Notes 1- GENERAL

The Company

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. is a clean energy and environmentally sustainable technologies company offering heat recovery solutions products and also providing engineering and manufacturing solutions focused on other energy efficiency and environmental sustainability technologies.  The Company’s principal product offering currently is the Clean Cycle™ heat recovery solution, or HRS.  The Company’s engineering and manufacturing resources support its heat recovery solutions business, as well as continuing to support other emerging growth companies with their technologies, with an emphasis in Clean Tech.  The Company intends to identify other technologies or companies for acquisition and integration to its Clean Tech focused platform.

Our growth strategy is to identify, acquire and develop leading clean energy and clean technology solutions and utilize CETI’s relationships and expertise to identify key technologies that match our strength and capabilities in manufacturing, supply chain management, unique business model and clean technology.

Our initial acquisition in clean energy is the proprietary turbine technology for Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”)-based heat recovery power systems, which matches our manufacturing and engineering strengths. Our engineering and manufacturing services also provide a source of revenue and assist in providing opportunities for potential business and intellectual property acquisitions.

On September 11, 2015, Clean Energy HRS LLC (“CE HRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEII”), pursuant to which CE HRS acquired GEII’s Heat Recovery Solutions, or HRS, assets, including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The HRS assets will be used by the Company to manufacture and commercialize Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”)-based heat recovery power systems. The ORC system comprised GEII’s proprietary Clean Cycle™ turbine generator system and integrated power module, together with related components, controls, power electronics, software and equipment. The Company co-located and integrate the HRS assets with the Company’s existing engineering and manufacturing business at the former GEII facility in Costa Mesa, California.  The consideration for the purchase of the HRS assets was set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8K dated September 11, 2015.  CE HRS issued a three-year promissory note to GEII with respect to payment of the cash portion of the purchase price and CE HRS assumed certain liabilities of GEII related to the acquired assets. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type.

In connection with the HRS asset transaction, on September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement (the “TCF Agreement”) with ETI Partners IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ETI”), pursuant to which the Company and ETI implemented a structure to provide for the Company to raise up to $5,000,000 in financing. In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to ETI 100,910,321 shares of restricted common stock, representing 70% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company upon receipt of an initial $500,000 in financing, which occurred subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2015. In conjunction with the TCF Agreement, the Company and ETI also entered into a Loan, Guarantee, and Collateral Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement. Financing to the Company is intended to be provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement and any shares issued or issuable in connection with the financing are granted certain demand registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the TCF Agreement, the Company expanded its Board of Directors to 11 directors, and ETI nominated and elected five persons to the Board of Directors. In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for investment loan transactions of this type.

Page 8 of 36

As part of completing the acquisition of the HRS assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the TCF Agreement and integration thereof into our business, we changed our name to “Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.” on November 13, 2015to better reflect the focus of our new business and business strategies.

Previously, in March 2013, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition with Trident Manufacturing, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Trident”) and the shareholders of Trident, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Trident is a full-service electronics manufacturing services company with a 16,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, servicing the industrial, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and medical markets since 2005.As of the Trident acquisition, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill.

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 $639,966 and a working capital deficit of $946,509 and a net loss of $543,210 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and $725,083 for the nine months endedSeptember 30,2015. The company also hadan accumulated deficit of $3,030,286as of September 30,2015 and used $1,094,202 in net cash from operating activities for the nine months endedSeptember 30,2015. 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 a profitable operating stand 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 Operations

Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) organic growth through our acquired HRS assets and servicing customers from whom we generate profit and whom we believe can provide opportunities for growth and scale,(ii) leveraging core competencies with emphasis in cleantech, and (iii) expansion of capabilities and competencies through mergers and acquisitions providing scale, cost synergies and revenue and profit opportunities.

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

 

Our Products and Services

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

Our engineering and manufacturing team supports a technology customers with a broad range of electrical, mechanical and software engineering services.

Page 9 of 36

Sales and Marketing

 

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

We utilize both direct sales force and sales representatives with expertise in clean energy.

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 Company follows the accounting guidance outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification guidelines. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10Q. They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which unless otherwise disclosed herein, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30,2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,2015.

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.

 

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

Page 10 of 36

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 September 30, 2015, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $82,680.  Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 85% of accounts receivable at September 30,2015 and one customer accounted for 40% and no other customer accounted for more than 14% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of September 30,2015, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $270,000. 

 

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

Depreciation expense totaled $23,926 and $18,665 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Long –Lived Assets

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Page 11 of 36

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 September 30, 2015, we had outstanding common shares of 34,386,444 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 32,384,211 and 25,153,502, respectively.  As of September 30, 2015, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,050,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 75,122 additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive. 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) were expensed as incurred.  We had no amounts of research and development R&D during the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. 

 

Segment Disclosure     

 

FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have determined that through September 30, 2015 he had one reportable segment –electronics manufacturing services. As such, our operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment for all periods presented.

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; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate,” we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90-day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the Company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20-trading-day average. At the time of grant, the share-based compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.

Page 12 of 36

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 three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 we had $73,450and $7,500, respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of common stock.  As of September 30, 2015 we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized. 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of September 30,2015, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(2,800,000) and a deferred tax asset of approximately $960,000 using the statutory rate of 34%. 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 $(960,000).  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 September 30, 2015, the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and the states of California and Utah.  Further, the Company currently has no open tax years subject to audit prior to December 31, 2011.  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.

Business Combination and Goodwill

On March 20, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Trident whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result we recognized $420,673 in goodwill.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2011, the Company adopted a plan to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 promulgated underthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The plan allows the Company to purchase its issued and outstanding common shares in the open market or in negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors as well as being in compliance with applicablesecurities laws. The plan does not obligate the Company to make any purchases, at any specific time or in any particular situation. The plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Company. Share repurchases will be funded with the Company’s available cash, after determining the working capital requirements of the Company.Accordingly, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase plan because it believed market conditions at the time of the plan’s adoption or thereafter may cause the Company’s common stock to be undervalued and repurchases of Company common stock to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The timing and number of any shares repurchased will depend on the terms and conditions of the plan and no assurance can be given that any specific amount of common stock will be repurchased.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had repurchased an aggregate total of 11,500 shares of our common stock under the plan.

OVERVIEW

Our Company

 

Our Company

 

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. is a clean energy and environmentally sustainable technologies company offering heat recovery solutions products and also providing engineering and manufacturing solutions focused on other energy efficiency and environmental sustainability technologies.  The Company’s principal product offering currently is the “Clean Cycle” heat recovery solution, or HRS.  The Company’s engineering and manufacturing resources support its heat recovery solutions business, as well as continuing to support other emerging growth companies with their technologies, with an emphasis in Clean Tech.  The Company intends to identify other technologies or companies for acquisition and integration to its Clean Tech focused platform.

Our growth strategy is to identify, acquire and develop leading clean energy and clean technology solutions and utilize CETI’s relationships and expertise to identify key technologies that match our strength and capabilities in manufacturing, supply chain management, unique business model and clean technology.

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 $639,966 and a working capital deficit of $946,509 and a net loss of $543,210 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $725,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The company also hadan accumulated deficit of $3,030,286 as of September 30, 2015 and used $1,094,202 in net cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. 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 a profitable operating stand 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 Operations

Page 24 of 36

Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) organic growth through our acquired HRS assets and servicing customers from whom we generate profit and whom we believe can provide opportunities for growth and scale,(ii) leveraging core competencies with emphasis in cleantech, and (iii) expansion of capabilities and competencies through mergers and acquisitions providing scale, cost synergies and revenue and profit opportunities.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data expressed as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this document. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net Sales 

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we had net sales of $235,838 compared to net sales of $1,032,307 for the same period in 2014 mainly due to the relocation to the new facility and a temporary shut down during that time.

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 80% of our net sales for the three month period ended September 30,2015compared to 89%, for the same period in 2014. We believe that our ability to grow our core business depends on increasing sales to existing customers, and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed based on our customer’s performance and the end users’ markets over which we have no control. The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business cannot be ensured. In addition, we cannot assume that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Gross Profit 

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities, which allows us to better utilize our manufacturing capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves over time as manufacturing program volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improves, and as we increase the level of vertically-integrated manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

Page 26 of 36

 

Gross profit during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 was $47,588 at 20% of sales compared to $269,589 at 26% of sales for the same period in 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $455,159 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $309,597 for the same period in 2014.

Interest Expense

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, our interest expense was $69,379 compared to $45,460 for the same period in 2014.

Key performance indicators

Inventory turns: are calculated as the ratio of cost of material compared to the average inventory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, our inventory turns were .81compared to 5.03 for the same period in 2014.

Days Sales in Backlog is calculated based on our back log divided by average daily sales during that period.  For the three months ended September 30,2015, days sales in backlog was 457 days compared to 171days for the same period in 2014.  

Days receivables outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts receivable during that period compared to average daily sales for the same period.  For the three months ended September 30, 2015, days receivables outstanding was 80 days compared to 44 days for the same period in 2014.  

DaysPayable outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during that period compared to average daily sales for the same period. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, days payable outstanding was 259 days compared to 82days for the same period in 2014.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

 Legal Proceedings

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2015, except as disclosed below.

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

If we cannot obtain additional financing and/or reduce our operating costs sufficiently, and the effect of other unknown adverse factors could threaten our existence as a going concern.  Therefore, we may have to curtail operations and may ultimately cease to exist.

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 $639,966 and a working capital deficit of $946,509 and a net loss of $543,210 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $725,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The company also hadan accumulated deficit of $3,030,286 as of September 30,2015 and used $1,094,202 in net cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,2015. 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 a profitable operating stand and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.

We have an accumulated deficit and may incur additional losses; therefore we may not be able to obtain the additional financing needed for working capital, capital expenditures and to meet our debt service and preferred stock redemption obligations.

As of September 30,2015, we had current liabilities of $2,689,558.  We incurred significant additional obligations in connection with our HRS acquisition in September 2015.  We do not presently have the cash or resources to fully service or satisfy such obligations.  Our existingdebt 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 have outstanding $750,000 in Series D Preferred Stock obligations as to which there are certain redemption obligations.  We do not presently have the resources to redeem such stock obligations.  

We may not be able to meet our debt service or preferred stock 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 or dividend payments to our Series D Preferred Stockholders, we will be in default which will have a material adverse impact on our business and working capital.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On September 10, 2015, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of its common stock to five individuals to settle $92,000 in outstanding fees that were owed by the Company for services provided.

On October 1, 2015, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its common stock for consulting services.

On October 2, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,910,321 shares of common stock to one investor pursuant to the Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement and 4,000,000 to one investor.  All such shares were issued to the accredited investors for cash.

The foregoing securities were all issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The investors represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

 Other Information

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On September 11, 2015, Clean Energy HRS LLC (“CE HRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEII”), pursuant to which CE HRS acquired GEII’s heat recovery solutions, or HRS, assets, including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The HRS assets will be used by the Company to manufacture and commercialize Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”)-based heat recovery power systems. The ORC system comprised GEII’s proprietary Clean Cycle™ turbine generator system and integrated power module, together with related components, controls, power electronics, software and equipment. Our heat recovery solutions business will design, manufacture, test, market and/or sell ORC-based heat recovery power systems, including the integrated power module (“IPM”) and Clean Cycle generator and all other components, controls, power electronics, software and/or equipment that are included in such systems and provide related services for the ORC-based heat recovery power systems, in each case including in the following fields of use: (i) any ORC-based application where the heat is sourced from: (a) reciprocating combustion engines, of any type, except those employed on transiting marine vessels, (b) gas or steam turbine systems for Power Generation applications, where “Power Generation” means the process of creating electricity from any other form of energy, and (c) Biomass Boiler systems, where “Biomass Boiler” means a device that uses Biomass as a fuel to heat fluid and where “Biomass” means living or recently living biological or organic material as a source of energy and (ii) the following applications (without limitation to ORC-based applications): (x) reciprocating combustion engines, of any type, except those employed on transiting marine vessels or in automotive applications for cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles, (y) gas or steam turbine systems with an ISO-rated power output above one megawatt (1 MW), and (z) applications that use Biomass as a source of heat. The assets were located at a facility in Costa Mesa, California where the Company currently manufactures the less than 1 MW Organic Rankine Cycle waste heat power generator including the IPM. As consideration

Page 32 of 36

for the asset purchase the Company issued GEII a three-year promissory note in the initial principal amount of $1,400,000 and assumed certain liabilities. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type. The Company co-located and integrated the HRS assets with the Company’s existing engineering and manufacturing business at the former GEII facility in Costa Mesa, California.

The foregoing summary of the Asset Purchase Agreement is incomplete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document, which was filed on with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8K dated September 11, 2015.

Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement

In connection with the HRS asset transaction, on September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement (the “TCF Agreement”) with ETI Partners IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ETI”), pursuant to which the Company and ETI implemented a structure to provide for the Company to raise up to $5,000,000 in financing. In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to ETI 100,910,321 shares of restricted common stock, representing 70% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company upon receipt of an initial $500,000 in financing, which occurred subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2015. In conjunction with the TCF Agreement, the Company and ETI also entered into a Loan, Guarantee, and Collateral Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement. Financing to the Company is intended to be provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement and any shares issued or issuable in connection with the financing are granted certain demand registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the TCF Agreement, the Company expanded its Board of Directors to 11 directors, and ETI nominated and elected five persons to the Board of Directors. In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for investment loan transactions of this type.

The foregoing summary of the TCF Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is incomplete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the documents, which were filed with the SEC as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3and 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 11, 2015.

Change in Name

As part of completing the acquisition of the HRS assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the TCF Agreement and integration thereof into our business, we changed our name to “Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.” on November 13, 2015 to better reflect the focus of our new business and business strategies.
