1. General

Nature of Activities

Founded in2006 and headquartered in Cupertino, California, Aemetis, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis referred to herein as “Aemetis,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is an international renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company focused on the operation, acquisition, development, and commercialization of innovative technologies to produce low and negative carbon intensity renewable fuels that lower fuel costs and reduce emissions. We do this by building a local circular bioeconomy using agricultural products and waste materials to produce low carbon, advanced renewable fuels that reduce greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions and improve air quality. Our current operations include:

►California Ethanol – We own and operate a65 million gallon per year capacity ethanol production facility 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”). WDG and CDS are sold to local dairies or feedlots as animal feed, and DCO is sold to commodity aggregators as feedstock for the production of Renewable Diesel. The Keyes Plant also sells CO₂ captured from the fermentation process to produce commercial grade CO₂ for the food, beverage, and other industries. We are implementing several energy efficiency initiatives at the Keyes Plant focused on reducing operating costs and lowering the carbon intensity of our ethanol to increase revenues.

►California Dairy Renewable Natural Gas – We produce Renewable Natural Gas ("RNG") in central California. We currently havetwelve anaerobic digesters that produce biogas from dairy waste, a36-mile biogas collection pipeline leading to a central RNG production facility, and an interconnection to inject the RNG into the utility natural gas pipeline for delivery for use as transportation fuel. We are actively expanding our RNG production, withtwo additional dairy digesters under construction, agreements with overfifty dairies, and environmental review completed for an additional24 miles of biogas pipeline. We are also building our own RNG fuel dispensing station, which is planned to begin operating in2026.

►India Biodiesel – We own and operate a plant in Kakinada, India (“Kakinada Plant”) with a capacity to produce about80 million gallons per year of high-quality distilled biodiesel from a variety of vegetable oils and animal waste feedstocks. The Kakinada Plant isone of the largest biodiesel production facilities in India. The Kakinada Plant refines and converts the crude glycerin, a byproduct from biodiesel production, into refined glycerin, which meets the quality standards for selling into the pharmaceutical, personal care, paint, adhesive, and other sectors, supporting their manufacturing and production needs.

Our current and planned businesses produce renewable fuels and reduce emissions, generating revenues from biofuel sales, federal Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") credits (referred to as*"D3* RINs"), federal Section45Z production tax credits (“Section45Z PTCs,” "PTCs"), California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits, and other investment and production tax credits.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aemetis, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We consolidate all entities in which we hold a "controlling financial interest." For voting interest entities, we are considered to hold a controlling financial interest when we are able to exercise control over the investees' operating and financial decisions. For variable interest entities (VIEs), the determination of which is based on the amount and characteristics of the entity's equity, we are considered to hold a controlling financial interest when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is the party that has both: (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact that VIE's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb the losses of, or the right to receive the benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of* March 31, 2026*, the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025*, the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025*, and the consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025*, are unaudited. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of* December 31, 2025*, is derived from the2025 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

The results of operations for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026*, arenot necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year, or any future periods.

In thefourth quarter of2025 we adopted a policy to account for transferable PTCs by analogy to the grant model within International Accounting Standards20 (IAS20), to recognize the credits when earned upon production and dispensing of eligible RNG and ethanol. We presented alltwelve months of2025 PTC earnings in thefourth quarter of2025 as income separate from revenue in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Starting in thefirst quarter of2026, PTCs are presented within Revenues.

UBPL maintains a factoring arrangement to leverage certain trade receivables and receive short-term funding from athird-party financial institution. UBPL retains the risk of nonpayment on the transferred receivables, so the arrangement doesnot meet the criteria for sale accounting under ASC860, and we account for the funding as secured borrowing. Under this arrangement, UBPL receives cash advances that are recorded as debt, and the funds received are net of 8.1% interest that is recorded as interest expense. UBPL retains the accounts receivable balances in its balance sheet. During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026*, UBPL received a total of $6.9 million in draws and repaid $3.6 million under this agreement.

8. Leases

We are a party to operating leases for our corporate office in Cupertino, modular offices, land leases and laboratory facilities. We have also entered into several finance leases for mobile equipment and for the Riverbank Industrial Complex. These finance leases have a purchase option at the end of the term that we are reasonably certain we will exercise, so the leases are classified as finance leases. All of our leases aside from our land leases have remaining terms ofone year to 13 years; the land leases have remaining terms over 20 years. We apply an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of12 months or less off the balance sheet, and recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as we incur the expenses.

We evaluate leases in accordance with ASC842 –Lease Accounting. When discount rates implicit in leases cannot be readily determined, we use the applicable incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to perform lease classification tests on lease components and to measure lease liabilities and right of use ("ROU") assets. The incremental borrowing rate we use is based on weighted average baseline rates commensurate with our secured borrowing rate, over a similar term. At each reporting period when there is a new lease initiated, the rates established for that quarter are used.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance withASC718,* Compensation - Stock Compensation*, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, directors, and consultants based on estimated fair value on the grant date. We estimate the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize that fair value as an expense over the vesting period of each grant using the straight-line method. The Black-Scholes valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including 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, expected dividends, and expected forfeitures. We use the simplified calculation of expected term described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic14, Share-Based Payment. Volatility is based on an average of the historical volatility of Aemetis, Inc. common stock during the period of time preceding the date of option issuance that matches the term of the option grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the treasury maturity term corresponding with the expected life of the option. We use an expected dividend yield of zero, as we donot anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected forfeitures are assumed to bezero due to the small number of plan participants. To the extent actual forfeitures occur, the difference is recorded as an adjustment in the scheduled expense during the period of the forfeiture.

The weighted average fair value calculations for the options granted during thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025*, are based on the following assumptions:

For the three months ended March 31,
Description20262025
Dividend-yield · - · % · - · %
Risk-free interest rate3.84%4.30%
Expected volatility111.15%113.50%
Expected life (years)5.815.81
Market value per share on grant date$2.64$2.73
Fair value per option on grant date$2.21$2.32

During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025*, we recognized $1.7 million and $2.3 million of stock-based compensation expense. During these periods we granted 379 thousand and 369 thousand shares of common stock under the2019 Stock Plan, respectively, with a fair value on date of grant of $2.64 and $2.73, respectively, per share.

As of* March 31, 2026*, we had $7.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense for option issuances, which we will amortize over the remaining vesting period for each applicable grant, which has a weighted average of 2.32 years as of* March 31, 2026*.

10. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On* December 31, 2025,the maturity dates ontwo* accredited investor's Subordinated Notes were extended to* June 30, 2026.In connection with the extension, we granted the noteholders warrants exercisable for the purchase of 113 thousand shares of Aemetis, Inc. common stock with a term oftwo years and an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants were fully exercised by the noteholders in January 2026.*

11. Aemetis Biogas LLC–** Series A Preferred Financing**

On* December 20, 2018,Aemetis Biogas LLC ("ABGL") entered into a Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement for the sale of Series A Preferred Units to Protair-X Americas, Inc., with Third Eye Capital acting as an agent. ABGL is authorized to issue 11,000,000 common units and 6,000,000 convertible, redeemable, secured, preferred membership units (the “Series A Preferred Units”). ABGL issued 6,000,000 common units to Aemetis, Inc. at a stated value of $5.00 per common unit, and 5,000,000 common units of ABGL are held in reserve as potential conversion units issuable to the Preferred Unit holder upon certain triggering events. From inception of the agreement through2022,* ABGL issued 6,000,000 Series A Preferred Units in exchange for $30.0 million in funding, reduced by a redemption of 20,000 Series A Preferred Units for $0.3 million. The original Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement included requirements for preference payments and mandatory redemption, grant of a security interest to the Preferred Unit holder in all assets of ABGL and its subsidiaries in connection with the preference payments due under the agreement, and several operating covenants.

The Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement has been amended multiple times. In* February 2026,ABGL entered into an agreement titled Eleventh Waiver and Amendment to Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement ("PUPA Eleventh Amendment") with an effective date of December 31, 2025,that, among other provisions, extends the date by which ABGL is required to redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units to April 30, 2026,and changes the aggregate redemption price to $114.7 million, which reflects the payment in December 2025and includes a $2 million incremental fee for the PUPA Eleventh Amendment. The PUPA Eleventh Amendment further provides that if ABGL doesnot* redeem the Series A Preferred Units by the redemption date, ABGL will enter into a credit agreement with Protair-X and Third Eye Capital effective as of* May 1, 2026,and maturing May 1, 2027,as shown in the form attached to the PUPA Eleventh Amendment, and specifies that entry into such credit agreement will satisfy the obligation to redeem the Series A Preferred Units. The credit agreement would bear an interest rate equal to the greater of (i)prime rate plus 10.0% and (ii)16.0%. We evaluated this and prior similar amendments in accordance with ASC470* "Debt" and applied troubled debt restructuring accounting, resulting inno gain or loss from the execution of the particular amendment. In addition, consistent with ASC470-60, we accreted the amount of principal and interest due using the effective interest method from the starting liability on the effective date of the amendment to the amount that would be due as of the maturity date of the credit agreement. Following this methodology, we recorded Series A Preferred Unit liabilitiesof $128.6 million and $126.9 million as long-term liabilities as of* March 31, 2026*, and* December 31, 2025*, respectively.

SeeNote15* Subsequent Events* for details regarding the Twelfth Waiver and Amendment to Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement ("PUPA Twelfth Amendment").

Variable interest entity assessment

After consideration of ABGL’s operations and the above agreement in2018, we concluded that ABGL didnot have enough equity to finance its activities without additional 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 our ownership interest in all of the outstanding common units of ABGL, our 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. ABGL's total assets as of* March 31, 2026*, were $113.0 million which serve as collateral for the obligations of ABGL to the holders of Series A Preferred Units.

16. Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This approach to presentation is qualified by the following additional descriptions of our financial position.

Debt

We have a substantial amount of accumulated debt, and our senior lender has a security interest in substantially all of our assets. We have been reliant on our senior secured lender to provide extensions to the maturity dates of its debt facilities and have been required to remit substantially all excess cash from tax credit sales as payments of that debt, in addition to other periodic payments. In order to meet our obligations during the nexttwelve months, we will need to refinance debt with our senior lender for amounts that are due on demand in the nexttwelve months or receive its continued cooperation.

Operational Cash Flows

We donot currently generate positive cash flow from our consolidated operations. We are reliant on obtaining additional liquidity to satisfy our operating obligations for the nexttwelve months. We are pursuing the following strategies to improve liquidity:

19

California Ethanol

Optimize Operations. We plan to continue to operate the Keyes Plant and to optimize operating parameters and purchase contracts based on market conditions.

Reduce Natural Gas Use and Reduce Ethanol Carbon Intensity. We are constructing a Mechanical Vapor Recompression ("MVR") system that is expected to significantly reduce the Keyes Plant's natural gas consumption and lower the carbon intensity of the ethanol produced at the Keyes Plant. This will reduce overall fuel costs and volatility and increase income from LCFS credits and Section45Z production tax credits ("PTCs"). The MVR system is expected to become operational in2026.

Monetize New Section45Z* Tax Credits*. The Keyes Plant started earning Section45Z PTCs effective* January 1, 2025,and we are in the process of monetizing the credits earned during2025* and2026. The recent federal tax and budget legislation referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that was enacted in* July 2025contains provisions that are expected to increase our future income from Section45Z* PTCs for ethanol production, including an increase in the credit amount earned for each gallon of ethanol we produce and an extension of the term of the credits to a total offive years.

Evaluate New Technologies. We continue to evaluate other opportunities to improve the Keyes Plant's financial performance by adopting new technologies or process changes that further improve energy efficiency, decrease feedstock costs, increase coproduct yields, and create other margin enhancements.

California Renewable Natural Gas

Operate Existing Digesters. As of* March 31, 2026,the RNG segment operatestwelve* anaerobic digesters that produce biogas from manure waste received fromfifteen dairies.

Construct New Digesters. We plan to continue to build new dairy digesters that increase cash flow from operations as allowed by capital availability. We have agreements with overfifty dairies and expect the next set of digesters to begin producing biogas in thethird quarter of2026. We are seeking new loans and other forms of financing from a variety of sources to facilitate additional digester construction.

Increase LCFS Credit Revenue. The California Air Resource Board ("CARB") has approved provisional pathways for the RNG produced fromseven of our operating dairy digesters. Dairies with approved provisional LCFS pathways generate more LCFS credits than dairies with temporary pathways. We generate LCFS credits under lower temporary pathways atfive operating digesters that have applications for provisional pathways pending with CARB. In addition, CARB's recently approved amendments to the LCFS regulation that became effective* July 1, 2025,*are expected to reduce the oversupply of LCFS credits and lead to higher LCFS credit prices in the future.

Monetize New Section45Z* Tax Credits*. Our RNG production started earning Section45Z production tax credits effective* January 1, 2025.We began monetizing the2025* credits in* December 2025,and we are planning to continue to monetize2026* and later credits on a regular basis. The recent federal tax and budget legislation referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that was enacted in* July 2025contains provisions that are expected to increase our future income from Section45Z* tax credits for RNG production, including an increase in the credit amount earned for each MMBtu of RNG we produce and an extension of the term of the credits to a total offive years.

India Biodiesel

Continue Sales to OMCs. We plan to continue to operate the Kakinada Plant to produce biodiesel and glycerin and to sell the biodiesel to government-owned Oil Marketing Companies ("OMCs") to help them achieve government mandates to increase the percentage of biodiesel used in India as a percentage of total diesel uses.

Expand Operations and Plan for IPO. We have hired a new executive team in India to help develop plans for additional growth of our India business and to execute on a potential initial public offering ("IPO") of stock in our India subsidiary.

Maintain Self-Sustaining Cash Flow. Our India business has been self-sustaining in recent years from a cash and liquidity perspective, and we expect this to continue.

Financing

While we are implementing our plans to improve liquidity, we have been raising cash for operations by selling equity through our at-the-market stock registration, and we expect to continue to do so. We also plan to seek additional funding for existing and new business opportunities through a combination of working with our senior lender, restructuring or refinancing existing loan agreements, entering into additional debt agreements for specific projects, obtaining project specific equity and debt for development projects, and obtaining additional debt from the current EB-5 Phase II offering.

Summary

Notwithstanding our plans to improve liquidity and the favorable recent events described above, based on the extent of our debt and reliance on our senior secured lender, along with expected near-term shortfalls in cash flow from operations, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern over the nexttwelve months.
