Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes 1- GENERAL
Business Overview
We design, build, and market clean energy products focused on energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable technologies and we perform electronics manufacturing services for third parties. Our principal products are based upon the Clean Cycle™ heat recovery system, offered by our wholly owned subsidiary Clean Energy HRS LLC. Our Clean Cycle™ captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity that users can use, store, or export, such as to an external or utility power grid. The proven, cutting-edge Clean Cycle™ technology allows commercial and industrial heat generators or sources to boost their overall energy efficiency with no additional fuel, no pollutants, and virtually no maintenance. The engineering and manufacturing resources from our electronics manufacturing services business support our heat recovery solutions business. We intend also to leverage these capabilities to identify and exploit other clean energy technologies and opportunities.
The Clean Cycle™ heat recovery solution is an Organic Rankine Cycle, or ORC, system. An ORC system is a closed-loop heat recovery steam generator system, sometimes referred to as an HRS or an HRSG, that utilizes heat from a heat source, such as an existing power generation system, to heat a fluid to produce steam. The steam then passes through a turbine generator, and turbine generator converts the kinetic energy in the steam to produce electrical energy, which can be used, stored, or exported. The ORC cycle then recycles and further cools the fluid medium to again use heat from the external heat source to continue the power-generation cycle.
The technology at the heart of the Clean Cycle™ is a magnetic levitation bearing generator, which requires no oil or other lubricants and has no gear box. The turbine generator and related power management electronics are what convert the kinetic energy in the steam cycle into electrical energy. There are over 100 Clean Cycle™ HRS units installed globally with more than one million fleet operating hours in diesel, gas, and biomass applications.
The magnetic levitation bearing generator technology was originally developed by Calnetix, Inc. General Electric International, Inc. acquired the rights to the technology in certain applications from Calnetix in 2010. In September 2015, our CE HRS subsidiary acquired General Electric’s rights to the technology in those applications, together with General Electric’s related HRS technology and improvements, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with General Electric International, Inc. and General Electric Company that was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8K dated September 11, 2015 and a concurrent Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement with ETI Partners IV, LLC. CE HRS made an initial purchase price payment of $300,000 at closing and issued a three-year $1.2 million promissory note to GEII with respect to payment of the balance of the cash portion of the purchase price. CE HRS also assumed certain liabilities of GEII related to the acquired assets. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type. Pursuant to the companion Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement facilitating our acquisition of the GE HRS assets, we issued 100,910,321 restricted shares of our common stock to ETI Partners IV, LLC (representing approximately 70% of the post-acquisition outstanding common stock). Concurrently, we entered into a Loan, Guarantee, and Collateral Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with ETI Partners IV, LLC to provide a framework for further financing in the Company.
Pursuant to our license agreement with Calnetix (which General Electric assigned to us in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement), we market and sell our Clean Cycle™ products world-wide to ORC-based application where heat is sourced from reciprocating combustion engines, of any type (other than those employed on transiting marine vessels), gas or steam turbine systems used for power generation, and biomass boiler systems. Our rights in these applications are exclusive. We also market our Clean Cycle™ products world-wide on a non-exclusive basis in the following applications, whether or not ORC-based: reciprocating combustion engines, of any type (except those employed on transiting marine vessels or in the automotive
Page 11 of 39
application for cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles); gas or steam turbine systems with an ISO rated power output above one megawatt (1 MW); and applications that use biomass as a source of heat. We have also periodically negotiated to obtain additional non-exclusive marketing rights to the technology from Calnetix as commercial opportunities have arisen that are not in conflict with other licensees of Calnetix.
Our growth strategy is to scale up our business by focusing on the significant installed base of power generation and biomass boiler systems ideally suited to ORC-based heat recovery systems, exploiting market segments and regions where there are significantly high electricity prices, and identifying and exploiting incentive markets as they are available. We sell equipment and complete heat recovery systems globally directly to end customers and also through distributors. We also commercialize our heat recovery systems through lease and energy-based programs where appropriate. We are also developing technology co-ventures with owners of compatible power generation technology to develop integrated energy production systems to exploit additional potential customers.
The GE HRS asset acquisition and related financing transactions resulted in a change of control of the Company according to FASB No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805). As a result, the transactions qualify as a business combination. In accordance with Topic 805, the Company elected to apply pushdown accounting, using the valuation date of December 31, 2015. As a result we recognized $747,976 in goodwill.

Following completion of the acquisition and integration of the GE HRS into our business, on November 13, 2015 we changed our name to “Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.” to better reflect the focus of our new business and business strategies.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholder’s deficit of $2,728,149 and a working capital deficit of $3,753,647 and a net loss of $616,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $7,190,960 as of March 31, 2017 and used $443,644 in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach 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 Operation
Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) pursuing increased sales through existing global distribution channels and utilization of direct sales; (ii) pursuing lease and energy-based contracts with customers, including targeted island or isolated locations where the economics, energy
Page 12 of 39
production, and emissions reduction profiles are attractive; (iii) pursuing stable and higher-margin electronics manufacturing services contracts where the terms are favorable to the Company; (iv) arranging financing partnerships and relationships to facilitate increased lease and energy-based commercialization of our HRS products; (v) leveraging core competencies to acquire or integrate other technologies and entertain equity opportunities; and (vi) pursuing licenses of our patented technology and proprietary processes and developing cogeneration and OEM opportunities.
Our future success is likely dependent on our ability to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations. The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our Products and Services
Our main product, the Clean Cycle™ HRS system, converts heat from variety of heat sources into clean, affordable electricity. Our heat recovery solution system generates electricity from heat with zero additional fuel required, zero additional emissions produced, and low maintenance. The Clean Cycle™ HRS system is also re-deployable with continuous 24x7 operation.
Sales and Marketing
Our marketing approach is to position the Company, our products and our services under our new “Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.” and “CETY” identity and brand. We intend to market our Heat Recovery Solutions products specifically using the market-recognized Clean Cycle™ brand name. We also intend to utilize our relationships to identify new market segments and regions in which we can expand the commercialization of our products. We intend to offer our products for sale and also to commercialize them under leases, energy-based contracts and other financing structures to accelerate customer adoption and increase market penetration. We also intend to explore licensing opportunities for our patented and other proprietary technologies. We utilize both direct sales force and global distributors with expertise in clean energy.
Corporate Information
We were originally incorporated in California in July 1995 under the name Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. We reincorporated in Nevada in April 2005 under the name Probe Manufacturing, Inc.

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.
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
Page 13 of 39
materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain the majority of our cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
We grant credit to our customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us. Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 98% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2017. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $250,000.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:
Furniture and fixtures 3 to 7 years
Equipment 7 to 10 years
Long –Lived Assets
Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. We have not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.
The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred.
Page 14 of 39
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Other Comprehensive Income
We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.
Net Profit (Loss) per Common Share
Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At March 31, 2017, we had outstanding common shares of 194,578,083 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 171,683,639 and 139,446,765, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 750,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 2,618,818 additional common shares. In addition, we had convertible notes, convertible into 136,081,400 of additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive for the months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 our fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were 140,571,887.
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 year ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
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 two reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS) and the legacy electronic manufacturing services division. The segments are determined based on several factors, including the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, customer base, delivery 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 September 11, 2015 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; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average
Page 16 of 39
of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate,” we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90-day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the Company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20-trading-day average. At the time of grant, the share-based compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly. It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares. The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.
We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and, if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share-based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 we had $2,460 and $16,000 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of March 31, 2017 we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of March 31, 2017, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(2,665,035) and a deferred tax asset of $906,112 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 $(906,112). 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 March 31, 2017 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

Deferred Tax Asset | $ 906,112 | $ 696,639 |
Valuation Allowance | (906,112) | (696,639) |

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement with ETI Partners IV LLC, and 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. This resulted in a change in control, which limited the net operating to that date forward.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and the states of California and Utah. Further, the Company currently has no open tax years’ subject to audit prior to December 31, 2013. The Company is current on its federal and state tax returns.

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 applicable securities 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.

Common Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2017 there were 155,178,083 shares of common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the common stock to be issued will be, fully paid and non-assessable. Each share of our common stock has identical rights and privileges in every respect. The holders of our common stock are entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders and are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. There are no cumulative voting rights.
The holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends and other distributions that our Board of Directors may declare from time to time out of funds legally available for that purpose, if any, after the satisfaction of any prior rights and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of common stock shares will be entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and our obligations to holders of our outstanding preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.
Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.
We previously authorized 440 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 20,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and 15,000 shares Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of August 20, 2006, all series A, B, and C preferred had been converted into common stock.

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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
(unaudited)

OVERVIEW
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 $2,728,149 and a working capital deficit of $3,753,647 and a net loss of $616,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $7,190,960 as of March 31, 2017 and used $443,644 in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach 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.
Summary of Results for the three months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had a net profit of $85,421 compared to a net loss of $616,097 for the same period in 2017. The increase in the net loss in 2017 was mainly due to the the decrease in Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our cost of goods sold was 23% compared to 59% for the same period in 2016, mainly due to the decrease material cost as a percent of sales in 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our SG&A cost was 141% compared to 39% for the same period in 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had a net loss from operations of $(317,125) compared to a net profit of 235,637 for the same period in 2016.

Inventory turns: are calculated as the ratio of cost of material compared to the average inventory. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our inventory turns were 1.11 compared to 1.89 for the same period in 2016.
Days Sales in Backlog is calculated based on our back log divided by average daily sales during that period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, days sales in backlog was 119 days compared to 87 days for the same period in 2016.
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 March 31, 2017, days receivables outstanding was 122 days compared to 85 days for the same period in 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.
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 March 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 99% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and one customer accounted for 59% 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
Page 31 of 39
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 March 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $250,000.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. We follow the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $5,000. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:
Furniture and fixtures 3 to 7 years
Equipment 7 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements 2 years (life of the lease)
Long –Lived Assets
Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. We have not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Other Comprehensive Income
We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.
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 March 31, 2017, we had outstanding common shares of 194,578,083 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 171,683,639 and 139,446,765, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 750,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 2,618,818 additional common shares. In addition, we had convertible notes, convertible into 136,081,400 of additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were
Page 32 of 39
considered anti-dilutive for the months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 our fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were 140,571,887.

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 they serve which we have no control over. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
Page 34 of 39
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Future Financing
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangement
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017, due to the material weaknesses resulting from no director qualifies as an audit committee
Page 35 of 39
financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017, for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and have added four independent members to our Board of Directors, there have been no other significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
