Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE 1 – GENERAL These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal year end December 31, 2022 report. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. The summary of significant accounting policies of Clean Energy Technologies, 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. Corporate History We were incorporated in California in July 1995 under the name Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. We redomiciled to Nevada in April 2005 under the name Probe Manufacturing, Inc. We manufactured electronics and provided services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication, military, and high technology products. On September 11, 2015 Clean Energy HRS, or “CE HRS”, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired the assets of Heat Recovery Solutions from General Electric International. In November 2015, we changed our name to Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 2990 Redhill Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Our telephone number is (949) 273-4990. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Markets under the symbol “CETY.” Our internet website address is www.cetyinc.com and our subsidiary’s web site is www.heatrecoverysolutions.com The information contained on our websites are not incorporated by reference into this document, and you should not consider any information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this document. The Company has four reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS), CETY Europe, and the legacy electronic manufacturing services (Electronic Assembly) division and CETY HK. 8 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 equity of $ 6,001,109 and a working capital of $ 2,377,048 as of March 31, 2023. The company also had an accumulated deficit of $ 18,350,395 as of March 31, 2023. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations. Plan of Operation Our mission is to be a leader in the zero-emission revolution by providing eco-friendly energy solutions, clean energy fuels, and alternative electric power for small to mid-sized projects across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Limited (“CETY HK”) consists of two business ventures in mainland China:(i) our natural gas (“NG”) trading operations sourcing and suppling NG to industries and municipalities. NG is principally used for heavy truck refueling stations and urban or industrial users. We purchase large quantities of NG from large wholesale NG depots at fixed prices which are prepaid for in advance at a discount to market. We sell the NG to our customers at fixed prices or prevailing daily spot prices for the duration of the contracts; and (ii) our planned joint venture with a large state-owned gas enterprise in China called Shenzhen Gas (Hong Kong) International Co. Ltd. (“Shenzhen Gas”), acquiring natural gas pipeline operator facilities, primarily located in the southwestern part of China. Our planned joint venture with Shenzhen Gas plans to acquire, with financing from Shenzhen Gas, natural gas pipeline operator facilities with the goal of aggregating and selling the facilities to Shenzhen Gas in the future. According to our Framework Agreement with Shenzhen Gas, we will be required to contribute $8 million to the joint venture which plans to raise those funds in future rounds of financing. The terms of the joint venture are subject to the execution of definitive agreements. NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES : The summary of significant accounting policies of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (formerly Probe Manufacturing, Inc.) is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves. 9 Cash and Cash Equivalents We maintain the majority of our cash accounts at JP Morgan Chase bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 , (which we may exceed from time to time) 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 Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us. Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts receivable of $ 95,000 . Our policy for reserves for our long-term financing receivables is determined on a contract-by-contract basis and considers the length of the financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable long-term financing receivables of $ 247,500 and $ 247,500 respectively. Seven (7) customers accounted for approximately 98 % of accounts receivable on March 31, 2023. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant. Lease asset As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 we had a lease asset that was purchased from General Electric with a value of $ 1,309,527 , however due the purchase price allocation, we recognized a value of $ 217,584 . The lease is due to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2023 and will generate approximately $ 20,000 per month for 120 months . See note 3 for additional information. Inventory Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $ 897,808 . 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: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES Furniture and fixtures 3 to 7 years Equipment 7 to 10 years Leasehold Improvements 7 years 10 Long –Lived Assets Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time FASB ASC 606-10-25-27 through 25-29, 25-36 through 25-37, 55-5 through 55-10 An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following criteria is met: a. The customer receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-5 through 55-6). b. The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in process) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-55-7). c. The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity (see FASB ASC 606-10-25-28), and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date (as described in FASB ASC 606-10-25-29). Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time FASB ASC 606-10-25-30 If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity should consider the guidance on control in FASB ASC 606-10-25-23 through 25-26. In addition, it should consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the following: a. The entity has a present right to payment for the asset b. The customer has legal title to the asset c. The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset d. The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset e. The customer has accepted the asset A principal obtains control over any one of the following (ASC 606-10-55-37A): a. A good or another asset from the other party which the entity then transfers to the customer. Note that momentary control before transfer to the customer may not qualify. b. A right to a service to be performed by the other party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity’s behalf. c. A good or service from the other party that it then combines with other goods or services in providing the specified good or service to the customer. If the entity obtains control over one of the above before the good or service is transferred to a customer, the entity could be considered a principal. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. In addition a) the company also does not have an alternative use for the asset if the customer were to cancel the contract, and b.) has a fully enforceable right to receive payment for work performed (i.e., customers are required to pay as various milestones and/or timeframes are met) The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle for our HRS and CETY Europe Divisions: ● Identify the contract with the customer ● Identify the performance obligations in the contract ● Determine the transaction price ● Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract ● Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation The following steps are applied to our legacy engineering and manufacturing division: ● We generate a quotation ● We receive purchase orders from our customers. ● We build the product to their specification ● We invoice at the time of shipment ● The terms are typically Net 30 days 11 The following step is applied to our CETY HK business unit: ● CETY HK is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract / promise to provide the specified good or service. Also, from time to time our contracts state that the customer is not obligated to pay a final payment until the units are commissioned, i.e. a final payment of 10 %. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had $ 33,000 and 33,000 of deferred revenue, which is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of year 2023. Also, from time to time we require upfront deposits from our customers based on the contract. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had outstanding customer deposits of $ 284,112 and $ 80,475 respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value: ● Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. ● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s derivative liabilities have been valued as Level 3 instruments. We value the derivative liability using a lattice model, with a volatility of 91.5 % and using a risk free interest rate of 4.5 % The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable, convertible notes payable, advances from related parties, and derivative liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, convertible notes payable and advances from related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reflect: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES DERIVATIVE LIABILITY Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – March 31, 2023 $ – $ – $ 261,639 $ 261,639 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability – December 31, 2022 $ – $ – $ 588,178 $ 588,178 Fair value of convertible notes derivative liability $ – $ – $ 588,178 $ 588,178 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. Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss) We have no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods. The accounts of the Company’s Chinese entities are maintained in RMB. The accounts of the Chinese entities were translated into USD in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations. The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 220-10, “Comprehensive Income (loss).” Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in additional paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. 12 Change from fair value or equity method to consolidation In July 2022, JHJ and other three shareholders agreed to form and make total capital contribution of RMB 20 million ($ 2.81 million) with latest contribution due date in February 2066 into Sichuan Hongzuo Shuya Energy Limited (“Shuya”), JHK owns 20 % of Shuya. In August 2022, JHJ purchased 100 % ownership of Sichuan Shunengwei Energy Technology Limited (“SSET”) for $ 0 , who owns 29 % of Shuya; Shunengwei is a holding company and did not have any operations nor made any capital contribution into Shuya as of the ownership purchase date by JHJ; right after the ownership purchase of SSET, JHJ ultimately owns 49 % of Shuya. Shuya was setup as the operating entity for pipeline natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) trading business, while the other two shareholders of Shuaya have large supply relationships. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has determined that Shuya was not a VIE and has evaluated its consolidation analysis under the voting interest model. Because the Company does not own greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, either directly or indirectly, it has accounted for its investment in Shuya under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investor (“JHJ”) recognizes its share of the profits and losses of the investee (“Shuya”) in the periods when these profits and losses are also reflected in the accounts of the investee. Any profit or loss recognized by the investing entity appears in its income statement. Also, any recognized profit increases the investment recorded by the investing entity, while a recognized loss decreases the investment. JHJ made a investment of RMB 3.91 million ($ 0.55 million) into Shuya during the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 recorded in accordance with ASC 323. Shuya had a net loss of approximately $ 10,750 during the year ending December 31, 2022, of which approximately $ 5,000 was allocated to the company, reducing the investment by that amount. However, effective January 1, 2023, JHJ, SSEN and Chengdu Xiangyueheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd (“Xiangyueheng), who is the 10% shareholder of Shuya, entered a Three-Parties Consistent Action Agreement, wherein these three shareholders (or three parties) will guarantee that the voting rights will be expressed in the same way at the shareholders’ meeting of Shuya to consolidate the controlling position of the three parties in Shuya. The three parties agree that within the validity period of this agreement, before the party intends to propose the motions to the shareholders or the board of directors on the major matters related to the voting rights of the shareholders or the board of directors, the three parties internally will discuss, negotiate and coordinate the motion topics for consistency; in the event of disagreement, the opinions of JHJ shall prevail. As a result of Consistent Action Agreement, the Company re-analyzed and determined that Shuya is the variable interest entity (“VIE”) of JHJ because 1) the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and 2) Shuya is structured with disproportionate voting rights, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Under ASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the reporting entity has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company concluded JHJ is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Shuya effective on January 1, 2023. Under ASC-805-10-50-2, initial consolidation of an investee previously reported using fair value or the equity method should be accounted for prospectively as of the date the entity obtained a controlling financial interest. And the public business entities should provide pro forma information as if the consolidation had occurred as of the beginning of each of the current and prior comparative reporting period. However, Shuya was incorporated in July 2022, and the actual consolidation was effective on January 1, 2023, therefore, no comparative period adjustments are presented for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as they do not exist. 13 Net Profit (Loss) per Common Share Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At March 31, 2023, we had outstanding common shares of 38,495,453 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022 were 37,255,674 and 23,807,336 respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we had convertible notes, convertible into approximately 2,149,991 of additional common shares, 617,000 common stock warrants. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were withheld from the calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022 as they were considered anti-dilutive. Research and Development We had no amounts of research and development R&D expense during the three & three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. 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 four reportable segments: Clean Energy HRS (HRS), CETY Europe, CETY HK and engineering & 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. 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. Selected Financial Data : SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT REPORTING 2023 2022 for the three months ended March, 31 2023 2022 Net Sales Manufacturing and Engineering 0 32,280 Clean Energy HRS 5,194 441,193 CETY HK 2,886,065 267,966 CETY Europe 5,748 33,827 Total Sales 2,897,007 775,266 Segment income and reconciliation before tax Manufacturing and Engineering 0 23,986 Clean Energy HRS 90 400,487 CETY HK 155,441 60,733 CETY Europe 5,038 28,986 Total Segment income 160,569 514,193 Reconciling items General and Administrative expense 88,891 92,935 Salaries 218,237 191,217 Travel 71,662 27,734 Professional Fees 88,210 64,853 Facility lease and Maintenance 122,779 88,962 Consulting 167,683 25,803 Depreciation and Amortization 5,949 7,519 Change in derivative liability 326,539 16,014 Other Income 79,154 ( 9,335 ) Interest and Financing fees ( 837,391 ) ( 132,470 ) Net Loss before income tax ( 1,034,541 ) ( 110,622 ) 14 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. For the “risk-free interest rate,” we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90-day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the Company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20-trading-day average. At the time of grant, the share-based compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly. It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares. The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and, if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share-based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 we had $ 0 in share-based expense, due to the issuance of common stock. As of March 31, 2023, we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized. 15 Income Taxes Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception of Clean Energy Technologies. On December 22, 2018 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 using a Federal Tax Rate of 21 % and an estimated state of California rate of 9% . Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5. Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. As of March 31, 2023, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $( 8,275,877 ) and a deferred tax asset of $ 2,482,763 using the statutory rate of 30 %. 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 a valuation allowance of $( 2,482,763 ). 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. On March 31, 2023 the Company did not take any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740. SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Deferred Tax Asset $ ( 2,482,763 ) ( 2,482,763 ) Valuation Allowance ( 2,482,763 ) ( 2,482,763 ) Deferred Tax Asset (Net) $ - $ - On February 13, 2018, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant” or “Corporation”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and between MGW Investment I Limited (“MGWI”) and the Corporation. The Corporation received $ 907,388 in exchange for the issuance of 302,462,667 restricted shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $ .001 per share (the “Common Stock”). On February 13, 2018, the Corporation and Confections Ventures Limited. (“CVL”) entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement,” together with the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the “Financing”) pursuant to which the Corporation issued to CVL a convertible promissory Note (the “CVL Note”) in the principal amount of $ 939,500 with an interest rate of 10 % per annum interest rate and a maturity date of February 13, 2020. The CVL Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at $ 0.12 per share, as adjusted as provided therein. This note was assigned to MGW Investments. This resulted in a change in control, which limited the net operating to that date forward. We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and the states of California. Further, the Company currently has no open tax years’ subject to audit prior to December 31, 2015 . The Company is current on its federal and state tax returns. 16 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. Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company is reviewing the effects of following recent updates. The Company has no expectation that any of these items will have a material effect upon the financial statements. Update 2021-03—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting Alternative For Evaluating Triggering Events. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance as of March 30, 2021. Update 2021-01—Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses [codified as Accounting Standards Codification Topic (ASC) 326]. ASC 326 adds to US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. This will become effective in January 2023 and will have minimal impact on the company. Update 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. We do not expect any material impact on our financials because of the adoption of this update. Deferred Stock Issuance Costs Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be performed within one year. These costs are netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, $ 549,225 of deferred stock issuance costs were capitalized and will be recognized with the $ 204,556 of deferred stock issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Amounts outstanding under the agreement bear interest at the rate of 2.5 % annually. It is secured by the assets of the Company. In addition, it is personally guaranteed by Kambiz Mahdi, our Chief Executive Officer. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance was $ 776,588 compared to $ 998,820 at December 31, 2022. On April 1, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the purchase order financing agreement with DHN Capital, LLC dba Nations Interbanc. Nations Interbanc has lowered the accrued fees balance by $ 275,000.00 as well as the accrual rate to 2.25 % per 30 days. As a result, CETY has agreed to remit a minimum monthly payment of $ 25,000 by the final calendar day of each month. On September 11, 2015, our CE HRS subsidiary issued a promissory note in the initial principal amount $ 1,400,000 and assumed a pension liability of $ 100,000 , for a total liability of $ 1,500,000 , in connection with our acquisition of the heat recovery solutions, or HRS, assets of General Electric International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GEII”), including intellectual property, patents, trademarks, machinery, equipment, tooling and fixtures. The note bears interest at the rate of 2.66 % per annum.

CETY stopped making payments and informed GE that it had encountered difficulties because of the valuations of the assets that were acquired from GE. Given that the values of the assets were different than GE’s internal reports and as we discussed at the time of the transaction with GE’s management, we proposed a change in the amount the Company owes GE under the purchase agreement, but GE was non-responsive, and GE’s entire distributed power vertical has been divested. Based on the California Statute of Limitations, the Nevada Statute of Limitations, and the New York Statute of Limitations it is the view of our legal counsel that the above referenced debt is no longer an enforceable obligation. under California law, Nevada law, and New York law, as it became past due no later than November 3, 2016, more than Six (6) years ago and last payment made on the debt was on November 3, 2016, which is more than Six (6) years ago.

ASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted the above ASU as of January 1, 2019. The right of use asset and lease liability have been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, utilizing a 5 % average borrowing rate and the company is utilizing the transition relief and “running off” on current leases. Severance Benefits Mr. Mahdi will receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Mahdi would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or One (1) year, whichever is greater.

NOTE 16 – THE STATUTORY RESERVES The Company’s ability to pay dividends primarily depends on it receiving funds from its subsidiaries. PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of the subsidiary’s retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries. In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment and their articles of association, a foreign-invested enterprise (“FIE”) established in the PRC is required to provide statutory reserves, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the FIE’s PRC statutory accounts. An FIE is required to allocate at least 10 % of its annual after-tax profit to the surplus reserve until such reserve reaches 50 % of its respective registered capital based on the FIE’s PRC statutory accounts. Appropriations to other funds are at the discretion of the BOD for all FIEs. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. Additionally, shareholders of an FIE are required to contribute capital to satisfy the registered capital requirement of the FIE. Until such a contribution of capital is satisfied, the FIE is not allowed to repatriate profits to its shareholders, unless otherwise approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Additionally, in accordance with the Company Laws of the PRC, a domestic enterprise is required to provide surplus reserve at least 10 % of its annual after-tax profit until such reserve has reached 50 % of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A domestic enterprise is also required to have a discretionary surplus reserve, at the discretion of the BOD, from the profits determined in accordance with the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. Appropriation to such reserve by the Company is based on profit arrived at under PRC accounting standards for business enterprises for each year. The profit arrived at must be set off against any accumulated losses sustained by the Company in prior years, before allocation is made to the statutory reserve. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. Technology was established as domestic enterprises and therefore is subject to the above-mentioned restrictions on distributable profits. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations that require annual appropriations of 10 % of after-tax income to be set aside prior to payment of dividends as general reserve fund, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company as a dividend. In addition, according to Administrative Measures for the Collection and Utilization of Enterprise Work Safety Funds issued by the PRC Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Work Safety, for the companies with dangerous goods production or storage, the company is required to make a special reserve for the use of enhancing and improving its safe production conditions. Under PRC GAAP, the reserve is recorded as selling expense; however, under US GAAP, since the expense has not been incurred and the Company will record cost of sales for safety related expenses when it is actually happened or incurred, this special reserve was recorded as an appropriation of its after-tax income. The reserve is calculated at a rate of 15 % of total sales.

Electronic Manufacturing Business - our legacy electronics manufacturing business that do not contribute significantly to our revenues or business plan that we are required to report as a separate accounting entity. 31 CETY HK Which is the parent company of our NG trading operations in China, as well as our planned joint venture to acquire NG distribution systems depots and transmission systems. Prior to the first quarter of 2022, the Company had three reportable segments but added the CETY HK segment to reflect its recent new businesses in China. Summary of Operating Results the three months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the same period in 2022 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 equity of $6,001,109 and a working capital of $2,377,048 as of March 31, 2023, The company also had an accumulated deficit of $18,350,395 as of March 31, 2023 and used $641,092 in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its goals and reach profitable operations and is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, our total revenue was $2,897,007 compared to $775,266 for the same period in 2022, which represents revenue growth of 373%. Our first quarter 2023 total revenue has already exceeded the total revenue of the entire year of 2022. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, our gross profit was $160,569 compared to $514,192 for the same period in 2022. Despite highly volatile natural gas (NG) prices, CETY was able to protect downside risks while scaling up the NG trading operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our operating expense was $763,412 compared to $499,023 for the same period in 2022. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $1,073,858 compared to $112,588 for the same period in 2022 due to increased interest and financing fees and marketing campaign expenses attributed to CETY’s Nasdaq up-listing efforts. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, stockholder’s equity was $6,001,109 compared to $1,878,196 in December 31, 2022. This is a result of the offering related to the Nasdaq up-list as well as debt conversions and write-offs. CETY has successfully repositioned itself and created 4 different business segments to create a larger, more stable, and more diversified revenue stream that could scale up. The 4 segments are Clean Energy HRS (Heat Recovery), Waste-to-Energy (Pyrolysis Plant), Engineering Procurement and Consulting (EPC), and CETY HK (NG trading and acquisitions). First quarter revenue was mainly contributed by NG trading. The revenue in this segment is expected to continue to scale up which will help establish CETY as a player in the China market and allows cross-selling of CETY products and solutions. CETY expects larger revenue contribution from Waste-to-Energy, Heat Recovery, and EPC in the latter of this year which are higher gross margin segments. Our pilot Waste-to-Energy plant in Vermont which integrates all of CETY’s technologies and expertise into a single solution, is progressing steadily with updates coming soon. There is a growing market for Heat Recovery in the U.S. and Europe, and CETY HK has begun cross-selling Heat Recovery products in China. CETY is also gearing up for the EPC segment to implement holistic self-generation solutions globally. 32 Management believes this 4 segment strategy has created many operational synergies and cross-selling opportunities across different markets. The breakneck revenue growth that was demonstrated this quarter is a direct result of this strategy as we have exceeded the revenues of the entire year of 2022. CETY believes that it will continue to deliver growth on all segments this year due to our belief that there is an optimistic industry macro backdrop. The main macro factor benefiting us is the global commitment to push renewable energy to the forefront from governments across the world. This is evidenced by the Paris Agreement and COP26. The Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress in August 2022 had specific provisions that can take advantage of CETY’s products and solutions. Another catalyst that will potentially help our Company, is a continuously improving global supply chain as U.S. and European markets have begun to return normal levels post COVID and China has reopened its borders. The European energy crisis has given rise to the opportunity for CETY to sell more of its products and solutions as customers are in search of self-generation capabilities in renewable energy. And lastly, as China ends its draconian COVID lockdown policies, CETY was able to resume its growing business in that region. CETY reached a momentous milestone in its corporate history on March 23, 2023, when the company was able to meet all the Nasdaq listing standards and began trading on Nasdaq. Nasdaq trading status increases CETY’s reputation greatly and benefits CETY’s sales plans globally. This also improves the company’s ability to access capital with better terms. CETY expects to and will continue to execute its corporate strategy to build sustained and profitable growth by providing end to end fully integrated solutions and technologies, expand our global sales and marketing, production, research & development, as well as search for synergistic acquisition opportunities.

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 to continue to fund our business operations. Issuance 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 Arrangements 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. 35 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.
