<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I><U>Organization and Business</U></I>
&ndash; The consolidated financial statements include, for all periods presented, the accounts of Pacific Ethanol, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (&ldquo;Pacific Ethanol&rdquo;), and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Kinergy Marketing, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (&ldquo;Kinergy&rdquo;), Pacific Ag. Products, LLC, a California limited
liability company (&ldquo;PAP&rdquo;) and Pacific Ethanol Management Services Corp., a Delaware corporation, and including its
majority-owned subsidiary, New PE Holdco LLC (&ldquo;New PE Holdco&rdquo;), which owns the Plant Owners (as defined below) (collectively,
the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">The Company is the leading
marketer and producer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western United States. The Company also sells ethanol co-products, including
wet distillers grain (&ldquo;WDG&rdquo;), a nutritious animal feed, and syrup. Serving integrated oil companies and gasoline marketers
who blend ethanol into gasoline, the Company provides transportation, storage and delivery of ethanol through third-party service
providers in the Western United States, primarily in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho and Washington.
The Company had an 85% and 67% ownership interest in New PE Holdco, the owner of four ethanol production facilities, as of June
30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The facilities are near their respective fuel and feed customers, offering significant
timing, transportation cost and logistical advantages. The Company sells ethanol produced by the Pacific Ethanol Plants (as defined
below) and unrelated third parties to gasoline refining and distribution companies and sells its WDG to dairy operators and animal
feed distributors. In addition, the Company began producing and selling corn oil in June 2013 to poultry and biodiesel customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company manages the production and
operation of four ethanol production facilities, namely, Pacific Ethanol Madera LLC, Pacific Ethanol Columbia, LLC, Pacific Ethanol
Stockton, LLC and Pacific Ethanol Magic Valley, LLC (collectively, the &ldquo;Pacific Ethanol Plants&rdquo;) and their holding
company, Pacific Ethanol Holding Co. LLC (&ldquo;PEHC,&rdquo; and together with the Pacific Ethanol Plants, the &ldquo;Plant Owners&rdquo;).
PEHC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New PE Holdco. These four facilities have an aggregate annual ethanol production capacity
of up to 200 million gallons. As of June 30, 2013, three of the facilities were operating and one of the facilities was idled.
As market conditions change, the Company may increase, decrease or idle production at one or more operational facilities or resume
operations at any idled facility.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I><U>Reverse Stock Split</U></I> &ndash;
On May 14, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split. All share and per share information has been restated
to retroactively show the effect of this stock split.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I><U>Liquidity</U></I> &ndash; During
the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company funded its operations primarily from cash flow from operations, cash on hand, borrowings
under its credit facilities and various capital raising transactions in which it raised gross proceeds of $38,000,000 through the
issuances of senior unsecured notes, unsecured subordinated convertible notes and in connection with the exercise of warrants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s current available capital
resources consist of cash on hand and amounts available for borrowing under Kinergy&rsquo;s credit facility. In addition, the Plant
Owners have credit facilities for use in the operations of the Pacific Ethanol Plants. The Company expects that its future available
capital resources will consist primarily of its remaining cash balances, cash flow from operations, if any, amounts available for
borrowing, if any, under Kinergy&rsquo;s credit facility, cash generated from Kinergy&rsquo;s ethanol marketing business, fees
paid under the asset management agreement relating to the Company&rsquo;s operation of the Pacific Ethanol Plants and distributions,
if any, in respect of the Company&rsquo;s ownership interest in New PE Holdco.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in">The Company believes
that current and future available capital resources, revenues generated from operations, and other existing sources of liquidity,
including its credit facilities, will be adequate to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements
for at least the next twelve months. If, however, the Company&rsquo;s capital requirements or cash flow vary materially from its
current projections, if crush and commodity margins, which reflect ethanol and co-product sales prices relative to ethanol production
inputs such as corn and natural gas, decline in any material respect, or if other unforeseen circumstances occur, it may require
additional financing. The Company also may require additional capital to restart its Madera, California facility. The Company&rsquo;s
failure to raise capital, if needed, could restrict its growth, or hinder its ability to compete.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I><U>Accounts Receivable and Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts</U></I> &ndash; Trade accounts receivable are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts. The Company sells ethanol to gasoline refining and distribution companies and sells WDG to dairy operators and animal
feed distributors generally without requiring collateral.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts for balances that appear to have specific collection issues. The collection process is based on the age of the
invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. If, after a specified number of days, the Company
has been unsuccessful in its collection efforts, a bad debt allowance is recorded for the balance in question. Delinquent accounts
receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once uncollectibility has been determined. The factors considered
in reaching this determination are the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company&rsquo;s success in contacting
and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company&rsquo;s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
an impairment of ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Of the accounts receivable balance, approximately
$25,018,000 and $20,627,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were used as collateral under Kinergy&rsquo;s
working capital line of credit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $210,000 and $18,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31,
2012, respectively. The Company recorded net bad debt recoveries of $16,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013
and 2012, respectively. The Company recorded net bad debt expense of $192,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and
2012, respectively.</P>

Financial Statements</I></U><FONT STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; color: black"> </FONT>&ndash; The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule&nbsp;10-01 of Regulation&nbsp;S-X.
Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company&rsquo;s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. The accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated
financial statements are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company&rsquo;s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates are required as part of determining the consolidation of variable interest entities, fair value of convertible notes
and warrants, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated lives of property and equipment and intangibles, long-lived asset impairments,
valuation allowances on deferred income taxes and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events recognized in the
Company&rsquo;s financial statements or tax returns. Actual results and outcomes may materially differ from management&rsquo;s
estimates and assumptions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company concluded that at all times
since New PE Holdco&rsquo;s inception, New PE Holdco has been a variable interest entity because the other owners of New PE Holdco,
due to the Company&rsquo;s involvement through its contractual arrangements, have at all times lacked the power to direct the activities
that most significantly impacted its economic performance. Some of these activities include efficient management and operation
of the Pacific Ethanol Plants, sale of ethanol, the procurement of feedstock, sale of co-products and implementation of risk management
strategies. At the time of New PE Holdco&rsquo;s inception, however, the Company did not have an obligation to absorb losses or
receive benefits that could potentially be significant to New PE Holdco and, as a result, it was determined that the Company was
not New PE Holdco&rsquo;s primary beneficiary. Upon the Company&rsquo;s purchase of its 20% initial ownership interest in New PE
Holdco on October 6, 2010, the Company, through its ownership interest, had an obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits
that could potentially be significant to New PE Holdco. As a result, the Company then became the primary beneficiary of New PE
Holdco and began consolidating the financial results of New PE Holdco.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In January, March and June 2013, the Company
purchased an additional 13%, 3% and 2% of the ownership interests in New PE Holdco for $1,308,000, $331,000 and $197,000 in cash,
respectively, bringing its total ownership interest to 85% as of June 30, 2013.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Because the Company has a controlling financial
interest in New PE Holdco, it did not record any gain or loss on these purchases, but instead reduced the amount of noncontrolling
interest in variable interest entity on the consolidated balance sheets by an aggregate $10,923,000 and recorded the difference
of $9,087,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which represents the fair value of these purchases above the price paid by
the Company, to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Because New PE Holdco&rsquo;s results are
consolidated with the Company&rsquo;s financial results for financial reporting purposes, the acquisition of additional interests
in New PE Holdco did not impact the Company&rsquo;s reported consolidated net income or loss. However, the portion of New PE Holdco&rsquo;s
net income or loss that is allocated to the Company increased from 34% to 67% during 2012 and from 67% to 85% in 2013, thus changing
the net income or loss attributable to Pacific Ethanol after reducing the net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling
interests and the Company&rsquo;s earnings per share.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company recognized approximately $132,337,000
and $112,669,000 in net sales and $535,000 in net income and $11,163,000 in net loss attributed to New PE Holdco for the three
months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Had the Company held an 85% ownership interest in New PE Holdco, for the three
months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company&rsquo;s reported net income available to common stockholders would have been $735,000
and loss of $8,673,000, respectively, and income per share would have been $0.07 and loss per share of $1.51, respectively.</P>

30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Had the Company held an 85% ownership interest in New PE Holdco, for the six months ended June
30, 2013 and 2012, the Company&rsquo;s reported net loss available to common stockholders would have been $5,433,000 and $20,932,000,

operating results.</P>

<I>Cash Flow Hedges</I></U> &ndash; The Company uses derivative instruments to protect cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility
in commodity prices for periods of up to twelve months in order to protect gross profit margins from potentially adverse effects
of market and price volatility on ethanol sale and purchase commitments where the prices are set at a future date and/or if the
contracts specify a floating or index-based price for ethanol. In addition, the Company hedges anticipated sales of ethanol to
minimize its exposure to the potentially adverse effects of price volatility. These derivatives may be designated and documented
as cash flow hedges and effectiveness is evaluated by assessing the probability of the anticipated transactions and regressing
commodity futures prices against the Company&rsquo;s purchase and sales prices. Ineffectiveness, which is defined as the degree
to which the derivative does not offset the underlying exposure, is recognized immediately in cost of goods sold. For the three
and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not designate any of its derivatives as cash flow hedges.</P>

amount in shares of its common stock is subject to numerous equity conditions, the failure of any of which, unless waived, will
require that the Company pay an installment amount solely in cash. On the applicable installment date, the Company is required

Plant Debt</U></I> &ndash; On January 11, 2013, the Company used $21,500,000 of the gross proceeds of the January 2013 Financing
Transaction to purchase from certain lenders an aggregate amount of $21,500,000 of the Plant Owners&rsquo; tranche A-2 term loans.
The Company determined that the acquisition of the plant debt was a modification of terms as the lenders who held the acquired
plant debt were the same parties as those lenders under the January 2013 Notes. Based on the Company&rsquo;s review of the present
value of cash flows of the January 2013 Notes compared to the older plant debt, which resulted in a less than 10% change, the modification
was not significant and the Company did not record a gain or loss associated with the modification. The Company expensed certain
legal costs associated with the debt modification of approximately $408,000, rather than amortizing those expenses over the life
of the debt. Because the plant debt acquired is now held by Pacific Ethanol, this specific debt is eliminated in consolidation.</P>

to a maximum additional credit limit of $5,000,000. The Plant Owners have the right at any time, and from time to time, but subject
to limitations imposed by an intercreditor agreement, to prepay in whole or in part the revolving loans and tranche A-1 loans (and
the tranche A-2 loans following the payment in full of the revolving loans and tranche A-1 loans). However, in the event of any
prepayment of the tranche A-1 loans that have a maturity date of June 30, 2016, the Plant Owners must pay a premium equal to the
present value of all interest payments that would have accrued from the date of such payment through June 30, 2016, calculated
using a discount rate, applied quarterly, equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points. The credit
agreement also provides for mandatory prepayments in connection with certain customary events, including any sale of material assets;
however, certain mandatory prepayments are not subject to the prepayment premium. On January 4, 2013, the Plant Owners entered
into an amendment to the new revolving credit facility and extended the maturity date of the facility from June 25, 2013 to June
25, 2015. On March 28, 2013, the lenders approved $5,000,000 in additional availability for a maximum total credit limit of $15,000,000

Division (Case No.: 2:13-CV-01042-JAM-AC), naming Pacific Ethanol, Inc. as a defendant. The suit alleges infringement of a patent
assigned to GS CleanTech by virtue of certain corn oil separation technology in use at one or more of the ethanol production facilities
in which the Company has an interest, including Pacific Ethanol Stockton, LLC, located in Stockton, California. The complaint seeks
preliminary and permanent injunctions against the Company, prohibiting future infringement on the patent owned by GS CleanTech
and damages in an unspecified amount adequate to compensate GS CleanTech for the alleged patent infringement, but in any event
no less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the inventions of the patent, plus attorney&rsquo;s fees. The Company, however,
does not itself use any corn oil separation technology and therefore will be asking the court to dismiss it from the suit. Further,
although one of the Company&rsquo;s majority-owned subsidiaries does separate and market corn oil, the Company and its majority-owned
subsidiaries strongly disagree that any of the subsidiaries use corn oil separation technology that infringes the patent owned
by GS CleanTech. The Company has since answered the complaint and counterclaimed that the patent claims at issue are invalid and
that the Company is not infringing.</P>

the warrants issued September 26, 2012, the warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo Binomial Lattice-Based valuation methodology,
adjusted for marketability restrictions. The warrants issued September 26, 2012, did not contain any anti-dilution protection features.
As a result, the warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model. Of the various inputs used, the volatility and the
current price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock most significantly impact the fair value adjustments of the warrants. As the
Company&rsquo;s common stock increases or decreases, the valuation of the warrants will increase or decrease, respectively. As
the estimated volatility of the Company&rsquo;s common stock increases or decreases, the valuation of the warrants will increase
or decrease, respectively. These changes may result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements from period to period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">Our ownership interest in the Pacific Ethanol
Plants is now at 85%. At current production margins, the Pacific Ethanol Plants are operating profitably and contributing positively
to our overall financial position. Our fourth quarter is a seasonally slow quarter, but we expect a continued increase in the demand
for ethanol and a strong margin environment in 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">As noted above, we began producing corn
oil at our Magic Valley facility in June 2013, allowing us to diversify our revenue and providing immediate incremental gross profit.
We expect to begin producing corn oil in nominal amounts at our Stockton facility in the third quarter of 2013, and expect to produce
corn oil in meaningful amounts at both facilities by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013. We are evaluating whether and when
to implement corn oil production technology at the remaining two Pacific Ethanol Plants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">We continue to focus on increasing operating
efficiencies and improving yields at the Pacific Ethanol Plants. To this end, we installed yield-enhancing Cellunators<SUP>TM</SUP>
technology at our Stockton facility, allowing us to increase yields by increasing available starch for conversion. This technology
also may allow us to produce cellulosic corn ethanol.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">The regulatory environment continues to
support the long-term demand for renewable fuels. California&rsquo;s Low-Carbon Fuel Standard requires refiners to reduce the carbon
intensity of their fuels by 10% between 2011 and 2020, which we believe is an aggressive requirement that will necessitate a significant
amount of low-carbon fuel to displace gasoline in the California fuel supply. We continue to reduce energy use at the Pacific Ethanol
Plants to lower the carbon intensity of our ethanol. We believe that we have a significant advantage in the marketplace because
we produce among the lowest-carbon ethanol commercially produced in the United States which enables us to capture a premium for
ethanol we produce.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">We also continue to diversify our feedstock
by using a blend of corn and sorghum, which reduces feedstock costs and reduces the carbon output of ethanol we produce. The United
States Department of Agriculture anticipates a record 2013-2014 corn crop, but we are uncertain how the new crop will affect our
ethanol production and intend to operate the Pacific Ethanol Plants with flexibility in anticipation of the new crop.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 38.5pt">Our 2013 strategic goals include further
improving operating efficiencies at the Pacific Ethanol Plants; continuing to diversify our revenue and feedstock; and continuing
to increase the value of our produced ethanol by further reducing its carbon intensity, all of which are directed at supporting
sustained profitable growth.</P>

financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon the portrayal of our financial
condition and results of operations. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following require estimates and
assumptions that require complex, subjective judgments by management that can materially impact the portrayal of our financial
condition and results of operations: revenue recognition; consolidation of variable interest entity; warrants and convertible notes
carried at fair value; impairment of long-lived and intangible assets; and allowance for doubtful accounts. These significant accounting

The increases in our gross margin and our gross profit for these periods were primarily due to significantly improved crush and
commodity margins and higher production yields. Crush and commodity margins reflect ethanol and co-product sales prices relative
to ethanol production inputs such as corn and natural gas.</P>

increased by $0.9 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.1 million for the same period in 2012.
Interest expense, net increased by $1.5 million to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $6.0 million for the
same period in 2012. The increase in interest expense, net for these periods is primarily due to increased average debt balances,
in part resulting from the issuance of our senior unsecured notes in January 2013 and our convertible notes in March 2013. Proceeds
from these issuances were used to repay certain higher interest rate bearing debt, reducing consolidated interest expense, which,
however, was partially offset by an increase in amortization of debt discounts resulting from these issuances.</P>

to noncontrolling interest in variable interest entity relates to our consolidated treatment of New PE Holdco, a variable interest
entity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we consolidated the entire income statement of New PE Holdco.
However, because we owned only 85% and 34% of New PE Holdco for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we
reduced our consolidated net loss for the noncontrolling interest, which was the ownership interest that we did not own. The decreases
in net loss for the periods are due to the increase in our ownership interest in New PE Holdco and caused by the substantial increases
in our gross profit for the periods, as discussed above, much of which was generated at the Pacific Ethanol Plant level.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">During the six months ended June 30, 2013,
we funded our operations primarily from cash flow from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facilities and various
capital raising transactions in which we raised gross proceeds of $38.0 million through the issuance of senior unsecured notes,
unsecured subordinated convertible notes and in connection with the exercise of warrants. These funds were used to fund our operations,
purchase Pacific Ethanol Plant debt of $27.1 million, make other debt related payments of $12.0 million and purchase additional
ownership interests in New PE Holdco for $1.8 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our current available capital resources
consist of cash on hand and amounts available for borrowing under Kinergy&rsquo;s credit facility. In addition, the Plant Owners
have credit facilities for use in the operations of the Pacific Ethanol Plants. We expect that our future available capital resources
will consist primarily of our remaining cash balances, amounts available for borrowing, if any, under Kinergy&rsquo;s credit facility,
cash generated from Kinergy&rsquo;s ethanol marketing business, fees paid under our asset management agreement relating to our
operation of the Pacific Ethanol Plants and distributions, if any, in respect of our ownership interest in New PE Holdco.</P>

and future available capital resources, revenues generated from operations, and other existing sources of liquidity, including
our credit facilities, will be adequate to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next twelve months. If, however, our capital requirements or cash flow vary materially from our current projections, if crush
and commodity margins, which reflect ethanol and co-product sales prices relative to ethanol production inputs such as corn and
natural gas, decline in any material respect, or if other unforeseen circumstances occur, we may require additional financing.
We also may require additional capital to restart our Madera, California facility. Our failure to raise capital, if needed, could
restrict our growth or hinder our ability to compete.</P>

for an aggregate amount of up to $30.0 million, with an optional accordion feature for up to an additional $10.0 million. The credit
facility expires on December 31, 2015. Interest accrues under the credit facility at a rate equal to (i)&nbsp;the three-month London
Interbank Offered Rate (&ldquo;LIBOR&rdquo;), plus (ii) a specified applicable margin ranging between 2.50% and 3.50%. The credit
facility&rsquo;s monthly unused line fee is 0.50% of the amount by which the maximum credit under the facility exceeds the average
daily principal balance. Payments that may be made by Kinergy to Pacific Ethanol as reimbursement for management and other services
provided by Pacific Ethanol to Kinergy are limited under the terms of the credit facility to $0.9 million per fiscal quarter in
2013, $1.0 million per fiscal quarter in 2014 and $1.1 million per fiscal quarter in 2015.</P>

each quarter thereafter, Kinergy and PAP are collectively required to generate aggregate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, or EBITDA, of $450,000 for the quarter and aggregate EBITDA of $1.1 million for each two consecutive quarters.
These amounts are required through December 31, 2013. In 2014, the required EBITDA amounts increase to $0.5 million per quarter
and $1.3 million for each two consecutive quarters. Further, for all monthly periods, Kinergy and PAP must collectively maintain
a fixed charge coverage ratio (calculated as a twelve-month rolling EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, capital expenditures,
principal payments of indebtedness, indebtedness from capital leases and taxes paid during such twelve-month rolling period) of
at least 2.0 and are prohibited from incurring any additional indebtedness (other than specific intercompany indebtedness) or making
any capital expenditures in excess of $0.1 million absent the lender&rsquo;s prior consent. Kinergy and PAP&rsquo;s obligations
under the credit facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of their assets in favor of the lender.</P>

the Plant Owners entered into a new revolving credit facility that provides for up to an additional $10.0 million. The Plant Owners
may request increases in the amount of the facility in increments of not less than $1.0 million, up to a maximum additional credit
limit of $5.0 million. The Plant Owners have the right at any time, and from time to time, but subject to limitations imposed by
an intercreditor agreement, to prepay in whole or in part the revolving loans and tranche A-1 loans (and the tranche A-2 loans
following the payment in full of the revolving loans and tranche A-1 loans). However, in the event of any prepayment of the tranche
A-1 loans that have a maturity date of June 30, 2016, the Plant Owners must pay a premium equal to the present value of all interest
payments that would have accrued from the date of such payment through June 30, 2016, calculated using a discount rate, applied
quarterly, equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points. The credit agreement also provides for mandatory
prepayments in connection with certain customary events, including any sale of material assets; however, certain mandatory prepayments
are not subject to the prepayment premium. On January 4, 2013, the Plant Owners entered into an amendment to the new revolving
credit facility and extended the maturity date of the facility from June 25, 2013 to June 25, 2015. On March 28, 2013, the lenders
approved $5.0 million in additional availability for a maximum total credit limit of $15.0 million under the facility. As of June

per share and expire in January 2018. The notes mature on March 30, 2016 and bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum, subject
to adjustment. If the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the January 2013 Notes is not less than $10.8 million by January
15, 2014, the interest rate will increase commencing on January 15, 2014 by 1% per annum on each of January 15, April 15, July

issue equity or equity-linked securities, conduct certain sales of assets or incur certain indebtedness, then we will be obligated
to prepay the January notes using all net cash proceeds from the transaction, provided that any proceeds received in connection
with an equity-linked issuance must be used to either prepay the notes or purchase certain outstanding debt issued by the Plant
Owners. Interest on the notes is payable in cash in arrears on the fifteenth day of each month beginning on March 15, 2013. Subject
to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, at our option, we may elect to pay interest due and payable in shares of our
common stock, provided that the interest rate applicable to any outstanding amounts we pay in shares of common stock will increase
by 2% per annum from the then applicable interest rate for the period for which such interest is paid. The number of shares to

earlier, the Series A and B Notes will mature on March 28, 2014. The Series A and B Notes bear interest at 5%&nbsp;per annum, compounded
monthly. All amounts due under the Series A and B Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the
holders into shares of our common stock at a conversion price, or Fixed Conversion Price, which is subject to adjustment as described
below.</P>

before each installment date, we are required to deliver a notice electing to effect a redemption in cash or a conversion of the
installment amount due on the installment date into shares of our common stock. Our ability to pay an installment amount in shares
of our common stock is subject to numerous equity conditions, the failure of any of which, unless waived, will require that we
pay an installment amount solely in cash. On the applicable installment date, we are required to deliver to the holders of the
Series A and B Notes an amount of shares of common stock equal to that portion of the installment amount being converted divided
by the lesser of the then existing Fixed Conversion Price and 85% of the Market Price on the installment date, or the Company Conversion
Price. The Market Price on any given date is equal to the lesser of (i) the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately
preceding the date of determination, and (ii) the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the ten trading
day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination.</P>

date, the holder may only convert up to three future installment amounts. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, there
will be no limitation on the number of installment amounts that the holder may accelerate and the Company Conversion Price applicable
to conversions made pursuant to this acceleration feature will equal the lesser of (i) the Company Conversion Price on the current

&ldquo;disclosure controls and procedures,&rdquo; as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&rsquo;s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company&rsquo;s
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded as of June 30, 2013 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 38.5pt">Management does not expect
that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations
in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that
misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will
be detected.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 38.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 38.5pt">These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or
mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.</P>

Corporation, or GS CleanTech, filed a suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento
Division (Case No.: 2:13-CV-01042-JAM-AC), naming Pacific Ethanol, Inc. as a defendant. The suit alleges infringement of a patent
assigned to GS CleanTech by virtue of certain corn oil separation technology in use at one or more of the ethanol production facilities
in which we have an interest, including Pacific Ethanol Stockton, LLC, located in Stockton, California. The complaint seeks preliminary
and permanent injunctions against us, prohibiting future infringement on the patent owned by GS CleanTech and damages in an unspecified
amount adequate to compensate GS CleanTech for the alleged patent infringement, but in any event no less than a reasonable royalty
for the use made of the inventions of the patent, plus attorney&rsquo;s fees. We, however, do not use any corn oil separation technology
and therefore will be asking the court to dismiss us from the suit. Further, although one of our majority-owned subsidiaries does
separate and market corn oil, we and our majority-owned subsidiaries strongly disagree that any of the subsidiaries use corn oil
separation technology that infringes the patent owned by GS CleanTech. We have since answered the complaint and counterclaimed
that the patent claims at issue are invalid and that we are not infringing.</P>
