ouch a relatively big fall for cdt..

[capt bligh] 08/3/2007 12:40

Dont know whether to watch this settle or go in now... its certainly a compelling story

Sorry about my misinterpretation of reporting dates, sidewinder2. Very amiss on my behalf....... but meanwhile the rest of the world is sleeping ...

Fourth quarter and year end results not due until the end of March. 90 days after year end. Interim quarterly reports are due 45 days after the end of the quarter. Anticipate that CEO will be reporting strongly rising income into the fourth quarter and new year following the 100% increase in the 3rd qarter of last year over the 3rd quarter of 2005. Growing public and governmental awareness of global warming and environmental issues are now being taken serously and CDT has the right technologies at what is now the right time. Fuel, and therefore cost, saving due to more efficient combustion provided by additive technology now too well recorded for users to ignore. Fuel economy vertified by leading research institute and by Coca Cola Enterprises at numerous depots in the US now confirmed by UK Fleet - Burgoynes - with diesel fuel at UK prices this should be a no brainer with emission reductions in for nothing.

Speed camera i have been holding these for a while but paid in excess of £2.
It appears to be a very thin market.Im not sure how to value the Company on its potential revenue streams.

I'm surprised nobody's come on about the aggressive buying and share price rise on Friday. Several T trades throughout the day showed that some people were intent on scooping up as much stock as available at rising prices. A quarterly announcement is overdue. Maybe on Monday? It's a lovely chart as well.

The significance of the press release of February 12 appears to be completely over the heads of the media and the majority of shareholders. This is probably the most important breakthrough in emission reduction technology for several years. The 70% reduction in the quantity of platinum required for the reduction of PM (particulate matter) revolutionises the process. In the light duty market (cars) 50% of cars now sold in Europe (8 million per annum) are now diesel powered and the proportion is increasing (see Amplats interim report of Feb 15) due to the greater efficiency of diesel engines giving some 40% improvement in mpg. This alone reduces CO2 emissions, which are directly related to the quantity of fossil fuel burned. Euro5 legislation requires the reduction of PM by 2009 which will require the fitting of DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters), the new CDTI technology will give savings of EUR240 to EUR400 per vehicle therefore total savings of up to EUR3.2 billion per annum (8 million x EUR400 = EUR3.2Billion). As annual world production of platinum is currently about 7.3 million ozs, (and less than double that for PGMs as a whole) and it appears that heavily catalysed DPFs (light duty size) require approximately 0.5 ozs of platinum, to fit all 8 million vehicles would require over 50% of current annual platinum production ie approximately 4 million ozs (which with other markets and the requirements for heavy duty vehicles, catalytic converters for gazoline powered cars, electronics, the pharmaceutical industry and jewellery) would be totally unsustainable. A 70% reduction brings this down to 1.2 million ozs which would be sustainable. It will also lead to a reduction of platinum use in the medium and heavy duly markets where heavily catalysed filters are in use but very expensive, at up to $10,000 per vehicle, and have the problem of emitting NO2, but this is also a market that will be growing strongly over the next few years as increasing tough emission regulations come into force worldwide. This does not mean that there will be a surplus of platinum mined (or PGMs as a whole) but that the supply will go much further towards meeting what would be an otherwise be impossible to meet demand and it is CDTIs proprietary technology that will make this achievable.

Charlie do mean that the 2 dollar price will be breached quickly or that the shares will fall back.???

[charlie11908] 03/1/2007 14:26

Cant see First Berlin's reccommendtaion holding for long!!!

SUBJECT: Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (CDTI US)

ANALYST: Ellis Acklin and Meghan Moreland



CURRENT RATING: Buy

PRICE TARGET: $2.00

PREVIOUS CLOSING PRICE: $1.80



KEY POINTS

Clean Diesel announced this morning it has secured $9.5m in commitments in a private placement to new and existing shareholders, including some of the company's own managers. While the fundraising strengthens the company's balance sheet and falls within our expectations, the accompanying issue of 7 million warrants, if exercised, will double the number of new shares being created, further diluting the share.



In total, an aggregate of seven million separable units of common stock and warrants will be issued. The seven million shares of common stock will be placed at $1.35 per share and the warrants will be divided equally in two classes. Class A warrants will entitle the holder until 2 July, 2007 to purchase, for $2.00 per share, one share of common stock for every two shares acquired in the offering. Class B warrants will entitle the holder until 29 December, 2007 to purchase, for $2.50 per share, one share of common stock for every two shares acquired in the offering. If all Class A and Class B warrants are exercised, the total number of common stock outstanding will increase by an additional seven million shares. When this financing is completed, Clean Diesel will have 33.2m common shares outstanding and approximately 44.9m shares on a fully diluted basis.



In our model, we had anticipated a capital increase to take place sometime around the New Year, given the company's weak cash position, which we projected at $0.051 for FY/06. Given this, we outlined in our last Clean Diesel update (23 November 2006) that we expected between $8m and $12m to be raised in the near future. While the $9.5m currently secured in the form of common stock at $1.35 per share falls within our expectations, we did not expect management to issue further warrants. These warrants, should they be exercised, would lead to further dilution of the share.



We will adjust our DCF model to account for the capital measure, after the timing of the issue has been clarified. We expect the improved balance sheet to offset some of the dilutive effects of the warrants and will lower our WACC to reflect the improved financial position. For now we maintain our Buy Rating and Price Target of $2.00.

Broker research says that revenue of $250,000 can be anticipated from the four new customers, from the successful 3rd quarter fuel economy trials, during the fourth quarter and the likely revenue increase in 2007 resulting from these customers can be anticipated in the $2m-$2.5m range. New trials/demonstrations with larger fleets already under way in the fourth quarter. Railroad fuel economy trials now under way with major user - Union Pacific. 2007 revenue conservatively estimated at $5.4 million with stated expectation to raise projections as 2007 unfolds. We have a major company in the making well positioned with technologies widely accepted as the best in the field. In the US $1.5 billion of grants now becoming available under Transportation Bill passed by Congress in late 2005 and now signed by President will provide the kicker for major retrofit programmes that we have been waiting for. Euro '4' NOx reduction requirements and US 2009 requirements cannot be met without manufacturers using Exhaust Gas Recirculation combined with Selective Catalytic Reduction - EGR/SCR - combined technology covered by US and European Patents held by CDT. Emission control market now estimated at $20 billion++ with CDT well positioned to take a substantial share.

Yes business now growing fast. Four out of four fuel economy trials successfully completed in third quarter - two in US and two in Europe - and all now new customers bringing in 25% increase in t/o from these four new customers alone - emission reductions also confirmed. CEO says new larger customer demonstrations already under way in fourth quarter. Major distribution/manufacturing agreements signed with Energenics for Asia/Pacific markets and Extengine non-exclusive for China and US markets. These are major companies - look at their websites - potentially huge business for all CDTs technologies - CWMF (Catalysed Wire Mesh Filter), Fuel Additive and ARIS (Advanced Reagent Injection System). Extengine/CTD CWMF the only system yet approved by Beijing Environment Protection Agency - glowing commment by local director responsible. I believe that Beijing are serious about doing something about diesel emissions in time for the Olympics. Also new distribution agreement for fast growing Scandinavian market at the end of August. CEO confirms new trials in the marine and railroad markets - both huge users of diesel fuel. Already successful trials completed on NY harbour tugs and ferries.

wcj - yes cash is a bit tight but they are growing customer base fast and income is rising fast too:


Highlights

* Revenue doubled compared with Q3 2005
* Four fleet trials successfully completed and each has converted into a customer
* Several large, high profile trials for Q4 already underway


Dr. Bernhard Steiner, President and CEO, comments: "We are delighted to report
that our products continue to gain traction in our commercial markets and that
our focused sales and marketing efforts have generated new customers and
distributors. At the same time existing customers have extended their usage.
All of our businesses and technological areas are progressing according to plan,
and we are pleased with their continued innovation and development. We have
also entered into several trials in the fields of marine, rail and agricultural
/ off road applications. All of these trials are performing very positively and
the Company is expecting to turn these trials into ongoing customers.


"With this experience the Company is now poised to broadly go to its markets and
offer both large and small corporations its leading emission reduction
technologies coupled with meaningful improvements in fuel economy."

asparks - yes, they have burned through 4m cash in last 9 months and only have 1m left

[ne_f] 13/11/2006 09:19

todays press says this co are signing customers !

I'm close to a UK co that are testing this and reports say it seems it will save fuel. if this is real it could be a worth a punt... any one else got knowledge of other tests? if we get 3 or 4 people saying the same then it gets less risky !!

Come on chums what can you find out

[asparks] 13/11/2006 08:27

very muted response to an excellent RNS roday.
can anyone offer any reasons for this?

[asparks] 20/10/2006 09:34

02 diesel up 16% yesterday

[asparks] 20/10/2006 09:29

getting very near a breakout

[stu31] 03/10/2006 19:06

LOL, you are right, "one cannot let such ill-informed and un-researched comment pass"..market cap £500m within 4 years..LOL.

How can you possibly suggest the CDT does not now have a top marketing team in place. The CEO was appointed to commercialise the technologies after the technical people had developed and patented the technologies in the vehicle emission field including the use of platinum with cerium in fuel/combustion additives; the airless Advanced Reagent Injection System (ARIS)which is being adopted by the industry to meet the in-coming NOx reduction requirements and EGR/SCR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation/Selective Catalytic Reduction), in which CDT holds key US and European patents and which several leading industry figures, including the CEO of Daimler Chrysler, have said is the only way to meet the Euro 2007 and US 2009 emission control standards. Bernhard Steiner has an enviable track record having, as CEO, taken new products from start up to market leadership for a division of Motorola; Wayfarer Systems AG of Sweden and NXT Plc in the UK. The respective COOs for North America and International that he has brought in both have impressive track records in marketing as well as technical expertise in the emission control field. It is true that the marketing experience of the former COO for North America was weak but the CEO has rectified this and we now have a top man in the field in place. Any fool should have realised that emission control is driven by legislation. But legislation is in place, although the legislators have allowed industry far too long a lead-in to enforcement, but the lead-in times are now running out and enforcement programmes are coming into place worldwide, viz the London Taxi retrofit programme which started on July 1, over the next 18 months all London Cabs will be required to reduce pollution by a rolling retro-fit programme - CDTs product is an integral part of both approved retofit systems. Copenhagen buses are being retrofitted with CDTs technology as have several Belgian bus fleets with more to follow and a large retro-fit programme has been initiated in the Netherlands; in Australia buses in Sydney are being retro-fitted using CDTs technologies; orders in Scandinavia have now required the appointment of a large Nordic company as distributors; Transport for London are now using CDTs products on all their heavy duty track laying locomotives to mention but a few and the list is growing almost daily. I was not going to bother any more with this board but one cannot let such ill-informed and un-researched comment pass.
