                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  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-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

         Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. ("CDTI" or 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"). Predecessor financial information
included in the accompanying financial statements for the period January 1, 1992
through January 18, 1994 reflects the Company's operations prior to
incorporation, at which time it was accounted for as part of Fuel Tech. As more
fully discussed in Note 2, effective December 12, 1995, Fuel Tech completed a
Rights Offering of the Company's common shares. Accordingly, at December 12,
1995, Fuel Tech held a 27.6% interest in the Company's common shares.

         The Company is a development stage enterprise and its efforts from
January 1, 1992 through June 30, 1996 have been devoted to the research and
development of a platinum fuel catalyst ("PFC") for diesel engines, licensed to
the Company by Fuel Tech. There were no material activities related to the
Company's business prior to 1992.

         The Company's PFC process will require additional research and
development testing in order to determine its commercial viability. The
Company's management believes that the Company has adequate capital to fund its
operations through December 31, 1997 and that additional financing will be
required in the future to commercialize its technologies.

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         In 1995 and 1996 net loss per common share is based on the average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Common
equivalent shares are not included in the per share calculations where the
effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive, except that, in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, common and common equivalent
shares issued during the 12-month period prior to the filing of a proposed
initial public offering and extending through December 12, 1995 (effective date
of the Rights Offering), have been included in the calculation as if they were
outstanding for all periods, using the treasury stock method and the initial
public offering price of $6.50 per share.
<PAGE>

         The demand loan payable to Fuel Tech of $745,000 bears interest at 8%
per annum. Fuel Tech has agreed, however, not to demand repayment of this loan
during 1996. Under the Management and Services Agreement with Fuel Tech, which
the Company renegotiated for months beginning with June, 1996, the Company is to
reimburse Fuel Tech for management, services and administrative expenses it
incurs on behalf of the Company, plus a management fee equal to 3% or 10% of
such charges, depending on the nature of the charge incurred. Prior to June,
1996, the management fee was equal to 10% of all such charges. In the first six
months of 1996, approximately $800,000 of such expenses were incurred.


Note 2.  Rights Offering of the Company's Common Shares

         On December 12, 1995, Fuel Tech completed a Rights Offering to its
existing shareholders of 72.4% of the Company's common shares, retaining 27.6%
of the common shares outstanding. Approximately 1.8 million Company shares were
purchased in the offering, which raised net proceeds of approximately $10.5
million, all of which was contributed by Fuel Tech to the Company. In December
1995, after the offering was completed, the Company paid Fuel Tech approximately
$2.3 million, which represented the repayment of certain loans made to the
Company ($2.1 million), as well as certain expenses of the Rights Offering paid
by Fuel Tech ($200,000).

         On December 26, 1995 the Company's common stock commenced trading on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Quotation System ("NASDAQ") under
the symbol CDTI.


Note 3.  Short-Term Investments

         In June, 1996, the Company purchased a discount note of the United
States Federal Home Loan Bank. The note matures in June, 1997, and has a yield
to maturity of 5.84%.


Note 4.  Warrants to Purchase Common Shares

         Pursuant to a financial consulting agreement with an investment banker,
the investment banker has the right to purchase warrants covering 50,000 of the
Company's common shares, with an exercise price of $6.50 per share, which
represented an 18% premium over market price on the date of issue. The warrants
expire on March 1, 2001.

Item 2     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

         Statements in this Form 10-Q which are not historical facts, so-called
"forward-looking statements, "are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned
that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including
those detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. See Item 1 "Risk Factors of the 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, 1996.

Results of Operations

         General and administrative expenses increased to $492,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $231,000 in the second quarter of 1995, and to $950,000 in
the first six months of 1996 from $417,000 in the first six months of 1995. The
increase was due to expenses associated with the Company moving into its new
corporate headquarters, additional support staff, and increased management and
administrative costs provided by Fuel Tech pursuant to a management and services
agreement. In the first six months of 1996, a greater portion of Fuel Tech
management's time was spent on the Company's business activities, which included
research programs, establishing relationships with potential marketing partners,
and hiring staff.

         Research and development expenses for the second quarter and first six
months of 1996 increased to $352,000 and $576,000, respectively from $153,000
and $235,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively.
The increase was primarily due to significant testing of light- and heavy-duty
engines using the Company's PFC alone and with a catalytic oxidizer. These test
programs were conducted in conjunction with potential marketing partners.

         Patent filing and maintenance expenses were $34,000 and $90,000 in the
second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively, and $44,000 and
$73,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively. The
increase in the first six months of 1996 was primarily due to the preparation
and filing of new patent applications in the first quarter of 1996, both in the
United States and overseas.

         Interest income, net, increased to $85,000 and $186,000 in the second
quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively, from $2,000 and $5,000 in
the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively. The increase was
due to interest earned on higher cash balances resulting from the proceeds of
the Rights Offering.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

         The Company is a development stage company and has incurred losses
since inception aggregating $5,030,000 at June 30, 1996. The Company expects to
incur losses through the foreseeable future as it further pursues its research
and development efforts. In December, 1995 the Company raised approximately
$10.5
<PAGE>

million, net of offering expenses and broker dealer commissions of approximately
$1.3 million, through a Rights Offering of its shares by Fuel Tech.
Approximately $2 million of this amount was received in January, 1996.

         Total cash and cash equivalents were $5.3 million and $6.8 million at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 respectively. The decrease in cash was
principally due to cash used to fund the Company's first half loss.
Additionally, approximately $2 million of proceeds from the Rights Offering was
received in January, 1996, and in June, 1996, the Company purchased a $2 million
note of a United States Federal Government agency, maturing in June, 1997. The
note is classified as a short-term investment in the accompanying balance sheet
at June 30, 1996. Working capital at June 30, 1996 was approximately $6.2
million, a decrease of approximately $2.2 million from December 31, 1995. The
decrease was the result of working capital used to fund the Company's operations
in the first half of 1996 and the current classification of a $0.7 million loan
payable to Fuel-Tech N.V. previously classified as long-term.

         During the remainder of 1996, the Company expects to hire technical,
marketing and administrative employees, and as of February 1, 1996, leased space
for its corporate offices. Additionally, the Company has budgeted increased
spending in the second half of 1996 and 1997 on research and development
programs over 1995 and the first half of 1996. Some of these programs are
expected to be jointly funded by other companies. The Company believes that it
has sufficient cash balances to fund its requirements through 1997. The Company
will require additional financing in the future, and expects to meet its future
cash needs through private placements, a public offering, technology licenses,
and/or the establishment of a credit facility with a financing institution.
However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise such
capital on terms satisfactory to the Company.
