A — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description
of Business

Global
Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”,
“we”, “us” or “our”) is a U.S.-based integrated agricultural-energy biofuels company that holds
assets across feedstocks and plant genetics, agronomics, cultivation, and regulatory approvals, commercialization, and downstream
biorefining and storage. The Company is focused on the development and refining of non-food based bio-feedstocks and has a proprietary
investment in camelina sativa (“Camelina”), a fast growing, low input and ultra-low carbon intensity crop used as a
feedstock for renewable fuels. The Company holds its Camelina assets (including all related intellectual property related rights
and approvals) and operates its Camelina business through a subsidiary, Sustainable Oils Inc., a Delaware corporation.

In
2018 and 2019 the Company pursued the acquisition of a crude oil refinery in Bakersfield, California with the objective of retrofitting
it to produce renewable diesel from Camelina and other non-food feedstocks. On May 7, 2020 the Company completed the acquisition
of the targeted refinery (the “Bakersfield Biorefinery”). The retrofitting of the refinery is expected to be completed
in the first quarter of 2022. The Company has entered into a product offtake agreement with a major oil company for the majority
of the renewable diesel to be produced at the Bakersfield Biorefinery. See Note B which describes the offtake agreement in more
detail.

Basis of Presentation

The
accompanying condensed and consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2019, has been derived from audited condensed
and consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements
as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be
read in conjunction with the audited condensed and consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the unaudited condensed and consolidated
financial statements. The unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting
of all normal accruals) necessary to make the condensed and consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation
S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020 or any future periods.

The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restricted Cash

In accordance with the
Company’s senior credit agreement (see Note E – Debt), the Company is required to advance the calculated interest expense on
its borrowings at the time of such borrowings to the estimated commercial operational date of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. This
interest is deposited into a designated account and the appropriate amount is paid to the lender at the end of each quarter. Additionally,
the construction funds are deposited into its own designated account and deposited from that designated account into the Bakersfield
Renewable Fuel, LLC account only upon approval by the lender. These two accounts are restricted and not directly accessible by
the Company for general use, although these funds are assets of the Company.

NOTE
A — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property
and Equipment

Property and equipment
are stated at cost. Depreciation of office equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of
3 to 5 years. Refinery assets and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to
25 years, however, the refinery will not begin to be depreciated until its retrofitting has been completed and it’s ready
for operations. Normal maintenance and repair items are charged to operating costs and are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated
depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and gain or loss on disposition
is reflected in the statement of operations. Interest on borrowings related to the retrofitting of the Bakersfield Biorefinery
is being capitalized, which will continue until the refinery is available for use. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
$5.5 million of interest has been capitalized, and is included in property and equipment, net on the accompanying September 30,
2020 balance sheet.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with U.S.
GAAP for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the carrying values of intangible assets and other long-lived assets
are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes
impairment when the aggregate of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment
losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Pre-Acquisition
Costs

We began capitalizing pre-acquisition costs
once we determined that the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery project was probable, which was in April of 2019 when the
product offtake agreement was signed. We capitalized those costs directly identifiable with the specific property and those costs
that would be capitalized if the property were already acquired. Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, these capitalized
pre-acquisition costs, which totaled $3.2 million, were reclassified to property and equipment.

For the full year of 2019 and for the year
2020 up to and including the acquisition date of May 7, 2020, we capitalized $2.6 million and $0.6 million of these costs, respectively.
As of May 7, 2020, we allocated our accumulated pre-acquisition costs of $3.2 million to the acquired Bakersfield Biorefinery.
See Note C – Property and Equipment, included herein.

Debt Issuance Costs

During 2018, we signed
a letter of intent to acquire our Bakersfield Refinery. The acquisition of the refinery and the related $365 million of
financing to fund the retrofit closed in May 2020. In connection with financing the refinery, we incurred $0.5 million of debt
issuance costs in 2019 and $4.2 million of debt issuance costs in the second quarter of 2020 related to acquisition of the Bakersfield
Biorefinery. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the loan as interest: however, as such interest relates to retrofitting
of the refinery, these costs will be capitalized as part of the refinery until the refinery is placed in service. The amortization
of the debt issuance costs that are not capitalized is recorded as interest expense. At December 31, 2019, certain unamortized
debt issuance costs are presented on the balance sheet as deferred costs. However, upon the closing of the Bakersfield biorefinery
acquisition and as of June 30, 2020, these costs are classified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability
of the financing to the extent that we borrow on the credit agreements. See Note J in Subsequent Events for more detail on the
financing.

NOTE
A — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Derecognition of Liabilities

The Company reviews its liabilities,
including but not limited to, accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expenses, accrued liabilities and other legal obligations
for a determination of the legal enforcement or settlement of these obligations. Upon conclusive evidence that an obligation may
be extinguished, has expired, is discharged, is cancelled or otherwise no longer legally exists, then the Company will derecognize
the respective liability on its balance sheet.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities which represent the fair value of a legal obligation
to perform asset retirement activities, including those that are conditional on a future event, when the amount can be reasonably
estimated. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, we record the liability when sufficient
information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. We have asset retirement obligations with respect to our
Bakersfield Biorefinery due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of these assets at the time they are retired.
However, the majority of these assets can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time provided that they are properly
maintained and/or upgraded. It is our practice and intent to continue to maintain these assets and make improvements based on technological
advances. A portion ofthese obligations relate to the required cleanout of the pipeline and terminal tanks. In order to determine
the fair value of the obligations management must make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected
cash flows, a credit-adjusted risk-free rate and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated
fair value of the asset retirement obligations. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate
of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected. See Note I for environmental liabilities,
which are accounted for separately from asset retirement obligations.

Advances to Contractors

Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield
Biorefinery, the Company advanced $20.1 million to its primary engineering, procurement and construction contractor. These funds
are credited against future invoices in accordance with an agreed schedule. As of September 30, 2020, the funds advance has been
reduced to $16.0 million.

Income
Taxes

The
Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the carryforward of
operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such
tax benefits will not be realized. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected
to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based
on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a
component of general and administrative expense.

Revenue Recognition

The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 using the following five-step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer,
(2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price
to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue. The Company did not recognize any revenues during the
quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Based upon the Company’s Product Offtake Agreement (see Note B), the Company
expects to recognize revenue from the sale of biofuel beginning in 2022.

Fair
Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate
their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s derivative liability related to its derivative forward contract
is reported at fair value.

U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation
techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect
market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types
of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1— Quoted prices for identical
instruments in active markets;

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar
instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived
valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3— Valuations derived from
valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

At December
31, 2019, the Company had a derivative liability of $24.8 million related to a forward contract that also included a call option.
The notional amount of the forward contract related to gallons of the commodity, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. Under the terms of the
contract the Company was obligated to pay the equivalent of the notional amount multiplied by the market price of Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel at the settlement dates; however, the call option of the contract capped the market price of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel.

In March of 2020 the Company settled the derivative
contract by agreeing to a payment of $5.5 million due on April 30, 2020 and six equal payments beginning in October of 2021 totaling
$17.6 million. The Company recognized $5.5 million of income from the decrease in fair value
on the derivative contract from January 1, 2020 through March 19, 2020, and also recognized a gain of $512,000 on the derecognition
of the derivative contract. The derivative forward contract was amended again in April 2020. Under the amendment, the contract
was replaced with a fixed payment obligation, whereby the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $24.8 million, which
included a payment of $4.5 million that the Company paid in June 2020, and six equal installment payments beginning in 2022 totaling
$20.3 million.

The fair value of the derivative forward contract
is primarily based upon the notional amount and the forward strip market prices of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, and is reduced by the
fair value of the call option. The forward strip market prices are observable. However, to determine the fair value of the call
option, Company used the Black’s 76 option pricing model. As a result, the contract as a whole is included in the Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy.

The derivative liability discussed herein was derecognized in the first quarter of 2020,
and the Company had no derivative liabilities in the second or third quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
The following presents changes in the derivative liability through September 30, 2020:

Estimates

Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates
used in preparing these financial statements include a) valuation of common stock, warrants, and stock options, b) those assumed
in determining the value of the derivative transactions, c) estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, d) the estimated
costs to remediate or clean-up the refinery site, and the inflation rate, discount rate and timing of payments to calculate the
asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities, and e) the allocation of the acquisition price of the Bakersfield Biorefinery
to the various assets acquired. It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next
year.

Income/Loss
per Common Share

Income/Loss
per share amounts are computed by dividing income or loss applicable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income or loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance
of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The number of dilutive warrants and options is computed using
the treasury stock method, whereby the dilutive effect is reduced by the number of treasury shares the Company could purchase with
the proceeds from exercises of warrants and options.

The following table presents: 1) instruments
that were dilutive for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were included in the diluted earnings per share, and 2) instruments
that were anti-dilutive for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were excluded
from diluted earnings per share as they would have been antidilutive:

Stock
Based Compensation

The Company recognizes
compensation expenses for stock-based awards expected to vest on
a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. However, in the case
of awards with accelerated vesting, the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date will be based upon the portion of
the award that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options,
expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. See Note J to
these condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2020.

NOTE
B — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
the Company incurred losses from operations applicable to its common stockholders of $4.7 million and has an accumulated deficit applicable to its common stockholders of $59.1 million, at
September 30, 2020.

On
May 4, 2020, a group of lenders agreed to provide a $300 million senior secured term loan
facility to BKRF OCB, LLC, one of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries, to enable that subsidiary to acquire
the equity interests of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC and to pay the anticipated costs of the retooling of the Bakersfield Biorefinery
owned by Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC. Concurrently with the senior credit facility, a group of mezzanine lenders also agreed
to provide a $65 million secured term loan facility to be used to pay the costs of repurposing and starting up the Bakersfield
biorefinery. Although the funds provided by the senior and mezzanine lenders may only be used for the Bakersfield Biorefinery and
servicing these debt obligations, since the Company shares facilities and personnel, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. will realize
a reduction in certain of its operating expenses. The Company believes that these cost savings, plus the Company’s other
financial resources should be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the start-up of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.
See “Note E – Debt.” On October 12, 2020 the group of lenders agreed to lend up to an additional $15 million for the
Bakersfield Biorefinery and a portion to the upstream Camelina business. See, “Note J – Subsequent Events.”

In
April of 2019, the Company executed a binding Product Offtake Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”)
with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which Purchaser has committed to purchase a minimum of 85
million gallons per year of renewable diesel annually from the Bakersfield Biorefinery (with a right to purchase higher volumes
as available), and the Company has committed to sell these quantities of renewable diesel to Purchaser. The Purchaser’s obligation
to purchase renewable diesel will last for a period of five years following the date that the Bakersfield Biorefinery commences
commercial operations. The Purchaser has the option to extend the initial five-year term. Either party may terminate the Offtake
Agreement if the Bakersfield Biorefinery does not meet certain production levels by certain milestone dates following the commencement
of the Bakersfield Biorefinery’s operations.

NOTE C – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

On
May 7, 2020 through its subsidiary BKRF OCB, LLC, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of Alon Bakersfield
Property, Inc. a company that owned a refinery in Bakersfield, California from Alon Paramount Holdings, Inc. (“Alon Paramount”)
for a total consideration of $120.2 million. Immediately prior to the purchase, Alon Bakersfield Property Inc. was converted into
a limited liability company and renamed as “Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC.” The Company is now retooling the acquired
refinery into a biorefinery. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company determined that
the purchase is an asset purchase and not a business combination based the following a) substantially all of the fair value of
the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset group, b) that the existing crude oil based (very high
carbon) refinery is not able to produce renewable diesel (very low carbon) fuel, c) no refinery in the U.S. has been designed specifically
around the feedstock of Camelina seed, thus the technical aspect is new and unique to the Bakersfield Biorefinery and d) the Company
did not acquire an assembled workforce. Thus, the acquired asset group does not have the full inputs or substantive process to
produce outputs and does not have any acquired revenue generating contractual arrangements.

The
total consideration for the purchase of the Bakersfield Biorefinery was $120.2 million, and consisted of $40 million of cash, an
option right of $5.5 million to the seller, and an assumption of $74.7 million of liabilities. The liabilities assumed consist
of $40.7 million of Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO) and $34 million of other environmental liabilities. These liabilities are
the estimated costs of clean-up, remediation and associated costs of the acquired assets in accordance with current regulations.
The total consideration of the purchase was allocated to the asset categories acquired based
upon their relative fair value. The following summarizes this allocation of the purchase price and also the reclassification of
the pre-acquisition costs:

Asset Category	Capitalized Costs Based on Acquisition Valuation		Allocated Pre-Acquisition Costs		Total Capitalized Costs on Acquisition

NOTE
D – Intangible Assets

Intangible
assets consist of patent license fees and refinery permits. Through a 2013 acquisition, the Company acquired certain patents, intellectual
property and rights related to the development of Camelina as a biofuels feedstock, as a result of which the Company continues
to incur costs related to patent license fees and patent applications for Camelina sativa plant improvements. These acquired assets
include three patents and the related intellectual property associated with these patents. These three patents have an expected
useful life of 17 years and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Amortization is calculated
using the straight-line method over their remaining patent life. These three purchased patents expire in 2029. Any future costs
associated with the maintenance of these patents and patent and registration costs for any additional patents that are essential
to the Company’s business will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the patent once issued. Upon the Company’s
acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Company acquired necessary permits for the operation of the facility. The permit
cost of $3.4 million is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The intangible assets as of the quarter ended September
30, 2020 and 2019 is shown in the following table:

	September 30,			September 30,
	2020			2019
Patent license fees		4,442,553			4,187,902

Less accumulated amortization		(2,182,889	)		(1,686,310	)
Intangible Assets, Net		5,680,364			2,501,592

Amortization expense for intangible assets
was approximately $95,000 and $61,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Credit Facilities

On
May 4, 2020, in order to fund the purchase of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC, BKRF OCB, LLC entered into a senior
secured credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “Senior Lenders”) pursuant to which the Senior Lenders agreed to
provide a $300 million senior secured term loan facility to BKRF OCB, and to pay the costs of the retooling the Bakersfield Biorefinery.
The senior loan bears interest at the rate of 12.5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} per annum, payable quarterly, provided that the borrower may defer up to 2.5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}
interest to the extent it does not have sufficient cash to pay the interest. Such deferred interest is added to principal of the
term loan. The principal of the senior loans matures in November 2026, provided that BKRF OCB, LLC must offer to prepay the senior
loans with any proceeds of asset dispositions, borrowings other than permitted borrowings, proceeds from losses, and excess net
cash flow. BKRF OCB, LLC may also prepay the senior loan in whole or in part with the payment of a prepayment penalty. As additional
consideration for the senior loans, the Senior Lenders are issued Class B Units in BKRF HCP,
LLC, an indirect parent company of BKRF OCB, LLC, as the Company draws on the facility. As of September 30, 2020, 126.5 million
Class B Units have been issued, and the aggregate fair value of such units on the date of issuance totaled approximately $1.5 million.
The senior loans are secured by all of the assets of BKRF OCB, LLC (including its membership interests in Bakersfield Renewable
Fuels, LLC), all of the outstanding membership interest in BKRF OCB, LLC, and all of the assets of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels,
LLC. The credit facility contains certain covenants, and as of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the
covenants.

On
May 4, 2020, BKRF HCB, LLC, the indirect parent of BKRF OCB, LLC, entered into
a credit agreement with a group of mezzanine lenders who agreed to provide a $65 million secured term loan facility to be used
to pay the costs of repurposing and starting up the Bakersfield biorefinery. As of November 30, 2020, BKRF HCB, LLC has not drawn
down on the credit facility. The mezzanine loans bear interest at the rate of 15.0{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} per annum on amounts borrowed, payable quarterly,
provided that the borrower may defer up to 2.5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} interest to the extent it does not have sufficient cash to pay the interest. Such
deferred interest is added to principal. As additional consideration for the mezzanine loans, the mezzanine lenders will be issued
Class C Units in BKRF HCP, LLC at such times as advances are made under the mezzanine loans. The mezzanine loans will be secured
by all of the assets of BKRF HCP, LLC, including all of the outstanding membership interest in BKRF HCB, LLC. The mezzanine loans
mature in November 2027.

Promissory Notes

Prior to 2016 the Company
invested in and purchased various assets and is carrying a note, that is due upon demand, related to such assets in the principal
amount of $1.3 million. The promissory note is due upon demand, and has an interest rate of 18{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} per annum.

Convertible Note
Payable to Executive Officer

On
October 16, 2018, Richard Palmer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
President, entered into a new employment agreement with the Company and concurrently agreed to defer $1 million of his accrued
unpaid salary and bonus for two years. In order to evidence the deferral, the Company and Mr. Palmer entered into a $1 million
convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note accrues simple interest on the outstanding
principal balance of the note at the annual rate of five percent (5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}) and became due and payable on October 15, 2020, its maturity
date. Under its existing credit agreements, the Company is restricted from repaying Mr. Palmer’s loan and, accordingly, is
currently in default under the Convertible Note. As of the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company had recorded
accrued interest payable of approximately $110,000 and $60,000 respectively. Under the Convertible Note, Mr. Palmer has the right,
exercisable at any time until the Convertible Note is fully paid, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance
and accrued and unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0154 per share.

Convertible Notes
Payable

The Company has several notes that are convertible into the Company or the Company’s
subsidiaries at different prices: ranging from $0.03 per share into the parent company’s stock and up to $1.48 per share
into a subsidiary’s common stock. These notes have passed their original maturity date and they continue to accrue interest
at varying rates, from 8{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} to 10{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}. On a combined basis, as of September 30, 2020 the principal amount of these notes is approximately
$0.7 million.

Fixed Payment Obligation

As described in Note A,
under “Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the
Company amended a derivative forward contract during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with the counterparty. The amendment terminated
the derivative forward contract and replaced it with a fixed payment obligation. Under the
terms of the fixed payment obligation, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $23.1 million, which included a payment
of $5.5 million in April 2020, and six equal installment payments in 2022 totaling $17.6 million. Under the subsequent revised
terms of the fixed payment obligation in April, 2020, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $24.8 million, which
included a payment of $4.5 million in June 2020 (which was paid), and six equal monthly installment
payments beginning in May, 2022. For financial reporting purposes, the fixed payment obligation has been recorded at the present
value of future payments, using a discount rate of 14.8{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}.

Lenders

As
described above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued its lenders on its senior debt 46 million Class
B Units of its subsidiary, BKRF HCB, LLC, and as of September 30, 2020 the senior lenders have been issued a total of 126.5 million
Class B Units. The Company is obligated to make certain distribution payments to holders of these preferred units, and after the
distributions reach a certain limit the units are considered fully redeemed. As such, for accounting purposes, these preferred
units are considered to be mandatorily redeemable and have been classified as liabilities in the accompanying September 30, 2020,
balance sheet.

Insurance Premium
Financing

Upon the acquisition of
the Bakersfield Biorefinery in May 2020, the Company obtained various insurance contracts to cover
its corporate, ownership and construction risks primarily to provide financial protection against various risks and to satisfy
certain lender requirements. The Company paid 35{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} of the total premiums and financed the balance at 3.8{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} annual interest rate.

The Series B Shares may,
at the option of each holder, be converted at any time or from time to time into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at
the conversion price then in effect. The number of shares into which one Series B Share shall be convertible is determined by dividing
$100 per share by the conversion price then in effect. The initial conversion price per share for the Series B Shares is $0.11,
which is subject to adjustment for certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, or other recapitalizations
affecting the Series B Shares.

Each holder of Series
B Shares is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which the Series
B Shares could be converted on the record date for such vote, and has voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers
of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

No dividends are required
to be paid to holders of the Series B shares. However, the Company may not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of
any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (other than dividends on shares of our Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock) unless the holders of the Series B shares shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, an equal dividend on
each outstanding share of Series B shares.

In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive, prior to any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount equal to $100 per share, or $1,300,000 in the
aggregate, plus an amount equal to any dividends declared and unpaid with respect to each such share.

to stock option awards for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $9,000 and $74,000 respectively, and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 of $190,000 and $578,000, respectively. The Company recognizes all stock-based
compensation in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of
September 30, 2020, there was approximately $358,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to option awards that will be recognized
over the remaining service period of approximately 3.3 years.

Stock Purchase Warrants
and Call Option

In 2020, the Company issued,
to a party interested in Camelina development, a non-transferable warrant for the purchase of an approximately eight-percent interest
in its subsidiary, Sustainable Oils, Inc. for approximately $20 million. The warrant expires on June 1, 2021. The Company determined
the fair value of the warrants to be approximately $9,000.

Concurrently
with the closing of the acquisition of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC in May 2020, the Company entered into a Call Option Agreement
with the seller, Alon Paramount, pursuant to which the Company granted to Alon Paramount an option to purchase from Global Clean
Energy Holdings, Inc. up to 33 1/3{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} of the membership interests of a subsidiary that indirectly owns Bakersfield Renewable Fuels,
LLC. The option exercise price is based on the cash purchase price that the Company paid for Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC.
The foregoing option can be exercised by Alon Paramount until the 90^th day after the refinery meets certain operational
criteria. Upon the exercise of the option, Alon Paramount will be allocated its share of the refinery’s assets and liabilities
and profits and losses. Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC is also responsible for all of the environmental liabilities and clean
up costs associated with the Bakersfield Refinery.

Employment Agreements

The Company maintains
an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice-President that provide for the terms of their compensation,
including bonuses and share-based compensation. See the Company’s December 31, 2019 Form 10-K (as amended) for further details.

Engineering, Procurement and Construction
Contract

On April 30, 2020, GCE Acquisitions
entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement with ARB, Inc. (“ARB”) pursuant to which ARB has
agreed to provide services for the engineering, procurement, construction, start-up and testing of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.
The agreement, which was assigned by GCE Acquisitions to BKRF OCB, LLC, the borrower under the senior credit facility, provides
for ARB to be paid on a cost plus fee basis subject to a guaranteed maximum price of $201.4 million, subject to increase for approved
change orders.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company recognizes its asset retirement
obligation and environmental liabilities in accordance with ASC 410-30, and has estimated such liabilities as of its acquisition
date. It is the Company’s policy to accrue environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is both
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental liabilities represent the
current estimated costs to investigate and remediate contamination at our properties. This estimate is based on internal and third-party
assessments of the extent of the contamination, the selected remediation technology and review of applicable environmental regulations,
typically considering estimated activities and costs for 15 years, and up to 30 years if a longer period is believed reasonably
necessary. Accruals for estimated costs from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion
of the remedial feasibility study and include, but are not limited to, costs to perform remedial actions and costs of machinery
and equipment that are dedicated to the remedial actions and that do not have an alternative use. Such accruals are adjusted as
further information develops or circumstances change. We discount environmental liabilities to their present value if payments
are fixed and determinable. Expenditures for equipment necessary for environmental issues relating to ongoing operations are capitalized.
Changes in laws and regulations and actual remediation expenses compared to historical experience could significantly impact our
results of operations and financial position. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate
of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected.

Legal

On
May 7, 2020 through BKRF OCB, LLC, one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
equity interests of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC from Alon Paramount Holdings, Inc. (“Alon Paramount”) for $40
million in cash. Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC owns an oil refinery in Bakersfield, California that the Company is retooling
into a biorefinery. In connection with the acquisition, BKRF OCB, LLC agreed to undertake certain cleanup activities at the refinery
and provide a guarantee for liabilities arising from the cleanup. The Company has assumed significant environmental and clean-up
liabilities associated with the purchase of the Bakersfield Refinery.

Bakersfield
Renewable Fuels, LLC, formerly Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc., is one of the parties to an action pending in the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In June 2019, the jury awarded the plaintiffs approximately $6.7 million against Alon Bakersfield
Property, Inc. and Paramount Petroleum Corporation (a parent company of Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. at the time of the award
in 2019). Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Alon Paramount agreed to assume and be liable for (and to indemnify, defend, and
save Bakersfield Renewable Fuels harmless from) this litigation. In addition, Paramount Petroleum has posted a bond to cover this
judgment amount. All legal fees in this matter are being paid by Alon Paramount.

AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

In August 2020, a complaint was filed
against GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC for a claimed breach of a certain consulting agreement. The claim is for $1.2 million. On
October 14, 2020, GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC filed an answer and denied all allegations in the complaint. The
Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material effect on its financial statements, and
no loss has been accrued regarding this claim.

In the ordinary course of business,
the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and the Company may, from time to time, make claims or take legal
actions to assert the Company’s rights, including intellectual property rights, contractual disputes and other commercial
disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation. Management believes the outcomes of currently pending claims
will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees

In addition to the indemnification
provisions contained in the Company’s organization documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements
with the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director
or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s directors
or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest,
and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which
the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel
strain of coronavirus diseases (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. Less than four months later, on March
11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s
operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic,
all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. The Company is currently analyzing
the potential impacts to its business. At this time, it is not possible to determine the magnitude of the overall impact of COVID-19
on the Company.

NOTE
J – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 12, 2020 the Company’s

Overview

Since
2007, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, hereafter the “Company”, “we”,
“us” or “our”) has been an integrated agricultural-energy biofuels company that, directly or through its
subsidiaries, acquired and developed agricultural biofuel feedstock assets. In 2013 we acquired certain Camelina sativa (“Camelina”)
assets that we have been developing as an ultra-low
carbon non-food based feedstock for the production and sale of renewable fuels. In July 2018, we entered into a letter of intent
to purchase a 500-acre crude oil refinery in Bakersfield, California (the “Bakersfield Biorefinery”). During the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2019 we incurred an increasing amount of general and administrative expenses and facility maintenance
costs related to our ownership and retrofitting of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.

In order to fund
our operating and acquisition-related expenses, in October of 2018 we
entered into a derivative contract (the “Derivative Contract”) with a commodity trading company for the delivery of
ultra-low sulfur renewable diesel for settlement over a six-month period beginning in July 2020. Under the Derivative Contract,
we received $6 million in cash. At the inception of the Derivative Contract, we recorded a $15.1 million liability and $9.1 million
of financing costs. During the remaining portion of 2018, the derivative liability decreased by $3.1 million. In October 2019 we
modified the Derivative Contract, entered into a new Derivative Contract, and received another $4 million of cash. The cash that
we received from the Derivative Contract was used to fund our operating costs, due diligence costs, pre-acquisition costs, the
purchase price down payment/deposit for the Bakersfield Biorefinery, consulting and legal fees associated with the acquisition,
and payments to key vendors and suppliers. The Derivative Contract was amended in March 2020 and was converted into a fixed payment
obligation. This fixed payment obligation was modified again in April 2020. Under the amended terms, the fixed payment obligation
requires total payments of $24.8 million, including a payment of $4.5 million in June 2020, and six monthly equal installment payments
beginning in May 2022.

In May 2020 we completed the purchase of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. In order
to fund the purchase price of the Bakersfield Biorefinery and the conversion of the facility into a renewable diesel refinery,
in May 2020 we also entered into a $300 million senior loan facility and a $65 million mezzanine loan facility. We are currently
converting the Bakersfield Biorefinery from a crude oil refinery into a biorefinery, and we do not expect to commence our proposed
biofuel refinery operations until early 2022. Therefore, we do not anticipate generating revenues from the operations of the Bakersfield
Biorefinery until the first half of 2022. In order to have Camelina seed and oil available when our biorefinery commences its refinery
operations and have farmland under cultivation for future Camelina harvests, we have started investing in farming activities related
to our Camelina seed production. These activities include investments in growing certified seed for future plantings, payments
to farmers for growing Camelina for seed delivery to us, processing costs and other necessary costs associated with adding to our
Camelina seed, oil and meal inventories.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Critical
accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

The Company’s most
critical accounting policies and estimates that may materially impact the Company’s results of operations include:

Capitalization of Pre-Acquisition
Costs. The Company capitalizes its pre-acquisition costs once management determines that it is probable that the project will
occur. Probability is determined based on (i) whether management, having the requisite authority, has implicitly or explicitly
authorized and committed to funding the acquisition or construction of a specific asset, (ii) the financial resources are available
consistent with such authorization, and (iii) the ability exists to meet the necessary local and other governmental regulations.
Cost capitalization occurs when the event is probable, but prior to the start of construction. We capitalize those costs that are
directly identifiable with the specific property and those costs that would be capitalized if the property were already acquired.
We expense general and administrative and overhead costs and costs, including payroll, that would be considered support functions.

Derecognition of Liabilities.
The Company reviews its liabilities, including but not limited to, accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expenses, accrued liabilities
and other legal obligations, for a determination of the legal enforcement or settlement of an obligation. Upon conclusive evidence
that an obligation may be extinguished, has expired, is discharged, cancelled or otherwise no longer legally exists, then the Company
will derecognize the respective liability on the Company’s balance sheet.

Derivative Commodity
Instruments. The Company uses derivative commodity instruments as a means of generating cash for its efforts in procuring a
refinery to fulfill its business plan. The Company may use such instruments in the future to manage its exposures for its feedstocks
or end products. Normal purchases and normal sales are contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of something other than
a financial instrument or derivative instrument that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold over a reasonable
period in the normal course of business. While the Company may deliver refined products from its biorefinery in the future, at
this time these derivative contracts are not considered normal sales contracts. The results of our derivative activities were material
to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in 2019 and 2020. The Company’s risk management
practices and its compliance with policies are reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors. Derivatives beyond those designated
as normal purchase and normal sale contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with resulting gains
and losses reflected in income. Fair values are derived principally from published market quotes and other independent third-party
quotes. The change in fair value of Company’s derivative commodity instruments in 2019 and 2020 was material to the Company’s
results of operations.

Recoverability of Intangible
Assets. The Company invests in the development of various plant-based feedstocks for conversion to fuel as part of its core
business plan. The Company has purchased patents and associated know-how that relate directly to the development and growing of
Camelina. The Company invests in the ongoing development of Camelina through research and additional patents as breakthroughs occur.
The Company capitalizes all of its patent expenses and amortizes these costs over a 17-year period in conjunction with the life
of the patent protection. As part of the Bakersfield Biorefinery we acquired certain operational permits which we amortize over
an estimated life of 15 years. We evaluate the carrying costs of these assets on a periodic basis and will impair such value if
deemed necessary. As of September 30, 2020, no impairment is necessary and the carrying value of our intangible assets remains
a significant value and expected economic generator going forward.

Certain other critical
accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that the Company has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations
that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September
30, 2020 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Revenues. As discussed
above, during 2019 and continuing until we purchased the Bakersfield Biorefinery on May 7, 2020, our activities were devoted solely
to the acquisition and financing of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. Following the acquisition, we refocused our efforts on building
our operations and management teams necessary and on putting the processes in place to accomplish the task of retrofitting the
Bakersfield Biorefinery and we did not engage in any operating activities that generated revenues. Therefore, we had no operating
revenues in the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 (the “2019 fiscal quarter”) or September 30, 2020 (the “2020
fiscal quarter”).

General And Administrative
Expenses and Facility Expenses. General and administrative expense consists of expenses generally involving
corporate overhead functions and operations. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million from $0.1 million
in the 2019 fiscal quarter to $2.9 million in the 2020 fiscal quarter. This increase was primarily related to an increase in payroll
costs, professional fees, legal fees and various vendor costs. In the period after we acquired the Bakersfield Biorefinery on May
7, 2020, our general and administrative expenses increased significantly, and these expenses are expected to continue to increase
as the development of the refinery progresses. Facility expense primarily consists of maintenance costs to keep the Bakersfield
assets, purchased in May 2020, in an operational mode and expenses normally related to the operations of a refinery. Our facility
expenses were $1.6 million in the 2020 fiscal quarter and we incurred no such expenses in the 2019 fiscal quarter.

Other Income/Expense.
In the 2020 fiscal quarter we had no impact from derivatives, whereas in the 2019 fiscal quarter we incurred a $0.4 million
gain from our change in derivative liability.

Interest Income/Expense.
Interest expense in the 2020 fiscal quarter and the 2019 fiscal quarter consisted of interest
of $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from outstanding promissory notes and. Our incurred interest will increase significantly
in the future as we draw down on the $300 million senior and $65 million mezzanine loans, and as the outstanding principal balances
of those loans increases. However, construction period interest will be capitalized as part of the cost of the refinery and will
be depreciated, and therefore, will not impact our interest expense.

Net losses. We
incurred an operating loss of $4.7 million and $0.3 million in the 2020 and 2019 fiscal quarters respectively. We incurred a net
loss of $5.4 million in the 2020 fiscal quarter compared to a $22,000 net income in the 2019 fiscal quarter. Our operating loss
increased because of the increase in activity related to our purchase of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. We expect to incur losses
for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 while our biorefinery is under construction and therefore not operational.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 vs.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Revenues. As discussed
above, during 2019 and during most of the second quarter of 2020, our activities
were devoted solely to the acquisition and financing of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, which was completed on May 7, 2020. Because
we were focused on purchasing, and thereafter retrofitting, the Bakersfield Biorefinery during 2019 and 2020, we did not engage
in any operating activities that generated revenues. Therefore, we had no operating revenues in the nine months ended September
30, 2019 (the “2019 fiscal period”) or September 30, 2020 (the “2020 fiscal period”).

General And Administrative
Expenses and Facilities Cost. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $2.9 million, or
145{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}, from $2.1 million in the 2019 fiscal period to $5.0 million in the 2020 fiscal period This increase was primarily related
to an increase in payroll costs, professional fees, legal fees and various vendor costs.

Since we acquired the Bakersfield Biorefinery
in May 2020, our general and administrative expenses have increased in 2020 and are expected to continue to increase as the development
of the refinery progresses. Our facilities expenses were $2.4 million for the 2020 fiscal period and we had no such costs in the
2019 fiscal period.

Other Income/Expense.
In the 2020 fiscal period we had net other income of $4.3 million compared
to a net other expense of $2.5 million in the 2019 fiscal period. In the 2020 fiscal period we generated a $5.5 million gain on
the change in fair value of our derivative liability and a gain of $0.5 million on the settlement of the derivative liability compared
to the 2019 fiscal period in which we incurred a $2.2 million charge due to a change in our derivative liability.

Interest Income/Expense.
Interest expense in the 2020 fiscal period and the 2019 fiscal period consisted of interest of $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively,
from outstanding promissory notes and discount on our notes payable. Our incurred interest will increase significantly in the future
as we draw down on the $300 million senior and $65 million mezzanine loans, and as the outstanding principal balances of those
loans increases. As referenced above, our construction period interest will be capitalized.

Net Losses. For
the 2020 fiscal period, we had a net loss of $3.4 million compared to a net loss of $5.9 million in the 2019 fiscal period.
Our net loss was lower in the 2020 fiscal period due to our primarily $6.0 million gain resulting from the change in
fair value in our derivative liability and the gain on the settlement of liabilities. We expect to incur losses for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 while our biorefinery
is under construction and therefore not operational.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September
30, 2020 and 2019, we had approximately $40.0 million and $0.5 million of cash, respectively, and a negative
working capital of $0.8 million and $33.0 million, respectively. However, of the $40.0 million of cash, only $2.0 million is unrestricted
and available to pay our current liabilities, while the remaining $38.0 million of cash is restricted and can only be used to fund
our senior loan interest obligations and our biorefinery construction costs.

Our efforts to acquire
the Bakersfield Biorefinery commenced in early 2018. Our operating costs, including the costs of the professionals
that we engaged, exceeded our capital resources. Accordingly, on October 15, 2018, we entered into a derivative contract with a
commodities trading company whereby we received $6 million of cash in exchange for a contract for ultra-low sulfur diesel to be
settled over a six-month time period beginning in July of 2020. This contract created a net fair value liability of $15.1 million.
The purpose of this contract was to obtain the cash the Company needed to pursue the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.
The liability in excess of cash received was considered a financing charge and was recorded as an expense. Because of a delay in
completing the purchase of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, we had to amend the original derivative contract. Accordingly, on October
29, 2019 we unwound the October 15, 2018 contract and entered into a new derivative transaction whereby we received an additional
cash payment of $4 million. On March 19, 2020, we unwound the derivative contract and fixed the obligation with a cash payment
of $5.5 million due on April 30th and six equal monthly payments of $2.9 million beginning on October 31, 2021. On April 28, 2020
this agreement with the commodities trading company was amended in terms to reduce and extend the short-term cash payment to $4.5
million in June 2020 (that we paid) and increased and deferred the six equal monthly payments of $3.375 million beginning on April
30, 2022. This payment stream is scheduled to coincide around the commencement of operations of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.

The Bakersfield
Biorefinery is currently being retooled and converted from a crude oil refinery
into a biofuels refinery. The construction of the Bakersfield Biorefinery is expected to be completed and commence commercial operations
in early 2022. Until the Bakersfield Biorefinery is operational, we do not expect to generate any significant operating revenues.
During the construction phase of the biorefinery, we will incur significant operating costs and capital expenditures to upgrade
the existing equipment and facilities. The expenses that we expect to incur include, among others, the purchase price of new biorefinery
equipment, the payments to our primary contractor under a $201 million engineering, procurement and construction agreement, the
costs of maintaining the existing facility, paying licensing fees, the costs of upgrading the refinery’s rail line and certain
pipelines, and making interest and other payments under our senior and mezzanine credit facilities.

In order to fund
the cost of acquiring the Bakersfield Biorefinery, converting the existing refinery into a biorefinery, and paying all operating
expenses during the preoperational period, in May 2020 we entered into a $300 million senior secured term loan facility and a $65
million secured term loan facility with various mezzanine lenders. Our senior and mezzanine lenders have also recently agreed to
make an additional $15 million available to us, if requested, to develop the Bakersfield Refinery and our feedstock program. As
of November 30, 2020, we have borrowed $151 million under the senior credit facility, of which approximately $62 million is unspent;
we have not yet utilized the mezzanine credit facility or the additional $15 million of available credit.

The senior loan
bears interest at the rate of 12.5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} per annum, payable quarterly. No principal payments are required to be made under the senior
loan until maturity. The senior loan matures on November 4, 2026. The mezzanine loan will bear interest at the rate of 15.0{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} per
annum on amounts borrowed, payable quarterly, provided that we may defer up to 2.5{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} interest to the extent we do not have sufficient
cash to pay the interest (any deferred interest will be added to principal). Principal of the mezzanine loans is due at maturity.
As additional consideration for the senior loans and mezzanine loans, the senior lenders were issued Class B units (and the mezzanine
lenders will be issued Class C Units when we borrow under the mezzanine loans) in our subsidiary that indirectly owns the Bakersfield
Biorefinery. The Class B and C Units will not affect our liquidity until the Bakersfield Biorefinery commences operations in 2022.
However, since the holders of the Class B and C Units will be entitled to certain priority cumulative distributions, if any, that
may be made in the future from the operations of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Class B and C Units will reduce the amount of
distributions that we may be entitled to receive in the future from the operations of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.

Based on our construction
budget (including the purchase orders we have issued for the required equipment) and on our internal projections of our future
operating expenses, we anticipate that the $365 million available to us under the senior and mezzanine loans should be sufficient
to fund our projected capital expenditures and operating expenses at the Bakersfield Biorefinery until the Bakersfield Biorefinery
becomes operational. Although the funds provided under the senior and mezzanine loans may only be used for the Bakersfield refinery
and servicing these debt obligations, since we share facilities and personnel, we will realize a reduction in certain of our operating
expenses. We believe that these cost savings, plus our other financial resources should be sufficient to fund our operations through
the commercial start-up of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.

Our transition to
profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful and timely development and construction of our biorefinery
and the future commercialization of the products that we intend to produce at the Bakersfield Biorefinery. In order to ensure that
we have a buyer for the renewable diesel produced at our biorefinery, we have entered into an offtake agreement with ExxonMobil
Oil Corporation. Under that agreement, ExxonMobil has agreed to purchase a minimum of 85 million gallons per year of renewable
diesel from the Bakersfield Biorefinery for a period of five years following the date that the Bakersfield Biorefinery commences
commercial operations, with the right to acquire additional volumes. The revenues we expect to receive under the offtake agreement,
together with our other projected sources of revenues, are expected to fund our anticipated working capital and liquidity needs.

Once completed,
the Bakersfield Biorefinery will be able to produce renewable diesel from various renewable feedstocks, such as Camelina oil produced
from our patented Camelina varieties, soybean oil, used cooking oil, inedible animal fat, and other vegetable oils. We believe
that one of our strategic advantages is that a significant portion of the feedstock expected to be used at our biorefinery will
be Camelina grain produced by third party farmers for us using our patented Camelina varieties. However, we anticipate that we
will need additional funding to grow our certified Camelina seeds, to enter into agreements with farmers, and to otherwise ramp
up the cultivation and production of Camelina. As of the date of this report, we have only secured limited funding for our Camelina
production plans. Although we are currently in discussions with certain agri-finance companies, our existing lenders, and possible
third party investors for debt or equity financing for our Camelina operations, no assurance can be given that we will obtain the
necessary funds, or that if we do obtain such funding, that the terms under which we obtain such funding will be beneficial to
us.

Inflation and changing
prices have had no effect on our continuing operations over our two most recent fiscal years.

We have no off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk

Nothing to report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be
disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required
to apply its judgment in weighing the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are
inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud
within the company have been detected.

As required by Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, under the supervision
and with the participation of our Certifying Officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were, based on the Framework of Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) 2013, not effective because of the
following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (i) As of September 30, 2020 we did not have sufficient
trained accounting staff , and (ii) as of September 30, 2020 there was insufficient segregation of duties related to processing,
approving and reviewing transactions and journal entries. We have taken remedial steps to address the material weaknesses in our
disclosure controls and procedures. These remedial steps include the following:

(a) Since September 30,
2020, we are training our accounting staff;

(b) We are continuing to
develop the accounting processes necessary to achieve effective controls, including more segregation of duties as our personnel
allows;

(c) We have designed and
are implementing more robust financial reporting, accounting and management controls over our accounting and financial reporting
functions at our two facilities.

Except as described above,
there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30,
2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 24, 2020
Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, against GCE Holdings
Acquisitions, LLC titled “Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC vs. GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC” (Case No.
RG 20072242). The complaint alleges that GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC breached that certain Consulting Agreement, dated October
8, 2019, by failing to pay Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC certain fees that Wood Warrant claims it has earned under the Consulting
Agreement. Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC has asked the court for an award of $1.2 million. On October 14, 2020, GCE Holdings
Acquisitions, LLC filed an answer and denied all allegations in the complaint.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business
and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject.
These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows,
strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner.

Uncertain
Impact of Covid-19 Coronavirus. The outbreak of coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) is not expected to materially impact
our operations unless our workforce or our contractors cannot continue the development and construction of the Bakersfield Biorefinery.
We are committed to ensuring the safety of our personnel, consultants and vendors who must work on site. There is no assurance
that we will not have a COVID-19 exposure that may cause material delays in the development and/or commencement of commercial operations
of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. Any material delay in completing the construction of the Bakersfield Biorefinery or commencing
its operations could have a material negative impact on our future operations, cash flow and financial condition.
