Notes |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies | Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. established a new CETY Europe Sales and Service Center in Silea (Treviso), Italy established in December 2017. The service center will be operational in November 2018 and will include 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 will also provide 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. The CETY Europe Sales and Service Center will be the warranty and service hub for CETY’s Clean Cycle™ Heat Recovery Solutions (HRS) Waste Heat Generators. CETY purchased the patented HRS technology from General Electric in 2015. The HRS System captures waste heat from a variety of sources such as Reciprocating Engines, Turbines, landfills, composting operations, water, or steam processes, and converts it into reliable electricity without requiring additional manpower, fuel or emissions. The CETY Europe Sales and Service Center will be well suited to handle any warranty and/or service issues. 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 $4,795,694 and a working capital deficit of $6,170,618 and a net loss of $2,810,017 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $11,599,735 as of December 31, 2018 and used $1,442,899 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations. Plan of Operation Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: Growth Strategy Strategy Sales and Marketing 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 proivders. 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. Our Market The market for waste heat recovery is well defined and, according to a recent report published by the U.S. Department of Energy “Waste Heat recovery: Technology and Opportunities in US Industry” and International Energy Agency report, “World Energy Outlook 2012” , “ 20 to 50% of industrial energy input is lost as waste heat.” and “> The advantage of recapturing and utilizing waste heat is that it typically replaces purchased electric power, much of which does and will continue to require burning fossil fuels, or directly replaces fuels which must be purchased and combusted. Thus it actually can directly reduce emissions and eliminate transmission losses. Projections of market potential are truly enormous, with unrecovered waste heat in industrial processes estimated at half a quintillion (a billion billion) BTUs. The Company believes that if it can capture even a small percentage of this market it would have a strong opportunity to reduce exhaust emissions, assist in lowering energy costs of the manufacturers, while growing the Company and its client base. Our Products Organic Rankine Cycle System Using Clean Cycle Generator The Rankine Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that converts heat into energy. The organic Rankine cycle is similar. Heat from an industrial waste source is passed through a heat exchanger where it superheats cold fluid that is vaporized. The vapor is passed through an expansion device (turbine or other expander) which creates electricity, and then through a condenser where the vapor is re-condensed to liquid and cooled. The cycle repeats itself generating energy. We produce an Organic Rankine Cycle system called the Clean Cycle TM heat to power generator through our wholly owned subsidiary Heat Recovery Solutions, (HRS). Our Clean Cycle TM generators create additional power from waste heat with no additional emission and come in two models, skids for use inside a plant or containers for outdoor applications. By using the Clean Cycle TM generator our customers boost their overall energy efficiency. Our product saves fuel, reduces pollution, requires very little maintenance and provides a fast return on investment. We produce a turnkey Organic Rankine Cycle system we call the Clean CycleTM generator. Our Clean Cycle TM generators create additional power from waste heat with no additional emission and come in two models, skids for use inside a plant or containers for outdoor applications. Our customers may use their own heat exchangers or condensers, or we provide these products as part of our integrated system through third party suppliers. We compete based on efficiency, maintenance and our 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. 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. 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. 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, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $57,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 98% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2018. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant. Inventory Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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”). 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. 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 ``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 contract 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 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 2017 and 2018, reflect:
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |  |
Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – December 31, 2017 |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | 244,496 |  |  | $ | 244,496 |  |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |
Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – December 31, 2018 |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | 245,988 |  |  | $ | 245,988 |
The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Other Comprehensive Income We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods. Net Profit (Loss) per Common Share Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At December 31, 2018, we had outstanding common shares of 555,582,656 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 553,354,983 and 209,915,415, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had convertible notes, convertible into approximately 411,446,077 of additional common shares and outstanding preferred shares convertible into 12,226,250 of additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive. Research and Development We had no amounts of research and development R&D expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. 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.

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, 2018 and 2017 we had $353,140 and $2,460 respectively, in share-based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of December 31, 2018, we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2018, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(2,810,017) and a deferred tax asset of $515,944 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 $(515,944). 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, 2018 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

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, 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 and they agreed not to convert the $939,500 note in to shares in excess of the 800,000,000 Authorized limit until we have increased the Authorized shares to the Board approved limit of 2 billion shares. 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.
