Chief Executive's Statement

Clean Air Power has made a good start to 2013. Like for like revenue for Dual-Fuel™ systems increased by 23% for the period to 30 June 2013, and the total of current orders delivered and those in hand, with either Clean Air Power or our European OEM partner, already exceeds the 2012 total of 300 systems. In June we announced that increased production of standard diesel Euro 5 compliant vehicles ahead of the introduction of Euro 6 emissions standards in Europe had affected the expected production levels of methane-diesel vehicles by our European partner. However, since late June we have seen an encouraging uplift in the level of orders received for delivery in the second half of the year. The increased production of Euro 5 diesel vehicles in 2013 will also increase the number of target vehicles in the market available to retrofit with our Genesis-EDGE product in 2014.

In the US, we have made significant progress during the period developing a US Genesis-EDGE retro fit product for the North American market. In June, we drove the first prototype vehicle coast-to-coast from San Diego to Washington DC where it was exhibited at the Alternative Clean Transportation (ACT), the largest Alternative Fuels EXPO in North America. In the US the refuelling infrastructure, although rapidly growing, was insufficient to support an unbroken journey using gas and therefore more than half of the journey was completed in diesel mode. This very helpfully demonstrated the flexibility and robustness of our Dual-Fuel™ product to potential OEM and fleet customers in North America. The ACT exhibition marked a major achievement for the Company. During and following the show, we received positive feedback from potential partners interested in our Genesis-EDGE Dual-Fuel™ system.

In April 2013 we announced that £1.7m would be received from the California Energy Commission (CEC) managed via a subcontract with the Gas Technology Institute, to support the development of the US Genesis product.

In August 2013 we announced that a global parcel company would be the first trial customer of our US Genesis-EDGE Dual-Fuel™ product. Trials will commence in October 2013 and the parcel company will provide 10 tractor units to be installed with Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel™ system and each will travel approximately 10,000 miles per month. Clean Air Power has a good relationship with this parcel company which has operated 9 Caterpillar C12 tractor units fitted with Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel™ system since 2002, with each having completed over 1 million miles.

In the last 12 months, this customer has made public announcements regarding their intentions to build four natural gas refuelling stations and to purchase in excess of 700 natural-gas powered trucks in 2014. Whilst we have experienced some delays with the development of our US Dual-Fuel™ system, mainly due to commissioning issues with a sub contractor's test cells, we expect to launch our US Genesis product on target in the first quarter of 2014. We also continue to talk to other major fleet operators regarding further trial vehicles for the North American market and we hope to make further announcements soon.

Our clear medium term strategy remains to develop more OEM relationships and we continue discussions with major manufacturers and other partners to develop OEM products for markets in North America, Europe and Asia. However, in the shorter term our Genesis-EDGE retro fit product allows the Company to generate revenues and exert greater control over the speed to market. It also helps validate and promote the technology with future manufacturing partners and major fleet customers.

We were very encouraged with the successful £5m equity fundraising (gross) with strong support from existing and new shareholders. The strategic investment by Ervington Investments and Ms Shvidler confirms the traction to date and the potential of our Dual-Fuel™ technology and endorses our strategy to further develop markets in Europe, US and Russia.

Group Structure

Clean Air Power has two commercial divisions; Dual-Fuel™ vehicle systems and Components.

1) Dual-Fuel™ Vehicle Systems

Clean Air Power's patented Dual-Fuel™ system allows a diesel engine to run on a combination of diesel and natural gas, thereby generating significant reductions in NOx, particulate matter and CO2 emissions as well as generating fuel cost savings for the operator.

The technology is currently available in two main variants; the interfaced OEM product, where Clean Air Power's technology is incorporated into vehicles with the manufacturer's co-operation; and the Genesis-EDGE product, where the technology is added as an after market solution by Clean Air Power under its own brand.

There are four revenue streams derived from this division:

· Sales of Dual-Fuel™ systems to manufacturers for installation on their production lines

· Complete Dual-Fuel™ system conversions on a customer's vehicle on an after market basis carried out by Clean Air Power or its agents

· Sales of Dual-Fuel™ system kits sold direct to approved installation partners

· Revenue from engineering services provided to manufacturers or third parties

The first half of this year has seen sales for the division overall decrease to £3.1m (H1-2012: £3.3m). The decrease is mainly due to the one-off amount received and recognised in the same period last year from Navistar for £0.8m for engineering services completed during 2010, while £0.3k was recognised in 2013 under a development agreement relating to the US Genesis program with funds provided by CEC. Like for like sales of our Dual-Fuel™ systems showed an increase of 23% to £2.7m (2012: £2.2m).

Interfaced OEM Product

The Company's European OEM customer's interfaced Euro 5 compliant product incorporating Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel™ technology commenced factory production in January 2012, with initial markets of UK, Sweden and the Netherlands. The vehicles are produced, marketed and supported by the manufacturer and are now being sold into other European territories.

Incorporating Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel™ technology into these truck engines delivers significant greenhouse gas emission reductions and fuel cost savings compared with standard diesel engines. A Dual-Fuel™ can use natural or bio-gas as the main fuel and can also operate solely on diesel, an important feature as gas distribution infrastructure is immature in most markets.

Euro 5 compliant vehicles can no longer be sold in the European Union after the first quarter of 2014 when new Euro 6 regulations will apply. Australia & the BRIC countries will continue to use Euro 5 compliant trucks. Therefore, these will be key target markets for the Company, particularly Russia, where we have invested in additional sales resources. In May 2013, the Russian Government set out ambitious plans to encourage the use of natural gas as a road fuel throughout the country.

Euro 6 compliant trucks are considerably more expensive than Euro 5 trucks and this has created increased demand from operators keen to buy their diesel trucks before the switch to Euro 6 regulations. This strong demand has lengthened lead times and created production constraints which adversely affected the supply of vehicles from our European OEM partner.

The Company continues to discuss with manufacturers regarding the development of a Dual-FuelTM solution for vehicles compliant with Euro 6 emissions. We also completed a project in partnership with Eminox Limited, funded by the the Niche Vehicle Network, to develop a Euro 6 after-treatment packaging solution. However, the short term priority is to access the potentially higher volumes from the exciting US market by completing our US Genesis-EDGE product. In the US gas infrastructure is more developed than in Europe and there is a higher level of awareness of natural gas as a road fuel.

Genesis-EDGE Vehicle System

The 'Genesis-EDGE' system was developed specifically as an after market solution which can be installed without the need for formal co-operation of the engine manufacturers. The solution does not interface directly with the vehicle's engine management system and up to 60% of the diesel normally used by the vehicle is substituted with natural gas. The emissions reductions and fuel savings are therefore lower than would be expected on a fully interfaced system, but still economically attractive in our target markets.

The Company is currently developing a Genesis-EDGE product for the North American market and the first trial vehicles are expected to be operating in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Euro 5 Genesis-EDGE product will continue to be sold in European Union markets as a retro fit product to operators with Euro 5 compliant trucks. We also intend to sell the Euro 5 Genesis-EDGE product in the Russian and Australian markets to customers with either new or existing vehicles.

In the first half of the year sales opportunities of Genesis-EDGE in the UK market have taken longer to develop than previously anticipated and with some expected orders being sold as the OEM product. However the Company delivered 20 Genesis-EDGE systems of the Renault Magnum 13 litre truck variant, this follows an order for 62 systems from the same customer during 2012. The Company has received orders to be delivered in the second half of 2013 for 41 Genesis-EDGE systems from a major logistics company demonstrating recent improved order inflow.

In total, 172 systems have been delivered in the first half of 2013 being a mixture of OEM and Genesis-EDGE, compared to 116 for the same period last year, an increase of 48%.

2) Components Division

This division designs and delivers innovative hydraulic valves, natural gas injectors and filters for natural gas engines. These components enable automotive and engine manufacturers to build low-emission spark ignited natural gas vehicles that meet worldwide emissions regulations.

Sales for 2013 are slightly ahead of expectations at £1.0m, £0.5m higher than the same period last year to June 2012. The second half of 2013 remains positive as the segment has forward orders in hand for approximately £0.4m.

Financial Review

The six month period to 30 June 2013 has seen revenue increase to £4.1m from £3.9m for the same period in 2012. This has been due mainly to higher vehicle systems sales in 2013 and a strong performance in our Components division.

The Dual-Fuel™ division sales decreased slightly to £3.1m (2012: £3.3m) as sales in 2012 were significantly supported by engineering services sales to Navistar of £0.8m which impacted the profitability metrics to a similar level. In 2013 to 30 June around £0.3m of revenue has been received under an engineering development agreement with funds provided by CEC.

Gross profit was slightly lower at £2.0m compared to £2.1m in the first six months of 2012, although the 2012 figure included the effect of the Navistar income.

Operating loss increased to £1.1m from £0.7m in 2012 and included a £0.1m increase in the amortisation charge and increased sales and staff costs versus 2012. Normalising our results to exclude the exceptional £0.8m Navistar income in 2012 then the net improvement demonstrates Clean Air Power's progress towards profitability.

The net result after tax for the period was a loss of £0.9m, a £0.2m increase on the £0.7m loss for the same period in 2012. The basic loss per share for the period was 0.53p (2012: 0.50p).

Capital expenditure amounted to £1.0m for the period compared with £0.7m in the first half of 2012. The majority of this amount relates to capitalisation of labour and expenses incurred in developing new products.

The cash position as at 30 June 2013 was £2.0m compared with £1.5m as at the end of 2012.

Outlook

In the first half of 2013, the Group made significant progress in a number of areas with its Dual-Fuel™ technology. Following the start of factory production of our European OEM product in 2012 it is encouraging to see orders now being received regularly and our progress in the US market and the potential in Russia is encouraging.

The ACT EXPO in the US increased our confidence in the potential for the US market. We are continuing to develop customer interest in the Genesis-EDGE development program and we were also encouraged by the level of interest in our legacy product for Caterpillar engines. As in most markets, the compelling driver is an economic one due to the difference between the price of diesel and that of domestically produced natural gas. Clean Energy, Shell and Blu Inc. have all commenced installations of public natural gas refuelling stations and have published ambitious plans to roll out many more stations across the US.

Some delays to our US Genesis development project have consumed the budgeted contingency but we expect to launch the product on time in the first quarter of 2014.

We are excited by the initial feedback from our early sales development activity in Russia. We intend to increase the marketing and planning activity in the second half of the year and launch our existing Genesis-EDGE product in Russia early in 2014.

Our Genesis-EDGE retro fit product remains an important part of our short term product offering in that it generates revenue and can facilitate a faster market entry than is typically possible when partnered with a large global manufacturer. However, our core strategic aim remains to develop agreements with such manufacturers on an OEM basis.

Under this OEM strategy we will need to develop more relationships with manufacturers and Tier One suppliers to commercialise the technology on a larger number of products in a variety of markets. While we recognise the need to accelerate our product development activity to capitalise on the growing demand for natural gas products, we also recognise our existing resource limitations. Therefore, in order to leverage our expertise, IP and technology without incurring prohibitive fixed costs we intend to enter a partnership with an organisation that is able to provide skilled engineering resources and facilities on a project by project basis.

We are delighted to see the success of our Dual-Fuel™ products validating the product development activity and the strategy pursued in recent years. The Company's focus on OEM level quality and cost control remains unchanged. With our technology now adopted by and proven with a major European truck manufacturer and industry leading logistics operators in the UK, we have increased confidence in our ability to access new markets, fully exploit existing markets and develop new products in the future.

The recent successful placing, which included a strategic investment by Roman Abramovich, provided funds that will be used to strengthen the Group's balance sheet ahead of future partnerships, to supplement working capital and to support marketing and sales activities in Russia and the US.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Clean Air Power Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2013 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 5 September 2013. Clean Air Power Limited is a public limited Company incorporated in Bermuda whose shares are publicly traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

All of the revenues and operating assets relate to the Group's principal business activities, being vehicle conversion sales and sales of components. Revenue is stated net of value added tax.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted in the European Union; and using the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations adopted for use in the European Union (collectively 'Adopted IFRS').

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (£'000) except when otherwise indicated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts and therefore do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial statements as at 31 December 2012. The financial information for the preceding year is based on the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion. The Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the European Union.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The following standard adopted at 1 January 2013 did not have any impact on the interim results of the Group:

• IFRS 1 Government Loans - Amendments to IFRS 1

• IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendment)

• IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

• IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised)

• IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CLEAN AIR POWER LIMITED

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results for the 6months ended 30 June 2013 which comprises the Interim Consolidated Income Statement, the Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Interim Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the related explanatory notes 1 to 9. We have read the other information contained in the Interim Results report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in in Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The Interim Results report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Results report in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this Interim Results report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union.
