<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.8 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;We are pleased with our first quarter
2013 results as they reflect several key improvements,&rdquo; stated Neil Koehler, the company&rsquo;s president and CEO. &ldquo;Higher
ethanol prices and more favorable market conditions in the second half of the quarter drove significant increases in both revenue
and gross profit in the first quarter as compared to the prior year&rsquo;s period. When combined with the beneficial impact of
our increased plant ownership in the first quarter and our continued efforts to control expenses, these factors resulted in a positive
adjusted EBITDA. We are optimistic about the second quarter as April production margins demonstrated an even more material improvement,
especially when compared to the historic lows experienced in 2012.&rdquo;</P>

quarter of 2013, compared to $197.7 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable
to a higher average price per gallon of ethanol sold. The average price per gallon of ethanol sold was $2.60 for the first quarter
of 2013, compared to $2.34 in the first quarter of 2012.</P>

Loss</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.8 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 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 warrant inducements
and fair value adjustments. The table at the end of this release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net 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
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>
