: CDI CDI compact disc interactive: a system for storing a mix of software, data, audio, and compressed video for interactive use under processor control ), an innovation leader for clean energy and environmental technologies to reduce harmful engine emissions, reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Total revenue for the quarter was $216,000 with a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.06 loss per share, versus revenue of $269,000 for the comparable quarter of 2006 with a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.06 loss per share. The higher revenue last year was due primarily to a market assessment consulting project that generated $73,000 in the 2006 quarter.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company made substantial progress in its ongoing initiative to achieve technology license agreements with significant manufacturers and component suppliers. Clean Diesel Technologies will announce its achievements as agreements are signed and its licensees have consented to the contents of the announcements.

"We are confident this will be a landmark year for Clean Diesel," said Dr. Bernhard Steiner, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The quarter's numbers don't tell the interesting part of the story, but it is worth emphasizing that with our cash on hand and the potential for additional financing from the exercise of our outstanding warrants, we will have enough staying power to achieve our strategic goals. As of today, we are poised for growth through OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  and Tier-One supply and licensing agreements, some of which have been in test and negotiation for many years. The progress we have made in our license negotiations is leading to exciting new opportunities for the Company and its partners."

Dr. Walter Copan, Executive VP and Chief Technology Officer, said, "The growing concern over the effects of air pollution has resulted in substantially more demanding requirements to control oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter particulate matter

Dr. Steiner added that the strength of the worldwide movement toward more environmentally friendly technology promises to benefit Clean Diesel in the coming months because of the Company's focus on expanding application of technologies and solutions designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful engine emissions.

"Over the course of the Company's existence, we have performed extensive and rigorous testing at best-in-class reference sites, collecting significant data that have enabled us to gain the respect of regulators and the interest of major manufacturers worldwide. We are proud that our technologies can clean up vehicles already on the road as well as those from the OEM market, along with stationary engines for such applications as power generation - but perhaps more importantly, we believe our technologies can provide keys to producing ultra-low emission vehicles in the future. The upside is that our technologies also provide significant fuel savings so that implementation 'pays for itself'," Steiner said.

Additive revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $122,000 compared to $150,000 in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $28,000, or 18.7%, due to a shift in order placement resulting from a transition of supply chain to distribution partners. Hardware revenue was $83,000 in the 2007 first quarter compared to $45,000 in the same 2006 period, an increase of $38,000, or 84.4%, due to increased sales of our ARIS ARIS American Religious Identification Survey

License fees and royalty revenue was $11,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $10,000 primarily due to royalty payments related to the Company's ARIS technology.

Operating costs and expenses were $2,058,000 in the three month ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1,906,000 in the comparable 2006 period, an increase of $152,000, or 8.0%, reflecting higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher patent-related costs, partially offset by lower research and development expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $551,000 of non-cash charges for the fair value of stock options compared to $53,000 in non-cash share-based compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2006 in accordance with SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
