REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and
2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial
statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December
31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others,
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.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
48
Revenue
Recognition for Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time
Description
of the Critical Audit Matter: As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, recognizing revenue from Engineering,
Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreement(s) is based on reasonable measures of progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance
obligation.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit: The related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining
revenue recognition for these agreements was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
Our
audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for revenue recognized from these revenue agreements, among others:
● We
reviewed the contract terms and evaluated that the agreement has commercial substance, given
the related party nature of the transaction, and that all of the considerations have a reasonable
probability to be substantially collected based on supporting evidence.
● We
reviewed and verified the performance obligation(s) in the contract to be a series of distinct
goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer
to the customer.
● We
confirmed the transaction price with the related party and evaluated the reasonableness of
the gross profit margin and budgeted costs allocated to the completion of the performance
obligation.
● We
evaluated whether billing methods were aligned with the satisfaction of performance obligations
guidance under revenue recognition accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
● We
verified whether costs under the input method directly contributed to the completion of the
performance obligation based on audit evidence.
● We
tested the accuracy and completeness of management’s calculations based on supporting
data and audit evidence.
Deconsolidation
of Shuya and Change to Equity Method to Consolidation in 2024
Description
of the Critical Audit Matter: As described in Note 15, effective January 1, 2024, the Company determined that Shuya is no longer a variable
interest entity of JHJ as a result of the removal of Consistent Action Agreements so we begin to deconsolidate Shuya on January 1, 2024
and change from consolidation in 2023 to equity method in 2024.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit: We identified the Company’s enterprise value and consideration paid as a
critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the estimate of the acquisition date fair
value, including forecasts of future revenues and expenses and the selection of the discount rates. Auditing management’s forecasts
of future revenues and expenses as well as the selection of the discount rates involved a high degree of auditor judgment and increased
audit effort, including the use of our valuation specialists, as changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the
value of the purchase consideration.
Our
audit procedures consisted of the following, among others:
● We
read the termination of the Consistent Action Agreements to understand and evaluate the terms
of the transaction to determine that the Company no longer has control and change from consolidation
in 2023 to equity method in 2023.
● We
obtained the Company’s third-party expert valuation report to gain an understanding
of the processes and key assumptions for estimating the fair value of the equity investment
based on the business enterprise value and fair value of non-controlling interest on January
1, 2024 to calculate the gain and loss from the deconsolidation.
● We
utilized our internal valuation specialists to evaluate the adequacy and appropriateness
of the methodologies and assumptions, including the weighted-average cost of capital, the
discount rate, the discounted cash flows method used by the Company’s third-party valuation
expert in developing the estimated fair value of the equity investment as of January 1, 2024,
fair value of con-controlling interest, and to calculate the gain and loss from the deconsolidation.
49
● We
assessed the reasonableness of management’s cash flow forecasts based on historical
results, revenue growth assumptions and expected inflation.
● We
performed independent calculations to test the reasonableness and mathematical accuracy of
the fair values concluded by the Company.
● We
evaluated the qualifications of the Company’s third-party valuation expert based on
credentials, reputation and experience.
● We
assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets
Description
of the Critical Audit Matter: As described in Note 2 and further in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, indefinite-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that
the asset may be impaired. For the Company’s intangible assets, the Company performed a quantitative assessment which involved
determining the fair value of the asset and comparing that amount to the asset’s carrying value. At December 31, 2024, the total
carrying value of the Company definite and indefinite-lived intangible asset was approximately $ 1.8 million.
How
the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit: We determined the assessment of the fair values of the Goodwill and LWL Intangibles
as a critical audit matter due to complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value
of the asset. The fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions such as forecasted revenues, margin and an overall discount
rate, each of which is affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. As a result of the subjectivity of the assumptions,
adverse changes to management’s estimates could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value and trigger impairment
charges.
Our
audit procedures consisted of the following, among others:
● We
specifically tested the estimated fair value of the Company’s China intangible asset
(LWL Intangibles), we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the
fair value methodology used by management and evaluating the significant assumptions used
in the valuation model including forecasted cash flow, profit and loss, growth rate, and
margin.
● We
compared significant assumptions to current industry, market and economic trends, and to
the Company’s historical results.
● We
assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity
analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the China
intangible asset that would result from changes in assumptions.
● We also involved
an internal valuation specialist to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s consultant report and legal due diligence report.

NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :
A
summary of significant accounting policies of Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (formerly Probe Manufacturing, Inc.) is presented to assist
in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s
management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
The
consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such
estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets,
the collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
maintain most 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 , (which we may exceed from time to time) per commercial bank. For the 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.
Credit losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company
adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326),
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss
methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The adoption of the credit
loss accounting standard has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of January 1,
2023.
The Company’s account receivables, prepayments, other receivables and other current assets in the balance sheet
are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has limited customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method
to evaluates the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment on various
factors, including historical experience, creditworthiness of customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and
supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors.
The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be
collected.
Expected credit losses are recorded as allowance for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations.
After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. In the event the Company
recovers amount that is previously reserved for, the Company will reduce the specific allowance for credit losses.
Accounts
Receivable
Our
ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us. Reserves for
uncollectable 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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had a reserve for potentially
un-collectable accounts receivable of $ 95,322 and $ 95,322 . 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 December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
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 December 31, 2024. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured
receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant. Four (4) customers accounted
for approximately 98 % of accounts receivable on December 31, 2023. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.
56
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, 2024 we had a
reserve of $ 934,344
vs. reserve of $ 934,344
as of December 31, 2023.
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 ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Furniture
and fixtures 3 to 5 years
Equipment
5 to 10 years
Long
– Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, and operating lease right-of-use assets,
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability
of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows,
an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair
value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against
the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable,
an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group asset group exceeds its fair value based
on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the periods ended December 31, 2024
and 2023.
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).
57
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
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
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.
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.
58
Additionally,
the above five steps are applied to achieve core principle for our CETY Renewables Division:
Because
the CETY Renewables division is presently engaged in the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of biomass power facilities,
CETY Renewables has developed a process of executing EPC Agreements with customers for this work. In contracting these engagements, CETY
Renewables recognizes revenue according to accounting standards in accordance with ASC 606.
In
recognizing this revenue, CETY Renewables first identifies the relevant contract with its customer according to 606-10-25-1.
●
The entities, together
known as the Parties, approved the contract in writing, through signatures and commitment to the performance of permitting, design,
procurement, construction, and commissioning.
●
CETY’s work product
includes permits, engineering designs, equipment, and full balance of plant specific to permitting, design, procurement, construction,
and commissioning.
●
CETY and customer agree
to a total EPC Contract price.
●
The contract has commercial
substance. The risk associated with this EPC Agreement is that payment of the EPC contract price.
●
Per the EPC Agreement,
CETY expects to collect substantially all of the consideration for its goods and services.
Secondly,
CETY identifies the performance obligations of the Parties in performance of the EPC Agreement in accordance with 606-10-25-14. At contract
inception, CETY assesses the goods and services necessary to deliver the facility in accordance with its agreement with clients. The
agreement specifically laid out all deliverables necessary to achieve the permitting, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
CETY
also looks at 606-10-25-14(A). A bundle of goods or services is also present, in that CETY is delivering all work products associated
with permitting, design, procurement, construction and commissioning of a commercially operable biomass power plant. A biomass power
plant is a distinct bundle of goods or services, so the individual goods or services on their own do not lend themselves to a fully integrated
or functional system.
CETY
in accordance with 606-10-32-1, CETY reviews measurement of the performance obligations. There is no exclusion of any amount of the Contract
Price due to constraints associated with 606-10-31-11 through 606-10-32-13.
In
review of 606-10-32-2A, CETY did not exclude measurement from the measurement of the transaction price any taxes assessed by a government
authority as no such taxes will be due.
In
reviewing 606-10-32-3, CETY evaluated the nature, timing, and amount of consideration promised, and whether it impacts the estimate of
the transaction price.
Finally,
in identifying a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied over time, in accordance with 606-10-25-32,
CETY applies the methodology of 606-10-25-36. CETY adopted and implemented the input method for revenue recognition in accordance with
ASC 606-10-25-33. The company adopts the input method for implementation. CETY recognizes revenue for performance obligations on the
basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation per 606-10-55-20.
For
CETY, the contracts with clients for the construction of biomass power plants are the basis for revenue recognition. In each separate
EPC Agreement, the performance obligations include permitting, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the plant. All
of these work products satisfy Section 606-10-25-27(b) as these work products create or enhance an asset under customer’s control.
Upon delivery of the work product, the customer takes control of the work products and has full right and ability to direct the use of
and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the assets. We recognize revenue over time, using timeline and milestone methods
to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
During
the complexity and duration of the biomass power plant construction projects, CETY will recognize revenue over time, consistent with
the criteria for over-time recognition under ASC 606. This approach reflects the continuous transfer of documents, permits, and the equipment
over to the customer, which is characteristic of long-term construction contracts.
We
have a list of appropriate measures of progress: This is based on milestones achieved, among other measures.
Given
the long-term nature of the projects, CETY regularly reviews and, if necessary, updates its estimates of progress towards completion,
transaction price, and the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations.
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 December 31, 2024 and 2023 we had $ 33,000 and $ 33,000 of deferred revenue, which is expected to be recognized
in the second quarter of year 2025.
Also
from time to time we require upfront deposits from our customers based on the contract. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had outstanding
customer deposits of $ 30,061 and $ 165,236 respectively.
59
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 56 % and using a risk free interest rate of 0.15 %
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and convertible
notes payable. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible notes
payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these 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.
60
Change
from fair value or equity method to consolidation.
In
July 2022, JHJ, a wholly owned subsidiary of CETY HK 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 set up as the operating entity for pipeline natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) trading business, while the other
two shareholders of Shuya have large supply relationships.
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has determined that Shuya is 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 an 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 $ 5000 was
allocated to the company, reducing the investment by that amount.
However,
effective January 1, 2023, JHJ, SSET 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.
The
change of control interest was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification,
referred to as ASC, 805, Business Combinations. The management determined that the Company was the acquiror for financial accounting
purposes. In identifying the Company as the accounting acquiror, the companies considered the structure of the transaction and other
actions contemplated by the Three-Parties Consistent Action Agreement, relative outstanding share ownership and market values, the composition
of the combined company’s board of directors, the relative size of Shuya, and the designation of certain senior management positions
of the combined company.
In
accordance with ASC 805, the Company recorded the acquisition based on the fair value of the consideration transferred and then allocated
the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the Acquisition
Date. The excess of the value of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair value of those net assets was recorded as goodwill.
Any identified definite lived intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives and any identified intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives and goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. All intangible assets
and goodwill will be tested for impairment when certain indicators are present. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of
future revenues and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The valuation of purchase considerations was based
on preliminary estimates that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
61
As
the Consistent Action Agreement did not quantify any considerations to gain the control, the deemed consideration paid is the fair value
of 51 % non-controlling interest as of January 1, 2023. The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration paid and the
fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed on January 1, 2023, the acquisition date.

January 1, 2024, and effective on the same date, JHJ, SSET and Xiangyueheng entered into the Agreement on the Termination of the Concerted
Action Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties released each other from any and all obligations
under the CAA. Due to the Termination Agreement, the Company now holds less than 50 % of the voting rights in Shuya. The Company analyzed
whether Shuya should be consolidated under ASC 810 and determined Shuya is no longer required to be consolidated on January 1, 2024 after
the execution of the Termination Agreement. Accordingly, the Company will not consolidate Shuya into its consolidated financial statements
on or after January 1, 2024.
Net
(Loss) per Common Share
Basic
profit / (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. At December 31, 2024, we had
outstanding common shares of 45,331,537 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic weighted average common shares for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 42,557,118 and 38,447,916 , respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we
had convertible notes, convertible into approximately 5,522,562 of additional common shares, and 6,423,388 common stock warrants, and
1,693,508 preferred shares. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents were $ 0.10 as of December 31, 2024 and were
withheld from the calculation as they were considered anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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: Manufacturing & Engineering services, Clean Energy
HRS (HRS), CETY HK NG Trading, and CETY Renewables Waste to Energy. 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.

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. As of December 31, 2024, we had no further non-vested expense to be recognized.
Leases
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment
to be accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019, and accordingly, modified its policy on accounting for leases as stated below. As described
under “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements,” below, the primary impact of adopting ASC 842 for the Company was the
recognition in the consolidated balance sheet of certain lease-related assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms longer
than 12 months.
The
Company’s leases primarily consist of facility leases which are classified as operating leases. The Company assesses whether an
arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company recognizes a lease liability to make contractual payments under all leases with
terms greater than twelve months and a corresponding right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease
term. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the collateralized
incremental borrowing rate since the implicit rate is unknown. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the lease term
when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such an option. The right-of-use asset is initially measured as the contractual
lease liability plus any initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments made, less any lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leased
right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing as a long-lived asset at the asset-group level. The Company monitors its long-lived
assets for indicators of impairment. As the Company’s leased right-of-use assets primarily relate to facility leases, early abandonment
of all or part of facility as part of a restructuring plan is typically an indicator of impairment. If impairment indicators are present,
the Company tests whether the carrying amount of the leased right-of-use asset is recoverable including consideration of sublease income,
and if not recoverable, measures impairment loss for the right-of-use asset or asset group.
Income
Taxes
Federal
Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception of Clean Energy Technologies.
64
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, 2024 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 December 31, 2024, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $ 35,053,173 and a deferred tax asset of $ 8,189,863 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 valuation allowance of $ ( 8,281,784 ) . 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, 2024 the Company did not take any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.
On
February 13, 2018, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant” or “Corporation”)
entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and between MGW Investment I Limited (“MGWI”)
and the Corporation. The Corporation received $ 907,388 in exchange for the issuance of 7,561,567 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, 2018. 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.
65
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
The
Company’s management reviewed all recently issued ASU’s not yet adopted by the Company and does not believe the future adoptions
of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or the results
of its operations.
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 year ended December 31, 2024, $ 22,750
and $ 11,000 as of December 2023 of deferred stock issuance costs will be capitalized and will be recognized upon the funding of the
offering during the year 2025.

As
of December 31, 2024, the Company reports intangible assets totaling $ 2,653,917 ,
compared to $ 2,662,824 as
of December 31, 2023.
As
of both December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, goodwill amounted to $ 747,976 .
The Company classifies goodwill as having an indefinite life, and as such, it is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing.
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the asset might be impaired. The useful life of goodwill is considered indefinite due to the continued potential to generate economic
benefits from the business acquired. The Company conducts impairment testing based on projected future cash flows of the acquired business
and other relevant factors.
The
LWL Investment balance of $ 1,468,709 as
of both December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is classified as having an indefinite life. This classification is based on the nature
of the investment, which is expected to provide continued economic benefits without a foreseeable end date. The Company conducts an annual
review to assess whether this classification remains appropriate, including evaluating the investment’s ability to generate cash flows
and the continued support of the investment’s carrying value.
The
License balance remained unchanged at $ 354,322
for both 2024 and 2023. The License is considered
to have a finite life, and as such, it is subject to amortization over its estimated useful life. The Company estimates the useful life
of the License based on the legal term and any other relevant factors, such as the expected technological obsolescence or the duration
of the agreement. The amortization of this asset is reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
The Patents balance, after amortization, was $ 82,910 as
of December 31, 2024, and $ 91,817 as of December 31, 2023. Patents are classified as having a finite life and are amortized over their
expected useful life, typically based on the legal protection period, which is generally 20 years from the filing date, or the expected
period of the patent’s utility. The Company evaluates the carrying value of patents regularly to ensure that their estimated useful life
and amortization period remain appropriate. Amortization expense for the period pertains to the systematic allocation of the cost of patents over their estimated
useful lives.
Our
Amortization Expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 8,907 and 26,692 respectively.
Based
on the foregoing analysis of the facts surrounding the Company’s acquisition of LWL, it is the Company’s position that the
Company is the acquirer of LWL, under the acquisition method of accounting.
As
such, as of November 8, 2021 (the acquisition date), the Company recognized, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed in the Business combination.
The
following table presents the purchase price allocation:

met. Since the performance metrics were clearly defined and objectively not met, the contingency is considered extinguished
and no accrual is warranted.

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 an average borrowing rate and the company is utilizing the transition relief and “running off” on current
leases.

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

12-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 4.75% per annum. Under the
Loan Agreement, the $12 million loan shall be secured by (i) two contracts of VRG and (ii) a corporate guarantee provided by the Company
(the “Corporate Guarantee”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, on a continuing
basis, to the Lenders the prompt payment to the Lenders when due at maturity all of VRG’s liabilities and obligations under the
Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders may also convert up to 30% of the amount of loan disbursed into shares of common
stock of the Company, at the exercise price of 15% discounted value of the then-current share price of the common stock of the Company.

the company retains the right to amend the agreement once the cure is completed.
NOTE

NOTE
14 – NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
On
June 24, 2021 the Company formed CETY Capital LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CETY. In addition, on or about the same time the
company established CETY Renewables Ashfield LLC (“CRA”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashfield Renewables Ag Development
LLC(“ARA”) with our partner, Ashfield AG (“AG”). The purpose of the joint venture was the development of a
pyrolysis plant established to convert woody feedstock into electricity and BioChar by using high temperature ablative fast
pyrolysis reactor for which Clean Energy Technology, Inc. holds the license for. The CRA was located in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
Based upon the terms of the members’ agreement, the CETY Capital LLC owned 75 %
interest and AG owns a 25 %
interest in Ashfield Renewables Ag Development LLC. The agreement with CETY Renewables Ashfield was terminated on or about August
29, 2022, and CETY Renewable Ashfield was dissolved.

The
consolidated financial statements have deconsolidated the CRA business unit. The Liabilities of CRA has been transferred to VRG, a newly formed entity. CETY retains 49 % equity in VRG.
On
April 2, 2023 the Company formed CETY Capital LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CETY. In addition, the company established VRG with our partner, SBC. The purpose of the joint venture is
the development of a pyrolysis plant established to convert wood feedstock into electricity and BioChar by using high temperature ablative
fast pyrolysis reactor for which Clean Energy Technology, Inc. holds the license for. The VRG is in Lyndon, Vermont. Based upon the terms
of the members’ agreement, CETY Capital LLC owns a 49 % interest and SBC owns a 51 % interest in Vermont Renewable Gas LLC.
The
Company analyzed the transaction under ASC 810 Consolidation, to determine if the joint venture classifies as a Variable Interest Entity
(“VIE”). The Company analyzed the transaction under ASC 810 Consolidation, to determine if the joint venture classifies as
a VIE. The Joint Venture qualifies as a VIE based on the fact the JV does not have sufficient
equity to operate without financial support from both parties. According to ASC 810-25-38, a reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE
when that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the reporting entity with a controlling
financial interest on the basis of the provisions in paragraphs 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J. The reporting entity that consolidates
a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that VIE. According to the JV operating agreement, the ownership interests are 49/51 and the
agreement provides for a Management Committee of 3 members. Two of the three members are from Synergy Bioproducts Corporation, and one
is from CETY. Both parties do not have substantial capital at risk and CETY does not have voting interest. However, SBC has controlling
interest and more board votes therefore SBC is the beneficiary of the VIE and as a result we record it as an equity investment. Accordingly,
the Company has elected to account for the joint venture as an equity method investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments –
Equity Method and Joint Ventures. This decision is a result of the company’s evaluation of its involvement with potential variable
interest entities and their respective risk and reward scenarios, which collectively affirm that the conditions necessitating the application
of the variable interest model are not present.
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”), JHJ 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. As a result of Consistent Action
Agreement entered on December 31, 2022 the Company re-analyzed and determined that Shuya is the variable interest entity (“VIE”)
of JHJ, and the Company consolidates Shuya into its consolidated financial statements effective on January 1, 2023. The non-controlling
interest of Shuya represents the 41 % equity ownership that is owned by Leishen, and 10 % equity ownership owned by another shareholder.
On
January 1, 2024 and effective on the same date., JHJ, SSET and Xiangyueheng entered into the Agreement on the Termination of the Concerted
Action Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties release each other from any and all obligations
under the CAA. Due to the Termination Agreement, the Company now holds less than 50% of the voting rights in Shuya. The Company has determined
that Shuya no longer constitutes a VIE and the Company will not consolidate Shuya into its consolidated financial statements on or after
January 1, 2024.

NOTE
15 – DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY
On
January 1, 2024 and effective on the same date., JHJ, SSET and Xiangyueheng entered into the Agreement on the Termination of the Concerted
Action Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties release each other from any and all obligations
under the CAA. Due to the Termination Agreement, the Company now holds less than 50% of the voting rights in Shuya. The Company has determined
that Shuya no longer constitutes a VIE and the Company will not consolidate Shuya into its consolidated financial statements on or after
January 1, 2024. Accordingly, starting January 1, 2024, the Company deconsolidated Shuya. Under ASC 810-10-40-5, deconsolidation
of a VIE generally results in recognition of a gain or loss in the income statement. In addition, any retained equity interest or investment
in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value as of the date of deconsolidation. The consideration for deconsolidating Shuya
is $ 0 , the Company used the discounted cash flow method to evaluate the fair value of Shuya and determined that the fair
value of the retained equity interest and noncontrolling interest was lower than their carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recognized
a loss from the deconsolidation of Shuya.
The
Company recalculated the fair value of Shuya as of January 1, 2024 using the income approach at $ 360,560 and recorded a loss of $ 125,148
from deconsolidation of Shuya for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

CETY
HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial
statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate for the first HKD 2
million of assessable profits is 8.25 %
and assessable profits above HKD $ 2
million will continue to be subject to the rate of 16.5 %
for corporations in Hong Kong, effective from the year of assessment 2023/2024.
CETY
HK did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since
inception.
PRC
Under
the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law of the PRC, domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises (the “FIE”)
are usually subject to a unified 25 % EIT rate while preferential tax rates, tax holidays, and even tax exemption may be granted on case-by-case
basis. From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, small and low-profit enterprises with annual taxable income exceeding RMB 1 million
but not more than RMB 3 million, the actual income to be taxed will be at 25 % of annual taxable income, and the corporate income tax
is paid at the rate of 20 %.
The
current PRC EIT Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by foreign invested enterprises to their immediate
holding companies outside the PRC. A lower withholding tax rate will be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between the PRC
and the jurisdiction of the foreign holding company. Distributions to holding companies in Hong Kong that satisfy certain requirements
specified by the PRC tax authorities, for example, will be subject to a 5% withholding tax rate. There were no provisions for income
tax for CETY HK.

The Company evaluates its valuation
allowance requirements at the end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and
considering whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. When circumstances cause a change in
management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is
generally reflected in income from operations. The future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary
difference ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carry forward
period available under applicable tax law. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s PRC operating entities had $ 0.78
million net operating loss that can be carried forward to offset future taxable income for five years from the year the loss is
incurred; the Company’s US parent had $ 34.16
million net operating loss that can be carried forward, for federal income tax purposes, NOLs arising in tax years beginning after
2017 may only reduce 80% of a taxpayer’s taxable income and may be carried forward indefinitely; for California income tax
purposes, the entire NOL of 13.62
million can be carried forward up to 20 years; the Company’s Italy operating entity had $ 112,435
net operating loss that can be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income, losses arising in the first three years
of activity can be offset with 100% of taxable income, after that, tax losses can only be offset with taxable income for an amount
not exceeding 80% of the taxable income. As of December 31, 2024 due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization on these NOLs,
the Company recorded valuation allowance of $ 8.28
million, respectively, against the deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.
As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure
in the financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to significant uncertain income tax positions in other
expense if any; however, there were no such interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
NOTE
17 – 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 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.
85
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 are 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.
NOTE 18 – RESTATEMENT
The Company has restated its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’
Equity for the year ended December 31, 2024 for reclassifying $ 141,709 from shares issued for series E preferred conversion to accrued
series E preferred dividend, the reclassification was for the accounts within the Stockholders’ Equity statement, and did not have
any impact to the total amount of the Company’s total stockholder’s equity.
