NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
(Unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further
information, refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on January 19, 1994, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuel-Tech
N.V. ("Fuel Tech"). Effective December 12, 1995, Fuel Tech completed a Rights
Offering of the Company's Common Stock that reduced its ownership in the
Company to 27.6%. Fuel Tech currently holds a 21.5% interest in the Company on a
fully converted basis.
The Company is a specialty chemical company supplying fuel additives and
proprietary systems that reduce harmful emissions from internal combustion
engines while improving fuel economy. Prior to December 1999 the Company was a
development stage enterprise devoted to research, development, and
commercialization of Platinum Fuel Catalysts (PFC's) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
reduction technologies for diesel engines. During December 1999, the Company
received its EPA registration for its platinum - cerium diesel fuel combustion
catalyst and recorded its first commercial sales for this Platinum Plus(R)
diesel fuel catalyst product. Accordingly, in the opinion of management the
Company was no longer a development stage enterprise.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and
the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Prior to 2000, the Company was primarily engaged in research and
development and has incurred losses since inception totaling $18,838,000
(excluding non-cash preferred stock dividends). The Company expects to incur
losses through the foreseeable future as it further pursues its
commercialization efforts and thus is unable to generate a positive cash flow.
The Company will require additional capital in the future in order to fund its
operations. The Company's current cash position, including the $825,000 of ARIS
license revenue (see subsequent events for details), will fund operations
through October 2001. Although, the Company believes that it will be successful
in its capital raising efforts, there is no guarantee that it will be able to
raise such funds on terms that will be satisfactory to the Company. The Company
has developed contingency plans in the event its financing efforts are not
successful. Such plans include reducing expenses and selling or licensing the
Company's technologies. Accordingly, at March 31, 2001, there is substantial
doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist of
finished product. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.
-6-
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of Platinum Plus fuel borne
catalyst and ARIS 2000 systems upon shipment.
In February 2000, the Company completed a license agreement with the RJM
Corporation for CDT's ARIS 2000 NOx control system for all stationary, marine
and locomotive applications in North, Central, and South America. The Company
received a $260,000 license payment in return for transferring the ARIS 2000
technology to the RJM Corporation. The company also received $100,000 from the
RJM Corporation for all of the remaining ARIS 2000 inventory. The license
payment is non-refundable and requires no ongoing services to be performed by
CDT. Clean Diesel has the opportunity to earn up to an additional $1,040,000 in
aggregate license revenue on the first, second and third anniversaries of the
license agreement based on prior years' ARIS 2000 sales performance.
NOTES PAYABLE
In November 2000 the Company arranged a $1,000,000 term loan with three
private lenders. The term loan has 10% interest rate, is payable in full on May
14, 2002 and can be drawn down in increments of $200,000. The Company drew down
$500,000 in November 2000 and the remaining $500,000 in March of 2001. The
$1,000,000 term loan is classified as long term on the Company's balance sheet
at March 31, 2001.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
During the year ended December 31, 2000 the Company received proceeds of
$1.021 million through private placements of 1,362 shares of its Series A
Preferred Stock. During the first quarter of 2001, $201,500 (403 shares) of
preferred stock dividends were declared, but unissued. At March 31, 2001, the
Company had 13,218 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and
an additional 1,827 of preferred stock shares issueable for the 2000 and 2001
preferred stock dividends declared. As of March 31, 2001 there were earned but
undeclared dividends of approximately $207,000 (414 shares).
The Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $500
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive cash dividends at the annual rate of 9% or dividends in kind
at the annual rate of 11%, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company out of funds of the Company legally available therefore. Cash dividends
and dividends in kind are each deemed "Preferred Stock Dividends". Preferred
Stock Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
In order to conserve cash, the Company's Board of Directors has adopted a
resolution that all dividends declared on the Preferred Stock be payable in kind
at the annual rate of 11%. The dividends will be paid in the form of additional
shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Certificate of Designation on the first business day of January, April, July and
October to stockholders of record on the first business day of the prior
December, March, June, and September. Dividends in kind are evidenced by a
stock certificate for full share amounts of such dividends with fractional
amounts accruing and paid in full shares on a subsequent dividend. The
directors further resolved to issue certificates for stock dividends annually
rather than quarterly, unless a stockholder requests certificates to be issued
more frequently. These resolutions will remain in effect until revoked by the
Company's Board of Directors.
Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into 333.33 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, which is equivalent to $1.50 per Common Share. Assuming
full conversion of the Preferred Stock, at March 31, 2001, the Company would
have approximately 7.67 million shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which
Fuel Tech would own approximately 1.65 million shares, or a 21.5% interest in
the Company.
-7-
The Company can force the holder of Preferred Stock to convert its shares,
in whole or in part, into Common Stock at any time on, or after, the date that
the average Closing Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of the
Common Stock equals or exceeds $4.50 for 20 consecutive trading days. Such
conversion may, at the election of the holders of 60% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, be scheduled to occur on a pro-rata
basis quarterly over 18 months. The Preferred Stock shall be automatically
converted into Common Stock should the Company consummate a public offering of
its Common Stock in excess of certain prescribed amounts. In the event of such
mandatory conversion, accrued and unpaid dividends will also convert into Common
Stock, on the same terms as the underlying shares of Preferred Stock.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Series A preferred stock, stock options and stock purchase warrants were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because either the
Company reported a loss for the period or their exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of the common stock and therefore would be
antidilutive.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has a Management and Services Agreement with Fuel Tech. Under
the agreement, the Company pays Fuel Tech a fee equal to an additional 3 - 10%
of the costs paid on the Company's behalf, dependent upon the nature of the
costs incurred. Currently, a fee of 3% is assessed on all costs billed to the
Company from Fuel Tech. Charges to the Company, inclusive of the administrative
fee, were approximately $17,300 and $25,500 in the first quarter of 2001 and
2000, respectively.
COMMITMENTS
Effective October 28, 1994, Fuel Tech granted two licenses to the Company
for all patents and rights associated with its PFC technology. Effective
November 24, 1997, the licenses were canceled and Fuel Tech assigned to the
Company all such patents and rights on terms substantially similar to the
licenses. In exchange for the assignment, the Company will pay Fuel Tech a
royalty of 2.5% of its annual gross revenue from sales of the PFCs commencing in
1998. The royalty obligation expires in 2008. The Company may terminate the
royalty obligation to Fuel Tech by payment of $8,727,273 million in 2001 and
declining annually to approximately $1,090,910 in 2008. The Company as assignee
and owner will maintain the technology at its own expense. To date, no
royalties have been paid to Fuel Tech, although the Company has recorded an
insignificant accrual for royalties payable to Fuel Tech at March 31, 2001.
MARKETING AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
In March 2001, the Company licensed the Lubrizol Corporation to distribute and
blend the Company's patented Platinum Plus fuel borne catalyst in Europe for use
with particulate filters. The seven year exclusive agreement includes minimum
annual sales performance requirements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In April 2001, the Company amended its February 2000 ARIS Stationary NOx
Reduction License agreement with the RJM Corporation. The previous terms of the
RJM ARIS license agreement provided the Company the opportunity to earn up to a
total of $1,040,000 in additional ARIS license revenue on the first, second and
third anniversary of the license agreement if RJM's sales exceeded certain
levels. No additional license revenue was earned or paid on the first
anniversary in February 2001. Under the amended terms of the RJM ARIS license
agreement, the Company will receive $825,000 in ARIS license revenue, payable
in two equal $412,500 payments on June 1, 2001 and September 1, 2001 in lieu of
potentially receiving $1,040,000 on the second or third anniversary.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this 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 "Risk Factors of the Business" in Item 1, "Business," and also
Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Prior to 2000, the Company was a development stage enterprise and its
efforts were devoted to the research, development and commercialization of
platinum fuel catalysts and nitrogen oxide reduction technologies to reduce
emissions from diesel engines. During December 1999, the Company received its
US EPA registration for its platinum-cerium fuel catalyst product and completed
its first commercial sales.
Product sales and cost of sales were $24,000 and $7,000 respectively for
the first quarter of 2001 versus $46,000 and $22,000 for 2000. $13,000 and
$32,000 of Platinum Plus fuel catalyst sales were recorded in the first quarter
of 2001 and 2000 respectively. Commercial sales of Platinum Plus fuel catalyst
began in December 1999 and the Company is in the process of completing
distribution agreements with several companies.
Included in the 2001 revenue is $11,000 of royalty income from the RJM
Corporation for the ARIS 2000 NOx reduction technology. CDT will earn a royalty
on all future RJM sales of the ARIS 2000 as well as up to $1 million in license
revenue in 2001, 2002, and 2003 depending on the ARIS 2000 sales in those years.
General and administrative expenses increased $6,000 to $435,000 in the
first quarter 2001 versus $429,000 in the same period of 2000. The slight
increase is related to higher marketing costs associated with the increased
commercial activity of Platinum Plus fuel catalyst.
Research and development expenses decreased $55,000 to $84,000 in 2001
versus $139,000 in the comparable period in 2000. The decrease is attributable
to the continued shift from research and development to commercialization that
occurred in 2000. In addition two engineers transferred from CDT to RJM as part
of the ARIS 2000 license agreement in early 2000.
Patent filing expense increased $24,000 to $48,000 in 2001 versus $24,000
in the comparable 2000 period. The increase is due to the filing of several new
patents and maintenance fees resulting from recently filed patents.
Interest income decreased $7,000 in 2001 to $3,000 from $10,000 in the
comparable period in 2000. This was a result of a decrease in the amount of
cash and cash equivalents on hand in first quarter of 2001.
-9-
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In December 1999, the Company received its U.S. EPA registration for its
platinum - cerium fuel catalyst product and began commercial sales of the
product. Prior to this time the Company was a development stage enterprise.
The Company has been primarily a research and development company that has
incurred losses since inception aggregating $18,838,000 (excluding the effect of
non-cash preferred stock dividends). The Company expects to incur losses
through the foreseeable future as it further pursues its commercialization
efforts. The Company continues to be dependent upon sources other than
operations to finance its working capital requirements.
In December 1995, the Company raised approximately $10.5 million, net of
offering expenses and broker-dealer commissions through the 1995 Rights Offering
of its shares by Fuel Tech. The Company then repaid Fuel Tech approximately
$2.3 million in inter-company loans. On February 17, 1998, Fuel Tech agreed to
provide the Company with up to $500,000 in order to fund its cash requirements
until such time as the Company obtained the long-term financing it was seeking.
On May 20, 1998, the $500,000 commitment was converted into a bridge loan (the
"Bridge Loan"). The Bridge Loan stipulated an automatic conversion into shares
of Preferred Stock upon the conclusion of a public or private financing that
contributed a minimum of $1.75 million of additional net proceeds to the
Company. In mid-1998, the Company also received an additional $900,000 of
financing under the same Bridge Loan (having the same terms and conditions) from
outside investors. As more fully described below, in November 1998, the Bridge
Loan automatically converted into 2,800 shares of Preferred Stock.
In 1997, the Company repaid $250,000 of a $745,000 promissory demand note
with Fuel Tech and restructured the remaining amount into a $495,000 promissory
note (the "Term Note") with Platinum Plus, Inc. ("Platinum Plus"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Fuel Tech. See below for further information concerning the
exchange of the Term Note for shares of the Company's Preferred Stock.
In November 1998, the Company obtained approximately $1.85 million in net
proceeds against the issuance of 3,753 shares of Preferred Stock through a
private placement. As the Company received net proceeds in excess of the $1.75
million minimum, and in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan agreement,
the $1.4 million Bridge Loan, mentioned above, converted into 2,800 shares of
Preferred Stock. Additionally, in an effort to retain its approximate 27%
interest in the Company (assuming conversion of the Preferred Stock into the
Company's Common Shares), Fuel Tech elected to exchange its $495,000 Term Note,
and $20,000 of associated accrued interest from its Bridge Loan and Term Note,
for 1,029 shares of Preferred Stock. As a result, Fuel Tech owned 2,029 shares
of the Company's Preferred Stock at December 31, 1998. These shares plus the
1999 and 2000 quarterly dividends, if converted, along with its Common Stock
ownership would give Fuel Tech an approximate 21.6% interest in the Company on a
fully converted basis at December 31, 2000.
In August/September 1999, the Company received gross proceeds of $1.75
million, excluding expenses of $29,000, from private investors against the
issuance of an additional 3,500 shares of Preferred Stock. In April 2000, the
Company completed a $1.021 million private placement offering of 1,362 Preferred
shares, excluding $13,833 of expenses. Therefore, the Company had 13,218 shares
of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000. As a result of
the 2000 quarterly dividends and the January 1, 2001 preferred dividend, the
Company had an additional 1,827 shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon demand.
At March 31, 2001, the Company had a total of 15,045 issuable shares of
Preferred Stock, which are convertible into approximately 5.0 million shares of
the Company's Common Stock, ($0.05 par convertible at a rate of 1:333.33).
The Company signed an agreement with the RJM Corporation on February 2,
2000 that licensed RJM to sell CDT's ARIS 2000 NOx control system for all
stationary, marine, and locomotive applications in North, Central, and South
America. Under terms of the agreement CDT received an initial $360,000 license
and inventory payment and the opportunity to earn an additional $1,040,000 in
license revenue over the next three years based on the performance of the ARIS
-10-
2000. In addition to license revenue, CDT will earn a royalty on all future
ARIS 2000 sales. In April 2001, the Company amended the February 2000 ARIS
Stationary NOx Reduction License agreement with the RJM Corporation. Under the
amended terms of the RJM ARIS license agreement, the Company will receive
$825,000 in ARIS license revenue, payable in two equal $412,500 payments on
June 1, 2001 and September 1, 2001 in lieu of potentially receiving $1,040,000
on the second or third anniversary.
In June 2000, the Company received a $160,000 payment from Mitsui & Co. Ltd
for a short-term exclusive license for Platinum Plus fuel borne catalyst and
ARIS 2000 diesel emission reduction technologies. In addition to the exclusive
license, Mitsui & Co. received an ARIS 2000 system, Platinum Plus product and
diesel emissions consulting services from CDT. The Company recognized sales
revenues for these products when they shipped and the license revenue was
prorated over the six-month license period.
Effective as of October 28, 1994, Fuel Tech granted two licenses to the
Company for all patents and rights associated with its Platinum Fuel Catalyst
("PFC") technology. Effective November 24, 1997, the licenses were canceled and
Fuel Tech assigned to the Company all such patents and rights on terms
substantially similar to the licenses. In exchange for the assignment, the
Company will pay Fuel Tech a royalty of 2.5% of its annual gross revenue from
sales of the PFC's, commencing in 1998. The royalty obligation expires in 2008.
The Company may terminate the royalty obligation to Fuel Tech by payment of
$8,727,273 in 2001 and declining annually to $1,090,910 in 2008. The Company as
assignee and owner will maintain the technology at its own expense. To date no
royalties have been paid to Fuel Tech.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company used cash
of $489,000 and $326,000 respectively, in operating activities.
At March 31, 2001, and December 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $550,000 and $541,000, respectively. The increase in cash and
cash equivalents in 2001 was the result of the draw down of $500,000 from an
existing term loan. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses through
at least 2001 as it further pursues its commercialization efforts.
As a result of the Company's recurring operating losses, the Company has
been unable to generate a positive cash flow. In management's opinion, the
Company's cash balance at March 31, 2001 and the $825,000 of RJM ARIS license
revenue will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations through October
2001. The Company will require additional capital to fund its working capital
needs in 2001 and 2002. Although the Company believes that it will be
successful in its capital-raising efforts, there is no guarantee that it will be
able to raise such funds on terms that will be satisfactory to the Company. The
Company has developed contingency plans in the event future financing efforts
are not successful. Such plans include reducing expenses and selling or
licensing some of the Company's technologies. Accordingly, at March 31, 2001,
there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. See "Liquidity Going Concern" elsewhere herein for additional
information.
