Final Results
KleenAir Systems International plc
("KleenAir" or the "Company")
Annual report for the year ended 30 September 2007
31 March 2008
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Sales in the year were £35,102 (9 months to 30 September 2006: Nil) and group
costs, which were primarily associated with management infrastructure and the
costs of implementing our applications engineering and administrative facility
in Ross-on-Wye, amounted to £866,817 (£710,281). The loss for the year was
£825,003 (£699,262).
Following the confirmation of the London Low Emission Zone ("LEZ") program,
which was signed into effect on 9 May, 2007 by Mayor Livingstone, the company
proceeded to submit its product for testing by Transport for London ("TfL"). The
certification that qualified KleenAir's filter for the LEZ was received in early
September. As stated in the interim report, initial revenue was expected for the
last quarter of 2007.
Shipments began in October, just after the end of the financial year. These
related to the first phase of the LEZ program which required that heavy goods
vehicles ("HGVs") over 12 tonnes be upgraded to Euro III standards by 4 February
2008. However, TfL changed the terms of reference such that many vehicles that
had been expected to be upgraded were exempted. This reduced the potential
market size from the previously estimated 24,000 to an estimated number of fewer
than 10,000.
In addition, confusion in the market place arising from these exemptions
resulted in many operators of vehicles significantly delaying the placing of
orders. The company has been ramping up shipments to complete the first phase
and is commencing shipments for the second phase of the programme, which relates
to HGVs of 3.5 - 12 tonnes. The current level of shipments represents a market
share of about 8 per cent, which is in the range of the company's expectations.
The adoption of LEZ programmes in other cities in the UK has not progressed as
rapidly as hoped and is still under discussion by some 8 major urban local
authorities. On the other hand, following enabling legislation and directives
from the European Commission there are now more than sixty cities throughout
Europe investigating or implementing LEZs of their own. The company will make a
major effort to participate in this market opportunity.
The company has negotiated access to a transport refrigeration unit suitable for
retrofitting refrigerator trucks operated by the largest food chains, food
suppliers and food distributors. This will be launched at the Commercial Vehicle
Show at the NEC in Birmingham next month. While the cabs that haul these
trailers meet current standards, the engines that run the refrigeration systems
on the trailers do not. We aim to resolve the operators' problem created by this
anomaly.
This month, the company has successfully completed a further offering of shares,
raising in excess of £1 million through Charles Street Securities Inc. and
following this investment, Robert Hayim, Managing Director of CSS Capital
Managers LLP has joined the board. We are now carrying out the due diligence
procedures prior to making an investment of £300,000 in Nonox plc, a company
with intellectual property ("IP") relating to stationary source particulate
reduction systems applied to oil-fired boilers. The company believes that by
harnessing its NOx reduction IP with the Nonox technology it can create a
combined particulate and NOx reduction package that can be applied to both
boilers and stationary electric generators, common in, for example, apartment
buildings, office buildings and hospitals. This will enable the company to
reduce emissions from stationary as well as mobile sources and so diversify its
markets.
I am confident that the products and technologies in the company's portfolio,
together with the technical and marketing team and the physical facilities now
in place, will enable the company to become a significant force in meeting the
demand for emissions reductions solutions driven by the implementation of the
LEZs both in the UK and on the continent.

1. Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985 and with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK GAAP).
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and
on a going concern basis because in the view of the directors and despite losses
to date, sales have now commenced and the company has been successful in raising
funds to support its growth.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of
the company and all group undertakings. These are adjusted, where appropriate,
to conform to group accounting policies. Acquisitions are accounted for under
the acquisition method and goodwill on consolidation is capitalised. The results
of companies acquired are included in the profit and loss account after the date
that control passes. As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a
separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the
group financial statements by virtue of section 230 of the Companies Act 1985.
Related parties transactions
The company is the parent company of the group and consolidated accounts have
been prepared. Accordingly, the group has taken advantage of the exemption in
FRS 8 'Related Party Disclosures' from disclosing transactions with members of
the group.
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable in the course of the company's ordinary
activities arising from the supply of vehicle filters for use in the London Low
Emission Zone, exclusive of VAT, and therefore, in one business segment and
geographical region, the United Kingdom.
Intangible assets
Research and development
Research expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account as incurred.
Development expenditure is written off in the same way unless the directors are
satisfied as to the technical, commercial and financial viability of individual
projects. In this situation, the expenditure is deferred and amortised over the
period during which the company is expected to benefit
Other intangible assets
Intellectual property rights are included at cost and amortised on a straight-
line basis over their useful economic lives.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset over the
useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Goodwill - 10 years
Intellectual property rights - 10 years
Research and development - 5 years
Tangible Fixed Assets
All tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its
estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as
follows:
Leasehold improvements - over the term of the lease
Plant and equipment - 4 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 4 years straight line
Investments
Investments are recorded at cost less amounts written off.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have
originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or
events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more,
or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax except that deferred tax assets
are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more
likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the
future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on
tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into
sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions
in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange
ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into
account in arriving at the operating profit.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits
and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a
straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Financial Instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the
substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share
capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial
instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are
presented as such in the balance sheet.
Where none of the contractual terms of share capital meets the definition of a
financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument.
Share-based payment
Equity-settled share-based payment
All share-based payment arrangements granted since the company's incorporation
on 16th March 2004 that had not vested prior to 1 October 2006 are recognised in
the financial statements.
All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based
payment are measured at their fair values. Where employees are rewarded using
share-based payments, the fair values of employees' services are determined
indirectly by reference to the fair value of the instrument granted to the
employee. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the
impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales
growth targets).
All equity-settled share-based payments are ultimately recognised as an expense
in the profit and loss account with a corresponding credit to "other reserve".
If vesting periods or other non-market vesting conditions apply, the expense is
allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the
number of share options expected to vest. Estimates are revised subsequently if
there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest
differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is
recognised in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense
recognised in prior periods if share options that have vested are not exercised.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of attributable
transaction costs would be credited to share capital, and where appropriate
share premium.

7 Loss attributable to members of the parent company
The loss dealt with in the accounts of the parent company was £119,421 (2006:
£174,188).
8 Earnings (loss) per share
Loss per ordinary share has been calculated using the weighted average number of
shares in issue during the relevant financial periods. The calculations of both
basic and diluted earnings per share for the year are based upon a loss after
tax of £825,003 (2006: loss of £699,262).
The weighted number of equity shares used in the basic calculation is 19,953,067
(2006: 17,424,682). The weighted average number of shares used in the dilution
calculation is 19,953,067 (2006: 17,424,682). As the potential ordinary shares
issued are deemed anti-dilutive they have been excluded from the calculation of
the weighted average number of shares, for the purposes of the dilution.

In March 2007 882,500 ordinary shares were issued to Pershing Keen Nominees Ltd
at £0.17 per share, followed by the issue of 882,500 ordinary shares to Bramley
Ltd for £150,025.
Further to an announcement made on 5 February 2008, the Company has to date,
completed the placing of 6,595,503 new ordinary 1p shares ("Ordinary Shares") at
15.75p per share, raising £1,038,792 (the "Placing") before expenses.
Subscribers to the Placing have in addition been granted warrants. Each
warrant, which will be exercisable, generally, until 4 April 2009, entitles its
holder to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares ("Warrant Shares") at par to ensure
that the price per share paid by subscribers in the Placing, taking into account
the Warrant Shares, will be the equivalent to a twenty five per cent discount to
the placing price per Ordinary Share in any placing of Ordinary Shares (or any
other securities with rights to subscribe or convert into Ordinary Shares) with
third party investors in relation to which trading in the relevant placing
shares or securities commences on AIM on or prior to 31 December 2008
("Subsequent Placing") and, in the absence of a Subsequent Placing, a twenty
five per cent discount to the average mid-market closing price of the Ordinary
Shares on AIM for the 90 trading days prior to 31 December 2008.
Share Option Scheme
In accordance with an agreement dated 31 August 2005, the company established an
approved share option scheme under the Enterprise Management Incentive Option
Agreement on behalf of its directors and employees. No options were issued
during the year. As at 30 September 2007 options over 501,658 shares were
outstanding, including 200,000 in respect of directors of the group. The
earliest possible vesting date for these options is three years from grant date.
To date no options have been exercised.
Given the volatility of the shares, the directors believe that the fair value of
the options is not materially different from the maximum value (market value of
shares at grant date).
The directors have adopted a vesting period of three years for the pre 1 Jan
2006 options and a charge of £74,441 has been made during the year (2006:
£12,450). On the grounds of immateriality, no prior year adjustment has been
made.
The exercise prices of the outstanding options as at 1 January 2006 and 30
September 2007 are

Some of the comparative figures appearing in the financial statements for the 9
month period ended 30 September 2006 were presented incorrectly, in error. These
comparative figures have been amended in this set of financial statements. These
errors did not impact on the movement in net funds shown in the group cash flow
statement, nor the increase in cash, as originally set out in the financial
statements for the 9 month period ended 30 September 2006. The table below shows
those figures which were materially incorrect and which have now been amended.
