and CEO, stated: &ldquo;During the second quarter, we made significant progress on our 2012 strategic objectives. We acquired an
additional 33% ownership interest in the plants at a discount to our last purchase price and at an even greater discount to replacement
cost, and we now hold a 67% ownership interest. We amended the plant credit agreement, which provides additional liquidity for
plant operations. In addition, we will diversify our revenue stream in production with the implementation of corn oil separation
at the first of our four plants.&rdquo;</P>

for the second quarter of 2011. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $8.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Management believes that certain financial
measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (&ldquo;GAAP&rdquo;) are useful measures of operations.
The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as unaudited earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and fair value
adjustments. The table at the end of this release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributed
to Pacific Ethanol, Inc. Management provides an Adjusted EBITDA measure so that investors will have the same financial information
that management uses, which may assist investors in properly assessing the company&rsquo;s performance on a period-over-period
basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net
income (loss) or any other measure of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities
as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should
not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company&rsquo;s results as reported under GAAP.</P>
