PART I

Item 1.  Business.

 

General

 

We are headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, designs, builds and markets clean energy products focused on energy efficiency for a better, cleaner, and environmentally sustainable future. The Companys principal product is the Clean CycleTM generator, offered through its wholly owned subsidiary Clean Energy HRS LLC dba Heat Recovery Solutions, Inc., (HRS or Heat Recovery Systems). The Clean CycleTM generator captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity that users can use or sell back to the grid.  By using our Clean CycleTM generator commercial and industrial heat generators boost their overall energy efficiency by approximately 12%, and the savings created provide our customers with a return on their investment within 3-4 years, depending on the installation and local energy prices. Our product saves fuel, reduces pollution and requires very little maintenance. Our goal is to position CETY to become a worldwide leader in the energy efficiency market.


 Organic Rankine Cycle System Using Clean Cycle Generator



[cetyform10k10k3.jpg]


The Rankine Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that converts heat into energy. The organic Rankine cycle is similar. Heat from an industrial waste source is passed through a heat exchanger where it superheats cold fluid that is vaporized. The vapor is passed through an expansion device (turbine or other expander) which creates electricity, and then through a condenser where the vapor is re-condensed to liquid and cooled. The cycle repeats itself generating energy.


We produce a turnkey Organic Rankine Cycle system we call the Clean CycleTM generator.  Our Clean Cycle TM generators create additional power from waste heat with no additional emission and come in two models, skids for use inside a plant or containers for outdoor applications. Our customers may use their own heat exchangers or condensers or we provide these products as part of our integrated system through third party suppliers.

We compete based on efficiency, maintenance and our customers return on investment. We have an exclusive license from Calnetix to use their magnetic turbine for heat waste recovery applications. We believe that the magnetic turbine technology is more efficient than our competitors turbines which allows our systems to generate more electricity at lower heat ranges.  Because our generator is magnetic, it requires far less maintenance



6


than our competitors who use oil, gearbox and rubber seals in their turbines.  We have the advantage of selling a system that was originally manufactured and sold by General Electric International so our Clean CycleTM generator has a substantial market base and we believe has a reputation as one of the defacto standards in the market.


Our greatest advantage is that the Clean CycleTM generator is a product that can be delivered on a turnkey basis, not a major project that needs to be designed, manufactured and installed. We believe that this is one of the most distinguishing features of our Clean Cycle generator, as it significantly reduces the time our customers spend on installation, improves the speed with which we can deliver our product and reduces startup costs.   


Corporate History


We were incorporated in California in July 1995 under the name Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc.  We redomiciled   to Nevada in April 2005 under the name Probe Manufacturing, Inc. We manufactured electronics and provided services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication, military, and high technology products  On September 11, 2015 Clean Energy HRS, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired the assets of Heat Recovery Solutions from General Electric International  In November 2015, we changed our name to Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. 


Our Products


Our CE HRS subsidiary provides clean energy and environmentally sustainable technology solutions to companies through the offering of heat recovery solutions products. The Companys principal product offering currently is the Clean CycleTM  generator. The Clean Cycle generator converts heat from a variety of sources into clean, affordable electricity.


Our Clean CycleTM  generator  generates electricity from any heat source, typically through a heat exchanger and a closed loop hot water or steam loop directed to the Clean CycleTM  generator. The process by which the Clean CycleTM   generator generates electricity is  called the Organic Rankine Cycle.


Our Clean CycleTM  generator:   


·

 requires no fuel,

·

produces no emissions, and

·

is closed loop, meaning it has feedback control within the system.

·

Meticulously engineered and improved by General Electric International and

·

is available in a complete package for indoor, outdoor and remote sites.


The major components are delivered as a complete turnkey package and include, the Integrated Power Module (IPM), our patented the magnetic bearing turbine, the electronics controls with the ancillary mechanical parts, packaged inside a container when used outdoors. The condenser comes as a separate piece which is purchased by either us or our customer through third party manufactures and attaches to the top of the container. Once the condenser is attached to the container all that is left to do is attach the container to the heat source, and it is ready to produce energy.

Due to the low amount of moving parts the IPM is a minimal maintenance solution, that requires no oils, no lubricants, no external rotating seals, and does not require manned operation. The whole package (except condenser) is mounted inside a 20ft shipping container. The Condenser comes as a separate piece and attaches to the top of the container. Once the condenser is attached to the container all that is left to do is attach the container to the heat source, and it is ready to produce energy.

The Clean Cycle Containerized Generator


[cetyform10k10k5.gif]

Clean CycleTM generator and the Organic Rankine Cycle


The Organic Rankine Cycle  is a thermodynamic process where heat is transferred to a fluid at a constant pressure. The fluid inside the generator is vaporized and then expanded in a vapor turbine that drives a turbine generator, producing electricity. The spent vapor is condensed to liquid and recycled back through the cycle.


Its applications include power generation from solar, geothermal and waste heat sources. According to an article in Distributed Energy, a leading industry magazine, Organic Rankine Cycle systems are most useful for waste heat recovery. Waste heat recovery can be applied to a variety of low­ to medium temperature heat streams.


We have used our Clean Cycle Containerized Generator in Marshall Island for Marshall Electric Company to offset engine fuel use and produce additional electricity. The two cycle generators will generate an estimated 184kW of net electrical power from the heat of exiting engines. The clean cycle units, which require no added fuel and produce no additional emissions, are expected to displace 3.5 million liters of fuel and 10,000 metric tons of CO2. Our products are be particularly useful in nations where the cost of energy is high, and the savings rapidly offset the cost of their fuel and reduce emissions.


We currently hold 15 patents in 6 countries and 28 pending applications in 8 countries, which was acquired from General Electric International. Majority of our materials and components are procured domestically from mechanical and electrical suppliers. We have in-house electro-mechanical assembly and testing capabilities. Our products are compliant with American Society of Mechanical Engineers and are UL and CE approved.


We are currently in default on the payment of the purchase price pursuant to our asset purchase agreement with General Electric International due to a combination of our inability to raise sufficient capital as expected and our belief that we are entitled to a reduction in purchase price we paid. We are in the process of negotiations with General Electric International. .

The sales of our products are related to the global prices for oil, gas, coal and solar energy. As prices increase our products produce a better return on investment for our customers.

  

Our Market

 

The world currently faces fundamental problems with its energy supply, which are due primarily to the reliance on fossil fuels. The economic prosperity of the wealthiest nations in the twentieth century was built on a ready supply of inexpensive fossil fuel and developing nations have continued in the twenty-first century to consume fossil fuel reserves at an ever increasing rate. This has led to worldwide reserve depletions, indicating that both oil and gas are likely to be effectively exhausted before the end of this century. Only coal reserves are expected to last into the next century. Yet even if fossil fuel supplies were unconstrained, their continued use poses its own problems. All fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide, which appears to result in the warming of the earth's atmosphere with profound environmental implications across the globe.

 

These problems have resulted in the realization that the world must both increase the efficiency of its utilization of fossil fuels and decrease its reliance upon them. Environmental issues related to fossil fuel combustion were began to be noticed during the 1980s with the advent of acid rain, a product of the sulfur and nitrogen emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Power plants were forced by legislation and economic measures to control these emissions. However it is the recognition of global warming that presents the most serious challenge because carbon dioxide exists at much higher levels in the flue gases of power plants and major types of industrial manufacturing facilities than sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

 

Although renewable energy capacity offers a hedge against major price rises because most renewable technologies exploit a source of energy that is freely available, many renewable technologies today still rely on government subsidies to make them competitive. Governments may also impose penalties upon companies, such as carbon trading schemes, which discourage the use of fossil fuels or increase its costs by imposing stringent emissions limits.

 

Given the international concerns regarding global warming and pollution and the need to more efficiently utilize fossil fuels, we believe that there exists substantial worldwide demand and a growing market for our Clean Cycle TM generators that can enable companies to generate greater amounts of energy from the same supply of fossil fuels and that also reduce the amount of harmful emissions that would otherwise be released from the combustion of those fossil fuels. Our technologies, including our Clean Cycle TM generators, could benefit companies by both reducing energy costs and mitigating possible emissions penalties.


The market for waste heat recovery is well defined and, according to a recent report published by the U.S. Department of Energy Waste Heat recovery: Technology and Opportunities in US Industry and International Energy Agency report, World Energy Outlook 2012 ,   20 to 50% of industrial energy input is lost as waste heat. and ~3/5 of the primary energy used in power plants becomes waste heat. The opportunity in the waste heat recovery market is substantial.  The report continues, A valuable alternative approach to improving overall energy efficiency is to capture and reuse the lost or waste heat that is intrinsic to all manufacturing processes. During these manufacturing processes, as much as 20% to 50% of the energy consumed is ultimately lost via waste heat contained in streams of hot exhaust gases and liquids, as well as through heat conduction, convection, and radiation from hot equipment surfaces and from heated product streams.  In some cases, such as industrial furnaces, waste heat recovery can improve energy efficiency by 10% to as much as 50%.


The advantage of recapturing and utilizing waste heat is that it typically replaces purchased electric power, much of which does and will continue to require burning fossil fuels, or directly replaces fuels which must be purchased and combusted. Thus it actually can directly reduce emissions and eliminate transmission losses. Projections of market potential are truly enormous, with unrecovered waste heat in industrial processes estimated at half a quintillion (a billion billion) BTUs. The Company believes that if it can capture even a small percentage of this market it would have a strong opportunity to reduce exhaust emissions, assist in lowering energy costs of the manufacturers, while growing the Company and its client base.


Going Concern




10


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders deficit of $4,113,182 and a working capital deficit of $5,547,652 and a net loss of $2,214,854 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $8,789,718 as of December 31, 2017 and used $1,495,470 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.


Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:

 

·

changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in electricity & fuel cost;

·

the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products and solutions;

·

the effects of government and municipality regulations impeding growth;

 

Competition


The competitors with our Clean CycleTM II Generators are Organic Rankine Cycle generator manufacturers such as Turboden, Ormat and some start-ups with fewer installations and some engine competitors aligning with ORC such as Wartsila, Caterpillar, and Cummins. Our product was designed by General Electric International and maintains its history and association with a major brand, however Clean CycleTM II is currently branded under CETY an entrepreneurial company with a proven product and technology. Our product is distinguished from its competitors by its magnetic bearing turbine technology offering lower maintenance and higher efficiency of 12% for under 500kW applications with low to medium temperature requirements. We have more than 1,000,000 fleet operating hours and 8 years of history in the field.


Employees

 

We presently have approximately 10 employees, including production, program management, materials management, engineering, sales, quality, and administrative and management personnel. We have never experienced work stoppages and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. 

 

Government Regulation

 

Our operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. We believe we operate in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements. Material cost may rise due to additional manufacturing cost of raw or made parts with the application of new regulations. Our liabilities may also increase due to additional regulations imposed by foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. In addition, our past, current and future operations and those of businesses we acquire, may give rise to claims of exposure by employees or the public or to other claims or liabilities relating to environmental, waste management or health and safety concerns.

 

Our markets can be positively or negatively impacted by the effects of governmental and regulatory matters. We are affected not only by energy policy, laws, regulations and incentives of governments in the markets into which we sell, but also by rules, regulations and costs imposed by utilities. Utility companies or governmental entities could place barriers on the installation of our product or the interconnection of the product with the electric grid. Further, utility companies may charge additional fees to customers who install on-site power generation, thereby reducing the electricity they take from the utility, or for having the capacity to use power from the grid for back-up or standby purposes. These types of restrictions, fees or charges could hamper the ability to install or effectively use our products or increase the cost to our potential customers for using our systems in the future. This could make our systems less desirable, thereby adversely affecting our revenue and profitability potential. In addition, utility rate reductions can make our products less competitive which would have a material adverse effect on our future



11


operations. These costs, incentives and rules are not always the same as those faced by technologies with which we compete. However, rules, regulations, laws and incentives could also provide an advantage to our Heat Recovery Solutions as compared with competing technologies if we are able to achieve required compliance at a lower cost when our Clean Cycle TM generators are commercialized. Additionally, reduced emissions and higher fuel efficiency could help our future customers combat the effects of global warming. Accordingly, we may benefit from increased government regulations that impose tighter emission and fuel efficiency standards.


 Research and Development

 

We had no expenses in Research and Development costs during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Item 1a.  Risk Factors.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. We reserve the right not to provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:


RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

 

OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND/OR REDUCE OUR OPERATING COSTS SUFFICIENTLY, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS AND MAY ULTIMATELY CEASE TO EXIST.


Going Concern


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders deficit of $4,113,182 and a working capital deficit of $5,547,652 and a net loss of $2,214,854 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $8,789,718 as of December 31, 2017 and used $1,495,470 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.



WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES; THEREFORE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING NEEDED FOR WORKING CAPITAL, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had current liabilities of $6,888,698. Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.

 

We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with covenants in our revolving lines of credit, we will be in



12


default. We are currently in default on the payment of the purchase price pursuant to our asset purchase agreement with General Electric International due to a combination of our inability to raise sufficient capital as expected and our belief that we are entitled to a reduction in purchase price we paid. We are in the process of negotiations with General Electric International. We are currently in default with our notes payable to Cybernaut Zfounder Ventures.

We are in discussions with both General Electric International and Cybernaut Zfounder Ventures.

 

IF DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT THE COMPANY OFFERS SLOWS, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE MATERIALLY AFFECTED.


Demand for products which it intends to sell depends on many factors, including:


 

 

the economy, and in periods of rapidly declining economic conditions, customers may defer purchases or may choose alternate products;


the cost of oil, gas and solar energy;

 




 

 

the competitive environment in the heat to power sectors may force us to reduce prices below our desired pricing level or increase promotional spending;







our ability to maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of the products and services; and,




All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the products and services that we offer, which could adversely affect our sales, cash flows and overall financial condition.



WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR SALES, OPERATING PROFITS, OR BOTH.

 

The Energy Efficiency market is large, competitive and diverse, and is serviced by many companies, whereby we compete with numerous domestic and foreign firms. 

 

WE MAY LOSE OUT TO LARGER AND BETTER-ESTABLISHED COMPETITORS.

 

The alternative power industry is intensely competitive. Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources as well as greater experience in the industry than we have. Our products may not be competitive with other technologies, both existing at the current time and in the future. If this happens, our sales and revenues will decline, or fail to develop at all. In addition, our current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships with larger companies to gain access to greater development or marketing resources. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.


OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE DISPLACED BY NEWER TECHNOLOGY.


The alternative power industry is undergoing rapid and significant technological change. Third parties may succeed in developing or marketing technologies and products that are more effective than those developed or marketed by us, or that would make our technology obsolete or non-competitive. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond quickly to technological changes. We may not have the resources to do this.

 

WE MUST HIRE QUALIFIED ENGINEERING, DEVELOPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PERSONNEL.

 

We cannot be certain that we can attract or retain a sufficient number of highly qualified mechanical engineers, industrial technology and manufacturing process developers and professional services personnel. To deploy our products quickly and efficiently, and effectively maintain and enhance them, we will require an increasing number of technology developers. We expect customers that license our technology will typically engage our professional engineering staff to assist with support, training, consulting and implementation. We believe that growth in sales



13


depends on our ability to provide our customers with these services and to attract and educate third-party consultants to provide similar services. As a result, we plan to hire professional services personnel to meet these needs. New technical and professional services personnel will require training and education and it will take time for them to reach full productivity. To meet our needs for engineers and professional services personnel, we also may use costlier third-party contractors and consultants to supplement our own staff. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, particularly because our technology is specialized and only a limited number of individuals have acquired the needed skills. Additionally, we will rely on third-party implementation providers for these services. Our business may be harmed if we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with third-party implementation providers.


WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF REQUIRED COMPONENTS.   IN ADDITION, WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS TO PROCURE OUR PARTS FOR PRODUCTION WHICH IF AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS BECOMES COMPROMISED IT COULD ADD TO OUR COST OF GOODS SOLD AND AFFECT OUR REVENUE GROWTH.

 

At various times, there have been shortages of some of the components that we use, as a result of strong demand for those components or problems experienced by suppliers. These unanticipated component shortages have resulted in curtailed production or delays in production, which prevented us from making scheduled shipments to customers in the past and may do so in the future. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in our sales and an increase in our costs and could adversely affect our relationship with existing customers as well as prospective customers. Component shortages may also increase our cost of goods sold because we may be required to pay higher prices for components in short supply and redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate substitute components.

 

OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, IN THE AGGREGATE, BENEFICIALLY OWN MORE THAN 50% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND THESE SHAREHOLDERS, IF ACTING TOGETHER, WILL BE ABLE TO EXERT SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER ALL MATTERS REQUIRING APPROVAL OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

 

Our principal shareholders, directors and executive officers in the aggregate, beneficially own more than 50% our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, fundamental corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, the sale of the company, and other matters involving the direction of our business and affairs and specifically the ability to determine the members of our board of directors. (See Principal Shareholders).   

 

THE MAJORITY OF OUR SALES COME FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH WHOM WE DO NOT HAVE LONG TERM CONTRACTS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.

 

Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 74% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.


We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 360 days.

 

IF WE LOSE KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. FURTHER, WE WILL NEED TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL SKILLED MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DO SO, OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO GROW COULD BE HARMED.



14


 

Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our executive officers. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of any of our executive officers. In order to manage our growth, we will need to recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to continue to grow could be harmed. Although a number of companies in our industry have implemented workforce reductions, there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees.

 

WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS AND UNEXPECTED COSTS THAT WE MAY INCUR WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL LOSS CONTINGENCIES, THE QUANTIFICATION OF WHICH CANNOT BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances in the ordinary course of our manufacturing process.  If more stringent compliance or cleanup standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or the results of future testing and analyses at our current or former operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for the release of hazardous substances, we may be subject to additional remediation liability. Further, additional environmental matters may arise in the future at sites where no problem is currently known or at sites that we may acquire in the future. Currently unexpected costs that we may incur with respect to environmental matters may result in additional loss contingencies, the quantification of which cannot be determined at this time.



RISKS ABOUT OUR STOCK

 

SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RESTRICTIONS WHICH CREATES A LACK OF LIQUIDITY AND MAKE TRADING DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE.

 

Our shares of common stock are traded in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the OTC Markets. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.

 

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks (generally) are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:

 

·         Deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC;

·         Provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

·         Explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

·         Provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account;

·         Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser; and

·         Provide a written agreement to the transaction.

 

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares.

 

OUR SECURITIES ARE THINLY TRADED WHICH DOES NOT PROVIDE LIQUIDITY FOR OUR INVESTORS.

 

Our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Markets as a Pink Sheet SEC Reporting Company. The OTC Markets is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the OTC Markets are usually thinly traded,



15


highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The Securities and Exchange Commission's order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.

 

Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade over-the-counter bulletin board securities. As a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times that you may wish. Furthermore, when investors place market orders to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.


THE MARKET PRICE AND TRADING VOLUME OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE.

 

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including for reasons unrelated to our specific performance, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions, or negative announcements by customers, or competitors regarding their own performance, as well as general economic and industry conditions.  In addition, when the market price of a companys shares drops significantly, stockholders could institute securities class action lawsuits against the company. A lawsuit against us could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources.

 

IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

 

As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds. Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and may require attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountants. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants.


COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC regulations, have significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

 

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE; THEREFORE, YOU MAY NEVER SEE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT.

 

We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any profits from our operations will be devoted to our future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available and other factors.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read this section together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 


 Going Concern


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders deficit of $4,113,182 and a working capital deficit of $5,547,652 and a net loss of $2,214,854 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $8,789,718 as of December 31, 2017 and used $1,495,470 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.


Summary of Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a net loss of $2,214,854 compared to a net loss of $1,699,726 for the same period in 2016. The increase in the net loss in 2017 was mainly due to the Interest expense of 444,612 and financing fees of $708,714 associated with the convertible debt and lines of credit.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, our revenue was $957,633 compared to $2,047,333 for the same period in 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our cost of goods sold was 57% compared to 63% for the same period in 2016, mainly due to the decrease material cost and higher efficiency as a percent of sales.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, our gross margin was 43% compared to 37% for the same period in 2016.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, our operating expense was $1,616,735 compared to $2,041,117 for the same period in 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a net loss from operations of $1,203,854 compared to $1,276,795 for the same period in 2016. Our total stockholders equity decreased by $1,844,928 resulting in shareholder deficit of $4,113,182 as of December 31, 2017.  As of December 31, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of $5,547,652 compared to working capital deficit of $3,307,374 as of December 31,2016.


 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We maintain the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.

 



20


Accounts Receivable


We grant credit to our customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.  Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000.  Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 97% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2017. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.


Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $250,000. 


Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  We follow the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $5,000.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:

 

                Furniture and fixtures                                                       3 to 7 years

                Equipment                                                                         7 to 10 years

                Leasehold improvements                                                  2 years (life of the lease)

 

Long Lived Assets

 

Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. We have not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.



21


 

Net Profit/(Loss) per Common Share 


Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  At December 31, 2017, we had outstanding common shares of 210,881,122 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 200,560,377 and 142,572,730, respectively.  As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 750,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 2,618,818 additional common shares. In addition, we had convertible notes, convertible into 43,376,000 of additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive. 

                

 Research and Development

 

We have suspended all research and development to focus on the expansion of our existing product line.

 

We had no expenses in Research and Development costs during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016

 


Net Sales 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, our revenue was $957,633 compared to $2,047,333 for the same period in 2016.  Our revenue decreased mainly due to the transitional period while raising capital to fund the new business and establishing a new sales strategy for newly acquired HRS assets.


Gross Profit 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, our gross profits increased to 43% from 37% for the same period in 2016. Our gross profits could vary from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component availability and costs, pricing, competition, customer requirements and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges and potential scrap of materials


Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2017, our net loss from operations was $1,203,854 compared to net loss from operations of $1,276,795 for the same period in 2016. This decrease, was primarily due to the overall reduction in the operating expenses.

Gain (Loss) on derivative liability

On June 6, 2016, we entered into a one-year convertible note payable for $87,500, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  It is not convertible until six months after its issuance and has a conversion rate of fifty-five percent (55%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of our common stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As a result we recognized a net gain on derivative liability in the amount of $2,576.

On March 11, 2016, we entered into a three-year convertible note payable in the initial face amount of $75,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 1.46% per annum.  It was not convertible until six months after its issuance and has a conversion rate of sixty five percent (65%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of common stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion.  On September 15, 2016 we issued shares at a price of $.006 per share for a partial conversion of this note in the amount of $15,000.  Subsequently, on November 1, 2016 the Company exercised its right to redeem the note, assigned its redemption right to a third-party investor, agreed to amend the conversion price of a replacement note to $.005 per share, and that investor now holds the replacement note in the principal amount of $84,000.  As a result we recognized a loss on beneficial conversion feature of $52,621.

On May 5, 2017 we entered into a six-month convertible note payable for $78,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  It is not convertible until six months after its issuance and has a conversion rate of sixty-one percent (61%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of our common stock for the fifteen (15) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

percent (55%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of our common stock for the twenty-five (25) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion.


Financing Fees

For the year ended December 31, 2017 our financing fees expense was $708,712 compared to $122,397 for the same period in 2016, due to the issuance of convertible notes and the related conversions.


Gain on Warranty Liability

For the year ended December 31, 2016 we recognized a gain on our warranty liability in the amount of $141,611

There was no change in our warranty liability for the year ended December 31, 2017.


Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2017 interest expense was $444,612 compared to $318,133 for the same period in 2016.


Net Income / Loss

For the year ended December 31, 2017, our net loss was $2,214,854 compared to net loss of $1,699,726 for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the financing fees.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.


We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other



24


assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.


Future Financing


We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangement

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.


Contractual Obligations


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


Consideration of the Companys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Notes 1- GENERAL


Business Overview

We design, build, and market clean energy products focused on energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable technologies and we perform electronics manufacturing services for Heat recovery Solutions and third parties.  Our principal products are based upon the Clean Cycle heat recovery system, offered by our wholly owned subsidiary Clean Energy HRS LLC DBA Heat Recovery Solutions.  Our Clean Cycle captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity that users can use, store, or export, such as to an external or utility power grid.  The proven, cutting-edge Clean Cycle technology allows commercial and industrial heat generators or sources to boost their overall energy efficiency with no additional fuel, no pollutants, and virtually no maintenance.  The engineering and manufacturing resources from our electronics manufacturing services business support our heat recovery solutions business.  We intend also to leverage these capabilities to identify and exploit other clean energy technologies and opportunities.

The Clean Cycle heat recovery solution is an Organic Rankine Cycle, or ORC, system.  An ORC system is a closed-loop heat recovery steam generator system, sometimes referred to as an HRS or an HRSG, that utilizes heat from a heat source, such as an existing power generation system, to heat a fluid to produce steam.  The steam then passes through a turbine generator, and turbine generator converts the kinetic energy in the steam to produce electrical energy, which can be used, stored, or exported.  The ORC cycle then recycles and further cools the fluid medium to again use heat from the external heat source to continue the power-generation cycle.  

The technology at the heart of the Clean Cycle is a magnetic levitation bearing generator, which requires no oil or other lubricants and has no gear box.  The turbine generator and related power management electronics are what convert the kinetic energy in the steam cycle into electrical energy.  There are over 100 Clean Cycle HRS units installed globally with more than one million fleet operating hours in diesel, gas, and biomass applications. 

The magnetic levitation bearing generator technology was originally developed by Calnetix, Inc.  General Electric International, Inc. acquired the rights to the technology in certain applications from Calnetix in 2010.  In September 2015, our CE HRS subsidiary acquired General Electrics rights to the technology in those applications, together with General Electrics related HRS technology and improvements, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with General Electric International, Inc. and General Electric Company that was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8K dated September 11, 2015 and a concurrent Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement with ETI Partners IV, LLC.  CE HRS made an initial purchase price payment of $300,000 at closing and issued a three-year $1.2 million promissory note to GEII with respect to payment of the balance of the cash portion of the purchase price.  CE HRS also assumed certain liabilities of GEII related to the acquired assets.  In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type.  Pursuant to the companion Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement facilitating our acquisition of the GE HRS assets, we issued 100,910,321 restricted shares of our common stock to ETI Partners IV, LLC (representing approximately 70% of the post-acquisition outstanding common stock).  Concurrently, we entered into a Loan, Guarantee, and Collateral Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with ETI Partners IV, LLC to provide a framework for further financing in the Company.  

Pursuant to our license agreement with Calnetix (which General Electric assigned to us in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement), we market and sell our Clean Cycle products world-wide to ORC-based application where heat is sourced from reciprocating combustion engines, of any type (other than those employed on transiting marine vessels), gas or steam turbine systems used for power generation, and biomass boiler systems.  Our rights in these applications are exclusive.  We also market our Clean Cycle products world-wide on a non-exclusive basis in the following applications, whether or not ORC-based:  reciprocating combustion engines, of any type (except those employed on transiting marine vessels or in the automotive application for cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles); gas or steam turbine systems with an ISO rated power output above one megawatt (1 MW); and applications that use biomass as a source of heat.  We have also periodically negotiated to obtain additional non-exclusive marketing rights to the technology from Calnetix as commercial opportunities have arisen that are not in conflict with other licensees of Calnetix.  



34


Our growth strategy is to scale up our business by focusing on the significant installed base of power generation and biomass boiler systems ideally suited to ORC-based heat recovery systems, exploiting market segments and regions where there are significantly high electricity prices, and identifying and exploiting incentive markets as they are available.  We sell equipment and complete heat recovery systems globally directly to end customers and also through distributors.  We also commercialize our heat recovery systems through lease and energy-based programs where appropriate.   We are also developing technology co-ventures with owners of compatible power generation technology to develop integrated energy production systems to exploit additional potential customers.

The GE HRS asset acquisition and related financing transactions resulted in a change of control of the Company according to FASB No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805).  As a result, the transactions qualify as a business combination.  In accordance with Topic 805, the Company elected to apply pushdown accounting, using the valuation date of December 31, 2015.  As a result we recognized $747,976 in goodwill.

Following completion of the acquisition and integration of the GE HRS into our business, on November 13, 2015 we changed our name to Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the focus of our new business and business strategies.


Going Concern


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders deficit of $4,113,182 and a working capital deficit of $5,547,652 and a net loss of $2,214,854 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $8,789,718 as of December 31, 2017 and used $1,495,470 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.



Plan of Operation

Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) pursuing increased sales through existing global distribution channels and utilization of direct sales, integrators, and engineering firms; (ii) pursuing lease and energy-based contracts with customers, including targeted island or isolated locations where the economics, energy production, and emissions reduction profiles are attractive; (iii) pursuing stable and higher-margin electronics manufacturing services contracts where the terms are favorable to the Company; (iv) arranging financing partnerships and relationships to facilitate increased lease and energy-based commercialization of our HRS products; (v) leveraging core competencies to acquire or integrate other technologies and entertain equity opportunities; and (vi) pursuing licenses of our patented technology and proprietary processes and developing cogeneration and OEM opportunities.

Our future success is likely dependent on our ability to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.   

Our Products and Services



36


Our main product, the Clean Cycle HRS system, converts heat from variety of heat sources into clean, affordable electricity. Our heat recovery solution system generates electricity from heat with zero additional fuel required, zero additional emissions produced, and low maintenance.  The Clean Cycle HRS system is also re-deployable with continuous 24x7 operation.

Sales and Marketing

Our marketing approach is to position the Company, our products and our services under our new Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. and CETY identity and brand.  We intend to market our Heat Recovery Solutions products specifically using the market-recognized Clean Cycle brand name.  We also intend to utilize our relationships to identify new market segments and regions in which we can expand the commercialization of our products.  We intend to offer our products for sale and also to commercialize them under leases, energy-based contracts and other financing structures to accelerate customer adoption and increase market penetration.  We also intend to explore licensing opportunities for our patented and other proprietary technologies. We utilize both direct sales force and global distributors with expertise in clean energy.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We maintain the majority of our cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

We grant credit to our customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.  Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000.  Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 96% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2017. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We



37


make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $250,000. 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:

 

                Furniture and fixtures                                                          3 to 7 years

                Equipment                                                                           7 to 10 years

Long Lived Assets

Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. We have not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.

The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Other Comprehensive Income

We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.

Net Profit (Loss) per Common Share   


Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  At December 31, 2017, we had outstanding common shares of 210,881,122 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 200,560,377 and 59,583,060, respectively.  As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 750,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 2,618,818 additional common shares. In addition, we had convertible notes, convertible into 43,376,000 of additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive. 

Research and Development

We had no amounts of research and development R&D expense during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. 

Segment Disclosure     

FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprises reportable segments.  The Company has two reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS) and the legacy electronic manufacturing services division. The segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery



38


channels and similar economic characteristics. Refer to note 1 for a description of the various product categories manufactured under each of these segments. Prior to March 31, 2016 we only had one reporting segment.

An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, other charges (income), net and interest and other, net.

Share-Based Compensation  

The Company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in



39


Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however, the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the risk-free interest rate, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90-day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the Company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20-trading-day average. At the time of grant, the share-based compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.

We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and, if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share-based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the awardthe requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 we had $2460 and $113,347 respectively, in share-based expense, due to the issuance of common stock.  As of December 31, 2017, we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized. 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2017, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(4,026,145) and a deferred tax asset of $845,490 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years.  However, due to the uncertainty of future events we have booked valuation allowance of $(845,490).  FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  At December 31, 2017 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

Subsequently, on February 13, 2018, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Registrant or Corporation) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (Stock Purchase Agreement) by and between MGW Investment I Limited (MGWI) and the Corporation. The Corporation will receive $907,388 in exchange for



40


the issuance of 302,462,667 restricted shares of the Corporations common stock, par value $.001 per share (the Common Stock).


On February 13, 2018 the Corporation and Confections Ventures Limited. (CVL) entered into a Convertible Note  Purchase Agreement (the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, together with the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the Financing) pursuant to which the Corporation issued to CVL  a convertible promissory Note (the CVL Note)  in the principal amount of $939,500 with an interest rate of 10% per annum interest rate and a maturity date of February 13, 2020. The CVL Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at $0.003 per share, as adjusted as provided therein.

This resulted in a change in control, which limited the net operating to that date forward.  

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and the states of California and Utah. Further, the Company currently has no open tax years subject to audit prior to December 31, 2013.  The Company is current on its federal and state tax returns.

As a result of the acquisition, Trident has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill.  On January 2, 2016 we closed the Trident facility in Utah and as for the year ended December 31, 2015 we booked an impairment of the goodwill in the amount of $420,673.

Convertible notes

On March 15, 2016, we entered into a three-year convertible note payable in the initial face amount of $75,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 1.46% per annum.  It was not convertible until six months after its issuance and has a conversion rate of sixty five percent (65%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of common stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion.  On September 15, 2016 we issued shares at a price of $.006 per share for a partial conversion of this note in the amount of $15,000.  On November 1, 2016 the Company exercised its right to redeem the note, assigned its redemption right to a third-party investor, agreed to amend the conversion price of a replacement note to $.005 per share, and that investor now holds the replacement note in the principal amount of $84,000.

Common Stock  

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2017 there were 210,881,122 shares of common stock outstanding.  All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the common stock to be issued will be, fully paid and non-assessable.  Each share of our common stock has identical rights and privileges in every respect. The holders of our common stock are entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders and are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. There are no cumulative voting rights.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends and other distributions that our Board of Directors may declare from time to time out of funds legally available for that purpose, if any, after the satisfaction of any prior rights and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of common stock shares will be entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and our obligations to holders of our outstanding preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.  Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.

Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.

We previously authorized 440 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 20,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and 15,000 shares Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  As of August 20, 2006, all series A, B, and C preferred had been converted into common stock.

Effective August 7, 2013, our Board of Directors designated a series of our preferred stock as Series D Preferred Stock, authorizing 15,000 shares.  Our Series D Preferred Stock offering terms authorized us to raise up to $1,000,000 with an over-allotment of $500,000 in multiple closings over the course of six months.  We received an aggregate of $750,000 in financing in subscription for Series D Preferred Stock, or 7,500 shares.  

The following are primary terms of the Series D Preferred Stock.  The Series D Preferred holders were initially entitled to be paid a special monthly divided at the rate of 17.5% per annum.  Initially, the Series D Preferred Stock was also entitled to be paid special dividends in the event cash dividends were not paid when scheduled.  If the Company does not pay the dividend within five (5) business days from the end of the calendar month for which the payment of such dividend to owed, the Company will pay the investor a special dividend of an additional 3.5%. Any unpaid or accrued special dividends will be paid upon a liquidation or redemption.  For any other dividends or distributions, the Series D Preferred Stock participates with common stock on an as-converted basis.  The Series D Preferred holders may elect to convert the Series D Preferred Stock, in their sole discretion, at any time after a one year (1) year holding period, by sending the Company a notice to convert.  The conversion rate is equal to the greater of $0.08 or a 20% discount to the average of the three (3) lowest closing market prices of the common stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to conversion.  The Series D Preferred Stock is redeemable from funds legally available for distribution at the option of the individual holders of the Series D Preferred Stock commencing any time after the one (1) year period from the offering closing at a price equal to the initial purchase price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, provided, that if the Company gave notice to the investors that it was not in a financial position to redeem the Series D Preferred, the Company and the Series D Preferred holders are obligated to negotiate in good faith for an extension of the redemption period.  The Company timely notified the investors that it was not in a financial position to redeem the Series D Preferred and the Company and the investors have engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine an appropriate extension period.  The Company may elect to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock any time at a price equal to initial purchase price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, subject to the investors right to convert, by providing written notice about its intent to redeem.  Each investor has the right to convert the Series D Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to such redemption by the Company.

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

We have no standing committees of our Board of Directors at the current time, which is due to the size of our operations. From time to time, our Board of Directors may establish committees it deems appropriate to address specific areas in more depth than may be possible at a full Board of Directors meeting. As our Company grows, we plan to establish an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee.  The functions that these committees will perform are currently being performed by our five-member Board.

 

Director Nomination Procedures and Diversity

 

As outlined above, in selecting a qualified nominee, our Board of Directors considers such factors as it deems appropriate, which may include: the current composition of our Board of Directors; the range of talents of a nominee that would best complement those already represented on our Board of Directors; the extent to which a nominee would diversify our Board of Directors; a nominees standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominees ability to represent the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole; a nominees relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management; a nominee who is accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; and the need for specialized expertise. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. Applying these criteria, our Board of Directors considers candidates for membership on our Board of Directors suggested by its members, as well as by our Shareholders. Members of our Board of Directors annually review our Board of Directors composition by evaluating whether our Board of Directors has the right mix of skills, experience and backgrounds.


Our Board of Directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.

 

Our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to nominate a member for re-election, our Board of Directors will review the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above.

 

Our Board of Directors also considers nominees for our Board of Directors recommended by Shareholders. Notice of proposed stockholder nominations for our Board of Directors must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

We currently use equity-based compensation to compensate our directors due to our restricted cash flow position; however, we may in the future provide cash compensation to our directors.

1)    

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Mahdi for 2 years with an annual salary of $275,000 In 2017 Mr. Mahdi was paid down total of $38,461 from the past due balance of unpaid salary from 2016 with remaining outstanding balance of  $69,884 due to lack of capital.

3)       There were no bonuses paid or accrued for any executives for fiscal years 2017 and 2016.

4)       Mr. Bennett was issued an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on February 8, 2007 at $1.73 under our 2006 Plan and an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at $.33 per share on February 28, 2008.  Both option grants expired on February 08, 2017. 

 


Outstanding Equity Awards at 2017 Fiscal Year-End

       

 There are no outstanding options or stock awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2017.


 (1) Mr. Bennett was issued an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on February 8, 2007 at $1.73 under our 2006 Plan and an option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock on February 28, 2008.  Both option grants expired on February 08, 2017. 


The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however, the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the risk-free interest rate, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.

 

We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.    For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had $0 in non-vested expense to be recognized.  

 

Executive Employment Agreements

 

On September 1, 2011, the Board approved long-term executive employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, Kambiz Mahdi and Chief Financial Officer John Bennett, for a period of five years from execution, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of their respective agreements. 

 

On October 1, 2015 we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Mahdi for 2 years with an annual salary of $275,000. In addition, Mr. Mahdi will receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Mahdi would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or (1) year, whichever is greater. Mr. Mahdi employment contract expired on October 1, 2017. Mr Mahdi has been continuing to work under the same term and we are negotiating a new contract with Mr. Mahdi.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 


 Director Independence



64


 

We have a five-member Board of Directors. Due to the size of our company and the difficulty in finding directors that have experience in our industry, four of our directors can be deemed an independent directors.

 

While our stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, our independent directors would qualify as independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

 

Review of Related Person Transactions

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides guidance for addressing actual or potential conflicts of interests, including those that may arise from transactions and relationships between us and our executive officers or directors, such as:

 

·

Business transaction between the company and any executive are prohibited, unless otherwise approved by the Board; 

·

Activities that may interfere with an executives performance in carrying out company responsibilities; 

·

Activities that call for the use of the companys influence, resources or facilities; and  

·

Activities that may discredit the name or reputation of the company.          


We have various procedures in place to identify potential related person transactions, and the Board of Directors and a separate compliance committee work together in reviewing and considering whether any identified transactions or relationships are covered by the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 


Transactions with Related Persons




Kambiz Mahdi, our Chief Executive Officer, owns Billet Electronics, which is an independent distributor of electronic components. From time to time we purchase parts from Billet Electronics. In addition Billet was a supplier of parts and had dealings with current and former customers of our company. Our board of directors has approved such transactions of our chief executive officer.


 On August 7, 2013, we held our initial closing of our Series D Preferred Stock private financing offering with two related parties, whereby we received $750,000 in financing. Our Series D Preferred Stock offering terms allow us to raise up to $1,000,000 US with an over-allotment of $500,000 in multiple closings over the course of 6 months.


On June 25th, 2013 we received $500,000 from a related party and issued 5,000 shares of Preferred Series D Preferred stock.


On September 8, 2015 the investors signed an estoppel agreement, whereby the investors agreed to reduce, (effective as of June 30, 2015), the dividend rate on the Series D Preferred Stock to six percent per annum and to terminate the penalty provided for in the IAs in respect of unpaid dividends accruing on or after such date.
