DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

Mission Statement

 

Our goal is to become a leading provider of renewable and energy efficiency products and solutions by helping commercial companies and municipalities eliminate energy waste, reduce emissions, lower cost and generate incremental revenue.

 

Industrial facilities, power plants, high rise buildings and waste to energy plants currently waste heat and energy during their production processes. Our Clean Cycle TM generators are used in commercial and industrial heat generators to boost their overall energy efficiency. Our products save fuel, reduce pollution, require little maintenance and provide an attractive return on investment.

 

Our principal product is the Clean Cycle TM heat generator acquired from General Electric International, offered through our wholly owned subsidiary Heat Recovery Solutions, (HRS).

 

General Business Overview

 

We design, produce and market clean energy products and integrated solutions focused on energy efficiency and renewables. Our initial principal product is the Clean CycleTM heat generator, offered through our wholly owned subsidiary Heat Recovery Solutions, (HRS). The Clean CycleTM generator captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity. By using our Clean CycleTM generator commercial and industrial heat generators boost their overall energy efficiency and the savings created provide our customers with a fast return on their investment. The Clean CycleTM generator saves fuel, reduces pollution and requires little maintenance. We also use our Clean CycleTM generator to manufacture Biomass Power Plants and Co-generation Distribution Power Plants that produce clean energy.

 

 
Clean Cycle II Heat Generator   Containerized Clean Cycle II Heat Generator

 

We compete based on efficiency, maintenance and our customer’s 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 competitor’s turbines which allows our systems to generate more electricity at lower heat ranges. Because our generator is magnetic, it requires far less maintenance 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.

 

  4  
 

 

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.

 

Over 123 Clean CycleTM generators are installed to date with 88 units used in biomass/landfill projects, 4 with diesel electric generators, 3 with turbine electric generators and 26 in industrial electric production applications.

 

We compete based on efficiency, maintenance and our customer’s return on investment. We have a proprietary magnetic bearing technology with several global patents that we acquired from General Electric International. We believe that the magnetic turbine technology is more efficient than our competitor’s turbines which allows our systems to generate more electricity at lower heat ranges. Because our generator is magnetic, it requires less maintenance 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.

 

The Clean CycleTM generator is delivered on a turnkey basis and does not require major planning for design, manufacturing and installation. In addition to attractive returns on capital investment, we believe that the ease of installation distinguishes our Clean Cycle™ generators by significantly reducing installation time, improving delivery times and lowering costs.

 

  5  
 

 

 

A Complete ORC System

 

We estimate that one clean system using our Clean CycleTM generator can generate 1 GWh of electricity per year from waste heat and avoid more than 350 metric tons of CO2 per year which we estimate is the annual equivalent of the CO2 emissions of approximately 200 cars.

 

Company Information

Cety Europe

 

CETY Europe Sales and Service Center is the Sales, warranty and service company for CETY’s Clean Cycle™ Heat Recovery Solutions (HRS) and includes a 24/7 Call Center, support Field Service Personnel, including remote access to the Waste Heat Generators and inventory spare parts to support the currently commissioned 65 Clean CycleTM installations in Europe. The service center also provides support services for new European sales. CETY has identified substantial unmet market needs in many European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, Belarus and the Czech Republic. Cety Europe will sell and distribute the Clean CycleTM Waste Heat Generators and replacement parts from the Clean Energy HRS line of products. The CETY Europe Sales and Service Center will be well suited to handle any warranty and/or service issues, as well as sell and distribute the Clean energy HRS line of products. Cety Europe has 1 employee.

 

Electronic Assembly

 

The Electronic assembly business was our core legacy business until we acquired the Heat Recovery Solutions technology and business assets from GE. We consolidated the Probe Manufacturing (Electronic Assembly), now named Clean Energy Technologies, Inc with the Clean Energy HRS, LLC. in order to support a few legacy electronics assembly customers and support the electronics manufacturing portion of our newly acquired technology from General Electric by Clean Energy HRS, LLC. Although this is not our core focus nor do we intend to grow this segment, we still derive a revenue stream to help offset a portion of the overhead. This segment provides contract manufacturing services of electronic printed circuit board assemblies to customers in the medical and aerospace industries. The services provided are contract in nature and are built the customers specification. They supply the design and component specifications. We purchase the components and solder the components to the bare printed circuit boards.

 

Our customers are legacy customers of Probe Manufacturing and we do not conduct any additional sales or marketing activities in this segment. We have many larger and better funded competitors in the United States and Asia that specialize in circuit board manufacturing and our customers may migrate to these competitors since we do not focus on developing any new products or services for this segment. We do not view this segment as being material to the long term growth of the Company.

Our Products

 

 

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.

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

 

Raw Materials/Suppliers

 

Our products are manufactured primarily from components available from multiple suppliers and to a lesser extend from custom fabricated components available from various sources. We purchase our components from suppliers based on price and availability. Our significant suppliers include Power House, Concise Instrument, and Grainger.

Our market focus is segmented by the engine heat recovery, biomass & Biogas plants, Landfills, Wastewater treatment plants and boiler applications with excess heat.

 

Organic Rankine Cycle systems are commonly used to generate power in geothermal , biomass, waste to energy plants, engine heat recovery and more recently, in pipeline compressor heat recovery applications. In these, and other, ORC applications, electric generation efficiencies range from around 8 percent with waste heat sources at 300 ºF, to around 15 percent with waste heat sources near 800 ºF. There are also different types of turbines utilized in the ORC systems. The Clean Cycle utilizes an integrated power module which runs on magnetic bearings and its hermetically sealed into a single unit, eliminating the need for gear box, lubrication systems and rotating seals and it’s more efficient than screw expanders.

 

Power generation from geothermal brines is the main field of application with 74.8% of all ORC installed capacity in the world, however the total number of plant is relatively low with 337 installations as these applications require large investment and multi-MW plants. As a result, only a few companies (ORMAT, Exergy, TAS and Turboden) have been active in this capital-intensive sector. ORMAT is the indisputable leader in this field with more than 75% of installed capacity and plants, Exergy and TAS are following with around 13% and 6% of the market respectively while Turboden has recently penetrated the geothermal market with about 2% of the installed capacity.

 

Waste heat recovery is an emerging field for ORC with an interesting potential for all unit sizes. All the big players are active on the markets with medium – large size plants recovering heat from gas turbines, internal combustion engines or industrial processes. Most of the other manufacturers are focused on small waste heat recovery applications with products ranging from 10 to 150 kWel. Waste Heat recovery applications cover 13.9% of the total market.

Biomass applications represent a similar share at 11% and a considerable number of plants, Turboden is the main player on this market.

 

A total of approximately 800 ORC units have been installed since 2000. Overall the combined ORC systems are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10% from 2019 to 2023 and the market is expected to grow to approximately $500M, based on a CAGR of 12% from 2019 to 2023.

 

Our ORC Clean CycleTM II was designed by General Electric International and maintains its history and association with a major brand. Our product is distinguished from its competitors by its magnetic bearing turbine technology offering lower maintenance and higher efficiency of 14% 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 12 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. We have one employee that works full time in CETY Europe and 1 full time employee in our Electronics Assembly segment.

 

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.

 

  11  
 

 

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 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, 2018 and 2019.

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 stockholder’s deficit of $5,252,478 and a working capital deficit of $6,785,689 and a net loss of $2,555,983 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $14,215,718 as of December 31, 2019 and used $2,224,168 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

 

  12  
 

 

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, 2019, we had current liabilities of $8,929,141. 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 default.

 

WE ARE IN DEFAULT IN OUR OBLIGATIONS TO OUR MAJOR CREDITORS

 

We are currently in default on the payment of $1,200,000 . This is the balance 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 as reflected in the principal amount of the outstanding note. In addition, we are in default in the amount of $972,233 in accrued transitional fees, we may use some of the proceeds to settle this obligation.

 

We are also in default of $187,285 payments of principal and interest on our notes payable to Cybernaut Zfounder Ventures.

 

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

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by public health epidemics, including the coronavirus or COVID-19.

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if a public health epidemic, including the coronavirus or COVID-19 interferes with the ability of us, our employees, workers, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners to perform our and their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. We maintain offices in HaiXi with employees and workers upon whom we rely to, among other things, identify sources of supply in China, conduct factory inspections, place orders for merchandise, perform factory monitoring with respect to production, quality control and other requirements, and arrange shipping. A public health epidemic, including the coronavirus, poses the risk that we or our employees, workers, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We face similar risks if a public health epidemic, including the coronavirus, affects other geographic areas where our employees, workers, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners are located.

 

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.

 

  13  
 

 

WE OPERATE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET. IF WE DO NOT COMPETE EFFECTIVELY, OUR PROSPECTS, OPERATING RESULTS, AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

 

The markets for our products and services are highly competitive, with companies offering a variety of competitive products and services. We expect competition in our markets to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new or enhanced products and services that are potentially more competitive than our products and services. We believe many of our competitors and potential competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, ability to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products and services, larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a larger number of suppliers, contract manufacturers, and channel partners, greater brand recognition, and greater financial, research and development, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we do and the ability to offer financing for projects. Our competitors and potential competitors may also be able to develop products or services that are equal or superior to ours, achieve greater market acceptance of their products and services, and increase sales by utilizing different distribution channels than we do. Some of our competitors may aggressively discount their products and services in order to gain market share, which could result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, lost market share, or a failure to grow market share for us. If we are not able to compete effectively against our current or potential competitors, our prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

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 INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS SUBJECT US TO RISKS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

Our international operations are exposed to the following risks, several of which are out of our control:

political and economic instability, international terrorism and anti-American sentiment, particularly in emerging markets;

 

  preference for locally branded products, and laws and business practices favoring local competition;
  unusual or burdensome foreign laws or regulations, and unexpected changes to those laws or regulations;
  |import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other barriers;
  costs of customizing products for foreign countries;
  increased difficulty in managing inventory;
  less effective protection of intellectual property; and
  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations.

 

Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our ability to execute any geographic expansion strategies or have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

  14  
 

 

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 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 “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Managements”).

 

  15  
 

 

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.

 

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.

 

OUR SALES AND CONTRACT FULFILLMENT CYCLES CAN BE LONG, UNPREDICTABLE AND VARY SEASONALLY, WHICH CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VARIATION IN REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY IN A PARTICULAR QUARTER.

 

The timing of our sales and related customer contract fulfillment is difficult to predict. Many of our customers are large enterprises, whose purchasing decisions, budget cycles and constraints and evaluation processes are unpredictable and out of our control. Further, the timing of our sales is difficult to predict. The length of our sales cycle, from initial evaluation to payment for our products and services, can range from several months to well over a year and can vary substantially from customer to customer. Our sales efforts involve significant investment in resources in field sales, marketing and educating our customers about the use, technical capabilities and benefits of our products and services. Customers often undertake a prolonged evaluation process. As a result, it is difficult to predict exactly when, or even if, we will make a sale to a potential customer or if we can increase sales to our existing customers. Large individual sales have, in some cases, occurred in quarters subsequent to those we anticipated, or have not occurred at all. In addition, the fulfillment of our customer contracts is partially dependent on other factors related to our customers’ businesses that are not in our control. as with the sales cycle, this can also cause revenues and earnings to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. If our sales and/or contract fulfillment cycles lengthen or our substantial upfront investments do not result in sufficient revenue to justify our investments, our operating results could be adversely affected.

 

We have experienced seasonal and end-of-quarter concentration of our transactions and variations in the number and size of transactions that close in a particular quarter, which impacts our ability to grow revenue over the long term and plan and manage cash flows and other aspects of our business and cost structure. Our transactions vary by quarter, with the fourth quarter typically being our largest. If expectations for our business turn out to be inaccurate, our revenue growth may be adversely affected over time and we may not be able to adjust our cost structure on a timely basis and our cash flows may suffer.

 

  16  
 

 

OUR OPERATING MARGINS MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF INCREASING PRODUCT COSTS.

 

Our business is subject to significant pressure on pricing and costs caused by many factors, including competition, the cost of components used in our products, labor costs, constrained sourcing capacity, inflationary pressure, pressure from customers to reduce the prices we charge for our products and services, and changes in consumer demand. Costs for the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are affected by, among other things, energy prices, consumer demand, fluctuations in commodity prices and currency, and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. Increases in the cost of raw materials used to manufacture our products or in the cost of labor and other costs of doing business in the United States and internationally could have an adverse effect on, among other things, the cost of our products, gross margins, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIRED TO GROW OUR BUSINESS, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE CAPITAL ON TERMS ACCEPTABLE TO US OR AT ALL.

 

Growing and operating our business will require significant cash outlays and capital expenditures and commitments. We have utilized cash on hand and cash generated from operations as sources of liquidity. If cash on hand and cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through equity or debt financing, to fund our growth. Our ability to access the credit and capital markets in the future as a source of liquidity, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, are dependent upon market conditions.

 

In addition, any equity securities we issue, including any preferred stock, may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the offering price per share of our Common Stock. The holders of any equity securities we issue, including any preferred stock, may also have rights, preferences or privileges which are senior to those of existing holders of Common Stock. If new sources of financing are required, but are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, if any, which would harm our ability to grow our business.

 

NATURAL DISASTERS AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

 

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as fires, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes; geo-political events, such as civil unrest in a country in which our suppliers are located or terrorist or military activities disrupting transportation, communication or utility systems; or other highly disruptive events, such as nuclear accidents, pandemics, unusual weather conditions or cyber-attacks, could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. Such events could result, among other things, in operational disruptions, physical damage to or destruction or disruption of one or more of our properties or properties used by third parties in connection with the supply of products or services to us, the lack of an adequate workforce in parts or all of our operations and communications and transportation disruptions. These factors could also cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the United States and global financial markets and economy. Such occurrences could have a material adverse effect on us and could also have indirect consequences such as increases in the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage.

 

WE HAVE ISSUED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES WHICH IF CONVERTED WILL SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTE ALL OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

 

We have issued a substantial amount of convertible securities which, if converted, would result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. As of the date of this Offing Circular we have outstanding the convertible notes, warrants and preferred stock as set forth below:

 

Convertible Notes - and Approximate common share equivalents     448,006,839  
Convertible Preferred series D and approximate common share equivalents     11,776,500  
Warrants a and Common Stock equivalent’s     174,250,000  
Total Convertible Common Stock equivalents     634,033,339  

 

MGW Investments I Limited (“MGWI”) holds two notes, the interest and principal of which may be converted into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $.003 per share which, at the time of this filing, equal approximately 59,700,333 shares and 360,141,667 shares respectively, or an aggregate of 419,842,000 shares. In addition, MGWI holds a warrant to purchase 168,000,000 shares of our common stock. Calvin Pang, our director, is a beneficial owner of the securities held by MGWI. We have also issued warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of our common stock to other investors and convertible notes to other investors convertible into an additional 28,164,839 shares.

 

  17  
 

 

OUR ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL CAPITAL STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH FINANCINGS, ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS, OUR EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS, OR OTHERWISE WILL DILUTE ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.

 

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our equity incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies, and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock to decline.

 

WE MAY MAKE ACQUISITIONS THAT ARE DILUTIVE TO EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS. IN ADDITION, OUR LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN ACQUIRING OTHER BUSINESSES, PRODUCT LINES AND TECHNOLOGIES MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACQUISITIONS WE MAY UNDERTAKE.

 

We intend to evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they arise, including business combinations, strategic partnerships, and the purchase, licensing or sale of assets. In connection with any such future transaction, we could issue dilutive equity securities, incur substantial debt, reduce our cash reserves or assume contingent liabilities.

 

Our experience in acquiring other businesses, product lines and technologies is limited. Our inability to overcome problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions could divert the attention of management, utilize scarce corporate resources and otherwise harm our business. Any potential future acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:

 

  problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies or products;
  costs associated with the acquisition;
  adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
  risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
  potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations; and
  potential litigation arising from the acquired company’s operations before the acquisition.

 

Furthermore, acquisitions may require material charges and could result in adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, deferred compensation charges, in-process research and development charges, the amortization of amounts related to deferred compensation and identifiable purchased intangible assets or impairment of goodwill, any of which could negatively affect our results of operations.

 

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT LAWS AND REGULATIONS PARTICULAR TO OUR OPERATIONS WITH WHICH WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLY.

 

We may not be able to comply with all current and future government regulations which are applicable to our business. Our business operations are subject to all government regulations normally incident to conducting business (e.g., occupational safety and health acts, workmen’s compensation statutes, unemployment insurance legislation, income tax, and social security laws and regulations, environmental laws and regulations, consumer safety laws and regulations, etc.) as well as to governmental laws and regulations applicable to small public companies and their capital formation efforts. Although we will make every effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we can provide no assurance of our ability to do so, nor can we predict the effect of those regulations on our proposed business activities. Our failure to comply with material regulatory requirements would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and could result in our cessation of active business operations.

 

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 created uncertainty for public companies and 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.

 

  18  
 

 

OUR REVENUE GROWTH RATE DEPENDS PRIMARILY ON OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

 

We may not be able to identify and maintain the necessary relationships within our industry. Our ability to execute our business plan also depends on other factors, including the ability to:

 

1. Negotiate and maintain contracts and agreements with acceptable terms;

2. Hire and train qualified personnel;

3. Maintain marketing and development costs at affordable rates; and,

4. Maintain an affordable labor force.

 

OUR OPERATING RESULTS AND SHARE PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AFTER THIS OFFERING MAY DROP BELOW THE PRICE YOU PAY.

 

Our quarterly operating results have in the past fluctuated and are likely to do so in the future. As a result, the trading price of the shares of our common stock following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Offering Circular, these factors include:

 

  the success of competitive products or technologies;
  actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
  announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;
  regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;

 

  19  
 

 

  the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
  the level of expenses;
  changes in our backlog in a given period;
  actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;
  variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;
  fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
  inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
  announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;
  sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders;
  market conditions in the clean energy sector; and
  general economic, industry and market conditions.

 

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our shares to fluctuate substantially. While we believe that operating results for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, the stock market in general, and companies in our markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The realization of any of these risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the shares of our common stock.

 

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO SECURITIES LITIGATION, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AND COULD DIVERT MANAGEMENT ATTENTION.

 

The market price of the shares of our common stock may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

None.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at 2990 Redhill Unit A, Costa Mesa, CA. On March 10, 2016, the Company signed a lease agreement for a 18,200-square foot CTU Industrial Building. Lease term is seven years and two months beginning July 1, 2017. In October of 2018 we signed a sublease agreement with our facility in Italy with an indefinite term that may be terminated by either party with a 60 day notice for 1,000 Euro per month. Due to the short termination clause, we are treating this as a month to month lease. Future minimum lease payments for the years ending December 31, are:

 

Year   Lease Payment  
2020   $ 241,884  
2021   $ 249,132

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time we may be party to litigation matters occurring in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this Annual Report, however, there are no material pending legal or governmental proceedings relating to our Company to which we are a party, and to our knowledge there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates are a party adverse to us or which have a material interest adverse to us.

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

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements.

With the vision to combat climate change and creating a better, cleaner and environmentally sustainable future, we formed Clean Energy HRS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. and acquired the assets of Heat Recovery Solutions from General Electric International on September 11, 2015. In November 2015, we changed our name to Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 2990 Redhill Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. We have 12 full time employees. All employees and overhead are shared between Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (which still provides the contract electronic manufacturing services) and Clean Energy HRS, LLC.

 

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. established a new company CETY Europe, SRL (Cety Europe) as a wholly owned subsidiary. Cety Europe is a Sales and Service Center in Silea (Treviso), Italy established in 2017. The service center became operational in November 2018. Their offices are located at Alzaia Sul Sile, 26D, 31057 Silea (TV) and the have 1 full time employee.

 

The Company has three reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS), Cety Europe and the legacy electronic contract manufacturing services (Electronic Assembly) division.

 

Business Overview

 

General

 

The Company’s business and operating results are directly affected by changes in overall customer demand, operational costs and performance and leverage of our fixed cost and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) infrastructure.

 

Product sales fluctuate in response to several factors including many that are beyond the Company’s control, such as general economic conditions, interest rates, government regulations, consumer spending, labor availability, and our customers’ production rates and inventory levels. Product sales consist of demand from customers in many different markets with different levels of cyclicality and seasonality.

 

Operating performance is dependent on the Company’s ability to manage changes in input costs for items such as raw materials, labor, and overhead operating costs. Performance is also affected by manufacturing efficiencies, including items such as on time delivery, quality, scrap, and productivity. Market factors of supply and demand can impact operating costs

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China and has spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” This contagious disease outbreak, which has not been contained, and is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a range of industries in United States and other companies as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak, as well as the worldwide adverse effect to workforces, economies and financial markets, leading to a global economic downturn. Therefore, the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its operating results. However, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

Clean Energy HRS (HRS)

 

We design, build and deliver power from industrial heating systems and biomass sources to produce environmentally friendly energy at competitive prices using our Clean CycleTM heat generators acquired from General Electric International. Our initial principal product is the Clean CycleTM heat generator, offered through our wholly owned subsidiary Heat Recovery Solutions, (HRS). The Clean CycleTM generator captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity. By using our Clean CycleTM generator commercial and industrial heat generators boost their overall energy efficiency and the savings created provide our customers with a fast return on their investment. The Clean CycleTM saves fuel, reduces pollution and requires very little maintenance. Please see a more detailed discussion of the products and services in the Clean Energy HRS Products and services overview business overview below.

Cety Europe

 

CETY Europe Sales and Service Center is the Sales, warranty and service company for CETY’s Clean Cycle™ Heat Recovery Solutions (HRS) and includes a 24/7 Call Center, support Field Service Personnel, including remote access to the Waste Heat Generators and inventory spare parts to support the currently commissioned 65 Clean CycleTM installations in Europe. The service center also provides support services for new European sales. CETY has identified substantial unmet market needs in many European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, Belarus and the Czech Republic. Cety Europe will sell and distribute the Clean CycleTM Waste Heat Generators and replacement parts from the Clean Energy HRS line of products. The CETY Europe Sales and Service Center will be well suited to handle any warranty and/or service issues, as well as sell and distribute the Clean energy HRS line of products. Cety Europe has 1 employee.

 

Engineering and Manufacturing

 

The Engineering and Manufacturing business was our core legacy business until we acquired the Heat Recovery Solutions technology and business assets from GE. We consolidated the Probe Manufacturing , now named Clean Energy Technologies, Inc with the Clean Energy HRS, LLC. in order to support a few legacy electronics assembly customers and support the electronics manufacturing portion of our newly acquired technology from General Electric by Clean Energy HRS, LLC. Although this is not our core focus nor do we intend to grow this segment, we still derive a revenue stream to help offset a portion of the overhead. This segment provides contract manufacturing services of electronic printed circuit board assemblies to customers in the medical and aerospace industries. The services provided are contract in nature and are built the customers specification. They supply the design and component specifications. We purchase the components and solder the components to the bare printed circuit boards.

 

Summary of Operating Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018

 

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 stockholder’s deficit of $5,252,478 and a working capital deficit of $6,785,689 and a net loss of $2,555,983 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, our operating expense was $2,111,835 compared to $2,044,392 for the same period in 2018.

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Clean Energy Technologies Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clean Energy Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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 a significant accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative working capital and has utilized significant net cash in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s 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.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Notes 1- GENERAL

 

Corporate History

 

With the vision to combat climate change and creating a better, cleaner and environmentally sustainable future Clean Energy HRS LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. acquired the assets of Heat Recovery Solutions from General Electric International on September 11, 2015. 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.

 

General Electric acquired the rights and 16 global patents to the magnetic bearing technology from Calnetix in October of 2010 and further developed the next generation of the waste heat generators, which was ultimately acquired by Clean Energy Technologies from GE. We completed our production facility post the acquisition in October of 2016. We consolidated our legacy and HRS operations and began our production in early 2017. In early 2018 we engaged with a large institutional equity partner and closed our first round of funding. We are successfully executing on our business strategy by increasing our market presence and broadening our product portfolio in the heat to power markets. We’re continuing to design, build and ship products to Europe, US, Canada, South East Pacific regions and planned expansion into Asia. We are continuing to build a strong back log and pipeline of opportunities while developing the next disruptive heat to power generators with the support of our new equity partners.

 

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 stockholder’s deficit of $5,252,478 and a working capital deficit of $6,785,689 and a net loss of $2,555,983 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $14,215,718 as of December 31, 2019 and used $2,224,168 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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

 

Our marketing approach is to position CETY as a worldwide leader in the heat to power & energy efficiency markets by targeting industries that have wasted heat which could potentially turn into electricity.

 

We are leveraging our proprietary magnetic bearing turbine technology and over 100 installation with 1 million fleet operating to increase our market share in low to medium temperature waste heat recovery markets.

 

We utilize both a direct sales force and global distribution group with expertise in heat recovery solutions and clean energy markets. We have also established relationships with integrators, consultant and project developers and integrated solution providers.

 

We plan to leverage our core expertise to identify, acquire and develop leading clean energy and clean technology solutions and products. We will continue to utilize our relationships and expertise to expand in clean and renewable energy sector through new in-house development of disruptive heat to power technologies, acquisitions, cogeneration, and licensing agreements.

 

CETY maintains an online presence through our web portal and social media. Our application engineers assist in converting the opportunities into projects. We provide technical support to our Clean Cycle TM generator clients through providing maintenance and product support.

 

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. They are also dependent on regulatory drivers and financial incentives.

 

CETY has implemented a new Enterprise Resource planning software by Microsoft providing accurate and timely information to support a more robust and efficient supply chain. The operational leadership is continually working on lowering the cost of manufacturing and identifying lower cost regions to support higher margins of our products.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

The summary of significant accounting policies of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (formerly Probe Manufacturing, Inc.) is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

 

The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Estimates

 

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.

 

  35  
 

 

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, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $82,000 and $57,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 98% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2019. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our bad debt expense was $128,463 compared to $50,000 for the same period in 2018. This increase was mainly due to increase a bad debt write off $103,463 and an increase in reserve for bad debt of $25,000. We also had one customer that accounted for 74% and 2 customers that accounted for 92% of our accounts receivable December 31, 2019. We also had one customer that accounted for 59% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Lease asset

 

As of December 31, 2019, and 2018 we had a lease asset that was purchased from General electric with a value of $1,309,527, however due the the purchase price allocation, we recognized a value of $217,584. The lease is due to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2020 and will generate approximately $20,000 per month for 120 months. See note 3 for additional information.

 

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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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
Leasehold Improvements   7 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

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”).

 

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

 

FASB ASC 606-10-25-27 through 25-29, 25-36 through 25-37, 55-5 through 55-10

 

An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following criteria is met:

 

a. The customer receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-5 through 55-6).

b. The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in process) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-7).

c. The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity (see FASB ASC 606-10-25-28), and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-25-29).

 

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

 

FASB ASC 606-10-25-30

 

If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity should consider the guidance on control in FASB ASC 606-10-25-23 through 25-26. In addition, it should consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

a. The entity has a present right to payment for the asset

b. The customer has legal title to the asset

c. The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset

d. The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset

e. The customer has accepted the asset

 

The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. In Addition a) the company also does not have an alternative use for the asset if the customer were to cancel the contract, and b.) has a fully enforceable right to receive payment for work performed (i.e., customers are required to pay as various milestones and/or timeframes are met)

 

The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle for our HRS and Cety Europe Divisions:

 

Identify the contract with the customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

  36  
 

 

Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

 

The following steps are applied to our legacy engineering and manufacturing division:

 

We generate a quotation
We receive Purchase orders from our customers.
We build the product to their specification
We invoice at the time of shipment
The terms are typically Net 30 days

 

Also, from time to time our contracts state that the customer is not obligated to pay a final payment until the units are commissioned, i.e. a final payment of 10%. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 we had $47,750 and 33,000 of deferred revenue, which is expected to be recognized in the third quarter of year 2020. There is an additional ~$150,000 to be billed for labor/installation/commissioning services per the customer contracts outstanding as of 12/31/19.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s derivative liabilities have been valued as Level 3 instruments. We value the derivative liability using a lattice model, with a volatility of 112% and using a risk free interest rate of 2.54%

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, convertible notes payable and advances from related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31 2018 and 2019, reflect:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
                                 
Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – December 31, 2018   $      –     $      –     $ 245,988     $ 245,988  

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
                                 
Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – December 31, 2019   $        –     $       –     $ 320,794     $ 320,794  

 

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.

 

  37  
 

 

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, 2019, we had outstanding common shares of 753,907,656 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 641,349,437 and 553,354,983, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had convertible notes, convertible into approximately 411,446,077 of additional common shares, outstanding preferred shares convertible into 8,125,000 , calculated @ $.08 of additional common shares and 174,250,000 common stock warrants convertible into an additional. 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, 2019 and 2018.

 

Segment Disclosure

 

FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has three reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS), Cety Europe 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 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, 2017 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 25’s 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. 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 year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 we had $0 and $353,140 respectively, in share-based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized.

Income Taxes

 

Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception.

 

On December 22, 2018 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21%.

 

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.

 

Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(5,366,000) and a deferred tax asset of $1,126,860 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 $(1,126,860). 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, 2019 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

 

    December 31, 2019     December 31, 2018  
Deferred Tax Asset   $ 1,126,860     $ 515,944  
Valuation Allowance     (1,126,860 )     (515,944 )

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 received $907,388 in exchange for the issuance of 302,462,667 restricted shares of the Corporation’s 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 note was assigned to MGW Investments.

 

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. Further, the Company currently has no open tax years’ subject to audit prior to December 31, 2015. The Company is current on its federal and state tax returns.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company is reviewing the effects of following recent updates. The Company has no expectation that any of these items will have a material effect upon the financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses [codified as Accounting Standards Codification Topic (ASC) 326]. ASC 326 adds to US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. This will become effective in January 2023 and will have minimal impact on the company.

As of December 31, 2019 the outstanding balance was $36,500.

ASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted the above ASU as of January 1, 2019. The right of use asset and lease liability have been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, utilizing a 5% average borrowing rate and the company is utilizing the transition relief and “running off” on current leases.

(the “Company”) of his resignation from his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective March 9, 2020.

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 20,000,000 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.

 

  47  
 

 

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.

 

In connection with the subscriptions for the Series D Preferred, we issued series F warrants to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of our common stock at $.10 per share and series G warrants to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of our common stock at $.20 per share.

 

On August 21, 2014, a holder holding 5,000 shares of Preferred Series D Preferred agreed to lower the dividend rate to 13% on its Series D Preferred. In September 2015, all holders of Series D Preferred signed and delivered estoppel agreements, whereby the holders agreed, among other things, that the Series D Preferred was not in default and to reduce (effective as of December 31, 2015) the dividend rate on the Series D Preferred Stock to six percent per annum and to terminate the 3.5% penalty in respect of unpaid dividends accruing on or after such date.

 

In the first quarter of 2019, we signed agreements to issue 4,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $.015 for a total value of $60,000 for the conversion of 800 preferred series D shares, which were subsequently issued.

 

We also recorded a $60,000 inducement fee (in exchange for the “standoff” and estoppel agreement and discounted conversion terms) to account for the difference in the fair value which we offset to retained earnings.

 

Subsequently on February 4, 2020 we issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $.04 per share, in exchange for the conversion of 800 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock.

Mr. Pang graduated from the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor’s degree in business and finance. We believe that Mr. Pang is well qualified to serve as a member of our Board of Directors due to his extensive experience in U.S. and Asian corporate finance and may assist us in developing relationships with financial institutions.

 

Each director holds office until the earlier of his or her death, resignation, removal from office by the stockholders, or his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of our nominees or directors and any other person pursuant to which any of our nominees or directors have been selected for their respective positions. No nominee or director is related to any executive officer or any other nominee or director.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Director Attendance at Meetings of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors held 4 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75.0% of the aggregate total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he served as a director.

 

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of the Shareholders

 

Although we have no policy with regard to attendance by the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings, we invite and encourage the members of our Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings to foster communication between Shareholders and our Board of Directors. We did not hold an annual meeting in 2019.

Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors

 

Any stockholder who desires to contact members of our Board of Directors, or a specified committee of our Board of Directors, may do so by writing to: Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., Board of Directors, 2990. Redhill Ave, Costa Mesa, California 92626, Attention: Secretary. Communications received will be distributed by our Secretary to such member or members of our Board of Directors as deemed appropriate by our Secretary, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received.

 

Director Independence

 

We had a four-member Board of Directors in 2019 of which two members are independent directors.

 

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 Board of Directors.

 

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 nominee’s standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominee’s ability to represent the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole; a nominee’s 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. Nominations must include the full name of the proposed nominee, a brief description of the proposed nominee’s business experience for at least the previous five years and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record owner of our common stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Nominations should be delivered to: Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., Board of Directors, 2990. Redhill Ave, Costa Mesa, California 92626, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

 

  56  
 

 

Our Board of Directors will recommend the slate of directors to be nominated for election at the annual meeting of shareholders. We have not and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees.

 

Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our Board of Directors oversees our shareholders’ interest in the long-term success of our business strategy and our overall financial strength.

 

Our Board of Directors is actively involved in overseeing risks associated with our business strategies and decisions. It does so, in part, through its approval of all acquisitions and business-related investments and all assumptions of debt, as well as its oversight of our executive officers pursuant to annual reviews. Our Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing risks related to corporate governance and the selection of nominees to our Board of Directors.

 

In addition, the Board reviews the potential risks related to our financial reporting. The Board meets with our Chief Financial Officer and communicates with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm on a quarterly basis to discuss and assess the risks related to our internal controls. Additionally, material violations of our Code of Ethics and related corporate policies are reported to our Board of Directors.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have adopted our Code of Ethics, which contains general guidelines for conducting our business and is designed to help our directors, employees and independent consultants resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex business environment. Our Code of Ethics applies to our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and persons performing similar functions and all members of our Board of Directors. Our Code of Ethics covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, and compliance with laws and regulations. Shareholders may request a copy of our Code of Ethics, which will be provided without charge, by writing to: Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., Board of Directors, 2990. Redhill Ave, Costa Mesa, California 92626; Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

The key objective of our non-employee directors’ compensation program is to attract and retain highly qualified directors with the necessary skills, experience and character to oversee our management. 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. The use of equity-based compensation is designed to recognize the time commitment, expertise and potential liability relating to active Board service, while aligning the interests of our Board of Directors with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

 

In addition to the compensation provided to our non-employee director, which is detailed below, each non-employee director is reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending in-person meetings of the Board of Directors and Board committees, as well for any fees incurred in attending continuing education courses for directors.

 

Fiscal Years 2019 and 2018 Annual Cash Compensation

 

We currently do not provide cash compensation to our directors and as such did not provide any cash compensation during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

These yearly restricted share unit awards vest in full on the grant date..

We have a four-member Board of Directors. Due to the size of our company and the difficulty in finding directors that have experience in our industry, 2 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.

 

  62  
 

 

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 executive’s performance in carrying out company responsibilities;
Activities that call for the use of the company’s 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.

Board of Directors Audit Report to Shareholders

 

Since we do not have a standing Audit Committee our full Board of Directors oversees our financial reporting process. Our management has the primary responsibility for our financial statements as well as our financial reporting process, principles and internal controls.
