See note to financial statements. - 5 - CLEAN DIESEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (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, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. 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, 2002. 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 15.2% interest in the Company as of March 31, 2003. The Company is a specialty chemical and energy technology company supplying fuel additives and proprietary systems that reduce harmful emissions from internal combustion engines while improving fuel economy. During December 1999, the Company received its EPA registration for its platinum - cerium product. The success of the Company's technologies will depend upon the commercialization opportunities of the technologies and governmental regulations, and corresponding foreign and state agencies. 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. As a result of the Company's recurring operating losses ($22,934,000 since inception excluding non-cash preferred stock dividends), the Company has been unable to generate a positive cash flow and will require additional capital in the future in order to fund its operations, as its current cash position will not be sufficient to fund the Company's cash requirements. The Company is, however, actively seeking additional financing through a private placement in order to fund its commercialization efforts. Without any further funding or significant revenues from sales, demonstration programs, or license fees, the Company expects to be able to fund operations through the third quarter of 2003. 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. Based on such plans, CDT may be required to delay, scale back or severely curtail its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. Accordingly, at March 31, 2003, 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 August 2001, the Company completed a license agreement with Mitsui for CDT's ARIS 2000 NOx control system for all stationary diesel power generators in Japan. Under the agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront license payment of $495,000, and will receive ongoing standard royalties on each system sold by Mitsui. The Company recognized the license payment as revenue in 2001, as there is no significant ongoing services to be performed by the Company. Mitsui also has an option to license the ARIS technology for mobile applications in Japan for an additional license fee. In December 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies completed an additional exclusive license agreement with Mitsui for the mobile ARIS technology for Japan. Under terms of the agreement Mitsui agreed to pay CDT a $250,000 license fee and Mitsui committed to spend an additional $200,000 in developing, testing and demonstrating ARIS mobile prototypes. CDT recognized the $250,000 license revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. Royalty fees are recognized by the Company when earned. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Costs relating to the research, development and testing of products including verification expenses for testing programs with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are charged to operations as they are incurred. These costs include test programs, salary and benefits, consultancy fees, materials and certain testing equipment. PATENT EXPENSE Patent costs are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of each patent. NOTES PAYABLE In November 2000, the Company arranged a $1,000,000 term loan with three private lenders. The term loan had a 10% interest rate and was payable in full on May 14, 2002. The Company drew down $500,000 in November 2000 and the remaining $500,000 in March of 2001. As part of the private placement stock transaction in December 2001, $750,000 of the outstanding term loan plus accrued interest was converted to common stock. The remaining $250,000 portion of the term loan plus accrued interest was paid in cash on January 18, 2002. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In October 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies received $1.356 million (net of $69,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 704,349 shares of its Common Stock on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market)London Stock Exchange. In 2001, the Company received proceeds of $3.721 million (net of $0.644 million in expenses and $0.817 million in term loan re-payment) through private placements of 2,580,664 of its Common Stock on AIM. In 2001, $1,897,000 of dividends were declared for Series A preferred stock and converted into the Company's Common Stock. On December 28, 2001, the Company converted all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (15,897 shares) including accrued stock dividends, into Common Stock (5,934,829 shares). - 7 - In 2000, the Company received $1.021 million through private placements of 1,362 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, in 1999 $1.75 million was raised through a private placement of 3,500 Series A preferred stock shares and in 1998, $1.4 million of bridge loans and $0.5 million of term loans were converted into 2,800 and 1,029 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Clean Diesel Technologies accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under CDT's current plan, options may be granted at not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and therefore no compensation expense is recognized for the stock options granted to employees. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of this Statement as of December 31, 2002. If compensation expense for CDT's plan had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under its plan, consistent with the method described in SFAS No. 123, CDT's net loss and basic and diluted loss per common share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the three months ended March 31:
2003 2002 -------- ------- Net loss as reported $ (907) $ (668) Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (134) (174) -------- ------- Pro forma net loss $(1,041) $ (842) Net loss per share: Basic and diluted loss per common share-as reported $ (0.08) $(0.06) Basic and diluted per common share-pro forma $ (0.09) $(0.08)
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, for purposes of the pro forma disclosures the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the option vesting period. The application of the pro forma disclosures presented above are not representative of the effects SFAS No. 123 may have on operating results and earnings (loss) per share in future years due to the timing of stock option grants and considering that options vest over a period of three years. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because CDT's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. The fair value of each option grant, for pro forma disclosure purposes, was estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the 2002 grants, expected dividend yield 0%, risk free interest rate 4.85%, expected volatility 94.2% and expected life of the option 4 years. No options were granted in the first quarter of 2003. EARNINGS PER SHARE Stock options and stock purchase warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because either the Company reported a - 8 - 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 In November 2000, the Company secured a $1,000,000 term loan facility at a 10% interest rate from several preferred shareholders, including Fuel Tech Inc. which pledged $250,000. In 2000 and 2001 the Company drew down the entire $1,000,000 term loan. In December 2001, $750,000 of term loan and accrued interest was repaid as part of the December 2001 private placement of common stock discussed in the stock holders equity note. In January 2002, the Company repaid the remaining $250,000 term loan payable to Fuel Tech plus accrued interest. 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 in both the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company had a deferred salary plan with its Chief Executive Officer in which he deferred $62,500 of his annual salary until the Company reaches $5 million in revenue. This agreement was terminated in March 2001 and the executive's salary was returned to full pay. At March 31, 2003 total obligations were $135,400 pertaining to this plan. The Company makes annual pension payments or accruals pursuant to a deferred compensation plan on behalf of its Chief Executive Officer. For the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, $12,500 for each quarter was expensed in connection with such plan. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, total obligations were $295,200 and $245,200 pertaining to this plan. COMMITMENTS The Company is obligated under a sublease agreement for its principal office. The Company has agreed to a 12 month extension with a three month notice for termination of the lease through December 2003, at an annual rate of $116,000. The Company's minimum lease payment for 2003 is $58,000. For the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, rental expense approximated $27,625 and $22,792, respectively. Effective October 28, 1994, Fuel Tech granted two licenses to the Company for all patents and rights associated with its platinum fuel catalyst 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 platinum fuel catalysts commencing in 1998. The royalty obligation expires in 2008. The Company may terminate the royalty obligation to Fuel Tech by payment of $6,545,455 in 2003 and declining annually to $1,090,910 in 2008. The Company as assignee and owner will maintain the technology at its own expense. Minimum royalties were paid to Fuel Tech in 2002 and royalties payable to Fuel Tech at March 31, 2003 is $946. MARKETING AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS In December 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies completed an additional exclusive license agreement with Mitsui for the mobile ARIS technology for Japan. Under terms of the agreement Mitsui agreed to pay CDT a $250,000 license fee and Mitsui committed to spend an additional $200,000 in developing, testing and demonstrating ARIS mobile prototypes. CDT recognized the $250,000 license revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. Clean Diesel has previously completed an exclusive ARIS license for the ARIS NOx reduction technology for stationary applications in Japan. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - 9 - In April 2003, Clean Diesel Technologies completed a non-exclusive license agreement with Combustion Component Associates Inc. (CCA) of Monroe, Connecticut, for the mobile ARIS technology in the US. Under terms of the agreement CCA agreed to pay CDT a $150,000 license fee and committed to spend an additional $100,000 in developing, testing and demonstrating ARIS mobile prototypes. CDT will also receive ongoing royalty payments on a per unit basis. CDT will recognize the $150,000 license revenue in the second quarter of 2003, as there are no significant ongoing services required to be performed by CDT. - 10 - CLEAN DIESEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 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, 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Product sales and cost of sales were $88,000 and $57,000 respectively for the first quarter of 2003 versus $60,000 and $44,000 for 2002. Platinum Plus fuel catalyst sales of $41,000 and $13,000 were recorded in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. ARIS product sales of $22,000, primarily to Mitsui & Co., Ltd., were also recorded in the first quarter of 2003. Included in the 2003 and 2002 first quarter revenue was $8,000 and $11,000, respectively, of license and royalty income. The 2003 license and royalty income is from a major European diesel fuel system supplier for a 6 month lease of an ARIS 2000 system and from continuing royalties from Mitsui, Ltd. and RJM sales of ARIS 2000 systems. General and administrative expenses increased $136,000 to $692,000 in the first quarter 2003 versus $556,000 in the same period of 2002. The rise in spending is related to increases in salaries and travel related to the marketing of the Company's products and higher professional fees. Research and development expenses increased $137,000 to $248,000 in 2003 versus $111,000 in the comparable period in 2002. The increase is attributable to initial CARB and EPA verification programs for the Company's FBC. Patent filing expense decreased $18,000 to $10,000 in 2003 versus $28,000 in the comparable 2002 period. The decrease is due to a change in accounting policy for which the Company will capitalize its patent costs and amortize such costs over the life of the related patent. Interest income decreased $11,000 in 2003 to $4,000 from $15,000 in the comparable period of 2002. This was the result of a decrease in the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand in the first quarter of 2003 versus the first quarter of 2002. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL Prior to 2000, the Company was primarily engaged in research and development and has incurred losses since inception aggregating $22,934,000 (excluding the effect of the non-cash preferred stock dividends). The Company expects to incur losses through the foreseeable future as it further pursues its commercialization efforts. Although the Company started selling limited quantities of product in 1999 and licensing revenue in 2000 and 2001, sales and revenue to date have been insufficient to cover operating expenses, and the Company continues to be dependent upon sources other than operations to finance its working capital requirements. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company used cash of $595,000 and $511,000 respectively, in operating activities. - 11 - At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,409,000 and $2,083,000, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2003 was the result of the increased verification programs with EPA and CARB and the on-going marketing and operation costs. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses through at least 2003 as it further pursues its commercialization efforts. In October 2002, Clean Diesel Technologies received $1.356 million (net of $69,000 in expenses) through a private placement of 704,349 shares of its Common Stock on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market) London Stock Exchange. In November 2000, the Company secured a $1,000,000 privately financed term loan facility. In December 2000, the Company drew down $500,000 of the term loan facility and in March 2001 the remaining $500,000 of the term loan was drawn down. As part of the private placement stock transaction in December 2001, $750,000 of the outstanding term loan plus accrued interest was converted to common stock. The remaining $250,000 plus accrued interest was paid in cash in January 2002. In December 2001, the Company received $3.721 million (net of expenses and term loan repayment) through a private placement of 2,580,664 shares of its common stock. In conjunction with the private placement, the Company converted all of its Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock. All of the Company's Common Stock shares were registered to trade on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange. 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, 2003 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations through the third quarter 2003. The Company will require additional capital to fund its future operations. 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 will develop contingency plans in the event future financing efforts are not successful. Such plans may include reducing expenses and selling or licensing some of the Company's technologies. Accordingly, at March 31, 2003 there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK In the opinion of management, with the exception of exposure to fluctuations in the cost of platinum, the Company is not subject to any significant market risk exposure. The Company generally receives all income in United States dollars. The Company typically makes several small payments monthly in various foreign currencies for patent expenses, product tests and registration, local marketing and promotion and consultants. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within 90 days prior to the filling date of this report, the Company's certifying officers performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be sufficient to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared. There were no significant changes in the registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. - 12 - PART II.
