and CEO, stated: &ldquo;Our first quarter 2014 results reflect the company&rsquo;s exceptional performance in both production and
marketing at a time of overall favorable market conditions in the industry. Our operating results allowed us to significantly reduce
debt and improve our cash position, further strengthening our balance sheet. I am thrilled to announce that today we commenced
ethanol production at our Madera plant. We have achieved this important milestone of bringing all 200 million gallons of annual
operating capacity back online.&nbsp;The company is in a strong position to meet the increasing demand for low-carbon renewable
fuels and to continue to grow the business.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Fair value adjustments for the first quarter
of 2013 were $35.8 million due to the significant increase in the price of the company&rsquo;s common stock during the quarter,
and therefore a corresponding increase in the value of the company&rsquo;s outstanding warrants. As these non-cash fair value
adjustments were not tax deductible, the company generated taxable income for the quarter and recorded income tax expense of $3.3
million, reflecting the company&rsquo;s use of a portion of its net tax assets, resulting in no tax liability for the first quarter
of 2014.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt 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, income taxes, depreciation and amortization 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
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>
