BUSINESS Overview Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“the Company” or “SEER”) was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 13, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses, under the name of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc (“SOZG”). In January 2008, SOZG changed its name to Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc., reduced its number of outstanding shares through a reverse stock split and consummated the acquisition of both, REGS, LLC and Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC. SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and environmental, clean-technology businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost effective, and profitable solutions in the environmental, waste management and renewable energy industries. SEER currently operates five companies with its executive offices in Broomfield, CO. Through these operating companies, SEER provides patented and innovative environmental technology solutions and related services throughout the U.S. and has its technologies placed as customer installations throughout the U.S. Each of the five operating companies is discussed in more detail below. The Company also has non-controlling interests in joint ventures, some of which have no or minimal operations. The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s subsidiaries that have well established revenue streams and, simultaneously, establish long-term alliances with and/or acquire complementary domestic businesses in rapidly growing markets for renewable energy and waste and water treatment. The focus of the SEER family of companies, however, is to increase margins by securing or developing proprietary patented and patent-pending technologies and then leveraging its 20 plus-year service experience to place these innovations and solutions into the growing markets of emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale (“RNG”), compressed natural gas (“CNG”) fuel generation, as well as general solid waste and medical/pharmaceutical waste destruction. Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides truly synergistic services, technologies, and products as well as annuity type revenue streams. As an “ESG” company, SEER’s focus is to continue to develop its business in the growing RNG market, concentrate on rolling out is superior and cleaner alternative to incinerating medical waste and pharmaceuticals, and take advantage of the growing global organic fertilizer market. The Company now owns and manages five operating entities and one entity that has no significant operations to date. Subsidiaries REGS, LLC d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”): (operating since 1994) designs and manufactures environmental systems and provides general industrial cleaning services and waste management consulting to many industry sectors. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company ceased bidding on, and accepting contracts for the services division of its REGS subsidiary. The results from the subsidiary are included in discontinued operations for the years ended 2019 and 2018. No contracts have been uncompleted; therefore, the division does not have any performance obligations as of December 31, 2020. Fifteen employees in the division were terminated at December 31, 2019. The Company has sold or is investigating the sale of the remaining REGS assets as of December 31, 2020. Any prospective sales may be used to repay outstanding liabilities of REGS. MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies), (“MV”) : (operating since 2003) MV designs and sells patented and/or proprietary, dry scrubber solutions for management of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in biogas, landfill gas, and petroleum processing operations. These system solutions are marketed under the product names H2SPlus™ and OdorFilter™. The markets for these products include land fill operations, agricultural and food product processors, wastewater treatment facilities, and petroleum product refiners. MV also develops and designs proprietary technologies and systems used to condition biogas for use as renewable natural gas (“RNG”), for a number of applications, such as transportation fuel and natural gas pipeline injection. Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”): (formed late 2010) PWS is an operating company that has developed a patented waste destruction technology using a pyrolytic heating process combined with “non-thermal plasma” assisted oxidation. This technique involves gasification of solid waste by heating the waste in a low-oxygen environment, followed by complete oxidation at higher temperatures in the presence of plasma. The term “non-thermal plasma” refers to a low energy ionized gas that is generated by electrical discharges between two electrodes. This technology, commercially referred to as CoronaLux™, is designed and intended for the “clean” destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e ., hospital “red bag” waste) thereby eliminating the need for costly segregation, transportation, incineration or landfill (with their associated legacy liabilities). PWS is a 54% owned subsidiary. 4 ReaCH4BioGas (“Reach”) (trade name for Benefuels, LLC): (formed February 2013) owned 85% by SEER. Reach develops renewable natural gas projects that convert raw biogas into pipeline quality gas and/or Renewable, “RNG”, for fleet vehicles. Reach has had minimal operations as of December 31, 2020. SEER Environmental Materials, LLC (“SEM”): (formed September 2015) is a wholly owned subsidiary established as a materials technology business with the purpose of developing advanced chemical absorbents and catalysts that enhance the capability of biogas produced from, landfill, wastewater treatment operations and agricultural digester operations. PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”): (formed September 2018) owned 51% by SEER. PelleChar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturer. PelleChar commenced sales in early 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, PelleChar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process. Joint Ventures Paragon Waste (UK) Ltd : In June 2014, PWS and PCI Consulting Ltd (“PCI”) formed Paragon Waste (UK) Ltd (“Paragon UK Joint Venture”) to develop, permit and exploit the PWS waste destruction technology within the territory of Ireland and the United Kingdom. PWS and PCI each own 50% of the voting shares of Paragon UK Joint Venture. Operations to date of the Paragon UK Joint Venture have been limited to formation, the delivery of a CoronaLux™ unit with a third party in the United Kingdom and application and permitting efforts with regulatory entities. P&P Company : In February 2015, PWS and Particle Science Tech of Environmental Protection, Inc. (“Particle Science”) formed a joint venture, Particle & Paragon Environmental Solutions, Inc (“P&P”) to exploit the PWS technology in China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. PWS and Particle Science each own 50% of P&P. Operations to date have been limited to formation of P&P and the sale and delivery of a CoronaLux™ unit to Particle Science in China. PWS MWS Joint Venture : In October 2014, PWS and Medical Waste Services, LLC (“MWS”) formed a contractual joint venture to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology. In 2015, MWS licensed and installed a CoronaLux™ unit at an MWS facility, and subsequently received a limited permit to operate from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the California Department of Public Health. In November 2017, PWS received final air quality permit approval from SCAQMD allowing for full operations of the CoronaLux™ unit at the MWS facility. Paragon Southwest Joint Venture : In December 2017, PWS and GulfWest Waste Solutions, LLC (“GWWS”) formed Paragon Southwest Medical Waste, LLC (“PSMW”) to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology. PSMW has an exclusive license to the CoronaLux™ technology in a six-state area of the Southern United States. In addition to the equity position, PWS is the operating partner for the business and will sell a number of additional systems to the joint venture over the next five years. In 2017, PSMW purchased and installed three CoronaLux™ units at a PSMW facility. 5 Segment Information The Company currently has identified three segments as follows: % of Annual Revenues 2020 2019 REGS Industrial Cleaning * - % 28 % MV, SEM, PelleChar Environmental Solutions 92 % 68 % PWS Solid Waste 8 % 4 % * Reported in discontinued operations. Reach is not currently operating but should operations commence it will be part of the Environmental Solutions segment. The MV RCM Joint Venture is not currently operating but should operations commence it will be part of the Environmental Solutions segment. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, we had two customers with sales in excess of 10% of our revenues. See Item 1A Risk Factors. Financial Condition As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, we incurred net losses, from continuing operations, of approximately $2.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019 our current liabilities exceed our current assets by approximately $9.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Our total liabilities exceed total assets at December 31, 2020 by approximately $8.7 million and at December 31, 2019 our total liabilities exceeded our total assets by approximately $6.3 million. The primary reason for the reduction in total assets over total liabilities from 2019 to 2020 is due to the increase in debt during the year, the interest expense incurred during 2020, and the net loss incurred in 2020 as noted above. Realization of a major portion of our assets as of December 31, 2020, is dependent upon our continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. In addition, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. We continue to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies, diversifying our service customer base and market concentrations and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions, including discontinuing a line of business with insufficient margins. Critical to achieving profitability will be our ability to license and or sell, permit and operate through our joint ventures and licensees our CoronaLux™ waste destruction units. We have increased our business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding domestic markets attributable to increased federal and state emission control regulations (particularly in the nation’s oil and gas fields) and a growing demand for energy conservation and renewable energies. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing that may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. Our financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis. Industry SEER, with its diverse services, technologies, and environmental solution offerings, participates in the worldwide markets of environmental compliance, renewable energy and gaseous and solid waste minimization/management. There are ever-increasing emissions and solid waste regulations, as well as statutory programs at the local, state, federal and international levels that create and mandate the need for renewable energies and waste minimization, proper handling, storage, treatment and disposal of virtually all types of waste. 6 The industrial waste management industry in North America was shaped first by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”), which requires waste generators to, among other things, transport, treat, store and dispose of hazardous waste in accordance with specific regulations. Subsequent to RCRA, growing national awareness of environmental issues, coupled with corporate and institutional awareness of environmental liabilities, have contributed to the growth of the industry and associated governing legislation on the state and federal levels. Today, collection and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes are subject to local, state, and federal requirements and controls that regulate health, safety, the environment, zoning and land-use. Included in these regulations is the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), of the United States. CERCLA holds generators and transporters of hazardous substances, as well as past and present owners and operators of sites where there has been a hazardous release, strictly, jointly and severally liable for environmental cleanup costs resulting from the release or threatened release of hazardous materials. The enactment of the federal Clean Air Act of 1970 (CAA) resulted in a major shift in the federal government’s role in air pollution control. This legislation authorized the development of comprehensive federal and state regulations to limit emissions from both stationary (industrial) sources and mobile sources. The Act has been amended and expanded in scope many times since its enactment and remains a major consideration for safely and responsibly conducting business in the U.S. These and countless other similar regulatory programs mandate the need for environmental services and technologies such as those offered by SEER and its companies. There are substantial barriers to entry in the waste management industry, including the high degree of expertise and training required, regulatory compliance, insurance, and licensing costs and procedures, strict federal, state, provincial and local permitting and oversight processes, and significant capital costs of equipment and qualified personnel. Business Strategy SEER’s operations to date have been fueled by a combination of synergistic and vertical integration, acquisitions, strategic alliances and organic growth. SEER acquired REGS, and MV as wholly owned subsidiaries. In 2015 SEM was created to provide recurring and high-margin revenue to the Company by offering an internal source of diverse media solutions that are required for the treatment of various waste and off gas streams, particularly digesters and landfills. This enables pricing flexibility by the technology solutions affiliates that, in turn, should result in increased sales of systems that leads to greater demand of media. The increased installation and demand for media change outs creates service opportunities for the Company’s service sector. We intend to continue pursuing an aggressive strategy of both acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and organic growth while expanding our geographic footprint into other regions of the United States and foreign markets. Potential acquisitions may include businesses that secure supply chain and vendor logistics or are complementary to our core businesses or companies that provide a similar set of services in regions where the Company does not currently have operations. Upon full development of certain of our patented and patent-pending technologies, we intend to explore licensing relationships with larger, established companies to generate sustainable revenue streams from both domestic and international applications. Intellectual Property MV was issued a patent in 2012 related to “Oil-Gas Vapor Collection, Storage, and Recovery System, etc.” Patent No. US 8,206,124 B1. MV was issued a second patent in 2014 titled “Fugitive Gas Capture”, US Patent No. 8,708,663 B1, that expanded claims in the earlier patent. In 2017, MV was issued a third patent titled “Dry Chemical Scrubber with Ph Adjustment” Patent No. US 9,630,144 B2. The patents will expire in 2029 and 2031, unless otherwise extended. MV is in the process of expanding the scope and number of claims of this issued patent. In 2013, PWS filed provisional and non-provisional patent applications in the name and for the benefit of SEER arising out of and related to its waste disposal technology involving a pyrolitic first phase and a “cold plasma” second phase system referred to as “plasma light,” or CoronaLux™ technology. In October 2014 SEER was issued patent No. 8,870,735 for this CoronaLux™ technology. In 2014, PWS filed a provisional patent related to destruction of volatile organic compounds. A pyrolytic process is basically the decomposition of any material at elevated temperatures in a very low oxygen-containing atmosphere, as compared to conventional incineration or pyrolysis processes. In July 2016 SEER was issued patent No. 9,393,519 for this CoronaLux™ technology. In January 2017 SEER was issued patent No. 9,550,148 for heavy metal control adding to the pollution control aspect of the CoronaLux™ technology. The patents will expire in or around 2033. 7 Competition The industrial services industry is highly competitive. We compete with a number of small and medium size companies in the gas treatment sector. In the face of this competition, we have been effective in maintaining, and in some sectors, growing our revenue opportunities due to the wide range of services we offer, a competitive pricing structure, our innovative and proprietary/patent pending technologies, and a reputation for reliability, built over the nearly 20 years of business operations as well as the care we take in performing and completing each customer project. The medical waste industry is also highly competitive with fewer, but larger businesses in the space and one entity having a dominant position in the industry. In all its businesses, the Company currently holds very small parts of very large and growing markets. MV competes by providing superior hydrogen sulfide (“H2S”) “scrubbing” solutions that result in more cost-effective removal of H2S from process gas streams. H2S is highly corrosive, and is a precursor to sulfur dioxide, a highly regulated air pollutant. Therefore, removing H2S from industrial process waste streams is important in order to enhance the safety of personnel, extend the life of industrial equipment, and to minimize resulting air pollution. In the markets served by MV there are a number of competing technologies employed such as: biological scrubbing, chemical scrubbing, and dry scrubbing with activated carbon. PWS competes by offering a unique on-site, on-demand waste destruction solution, eliminating the need for waste segregation, transportation, incineration, autoclaving and/or landfilling; in turn, eliminating all of the associated costs and legacy liabilities associated with current options for medical waste handling. We believe that the patented CoronaLux™ technology results in a superior option in the medical waste management sector and in ultimate emissions cleaner than other solutions available in the market. Environmental Matters and Regulation Significant federal environmental laws affecting us are the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund Act”, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”). RCRA. RCRA is the principal federal statute governing hazardous waste generation, treatment, transportation, storage and disposal. Pursuant to RCRA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) has established a comprehensive “cradle-to-grave” system for the management of a wide range of materials identified as hazardous or solid waste. States that have adopted hazardous waste management programs with standards at least as stringent as those promulgated by the EPA have been delegated authority by the EPA to administer their facility permitting programs in lieu of the EPA’s program. Every facility that treats, stores or disposes of hazardous waste must obtain a RCRA permit from the EPA or an authorized state agency, unless a specific exemption exists, and must comply with certain operating requirements. The Superfund Act. The Superfund Act is the primary federal statute regulating the cleanup of inactive hazardous substance sites and imposing liability for cleanup on the responsible parties. It also provides for immediate response and removal actions coordinated by the EPA, of the release of hazardous substances into the environment, and authorizes the government to respond to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances or to order responsible persons to perform any necessary cleanup. The statute provides for strict, and in certain cases, joint and several liability for these responses and other related costs, and for liability for the cost of damages to natural resources, to the parties involved in the generation, transportation and disposal of such hazardous substances. Under the statute, we may be deemed liable as a generator or transporter of a hazardous substance which is released into the environment, or as the owner or operator of a facility from which there is a release of a hazardous substance into the environment. 8 The Clean Air Act. The Clean Air Act was passed by Congress to control the emissions of pollutants into the air and requires permits to be obtained for certain sources of toxic air pollutants such as vinyl chloride, or criteria pollutants, such as carbon monoxide. In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act to require further reductions of air pollutants with specific targets for non-attainment areas in order to meet certain ambient air quality standards. These amendments also require the EPA to promulgate regulations, which (i) control emissions of 189 hazardous air pollutants; (ii) create uniform operating permits for major industrial facilities similar to RCRA operating permits; (iii) mandate the phase-out of ozone depleting chemicals; and (iv) provide for enhanced enforcement. Clean Water Act. This legislation prohibits discharges into the waters of the United States without governmental authorization and regulates the discharge of pollutants into surface waters and sewers from a variety of sources, including disposal sites and treatment facilities. Toxic Substances Control Act. TSCA established a national program for the management of substances classified as PCBs, which include waste PCBs as well as RCRA wastes contaminated with PCBs. We conduct field services (remediation) activities that are regulated under provisions of the TSCA. Other Federal Laws. In addition to regulations specifically directed at the transportation, storage, and disposal facilities, there are a number of regulations that may “pass-through” to the facilities based on the acceptance of regulated waste from affected client facilities. Each facility that accepts affected waste must comply with the regulations for that waste, facility or industry. In our transportation operations, we are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as by the regulatory agencies of each state in which we operate or through which our vehicles pass. Health and safety standards under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or “OSHA”, are applicable to all of our operations. Pursuant to the EPA’s authorization of their RCRA equivalent programs, a number of states have regulatory programs governing the permitting and operation of hazardous waste facilities. Our facilities are regulated pursuant to state statutes, including those addressing clean water and clean air. Our facilities are also subject to local siting, zoning and land use restrictions. Although our facilities occasionally have been cited for regulatory violations, we believe we are in substantial compliance with all federal, state and local laws regulating our business. Income/Payroll Taxes In 2009 and 2010, REGS, a subsidiary of the Company, became delinquent for unpaid federal employer and employee payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties related to the unpaid payroll taxes. In or around 2010, REGS retained Washington D.C.-based legal counsel specializing in resolving federal tax matters. REGS has been represented by this firm throughout all phases of this tax matter and related proceedings. In September 2011, REGS received approval from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to begin paying the outstanding federal payroll tax liability plus related interest and penalties totaling approximately $971,000, in installments (the “Installment Plan”). Under the Installment Plan, we were required to pay minimum monthly installments of $12,500 commencing September 2011, which increased to $25,000 per month in September 2012, until the liability was paid in full. Through the duration of the Installment Plan, the IRS continued to charge penalties and interest at statutory rates. If the conditions of the Installment Plan were not met, the IRS could cancel it and could demand the outstanding liability to be repaid through traditional enforcement proceedings available to the IRS. Additionally, the IRS has filed a notice of federal tax lien against certain of REGS assets in order to secure the obligation. The IRS is to release this lien if and when we pay the full amount due. Two of the officers of REGS also have liability exposure for a portion of the taxes if REGS does not pay the liability. In May 2013, REGS filed an Offer in Compromise (“OIC”) with the IRS. While the OIC was under review by the IRS, the requirement to pay $25,000 a month under the Installment Plan was suspended. REGS was informed by its legal counsel that the IRS had accepted REGS’ OIC. However, by a letter dated March 27, 2014 REGS was notified that the OIC had been rejected. REGS appealed that rejection decision, however that appeal has been denied. As a result, the Installment Plan is terminated. In June 2014 and September 2018, REGS received notices of intent to levy property or rights to property from the IRS for the amounts owed for the past due payroll taxes, penalty and interest. The IRS has not taken any current action against REGS and REGS continues to be represented by its legal counsel. 9 As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance due to the IRS was $1,085,400, and $1,052,200, respectively. Other than this outstanding payroll tax matter arising in 2009 and 2010, all state and federal taxes due and payable have been paid by REGS in a timely manner. REGS operations have been reported in discontinued operations for the year ended 2019. This does not alleviate the IRS obligations REGS currently has. Insurance To cover potential risks associated with the variety of services that the operating companies provide, we maintain adequate insurance coverages, including: 1) Casualty Insurance providing coverage for Commercial General Liability, Automotive Liability, Professional Liability Insurance and Employee Benefits Liability in the amounts of $1 million each, respectively, per year; 2) Contractor’s Pollution Liability Insurance, which has limits of $1 million per occurrence and $1 million in the aggregate; and 3) An Excess Umbrella Liability Policy of $5 million per occurrence and $5 million aggregate limit overall. Health, Safety and Compliance Preserving the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate, as well as remaining in compliance with local, state and federal rules and regulations are the highest priorities for us and our companies. We strive to maintain the highest professional standards in our compliance and health and safety activities. To achieve this objective, we engage with a professional safety firm and emphasize comprehensive training programs for new employees as well as ongoing mandatory refresher programs, and safety bonus programs for existing employees. These programs are administered at both the corporate and field levels on a daily basis. Our efforts to ensure the health and safety of employees have been formally recognized by our customers as well as by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. Research and Development Research and Development (“R&D”) costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, contract labor and other costs associated with ongoing product development and enhancement efforts. We spent approximately $0 on R&D for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As the Company brings its organic fertilizer products, Pellechar10™ and Pellechar30™, to market, it plans to allocate a small R&D budget in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, anticipated to be less than $100,000. Employees As of December 31, 2020, we employed 22 non-union hourly and salaried employees, 3 of which were part-time. There is some seasonality to our business which requires us to use day laborers. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the following risks. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, cause the trading price of our common stock to decline materially or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. In addition, there may be additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial that could have an adverse impact on our business. Risks Related to Our Business Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, we have incurred significant losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and need to raise substantial amounts of additional funds to meet our obligations and afford us time to develop profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern, if at all. The consolidated financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 10 We are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which is frequently difficult, expensive, and time-consuming with which to comply; noncompliance could adversely affect our operations and efforts to grow our business results. The industries in which we operate are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations. Our business requires us to obtain many approvals, certificates, licenses, permits and other types of governmental authorizations and to comply with various laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we operate. Federal, state and local regulations change often, and new regulations are frequently adopted. Changes in the regulations could require us to obtain new authorizations or to change the way in which we operate our business. We might be unable to obtain the new authorizations that we require, and the cost of compliance with new or changed laws and regulations could be significant. Many of the authorizations that we require, especially those to build and operate facilities, are difficult and time-consuming to obtain. They may also contain conditions or restrictions that limit our ability to operate efficiently, and they may not be issued as quickly as we need them or at all. If we cannot obtain the authorizations, or if they contain unfavorable conditions, it could substantially impair our operations and reduce our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we encounter regulatory compliance issues in the course of operating our businesses, we may experience adverse publicity, which may intensify if such non-compliance results in civil or criminal liability. This adverse publicity may harm our reputation, and result in difficulties in attracting new customers, or retaining existing customers. The level of governmental enforcement of environmental and other regulations has an uncertain effect on our business and could reduce the demand for our services. We believe that strict enforcement of laws and regulations relating to regulated industrial cleaning, environmental compliance, renewable energy and waste minimization/management can have a positive effect on our business, as these laws and regulations may increase the demand for our products and services. Relaxation of enforcement, government shutdowns, or other changes in governmental regulation of the industries in which we operate could increase the number of competitors we face or reduce or delay the need for our services. We may incur significant charges as a result of divestitures. During the third quarter of 2017, we sold our fixed railcar cleaning division which includes substantially all assets and liabilities of Tactical (except for cash) as well as three locations in REGS, including Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we ceased bidding on or accepting all new contracts in the REGS industrial cleaning activities and discontinued the operations of REGS going forward. We continue to evaluate the performance of our assets and businesses. Based on this evaluation, we may sell certain assets or businesses or exit particular markets. Any impairments and losses on divestiture resulting from this process may cause us to record significant charges, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets. In addition, divestitures may not yield the targeted improvements in our business. Divestitures involve risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, disruption in our operations or businesses, finding a suitable purchaser, the diversion of management’s attention from our other businesses, the potential loss of key employees, the erosion of employee morale or customer confidence, and the retention of contingent liabilities related to the divested business. Any charges that we are required to record or the failure to achieve the intended financial results associated with divestitures of businesses or assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 11 Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to fulfill our obligations. We currently have a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.7 million, with total current assets and liabilities of approximately $0.8 million and $10.6 million respectively. Included in the liabilities are approximately $3.0 million of short-term notes, $155,000 of short-term notes to a related party and approximately $1.6 million of convertible notes. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, the amounts owed for past due payroll taxes, penalty and interest was approximately $1.1 million. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not demand immediate payment of the amounts owed. There can be no assurance that we will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. As of December 31, 2020, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $47,300. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any refinancings will be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations. Our substantial indebtedness subjects us to various risks, including: ● we may be unable to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness; ● we may be more vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions; ● we may find it more difficult to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes; and ● we may have to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash resources to the payments on our outstanding indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for operations and future business opportunities. We have a history of losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future. We continue to incur losses in operations. We have experienced recurring losses and have accumulated a deficit of approximately $29.7 million as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately $2.8 million. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $9.8 million as of December 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern. It may be necessary for us to rely on external financing to supplement working capital to meet our liquidity needs in the fiscal years ended 2021 and 2022. The success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, cannot be assured. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company. We are subject to operating and litigation risks that may not be covered by insurance. Our business operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous products. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions or other catastrophic events. As a result, we may become a defendant in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to pending and future claims or that such levels of insurance would be available in the future at acceptable prices, if at all. In addition, a disruption of our business caused by a casualty event at a facility of ours or one of our customers may result in the loss of business, profits or customers during the time of the disruption. As such, our insurance policies may not fully compensate us for these losses. We have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our 2020 revenues . As of December 31, 2020, we had two customers with sales in excess of 10% of our revenues. There are risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers or the future demand for the products and services of these customers in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from these larger customers may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other facts, some of which may be outside of our control. These customers may pressure us to reduce the prices we charge for our products and services which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. If either of our two largest customers terminates our arrangements, such termination would negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. 12 Aggressive pricing by existing competitors and the entrance of new competitors could significantly and adversely affect our results of operations. The industries in which we participate are highly competitive. This competition may require us to reduce our prices in the future or may affect our ability to increase prices in the future. Price reductions or our inability to increase prices could significantly and adversely affect our results of operations. We face direct competition from a large number of small, local competitors. We face competition from companies with greater resources than us, companies with closer geographic proximity to our customers and potential customers, companies with service offerings we do not provide and companies that can provide lower pricing than we can in certain instances. An increase in the number or location of commercial treatment or disposal facilities for waste, significant expansion of existing competitor permitted capabilities, acquisitions by competitors or a decrease in the treatment or disposal fees charged by competitors could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. We face competition from these businesses, and competition from them is likely to exist in new locations to which we may expand in the future. In addition, large national companies with substantial resources operate in the markets we serve. Adverse economic conditions, government funding or competitive pressures affecting our customers could harm our business. We serve a diverse customer base that includes oil and gas refineries, regional landfills, medical waste destruction operations, agricultural companies and food and beverage companies and other commercial and industrial customers that are, or may be, affected by changing economic conditions and competition. These customers may be significantly impacted by deterioration in the general economy and may curtail waste production and/or delay spending on plant maintenance, waste cleanup projects and other discretionary work. Factors that can impact general economic conditions and the level of spending by customers include the general level of consumer and industrial spending, increases in fuel and energy costs, residential and commercial real estate and mortgage market conditions, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting spending behavior. Market forces may also compel customers to cease or reduce operations, declare bankruptcy, liquidate or relocate to other countries, any of which could adversely affect our business. Our operations are significantly affected by potential seasonal fluctuations due to weather; budgetary decisions and cash flow limitations influencing the timing of customer spending for the products and services we provide; the timing of regulatory agency decisions and judicial proceedings; changes in government regulations and enforcement policies and other factors that may delay or cause the cancellation of projects involving our products and services. We do not control such factors, which can cause our revenue and income to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. Our proprietary rights may be difficult to enforce. We generally rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products. Although we hold several patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of these patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending applications or that claims allowed on any patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time and effort required to create innovative products that have enabled us to be successful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 13 We may be found to infringe on intellectual property rights of others. Third parties may assert claims or initiate litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights that are relevant to us. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, or customers, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. Where claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all, or that any arrangements with our suppliers will be available or adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards that are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Our success in the future may depend on our ability to establish and maintain strategic alliances, and any failure on our part to establish and maintain such relationships could adversely affect our market penetration and revenue growth. Our ability to establish strategic relationships will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, such as the competitive position of our technology and our products relative to our competitors. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to establish strategic relationships successfully. In addition, strategic alliances that we may establish could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information and loss of control of operations that are material to our business and profit-sharing arrangements. Moreover, strategic alliances may be expensive to implement, require us to issue additional shares of our common stock and subject us to the risk that the third party will not perform its obligations pursuant to the arrangement, which may subject us to losses over which we have no control or expensive termination arrangements. Due to financial and experience constraints, we expect to rely on strategic relationships to develop our business, including those relating to product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. Identifying and developing strategic alliance candidates is expensive and time-consuming. In addition, these arrangements may leave us vulnerable to capacity constraints and reduced component availability, and our control over customer relationships, product delivery schedules, manufacturing and costs would be limited. In addition, we may have limited control over quality systems and controls, and therefore must rely on our relationships to manufacture our products to our quality and performance standards and specifications. Delays, component shortages, including custom components that are manufactured for us at our direction, and other manufacturing and supply problems, could impair the manufacture and distribution of our products and ultimately our company’s reputation. Furthermore, any adverse change in the financial or business condition of our strategic alliance counterparts could disrupt our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products. If we are required to change our strategic alliance counterparts or bring those functions in-house, we may lose revenue, incur increased costs, and damage our relationships with other customers and strategic alliances. Attacks on our information technology systems could damage our reputation, negatively impact our businesses and expose us to litigation risk. We use computers in substantially all aspects of our business operations. We also use mobile devices, social networking and other online activities to connect with our employees and our customers. We rely heavily on various proprietary and third-party information systems. Our reputation for the secure handling of customer and other sensitive information is critical to the success of our business. We are potentially subject to cyber-attacks, including state-sponsored cyber-attacks, industrial espionage, insider threats, computer denial-of-service attacks, computer viruses, ransomware and other malware, wire fraud and other cyber incidents. Our incident response efforts, business continuity procedures and disaster recovery planning may not be entirely effective as our information technology and network infrastructure may still be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breaches due to employee error, malfeasance, computer viruses, power outages, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, breaches with respect to third-party systems or other disruptions. A cybersecurity incident and breach of our information systems could lead to theft, destruction, misappropriation or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, which could result in business disruption, negative publicity, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, brand damage, adverse financial and operational results, and potential litigation. 14 Our management depends on relevant and reliable information for decision-making purposes, including key performance indicators and financial reporting. Any significant loss of data, failure to maintain reliable data, disruptions affecting our information systems, or delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our ability to continue to operate our businesses without significant interruption in the event of a disaster or other disruption depends in part on the ability of our information systems to operate in accordance with our disaster recovery and business continuity plans. If our information systems fail and our redundant systems or disaster recovery plans are not adequate to address such failures, or if our business interruption insurance does not sufficiently compensate us for any losses that we may incur, our revenues and profits could be reduced, and the reputation of our brands and our business could be adversely affected. In addition, remediation of such problems could result in significant, unplanned capital investments. The handling of regulated waste exposes us to the risk of environmental liabilities. As a company engaged in regulated waste management, we face risks of liability for environmental contamination. CERCLA and similar state laws impose strict liability on current or former owners and operators of facilities that release hazardous substances into the environment as well as on the businesses that generate those substances and the businesses that transport them to our facilities. Responsible parties may be liable for substantial investigation and clean-up costs even if they operated their businesses properly and complied with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Liability under CERCLA may be joint and several, which means that if we were found to be a business with responsibility for a particular CERCLA site, we could be required to pay the entire cost of the investigation and clean-up even if we were not the party responsible for the release of the hazardous substance and other companies might also be liable. If we were to incur liability under CERCLA and if we could not identify other parties responsible under the law whom we are able to compel to contribute to our expenses, the cost to us could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and reduce our liquidity. If there were a claim against us that a customer might be legally liable for, we might not be successful in recovering our damages from the customer. We have significant deferred tax assets, and any impairments of or valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets in the future could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to use significant deferred tax assets to offset income. The extent to which we can use deferred tax assets may be limited for various reasons, including but not limited to changes in tax rules or regulations and if projected future taxable income becomes insufficient to recognize the full benefit of our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards prior to their expiration. Additionally, our ability to fully use these tax assets will also be adversely affected if we have an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An ownership change is generally defined as a greater than 50% increase in equity ownership by “5% stockholders” (as that term is defined for purposes of Section 382) in any three-year period. Future changes in our stock ownership, depending on the magnitude, including the purchase or sale of our common stock by 5% stockholders, and issuances or redemptions of common stock by us, could result in an ownership change that would trigger the imposition of limitations under Section 382. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that in the future we will not experience limitations with respect to recognizing the benefits of our NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes for which limitations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Our businesses are subject to operational and safety risks. Provision of environmental, energy and industrial services to our customers involves risks such as equipment defects, malfunctions and failures and natural disasters, which could potentially result in releases of hazardous materials, damage to or total loss of our property or assets, injury or death of our employees or a need to shut down or reduce operations while remedial actions are undertaken. Our employees often work under potentially hazardous conditions. These risks expose us to potential liability for pollution and other environmental damages, personal injury, loss of life, business interruption and property damage or destruction. We must also maintain a solid safety record in order to remain a preferred supplier to our major customers. While we seek to minimize our exposure to such risks, such efforts and insurance may not be adequate to cover all of our potential liabilities, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and financial results. 15 The extensive environmental regulations to which we are subject may increase our costs and potential liabilities and limit our ability to expand our facilities. Our operations and those of others in the environmental services industry are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental requirements. In particular, if we fail to comply with government regulations governing the handling and transport of hazardous materials, such failure could negatively impact our ability to operate our business. Efforts to conduct our operations in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including environmental rules and regulations, require programs to promote compliance, such as training employees and customers and purchasing health and safety equipment. Even with these programs, we and other companies in the environmental services industry are routinely faced with government enforcement proceedings, which can result in fines or other sanctions and require expenditures for remedial work on waste management facilities and contaminated sites. Certain of these laws impose strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability on current and former owners and operators of facilities that release regulated materials or that generate those materials and arrange for their disposal or treatment at contaminated sites. Such liabilities can relate to required cleanup of releases of regulated materials and related natural resource damages. The landscape of environmental regulation to which we are subject can change. Changes to environmental regulation may result in increased operating and compliance costs or, in more significant cases, changes to how our facilities are able to operate. We constantly monitor the landscape of environmental regulation; however, our ability to navigate through any changes to such regulations may result in a material effect on our operations, cash flows or financial condition. Some environmental laws and regulations impose liability and responsibility on present and former owners, operators or users of facilities and sites for contamination at such facilities and sites without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. Releases of regulated materials at and from our facilities and those of our customers, or the disposal of regulated materials at third-party sites, which may require investigation and remediation, and potentially result in claims of personal injury, property damage and damages to natural resources. Investigations undertaken in connection with these activities may lead to discoveries of contamination that must be remediated, and closures of facilities might trigger compliance requirements that are not applicable to operating facilities. Remedial activities could result in a material effect upon our operations or financial condition and result in material costs. We may not be able to obtain timely or cost-effective transportation services which could adversely affect our profitability. Revenue at each of our facilities is subject to potential risks from disruptions in rail or truck transportation services relied upon to deliver waste. Increases in fuel or labor costs, shortages of qualified drivers and unforeseen events such as labor disputes, public health pandemics, severe weather, natural disasters and other acts of God, war or terror could prevent or delay shipments and reduce both volumes and revenue. Transportation services may also be limited by economic conditions, including increased demand for rail or trucking services, resulting in periods of slower service to the point that individual customer needs cannot be met. No assurance can be given that we can procure transportation services in a timely manner at competitive rates or pass-through fuel cost increases in all cases. Such factors could also limit our ability to achieve revenue and earnings objectives. We may not be able to effectively adopt or adapt to new or improved technologies. We expect to continue implementing new or improved technologies at our facilities to meet customer service demands and expand our business. If we are unable to identify and implement new technologies in response to market conditions and customer requirements in a timely, cost effective manner, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. 16 In the event that we undertake future acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully execute our acquisition strategy. We may experience delays in making acquisitions or be unable to make acquisitions we desire for a number of reasons. Suitable acquisition candidates may not be available at purchase prices that are attractive to us or on terms that are acceptable to us. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, we typically compete with other companies, some of which have greater financial and other resources than we do. We may not have available funds or common stock with a sufficient market price to complete an acquisition. If we are unable to secure sufficient funding for potential acquisitions, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that we otherwise find advantageous. Acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our results of operations. Acquisitions involve multiple risks. Our inability to successfully integrate an acquired business could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. These risks include but are not limited to: ● failure of the acquired company to achieve anticipated revenues, earnings or cash flows; ● assumption of liabilities, including those related to environmental matters, that were not disclosed to us or that exceed our estimates; ● problems integrating the purchased operations with our own, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical or financial problems; ● potential compliance issues relating to the protection of health and the environment, compliance with securities laws and regulations, adequacy of internal controls and other matters; ● diversion of management’s attention or other resources from our existing business; ● risks associated with entering markets or product/service areas in which we have limited prior experience; ● increases in working capital investment to fund the growth of acquired operations; ● unexpected capital expenditures to upgrade waste handling or other infrastructure or replace equipment to operate safely and efficiently; ● potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired company; and ● future write-offs of intangible and other assets, including goodwill, if the acquired operations fail to generate sufficient cash flows. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully, if at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our ongoing business, failure to implement the business plan for the combined businesses, unanticipated issues in integrating service offerings, logistics information, communications and other systems or other unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities, any or all of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. We face risks associated with project work and services that are provided on a non-recurring basis. A portion of our revenue is derived from short-term projects or services that we provide on a non-recurring basis, which are not predictable in terms of frequency, size or duration. Our customers’ need for these services could be influenced by regulatory changes, fluctuations in commodity market performance, natural disasters and acts of God, or other factors beyond our control. Variability in the demand for these services could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of our customers have suffered financial difficulties, which could negatively impact our operating results. We provide service to a number of customers, some of which have suffered significant financial difficulties in recent years. Some of these entities could be unable to pay amounts owed to us or renew contracts with us at previous or increased rates. The inability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner or to pay increased prices, particularly our larger accounts, could negatively affect our operating results. 17 Our success depends on our executive officers and other key personnel. If we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business may be harmed. We have traditionally operated with limited resources and infrastructure. As of the date of this report, we have a total of twenty-two employees, including our management team. We believe our success will depend in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled administrative, technical, managerial, sales, and marketing personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense. Our financial condition or volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price or equity incentive awards may also adversely affect our ability to hire and retain key employees. In addition, there is some seasonality to our business which requires us to use day laborers. The loss of services of any of our key personnel, the inability to retain and attract qualified personnel in the future, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly engineering and sales personnel, could make it difficult to meet key objectives, such as timely and effective product development, manufacturing and sales. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons or earthquakes could negatively affect our operations and financial performance. Such events could result in physical damage to one or more of our facilities or equipment, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, and the temporary disruption in transportation services which we rely on to deliver waste to our facilities. These events could prevent or delay shipments and reduce both volumes and revenue. Weather conditions and other event driven special projects may also cause variations in our results. We may be required to suspend operations in some of our locations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The long-term impact of terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, and the magnitude of the threat of future terrorist attacks are not known at this time. Uncertainty surrounding hostilities in the Middle East or other sustained military campaigns may affect our operations in unpredictable ways. Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks may make certain types of insurance more difficult for us to obtain. Moreover, the insurance that may be available to us may be significantly more expensive than our existing insurance coverage. Instability in the business and financial markets as a result of terrorism or war could also affect our ability to raise capital and conduct business. In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread to multiple countries, including the United States. If the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spread, we may continue to experience disruptions that could severely impact our business, including availability of necessary items or availability of workforce in a non-essential business either due to voluntary or mandated quarantine. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the COVID-19 may continue to impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. Risks Related to Our Common Stock The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may adversely impact our company. As discussed in Part II, Item 9A, entitled “Controls and Procedures,” in this report, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. We are currently working to remediate the material weaknesses. We cannot be sure when we will successfully remediate the material weakness or whether compensating controls will be effective in preventing or detecting material errors. The remediation may require substantial time and resources to successfully implement. We may be unable to remediate these weaknesses until we have received additional funding that may be necessary to hire additional personnel. Until we have sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, we plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment, and internal controls systematically. These material weaknesses could cause creditors, customers, investors, regulators, strategic alliances and others to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our internal controls and the accuracy of our financial statements and other information, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 18 We are subject to the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws, which can be expensive . We are a public reporting company in the United States and therefore, we are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were a privately held company. The issuance or sale of equity, convertible or exchangeable securities in the market, or the perception of such future sales or issuances, could lead to a decline in the price, if any, of our common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 70,000,000 shares of our common stock. Any issuance of equity or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our equity securities, including for the purposes of expansion of our business, may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. The perceived risk associated with the possible issuance of a large number of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchange for a large number of shares of our common stock could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. Subsequent sales of our common stock in the open market or the private placement of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock could also have an adverse effect on the market price, if any, of our shares. If our stock price declines, it may be more difficult for us to or we may be unable to raise additional capital. Over the course of meeting our capital needs, we have entered into various instruments that are convertible into shares of our common stock. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, property or services, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. Also, any stock we sell in the future may be valued on an arbitrary basis by us and the issuance of shares of common stock for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. Future sales of substantial amounts of our currently outstanding common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our common stock, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our stock. We may experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect your investment, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the offering price. Our common stock has traded in the over-the-counter marketplace on the OTCQB under the symbol “SENR.”. There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be, or be admitted to, trade on any established trading market or exchange. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will maintain the requirements for continued listing or trading on an established trading market or exchange. Our common stock may not be traded actively. An illiquid market for shares of our common stock may result in lower trading prices and increased volatility, which could negatively affect the value of your investment or your ability to sell your shares. If an active trading market does develop, it may not last and the trading price of the shares may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: ● our ability to commercialize our products, services and technologies; ● the amount and timing of expenses associated with our research and development programs and our ability to develop enhancements to our products and services; ● additions or departures of key personnel; ● our ability to effectively manage our growth; ● our ability and the terms upon which we are able to raise capital sufficient to continue our operations; 19 ● our cash position; ● sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders in the future; ● trading volume of our common stock; ● changes in accounting practices; ● ineffectiveness of our internal controls; ● disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies; ● significant lawsuits, including creditor, customer, patent or stockholder litigation; ● industry adoption of our technology or other new competing technologies; ● our ability to establish and expand key distribution partners; ● our ability to establish strategic relationships with third parties to accelerate our growth plans; ● announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors; ● developments in the competitive environment, including the introduction of improved products or services by our competitors; ● overall performance of the equity markets; ● publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts; ● our failure to meet the estimates and projections of the investment community or that we may otherwise provide to the public; ● changes in the market valuations of similar companies; ● general political and economic conditions; and ● other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase significantly. If our revenues in any quarter do not increase correspondingly, our net losses for that period will increase. Moreover, given that a significant portion of our operating expenses cannot be quickly reduced, if we cannot obtain revenues from operations or our revenues are delayed or below expectations, our operating results are likely to be adversely and disproportionately affected. The stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results or financial condition. We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on or repurchase any shares of our common stock. We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Cash dividend payments in the future may only be made out of legally available funds and, if we experience substantial losses, such funds may not be available. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock in order to generate cash flow from your investment and there is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may never exceed the price paid by you in this offering. Because our shares are deemed “penny stock,” you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also would constitute a “penny stock.” As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Disclosure is also required to be made regarding compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market would be limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock would be severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock. 20 ITEM 1B.

There are no preferred shares issued or outstanding. Dividends We have not declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that our operations will prove profitable to the extent necessary to pay cash dividends. Moreover, even if such profits are achieved, the future dividend policy will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by our board of directors. 22 Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, we had the following sales and issuances of unregistered equity securities: Date of Sale Title of Security Number Sold Consideration Consideration Received and Description of Underwriting or Other Discounts to Market Price or Convertible Security Afforded to Purchases Exemption from Registration Claimed If Option, Warrant or Convertible Security, Terms of Exercise or Conversion Security Holder January 2020 Common Stock 115,000 $ 8,050 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual February 2020 Common Stock 115,000 $ 10,350 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual March 2020 Common Stock 122,500 $ 14,700 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual April 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 14,300 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual May 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 14,300 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual June 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 13,000 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual July 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 16,900 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual August 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 18,200 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual September 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 15,600 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual September 2020 Common Stock 250,000 $ 16,300 Shares issued with short term note maturing June 11, 2020; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual September 2020 Common Stock 125,000 $ 11,300 Shares issued with short term note maturing December 7, 2020; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual September 2020 Common Stock 200,000 $ 13,000 Shares issued with short term note, originally maturing April 16, 2020, and extended; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Steven Wallit, an individual September 2020 Common Stock 200,000 $ 20,000 Shares issued for debenture extension; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Steven Wallit, an individual October 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 20,800 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual October 2020 Common Stock 200,000 $ 30,000 Shares issued for debenture extension; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Steven Wallit, an individual November 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 26,000 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual December 2020 Common Stock 130,000 $ 54,600 Shares issued as penalty for not meeting short term note maturity date; no commissions paid Section 4(2); and/or Rule 506 Not applicable Clyde Berg, an individual These transactions were conducted in reliance on the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the private sale of the securities and the Company’s relationships with the security holders. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Not Applicable. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnotes and “Risk Factors” that appear elsewhere in this Report. Certain statements in this Report constitute “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions; industry trends; changes in demand for our products and services; uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments and the timing of orders received from customers; announcements or changes in our pricing policies or that of our competitors; unanticipated delays in the development, market acceptance or installation of our products and services; changes in government regulations; availability of management and other key personnel; availability, terms and deployment of capital; relationships with third-party equipment suppliers; and worldwide political stability and economic growth. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend” and “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing SEER and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 23 Overview SEER was formed as a publicly traded company in early 2008 through a reverse merger. SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and environmental, clean-technology businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost effective, and profitable solutions in the oil & gas, environmental, waste management and renewable energy industries. SEER currently operates five companies with four offices in the western and mid-western U.S. Through these operating companies, SEER provides products and services throughout the U.S. and has licensed and owned technologies with many customer installations throughout the U.S. Each of the five operating companies is discussed in more detail below. The Company also has non-controlling interests in joint ventures, some of which have no or minimal operations. The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s subsidiaries that have well established revenue streams and, simultaneously, establish long-term alliances with and/or acquire complementary domestic businesses in rapidly growing markets for renewable energy, waste and water treatment, and industrial services. The focus of the SEER family of companies, however, is to increase margins by securing or developing proprietary, patented and patent-pending technologies, and then leveraging its 20 plus-year service experience to place these innovations and solutions into the growing markets of emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale, compressed natural gas fuel generation, as well as general solid waste and medical/pharmaceutical waste destruction. Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides truly synergistic services, technologies and products as well as annuity type revenue streams. Financial Condition As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $9.8 million in negative working capital, which represents a decrease of approximately $2.7 million from $7.1 million in negative working capital as of December 31, 2019. The decrease in our working capital results primarily from the net loss, before non-controlling interest, of $2.7 million for 2020. In May 2013, REGS filed an Offer in Compromise with the IRS. REGS received a letter from the IRS, dated March 27, 2014, rejecting its Offer in Compromise and in accordance with the rejection letter REGS has submitted a written appeal. As a result of the IRS rejection of the Offer in Compromise, the Installment Plan, mentioned in Part 1, Item 1, was terminated. In June 2014, REGS received notices of intent to levy property or rights to property from the IRS for the amounts owed for the past due payroll taxes, penalty, and interest. The appeal submitted by REGS was denied by the IRS, however, the IRS has not taken any current action. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance due to the IRS was $1,085,400 and REGS continues to be represented by tax counsel specializing in federal tax matters. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $29.7 million as of December 31, 2020, and $27.0 million as of December 31, 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, we incurred net losses of approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Realization of a major portion of our assets as of December 31, 2020, is dependent upon our continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. In addition, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. We continue to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies, diversifying our service customer base and market concentrations and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions, including discontinuing a line of business with insufficient margins. Critical to achieving profitability will be our ability to license and or sell, permit and operate through our joint ventures and licensees our CoronaLux™ waste destruction units. We have increased our business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding domestic markets attributable to increased federal and state emission control regulations and a growing demand for energy conservation and renewable energies. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing that may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital on favorable terms or at all, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis. 24 Results of Continuing Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Total revenues were $2.9 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of approximately $1.4 million or 32% in revenues comparing the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to the decreases in revenues from our products segment revenue, which includes our environmental solutions segment, which decreased from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million or approximately 34%. Environmental solutions segment generated less revenue as the volume of media sales decreased, primarily due to a shortage of capital to produce the media internally, and the general slowdown of our construction contracts due to the slowdown in the economy, and the reduced capacity of current employees of both the Company and its customers, attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline was partially offset by the completion of 10 internally built kilns that were delivered. Our Solid Waste segment remained consistent at $0.2 million for both 2020 and 2019. Operating expenses, which include cost of products, cost of solid waste and general and administrative (G&A) expenses, salaries and related expenses, were approximately $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In total operating expenses were consistent, but individual components did change throughout the year. The decrease in product costs of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the year ended December 31, 2019, which coincides with the reduction in product revenue above, although the margins were reduced due to the production of kilns for PWS, therefore the costs were reduced less than the revenue, proportionately. Also contributing to the reduced operating expenses was a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 from the year ended December 31, 2019, which was a result of reduced insurance expenses, and professional services during 2020. This was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in salaries and related expenses, as a large amount of payroll related expenses were allocated to discontinued operations in 2019, but those expenses are now in continuing operations in our subsidiary building kilns. Total non-operating other expense, net, was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $0.1 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in expense in 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily due to the reduced other income, which in 2019 included the collection of a $0.3 million note receivable that had previously been written off, and an increase in interest expense of $0.4 million as a result of the increase overall debt outstanding. There is no provision for income taxes for both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, due to our net losses for both periods and we continue to maintain full allowances covering our net deferred tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Net loss, before non-controlling interest, for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.7 million, consistent with December 31, 2019 net loss, before non-controlling interest, of $2.7 million. The net loss attributable to SEER after deducting $34,700 for the non-controlling interest was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $2.5 million, after deducting $151,200 in non-controlling interest, and $1.8 million for discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. 25 Results of Discontinued Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company ceased bidding on, and accepting contracts for the services division of its REGS subsidiary. All revenue and expenses of our REGS subsidiary for 2019 are classified as discontinued operations. Commencing in 2020, all REGS operations involve the building of kilns for PWS and other customers. All discontinued operations consist of our industrial cleaning operations, reported during 2019. We are presenting these in a table form, as the industrial cleaning business operations did not have results in 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020 2019 Services revenue $ - $ 1,661,500 Services costs - (2,481,400 ) General and administrative expenses - (502,400 ) Salaries and related expenses - (512,400 ) Other income (expense) - 49,300 Total expenses - (3,446,900 ) Operating income - (1,785,400 ) Income tax benefit - - Total income from discontinued operations $ - $ (1,785,400 ) There is no provision for income taxes for both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, due to our net losses for both periods and we continue to maintain full allowances covering our net deferred tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following table summarizes the net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Operating activities $ (1,690,100 ) $ (2,100,800 ) Investing activities 160,500 708,700 Financing activities $ 1,222,200 $ 1,631,100 Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.7 million compared to $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cash used in operating activities is driven by our net loss and adjusted by non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation and amortization of property & equipment and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment expense, non-cash interest expense related to the issuance of common stock for short-term debt penalty, a change in the provision for doubtful accounts. In 2020, net non-cash adjustments totaled approximately $0.2 million and in 2019, net non-cash adjustments totaled $0.3 million. In addition to the non-cash adjustments to net income, changes in assets and liabilities include: a) changes in accounts receivable provided $0.3 million in cash in 2020, compared to $0.6 million in 2019, a net decrease in cash provided of $0.3 million, b) increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $0.4 million in 2020, compared to using $0.3 million in 2019, a net increase in cash of $0.7 million, c) decrease in billings in excess of revenue on uncompleted contracts provided $0.2 million in 2020, compared to $0.1 million in 2019, a net decrease in cash of $0.1 million, d) increase in inventory used $0.3 million in 2020, compared to $0 in 2019, a net decrease in cash of $0.3 million. 26 Investing activities Net cash provided by investing activities is primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment, and the proceeds from notes receivable. Our net cash flow provided by investing activities was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. During 2020, we had additions to property and equipment of $0.1 million, and proceeds of $0.3 million from the sale of fixed assets. During 2019, we had additions to property and equipment of $0.1 million, proceeds from a minority interest in a new subsidiary of $0.2 million, and proceeds of $0.6 million from a notes receivable that includes a previously impaired note. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.2 million for 2020 and net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.6 million for 2019. Proceeds from the issuance of convertible and short-term debt, including the payroll protection program and notes from related parties, was $1.5 million and $2.0 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations was $0.3 million in 2020 and $0.4 million in 2019. Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of intangible assets; valuation allowances and reserves for receivables, inventory and deferred income taxes; revenue recognition related to contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method; share-based compensation; and loss contingencies, including those related to litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our accounts receivable. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an aging of accounts receivable, historical experience and management judgment. Accounts receivable balances are reviewed individually for collectability, and balances are charged off against the allowance when we determine that the potential for recovery is remote. An allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1,000 and $11,800 had been reserved as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We are exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable. Our customers operate primarily in the oil production and refining, rail transport, biogas generating and wastewater treatment industries in the United States. Accordingly, we are affected by the economic conditions in these industries as well as general economic conditions in the United States. To limit credit risk, management periodically reviews and evaluates the financial condition of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, we do not believe that we have significant credit risk. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturities. We believe that the carrying value of notes payable with third parties, including their current portion, approximate their fair value, as those instruments carry market interest rates based on our current financial condition and liquidity. We believe the amounts due to related parties also approximate their fair value, as their carried interest rates are consistent with those of our notes payable with third parties. 27 Long-lived Assets We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of an asset group are estimated to be less than the carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company did not have any impairment charges. The Company incurred $32,800 in impairment charges in 2019. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation over the service period that they are expected to vest. We estimate the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated value of the portion of a stock-based award that is ultimately expected to vest, taking into consideration estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent that actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures, such differences are accounted for as a cumulative adjustment to compensation expenses and recorded in the period that estimates are revised.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective, and material weaknesses over financial reporting were identified. Material weakness means a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified were: ● due to ongoing financial constraints, we have not been devoting adequate resources to our accounting and reporting functions in order to properly record, file and review our financial transactions on a regular basis in order to ensure accuracy;and ● we do not have a properly documented internal control system in accordance with the requirements of COSO or some similarly appropriate internal control methodology or formal documentation of our systems of internal control. We are currently working to remediate the material weaknesses. We cannot be sure when we will successfully remediate the material weaknesses or whether compensating controls will be effective in preventing or detecting material errors. The remediation may require substantial time and resources to successfully implement. We may be unable to remediate these weaknesses until we have received additional funding that may be necessary to hire additional personnel. Until we have sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, we plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment, and internal controls systematically. These material weaknesses could cause creditors, customers, investors, regulators, strategic alliances and others to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our internal controls and the accuracy of our financial statements and other information, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report. Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For the past five years Mr. Combs has not served as a director of a public company, other than SEER. He received his B.A. from the University of Colorado, with honors, and a J uris Doctorate from Duke University School of Law in 1983. Mr. Combs was chosen as a Director because of his leadership experience, public company experience, experience serving on the boards of directors and committees of both public and private entities and other experience as a practicing attorney. Christopher H. Dieterich, Director, has served on the board since January 2008 . Mr. Dieterich is the founder and managing partner of Dieterich & Associates, a litigation and commercial law firm based in Los Angeles, California, providing legal services to entrepreneurial and emerging technology companies during the past 34 years.

Mr. Knopik also began his career at KPMG, LLLP. Mr. Knopik received a B.S. degree in Accounting from the Montana State University and is a CPA. 30 Director Independence The board of directors has determined that Christopher Dieterich is considered an “independent director.” Under the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) definition, an “independent director” means a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individuals having a relationship that, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director. The board of directors’ discretion in determining director independence is not completely unfettered. Further, under the NASDAQ definition, an independent director is a person who (1) is not currently (or whose immediate family members are not currently), and has not been over the past three years (or whose immediate family members have not been over the past three years), employed by the company; (2) has not (or whose immediate family members have not) been paid more than $120,000 during the current or past three fiscal years; (3) has not (or whose immediately family has not) been a partner in or controlling shareholder or executive officer of an organization which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in excess of the greater of $200,000 or 5% of that organizations consolidated gross revenues, in any of the most recent three fiscal years; (4) has not (or whose immediate family members have not), over the past three years been employed as an executive officer of a company in which an executive officer of the company has served on that company’s compensation committee; or (5) is not currently (or whose immediate family members are not currently), and has not been over the past three years (or whose immediate family members have not been over the past three years) a partner of the company’s outside auditor. Board Meetings and committees; annual meeting attendance There is no Nominating Committee for directors, which the Company considers reasonable, as there is no direct compensation to directors who are not also officers, and there is no liability insurance available for errors and omissions, should they occur. Therefore, the Company has found it extremely difficult to attract independent directors. There were no changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors. Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert We do not have a standing audit committee, an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function. The entire board of directors acts as the audit committee. We currently have limited working capital and a history of losses. Our board of directors does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to identify and retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee or a director that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under SEC regulations. Compensation Committee As of this filing there was no compensation committee. The entire board of directors acts as the compensation committee. Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports Scott Yenzer, a director, is delinquent in filing a Form 3, and a Form 4 at the time of this filing. Code of Ethics Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees, which includes our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. A current copy of the code is posted on our website, www.seer-corp.com. 31 ITEM 11.
