Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies | The 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 Companys principal product is the Clean Cycle TM Our growth strategy is to scale our business by focusing on new market segments & regions in the fuel, incentive and process markets, sell equipment direct and through the global distribution channels, 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 cost. Our initial acquisition in clean energy is the proprietary turbine technology for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)-based heat recovery power systems, which matches our manufacturing and engineering strengths. Our engineering and manufacturing services also provide a source of revenue and assist in providing opportunities for potential business and intellectual property acquisitions. On September 11, 2015, Clean Energy HRS LLC (CE HRS), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (GEII), pursuant to which CE HRS acquired GEIIs Heat Recovery Solutions, or HRS, assets, including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The HRS assets will be used by the Company to manufacture and commercialize Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)-based heat recovery power systems. The ORC system comprised GEIIs proprietary Clean Cycle turbine generator system and integrated power module, together with related components, controls, power electronics, software and equipment. The Company co-located and integrate the HRS assets with the Companys existing engineering and manufacturing business at the former GEII facility in Costa Mesa, California. The consideration for the purchase of the HRS assets was set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8 K dated September 11, 2015. CE HRS issued a three-year promissory note to GEII with respect to payment of the cash portion of the purchase price and CE HRS assumed certain liabilities of GEII related to the acquired assets. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for asset acquisition transactions of this type. In connection with the HRS asset transaction, on September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement (the TCF Agreement ) with ETI Partners IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( ETI ), pursuant to which the Company and ETI implemented a structure to provide for the Company to raise up to $5,000,000 in financing. In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to ETI 104,910,321 shares of restricted common stock, representing 70% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company upon receipt of an initial $500,000 in financing, which occurred during the quarter ending December 31, 2015.

In connection with the TCF Agreement, the Company also entered into various ancillary agreements customary for investment loan transactions of this type. On October 2, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,910,321 shares of common stock to one investor pursuant to the Transaction Completion and Financing Agreement and 4,000,000 to one investor. All such shares were issued to the accredited investors for cash . ETI Capital Partners IV (ETI) acquired a 70 % interest in Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETI) formerly Probe Manufacturing, Inc. for $300,000 in cash. on October 1, ETI Recognized Assets Acquired 2,949,592 Liabilities Acquired 3,589,558 Cash paid 300,000 Non-controlling interest 191,990 Goodwill recognized 747,976 CETI - Push down accounting election Cash Received 300,000 Goodwill recognized 747,976 Equity 1,047,976 As part of completing the acquisition of the HRS assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the TCF Agreement and integration thereof into our business, we changed our name to Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. on November 13, 2015to better reflect the focus of our new business and business strategies. Previously, in March 2013, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition with Trident Manufacturing, Inc., a Utah corporation (Trident) and the shareholders of Trident, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Trident is a full-service electronics manufacturing services company with a 16,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, servicing the industrial, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and medical markets since 2005.As of the Trident acquisition, we recognized $420,673 in goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we impaired the goodwill in the amount of $420,673. 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 stockholders deficit of $1,249,843 and a working capital deficit of $2,012,417 and a net loss of $2,569,936 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $4,875,138 as of December 31, 2015 and used $617,553 in net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach a profitable operating stand and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations. Plan of Operation Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) increase sa es through existing global distribution channels and utilization of direct sales (ii) sell electricity by kWH to leveraging core competencies to acquire technologies and entertain equity opportunities and (i ) 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. Our Products and Services Our main product, the Clean Cycle HRS system, converts heat from variety of heat sources into clean, affordable electricity. Our heat recovery solution system generates electricity from heat with zero fuel required, zero emissions produced, and low maintenance. The Clean Cycle HRS system is also re-deployable with continuous 24x7 operation. 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, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $7,000. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 94% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 and one customer accounted for 55% and no other customer accounted for more than 14% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant. Inventory Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of 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 Depreciation expense totaled $38, 145 and $42,108 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Long Lived Assets Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. Revenue Recognition Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. We have not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product. The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. 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, 2015, we had outstanding common shares of 139,446,765 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 59,583,060 and 25,980,566, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,050,000 additional common shares and options to purchase 75,122 additional common shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive. Research and Development 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 GEIIs 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 GEIIs 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 Companys 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, 2015 and 2014. Segment Information FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting 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 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 awardthe 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, 2015 and 2014 we had $85,450 and $160,000 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of December 31, 2015 we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2015, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5,000,000 and a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,731,293 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 $(1,731,293). 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, 2015, the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740. December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Deferred Tax Asset $ 1,731,293 $ 710,900 Valuation Allowance (1,731,293) (710,900) Deferred Tax Asset (Net) $ - $ - 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, 2012. 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.
