Dear Kate,

Re: Request for Trading Halt

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX: ESI) requests an immediate trading halt in the Company’s securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 17.1.

The trading halt is requested pending execution and finalisation of an agreement for interim funding measures, pending conclusion of longer term funding arrangements. Negotiations with Monash Capital in relation to the funding approved at the AGM in November 2012 remain in progress.

We are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted and we expect that the halt will be ended by an announcement by the Company of the transaction.

Yours sincerely,

Adam Giles

Company Secretary
