PART I

Item 1. Business.

Our Company

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Probe Manufacturing, Inc.) (the “Company,” “Clean Energy,” or “CETY”) headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, designs, builds and markets clean energy products focused on energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable technologies. The Company’s principal product is the Clean Cycle^TM generator, offered by its wholly owned subsidiary Heat Recovery Solutions. The Heat Recovery Solutions system captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity that users can use or sell back to the grid. CETY’s proven cutting-edge technology allows any commercial or industrial heat generators to boost their overall energy efficiency with no fuel, no pollutants and virtually no maintenance. Company’s engineering and manufacturing resources support its heat recovery solutions business, as well as continuing to support other Clean Energy emerging growth companies with their technologies. CETY is positioned to become a worldwide leader in an ever expanding energy efficiency market.

Heat Recovery Solutions was established in 2008 and was acquired by General Electric International, Inc. in October of 2010. Heat Recovery Solutions has a proven technology and is a leader in a billion-dollar heat to power market. On September 11, 2015,On September 11, 2015, CETY acquired all assets of GE HRS and global patents and licenses for reciprocating engines, biomass and turbine applications and merged its legacy engineering and manufacturing facility with HRS.

The core technology is a magnetic lev bearing generator, which requires no oil or lubricant and has no gear box. We have over 100 units installed globally with more than 1 million fleet operating hours in diesel, gas and biomass applications.

Our growth strategy is to scale up our business by focusing on new market segments & regions in the fuel, incentive and process markets, sell equipment direct and through our global distributors, build and lease systems sites in island nations to offset the cost of their diesel fuel & emissions, license patented technology and proprietary process, develop cogeneration and OEM opportunities and develop higher output generators while lowering the cost.

With our focus on Cleantech we’re going to continue to utilize our relationships and core expertise in engineering and manufacturing to identify, acquire and develop leading clean energy and clean technology solutions and products.

On March 15, 2013, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition with Trident Manufacturing, Inc., a Utah corporation, (“Trident”), and the shareholders of Trident, to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident. Trident is a electronics engineering & manufacturing service company with a 16,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility based in Salt Lake City, Utah and has been servicing the industrial, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and medical markets since 2005.

On March 20, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Trident whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident and all its operational assets in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CETY. As a result, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill. On January 2. 2016 we closed the Trident facility in Utah and for the year ended December 31, 2016 we booked an impairment of the Goodwill in the amount of $420,673.

On September 11, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Clean Energy HRS LLC (“CE HRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary CETY. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEII”), pursuant to which the Company acquired GEII’s Heat Recovery Solutions (“HRS”) assets, including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The HRS assets will be used by the Company to manufacture and commercialize Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”)-based heat recovery power systems. The ORC system comprises GEII’s proprietary Clean Cycle turbine generator system and integrated power module, together with related components, controls, power electronics, software and equipment. The Company co-locate and integrated the HRS assets with the Company’s existing business at the current HRS facility in Costa Mesa, California. As consideration for the purchase of the HRS assets, the Company entered into a promissory note with GEII with terms defined in Asset Purchase Agreement (exhibit 10.1) and assume certain liabilities of GEII related to the acquired assets. The cash portion of the purchase price will be paid pursuant to a three-year promissory

note. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type.

On October 9, 2015, Mr. Meddy Sahebi, Mr. Daniel Elliott, Ms. Erin Falconer, Mr. Juha Rouvinen and Mr. William Maloney were appointed as Directors of the Company, to serve until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders and/or until his successor is duly appointed.

On October 12, 2015, Mr. Juhani Taskinen, resigned as a Director of the Company. On December 23, 2015, Mr. Shervin Talieh, resigned as an Officer and Director of the Company. Neither Mr. Taskinen, nor Mr. Talieh’s resignations were the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On September 16, 2016, Mr. Dan Elliote resigned as a Director of the Company. On June 7, 2016, Mr. Kevin Scott, resigned as a Director of the Company. Neither Mr. Elliote, nor Mr. Scott’s resignations were the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Clean Cycle Heat Recovery Solutions; Organic Rankine Cycle Generator Subsidiary

Our CE HRS subsidiary provides clean energy and environmentally sustainable technology solutions to companies through the offering of heat recovery solutions products. The Company’s principal product offering currently is the “Clean Cycle ^TM” generator. The Clean Cycle generator converts heat from a variety of sources into clean, affordable electricity.

Our Clean Cycle^TMORC engine generates electricity from any heat source, typically through a heat exchanger and a closed loop hot water or steam loop directed to the Clean Cycle. The process by which the Clean Cycle generates electricity - called the Organic Rankine Cycle - requires no fuel, produces no emissions, and is closed loop. Our Clean Cycle Containerized Solution has been meticulously engineered to produce reliable power from a variety of different heat sources. The Major components are delivered as a complete turnkey package and include, the Integrated Power Module (“IPM”), Clean Cycle Generator, the Container and the Condenser. We will deliver the pieces completely assembled and ready to connect to each other and the heat source. All the power and flow adjustments are automatically controlled and remotely monitored. Due to the low amount of moving parts the IPM is a low maintenance solution, that requires no oils, no lubricants, no external rotating seals, and does not require manned operation. The whole package (except condenser) is mounted in a 20ft ISO shipping container. The Condenser comes as a separate piece and attaches to the top of the ISO container. Once the Condenser is attached to the ISO Container all that is left to do is attach the container to the heat source, and it is ready to produce energy.

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 $2,268,254 and a working capital deficit of $3,307,374 and a net loss of $1,699,726 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $6,574,864 as of December 31, 2016 and used $513,186 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:

changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in electricity & fuel cost;

the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products and solutions;

our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our customers;

Clean Cycle Turbine Generator - Organic Rankine Cycle

The Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”) is a thermodynamic process where heat is transferred to a fluid at a constant pressure. The fluid inside the generator is vaporized and then expanded in a vapor turbine that drives a turbine generator, producing electricity. The spent vapor is condensed to liquid and recycled back through the cycle.

Its applications include power generation from solar, geothermal and waste heat sources. As per an article published in Distributed Energy, ORCs are most useful for waste heat recovery among these three applications. Waste heat recovery can be applied to a variety of low to medium temperature heat streams. An example of a successful installation is in Marshall Island for Marshall Electric Company to offset engine fuel use and produce additional electricity. The two cycle generators will generate an estimated 184kW of net electrical power from the heat of exiting engines. The clean cycle units, which require no added fuel and produce no additional emissions, are expected to displace 3.5 million liters of fuel and 10,000 metric tons of CO₂. This will be particularly useful in Island nations where the cost of energy is higher and it can offset the cost of their fuel and reduce emissions.

Plan of Operation

Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) increase sales through existing global distribution channels and utilization of direct sales (ii) sell electricity by kWH to Island nations where the cost of energy is higher and it can offset the cost of their fuel and reduce emissions.(iii) leveraging core competencies to acquire technologies and entertain equity opportunities and (iv) license patented technology and proprietary process and develop 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.

Business Model

Our business objective is to design and develop Clean Cycle turbine generators that we can manufacture for direct sale to customers, or license our technology to manufacturers and other producers of specialized applications. Our revenue has and will come from:

Sales thru global distribution channels;

Direct sales revenue from Clean Cycle turbine generators we manufacture in-house or through contractors;

Up-front license fees and on-going royalties based on sales by our licensees;

Sales thru cogeneration or OEM opportunities.

With respect to certain waste heat recovery applications, we also expect to realize revenue through the development, design and installation of power generation systems (inclusive of our Clean Cycle turbine generators as an electricity generator), which could be sold to customers or provided to customers through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Waste heat recovery is the process of using heat generated from another source, such as an industrial furnace, to power our Clean Cycle turbine generators which, in turn, drives an electric motor. We have established a specialized subsidiary company – HRC LLC, of which we own 100% of its equity – to pursue these opportunities.

Clean Cycle Turbine Generators Global Market Overview

The world currently faces fundamental problems with its energy supply, which are due primarily to the reliance on fossil fuels. The economic prosperity of the wealthiest nations in the twentieth century was built on a ready supply of inexpensive fossil fuel and developing nations have continued in the twenty-first century to consume fossil fuel reserves at an ever increasing rate. This has led to worldwide reserve depletions, indicating that both oil and gas are likely to be effectively exhausted before the end of this century. Only coal reserves are expected to last into the next century. Yet even if fossil fuel supplies were unconstrained, their continued use poses its own problems. All fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide, which appears to result in the warming of the earth's atmosphere with profound environmental implications across the globe.

These problems have resulted in the realization that the world must both increase the efficiency of its utilization of fossil fuels and decrease its reliance upon them. Environmental issues related to fossil fuel combustion arose first during the 1980s with the advent of acid rain, a product of the sulfur and nitrogen emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Power plants were forced by legislation and economic measures to control these emissions. However it is the recognition of global warming that presents the most serious challenge because carbon dioxide exists at much higher levels in the flue gases of power plants and major types of industrial manufacturing facilities than sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Although renewable energy capacity offers a hedge against major price rises because most renewable technologies exploit a source of energy that is freely available, many renewable technologies today still rely on government subsidies to make them competitive. Governments may also impose penalties upon companies, such as carbon trading schemes, which discourage the use of fossil fuels or increase its costs by imposing stringent emissions limits.

Given the international concerns regarding global warming and pollution and the need to more efficiently utilize fossil fuels, we believe that there exists substantial worldwide demand and a growing market for our Clean Cycle turbine generators that can enable companies to generate greater amounts of energy from the same supply of fossil fuels and that also reduce the amount of harmful emissions that would otherwise be released from the combustion of those fossil fuels. Our technologies, including our

Clean Cycle turbine generators, could benefit companies by both reducing energy costs and mitigating possible emissions penalties.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is to continue leveraging our currency, relationships and core competencies in waste heat recovery systems for increased sales and equity opportunities.

The Company will focus its waste heat recovery technology to industries that create wasted heat as a result of their manufacturing or production processes. This market is well defined and, according to a recent report published by the U.S. Department of Energy, “The United States industrial sector accounts for approximately one third of all energy used in the United States, consuming approximately 32 quadrillion (a million billion) BTUs of energy annually and emitting about 1,680 million metric tons of carbon dioxide associated with this energy use.” The opportunity in the waste heat recovery market is substantial. The report continues, “A valuable alternative approach to improving overall energy efficiency is to capture and reuse the lost or ‘waste heat’ that is intrinsic to all manufacturing processes. During these manufacturing processes, as much as 20% to 50% of the energy consumed is ultimately lost via waste heat contained in streams of hot exhaust gases and liquids, as well as through heat conduction, convection, and radiation from hot equipment surfaces and from heated product streams. In some cases, such as industrial furnaces, waste heat recovery can improve energy efficiency by 10% to as much as 50%.”

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.

Competition

The competitors with our Cycle Generators are ORC manufacturers such as Turboden , Ormat and some start-ups with less than 5 installations and some engine competitors aligning with ORC such as Wartsila, Caterpillar and Cummins. We believe that Clean Energy HRS is an industry leader within the small scale ORC applications.

Employees

We presently have approximately 12 employees, including production, program management, materials management, engineering, sales, quality, and administrative and management personnel. We have never experienced work stoppages, and are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

Government Regulation

Our operations, and the operations of businesses that we may acquire, are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. We believe we operate in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements. Material cost may rise due to additional manufacturing cost of raw or made parts with the application of new regulations. Our liabilities may also increase due to additional regulations imposed by foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. In addition, our past, current and future operations and those of businesses we acquire, may give rise to claims of exposure by employees or the public or to other claims or liabilities relating to environmental, waste management or health and safety concerns.

Our markets can be positively or negatively impacted by the effects of governmental and regulatory matters. We are affected not only by energy policy, laws, regulations and incentives of governments in the markets into which we sell, but also by rules, regulations and costs imposed by utilities. Utility companies or governmental entities could place barriers on the installation of our product or the interconnection of the product with the electric grid. Further, utility companies may charge additional fees to customers who install on-site power generation, thereby reducing the electricity they take from the utility, or for having the capacity to use power from the grid for back-up or standby purposes. These types of restrictions, fees or charges could hamper

the ability to install or effectively use our products or increase the cost to our potential customers for using our systems in the future. This could make our systems less desirable, thereby adversely affecting our revenue and profitability potential. In addition, utility rate reductions can make our products less competitive which would have a material adverse effect on our future operations. These costs, incentives and rules are not always the same as those faced by technologies with which we compete. However, rules, regulations, laws and incentives could also provide an advantage to our Heat Recovery Solutions as compared with competing technologies if we are able to achieve required compliance at a lower cost when our Clean Cycle turbine generators are commercialized. Additionally, reduced emissions and higher fuel efficiency could help our future customers combat the effects of global warming. Accordingly, we may benefit from increased government regulations that impose tighter emission and fuel efficiency standards

Item 1a. Risk Factors.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. We reserve the right not to provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND/OR REDUCE OUR OPERATING COSTS SUFFICIENTLY, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS AND MAY ULTIMATELY CEASE TO EXIST.

Going Concern

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES; THEREFORE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING NEEDED FOR WORKING CAPITAL, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.

As of December 31, 2016, we had current liabilities of $4,595,393. Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.

We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with covenants in our revolving lines of credit, we will be in default.

IF DEMAND FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT THE COMPANY OFFERS SLOWS OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE MATERIALLY AFFECTED.

Demand for products which it intends to sell depends on many factors, including:


	•		the economy, and in periods of rapidly declining economic conditions, customers may defer luxury purchases or may choose alternate products.

	•		the competitive environment in the heat to power sectors may force us to reduce prices below our desired pricing level or increase promotional spending;

	•		our ability to maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of the products and services; and,
	•		All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the products and services that we offer, which could adversely affect our sales, cash flows and overall financial condition.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR SALES, OPERATING PROFITS, OR BOTH.

The Energy Efficiency market is large, competitive and diverse, and is serviced by many companies, whereby we compete with numerous domestic and foreign firms.

WE MAY LOSE OUT TO LARGER AND BETTER-ESTABLISHED COMPETITORS.

The alternative power industry is intensely competitive. Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources as well as greater experience in the industry than we have. Our products may not be competitive with other technologies, both existing at the current time and in the future. If this happens, our sales and revenues will decline, or fail to develop at all. In addition, our current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships with larger companies to gain access to greater development or marketing resources. Competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share.

OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE DISPLACED BY NEWER TECHNOLOGY.

The alternative power industry is undergoing rapid and significant technological change. Third parties may succeed in developing or marketing technologies and products that are more effective than those developed or marketed by us, or that would make our technology obsolete or non-competitive. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond quickly to technological changes. We may not have the resources to do this.

WE MUST HIRE QUALIFIED ENGINEERING, DEVELOPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PERSONNEL.

We cannot be certain that we can attract or retain a sufficient number of highly qualified mechanical engineers, industrial technology and manufacturing process developers and professional services personnel. To deploy our products quickly and efficiently, and effectively maintain and enhance them, we will require an increasing number of technology developers. We expect customers that license our technology will typically engage our professional engineering staff to assist with support, training, consulting and implementation. We believe that growth in sales depends on our ability to provide our customers with these services and to attract and educate third-party consultants to provide similar services. As a result, we plan to hire professional services personnel to meet these needs. New technical and professional services personnel will require training and education and it will take time for them to reach full productivity. To meet our needs for engineers and professional services personnel, we also may use costlier third-party contractors and consultants to supplement our own staff. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, particularly because our technology is specialized and only a limited number of individuals have acquired the needed skills. Additionally, we will rely on third-party implementation providers for these services. Our business may be harmed if we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with third-party implementation providers.

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF REQUIRED COMPONENTS. IN ADDITION, WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS TO PROCURE OUR PARTS FOR PRODUCTION WHICH IF AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS BECOMES COMPROMISED IT COULD ADD TO OUR COST OF GOODS SOLD AND AFFECT OUR REVENUE GROWTH.

At various times, there have been shortages of some of the components that we use, as a result of strong demand for those components or problems experienced by suppliers. These unanticipated component shortages have resulted in curtailed production or delays in production, which prevented us from making scheduled shipments to customers in the past and may do so in the future. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in our sales and an increase in our costs and could adversely affect our relationship with existing customers as well as prospective customers. Component shortages may also increase our cost of goods sold because we may be required to pay higher prices for components in short supply and redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate substitute components.

OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, IN THE AGGREGATE, BENEFICIALLY OWN MORE THAN 50% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND THESE SHAREHOLDERS, IF ACTING TOGETHER, WILL BE ABLE TO EXERT SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER ALL MATTERS REQUIRING APPROVAL OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

Our principal shareholders, directors and executive officers in the aggregate, beneficially own more than 50% our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, fundamental corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, the sale of the company, and other matters involving the direction of our business and affairs and specifically the ability to determine the members of our board of directors. (See “Principal Shareholders”).

THE MAJORITY OF OUR SALES COME FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH WHOM WE DO NOT HAVE LONG TERM CONTRACTS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.

Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 77% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 360 days.

IF WE LOSE KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. FURTHER, WE WILL NEED TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL SKILLED MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DO SO, OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO GROW COULD BE HARMED.

Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our executive officers. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of any of our executive officers. In order to manage our growth, we will need to recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to continue to grow could be harmed. Although a number of companies in our industry have implemented workforce reductions, there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS AND UNEXPECTED COSTS THAT WE MAY INCUR WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL LOSS CONTINGENCIES, THE QUANTIFICATION OF WHICH CANNOT BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances in the ordinary course of our manufacturing process. If more stringent compliance or cleanup standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or the results of future testing and analyses at our current or former operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for the release of hazardous substances, we may be subject to additional remediation liability. Further, additional environmental matters may arise in the future at sites where no problem is currently known or at sites that we may acquire in the future. Currently unexpected costs

that we may incur with respect to environmental matters may result in additional loss contingencies, the quantification of which cannot be determined at this time.

AS AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” UNDER THE JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT (THE “JOBS ACT”), THE COMPANY IS PERMITTED TO RELY ON EXEMPTIONS FROM CERTAIN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS.

CETY qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, it is permitted to, and intends to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as the Company is an emerging growth company, it will not be required to:


	•		have an auditor report on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
	•		comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
	•		submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
	•		disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company will remain an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years, although if the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, it would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31, or if its annual revenues exceed $1 billion, it would cease to be an emerging growth company the following fiscal year, or if it issues more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, the Company would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately.

RISKS ABOUT OUR STOCK

SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RESTRICTIONS WHICH CREATES A LACK OF LIQUIDITY AND MAKE TRADING DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE.

Our shares of common stock are traded in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the OTC Markets. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks (generally) are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:

· Deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC;

· Provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

· Explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

· Provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account;

· Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser; and

· Provide a written agreement to the transaction.

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares.

OUR SECURITIES ARE THINLY TRADED WHICH DOES NOT PROVIDE LIQUIDITY FOR OUR INVESTORS.

Our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheet SEC Reporting level. The OTC Markets is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the OTC Markets are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The Securities and Exchange Commission's order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.

Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade over-the-counter bulletin board securities. As a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times that you may wish. Furthermore, when investors place market orders to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.

THE MARKET PRICE AND TRADING VOLUME OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including for reasons unrelated to our specific performance, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions, or negative announcements by customers, or competitors regarding their own performance, as well as general economic and industry conditions. In addition, when the market price of a company’s shares drops significantly, stockholders could institute securities class action lawsuits against the company. A lawsuit against us could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources.

IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds. Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and may require attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountants. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants.

COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC regulations, have significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE; THEREFORE, YOU MAY NEVER SEE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT.

We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any profits from our operations will be devoted to our future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available and other factors.

Going Concern

Summary of Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had a net loss of $1,699,726 compared to a net loss of $2,569,927 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in the net loss in 2016 was mainly due to the sales in the Heat Recovery division at an increased profit margin. In addition, we recognized an impairment of the goodwill from the Trident acquisition in the amount of $420,673 in 2015 as well as a decrease in our general and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our revenue was $2,047,333 compared to $2,355,021 for the same period in 2015, For the year ended December 31, 2016, our cost of goods sold was 63% compared to 72% for the same period in 2015, mainly due to the decrease material cost as a percent of sales.

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 December 31, 2016, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 96% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.

Inventory

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, 2016, 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 December 31, 2016, we had outstanding common shares of 155,178,083 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 142,572,730 and 59,583,060, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, 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 43,376,000 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 curtailed all research and development and were focusing our business on its core business of electronics contract manufacturing.

However, on September 11, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Clean Energy HRS LLC (“CE HRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEII”), pursuant to which the Company acquired GEII’s Heat Recovery Solutions (“HRS”) assets, including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The HRS assets will be used by the Company to manufacture and commercialize Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”)-based heat recovery power systems. The ORC system comprises GEII’s proprietary Clean Cycle turbine generator system and integrated power module, together with related components, controls, power electronics, software and equipment. The Company co-locate and integrated the HRS assets with the Company’s existing business at the current HRS facility in Costa Mesa, California. We are in the process of analyzing this segment and research and development requirements.

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 expenses in Research and Development Costs during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

The following table summarizes certain items in the statements of operations as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and discussion below should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

Net Sales

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our revenue was $2,047,333 compared to $2,355,021 for the same period in 2015. Our revenue decreased by $307,688 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Our revenue decreased mainly due to a move to a new building and nonoperational for several months, and establishing a new sales strategy for newly acquired HRS assets.

Major Customers

Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 77% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 71%, for the same period in 2015. 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.

Gross Profit

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our gross profits increased to 37% from 28% for the same period in 2015. Our gross profits could vary from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component availability and costs, pricing, competition, customer requirements and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges and potential scrap of materials.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our SG&A expense was 26% compared to 27% for the same period in 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in SG&A expenses included the transition services agreement from General Electric.

Salaries Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our Salaries expense was 46% compared to 57% for the same period in 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in salaries expenses included the transition services agreement from General Electric.

Professional fees Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our Professional fees expense was 8% compared to 2% for the same period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to the increase in audit related fees and increases in our legal fees.

Moving expense

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our Facility Lease expense was 4% compared to 2% for the same period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to the restoration of the facility inherited from the General Electric facility lease included in the asset purchase.

Share Based Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our share based expense was 6% compared to 4% for the same period in 2015.

Net (Loss) from operations

Loss on impairment of Inventory

On January 2, 2015 we closed the Trident facility in Utah and as for the year ended December 31, 2015 we booked an impairment of the Inventory of $11,508.

Loss on derivative liability

On March 11, 2016, we entered into a three-year convertible note payable in the initial face amount of $75,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 1.46% per annum. It was not convertible until six months after its issuance and has a conversion rate of sixty five percent (65%) of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of common stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion. On September 15, 2016 we issued shares at a price of $.006 per share for a partial conversion of this note in the amount of $15,000. Subsequently, on November 1, 2016 the Company exercised its right to redeem the note, assigned its redemption right to a third-party investor, agreed to amend the conversion price of a replacement note to $.005 per share, and that investor now holds the replacement note in the principal amount of $84,000. As a result we recognized a loss on beneficial conversion feature of $52,621.

Financing Fees

For the year ended December 31, 2016 our financing fees expense was $104,408 compared to $31,667 for the same period in 2015, due to the issuance of convertible notes.

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 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2016. Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a history of operating losses, has limited cash resources, and its viability is dependent upon its ability to meet future financing requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 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.

Goodwill recognized	747,976


CETY - Push down accounting election
Cash Received	300,000

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.

Previously, in March 2013, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Trident Manufacturing, Inc., a Utah corporation engaged in electronics manufacturing services focused on industrial, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and medical markets, in exchange for 1,600,000 restricted shares of our common stock. As of the Trident acquisition, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we impaired the goodwill in the amount of $420,673.

Going Concern

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 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 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.

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 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, 2015 and December 31, 2016, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 96% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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

Revenue Recognition

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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 December 31, 2016 and 2015.

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 March 31, 2016 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 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 year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 we had $113,347 and $85,450 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of December 31, 2016 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, 2016, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $(2,0489,37) and a deferred tax asset of $696,639 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 $(696,639). 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, 2016 the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.


	December 31, 2016	December 31, 2015
Deferred Tax Asset	$ 696,639	$ 118,732
Valuation Allowance	(696.639)	(118,732)
Deferred Tax Asset (Net)	$ -	$ -

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.

Reclassification

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

Business Combination and Goodwill

On March 20, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Trident whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill. On January 2, 2016 we closed the Trident facility in Utah and as for the year ended December 31, 2015 we booked an impairment of the goodwill in the amount of $420,673.

Stock Repurchase Program

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

The plan allows the Company to purchase its issued and outstanding common shares in the open market or in negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors as well as being in compliance with 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.

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.

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.

As our company grows, we plan to establish an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. The functions that these committees will perform are currently being performed by our Seven-member Board.

Director Nomination Procedures and Diversity

As outlined above, in selecting a qualified nominee, our Board of Directors considers such factors as it deems appropriate, which may include: the current composition of our Board of Directors; the range of talents of a nominee that would best complement those already represented on our Board of Directors; the extent to which a nominee would diversify our Board of Directors; a nominee’s standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominee’s ability to represent the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole; a nominee’s relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management; a nominee who is accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; and the need for specialized expertise. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. Applying these criteria, our Board of Directors considers candidates for membership on our Board of Directors suggested by its members, as well as by our Shareholders. Members of our Board of Directors annually review our Board of Directors’ composition by evaluating whether our Board of Directors has the right mix of skills, experience and backgrounds.

Our Board of Directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.

Our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to nominate a member for re-election, our Board of Directors will review the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above.

Our Board of Directors also considers nominees for our Board of Directors recommended by Shareholders. Notice of proposed stockholder nominations for our Board of Directors must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We believe that the quality, skills and dedication of our executive officers are critical factors affecting the company's performance and shareholder value. Accordingly, the key objective of our compensation programs is to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent while maintaining an appropriate cost structure. In addition, our compensation programs are designed to link a substantial component of our executives' compensation to the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder value. Finally, our compensation programs are designed to have the right balance of short and long-term compensation elements to ensure an appropriate focus on operational objectives and the creation of long-term value.

To accomplish these objectives, the Board of Directors has structured our compensation programs to include the following key features and compensation elements:

· base salaries, which generally are set below the median of our peer group companies and take into consideration the Company’s cash flow and revenues;

· equity-based compensation, which aligns our executives' interests with those of our shareholders and promotes executive retention; and

· in most cases, both our performance-based and service-based restricted share units will provide for vesting over four years, thereby promoting the enhancement of long-term shareholder value and executive retention.

The Board also generally seeks to compensate its executives through determinable base cash salaries that are sensitive to the company’s cash resources but that also provide for motivational incentive and maintain continuity of management.

The Board seeks to maintain a balance among fixed and variable compensation, cash and equity, and annual and longer-term incentive compensation to mitigate the risk arising from any element of compensation.

Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a standing compensation committee of our Board of Directors at the current time, which is again due to the size of our operations. As our company grows, we plan to establish a compensation committee to address this specific area. The functions of a compensation committee are currently being performed by our Seven-member Board.

Independent Consultants and Advisors

The Board has the authority to retain and terminate any independent, third-party compensation consultants and to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors. During our 2011 fiscal year, the Board engaged the EMCI/Hanover Group (“EMCI”), an independent third-party, as its independent adviser for certain executive compensation matters. EMCI was retained by the Board to provide an independent review of the company's executive compensation programs, including an analysis of both the competitive market and the design of the programs. More specifically, EMCI furnished the Board with letter reporting on the fairness of the employment contracts entered into with our chief executive officer and chief financial, which he reported as both fair and necessary to provide for continuity of management, motivational incentive and economic reward, given the progress of the company for the last two fiscal years. The company paid EMCI $1,000.00 for its consulting services related to the above mentioned advisory services.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

Since our Board is composed of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, our executives are directly involved in all facets of our compensation structure and in the implementation of the long-term executive agreements entered into with our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. However, in determining the fairness, which took into account the company’s revenue growth and the benefit to our shareholders in providing continuity of management at this critical stage in the company’s growth makes, the considerations and recommendations of the five independent Board members..

Fiscal Year 2015 and 2016 Executive Compensation

Summary of Fiscal Year 2015 and 2016 Compensation Decisions

In 2012, the Company achieved significant growth in revenue, as well as in adjusted and GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share. We realized strong revenue growth across all of our market segments, maintaining a diversified and balanced business portfolio. As a result of the company's excellent performance in fiscal year 2011, we decided in 2011 to enter into long-term employment agreement with our CEO and CFO to ensure continuity of management. On October 1, 2015 we entered into a new 2-year employment contract with Kambiz Mahdi our CEO.

Elements of Compensation

We may allocate compensation among the following components for our named executive officers:

· base salary;

· annual incentive bonus awards;

· performance-based and service-based stock incentive awards;

· performance based deferred compensation; and

· other benefits.

As discussed above, a key element of our compensation philosophy is that a significant portion of executive compensation is comprised of long-term elements that encourage our executives to stay with the company, which we believe provides for a stable working environment that ultimately benefits our shareholders

Other Benefits

Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of the company's employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law.

Termination and Change of Control Arrangements

Our CEO and CFO are entitled to certain termination and change of control benefits under their employment agreements. These benefits are described and quantified under the section entitled "Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control."

Compensation Risk Assessment

With the assistance of EMCI, the Board reviewed our compensation policies and practices and determined that our compensation programs do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. While, a majority of the Board is comprised of our executive officers, the Board believes that the design and mix of our compensation programs appropriately encourage our executive and senior officers to focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value. In its review, the Board noted the following features:

· base salaries, which generally are set below the median of our peer group companies and take into consideration the Company’s cash flow and revenues;

· equity-based compensation, which aligns our executives' interests with those of our shareholders and promotes executive retention; and

Family Relationship

We currently do not have any officers or directors of our Company who are related to each other.

_______________

(1) Mr. Bennett was issued an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on February 8, 2007 at $1.73 under our 2006 Plan and an option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock on February 28, 2008. Both option grants expire on February 08, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, Mr. Bennett has not exercised his option grants.

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however, the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly. It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares. The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.

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 years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had $0 in non-vested expense to be recognized.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Director Independence

Business transaction between the company and any executive are prohibited, unless otherwise approved by the Board;
