CLEAN DIESEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
     In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “CDT,” “Clean Diesel,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Clean Diesel International, LLC.
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Clean Diesel’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Reclassifications:
     Some amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Revision of Prior Period Amounts:
     In preparing its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010, Clean Diesel identified certain errors related to accounting for patents. These errors resulted in the overstatement of Patents, net and the understatement of patent costs for 2009. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (“SAB 99 and SAB 108”), Clean Diesel evaluated these errors and determined that they were immaterial to each reporting period affected and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports was not required. However, if the adjustments to correct the cumulative errors had been recorded in the first quarter 2010, Clean Diesel believes the impact would have been significant to the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and would impact comparisons to prior periods. As permitted by SAB 108, Clean Diesel revised in its first quarter 2010 filing and will revise in future filings of its quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements previously reported annual and quarterly results for 2009 for these immaterial amounts.
     The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009 was revised to reflect the cumulative effect of these errors which resulted in an increase in Accumulated deficit of $185,000. Also, in accordance with SAB 108, the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been revised as follows:

Revenue Recognition:
     The Company generates revenue from sales of emission reduction products including Purifier system hardware; ARIS® advanced reagent injection system injectors and dosing systems; fuel-borne catalysts, including the Platinum Plus® fuel-borne catalyst products and concentrate; and license and royalty fees from the ARIS system and other technologies.
     Revenue is recognized when earned. For technology licensing fees paid by licensees that are fixed and determinable, accepted by the customer and nonrefundable, revenue is recognized upon execution of the license agreement, unless it is subject to completion of any performance criteria specified within the agreement, in which case it is deferred until such performance criteria are met. Royalties are frequently required pursuant to license agreements or may be the subject of separately executed royalty agreements. Revenue from royalties is recognized ratably over the royalty period based upon periodic reports submitted by the royalty obligor or based on minimum royalty requirements. Revenue from product sales is recognized when title has passed and our products are shipped to our customer, unless the purchase order or contract specifically requires us to provide installation for hardware purchases. For hardware projects in which we are responsible for installation (either directly or indirectly by third-party contractors), revenue is recognized when the hardware is installed and/or accepted, if the project requires inspection and/or acceptance.
     Generally, our license agreements are non-exclusive and specify the geographic territories and classes of diesel engines covered, such as on-road vehicles, off-road vehicles, construction, stationary engines, marine and railroad engines. At the time of the execution of our license agreement, we assign the right to the licensee to use our patented technologies. The up-front fees are not subject to refund or adjustment. We recognize the license fee as revenue at the inception of the license agreement when we have reasonable assurance that the technologies transferred have been accepted by the licensee and collectability of the license fee is reasonably

assured. The nonrefundable up-front fee is in exchange for the culmination of the earnings process as the Company has accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenue. Under our license agreements, there is no significant obligation for future performance required of the Company. Each licensee must determine if the rights to our patented technologies are usable for their business purposes and must determine the means of use without further involvement by the Company. In most cases, licensees must make additional investments to enable the capabilities of our patents, including significant engineering, sourcing of and assembly of multiple components. Our obligation to defend valid patents does not represent an additional deliverable to which a portion of an arrangement fee should be allocated. Defending the patents is generally consistent with our representation in the license agreement that such patents are legal and valid.
Valuation of Accounts Receivable:
     Management reviews the creditworthiness of a customer prior to accepting an initial order. Upon review of the customer’s credit application and confirmation of the customer’s credit and bank references, management establishes the customer’s terms and credit limits. Credit terms for payment of products are extended to customers in the normal course of business and no collateral is required. We receive order acknowledgements from customers confirming their orders prior to our fulfillment of orders. To determine the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which adjusts gross trade accounts receivable downward to estimated net realizable value, management considers the ongoing financial stability of the Company’s customers, the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical losses and recoveries, and general business trends and existing economic conditions that impact our industry and customers. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance against amounts due from that customer, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. An account is written off only after management has determined that all available means of collection, including legal remedies, are exhausted.
Cost of Revenue:
     Our cost of product sales includes the costs we incur to formulate our finished products into saleable form for our customers, including material costs, labor and processing costs charged to us by our outsourced blenders, installers and other vendors, packaging costs incurred by our outsourced suppliers, freight costs to customers and inbound freight charges from our suppliers. Our inventory is primarily maintained off-site by our outsourced suppliers. To date, our purchasing, receiving, inspection and internal transfer costs have been insignificant and have been included in cost of product sales. Cost of licensing fees and royalties is zero as there are no incremental costs associated with the revenue.
Patent Expense:
     Patents, which include all direct incremental costs associated with initial patent filings and costs to acquire rights to patents under licenses, are stated at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining useful lives, ranging from one to twenty years. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we capitalized $95,000 of patent costs and recognized a $3,000 loss on the abandonment of certain patents and patent applications. Indirect and other patent-related costs are expensed as incurred. Patent amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $17,000 and $33,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, amortization expense was $15,000 and $26,000, respectively. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s patents, net of accumulated amortization, were $957,000 and $898,000, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share:
     Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The Company’s computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 does not include common share equivalents associated with 768,744 and 948,078 options, respectively, and 399,528 and 407,493 warrants, respectively, as the result would be anti-dilutive. Further, per share effects of the 26,667 and 40,000 unvested restricted shares under a stock award have not been included in the diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as the result would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes:
     At June 30, 2010, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. It is the Company’s policy to classify in the financial statements accrued interest and penalties attributable to a tax position as income taxes.
     Utilization of CDT’s U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards for the period prior to December 12, 1995 is limited as a result of the ownership change in excess of 50% attributable to the 1995 Fuel-Tech N.V. rights offering to a maximum annual allowance of $734,500. Utilization of CDT’s U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards for the period after December 12, 1995 and before December 30, 2006 is limited as a result of the ownership change in excess of 50% attributable to the private placement which was effective December 29, 2006 to a maximum annual allowance of $2,518,985. Utilization of CDT’s tax losses subsequent to 2006 may be limited due to cumulative ownership changes in any future three-year period.
     We file our tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our tax years after 2006 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
     The Company’s assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis are its investments (see Note 2). The investments have been classified within level 3 in the valuation hierarchy as their valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market due to the lack of trading in the securities. The valuation may be revised in future periods as market conditions evolve.
     Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued expenses and short-term debt.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
     In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improved disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements and disclosures in Overall Subtopic 820-10 of the FASB Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Note 2. Investments
     Classification of investments as current or non-current is dependent upon management’s intended holding period, the security’s maturity date and liquidity considerations based on market conditions. At December 31, 2009, the Company classified all investments as current based on management’s intention and ability to liquidate the investments within twelve months.
     At December 31, 2009, the Company’s investments consist of auction rate securities (“ARS”) and an auction rate securities right (“ARSR”). The Company accounts for its ARS investments based upon accounting standards that provide for determination of the appropriate classification of investments. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in other income (expense) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
     The Company’s ARSR investment is accounted for based upon a standard that provides a fair value option election that allows entities to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur for those assets or liabilities for which the election is made. The election is made on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument.

Table of Contents

     The Company’s investments are reported at fair value in accordance with accounting standards that accomplish the following key objectives:
    Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date;
 
    Establishes a three-level hierarchy (“valuation hierarchy”) for fair value measurements;
 
    Requires consideration of the Company’s creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and
 
    Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.
     The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy are as follows:
    Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
    Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
    Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
     The Company’s investments as of December 31, 2009 have been classified within level 3 as their valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market due to the lack of trading in the securities. Investments are comprised of the following:

     Our ARS are variable-rate debt securities, most of which are AAA/Aaa rated, that are collateralized by student loans substantially guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. While the underlying securities have a long-term nominal maturity, the interest rate is reset through dutch auctions that are typically held every 28 days. The contractual maturities of our ARS range from 2027 to 2047. Auctions for our ARS have failed since February 2008 resulting in illiquid investments for the Company. Our ARS were purchased and held through UBS. In October 2008, the Company received an offer (the “Offer”) from UBS AG for a put right permitting us to sell to UBS at par value all ARS previously purchased from UBS at a future date (any time during a two-year period beginning June 30, 2010). The Offer also included a commitment to loan us 75% of the UBS-determined value of the ARS at any time until the put is exercised. We accepted the Offer on November 6, 2008. Our right under the Offer is in substance a put option (with the strike price equal to the par value of the ARS) which we recorded as an asset, measured at its fair value, with the resultant gain recognized in our statement of operations.
     For the period through the date the Company accepted the Offer, the Company classified the ARS as available-for-sale; thereafter, the Company transferred the ARS to the trading category.
     The fair value of the ARS was approximately $10.6 million at December 31, 2009. The fair value of the ARS was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow approach and market evidence with respect to the ARS’s collateral, ratings and insurance to assess default risk, credit spread risk and downgrade risk. The Company also recorded the ARSR at an initial fair value of $1.3 million. The fair value of the ARSR was based on an approach in which the present value of all expected future cash flows were subtracted from the current fair market value of the securities and the resultant value was calculated as a future value at an interest rate reflective of

counterparty risk. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, recognized gains on the ARS were directly offset by losses on the ARSR, resulting in no impact on our results of operations. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a gain of $377,000 and $411,000, respectively, on the ARS and a loss of $144,000 and $250,000, respectively, on the ARSR, resulting in a $233,000 and $161,000 net gain, respectively, included in other income (expense) on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
     During the first quarter of 2010, UBS began purchasing certain of our ARS investments at par value and on June 30, 2010 we exercised our put option under the Offer and sold to UBS our remaining ARS for approximately $5.2 million, representing par value. Of this amount, approximately $3.2 million was used in July 2010 to pay down the Company’s outstanding borrowings to UBS.
     Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $31,000 and 49,000, respectively, and for the six-month periods then ended was approximately $91,000 and $141,000, respectively. Accrued interest receivable at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was approximately $3,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Note 4. Short-term Debt
     On July 25, 2008, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from the demand loan facility with UBS collateralized by our ARS, a facility we had arranged in May 2008. Management determined to draw down the entire facility as a matter of financial prudence to secure available cash. The loan facility was available for our working capital purposes and required that we continue to meet certain collateral maintenance requirements, such that our outstanding borrowings could not exceed 50% of the value of our ARS as determined by the lender. No facility fee was required. Borrowings bore interest at a floating interest rate per annum equal to the sum of the prevailing daily 30-day Libor plus 25 basis points.
     In November 2008, we accepted the Offer from UBS AG (see Note 2). UBS committed to loan us 75% of the value of the ARS as determined by UBS at any time until the ARSR is exercised. We applied for the loan which UBS committed would be on a no net cost basis to the Company. UBS approved our credit application on January 14, 2009 and approved a $6.5 million credit facility pursuant to its Offer. On September 4, 2009, we arranged an increase of the credit line to $7.7 million.

Table of Contents

     The outstanding balance of the short-term debt at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $3.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively. In July 2010, pursuant to the terms of our agreement with UBS, we used a portion of the proceeds from our sale of ARS investments to pay down the remaining UBS borrowings.
     Interest expense was approximately $20,000 and $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $47,000 and $32,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively. Accrued interest payable at June 30, 2010 was approximately $1,000.
Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity
     In March 2009, we issued 40,000 restricted shares of our common stock under our Incentive Plan (see Note 6).
     In the first six months of 2010, 7,965 of the Company’s outstanding warrants expired. At June 30, 2010, the Company had 399,528 warrants outstanding, exercisable at a weighted-average exercise price of $11.52 with a weighted-average remaining life of 2.0 years.
Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company maintains a stock award plan approved by its stockholders, the Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, awards may be granted to participants in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards, bonuses or other forms of share-based awards or cash, or combinations of these as determined by the board of directors. Awards are granted at fair market value on the date of grant and typically expire ten years after date of grant. Participants in the Plan may include the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors (except consultants or advisors in capital-raising transactions) as the board of directors may determine. The maximum number of awards allowed under the Plan is 17.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock less the then outstanding awards, subject to sufficient authorized shares.
     Share-based compensation cost recognized under ASC 718 was approximately $27,000 and $212,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $57,000 and $418,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and restricted shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years.
     The following table summarizes information concerning stock options outstanding including the related transactions under the Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

     The aggregate intrinsic value (market value of stock less option exercise price) in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price on June 30, 2010, which would have been received by the holders had all holders of awards and options in the money exercised their options as of that date.
     No stock options were exercised in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
     In 2009, the board of directors awarded 40,000 shares to the newly-elected Chief Executive Officer at an average market price of $1.625 per share, representing the high and low market price on the date of award, March 30, 2009. These shares vest as to one-third

of the total on each of February 10, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The total fair value of the award was $65,000 which is being charged to expense over the vesting period.
     The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the expected term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk free interest rate, option forfeiture rates, and dividends, if any. The expected term of the options is based upon the historical term until exercise or expiration of all granted options. The expected volatility is derived from the historical volatility of the Company’s stock on the U.S. NASDAQ Capital Market (the Over-the-Counter market prior to October 3, 2007) for a period that matches the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is the constant maturity rate published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that corresponds to the expected term of the option. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The estimate is based on the Company’s historical rates of forfeitures. ASC 718 also requires estimated forfeitures to be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The dividend yield is assumed as 0% because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
     From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of existing proceedings will be favorable for the Company or that they will not be material to the Company’s business, results of operations or financial position. However, the Company does not currently believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, results or financial position.
     On April 30, 2010, the Company received a complaint from the Hartford, Connecticut office of the U.S. Department of Labor under Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2001, Title VIII of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, alleging that Ms. Ann B. Ruple, former Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Clean Diesel, had been subject to discriminatory employment practices. The Company’s Board of Directors terminated Ms. Ruple’s employment on April 19, 2010. The complainant in this proceeding does not demand specific relief. However, the statute provides that a prevailing employee shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole, including compensatory damages which may be reinstatement, back pay with interest, front pay, and special damages such as attorney’s and expert witness fees. The Company responded on June 14, 2010, denying the allegations of the complaint. Based upon current information, management, after consultation with legal counsel defending the Company’s interests, believes the ultimate disposition will have no material effect upon the Company’s business, results or financial position.
Note 8. Related Party Transactions
     Mr. Park, our Chairman, is also a principal and chairman of Innovator Capital Limited, a financial services company based in London, England, which firm has provided services to the Company. On November 20, 2009, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Innovator to provide financing and merger and acquisition services (“Engagement Letter”). The Engagement Letter had an initial three month term during which Innovator would (i) act for the Company in arranging a private placement financing of $3.0 million to $4.0 million from the sale of the Company’s common stock and warrants and (ii) assist the Company in merger and acquisition activities. Effective February 20, 2010, the Company extended the term of the Engagement Letter to June 30, 2010 and revised the minimum and maximum range of private placement financing to $1.0 million to $1.5 million.
     For its financing services, Innovator will receive (i) a placing commission of five percent (5%) of all monies received by the Company and (ii) financing warrants to acquire shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross proceeds received by the Company in the financing, such financing warrants to be exercisable at a price equal to a ten percent (10%) premium to the price per share of common stock in the financing. Issuance of the financing warrants is contingent on the stockholders of the Company authorizing additional common stock.
     For its merger and acquisition services, Innovator will receive monthly retainer fees of $10,000 and success fees as a percentage of transaction value of five percent (5%) on the first $10.0 million, four percent (4%) on the next $3.0 million, three percent (3%) on the next $2.0 million, and two percent (2%) on amounts above $15.0 million in connection with possible merger and acquisition transactions. Success fees are payable in cash or shares or a combination of cash or shares as determined by the Board of the Company (see Note 14).

Table of Contents

     The Engagement Letter further provides that retainer fees may be deducted from success fees, that Innovator shall be reimbursed for its ordinary and necessary out of pocket expenses, that the Engagement Letter is subject to Delaware law, and that disputes between the parties are subject to arbitration.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 include $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, related to services rendered by Innovator Capital under the terms of the Engagement Letter.
     Effective January 27, 2010, we engaged David F. Merrion, a director of the Company, to perform consulting services for us as an expert witness in an administrative proceeding related to a patent application with respect to diesel engine technology. For these services, which commenced February 1, 2010 and were completed on March 16, 2010, Mr. Merrion was paid approximately $20,000, at the rate of $300 per hour or a daily maximum of $3,000 per day.

Note 12. Severance Charges
     On February 10, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors elected Michael L. Asmussen as President and Chief Executive Officer replacing Dr. Bernhard Steiner. As a consequence of his termination of employment, Dr. Steiner was entitled to salary of approximately $315,445 (EUR 241,500) per annum until September 13, 2010, the remainder of his contract term, along with specified expenses not to exceed an aggregate of approximately $4,300, to be paid in monthly installments. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized a severance charge of $510,000 for this obligation. As a result of Dr. Steiner’s death on June 26, 2010, the Company’s obligation under his severance arrangement ceased and the remaining severance accrual of $60,000 was reversed into income.
     On August 4, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a plan to implement a company-wide reduction in force effective August 7, 2009. In accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, the Company recognized approximately $448,000 in severance charges in the third quarter of 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company reversed $103,000 of its severance accrual to recognize a reduction in the Company’s obligations under these severance arrangements.

Note 13. Merger
     On May 13, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Catalytic Solutions, Inc. (“CSI”) (AIM: CTS and CTSU), a global manufacturer and distributor of emissions control systems and products based in Ventura, CA. The proposed merger is a transaction that will result in the combination of the businesses of Clean Diesel and CSI, whereby CSI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clean Diesel (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement:

15


Table of Contents

    For accounting purposes, CSI is considered to be acquiring the Company.
 
    In exchange for their shares of CSI common stock, the shareholders of CSI will receive shares, and warrants to purchase shares, of Clean Diesel common stock. CSI shareholders will receive such numbers of Clean Diesel common stock so that after the Merger, CSI will own approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of Clean Diesel common stock. In addition, CSI shareholders will receive warrants to purchase up to 3 million shares of Clean Diesel common stock.
 
    The Merger is conditional among other matters on obtaining Clean Diesel stockholder approval and CSI shareholder approval and also a number of further closing requirements including that Clean Diesel and CSI each have $1.0 million in cash or equivalent at the time of the Merger.
 
    The Company will amend its certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split in a ratio ranging from 1-for-3 to 1-for-8 of all issued and outstanding shares of Clean Diesel common stock, the final ratio to be determined within the discretion of the Clean Diesel Board of Directors, to occur immediately before the closing of the Merger.
     In connection with the Merger, if successful, Innovator Capital, an investment banking firm described in Note 8, is estimated to receive a fee of approximately $761,000 (see Note 14).
     The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time of the Merger by mutual written consent. The Merger Agreement obligates each party to pay a termination fee of $300,000 in cash plus reasonable costs and expenses not to exceed $350,000 in the aggregate, to the counter party if either the Company or CSI fails to approve the merger under conditions stipulated in the Merger Agreement.
     Both CSI and Clean Diesel intend to issue additional securities prior to the Merger in order that they can finance current operations. The Company has received commitment letters from existing stockholders to raise approximately $1.0 million for the issuance of additional shares of common stock and warrants in a Regulation S offering. Under the terms of the Company’s private placement, the closing of which is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, Clean Diesel will sell units consisting of up to 654,118 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. In connection with this offering, Innovator Capital will receive a fee of $50,000, in cash and 15% of the gross proceeds of the capital raise through the issuance of 89,180 warrants to purchase common stock.
     In connection with the Merger, the Company has entered into certain employee agreements, including a Transition Services Agreement with Charles W. Grinnell, Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and a Director of the Registrant. The agreements provide for aggregate retention and transition bonuses of $250,000. Each agreement contains a termination clause to the effect that if the Merger does not occur on or before September 6, 2010, or such later date as determined by the Company, the agreements will be void and no bonus will be paid.
Note 14. Subsequent Events
     On July 15, 2010, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Michael L. Asmussen, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director. The Agreement will become effective upon the closing of the proposed Merger with CSI. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Asmussen will become the Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of the Company and CSI, and will also be a member of the board of directors. In addition, Mr. Asmussen will receive 40,000 restricted shares under the Company’s Incentive Plan. Mr. Asmussen is also entitled to certain relocation benefits under the Agreement in order to facilitate Mr. Asmussen’s move to the vicinity of the Company’s relocated headquarters in California following the Merger. The Agreement will not become effective if the Merger is not completed.
     On July 21, 2010, the Company’s board formed a Special Committee of Independent Directors (“Special Committee”) to review and consider various matters in connection with the Company’s proposed merger with CSI.
     On August 6, 2010, based upon a recommendation from the Special Committee, the Company’s board voted to extend the term of Innovator Capital’s engagement to the earlier of September 30, 2010 or the closing of the Merger and to determine the form of payment of Innovator Capital’s fee for merger and acquisition services. In connection with a successful merger with CSI, Innovator Capital’s fee will be comprised of $500,000 in cash (inclusive of monthly retainers) and 194,486 shares of Clean Diesel common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements
     Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, so-called “forward-looking statements,” are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Results of Operations
     Three Months ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2009
     Total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $411,000 compared to $375,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $36,000, or 9.6%, reflecting increased traction in the Company’s attempt to establish itself in the retrofit space. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of approximately 90.0% in product sales and 10.0% in technology licensing fees and royalties. Of our operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 91.2% was from product sales and 8.8% was from technology licensing fees and royalties. The mix of our revenue sources during any reporting period may have a material impact on our operating results. In particular, our execution of technology licensing agreements, and the timing of the revenue recognized from these agreements, has not been predictable.
     Product sales were $370,000 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $342,000 in the same quarter of 2009, an increase of $28,000. This increase in product sales was attributable primarily to higher demand for our Platinum Plus Purifier Systems, a product comprised of a diesel particulate filter along with our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst. The sales of our Purifier Systems provide us with recurring revenue from use of our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst that enables the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. We believe we will have the opportunity to expand this business opportunity as we build the certified product portfolio and infrastructure required to address additional low emission zones throughout the globe.
     Our technology licensing fees and royalties were slightly higher in 2010 with $41,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $33,000 in the same quarter of 2009. These revenues are primarily attributable to royalties related to our ARIS technologies. While we have not executed new technology license agreements in 2010, we continue our efforts to consummate technology license agreements with manufacturers and component suppliers for the use of our ARIS technologies for control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) using our selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emission control, the combination of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with SCR technologies, and hydrocarbon injection for lean NOx traps, NOx catalysts and diesel particulate filter regeneration.
     Our total cost of revenue was $220,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $217,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our cost of sales is due to higher product sales volume. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 46.5% and 42.1% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     Our cost of revenue — product sales includes the costs we incur to formulate our finished products into saleable form for our customers, including material costs, labor and processing costs charged to us by our outsourced blenders, installers and other vendors, packaging costs incurred by our outsourced suppliers, freight costs to customers and inbound freight charges from our suppliers. Our inventory is primarily maintained off-site by our outsourced suppliers. To date, our purchasing, receiving, inspection and internal transfer costs have been insignificant and have been included in cost of revenue — product sales. In addition, in 2009 the costs of our warehouse of approximately $21,000 per year were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities, because some entities include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of revenue and others like us exclude a portion of such costs from gross margin, including such costs instead within operating expenses. Cost of revenue — licensing fees and royalties is zero as there are no incremental costs associated with the revenue.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,512,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,561,000 in the comparable 2009 period, a decrease of $49,000, or 3.1%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily attributable to lower compensation and benefits, travel, rent and related occupancy expenses. These cost reductions were substantially offset by increased professional fees incurred in connection with our proposed merger with Catalytic Solutions, Inc. Selling, general and administrative expenses are summarized as follows:

     Excluding the non-cash stock-based charges, compensation and benefit expenses were $647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,033,000 in the comparable prior year period. This decrease of $386,000, or 37.4%, is due primarily to the reduction in force implemented effective August 7, 2009. The reduction in non-cash stock-based compensation reflects a reduction in the Company’s workforce and related issuance of stock-based awards.
     Expenses related to professional services increased by $445,000 to $616,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $171,000 in the comparable prior year period. The increase principally reflects legal, accounting and investment banking fees incurred in connection with our proposed merger with Catalytic Solutions, Inc.
     Reimbursement of expenses under grant program represents amounts reimbursed under a $961,000 diesel emissions reduction technology development grant from the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). The project goal is to develop and verify a Nitrogen Oxide-Particulate Matter (NOx-PM) reduction retrofit system for on- and off-road engines, including those used in Class 8 type diesel fleets. The program is administered by HARC on behalf of the Texas Environmental Research Consortium utilizing funding provided by the State of Texas. We anticipate completing the HARC program by the first quarter of 2011.
     As a result of our former Chief Executive Officer’s death on June 26, 2010, the Company’s obligation under his severance arrangement ceased. The remaining severance accrual of $60,000, was reversed into income during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     Research and development expenses were $136,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $127,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $9,000. Presently, we are working to overcome gaps in our technology and product portfolios brought about by volatile markets and past development setbacks. In addition to development of new products, our 2010 projects include field testing of fuel economy and emission control technologies in connection with our HARC project. Total research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included $4,000 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.
     Patent amortization and other patent related expense was $28,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $140,000 in the same prior year period, a decrease of $112,000. The 2009 expense includes the write-off of $133,000 in capitalized costs related to the abandonment of certain patents and patent applications not material to our business, the continued maintenance of which was judged by management to be uneconomic.
     At each reporting period, the Company evaluates the events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that patents are not recoverable. The types of events and changes in circumstances that would indicate the carrying value of our patents is not recoverable and therefore, impairment testing would be triggered include the following: permanent elimination of mandated compliance with emission reduction standards; reduction in overall market prevalence of diesel engines; obsolescence of our technologies due to new discoveries and inventions; and an adverse action or assessment against our technologies.
     Our technology is comprised of patents, patent applications, trade or service marks, data and know-how. We consider the life of our technologies to be commensurate with the remaining term of our U.S. and corresponding foreign patents. Our patents have expiration dates ranging from 2010 through 2026, with the majority of the material patents upon which we rely expiring in 2018 and beyond. We believe that we have sufficient patent coverage surrounding our core patents that effectively serves to provide us longer proprietary protection. Our patents comprise technologies that have been asserted as the technologies of choice by various automotive original

equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to meet mandates to comply with regulatory requirements that went into effect starting in 2010 (EPA 2010). We monitor evolving technologies in the automotive and other applicable industries to evaluate obsolescence of any of our patents.
     Although we have seen certain suspensions and delays in mandated emissions requirements, we expect sufficient revenue over the remaining life of the underlying patents to recover the carrying value of our patents. We believe the emission reduction mandates will be phased in over time so that despite volatility in our revenue streams, we should realize the expected revenue from our patents. Our intellectual property strategy has been to build upon our base of core technology with newer advanced technology patents developed or purchased by us. In many instances, we have incorporated the technology embodied in our core patents into patents covering specific product applications, including product design and packaging. We believe this building-block approach provides greater protection to us and our licensees than relying solely on our core patents.
     Interest income was $31,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $49,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $18,000, or 36.7%, principally due to lower invested balances.
     Other income (expense) was ($34,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $442,000 in the comparable 2009 period, a decrease of $476,000. The 2010 other income (expense) includes foreign currency transaction losses, net of gains of ($14,000), and interest expense of ($20,000). The 2009 other income (expense) is comprised of foreign currency transaction gains, net of losses of $221,000, interest expense of ($12,000) and gain on the fair value of investments of $233,000. In the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had an unrealized gain on the fair value of its investment in ARS of $377,000 and an unrealized loss of ($144,000) on its ARSR, resulting in a $233,000 net gain.
Six Months ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2009
     Total revenue for the first half of 2010 was $1,056,000 compared to $721,000 in the first half of 2009, an increase of $335,000, or 46.5%, reflecting an increase in product sales as well as licensing fees and royalties. Operating revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of approximately 93.0% in product sales and 7.0% in technology licensing fees and royalties. Total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of approximately 90.7% in product sales and 9.3% in technology licensing fees and royalties. The mix of our revenue sources during any reporting period may have a material impact on our operating results. In particular, our execution of technology licensing agreements, and the timing of the revenue recognized from these agreements, has not been predictable.
     Product sales in the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $982,000 compared to $654,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of $328,000 or 50.2%. The increase in product sales was attributable primarily to higher demand for our Platinum Plus Purifier Systems, a product comprised of a diesel particulate filter along with our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst.
     Our technology licensing fees and royalties were slightly higher in 2010 with $74,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $67,000 in the same period of 2009. These revenues are primarily attributable to royalties related to our ARIS technologies. We have not executed new technology license agreements in 2010.
     Our total cost of revenue was $685,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $451,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our cost of sales is due to an increase in sales volume. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 35.1% and 37.4% for six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with the decrease largely attributable to the mix of revenues during the periods.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,733,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $3,513,000 in the comparable 2009 period, a decrease of $780,000, or 22.2%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily attributable to lower compensation and occupancy expenses partially offset with an increase in professional services.

     The Company’s aggregate non-cash charges for the fair value of stock options and warrants in the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $57,000. This compares to $418,000 in total non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2009, of which $410,000 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses and $8,000 in research and development expenses.
     Excluding the non-cash stock-based charges, compensation and benefit expenses were $1,267,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2,049,000 in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $782,000, or 38.2%.
     Professional services include audit-related costs, legal fees, as well as investor relations and financial advisory fees. The increase principally reflects legal, accounting and investment banking fees incurred in connection with our proposed merger with Catalytic Solutions, Inc.
     We relocated our U.S. corporate offices in January 2009 and incurred rent expense on both our old and new U.S. headquarters due to the timing of our relocation and expiration of the old lease.
     Reimbursement of expenses under grant program represents amounts reimbursed under a $961,000 diesel emissions reduction technology development grant from the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). The project goal is to develop and verify a Nitrogen Oxide-Particulate Matter (NOx-PM) reduction retrofit system for on- and off-road engines, including those used in Class 8 type diesel fleets. The program is administered by HARC on behalf of the Texas Environmental Research Consortium utilizing funding provided by the State of Texas. We anticipate completing the HARC program by the first quarter of 2011.
     On February 10, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors elected Michael L. Asmussen, as President and Chief Executive Officer replacing Dr. Bernhard Steiner. Mr. Asmussen was also appointed to serve as a Director of the Company. Effective February 11, 2009, Dr. Steiner resigned as a Director of the Company. As a consequence of his termination of employment, Dr. Steiner was entitled to salary of approximately $315,445 (EUR 241,500) per annum until September 13, 2010, the remainder of his contract term, along with specified expenses not to exceed an aggregate of approximately $4,300, to be paid in monthly installments. We recognized a severance charge of $510,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 for this obligation.
     Following Dr. Steiner’s death on June 26, 2010, the Company’s obligation to provide severance payments to him ceased. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we reversed $163,000 of our severance accrual to recognize a reduction in our obligations due Dr. Steiner as well as certain severance arrangements related to our August 2009 workforce reduction.
     Research and development expenses were $189,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $186,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Presently, we are working to overcome gaps in our technology and product portfolios brought about by volatile markets and past development setbacks. Research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2009 include $8,000 of non-cash charges for the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with ASC 718.
     The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) verifications were withdrawn on two of our products in January 2009 because available test results were not accepted by EPA as meeting new emissions testing requirements for NO2 measurement. Presently, we do not intend to seek verification of these products. We have no assurance of the extent of additional testing that may be required by EPA or whether it will be adequate to remove any remaining concern the EPA may have regarding use of our fuel-borne catalyst.
     We believe that it is an essential requirement of the U.S. retrofit market that emissions control products and systems are verified under the U.S. EPA and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB) protocols in order to qualify for funding from EPA and/or

20


Table of Contents

CARB programs. Funding for these emissions control products and systems is generally limited to those products and technologies that have already been verified. Verification is also useful for commercial acceptability. We believe that the lack of CARB verification will result in a shift of U.S. retrofit revenue into future periods. We are currently working to achieve CARB verification and may have the opportunity to obtain a conditional CARB verification before all of our testing has been concluded.
     Without full CARB verification, our U.S. retrofit opportunities are limited although certain jurisdictions have been satisfied with other of our certifications. We received the EPA registration in December 1999 for the Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst for use in bulk fuel by refiners, distributors and truck fleets. In 2000, we completed the certification protocol for particulate filters and additives for use with particulate filters with VERT, the main recognized authority in Europe that tests and verifies diesel particulate filters for emissions and health effects. In 2001, the Swiss environmental agency BUWAL approved the Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst for use with particulate filters. In 2002, the U.S. Mining, Safety and Health Administration accepted Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst for use in all underground mines. In 2007, we received accreditation for our Purifier System, our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst used with a diesel particulate filter, to be sold for compliance with the emission reduction requirements established for the London LEZ. In 2009, the German Federal Environment Agency, the Umweltbundesamt (“UBA”), issued a non disapproval for sale of Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst for use in conjunction with up to 2,000 diesel particulate filters in Germany; further work will be required to remove the 2,000 unit restriction.
     In addition to emphasis on the global retrofit market, we continued to focus on fuel economy opportunities in the U.S. in non-road sectors, including rail, marine, mining and construction, and expect continued focus on these sectors by our distributors rather than through our direct selling efforts. Our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst is effective with regular sulfur diesel, ultra-low sulfur diesel, arctic diesel (kerosene) and biodiesel. When used with blends of biodiesel and ultra-low sulfur diesel, our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst prevents the normal increase in nitrogen oxides associated with biodiesel, as well as offering emission reduction in particulates and reduced fuel consumption. Platinum Plus is used to improve combustion which acts to reduce emissions and improve the performance and reliability of emission control equipment. Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst takes catalytic action into engine cylinders where it improves combustion, thereby reducing particulates, unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions, which also results in improved fuel economy. Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst lends itself to a wide range of enabling solutions including fuel economy, diesel particulate filtration, low emission biodiesel, carbon reduction and exhaust emission reduction. The improvement attributable to Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst may vary as a result of engine age, application in which the engine is used, load, duty cycle, speed, fuel quality, tire pressure and ambient air temperature.
     Patent amortization and other patent related expense was $77,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $209,000 in the same prior year period, a decrease of $132,000. The 2009 expense includes the write-off of $150,000 in capitalized costs related to the abandonment of certain patents and patent applications not material to our business, the continued maintenance of which was judged by management to be uneconomic.
     Interest income was $91,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $141,000 in the six months ended June 30,2009, a decrease of $50,000, or 35.5%, due to lower invested balances and rates of return during the 2010 period.
     Other income (expense) was ($67,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and is comprised of foreign currency transaction losses, net of gains of ($20,000) and interest expense of ($47,000). The 2009 other income (expense) of $321,000 consists of foreign currency transaction gains, net of losses of $192,000, interest expense of ($32,000) and net gain on investments of $161,000. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had an unrealized gain on the fair value of its investment in ARS of $411,000 and an unrealized loss of ($250,000) on our ARSR, resulting in a $161,000 net gain.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We require capital resources and liquidity to fund our global development and for working capital. Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending upon manufacturing volumes, the timing of deliveries and payment cycles of our customers. At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.1 million to use for our operations. Our working capital was $5.0 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $7.3 million at December 31, 2009 reflecting a decrease of $2.3 million primarily attributable to our operating losses during the period.
     Net cash used for operating activities was $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and was used primarily to fund the net loss of $2.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in working capital items. Included in the non-cash items was stock-based compensation expense of $57,000 and depreciation and amortization of $94,000.

Table of Contents

     Accounts receivable, net increased $70,000 to $218,000 at June 30, 2010 from $148,000 at December 31, 2009 due primarily to increased sales activity. Inventories, net decreased $237,000, reflecting increased product sales in the retrofit-market. Other current assets and other assets decreased $188,000 at June 30, 2010 from the December 31, 2009 levels, principally reflecting collections of other receivables. Our accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 reflecting increases in accounts payable that were partially offset by decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The decrease in accrued expenses is principally due to the payment and adjustment of severance liabilities.
     Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, principally reflecting the sale of of our ARS investments. We also used cash for investments in our patents, including patent applications in foreign jurisdictions. We expect to continue to invest in our intellectual property portfolio.
     Cash used in financing activities was approximately $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and was attributable to net repayment of borrowings under our demand loan facility with UBS.
     In October 2008, the Company received an offer (the “Offer”) from UBS for a put right permitting us to sell to UBS at par value all ARS previously purchased from UBS at a future date (any time during a two-year period beginning June 30, 2010). The Offer also included a commitment to loan us 75% of the UBS- determined value of the ARS at any time until the put is exercised. The Offer was non-transferable and expired on November 14, 2008. On November 6, 2008, the Company accepted the Offer. The Company’s right under the Offer is in substance a put option (with the strike price equal to the par value of the ARS) which it recorded as an asset, measured at its fair value.
     Classification of investments as current or non-current is dependent upon management’s intended holding period, the security’s maturity date and liquidity considerations based on market conditions. At December 31, 2009, the Company classified all investments as current based on management’s intention and ability to liquidate the investments within the next twelve months through exercise of its put right with UBS. On June 30, 2010 we exercised our put option under the Offer and sold to UBS all our remaining ARS investments for approximately $5.2 million, representing par value. Of this amount, approximately $3.2 million was used in July 2010, to pay down our outstanding borrowings to UBS.
     Our management believes that our current cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
     We have evaluated our cash burn and determined that we have sufficient resources to fund operations for the next twelve months. We continue to pay our obligations in the ordinary course as obligations become due. We continue the efforts begun in 2009 to contain our costs and eliminate those costs that are redundant or considered unnecessary with strict controls over all discretionary spending and travel costs. We have significantly reduced our ongoing cash requirements by curtailment of expenses and a 44% reduction in our work force, effective August 7, 2009. We have also restructured the Company so that each employee will manage resources based upon data-driven revenue expectations, and we have established processes to ensure organizational and individual discipline and accountability.
     We have incurred losses since inception aggregating $68.1 million, which amount includes $4.8 million of non-cash preferred stock dividends. We expect to incur losses through 2010. Although we have generated revenue from sales of our Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst, Purifier Systems, ARIS advanced reagent injector and dosing systems for selective catalytic reduction, catalyzed wire mesh filters and from technology licensing fees and royalties, revenue to date has been insufficient to cover our operating expenses, and we continue to be dependent upon sources other than operations to finance our working capital requirements. Historically, we have been primarily dependent upon funding from new and existing stockholders. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in any future financing effort to obtain the necessary working capital to support operations or if such financing is available, that it will be on acceptable terms.
     In the event that our business does not generate sufficient cash and external financing is not available or timely, we would be required to substantially reduce our level of operations in order to conserve cash and possibly seek joint ventures or other transactions, including the sale of assets. These reductions could have an adverse effect on our relationships with our customers and suppliers. Our long-term continuation is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, equity financings and other funding sources to meet our obligations.
     No dividends have been paid on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
