MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS
|
On September 25, 2019, ClearSign Combustion
Corporation (the “Company”) determined to write-off certain patents included in its patent portfolio based on management’s
analysis of both the cost of maintaining the patents and the likelihood that the inventions described would not have significant
value in the Company’s future technology strategy.
In
conjunction with the decision to write-off the patents, the Company anticipates that it will be required under generally
accepted accounting principles to incur a non-cash impairment charge of an estimated $337,302 in its statement of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other than expenses incurred for maintenance of the patents
but not yet paid, the Company does not expect future cash expenditures relating to the write-off.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended
to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws. Where the Company expresses or implies an
expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have
a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
often contain words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “would,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “believe,” “target,” “indicative,” “preliminary,”
or “potential.” Forward-looking statements in this report include the Company’s estimate of the non-cash
impairment charge. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any “forward-looking
statement,” including, without limitation, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this Current Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
