Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
(a) Organization
Clean Power Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on October 30, 2003 as Sphere of Language. On June 13, 2006, the Company changed its name to Clean Power Technologies Inc.
The Company incorporated Clean Energy and Power Solutions Inc. (“CEPS”) on May 12, 2006 in the State of Nevada as a wholly-owned subsidiary. |
By agreement dated May 22, 2006, the Company agreed to issue 30,765,377 common shares for all the issued and outstanding common shares of Clean Power Technologies Inc. (“CPTI private”), a privately held company, incorporated on March 14, 2006 in the State of Nevada. CPTI private is developing a project for a gas/steam or diesel/steam hybrid technology. CPTI private has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Clean Power Technologies Limited, (“CPTL-UK”) a company based in, and incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on May 10, 2006, to carry on all its research and development. On April 24, 2006, CPTI private entered a research and development agreement to fund all future costs for research, development, patenting, licensing and marketing for an alternative hybrid fuel technology that combines diesel and steam and gas (petrol) and steam technologies for a 100% ownership of the technology and any associated intellectual rights (see Note 6). CPTI private and CEPS merged on June 20, 2006 with CEPS being the surviving entity. On July 10, 2006 CEPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company when the stockholders of CPTI private tendered their remaining shares. |
The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31. |
(b) Development Stage Activities
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
The primary operations of the Company are presently undertaken by CPTL-UK. Initially, the primary focus of the Company was to develop two vehicles in order to prove their concept. The first vehicle was to be a prototype to demonstrate the technology and the second vehicle was to be an engineered vehicle to be unveiled to the auto industry. In November 2007, the Company decided to re-prioritize its development program. While development on the automobiles continued, it was decided that the fastest route to market was to focus on the development of refrigeration units for grocery trucks.
Note 2 Interim Financial Statements
While the information presented in the accompanying nine months to May 31, 2009 interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.
Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These interim consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: |
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries CEPS and CPTL-UK. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
(b) Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
(c) Continuance of Operations
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2009, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $16,684,409 since its inception, has negative working capital of $1,255,843 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company is currently seeking additional financing opportunities.
(d) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FAS 107), consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative financial instruments, and convertible notes payable.
We carry cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry notes payable and convertible debt at historical cost; however, fair values of debt instruments are estimated for disclosure purposes (below) based upon the present value of the estimated cash flows at market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (Cont’d)
As of May 31, 2009, the estimated fair value and carrying value of our secured convertible notes payable is as follows:
Secured Convertible Notes Payable: | Carrying Value | Fair Value | ||||||
$2,000,000 face value secured convertible notes due July 10, 2010 | $ | (136,258 | ) | $ | (1,932,214 | ) | ||
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.
We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements, and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FAS 133, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.
The following table summarizes the components of derivative liabilities as of the quarterly period ended May 31, 2009:
Our financing arrangements giving rise to derivative financial instruments: | Compound Embedded Derivative | Warrant Derivatives | Total Derivatives | |||||||||
$2,000,000 face value secured convertible notes due July 10, 2010 | $ | (962,733 | ) | $ | (2,612,857 | ) | $ | (3,575,590 | ) | |||
$1,000,000 common stock purchase agreement | -- | (722,280 | ) | (722,280 | ) | |||||||
$ | (962,733 | ) | $ | (3,335,137 | ) | $ | (4,297,870 | ) |
We measure the fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, puts and redemption features embedded in hybrid debt instruments, we generally use the Monte Carlo

Simulation valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, we project and discount future cash flows applying probability-weightage to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
The following table summarizes the effects on our income (expense) associated with changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments by type of financing for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2009.

Our derivative liabilities as of May 31, 2009, our derivative gains during the quarterly period May 31, 2009 and our derivative losses from inception through May 31, 2009 are significant to our consolidated financial statements. The magnitude of derivative income (expense) reflects the following:
· The market price of our common stock, which significantly affects the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, experienced material price fluctuations. To illustrate, the closing price of our common stock increased from $0.55 on July 10, 2008 to $0.65 on August 31, 2008, then decreased to $0.50 on February 28, 2009. The price increased to $0.55 on May 31, 2009. The higher stock price on August 31, 2008 had the effect of significantly increasing the fair value of our derivative liabilities and, accordingly, we were required to adjust the derivatives to these higher values with charges to derivative expense. Alternatively, the lower stock price on February 28, 2009 had the effect of significantly decreasing the fair value of our derivative liabilities and, accordingly, we were required to adjust the derivatives to these lower values with charges to derivative income. Subsequently, the effect of the higher stock price on May 31, 2009 required charges to derivative expense.
· In connection with our accounting for the secured convertible note financing we encountered the unusual circumstance of a day-one derivative loss related to the recognition of derivative instruments arising from the arrangement. That means that the fair value of the bifurcated compound derivative and warrants exceeded the proceeds that we received from the arrangement and we were required to record a loss to record the derivative financial instruments at fair value. The loss that we recorded amounted to $2,541,191. We did not enter into any other financing arrangements during the periods reported that reflected day-one loss.

During December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released FASB Staff Position FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which amended Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. Generally, the standard provides for the exclusion of registration payment arrangements, such as the liquidated damage provisions that are included in the financing contracts underlying the convertible debt financing arrangements, from the consideration of classification of financial instruments. Rather, such registration payments are accounted for pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, which is our current accounting practice. That is, all

(e) | Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements |
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 8 Secured Convertible Note Financings (Continued)
We received net proceeds of $1,815,000 from the July 10, 2008 financing arrangement. Incremental, direct financing costs of $185,000 (including placement agent warrants valued at $221,588 using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique) are included in deferred financing costs and are subject to amortization using the effective method. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs, which is included in interest expense, during the current quarterly period, amounted to $23,315.
In our evaluation of the financing arrangement, we concluded that the conversion features were not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to the anti-dilution protection; and it did not otherwise meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, we were required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a derivative liability, at fair value. We also concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are not associated debt instruments. We combined all embedded features that required bifurcation into one compound instrument that is carried as a component of derivative liabilities. We determined that placement agent warrants met the conditions for equity classification. However, the investor warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification. Therefore, the investor warrants are also required to be carried as a derivative liability, at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are carried initially and subsequently at their fair values.
We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk, stock price volatility and conversion behavior estimates) that are necessary to fair value complex, compound derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the warrants on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique, adjusted for the effect of dilution because that technique embodies all of the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates) that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants.
The following tabular presentation sets forth the derivative fair values as of the inception date of the financing transaction, year ended August 31, 2008 and the current quarter ended May 31, 2009:

Note 9 Stock Purchase Agreement
On February 10, 2009 we entered into a stock purchase agreement with The Quercus Trust. The stock purchase agreement involved the issuance of 2,222,222 shares of common stock plus warrants to purchase 1,666,667 (Investor Series A Warrants) and 1,111,111 (Investor Series B Warrants) shares of our common stock with strike prices of $0.60 and $0.85, respectively, for a period of one year from the date of issuance. The stock purchase agreement resulted in gross proceeds of $1,000,000. In connection with the purchase agreement, the placement agent received warrants to purchase 133,333 (Agent Series A Warrants) and 88,889 (Agent Series B Warrants) shares of our common stock with strike prices of $0.60 and $0.85, respectively, for a period of one year from the date of issuance. Incremental, direct financing costs (placement agent warrants valued at $55,129) were allocated to the common stock and warrants based on their relative fair values in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants (APB 14). In connection with our accounting for the Common Stock Purchase Agreement we recorded a day-one derivative loss related to the portion of the placement agent costs that were allocated to the warrants.
The following table illustrates how the proceeds arising from the stock purchase agreement were allocated on the inception date:
Classification | Allocation | |||
Day-one derivative loss | $ | (21,103 | ) | |
Common Stock (par value) | 2,222 | |||
Paid-in Capital (Common Stock) | 274,641 | |||
Derivative Liabilities (Warrants) | 744,240 | |||
Proceeds | $ | 1,000,000 |
In our evaluation of the purchase transaction, we concluded that the Common Stock issued met equity classification. There were no terms and conditions associated with the Common Stock that warranted classification outside of stockholders’ equity pursuant to either Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (FAS 150) or Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. D-98 Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (EITF D-98). However, the investor warrants and agent warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification. The warrant contracts embody a provision whereby the placement warrants fall within the scope of FAS 150. Although the redemption event is conditional in nature, the standards require liability classification as a written put warrant under FAS 150 and must be recorded at fair value each reporting period.
Information and significant assumptions embodied in our valuations (including ranges for certain assumptions during the subject periods that instruments were outstanding) as of the inception date is illustrated in the following tables:

Stock-based compensation:
(i) | Executive stock options |
On May 22, 2008, the Board of Directors approved an Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Abdul Mitha, a director and executive officer of the Company. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to enter into a stock option agreement with Mr. Mitha, granting Mr. Mitha the option to purchase on each anniversary of the Agreement 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of the average 90 days trading price immediately preceding the anniversary date of the Agreement The options vest immediately upon issuance of the underlying agreement at each anniversary date, and the option shares shall be exercisable by Mr. Mitha within 5 years from the date of grant. Further under the terms of the Agreement, all options issued to Mr. Mitha in accordance with the Agreement shall become immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock not otherwise vested upon any termination of employment.
Following is a table outlining the number of options required to be granted as fully vested under the Agreement at each anniversary date and the term of said options:
Date | Number of options | Expiry date | ||
May 1, 2009 | 1,000,000 | April 30, 2014 | ||
May 1, 2010 | 1,000,000 | April 30, 2015 | ||

May 1, 2014 | 1,000,000 | April 30, 2019 | ||
6,000,000 |
For financial reporting purposes, the Company has relied on the guidance provided in FASB 123R and has valued the options over 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 years at inception (May 1, 2008) applying variable accounting. The fair value of the shares will be recalculated at each reporting date using an exercise price of the preceding 90 days applying Volume Weighted Average Pricing (VWAP). The value attributable to the vested portion of each tranche will be amortized over its requisite period, with a final value being calculated on the grant date for each tranche applying the 90 day VWAP immediately preceding the actual date of grant. Additionally, we have not applied a forfeiture rate to these shares as under the terms of the Agreement the shares are guaranteed to become fully vested.
The fair value of each option granted was computed using the Black-Scholes method using the following weighted-average assumptions:
Stock Price (Issue date) | Exercise price | Risk Free interest rate | Date of issue | Expiration date | Term (years) | Volatility | Value |
$ 0.50 | $ 0.548 | 2.34% | 5/1/2008 | 5/1/2014 | 2.4260 | 82.83% | $0.27 |
$ 0.50 | $ 0.548 | 2.34% | 5/1/2008 | 5/1/2015 | 2.9192 | 82.83% | $0.30 |

The fair value of the vested portion of options granted during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 totals $380,290 which amount has been expensed and recorded as a current liability on the Company’s balance sheet. The fair value of the vested portion of options during the nine month period ended May 31, 2009 totals $398,072 which amount has also been expensed and recorded as a current liability on the Company’s balance sheet. The following table summarizes details of the vesting schedule and associated fair value calculations:

Note 12 New Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. This revision to SFAS No. 141 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. This revision also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the assets acquired and that expected restructuring costs be recognized as if they were a liability assumed at the acquisition date and recognized separately from the business combination. In addition, this revision requires that if a business combination is achieved in stages, that the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, be recognized at the full amounts of their fair values.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, an amendment of ARB No. 51. The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company believes that this statement will not have any impact on its financial statements, unless it deconsolidates a subsidiary.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (an amendment to SFAS No. 133). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and requires enhanced disclosures with respect to derivative and hedging activities. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of this statement if it utilizes derivative instruments or engages in hedging activities upon its effectiveness.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, DETERMINATION OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS (“FSP No. 142-3”) to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset (under SFAS No. 142) and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset (under SFAS No. 141(R)). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors to be considered when developing renewal or extension assumptions that are used to estimate an intangible asset’s useful life under SFAS No. 142. The guidance in the new staff position is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after December 31, 2008. In addition, FSP No. 142-3 increases the disclosure requirements related to renewal or extension assumptions. The Company does not believe implementation of FSP No. 142-3 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “the Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCE GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTS – AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. The premium revenue recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, DETERMINING WHETHER INSTRUMENTS GRANTED IN SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS ARE PARTICIPATING SECURITIES (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”). Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive asset), assets that the acquirer will never actually use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 08-7 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On January 12, 2009 the FASB issued a final Staff Position ("FSP") amending the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets to achieve more consistent determination of whether another-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This FSP does not have an impact on the Company at the present time.
On April 1, 2009 the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1 that amends and clarifies FASB No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.
On April 9, 2009 the FASB issued three FSPs intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. These FSPs do not have an impact on the Company at the present time.
On May 28, 2009 the FASB announced the issuance of SFAS 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS 165 should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, SFAS 165 introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained.
On June 12, 2009 the FASB issued two statements that amended the guidance for off-balance-sheet accounting of financial instruments: SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).

Note 12 New Accounting Standards (continued)
SFAS No. 166 revises SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, the FASB said. The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures about them.
SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, by altering how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through voting should be consolidated, the FASB said. A company has to determine whether it should provide consolidated reporting of an entity based upon the entity's purpose and design and the parent company's ability to direct the entity's actions.
The standards will be effective at the start of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, which will mean January 2010 for companies that are on calendar years. The guidance will have to be applied for first-quarter filings.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, on June 29, 2009 and, in doing so, authorized the Codification as the sole source for authoritative U.S. GAAP. SFAS No. 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. Once it's effective, it will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162 to establish a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable to the Company's future financial reporting.
Note 13 Other
On October 31, 2008 the Company signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Flukong Enterprise Inc.

In this quarterly report unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock.
The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, the “Company” and “Clean Power” refer to Clean Power Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on October 30, 2003 as Sphere of Language. On June 13, 2006, the Company changed its name to Clean Power Technologies Inc.
The Company incorporated Clean Energy and Power Solutions Inc. (“CEPS”) on May 12, 2006 in the State of Nevada as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
By agreement dated May 22, 2006, the Company agreed to issue 30,765,377 common shares for all the issued and outstanding common shares of Clean Power Technologies Inc. (“CPTI private”), a privately held company, incorporated on March 14, 2006 in the State of Nevada. CPTI private is developing a project for a gas/steam or diesel/steam hybrid technology. CPTI private incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Clean Power Technologies Limited, (“CPTL”) a company based in, and incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on May 10, 2006, to carry on all its research and development. On April 24, 2006, CPTI private entered a research and development agreement to fund all future costs for research, development, patenting, licensing and marketing for an alternative hybrid fuel technology that combines diesel and steam and gas (petrol) and steam technologies for a 100% ownership of the technology and any associated intellectual rights. CPTI private and CEPS merged on June 20, 2006 with CEPS being the surviving entity. On July 10, 2006 CEPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company when the stockholders of CPTI private tendered their remaining shares.
We presently have two subsidiaries, CEPS, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CPTL, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEPS. We undertake all of our business operations indirectly through our wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, CPTL. These operations are presently focused on the research and development of our technology, a steam hybrid engine.
Plan of Operation
Our Company is committed to developing hybrid fuel technology and alternative fuel for a range of vehicles, including locomotives, heavy trucks and light cars. The Company’s proprietary technology significantly reduces pollution through its Clean Energy Separation and Recovery (“CESAR”) system, which takes otherwise wasted heat from the exhaust of a conventional combustion engine and modifies it through a heat recovery system to generate clean power for vehicles.
31
The Company operates out of its development facilities in Newhaven, East Sussex, in the United Kingdom.
In 2006, testing of the CESAR system began on a Mazda RX8 passenger vehicle engine, with trials on a second identical engine commencing later that year. In June 2007, testing also began on a Caterpillar C18 diesel engine to explore applications, such as auxiliary power and trailer refrigeration, within the industrial vehicle and truck industries. Testing on the CESAR process began in late October 2007, with initial results recording a 40% improvement in fuel efficiency.
Our CESAR technology is designed to increase vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions through lowered fuel consumption by capturing, storing, and reusing otherwise wasted heat from the exhaust of a conventional combustion engine. A heat exchanger captures waste energy, which is then stored in the form of steam in an accumulator, for ‘on demand’ use either in the same ‘primary’ engine, or in a secondary vapour engine. Power can be produced solely by the secondary vapour engine even after the primary combustion engine has shut down. Our CESAR system can be used to power auxiliary truck systems, such as trailer refrigeration and cab cooling or heating, in regulatory ‘no idle’ or ‘quiet’ zones. In additional to initial truck applications, CESAR can be further applied in our well developed passenger car programmed in addition to having longer-term potential in the locomotive and marine sectors.
Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to further the research and development on our technology resulting in a advanced prototype and commercial application in mid 2010. If successful, we intend to license the technology or form partnerships for the use of the technology with any customers we may identify.
We have to date been funded by existing working capital, by an offering of our convertible debentures and common stock, and by stockholder loans from a director and executive officer of the Company. On July 11, 2008, the Company closed on two million ($2,000,000) of a maximum of $5,000,000 of convertible debentures. Under the terms of the agreement the Company could raise an additional three million ($3,000,000) from one or more investors. On February 10, 2009, the Company closed an additional one million ($1,000,000) by way of an equity financing at a price of $0.45 per share. The Company issued a total of 2,222,222 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,777,778 shares of common stock pursuant to this financing, excluding placement agent warrants. During the next twelve (12) months, the Company will require approximately three and a half million ($3,500,000) dollars for development and operating costs, of which approximately nine hundred thousand ($900,000) dollars will be applied to research and development of the project. The Company anticipates expending approximately $1,400,000 on salaries for management, employees and consultants, $144,000 in lease and rental payments for our development facility, $300,000 on patent related fees and legal fees, $400,000 on taxes, insurance and administration of the project, $120,000 on audit and accounting related fees and approximately $250,000 on travel, investor/public relations and miscellaneous corporate expenses. As of May 31, 2009, the Company had available cash of $144,806 as compared to available cash of $1,203,030 at August 31, 2008. During the nine month period covered by this quarterly report, along with regular monthly operational expenditures, the Company undertook certain leasehold improvements and acquired certain equipment further reducing the Company’s cash position by approximately $510,924. The Company will not have sufficient capital to continue operations for the next three months and will be required to raise additional required capital by way of equity or stockholder loans. The Company is currently expending approximately $500,000 per quarter in operations and therefore an additional $360,000 at a minimum will need to be raised during the three months ended August 31, 2009, after taking into account the existing cash available of approximately $140,000 as at the quarter ended May 31, 2009. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise these required funds. If the Company cannot raise the required funds then operations may cease.
We believe that we have validated the theoretical predictions that were the foundation of the CESAR system. A substantial development component of the programme has now commenced and will require appropriate augmentation of the engineering team, which the Company intends to continue to undertake this calendar year. This is essential for design studies of potential applications of the total system and will commence using the empirical data revealed by the research programme undertaken. These applications include using the CESAR system to provide refrigeration power for trucks when the main combustion engine is shut down, with a target of road testing an especially directed system in late summer of 2009. Further applications include provision of auxiliary power derived at low recurrent cost from the exhaust heat of combustion engines for other transportation areas, including lighter vehicles than trucks and heavier in the form of railway locomotives. There is also a promising application in marine applications, not excluding commercial vessels but particularly attractive for pleasure craft with their heavy requirement for auxiliary electrical power when not under way.
32
For the lighter design of the CESAR system, for vans and passenger cars for example, a substantial repetition of all the phases of the test programme commenced in Spring 2008 using a smaller multi-cylinder reciprocating engine or a Wankel engine to replace the current Caterpillar C-15 engine. This will require appropriate and novel valve designs which are currently in hand to control the fuel and vapour flows. This second programme would provide design support for all components of the CESAR saturated liquid energy accumulator system with a target of road testing such a vehicle in the near future, through the current development focus is primarily on the truck based applications.
In order to meet many challenges relating to the development of the steam technology, the Company has appointed a Swiss steam technology specialist company called Dampflokomotiv-und Maschinenfabrik DLM AG (“DLM”) to act as its outside consultant for the further development of the Company’s CESAR technology. DLM will advise and use its in-house expertise to assist and facilitate the development of the next stage in our CESAR programme. DLM has professionally qualified engineers with specialist experience. DLM will provide knowledge and experience in such areas as the design of the process to predict and analyse the heat transfer performance and issues associated with pressure losses for a range of thermal operations involving liquids and gases with and without change of phase. DLM has experience with stress analysis including pressure vessel design to European and British standards. DLM will work with the engineers of the Company on a routine basis. We intend to continue this development through the fiscal year.
The Company employed a CAD engineer in mid-January 2008 and work has commenced on the development of the truck production and vehicle detail design and initial system configuration feasibility. The CAD engineer is experienced in all aspects of design and development. The Company has licensed UGS NX5 and S-IDEAS CAD software to achieve its design objectives. The Company, as it continues to evolve from the research phase to that of testing and pre-production, continues to bring additional engineering expertise in-house. Also acquired in January 2009, was a CNC milling machine, enabling more rapid and cost effective metal fabrication work on-site, rather than through a sub-contractor
In early May 2008, the Company agreed to acquire additional space in Newhaven, UK, to accommodate its corporate office and expanding test cell facility. Effective November 13, 2008 the Company entered into a five (5) year lease for office and warehouse space in a property located in New Haven, East Sussex, U.K., adjacent to its current leased facilities at an annual rate of $25,207 (£15,000) payable quarterly commencing March 2009. Concurrently, the Company entered into an option to purchase the aforementioned property, exercisable March through August 2010, for a purchase price of the greater of (i) the price stated in an Independent Valuation or (ii) £425,000 less any reductions previously specified and agreed in a former option agreement.
The Company is presently undertaking a twin track process to design a new refrigeration engine for reefers, while holding collaborative discussions with major North American trailer fleet operators. During fiscal 2008, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with one of the USA’s largest grocery chains, under which the Company used a refrigerated vehicle for data collection on a range of duty cycles in June, 2008. This was an off site data collection process in order to validate test results which will be collected in our test cell this summer 2009.
The Company has acquired a further 7,500 sq ft of additional space in Newhaven, UK. This additional space has been used for newly acquired test equipment and offices.
The first system has been installed on the Company’s truck, which was acquired and delivered during in the prior quarterly reporting period. The Company’s truck is similar to the trucks in the U.S. trucking company fleet. This truck is a Columbia CL120 Conventional Chassis with a Day Cab. This vehicle has the same specifications as the current U.S. fleet of vehicles on which we did our testing in mid 2008. The Company had conducted a series of tests in mid 2008 to collect data and validate test results to be used in this test vehicle.
Customer expectations are that any vehicle application will be fully reliable, continuously delivering the performance benefits promised in all conditions over a period of at least ten years. To this end the Company has recently made a major investment of approximately $170,000 in a rolling road dynamometer manufactured by Dynomite of New Hampshire USA. This substantial piece of equipment can accommodate a maximum weight double-drive axle truck which turns the dynamometer rollers against a variable load created by applying electrical inertia. This allows the simulation of all road conditions that a truck may encounter in its day to day operation such as hilly terrain, urban stop-start and interstate highway running.
33
Using field data collected in mid 2008 during a three week exercise with the U.S. grocery hauler operations in Canada it will be possible, with appropriate instrumentation, to simulate fleet routes, to develop and refine particular applications, and to deliver maximum fuel benefits with minimum emissions. The equipment will allow, under fully-controlled laboratory conditions, the speedy characterisation of any vehicle exhaust temperature, flow and constituency together with fuel usage.
The Rolling Road will provide the “hub” of the development and validation programme for the CESAR system ensuring optimum functionality for each vehicle application. The issue of durability will also be addressed by other recent investments such as multi-axis shaker test rigs which will be programmed to home-in on harmful resonant frequencies for the system, as identified by data collected over specific proving ground surfaces. By running these shaker rigs on a 24 hour basis in environmental enclosures, capable of operating between -40 and +50 degrees Celsius, ten year life testing can be compressed into a period of only a few months. This rigorous testing of our technology and associated refinements that ensure from the testing we believe will accelerate our technology from an advanced prototype to a commercially viable product.
The Rolling Road, became fully operational in this quarter ended May 2009, with testing having commenced on our truck. This bespoke truck, fitted with a Detroit Diesel engine and Eaton transmission, is designed to be used on highways, hectic city streets, narrow roads and can also be driven off-road. The Rolling Road, which will be able to simulate all these conditions, will be a perfect test ground for the vehicle, and allow Clean Power to demonstrate how its CESAR technology improves the truck’s fuel efficiency in these conditions. This vehicle has been installed with a Prototype 2 CESAR system.. The testing underway will reproduce the delivery routes used in the areas covered by the U.S. hauler. This will confirm the actual fuel savings to the major grocery hauler when compared against their current fuel usage. Typical routes we would use are Calgary to Banff and Calgary local area city routes.
Prior to this a Prototype 1 CESAR system has been tested and validated within the test cell with the same vehicle package constraints being driven from our Caterpillar C15 engine.
Once the system is working on the truck with the Rolling Road, the vehicle will be used for data collection at Millbrook Proving ground (this is GM built, proving ground just outside Bedford). This data will be used for drive file creation for accelerated durability testing on our hydraulic fatigue testing machines in Newhaven. These tests will represent the equivalent to 10 years of road durability in the space of 4 weeks.
It is anticipated that the first vehicle may require some electronic tuning in order for the system to work including steam valve optimization. This should take no longer than 4 weeks, and is planned to commence in September, 2009. We can then successfully run the test to prove the fuel savings for our potential customers.
The Company anticipates that a newly designed reefer engine will be ready for road testing by late summer of 2009. Following a ten month road trial and analysis, and further design refinements, the Company expects to submit the CESAR technology for regulatory approval under various jurisdictions worldwide, including the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), with the hopes of achieving commercialization during late spring of 2010.
Starting June 1, 2009, our CAD engineering team will be preparing drawings for production, with drawing release expected in early 2010.
Michael Roberts our Product Acceptability Engineer started work on April 27, 2009. His role is to ensure that our product is suitable and acceptable to the end user / customer. He will be responsible for the work content required to validate the system for the North American markets and the introduction to the EPA of our system and the market sectors that our product can enter. He is also responsible for negotiations of available tax benefits for our customers installing our fuel saving environmentally friendly systems. unique electronic control system, using Clean Power’s own Intellectual Property to ensure the maximum possible fuel efficiency and emissions reductions in all operating conditions
Also recently joining the Company is Mr. Marco Cucinotta, a Control System Specialist. Under Mr. Cucinotta, the Company is undertaking the development of a unique electronic control system, using Clean Power’s own Intellectual Property to ensure the maximum possible fuel efficiency and emissions reductions in all operating conditions.
34
On March 13, 2009, the Company and The University of Sussex (“Sussex”) entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) providing for (i) the assignment to the Company of Sussex’s existing patent application relative to its high energy storage system for motor vehicles (“HYSTOR”); and (ii) an understanding between the parties to collaborate on certain matters in connection with the HYSTOR project. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company will be responsible for filing and prosecuting, at its sole expense, territorial applications based upon the International Publication Number (“WIPO Application”) in Japan, the United States, Canada, and the European Union. Simultaneous with the execution of the Letter of Intent, the Company and Sussex executed an Assignment (Non-Provisional Patent Application) (the “Assignment”) to sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the WIPO Application. Further, pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the parties also agreed to enter into a separate collaborative relationship agreement providing for the parties to collaborate in good faith to secure funding to further develop the HYSTOR project.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, Clean Power engaged Cascade Sierra Solutions (“Cascade”) as potential advisors for the EPA and other Regulatory application processes (www.cascadesierrasolutions.org). Located in the State of Oregon, Cascade is a non-profit organization working with heavy duty truck operators to save fuel and reduce emissions. Cascade is well connected with Federal and State agencies, working especially closely with agenda-setting regulators in California. The Company believes this will assist in optimizing the approval process, as well as benefitting from Cascade’s broad expertise in implementation of innovative technologies in the trucking industry.
Although the Company remains focused on completing this US reefer project on schedule, there is significant interest in its steam hybrid technology for broader applications (including automotive, marine and military) in a wide range of countries. The Company continues to respond to these expressions of interest and will pursue opportunities which may arise and which management believes to be in the best interests of the Company. As part of our new development, we are developing a system for use in land fill site electrical power generation; our system will deliver an estimated 20% or greater extra power back to the national grid. The spark ignition engines are run using the methane gas from the land fill, our system will add to this via heat recovery from the otherwise wasted exhaust gases. The Company has already entered into preliminary discussions with a regional landfill site operator in the U.K. and will be meeting another larger UK player in the near future. Clean Power intends to install a prototype test engine at a landfill site by early spring 2010.
With respect to the intellectual property of the Company, as of May 31, 2009, patent applications have been filed in five jurisdictions, with the intention to include additional jurisdictions. Furthermore, the Company has received the international search report and written opinion of the Searching Authority and understands that all of the claims were deemed to have industrial applicability and that 10 of the 19 claims were both novel and inventive. The Company intends to make certain revisions to the other claims and seek to get additional claims allowed. To further assist and accelerate this process, the Company has engaged US legal counsel specifically for patent management.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2009, we have a total of $144,806 in cash on hand. The Company is expending approximately $500,000 per quarter and we will therefore be required to raise additional funds to continue operations. The Company expects to raise these funds by way of shareholder loans and equity placements.
Results of Operations
The Company had no revenues for the period from inception to May 31, 2009. The Company reported a loss from its operations totaling $2,986,536 as compared to a loss from operations totaling $5,184,729 (2008) over the 9 month period as a result of the quarterly revaluation of its derivative financial instruments which resulted in a net gain of $1,730,269 with no comparative entry over the comparative period for the nine months ending May 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses, net the aforementioned gain during the current nine month period ended May 31, 2009, totaled $4,716,805 as compared to $5,184,729 in the prior nine month period ended May 31, 2008, which amount included $2,600,000 as compensation in the form of shares for the services provided by Mr. Mitha to the Company from April 27, 2004 through May 1, 2008.
