely on our working capital lines with Gemini and Secunderabad Oils in India to fund our commercial arrangements for the acquisitions of feedstock. We currently provide our own working capital for the Keyes Plant; Gemini and Secunderabad Oils currently provide us with working capital for the Kakinada Plant. The ability of Gemini, 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 and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 and estimates, defined as those policies and estimates 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 are: revenue recognition; recoverability of long-lived assets, Series A Preferred unit liability, and debt modification 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, ~~2020.~~2021.

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~~conducted 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, although remediation plans were initiated to address the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses over financial reporting as identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the disclosure controls and procedures along with the related internal controls over financial reporting were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is ~~accumulated~~compiled and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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.

As discussed in greater detail under Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we initiated a remediation plan to address the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of the fiscal year then ended. Our efforts to improve our internal controls are ongoing.

For a more comprehensive discussion of the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified by management as of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and the remedial measures undertaken to address ~~this~~these material ~~weakness,~~weaknesses, investors are encouraged to review Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 31, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court against defendant EdenIQ, Inc. (“EdenIQ”). The lawsuit was based on EdenIQ’s wrongful termination of a merger agreement that would have effectuated the merger of EdenIQ into a new entity that would be primarily owned by Aemetis. The lawsuit asserted that EdenIQ had fraudulently induced the Company into assisting EdenIQ to obtain EPA approval for a new technology that the Company would not have done but for the Company’s belief that the merger would occur. The relief sought included EdenIQ’s specific performance of the merger, monetary damages, as well as punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. In response to the lawsuit, EdenIQ filed a cross-complaint asserting causes of action relating to the Company’s alleged inability to consummate the merger, the Company’s interactions with EdenIQ’s business partners, and the Company’s use of EdenIQ’s name and trademark in association with publicity surrounding the merger. Further, EdenIQ named Third Eye Capital Corporation (“TEC”) as a defendant in a second amended cross-complaint alleging that TEC had failed to disclose that its financial commitment to fund the merger included terms that were not disclosed. Finally, EdenIQ claimed that TEC and the Company concealed material information surrounding the financing of the merger. By way of its cross-complaint, EdenIQ sought monetary damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs. In November 2018, the claims asserted by the Company were dismissed on summary judgment and the Company filed a motion to amend its claims, which remains pending. In December 2018, EdenIQ dismissed all of its claims prior to trial. In February 2019, the Company and EdenIQ each filed motions seeking reimbursement of attorney fees and costs associated with the litigation. On July 24, 2019, the court awarded EdenIQ a portion of the fees and costs it had sought in the amount of approximately $6.2 million and the Company recorded these fees based on the court order. The Company’s ability to amend its claims and present its claims to the court or a jury could materially affect the court’s decision to award EdenIQ its fees and costs. In addition to further legal motions and a potential appeal of the Court’s summary judgment order, the Company plans to appeal the court’s award of EdenIQ’s fees and costs. The Company ~~intends~~has been named in, various lawsuits or threatened actions that are incidental to ~~continue to vigorously pursue its legal claims~~our ordinary business. For additional information regarding such matters, see “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 5. Commitments and ~~defenses against EdenIQ.~~Contingencies - Legal Proceedings.”

Item 1A. Risk ~~Factors~~.Factors.

~~No change in~~Except as described below, there are no material changes to the risk factors since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2021.~~10, 2022. We urge you to read the risk factors contained therein.

Inflation, including as a result of commodity price inflation or supply chain constraints due to the war in Ukraine, may adversely impact our results of operations.
We have experienced inflationary impacts on key production inputs, feedstock, wages and other costs of labor, equipment, services, and other business expenses. Commodity prices and transportation costs in particular have risen significantly over the past year. Inflation and its negative impacts could escalate in future periods. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates.
Ukraine is the third largest exporter of grain in the world. Russia is one of the largest producers of natural gas and oil. The commodity price impact of the war in Ukraine has been a sharp rise in grain and energy prices, including corn and natural gas, two of our primary production input commodities. In addition, the war in Ukraine has and may continue to adversely affect global supply chains resulting in further commodity price inflation for our production inputs. Also, given high global grain prices, U.S. farmers may prefer to lock in prices and export additional volumes, reducing domestic grain supplies and resulting in further inflationary pressures.
In an inflationary environment, such as the current economic environment, depending on other economic conditions, we may be unable to raise prices of our fuels or products to keep up with the rate of inflation, which would reduce our profit margins. As a result, inflation may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

~~None.~~During the third quarter of 2022, we issued 113 thousand shares of our common stock to certain subordinated promissory note holders pursuant to the note holders’ warrant exercise at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

The above issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as sales of securities not involving any public offering.

No unresolved defaults on senior securities occurred during the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.
