Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (“Clean Coal”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Clean Coal’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any future period. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2013 as reported in the Form 10K have been omitted.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, liabilities, and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Clean Coal is unable to continue as a going concern. Clean Coal has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2014 with no significant revenues anticipated for the near term. Management believes Clean Coal will need to raise capital in order to operate over the next 12 months. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Clean Coal has also incurred significant losses since inception. Clean Coal’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. Clean Coal has limited capital with which to pursue its business plan. There can be no assurance that Clean Coal’s future operations will be significant and profitable, or that Clean Coal will have sufficient resources to meet its objectives. These conditions may raise doubt as to Clean Coal’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management may pursue either debt or equity financing or a combination of both, in order to raise sufficient capital to meet Clean Coal’s financial requirements over the next twelve months and to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that management will be successful in raising additional funds.

NOTE 3: CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

Construction in progress of $3,212,944 as of March 31, 2014 consists of costs incurred related to the construction of a 2-ton/hour test plant in Oklahoma. The total cost of the project, including testing to take place at a designated site in Oklahoma, is estimated at $4,600,000. Commissioning of the test plant is expected during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company awaits the final round of funding in order to complete the test plant

NOTE 4: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unpaid services provided by a former Officer and Director of the Company totaled $262,652. The payables are unsecured, bear no interest and are due on demand.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the company borrowed an aggregate of $29,017 from Officers and Directors and issued 21,429 common shares in connection with the borrowings. The relative fair value of the shares was determined to be $8,319 and was recorded as a discount to the associated note and was fully amortized to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate outstanding balance of note payable to Officers and Directors was $49,322 and $20,198, respectively, net of unamortized discounts of $0 and $107, respectively. The notes are unsecured, bear interest between 0% and 10% per annum and are due between on demand and September 30, 2014. Aggregate amortization of debt discounts on related party debt for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $8,426.

NOTE 5: DEBT

Convertible Debt

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding convertible notes payable of $1,084,382, net of unamortized discounts of $374,091. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $167,000, net of original issue discounts of $2,500, under convertible notes payable and issued an aggregate of 268,274 common shares for the conversion of $103,358 of convertible debt.

All notes that were convertible during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were accounted for as derivative liabilities (see Note 6). Aggregate amortization of the debt discounts on convertible debt for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $242,209.

Nonconvertible Debt

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding notes payable to third parties of $404,890, net of unamortized discounts of $28,298.

The notes payable of the Company are unsecured, bear no interest and are due on demand. Aggregate amortization of the debt discounts on third party notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $28,298.

NOTE 6: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

During 2013, notes issued by the Company became convertible and qualified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. As a result of the convertible notes outstanding, an aggregate of 142,856 previously issued nonemployee common stock options and 310,863 previously issued common stock warrants became tainted under ASC 815 and were reclassed from equity to derivative liabilities.

As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liabilities was $355,281. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, additional convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $695,000 became convertible. The fair value of these conversion options associated with these notes was determined to be $410,399 of which $308,244 was recorded as a discount to the notes and $102,155 was expensed as a loss on derivative liabilities. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2014, convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $103,358 were converted into 268,274 common shares. The fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with these converted notes was determined to be $101,632 on the dates of conversion. This amount was reclassified from derivative liabilities to stockholder’s deficit as resolution of derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liabilities was $537,767. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $24,126.

The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following key assumptions during 2014 and 2013:

	2014			2013
Expected dividends		-	%		-	%
Expected term (years)		0.10 – 4.67			0.17 – 5.01
Volatility		77% - 154	%		105% - 155	%
Risk-free rate		0.07% - 1.82	%		0.09% - 1.34	%

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
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 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.

Table of Contents

The Company uses Level 3 inputs to estimate the fair value of its derivative liabilities.

The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
March 31, 2014:
Derivative liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	537,767	$	537,767

December 31, 2013:
Derivative liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	355,281	$	355,281

The below table presents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2014:

Fair value as of December 31, 2013	$	355,281

Overview

Over the past decade, Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. has developed processes that address what we believe are the key technology priorities of the global coal industry. We currently have three processes in our intellectual property portfolio:

The original process, called Pristine, is designed to remove moisture and volatile matter, rendering a high-efficiency, cleaner thermal coal. The process has been tested successfully on bituminous and subbituminous coals, and lignite from various parts of the United States and from numerous countries around the world.

Our second process, called Pristine-M, is a low-cost coal dehydration technology. In tests, this process has succeeded in drying coal cheaply and stabilizing it using volatile matter released by the feed coal. Our pilot plant currently under construction is designed to prove this process on a scale that can be expanded to a commercial facility.

Our third process, called Pristine-SA, is designed to eliminate 100% of the volatile matter in the feed coal and to achieve stable combustion by co-firing it with biomass or natural gas. The idea is to produce a clean a fuel that eliminates the need for emissions scrubbers and the corollary production of toxic coal ash. We anticipate that treated coal that is co-fired with other energy resources will burn as clean as natural gas.

Anticipated Benefits of the Technology:

·	Reduction of undesired emissions and greenhouse gases through the removal of compounds that are not required for combustion in conventional boilers.

Cost savings and environmental impact reduction. Our pre-combustion solution is anticipated to be much less expensive than post-combustion solutions such as emissions scrubbers. Not only are the latter prohibitively expensive, they produce coal ash containing the “scrubbed” compounds, which is dumped in toxic waste disposal sites where it may pose continuing environmental risk. Coal treated using our processes may eliminate the need for post-combustion emissions scrubbers and the resulting toxic ash.

Potential use of compounds removed from treated coal. Volatile matter captured in the Pristine process is removed in the form of hydrocarbon liquids that we believe will be easily blended with crude oil or used as feedstock for various products. For example, sulfur, which can be removed using the Pristine process, is a basic feedstock for fertilizer. The harvesting of hydrocarbon liquids from abundant, cheap coal is a potentially lucrative side benefit of our processes.

·	Energy Independence. To the extent that volatile matter is removed from coal, coal’s use as an energy resource is greatly improved, enabling the United States and other coal-rich countries to move towards energy independence owing to coal’s greater abundance.

Development Status:

Pristine process. Pristine process successfully lab tested on small scale and through advanced computer modeling. Construction of larger scale testing facility depends on receipt of additional funding.

Table of Contents

Pristine-M. Construction of pilot plant in Oklahoma underway with completion and testing currently anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, subject to receipt of adequate funding. We have paid $3,212,944 towards the plant and preparation work for the testing and estimated completion will require an additional $1,400,000. An additional estimated $500,000 is required to transport the test plant to AES and complete independent testing.

Pristine-SA process. Pristine SA process analysis is at a very early stage. Further research and development is expected post completion of the pilot plant.

Business Outlook

·	Jindal Steel & Power expected to contract first commercial plant in the fourth quarter 2014 if pilot plant testing is positive. Jindal plans to inspect prototype plant once testing is complete.

·	Several multinational corporations have undertaken due diligence on our processes and have scheduled or are scheduling site visits to the pilot plant in Oklahoma.

·	Numerous discussions continuing with various domestic and international coal producers, mine operators and power plant operators about our technology and its potential application.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Our operating expenses include the following:

· Consulting expenses, which consist primarily of amounts paid for technology development and design and engineering services;

· General and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related benefits paid to our employees, as well as office and travel expenses;

· Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of equipment and materials used in the development and testing of our technology; and

· Legal and professional expenses, which consist primarily of amounts paid for patent protections, audit, disclosure, and reporting services.

Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. We have generated limited revenues from inception to date. We are also in preliminary discussions with companies, business groups, consortiums in the USA and Asia to license our technology, which, if successful, could realize limited short-term revenue opportunities from the signing of technology licensing agreements. Royalty revenue is not estimated until approximately 16 -18 months after the successful testing of the plant, currently anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, and an EPC contract has been signed to build a commercial scale facility.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013

Revenues

We have generated no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we received an initial license fee of $375,000 from Jindal paid pursuant to the signing of our pilot plant construction contract. The balance of $375,000 will be due upon the successful testing of the pilot plant, anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not anticipate additional license revenues until the pilot plant has been successfully tested, and do not expect to receive any royalty fees for approximately 16 to 18 months after an EPC contract has been signed to build a commercial scale facility.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1,322,019 compared to $1,245,202 for the three month period in 2013. The primary component of the operating expenses in both periods was for shares issued for services, officers’ salaries and consulting fees.

We recorded stock-based compensation consisting of options expense and common stock issued for services of $681,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $483,795 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Employees

As of March 31, 2014, we had three full-time executives, and one full-time administrative employee. President and CEO Robin Eves, Chief Operations Officer, Ignacio Ponce de Leon and Chief Financial Officer, Aiden Neary have written employment agreements. Our administrative employee is at-will. Messrs. Eves and Ponce de Leon received no compensation for their participation on the Board of Directors. We have an oral consulting agreement with C.J. Douglas, a shareholder who provides services that support our administrative and accounting functions on a month-to-month basis, at $20,000 per month.

Net Income/Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced net losses of $1,591,801 compared to $1,275,327 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We anticipate losses from operations will increase during the next nine months due to costs associated with the test plant completion and testing, as well as anticipated increased payroll expenses as we add necessary staff and increases in legal and accounting expenses associated with maintaining a reporting company. We expect that we will continue to have net losses from operations for several years until revenues from operating facilities become sufficient to offset operating expenses, unless we are successful in the sale of licenses for our technology once the pilot plant testing is complete.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have generated minimal revenues since inception. We have obtained cash for operating expenses through advances and/or loans from affiliates and stockholders, the sale of common stock, the issuance of loans and convertible debentures and the receipt of $375,000 in license fees from Jindal as described above.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Our primary source of operating cash during the three months ended March 31, 2014, was borrowings on related party debt, third party debt and convertible debt. Our primary uses of funds in operations were the payment of professional and consulting fees and general operating expenses.

Net cash used in operating activities, was $181,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash used of $730,998 for the same period in 2013. Non-cash items for three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $936,396 and consisted of amortization of debt discounts, stock-based compensation and a gain on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of $12,471 paid for the construction of the testing plant. This compares to $2,000,000 paid for the construction of the testing plant during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $191,544 consisting of borrowings on debt of $15,527, borrowings on convertible debt $167,000 and borrowings on related party debt $29,017 offset by payments on debt of $20,000. This compares to $400,000 received from the sale of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Cash Position and Outstanding Indebtedness

Our total indebtedness at March 31, 2014 was $5,901,905, which consists entirely of current liabilities. Current liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, accrued liabilities, short-term debt, convertible debt, related party debt and derivative liabilities. At March 31, 2014, we had current assets of $33,113 in cash. Our working capital deficit at March 31, 2014 was $5,868,792. We had construction in progress of $3,212,944 as of March 31, 2014.

SAIC Energy Environment & Infrastructure (SEE&I), our engineering consultant has tentatively estimated construction costs for each one million short ton coal complete cleaning facility of approximately $120 million (excluding land costs) or costs for a similar size Pristine-M-only facility of approximately $45-50 million (excluding land costs). Under the terms of our consulting agreement with SEE&I, we are obligated to pay to SEE&I a fee representing five percent of all gross revenues received by us from the sale of our technology, the operation of franchised plants utilizing the technology, or revenue received on any other basis that is related to the technology. This fee will remain in effect for a period of 15 years, commencing from the date that we receive our initial revenue stream from operations. All intellectual property rights associated with new art developed by SEE&I remain our property, however SEE&I would have a “right to use” the intellectual property provided it is deployed in non-competitive projects.

Construction of the test plant in Oklahoma is underway with completion and testing anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. We have paid $3,212,944 towards the plant and initial setup for the testing facility and estimate completion will require an additional $1,400,000. An additional estimated $500,000 is required to transport the test plant to AES and complete independent testing. We are currently awaiting the final funding to complete the test plant

Based on our current operational costs and including the capital requirements for our project deployments, we estimate we will need a total of approximately $5,000,000 to fund the Company for the balance of fiscal year 2014 and an additional $5,000,000 to continue for the following fiscal year (2015) or until an initial commercial plant is up and running. Assuming we succeed in testing our plant, we believe we will have sufficient funding to meet both the additional costs of the test plant construction and funding for our operations through fiscal 2014, although we need some interim funding until the test plant is operational. We are also actively pursuing technology license and royalty agreements in order to begin construction of other facilities without incurring the capital costs associated with the construction of future plants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not and do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of establishing off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Therefore, we do not believe we are exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates affecting the return on our investments but do not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to our financial condition or results of operations. We invest primarily in United States Treasury instruments with short-term (less than one year) maturities. The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities. Under our current policies, we do not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates or commodity prices.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. There is a lack of appropriate segregation of duties within the Company, there is no management oversight, no control documentation being produced, and no one to review control documentation if it was being produced. As of March 31, 2014, we have three full time officers of the company. In November, 2013, we employed a Chief Financial Officer who is in the process of implementing financial controls creating a segregation of duties within the Company.

There were no changes in disclosure controls and procedures that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our disclosure controls and procedures. We do not expect to implement any changes to our disclosure controls and procedures until there is a significant change in our operations or capital resources.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were served with a Statement on or about January 23, 2013 in an international arbitration proceeding titled Beijing Deheng Law Firm v. Clean Coal Technologies, Inc., #x20230033, filed with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”). The Beijing Deheng Law Firm (“Deheng”) has filed a claim against the Company for alleged breach of a Settlement Agreement to pay legal fees and costs. As a result of the arbitration, in September 2013, CIETAC awarded the Deheng Law Firm approximately $146,000 representing legal fees, arbitration fees and costs, plus interest to be determined upon payment. At this time, the Company does not intend to contest the arbitration over this legacy issue since legal costs to do so would be prohibitive.

We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a shareholder in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in and for West Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 50 2010CA 028706XXXX MB on or about November 24, 2010. The Company has vigorously defended this action that the Company and its litigation counsel regard as absolutely frivolous, baseless and without merit. In August 2013, attorneys for the plaintiff filed a Fourth Amended Complaint. In December 2013, the Court dismissed one count of the amended complaint but plaintiff’s attorneys filed a request to file a fifth amendment. In January 2014, our attorneys filed a memorandum objecting to the motion to amend. We will continue to vigorously defend the action and we do not believe that the action will be materially adverse to the company. Our attorneys have put the plaintiff’s counsel on notice of our intent to seek sanctions against both the plaintiff, and the plaintiff’s counsel pursuant to Florida Statute Sec.57.105. Further, we have moved to dismiss the action on the basis that the Plaintiff has procedurally, factually, and legally failed to state a cause of action up which relief can be granted.

We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed on or about October 19, 2009, in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Case No. 09-56739 (09). The suit is a dispute for damages arising from a breach of contract involving an unrelated company, but naming Clean Coal. On February 9, 2010, Clean Coal was successful in filing a motion to dismiss the Company and its then- President & CEO, Douglas Hague from this case. The case was re-filed under the same case number in November 2013 but dismissed without prejudice again in January 2014.We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a shareholder in December 2013 in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Case No. 12-030351(05). The suit alleges misrepresentations regarding removal of restricted legends on stock certificates and misapplication by the Company of securities regulations and laws regarding legend removal. The Company is defending the claims but believe they are without merit.
