CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Form 10-Q contains “forward looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, goals and expectations, including expectations about the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, capital expenditures, capital needs, government regulation of the industry, environmental risks, limitations of insurance coverage, and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters, including the granting of patents and permits. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “attempt,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

These statements are based on and were developed using a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: stability in the U.S. and other foreign economies; stability in the availability and pricing of raw materials, energy and supplies; stability in the competitive environment; the continued ability of the Company to access cost effective capital when needed; and no unexpected or unforeseen events occurring that would materially alter the Company’s current plans. All of these assumptions have been derived from information currently available to the Company including information obtained by the Company from third party sources. Although management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect in whole or in part. As a result of these and other factors, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward looking information, which reflect the Company’s expectations only as of the date hereof.

Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward-looking information include risks associated with general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks associated with changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks associated with failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; risks associated with accidents or labor disputes; risks associated in delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing, or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks associated with financial leverage and the availability of capital; risks associated with the price of commodities and the inability of the Company to control commodity prices; risks associated with the regulatory environment within which the Company operates; risks associated with litigation including the availability of insurance; and risks posed by competition. These and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking information are discussed in more detail in Item 1A under “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, as may be supplemented or amended from time to time and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 in this document.

The Company does not intend to, and the Company disclaims any obligation to, update any forward-looking information (including any financial outlooks), whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

All references in this Form 10-Q to “Company,” “Methes,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Methes Energies International Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Methes Energies Canada Inc. and Methes Energies USA Ltd. unless the context otherwise indicates.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Unaudited

As of February 28, 2014

(Expressed in US$)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE BUSINESS, FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Methes Energies International Ltd. ("Methes" or the "Company"), was incorporated on June 27, 2007 in the State of Nevada. Methes, through its operations in Canada and the United States, is a biodiesel processing equipment provider and a biodiesel producer. The Company has developed biodiesel processing equipment to produce biodiesel from recycled oils. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Methes Energies Canada Inc. ("Methes Canada"), operates two biodiesel manufacturing facilities; one is located in Mississauga, Ontario with a nameplate production capacity of 1.3 million gallons per year (mgy), and the second facility is capable of producing 13.0 mgy of biodiesel located in Sombra, Ontario. In addition to Methes Canada, Methes Energies USA Ltd. ("Methes USA") was incorporated as the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on June 27, 2007. All references in this Form 10-Q to “Company,” “Methes,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Methes Energies International Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Methes Canada and Methes USA unless the context otherwise indicates.

As at February 28, 2014, due in large part to the funds spent to develop, build and commission our Sombra facility as well as minimal sales of biodiesel, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,909,659. During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the Company incurred a loss of $1,481,441 and had negative cash flow from operations of $697,254. The Company anticipates that its Sombra facility will generate positive cash flow from operations and will operate profitably once full-scale commercial operations are achieved in the second half of fiscal year 2014. However, in order to meet its development goals and ongoing operational requirements, the Company will require additional financing in the foreseeable future. It is management’s opinion that its cash and cash equivalents, the anticipated positive cash flow from operations and cash from additional financing currently being negotiated, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Methes Canada and Methes USA. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Deferred Financing Fees

Financing fees relating to other financing arrangements are deferred and amortized over the term of the respective loan.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with FASB ASC 705 "Cost of Sales and Services". Shipping and handling costs for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 were $73,694 and $15,570, respectively. Costs related to raw materials purchased, are included in inventory or cost of goods sold, as appropriate. While amounts charged to customers for shipping product are included in revenues, the related outbound freight costs are included in expenses as incurred.

Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. ASC 740-10-05, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Potential tax benefits from net operating losses and foreign tax credit carry forwards are not recognized by the Company until their realization is more likely than not. The Company assesses the validity of conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause the Company to change their judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position's sustainability under audit. The Company has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions as at November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2014.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is determined by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is increased by Common Stock options and warrants outstanding if the exercise prices were lower than the average market price of Common Stocks using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares include 2,163,764 warrants and 383,310 Common Stock options issued and outstanding as at February 28, 2013 and 3,923,149 warrants, 365,931 Common Stock options and 260,782 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as at February 28, 2014. All outstanding warrants, preferred shares and options have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share and are therefore excluded from the determination of the diluted loss per share calculation for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210). The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures required by the amendments are required to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company adopted this statement effective December 1, 2013. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

All other recent pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Outstanding principal would be prepayable after six months upon 30 days’ notice and payment of a penalty equal to one-month's interest. The July 2013 Facility is collateralized by a security agreement from Methes Canada on certain of its assets except for accounts receivable and inventory and a first collateral mortgage on its real property located at Sombra, Ontario. The July 2013 Facility prohibits payment of debt owed by the Company to certain of its stockholders and a director (see note 5) during the life of the facility and contains other customary debt covenants.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, CONCENTRATIONS AND RISK

a) The Company's cash and cash equivalents, which are carried at fair values, are classified as a level 1 financial instrument at November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2014.

b) The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

Major Customers

Two major customers comprised 71% and 9% of total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2014 (three months ended February 28, 2013 - two major customers comprised 44% and 21% of total revenue).

As at November 30, 2013, the accounts receivable balance from the two major customers was $659,902 and $26,083 respectively. As at February 28, 2014, the accounts receivable balance from two major customers was $36,396 and $nil respectively.

Major Vendors

The Company has an exclusive agreement to manufacture biodiesel processor equipment with Turn-Key Modular Systems Inc. ("Turnkey"). During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the Company made purchases of $nil (three months ended February 28, 2013 - $45,853) from Turnkey. As of November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2014, the Company had accounts payable of $21,856 and $6,837 owing to Turnkey, respectively.

The Company’s major purchases of feedstock oil and biodiesel from third parties for three months ended February 28, 2014 were $nil (three months ended February 28, 2013 – two major vendors comprising total purchases of $219,707 and $194,810)

As at November 30, 2013, the accounts payable balance from the three major vendors were $nil, $1,053,479 and $575,043.

As at February 28, 2014, the accounts payable balance from the two major vendors was $948,480 and $352,670.

Economic and Political Risks

The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and marketing in Canada and sales in the United States. Changing political climates in Canada and the United States could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.

c) The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high creditworthiness. The carrying value of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure

The Company minimizes credit risk by routinely reviewing the credit risk of the counterparty to the arrangement and has maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,000 related to credit risk as at February 28, 2014, which is considered adequate.

Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company's functional currency is U.S. dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could have an effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to currency fluctuations.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are foreign currency gains for three months ended February 28, 2014 of $79,786 (three months ended February 28, 2013 of $74,380).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansionary plans. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

As at February 28, 2014, due in large part to the funds spent to develop and build the Sombra facility as well as minimal sales of biodiesel, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,909,659.

The Company anticipates that its Sombra facility will generate positive cash flow from operations and will operate profitably once full-scale commercial operations are achieved in the second half of fiscal year 2014. It is management’s opinion that the anticipated positive cash flows from operations and cash from additional financing currently being negotiated will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The Company intends to receive deposits from customers, where possible, in advance of shipment. As at February 28, 2014, the Company received customer deposits of $9,104 (November 30, 2013 - $8,185) against shipments to be delivered in the subsequent quarter.

Some of the statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” following the Table of Contents of this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a renewable energy company that offers an array of products and services to a network of biodiesel fuel producers. We also market and sell in the U.S. and Canada biodiesel fuel produced at our small-scale production and demonstration facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and at our new intermediate scale production facility in Sombra, Ontario, Canada. The first of two Denami 3000 processors, designed to produce up to 6.5 million gallons per year, or mgy, of biodiesel, was placed in substantially full time production in the fourth quarter of 2013. In October 2013 we shipped more than 18 railcars (over 485,000 gallons) of biodiesel from our Sombra facility which is significantly higher than our previous highest monthly total of 8 railcars in April 2013. During the quarter ended February 28, 2014, our largest source of revenue was from the sale biodiesel fuel.

Among other services, we sell feedstock to our network of biodiesel producers, sell their output in the U.S. and Canada, provide them with proprietary software used to operate and control their processors, remotely monitor the quality and characteristics of their output, upgrade and repair their processors, and advise them on adjusting their processes to use varying feedstock and improve their output. Through the accumulation of production data from our network, we are equipped to provide consulting services to network members and other producers for operating their facilities, maintaining optimum production and solving production problems. For our network services and the license of our operating and communications software, we receive a royalty from network members based on the gallons of biodiesel produced.

Our revenue sources include the sale of biodiesel produced at our own facility, the sale of biodiesel that we purchase from network members and other third-party producers, the sale of biodiesel equipment, the sale of feedstock to network members and other third-party biodiesel producers, Canadian government incentive payments, royalties from our network members, and revenue from other services we provide related to the production of biodiesel.

As of February 28, 2014, due in large part to the funds spent to develop, build and commission our Sombra facility as well as minimal sales of biodiesel, we had a working capital deficiency of $4,909,659. During the three months ended February 28, 2014, we incurred a loss of $1,481,441 and had negative cash flow from operations of $697,254. Our Sombra facility is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a Foreign Renewable Fuel Producer and as a result the biodiesel produced at this facility is eligible for export to the United States. Obtaining this approval from the EPA enables us to sell our biodiesel into the U.S., and provides our U.S. importers the ability to generate Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs"). RINs are used in the U.S. to track compliance with Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (“RFS2”) and are generated when a gallon of biodiesel is produced or imported into the U.S. We began commercial operation and formal training of our employees at the Sombra plant in November 2012.

On October 12, 2012, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-182302) for our initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On October 30, 2012, we consummated our IPO pursuant to which we sold 560,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price $5.00 per Unit and raised net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after deducting the underwriting fees and offering expenses. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, $.001 par value (“Common Stock”), (ii) one Class A warrant, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.50 (each a “Class A Warrant”), and (iii) one Class B warrant, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 (each a “Class B Warrant”).

On February 19, 2013, we completed a private placement under which we sold 425,000 Units at a price of $4.00 per Unit and raised net proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, after deducting the sales commission and fees. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) one Class A Warrant and (iii) one Class B Warrant (the “February 2013 Private Placement”).

In August 2013, we raised gross proceeds of $50,000 in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act (the “Regulation S Private Placement”), and issued 28,248 shares of Common Stock and 28,248 five-year Common Stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 per share (“Reg S Warrant”). Under the Regulation S Private Placement, we were authorized to sell, issue and deliver up to 1,000,000 units at a price per unit equal to the closing price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding each closing plus $0.125. Each unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one Reg S Warrant.

In September 2013, we issued 138,654 Series A-1 Units to accredited investors at a price of $2.38 per unit under our Series A-1 Private Placement and raised net proceeds of approximately $280,000, after deducting the sales commission and fees. Each unit consists of one share of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and one Series A-1 Warrant. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock entitles its holders when, as and if declared by the Board to receive a 10% annual dividend payable in arrears in shares of Common stock or in cash at our option. The Series A-1 Units were being offered at a price per unit equal to the closing price per share of Common stock on the trading day immediately preceding each closing plus $0.125.

In October 2013, we issued 122,128 Series A-2 Units to accredited investors at a price of $2.395 per unit under our Series A-2 Private Placement and raised net proceeds of approximately $250,000, after deducting the sales commission and fees. Each unit consists of one share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and one Series A-2 Warrant. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock entitles its holders when, as and if declared by the Board to receive a 10% annual dividend payable in arrears in shares of Common Stock or in cash at our option. The Series A-2 Units were being offered at a price per unit equal to the closing price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding each closing plus $0.125.

In November 2013, we commenced a private offering of 1,281,161 common stock units ("Common Stock Units") at $2.00 per unit (the “Common Stock Unit Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one five year Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, which are exercisable beginning six months after the issuance date (the “Common Stock Warrant”). In November 2013, we sold an aggregate of 200,000 Common Stock Units to accredited investors and raised net proceeds of approximately $363,000, after deducting the sales commission and fees, in the Common Stock Unit Private Placement.

On November 18, 2013, we entered into the Consulting Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to issue 100,000 shares of Common Stock in four equal installments to a consultant as payment for services rendered and to be rendered by the consultant to us. The number of shares of Common Stock was determined based on the $2.08 per share closing market price on November 18, 2013. To date, 50,000 shares of Common Stock have been issued to a consultant pursuant to the Consulting Agreement.

On December 9, 2013, we signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire the assets of OTC Energy Technologies Inc. (“OTC”), including all of OTC’s technologies and know how relating to the conversion of several types of biomass into a chemical quality syngas which can be converted into renewable alcohols and fuels. The LOI is subject to execution and delivery of a mutually satisfactory purchase agreement and is not a binding commitment of either party.

On December 16, 2013, Methes Canada entered into a one year term Mortgage Loan Agreement for $2,000,000 (CDN) bearing interest at 9% per annum for the purposes of discharging the existing July 2013 Facility ($1,600,000 (CDN)), as described in Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The difference will be used to upgrade the Mississauga facility for the production of biodiesel. Interest only is to be paid monthly and the term is renewable for an additional year.

On December 20, 2013, we completed the Common Stock Unit Private Placement and issued an additional 1,081,161 Common Stock Units to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per unit which raised additional net proceeds of approximately $1,877,000, after deducting the sales commission and fees.

On January 3, 2014, we issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock in payment of consulting fees due to a consultant which was valued at $87,250, based on the closing market price of $3.49 per share on the date of issuance, of which $76,818 was included in prepaid expenses as at February 28, 2014.

On January 10, 2014, we sold 50,000 Common Stock Units to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $125,000 (or $2.50 per Common Stock Unit) of which $100,000 was paid in cash and $25,000 was settled through services rendered to us, which was included in the selling, general and administrative expenses. Each unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one five year warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock at $4.00 per share. The aggregate fair value of the units sold was $310,000 (or $6.20 per Common Stock Unit), based on the closing market price of $3.58 per share of Common Stock on the date of issuance, and the fair value of the warrants of $2.62 per warrant. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected life of 5 years, risk free interest rates of 1.64%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected volatility of 100%. The excess of the estimated fair value over the purchase price in the amount of $185,000 is included in the selling, general and administrative expenses.

On January 17, 2014, we converted $128,000 USD of the outstanding principal due on the January 2013 Note into 34,688 shares of Common Stock based on the closing market price of $3.69 per share of Common Stock on January 17, 2014.

On January 28, 2014, we issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock in payment of consulting fees to be rendered by a consulting corporation for a term of one year. These shares of Common Stock were valued at $88,750, based on the closing market price of $3.55 on the date of issuance, of which $73,958 was included in prepaid expenses as at February 28, 2014.

On February 13, 2014, Methes Canada entered into an agreement with a Canadian Company to produce biodiesel at the Mississauga facility. Pursuant to that agreement: (i) Methes Canada has agreed to provide use and occupancy of the Mississauga facility to the Canadian Company for a term of 18 months commencing May 1, 2014, with an option to renew, for a monthly minimum payment of $6,960 (CDN); and (ii) the Canadian Company will provide the working capital for the production of biodiesel including the purchase of feedstock and other commodities for the purpose of biodiesel production.

Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations

The principal factors affecting our results of operations are as follows:

Biodiesel and feedstock price fluctuations

Biodiesel is a low carbon, renewable alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel and is primarily sold to the end user after it has been blended with petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel prices have historically been correlated to petroleum-based diesel fuel prices. Accordingly, biodiesel prices have generally been affected by the same factors that affect petroleum prices, such as worldwide economic conditions, wars and other political events, OPEC production quotas, changes in refining capacity and natural disasters. Recently enacted government requirements and incentive programs, such as RFS2 and the blenders' tax credit, which expired on December 31, 2013, have reduced this correlation, although it remains a significant factor in the market price of our product.

Our operating results also generally reflect the relationship between the price of biodiesel and the price of the feedstock used to produce biodiesel. Spot market prices for virgin vegetable oil or used vegetable oil or rendered animal fat may increase, which would adversely affect our gross margins. The price of vegetable oil, as with most other products made from crops, is affected by weather, disease, changes in government incentives, demand and other factors. A significant reduction in the supply of vegetable oil because of weather or disease, or increases in the demand for vegetable oil, could result in higher feedstock prices. The price of vegetable oil and other feedstock has fluctuated significantly in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future.

Government programs related to biodiesel production and use

Biodiesel has been more expensive to produce than petroleum-based diesel fuel and as a result the industry depends on Canadian and U.S. federal and, to a lesser extent, provincial and state usage requirements and tax incentives.

On July 1, 2010, RFS2 was implemented, stipulating volume requirements for the amount of biomass-based diesel that must be utilized in the United States each year. Under RFS2, obligated parties, including petroleum refiners and fuel importers, must show compliance with these standards. The RFS2 program required the domestic use of 800 million gallons of biodiesel in 2011, one billion gallons in 2012 and 1.28 billion gallons in 2013. The 2014 quantity was set at 1.7 billion gallons under RSF2 but as of March 2014 the EPA is considering keeping the 2014 quantity at 1.28 billion gallons.

Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”)

RINs are used to track compliance with RFS2 and are generated when a gallon of biodiesel is produced or imported into the U.S. In late 2011 and early 2012 the EPA announced that some U.S. producers had generated and sold invalid RINs. The loss of integrity and confidence in the RINs market affected the demand as well as the price of biodiesel. As a result, the demand for RINs from small and medium size biodiesel producers declined dramatically. As a small and medium size producer, we and our existing customers have been directly affected by this situation. A portion of the price of a gallon of biodiesel includes a dollar value attributed to RINs. If a buyer of biodiesel cannot verify the integrity of the RINs attached to the biodiesel the buyer might not want to purchase or might ask for a discount creating a situation for the producer where it is not profitable to produce biodiesel.

In February 2013, the EPA introduced a new Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) that would allow for buyers of RINs to verify their validity. The QAP provides a clear path and system for independent third parties, approved by the EPA, to audit and monitor, on an ongoing basis, the production of biodiesel and verify that RINs have been correctly generated. The QAP, once fully in place, will be retroactive to January 1, 2013.

Seasonal fluctuations

Our operating results are influenced by seasonal fluctuations in the price of biodiesel. Our sales tend to decrease during the winter season due to perceptions that biodiesel will not perform adequately in colder weather. Colder seasonal temperatures can cause the higher cloud point biodiesel we make from inedible animal fats to become cloudy and eventually gel at a higher temperature than petroleum-based diesel or lower cloud point biodiesel made from soybean, canola or inedible corn oil. Reduced demand in the winter for our higher cloud point biodiesel may result in excess supply of such higher cloud point biodiesel or lower prices for such higher cloud point biodiesel. In addition, our production facilities are located in Canada and our costs of shipping biodiesel to warmer climates generally increase in cold weather months.

Dependence on significant customers

A large part of our revenue is generated from a few large customers. The sales to these customers are made at spot market prices, and we have no binding purchase agreements for our biodiesel, which could affect the consistency of our revenues. Potential customers for biodiesel regularly bid for biodiesel in the spot market at prices that are quoted on a daily basis. As a matter of convenience, we prefer to deal with customers with whom we have had a past relationship, although the specific customers to whom we sell have varied over time. The loss of one or more customers who have been among our largest customers historically would not have a material adverse effect on our business because we believe that a customer or customers could be replaced by one or more new customers regularly bidding for biodiesel, and we believe this will continue to be the case. For example, in the three months ended February 28, 2014, 71% of our total revenue was from one major customer who was also our largest customer during the year ended November 30, 2013. This customer accounted for 44% of our total revenue during the same period in fiscal 2013.

Lengthy sales cycle

The sale of one of our Denami processors in a particular financial period would have a significant effect on our quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year results. The purchase of our Denami processors involves a significant commitment of capital by customers, with the attendant delays frequently associated with large capital expenditures. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with our Denami processors is typically lengthy, varying from 6 to 18 months. The lengthy sales cycles of our equipment sales, as well as the size and timing of orders, make it difficult to forecast our future results of operations.

Three months ended February 28, 2013 compared to three months ended February 28, 2014

Revenue. Our total revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 were $210,110 and $378,479, respectively, representing an increase of $168,369, or 80%. The reasons for this increase are outlined below.

Biodiesel. Biodiesel sales for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, excluding government incentives, were $130,436 and $309,537, respectively, an increase of approximately $179,100, or 137%. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, our resales of biodiesel purchased from third party producers were $47,713 and $124,764, respectively, an increase of approximately $77,051, or 161%. Revenue from our internal production, excluding government incentives, for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 was $82,723 and $184,773, respectively, an increase of $102,050, or 123%. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, our average sales price per gallon for 100 percent biodiesel (“B100”) was $4.48 and $5.08, respectively, an increase of $0.60 per gallon, or 13%. Gallons sold for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and 2014 were 29,000 and 61,000 gallons, respectively, an increase of 32,000 gallons, or 110%.

The increase in revenue from the sales of our biodiesel and the resales of biodiesel purchased from others was primarily due to increases in sales price and sales volume. The increase in volume was mainly due to the commencement of production at our Sombra facility which is at a larger scale than at Mississauga facility in prior quarter which only has a capacity of 1.3 mgy versus 13 mgy capacity at Sombra facility. The expiration of the blender’s tax credit (“BTC”) on December 31, 2012 was retroactively extended to December 31, 2013 which increased the biodiesel price and demand in 2013. The BTC expired again on December 31, 2013 which, combined with an extremely cold winter, reduced the demand for biodiesel in the first fiscal quarter of 2014.

Feedstock. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, feedstock sales were $44,184 and $26,623, respectively, a decrease of $17,561, or 40%. In the more recent period, with some variations in quantities, we were able to source additional feedstock as well as other products related to the production of biodiesel on the spot market that we resold immediately to our customers in Canada at a profit. We intend to continue with this strategy as opportunities arise to generate additional profit.

Glycerin. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, Glycerin sales were $13,806 and $13,197, respectively, a decrease of $609.

Government incentives. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 we received $8,879 and $13,035, respectively, an increase of $4,156, or 47%. This increase was due to the increase in the sales volume of biodiesel.

Equipment sales. For three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 we generated $nil and $647, respectively, from equipment sales. Effective January 30, 2014, we entered into a sale and licensing agreement with an Aruba company pursuant to which they agreed to the purchase of a Denami 600 processor and license our software and monitoring system. We believe that the Denami 600 will be used for the local production of biodiesel in Aruba and is expected to be built and delivered to Aruba by about September 2014.

Royalties. For three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 we received royalties of $3,982 and $nil, respectively. Our customers own the Denami 600 processors, but license the software and monitoring system from us in exchange for an ongoing royalty payment $0.11 per gallon of biodiesel produced by their Denami 600 processors.

Other. Other revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 was $8,823 and $15,440, respectively, an increase of $6,617, or 75%, primarily due to recovery of accounts receivable previously written off. Other revenue includes recovery of prior year sales and other miscellaneous sales.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 were $189,529 and $292,618, respectively, an increase of $103,089, or 54%. This increase was primarily due to increase in costs associated with the increased quantity of biodiesel sold in the three months ended February 28, 2014.

Biodiesel cost of goods sold increased by $108,000 to $213,000, or 103%, for the three months ended February 28, 2014 compared to cost of goods sold of $105,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2013. If the average feedstock price and the price paid for biodiesel purchased from other biodiesel producers in Canada remained constant for the three months ended February 28, 2014 compared to the same fiscal period in 2014, the increase in gallons of biodiesel sold would have resulted in $114,000 increase in the related biodiesel cost of goods sold. For the three months ended February 28, 2014, the increase in cost of goods sold was lower because of a $17,000 decrease in average feedstock prices, which was offset by an $11,000 increase in the price paid for biodiesel purchased from others.

All other costs of goods sold, excluding biodiesel cost of goods sold, for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 were $84,169 and $78,869, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales of feedstock as a result of lower feedstock demand.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, were $1.29 million and $1.46 million, respectively, an increase of $170,000, or 13%. This increase was mainly related to an increase in professional fees of $339,000 as a result of an increase in consulting services and audit fees which was offset by a decrease in operating expenses including, but not limited to, a decrease in utilities of $130,000, a decrease in shop supplies of $18,000 and a decrease in travel expenses of $13,000.

Other expenses and income. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, we incurred interest expenses of $120,824 and $102,035, respectively. These amounts relate to accruals for interest expense associated with our outstanding loans. The decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of 2014 was mainly due to the decrease in the interest rate on our term loan from 23% in fiscal 2013 to 12% in fiscal 2014. See Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, we paid term loan interest of $86,250 and $43,718, respectively.

Income taxes. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded during the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014 due to ongoing taxable losses. As of February 28, 2014, we were not subject to any uncertain tax exposures.

Net loss. For the three months ended February 28, 2014 our net loss was increased by approximately $90,000 to $1.48 million from $1.39 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013. The increase of our net loss is primarily due to the $170,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses that were slightly offset by revenues and resultant $65,000 increase in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of liquidity. Since inception, a significant portion of our operations was financed through the sale of our capital stock. At November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $174,084 and $291,834 respectively.

During the three months ended February 28, 2014, we raised net cash proceeds of approximately $1.87 million from the Common Stock Unit Private Placement which was completed in December 2013.

On December 16, 2013, Methes Canada entered into a one year term Mortgage Loan Agreement for $1,806,000 ($2,000,000 CDN) bearing interest at 9% per annum (the “December 2013 Loan”) for the purposes of discharging the July 2013 Facility ($1,600,000 (CDN)), described in Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report. The difference will be used to upgrade the Mississauga facility for the production of biodiesel.

In connection with all borrowings to purchase feedstock, Methes Canada issued a promissory note to the lender bearing a per annum interest rate equal to the Bank of Montreal Prime Rate plus sixteen percent (16%) and is due and payable upon the earlier of demand or August 13, 2014. The effective interest rate as of February 28, 2014 was 19% (16% plus 3% prime rate). Under the terms of the promissory note, interest only is payable monthly on the last business day of each calendar month. Cash advances against accounts receivables will be based on the amount of the receivables net of a purchase discount as agreed with the lender with an interest rate of Bank of Montreal Prime Rate plus three percent (3%). Effective interest rate as of February 28, 2014 was 6% (3% plus 3% prime rate). The amounts outstanding under this promissory note must be recorded on the grid schedule provided by the lender. As of February 28, 2014 balance was $nil (February 28, 2013 - $nil).

Cash flow. The following table presents information regarding our cash flows and cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014:

Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.16 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013. For the three months ended February 28, 2013, the net loss was $1.4 million, which includes total non-cash items for depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense and unrealized foreign exchange gain of $107,000. The net cash used in operating activities included a net working capital increase of $129,000. Working capital increases were a result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $336,000, an increase in customer deposits of $419,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and deposits of $8,000 offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $37,000 and an increase in inventories of $597,000. The net result was cash used in operations of $1.16 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $697,254 for the three months ended February 28, 2014. For the three months ended February 28, 2014, the net loss was $1.481 million, which includes total non-cash items for depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, unrealized foreign exchange gain, deferred financing fees amortization, accrued interest and issuance of common stock for services of 378,966. The net cash used in operating activities included a net working capital increase of $405,221. Working capital increases were a result of an increase in customer deposits of $920, a decrease in inventories of 265,600, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,012,760 offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $902,276, and a decrease of prepaid expenses and deposits of $28,217. The net result was cash used in operations of $697,254. Our current operating cash requirement is approximately $273,000 per month. However, once our Sombra facility commences full-scale production, we expect to generate positive cash flow from operations.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $190,000, consisting of additions to property, plant and equipment, mainly representing costs related to our Sombra facility. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2014 was $52,000, consisting of additions to property, plant and equipment, mainly representing costs related to our Sombra facility.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $1.85 million, which mainly included cash proceeds received from private issuances of common stock of $1.42 million and short-term loan of $397,000 (CDN$400,000). Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended February 28, 2014 was $867,000, which mainly included cash proceeds from the private issuance of common stock of $1.8 million offset by payment of financing from credit facility of $1.02 million.

During the three months ended February 28, 2014, we took steps to improve our cash and working capital positions by: (i) obtaining the December 2013 Loan; (ii) raising net cash proceeds of approximately $1.87 million from the Common Stock Unit Private Placement which was completed in December 2013; (iii) on January 10, 2014, selling 50,000 Common Stock Units to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $125,000 (or $2.50 per Common Stock Unit) of which, $100,000 was paid in cash and $25,000 was paid in services rendered; and (iv) on January 17, 2014, we converted $128,000 USD (CDN $139,845) of the outstanding principal due on the January 2013 Note, described in Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report, into 34,688 shares of Common Stock based on the closing market price of $3.69 per share of Common Stock on January 17, 2014.

We anticipate that our Sombra facility will generate positive cash flow from operations and will operate profitably once sufficient level of commercial operation is achieved in the second half of the current fiscal year. It is management’s opinion that our cash and cash equivalents, the anticipated positive cash flow from operations and cash from additional financing which is currently under negotiations, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Capital Expenditures. We have expended $8.45 million to purchase our Sombra facility, retrofit that facility and equip it so it can begin full scale production of biodiesel. These funds were expended as follows: $2.03 million for the original purchase price of the facility; $1.56 million for the costs of retrofitting and $4.85 million for Denami 3000 processors, storage tanks and other production equipment. The funds used to purchase and complete the Sombra facility were provided by the cash proceeds from private sales of Common Stock, monies borrowed from a stockholder and the June 2012 Term Loan Facility, as described in Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report.

Future commitments. We otherwise have no material commitments for future capital expenditures.

Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) one Class A Warrant and (iii) one Class B Warrant.

We have used approximately $856,000 of the net proceeds received from the IPO for the purchase and construction of production and storage equipment, and retrofitting the building at our Sombra facility, $285,000 for repayment of loans and the balance of approximately $659,000 for working capital. We expect to withdraw funds from working capital over the coming months to pay for production and storage equipment and upgrade of rail tracks at our Sombra facility and to pay for additional marketing and sale expenses as described in our final prospectus dated October 12, 2012.
