PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Overview

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. ("the Company" or "SEER") was established as a publicly traded company in early 2008 through a reverse merger.  SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and product businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost effective, and profitable solutions in the oil & gas, environmental, waste management and renewable energy industries.  SEER currently operates four companies with three 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 four operating companies is discussed in more detail below.

The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s existing customer base and 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 environmental, water treatment and oil & gas services.  At the same time, SEER intends to increase sales of new and patent-pending technologies into the growing markets of vapor/emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale, Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG") fuel generation for fleet use, as well as medical and pharmaceutical waste destruction.  Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides truly synergistic services and products.

The company now owns and manages four operating entities.
 
   Subsidiaries
 
REGS, LLC d/b/s Resource Environmental Group Services ("REGS"): (operating since 1994) provides general industrial cleaning services and waste management into many industry sectors but focuses on oil & gas production (upstream) (particularly water treatment services in the oil & gas fields) and refineries (downstream), but also services other sectors such as hospitals, universities and state/federal agencies.
 
Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC ("TCC"):  (operating since 2005) provides cleaning services to the tanker rail car industry with offices in two states and a focus on both food-grade and petroleum based products, i.e ., fuel oil and asphalt.
 
MV, LLC ("MV") : (operating since 2003) MV is an engineering/technology oriented company that designs and sells odor, vapor, and emission control systems for use in oil and gas production, refining, and biogas conversion in agricultural, food and beverage and landfill applications.
 
Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC ("PWS"): (formed late 2010) PWS is a recently-formed operating company that is expected to deliver during the third quarter of 2013, the initial prototype unit intended to demonstrate its patent-pending technology based on a “cold plasma” oxidation process.  PWS believes that this   CoronaLux™ Technology, designed and intended for the “clean” destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e ., hospital “red bag” waste) should eliminate the need for costly segregation, transportation, incineration or landfill (with their associated legacy liabilities). PWS is a 54% owned subsidiary.
 
Benefuels, LLC ("BeneFuels"): (formed February 2012) owned 90% by SEER is a newly formed division created  to focus specifically on treating biogas for conversion to pipeline quality gas and/or CNG for fleet vehicles. BeneFuels had no operations as of May 10, 2013.

Industry

SEER, with its diverse services, technologies, and environmental solution offerings, participates in the worldwide markets of industrial cleaning, environmental compliance, renewable energy and waste minimization/management markets.  There are ever-increasing regulations and statutory programs, state, federal and local, create and mandate the need for waste minimization and proper handling, storage, treatment and disposal of virtually all types of waste.  These rules and regulations are increasingly governing air emissions and vapor control in virtually all types of industries.

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, store and dispose of hazardous waste in accordance with specific regulations.  Subsequent to the 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 time 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 and industrial cleaning 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 growth to date has been fueled by a combination of vertical integration, acquisitions, and organic growth.  SEER acquired REGS, Tactical, and MV as wholly-owned subsidiaries.  We intend to continue pursuing an aggressive strategy of acquisitive and organic growth while expanding our geographic footprint into other regions of the United States and possibly into foreign markets.  Potential acquisitions may include businesses that 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.

Through recently-formed, long-term contractual relationships with partners in the up-stream oil & gas production sector, SEER will pursue new sources of service revenue, particularly in the treatment of “frac” and produced water (production and flowback water from drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations) at water treatment facilities in some of the most productive oil & gas fields in the country.

Upon full development of certain of our patent-pending technologies, we intend to explore license relationships with larger, established companies to generate sustainable, revenue streams from both domestic and international applications.

Intellectual Property

REGS pioneered the development and use of a unique non-human-entry cleaning system – the Mobile Powered Cleaning Unit (MPCU) – a highly mobile, self-contained system that utilizes robotic tank-cleaning devices. The MPCU offers a safer, more efficient and more cost effective tank cleaning option for refineries and all other large-tank industries.  In addition to eliminating the risks associated with personnel entering tanks to clean hazardous waste, the MPCU is a versatile device that is effective with almost all commodities, cleaning solutions, tank sizes and configurations.  Additionally, the MPCU is effective in extremely hot weather conditions when personnel entry is unsafe.

MV recently was issued a patent related to “Oil-Gas Vapor Collection, Storage, and Recovery System, etc.” Patent No. US 8,206,124 B1.  MV is in the process of expanding the scope and number of claims of this issued patent and has other pending applications arising out of and related to its odor control, vapor recovery, and renewable energy systems.

In 2013, PWS filed extensive provisional and non-provisional applications arising out of and related to its waste disposal technology involving a pyrolitic first phase and a “cold  plasma” second phase system referred to “plasma light,” or CoronaLux™ technology.

Competition

The industrial services industry is highly competitive.  Our competitors vary in size, geographical coverage and by the mix of services they offer.  Our larger competitors include Philip Services, Clean Harbors, and Veolia Environmental Services.  Additionally, we compete with a number of small and medium size companies.  In the face of this competition we have been effective in growing our revenue due to the wide range of services we offer, a competitive pricing structure, our innovative and proprietary/patent pending technologies, a reputation for reliability, built over the nearly 20 years of business operations and the care we take in each customer project.

In all its businesses, the Company currently holds very small parts of very large and growing markets.  MV competes by providing superior H2S “scrubbing” solutions that result in more cost efficient removal of H2S from process gas streams, with markedly lower cost media change out.  REGS and Tactical Cleaning Company compete by offering superior customer response and lower total cost of service.  PWS plans to compete 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 patent-pending CoronaLux™ technology results in a radically superior option in the medical waste management sector and 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.

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 operations and permitting 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.

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 and Professional Liability Insurance 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; 3) Transportation Liability Insurance with a $1 million per occurrence; and, 4) An Excess Umbrella Liability Policy of $4 million per occurrence and $4 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 have an in-house, full-time, health & safety officer 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

During the year 2011, the Company spent $2,000 in research and development, increasing that spending to $416,000 in 2012 to develop its medical waste management technology in its Paragon subsidiary.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we employed approximately 63 non-union and salaried employees.   Use of part time and day laborers varies depending on current job requirements.

Public Information

Persons interested in obtaining information on the Company may read and copy any materials that we file with the Commission at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves certain risk factors, including those described below.  Investors should carefully consider these risk factors along with information included or referred to in this report as well as other SEC filings before investing in our securities.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to fulfill our obligations.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $791,700 in notes payable and capitalized lease obligations; federal withholding tax liability, including interest and penalties of $1,080,800, trade accounts payable of $1,323,300, billings in excess of revenue on uncompleted projects of $327,400, and $499,700 in accrued liabilities. Our level of indebtedness may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; result in a default under the financial and operating covenants contained in our debt instruments; and make us more vulnerable to an economic downturn that our competitors with less debt. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt and fee obligations, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt and letter of credit facilities, or to obtain additional financing and facilities. However, we may not be able to obtain any such refinancing or additional facilities on favorable terms or at all.

Our business and results of operations would be adversely affected if we are unable to secure reasonably priced insurance that is required for our operations.

Because our business sometimes involves the handling and disposal of hazardous materials, we are required to maintain insurance coverage that can be expensive.  Our ability to continue conducting business could be adversely affected if we should become unable to secure sufficient insurance coverage, surety bonds and financial assurances at reasonable cost to meet our business and regulatory requirements. The availability of insurance could be affected by factors outside of our control as well as the insurers' or sureties' assessment of our risk.

The environmental services industry in which we participate is subject to significant economic and business risks.

Our future operating results may be affected by such factors as our ability to win new business and remain competitive in the face of price competition from competitors who are often larger and better capitalized than us; maintain and/or build market share in an industry that has experienced downsizing and consolidation; reduce costs without negatively impacting operations; minimize downtime and disruptions of operations; weather economic downturns or recessionary conditions.

A significant portion of our business is derived as a result of events and circumstances over which we have no control.

Certain services that we provide are impacted by events such as accidental spills of hazardous materials, increasingly stringent environmental regulations governing hazardous waste handling, and seasonal fluctuations due to weather and budgetary cycles influencing the timing of customers' spending for remedial activities.  We do not control such factors and, as a result, our revenue and income can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.  Prior financial performance for certain periods may not be a reliable indicator of future performance for comparable periods in subsequent years.

Seasonality makes it harder for us to manage our business and for investors to evaluate our performance.

Our operations may be affected by seasonal fluctuations due to weather and budgetary cycles influencing the timing of customers' needs for remedial and other services that we provide.  This seasonality in our business makes it harder for us to manage our business and for investors to evaluate our performance.

Because our quarterly and annual operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate, the market price for our stock may be volatile.

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.  Fluctuations in operating results may result in volatility of the price of our common stock.  These quarterly and annual fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including the size of new contracts and when we are able to recognize the related revenue; our rate of progress under our contracts; the timing of customer and market acceptance of our products and service offerings; budgeting cycles of our customers; the mix of products and services sold; changes in demand for our products and services; level and timing of expenses for product development and sales, general and administrative expenses; competition; changes in our strategy; general economic conditions.

Personnel costs are a significant component of our budgeted expense levels and, therefore, our expenses are, to a degree, variable based upon our expectations regarding future revenue.  Our revenue is difficult to forecast because the market for our products and services is rapidly changing, and our sales cycle and the size and timing of significant contracts varies substantially among customers. Accordingly, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenue.  Any significant shortfall from anticipated levels of demand for our products and services could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Based on these factors, we believe our future quarterly and annual operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons of operating results are not necessarily meaningful nor do they indicate what our future performance will be. Furthermore, we believe that in future reporting periods if our operating results fall below the expectations of public market analysts or investors, it is possible that the market price of our common stock could go down.

Our results of operations could be negatively impacted if we are unable to manage our liquidity.

Our cash forecast indicates that we will have sufficient liquidity to cover anticipated operating costs as well as debt service payments for at least the next twelve months, but this could be negatively impacted if we are unable to invoice and collect from our customers in a timely manner, if our revenue levels fall below forecast, or expenses exceed what we projected, or an unexpected adverse event, or combination of events occurs.  Therefore, if the timing of cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may require access to additional funds to support our business objectives through another debt restructuring, a credit facility or possibly the issuance of additional equity.  Additional financing may not be available at all or, if available, may not be obtainable on terms that are favorable to us and not dilutive.

We depend on a limited number of significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenues, and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely affect our business.

In the past, and currently, we earn a significant portion of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers.  Although this has been mitigated somewhat by the expansion of our product, service and customer base through expansion into broader markets, the loss of any significant customer, delays in delivery or acceptance of any of our products by a customer, delays in the performance of services for a customer, or delays in collection of customer receivables could harm our business and operating results.

Our business depends largely on our ability to attract and retain talented employees.

Our ability to manage future expansion, if any, effectively will require us to attract, train, motivate and manage new employees successfully, to integrate new management and employees into our overall operations and to continue to improve our operations, financial and management systems.  We may not be able to retain personnel or to hire additional personnel on a timely basis, if at all.  Because of the complexity and training required in certain of our services, a significant time lag exists between the hiring date of technical and sales personnel and the time when they become fully productive.  Our failure to retain personnel or to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis could adversely affect our business by impacting our ability to service certain customers and to secure new contracts.

We are subject to extensive environmental regulations that may increase our costs and potential liabilities.

The operations of all companies in the environmental services industry are subject to federal, state, provincial and local environmental requirements.  Although increasing environmental regulation often presents new business opportunities for us, it also results in increased operating and compliance costs.  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, purchasing health and safety equipment, and in some cases hiring outside consultants. Even with these programs, we and other companies in the environmental services industry are faced with governmental 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 for cleanup of releases of regulated materials, and also liability for related natural resource damages.

At some time in the future we may be required to pay fines or penalties due to regulatory enforcement proceedings and such fines or penalties could have a negative impact on our earnings.  Additionally, regulatory authorities have the power to suspend or revoke permits or licenses needed for our operations, which may affect our customers’ willingness to do business with us and/or out ability to conduct business.  This, in turn, would impact our revenue and profitability.  To date, we have never had any of our operating permits revoked, suspended or non-renewed involuntarily, although it is possible that could occur in the future.

Changes in environmental regulations or entry into related businesses may require us to make significant capital expenditures.

Changes in environmental regulations or our entry into new businesses can require us to make significant capital expenditures.  Periodically the government revises rules and regulations regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous waste that requires us and other companies in the environmental services industry to invest in new equipment, training or other areas in order to remain in compliance.  Additionally, because we intend to expand our business through the acquisition of complementary businesses, we anticipate the need raised additional capital to support such acquisitions.  Future environmental regulations and acquisitions could cause us to make significant additional capital expenditures and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow.

If our internal growth objectives prove to be inaccurate, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

While we believe that increasing environmental regulations and our growing product and services portfolio provide us with ample growth opportunities, it is possible that we will not be able to achieve our internal growth objectives due to potentialities such as a lack of growth capital, intense competition, regulatory issues, loss of permits and licenses, and other factors.  Likewise, while we also intend to grow through acquisition, it is possible that we will be unable to grow this way due to lack of adequate financing, lack of viable acquisition candidates, competition for such acquisitions and other factors.  To the extent that our growth objectives prove to be significantly different than actual results, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

 
8

 
 
Disruptions from terrorist activities or military actions may have an adverse effect on our business.

The continued threat of terrorism within the U.S. and acts of war may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world.  Our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected to the extent that such disruptions result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, delays in collecting cash, a general decrease in corporate spending, or our inability to effectively market, manufacture or ship our products. We are unable to predict whether war and the threat of terrorism or the responses thereto will result in any long-term commercial disruptions or if such activities or responses will have any long-term material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities, the compliance with which requires substantial amounts of management time and company resources.  Any material weaknesses in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock.

Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded.  These entities, including the SEC and other regulatory entities, have recently issued new requirements and regulations and are currently developing additional regulations and requirements in response to recent laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Our compliance with certain of these rules is likely to require the commitment of significant managerial resources.  We continue to review our material internal control systems, processes and procedures for compliance.  Such a review may result in the identification of material weaknesses in our internal controls.  Disclosures of material weaknesses in our SEC reports could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting and may negatively affect the price of our stock.  Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary to produce reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud.  If we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting it may negatively impact our business, results of operations and reputation.

We do business in a highly competitive industry and compete with companies that have substantially more resources that we do.

The industrial services industry is highly competitive.  Several of the companies with which we compete are larger, offer more services and products, have better access to growth capital, have larger sales and marketing departments and larger workforces and other advantages that may make it difficult for us to win new business when in competition with them.

Our stock is considered a "penny stock," and is therefore considered risky.

OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet stocks, and especially those being offered for less than $5.00 per share, are often known as "penny stocks" and are subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stocks. These disclosures require you to acknowledge you understand the risk associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the entire loss of your investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often times volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want. With certain exceptions, brokers selling our
stock must adhere to regulations, which include the following:

 
·
Brokers must provide you with a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.
 
·
Brokers must disclose price quotations and other information relating to the penny stock market.
 
·
Brokers must disclose any compensation they receive from the sale of our stock.
 
·
Brokers must provide a disclosure of any compensation paid to any associated persons in connection with transactions relating to our stock.
 
·
Brokers must provide you with quarterly account statements.
 
·
Brokers may not sell any of our stock that is held in escrow or trust accounts.
 
·
Prior to selling our stock, brokers must approve your account for buying and selling penny stocks.
 
·
Brokers must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

These additional sales practices and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities.  In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with related adverse effects on the price of our securities.

We have not paid and do not expect in the foreseeable future to pay dividends on our common stock.

We have not paid and do not anticipate paying for the foreseeable future any dividends on our common stock.  We intend to reinvest future earnings, if any, into the operation and expansion of our business and payment of our outstanding debt.

Certain directors and officers own substantial amounts of our common stock and, as a group, will have the ability to exercise substantial influence over matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.

As of December 31, 2012, Michael J. Cardillo, founder, director and president of our REGS, LLC subsidiary, and J John Combs III, president, CEO and director of SEER, beneficially held approximately 33.4% of our outstanding common stock.  As a result, our directors and officers may be able to exercise substantial influence over matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transactions. These stockholders may also delay or prevent a change of control even if such a change of control would benefit our other stockholders.  The significant concentration of stock ownership might cause the trading price of our common stock to decline if investors were to perceive that conflicts of interest may exist or arise over any such potential transactions.  Potential future sales of common stock by our directors and executive officers, and our other principal stockholders, may cause our stock price to fall.

General risk statement .

Based on all of the foregoing, we believe it is possible for future revenue, expenses and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons of operating results are not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance. Furthermore, we believe that it is possible that in any given quarter or fiscal year our operating results could differ from the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In such event or in the event that adverse conditions prevail, or are perceived to prevail, with respect to our business or generally, the market price of our common stock would likely decline.

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 notes that appear elsewhere in this report. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. See “Cautionary Statements” at the beginning of this report on Form 10 for additional discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties. 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.

Overview

SEER was formed as a publicly traded company in early 2008 through a reverse merger.  SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and product businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost effective, and profitable solutions in the oil & gas, environmental, waste management and renewable energy industries.  SEER currently operates four companies with three offices in the western and mid-western U.S.  These companies have licensed and owned technologies with field use installations throughout the U.S.

The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s existing customer base and 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 environmental, water treatment and oil & gas services.  At the same time, SEER intends to increase sales of new and patent-pending technologies into the fast growing markets of vapor/emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale, CNG fuel generation, as well as medical and pharmaceutical waste destruction.  Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides truly synergistic services and products.

Financial Condition

At March 31, 2013 we had negative working capital of $1.25 million compared to negative working capital of $1.4 million at December 31, 2012.  At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $1.4 million in negative working capital, which represents a decrease (an improvement) of approximately $1 million from negative working capital at December 31, 2011 of $2.1 million. The decreases in negative working capital are primarily the result of the use of proceeds from equity financing to reduce payables and finance the loss from operations.

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $11.77 million as of March 31, 2013, $11.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, we incurred net losses of approximately $1.7 million and $1.57 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 we incurred a loss of $239,900.  AS of March 31, 2013, our current liabilities exceed our current assets by $1.25 million. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and our total liabilities exceeded our total assets by $1.2 million and $2 million, respectively.

Realization of a major portion of our assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, is dependent upon our continued operations.  Accordingly, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 we raised approximately $494,000 from the sale of common stock.  In 2012, we raised approximately $1.3 million through the sale of common stock and converted approximately $.7 million in debt to equity. In addition, we have focused on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions.  We made additions to our senior management team to support these initiatives, and focused on streamlining our business model to improve profitability.  We also increased our business development efforts in MV to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. For the period January 1, 2013 through April 26, 2013, we raised approximately $516,000 in equity financing through the sale of common stock and management plans to raise additional equity financing through the sale of common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. Management believes that current working capital and proceeds from the sale of common stock in 2013 will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2013 and into the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2011

Total revenues were $6.9 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase of approximately $300,000 or 4.5% in revenues comparing the year ended December 31, 2012 to the year ended December 31, 2011 is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues from our industrial cleaning segment.

Operating costs, which include cost of products, cost of services and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, was $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase from 2011 to 2012 was primarily attributable to SG&A expense which increased from approximately $3.4 million to approximately $4.1 million.  Stock issued for services, a component of SG&A, increased from $96,000 in 2011 to $512,000 in 2012. In addition, salaries and wages, the single largest component of SG&A, increased from $1.1 million in 2011 to $1.2 million in 2012.  Research and development was $412,000 in 2012 compared to $2,000 in 2011.

Other expense was $67,800 in 2012 and $338,600 in 2011. Other expense in 2011 was primarily comprised of interest expense of $188,000, penalties and fees of $105,000 and loss on disposition of equipment of $63,000.  In 2012, other expense was primarily comprised of interest expense of $304,000, penalties and fees of $26,000, offset by a gain on debt conversion of $306,000.

There is no provision for income taxes for both the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, due to our net losses for both periods.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1.69 million compared to a net loss of $1.57 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The net loss attributable to SEER after deducting $199,600 for the non-controlling interest was $1.49 million for 2012 as compared to $1.57 million for 2011.  There was no non-controlling interest in 2011.  Despite the $273,000 increase in revenues over 2011, that increased revenue was offset by SG&A costs.

Changes in Cash Flow

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1.45 million compared to $75,000 net cash used by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011.  Cash used by operating activities is driven by our net loss and adjusted by non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation expense. Additionally, the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements affects our operating assets and cash balances.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to capital expenditures.  Our capital expenditures were $77,000 and $101,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million for 2012 compared to $176,000 for 2011.  The significant increase in 2012 was attributable to proceeds from the sale of common stock of $1.3 million, proceeds from debt financing of $575,000 offset by $309,000 in payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations, $69,000 in payments on related party notes payable in 2012 compared to 2011 proceeds from the sale of common stock of $199,000, proceeds from notes payable of $105,000, proceeds of $61,000 from related party notes payable, offset by $173,000 in payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations and $16,000 in payments on related party notes payable.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Total revenues were $2.57 million and $1.10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.47 million or 134% in revenues comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues from our industrial cleaning and environmental solutions segments.

Operating costs, which include cost of products, cost of services and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, was $2.78 million for the quarter ended march 31, 2013 compared to $1.45 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to 2013 was primarily attributable the 134% increase in revenues which resulted in an increase of $875,000, or 119%, in product and service costs.  In addition SG&A expense increased from approximately $465,000 to approximately $1,175,000. PWS was a newly formed entity and SG&A costs were $149,000, which includes $93,000 in research and development, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  In addition, salaries and wages, the single largest component of SG&A, increased from $289,000 in Q1 2012 to $400,000 in Q1 2013.

Other expense, net was $23,300 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $73,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Other expense is primarily comprised of interest expense.  The primary reason for the decrease in interest expense is the reduction in interest bearing debt by approximately $700,000.

There is no provision for income taxes for both the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, due to our net losses for both periods.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $239,900 compared to a net loss of $416,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The net loss attributable to SEER after deducting $68,400 for the non-controlling interest was $171,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $416,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Changes in Cash Flow

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $201,700 compared to net cash used by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $280,500.  The reduction in the net cash used in operating activities is the result of our decrease in our net loss. Cash used by operating activities is driven by our net loss and adjusted by non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation expense. Additionally, the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements affects our operating assets and cash balances.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to capital expenditures.  Our capital expenditures were $191,800 and $22,600 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $453,300 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $270,000 for quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in proceeds from the sale of common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended march 31, 2012.

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 $92,000 and $300,000 has been reserved as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012, 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.

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 its 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.  No impairment was determined as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue related to contract projects and services when all of the following criteria are met:  (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is primarily comprised of services related to industrial cleaning and railcar cleaning, which we recognize as services are rendered.

Product revenue generated from projects, which include the manufacturing of products, for removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gasses is accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method for projects with durations in excess of three months and the completed-contract method for all other projects.  Total estimated revenue includes all of the following:  (1) the basic contract price (2) contract options (3) change orders (4) claims and (5) contract provisions for penalties and incentive payments, including award fees and performance incentives.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, we recognize revenue primarily based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs.  Performance incentives are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when their realization is reasonably assured.  Cancellation fees are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when the cancellation notice is received from the client.

 
15

 
 
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the losses are identified.  The cumulative effect of changes to estimated contract profit and loss, including those arising from contract penalty provisions such as liquidated damages, final contract settlements, warranty claims and reviews of our costs performed by clients, are recognized in the period in which the revisions are identified.  To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we report such a change by recognizing a charge against current earnings.

For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, we include in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date over billings to date, and are recognized as a current asset.  Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date, and are recognized as a current liability.

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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all new or revised ASU’s.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.

In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company for our annual impairment test for fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 
16

 
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). ASU 2013-02 intends to help the Company improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of AOCI in the Company’s financial statements. ASU 2013-02 does not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or OCI in the Company’s financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (“ASU 2013-05”). The objective of ASU 2013-05 is to clarify the applicable guidance for the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. As of December 31, 2012 we do not believe we are exposed to significant market risks due to changes in U.S. interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar.

ITEM 7.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

For general securities representation, the companies utilize the services of Dieterich & Associates.  In 2012, total fees paid to that firm were approximately $8,795.00.  Fees paid are reviewed by the other directors and compared against law firms offering similar securities expertise on an annual basis.
 
Director Independence

As of this filing, none of the directors is considered independent.  In 2013, the company intends to identify and elect two or more independent directors.

Board Meetings and committees; annual meeting attendance

There were two board meetings held in 2012, both of which were fully attended by the three directors.

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.

Audit Committee

In 2013, the Company intends to form an audit committee to oversee all matters related to the Company’s financial activities and reporting requirements.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

None

Compensation Committee

In 2013, the Company intends to form a compensation committee to oversee all matters related to the Company’s compensation plans and packages.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

During the Private Placement of 2011, the Company issued 320,000 shares to Corporate Capital Group, as brokerage fees, and an additional 320,000 warrants having a three-year exercise period and a strike price of $0.50 per share.  This compensation was valued at $15,000.

ITEM 8.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are and may be involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved actions, we do not believe, based on current knowledge, that any legal proceeding or claim is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The issuance of these shares of our common stock described above was pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and related state private offering exemptions. All of the investors were Accredited Investors as defined in the Securities Act who took their shares for investments purposes without a view to distribution and had access to information concerning the company and its business prospects, as required by the Securities Act.
 
   In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the purchase of these shares. All certificates for these shares issued pursuant to Section 4(2) contain a restrictive legend. Finally, our stock transfer agent has been instructed not to transfer any of such shares, unless such shares are registered for resale or there is an exemption with respect to their transfer.

ITEM 11.  DESCRIPTION OF REGSTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  As of the date of this Report on Form 10, the Company has approximately 40,349,434   shares of its Common Stock outstanding. No Preferred Stock has been issued.

ITEM 12.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Corporation Laws of the State of Nevada and the Company's Bylaws provide for indemnification of our Directors for expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of having been our Director(s) or Officer(s), or of such other corporation, except, in relation to matter as to which any such Director or Officer or former Director or Officer or person shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE

250,000 SHARES

STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

(Incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada)

WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF
THE $.001 PAR VALUE COMMON STOCK OF
STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

EXERCISABLE ONLY AFTER _____ 2011
AND VOID AFTER ______ 2014   (3 years)

1.        Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc.,  Inc. (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, _______   (referred to herein as the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, at anytime from and after ______, 2011, and on or before ______, 2014 (the "Warrant Period"), up to 250,000 shares of the $.001 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company.  This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part.  Such exercise shall be accomplished by tender to the Company of the purchase price of $.50 per share (the “Warrant Price”), either in cash (wired funds) or by certified check or bank cashier's check, payable to the order of the Company, together with presentation and surrender to the Company of this Warrant with an executed subscription in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”  Fractional shares of the Company's Common Stock will not be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. Upon twenty (20) days' prior written notice to all holders of the Warrants, the Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the term of the Warrants.

2.        The Company agrees at all times to reserve and hold available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the number of shares of its Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this and all other Warrants of like tenor then outstanding.  The Company further covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof hereunder.

 
1

 
 
3.        This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, nor to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein set forth, and no dividend shall be payable or accrue by reason of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby, or the shares purchasable hereunder, until or unless, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is exercised.

4.        The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 4.

(a)       In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (a), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.  An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b)      For the purpose of this Section 4, the term shares of Common Stock shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the date of this Warrant, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.

(c)       If during the Warrant Period the Company consolidates with or merges into another corporation or transfers all or substantially all of its assets the Holder shall thereafter be entitled upon exercise hereof to purchase, with respect to each share of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the date upon which such consolidation or merger becomes effective, the securities or property to which a holder of shares of Common Stock is entitled upon such consolidation or merger, without any change in, or payment in addition to the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to ensure that all of the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(d)      Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares or other securities or other property obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant may continue to state the Warrant Price and the number of shares obtainable upon exercise, as the same price and number of shares stated herein.

(e)      Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by Cash Exercise: cash (wired Funds), bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer, at the election of Holder.

(f)      “ Exempt Issuance ” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (which shall include the approval of all independent directors, if any) or a committee of non-directors (which shall include the approval of all independent directors, if any) established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities, provided all holders of the Secured Notes receive the same conversion terms,
 
 
2

 
 
(c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, provided any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities or (d) in connection with the Company’s raising $3 to $4 million in capital form an institutional investor in the six months following the date of this Warrant.

5.        The Holder hereby agrees that the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof may be subject to a "lock-up" pursuant to any restrictions reasonably required by any underwriter, if applicable, and to the extent the Company undertakes a secondary offering.

6.        The Company may cause the following legend or one similar thereto to be set forth on each certificate representing Warrant Stock or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.

7.        In the event that the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act which relates to a current offering of Securities of the Company (except in connection with an offering on Form S-8 or S-4 or any other inappropriate form), such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) shall also, at the written request to the Company by the Holder, relate to and meet the requirements of the Act with respect to any public offering of the Warrant Stock shares so as to permit the public sale of all or some portion of the Warrant Stock.  The Company shall give written notice to the Holder of its intention to file a registration statement under the Act relating to a current offering of securities of the Company not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such registration statement.  Any written request of the holder to include the Warrant Stock shares held by the Holder shall be given to the Company not less than five (5) days prior to the date specified in the notice as the date on which such registration statement is intended to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the delivery of such notice by the Company nor of such request by the Holder shall obligate the Company to file such registration statement and notwithstanding the filing of such registration statement, the Company may, at any time prior to the effective date thereof, determine to withdraw such registration statement and not offer the securities intended to be offered by the Company to which the registration statement relates, without liability to Holder on account thereof.

8.       If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.  
 
 
3

 
 
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the exercise price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer.

4.        The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 4.

(a)       In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (a), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.  An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(d)      Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares or other securities or other property obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant may continue to state the Warrant Price and the number of shares obtainable upon exercise, as the same price and number of shares stated herein.

(e)      Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by Cash Exercise: cash (wired Funds), bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer, at the election of Holder.

5.        The Holder hereby agrees that the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof may be subject to a "lock-up" pursuant to any restrictions reasonably required by any underwriter, if applicable, and to the extent the Company undertakes a secondary offering.

6.        The Company may cause the following legend or one similar thereto to be set forth on each certificate representing Warrant Stock or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.

7.        In the event that the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act which relates to a current offering of Securities of the Company (except in connection with an offering on Form S-8 or S-4 or any other inappropriate form), such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) shall also, at the written request to the Company by the Holder, relate to and meet the requirements of the Act with respect to any public offering of the Warrant Stock shares so as to permit the public sale of all or some portion of the Warrant Stock.  The Company shall give written notice to the Holder of its intention to file a registration statement under the Act relating to a current offering of securities of the Company not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such registration statement.  Any written request of the holder to include the Warrant Stock shares held by the Holder shall be given to the Company not less than five (5) days prior to the date specified in the notice as the date on which such registration statement is intended to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the delivery of such notice by the Company nor of such request by the Holder shall obligate the Company to file such registration statement and notwithstanding the filing of such registration statement, the Company may, at any time prior to the effective date thereof, determine to withdraw such registration statement and not offer the securities intended to be offered by the Company to which the registration statement relates, without liability to Holder on account thereof.

8.       If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the exercise price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. 
 
 
3

 
 
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer.

EXHIBIT “A” TO EXCHANGE & ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

The licensed Technology entails a cold plasma oxidation process that allows for the destruction of hazardous, chemical and biological waste via a non-thermal, non-pyrolitic process that can be operated as a stand-alone system or in conjunction with an existing thermal treatment pre-treatment process. The waste is converted using by injecting waste into a stream of free radicals that break the waste apart.  The high kinetic energy induced in the field creates numerous ionized, excited and dissociated species with varying levels of chemical activity.  These species create the perfect environment for plasma chemical reactors, with the ability to convert carbonaceous materials and steam to inert gasses.

Rather than using brute force thermal methods (incineration or hot plasmas) to destroy waste, the Technology utilizes very low current but high voltage fields working on a molecule’s internal dipole to break up molecules into fragments of their constituent molecules. Once the low temperature plasma is created, the exothermic system is thermally managed in order to convert the ions, atoms, molecular fragments and plasma to a carefully controlled series of products (carbon dioxide and water).

The Technology includes any mechanical delivery or form of the process, including, but not limited to, batch, continuous feed, or any related process.

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. 10-12b
 
Exhibit 14.1
 
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees
 
of
 
STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
 
1. TREAT IN AN ETHICAL MANNER THOSE TO WHOM THE COMPANY. HAS AN OBLIGATION.
 
The officers, directors and employees of COMPANY (the "Company") are committed to honesty, just management, fairness, providing a safe and healthy environment free from the fear of retribution, and respecting the dignity due everyone. For the communities in which we live and work we are committed to observe sound environmental business practices and to act as concerned and responsible neighbors, reflecting all aspects of good citizenship. For our shareholders we are committed to pursuing sound growth and earnings objectives and to exercising prudence in the use of our assets and resources. For our suppliers and partners we are committed to fair competition and the sense of responsibility required of a good customer and teammate.
 
2. PROMOTE A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
 
All employees want and deserve a workplace where they feel respected, satisfied, and appreciated. We respect cultural diversity and will not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind -- especially involving race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, and veteran or marital status. Providing an environment that supports honesty, integrity, respect, trust, responsibility, and citizenship permits us the opportunity to achieve excellence in our workplace. While everyone who works for the Company must contribute to the creation and maintenance of such an environment, our executives and management personnel assume special responsibility for fostering a work environment that is free from the fear of retribution and will bring out the best in all of us. Supervisors must be careful in words and conduct to avoid placing, or seeming to place, pressure on subordinates that could cause them to deviate from acceptable ethical behavior.
 
3. PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR FELLOW EMPLOYEES, AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
 
We are committed to providing a drug-free, safe and healthy work environment, and to observing environmentally sound business practices. We will strive, at a minimum, to do no harm and where possible, to make the communities in which we work a better place to live. Each of us is responsible for compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
 
4. KEEP ACCURATE AND COMPLETE RECORDS.
 
We must maintain accurate and complete Company records. Transactions between the Company and outside individuals and organizations must be promptly and accurately entered in our books in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and principles. No one should rationalize or even consider misrepresenting facts or falsifying records. It will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.
 
 
1

 
 
5. OBEY THE LAW.
 
We will conduct our business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the law does not comprise our entire ethical responsibility. Rather, it is a. minimum, absolutely essential condition for performance of our duties. In conducting business, we shall:
 
a.           STRICTLY ADHERE TO ALL ANTITRUST LAWS. Officer, directors and employees must strictly adhere to all antitrust laws. Such laws exist in the United States and in many other countries where the Company may conduct business. These laws prohibit practices in restraint of trade such as price fixing and boycotting suppliers or customers. They also bar pricing intended to run a competitor out of business; disparaging, misrepresenting, or harassing a competitor; stealing trade secrets; bribery; and kickbacks.
 
b.            STRICTLY COMPLY WITH ALL SECURITIES LAWS. In our role as a publicly owned company, we must always be alert to and comply with the security laws and regulations of the United States and other countries.
 
i. DO NOT ENGAGE IN SPECULATIVE OR INSIDER TRADING. Federal law and Company policy prohibits officers, directors and employees, directly or indirectly through their families or others, from purchasing or selling company stock while in the possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company. This same prohibition applies to trading in the stock of other publicly held companies on the basis of material, non-public information. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, Company policy also prohibits officers, directors and employees from trading options on the open market in Company stock under any circumstances. Material, non-public information is any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of a stock. If an officer, director or employee is considering buying or selling a stock because of inside information they possess, they should assume that such information is material. It is also important for the officer, director or employee to keep in mind that if any trade they make becomes the subject of an investigationby the government, the trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. Consequently, officers, directors and employees should always carefully consider how their trades would look from this perspective. Two simple rules can help protect you in this area: (1) Do not use nonpublic information for personal gain. (2) Do not pass along such information to someone else who has no need to know. This guidance also applies to the securities of other companies for which you receive information in the course of your employment at The Company .
 
 ii. BE TIMELY AND ACCURATE IN ALL PUBLIC REPORTS. As a public company, the Company must be fair and accurate in all reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and management of the Company are responsible for ensuring that all reports are filed in a timely manner and that they fairly present the financial condition and operating results of the Company. Securities laws are vigorously enforced. Violations may result in severe penalties including forced sales of parts of the business and significant fines against the Company. There may also be sanctions against individual employees including substantial fines and prison sentences. The principal executive officer and principal financial Officer will certify to the accuracy of reports filed with the SEC in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Officers and Directors who knowingly or willingly make false certifications may be subject to criminal penalties or sanctions including fines and imprisonment.
 
 
2

 
 
6. AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
 
Our officers, directors and employees have an obligation to give their complete loyalty to the best interests of the Company. They should avoid any action that may involve, or may appear to involve, a conflict of interest with the Company. Officers, directors and employees should not have any financial or other business relationships with suppliers, customers or competitors that might impair, or even appear to impair, the independence of any judgment they may need to make on behalf of the Company. HERE ARE SOME WAYS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST COULD ARISE: Employment by a competitor, or potential competitor, regardless of the nature of the employment, while employed by the Company. Acceptance of gifts, payment, or services from those seeking to do business with the Company. Placement of business with a firm owned or controlled by an officer, director or employee or his/her family. Ownership of, or substantial interest in, a company that is a competitor, client or supplier. Acting as a consultant to the Company, a customer, client or supplier. Seeking the services or advice of an accountant or attorney who has provided services to the Company. Officers, directors and employees are under a continuing obligation to disclose any situation that presents the possibility of a conflict or disparity of interest between the officer, director or employee and the Company. Disclosure of any potential conflict is the key to remaining in full compliance with this policy.
 
7. COMPETE ETHICALLY AND FAIRLY FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
 
We must comply with the laws and regulations that pertain to the acquisition of goods and services. We will compete fairly and ethically for all business opportunities. In circumstances where there is reason to believe that the release or receipt of non-public information is unauthorized, do not attempt to obtain and do not accept such information from any source. If you are involved in Company transactions, you must be certain that all statements, communications, and representations are accurate and truthful.
 
8. AVOID ILLEGAL AND QUESTIONABLE GIFTS OR FAVORS.
 
The sale and marketing of our products and services should always be free from even the perception that favorable treatment was sought, received, or given in exchange for the furnishing or receipt of business courtesies. Officers, directors and employees of the Company will neither give nor accept business courtesies that constitute, or could be reasonably perceived as constituting, unfair business inducements or that would violate law, regulation or policies of the Company, or could cause embarrassment to or reflect negatively on the Company's reputation.
 
9. MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES.
 
Business integrity is a key standard for the selection and retention of those who represent the Company. Agents, representatives and consultants must certify their willingness to comply with the Company's policies and procedures and must never be retained to circumvent our values and principles. Paying bribes or kickbacks, engaging in industrial espionage, obtaining the proprietary data of a third party without authority, or gaining inside information or influence are just a few examples of what could give us an unfair competitive advantage and could result in violations of law.
 
 
3

 
 
10. PROTECT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
 
Proprietary Company information may not be disclosed to anyone without proper authorization. Keep proprietary documents protected and secure. In the course of normal business activities, suppliers, customers and competitors may sometimes divulge to you information that is proprietary to their business. Respect these confidences.
 
11. OBTAIN AND USE COMPANY ASSETS WISELY.
 
Personal use of Company property must always be in accordance with corporate policy. Proper use of Company property, information resources, material, facilities and equipment is your responsibility. Use and maintain these assets with the utmost care and respect, guarding against waste and abuse, and never borrow or remove Company property without management's permission.
 
12. FOLLOW THE LAW AND USE COMMON SENSE IN POLITIC CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACTIVITIES.
 
The Company encourages its employees to become involved in civic affairs and to participate in the political process. Employees must understand, however, that their involvement and participation must be on an individual basis, on their own time and at their own expense. In the United States, federal law prohibits corporations from donating corporate funds, goods, or services, directly or indirectly, to candidates for federal offices -- this includes employees' work time. Local and state laws also govern political contributions and activities as they apply to their respective jurisdictions.
 
13. BOARD COMMITTEES.
 
The Company shall establish an Audit Committee empowered to enforce this Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee will report to the Board of Directors at least once each year regarding the general effectiveness of the Company's Code of Ethics, the Company's controls and reporting procedures and the Company's business conduct.
 
14.  DISCIPLINARY MEASURES.
 
The Company shall consistently enforce its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct through appropriate means of discipline. Violations of the Code shall be promptly reported to the Audit Committee. Pursuant to procedures adopted by it, the Audit Committee shall determine whether violations of the Code have occurred and, if so, shall determine the disciplinary measures to be taken against any employee or agent of the Company who has so violated the Code. The disciplinary measures, which may be invoked at the discretion of the Audit Committee, include, but are not limited to, counseling, oral or written reprimands, warnings, probation or suspension without pay, demotions, reductions in salary, termination of employment and restitution. Persons subject to disciplinary measures shall include, in addition to the violator, others involved in the wrongdoing such as (i) persons who fail to use reasonable care to detect a violation, (ii) persons who if requested to divulge information withhold material information regarding a violation, and (iii) supervisors who approve or condone the violations or attempt to retaliate against employees or agents for reporting violations or violators.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Organization

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER”, “we” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of industrial products and services in the environmental, energy, and rail transportation sectors. SEER has three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries which provide industrial services to companies in the petroleum, industrial, manufacturing, and medical industries: REGS, LLC (d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”)) provides mobile cleaning services to refineries and other entities in Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Kansa and Utah and also operates a site in Utah, on behalf of another company, to treat frac water resulting from oil and gas exploration; Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC (“TCC”) provides cleaning services to railcar tankers from its sites in Colorado and Kansas; MV, LLC (“MV”), located in Colorado, designs and builds emission and odor control units for refineries, municipalities and other corporate entities; and two majority-owned subsidiaries, Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”) a newly formed operating company, owned 54% by SEER (see Note 7) th at is developing specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize certain patent-pending technologies for a cold plasma oxidation process that makes possible the clean destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste ( i.e ., hospital red bag waste) without traditional incineration with harmful emissions and BeneFuels, LLC (“BeneFuels”), formed in February 2013, owned 90% by SEER and was formed to focus specifically on treating biogas for conversion to pipeline quality gas and/or CNG for fleet vehicles. BeneFuels had no operations as of May 7, 2013.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, REGS, TCC and MV and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and BeneFuels, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation- Liquidity

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $11.6millionas of December 31, 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, we incurred net losses of approximately $1.7million and $1.57 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and our total liabilities exceeded our total assets by $1.2 million and $2 million, respectively.

Realization of a major portion of our assets as of December 31, 2012, is dependent upon our continued operations. Accordingly, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. In 2012, we raised approximately $1.3 million through the sale of common stock and converted approximately $.5 million in debt to equity. In addition, we have focused on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions. We made additions to our senior management team to support these initiatives, and focused on streamlining our business model to improve profitability. We also increased our business development efforts in MV to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. For the period January 1, 2013 through April 26, 2013, we raised approximately $516,000 in equity financing through the sale of common stock and management plans to raise additional equity financing through the sale of common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. Management believes that current working capital and proceeds from the sale of common stock in 2013 will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2013 and into the foreseeable future.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
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 and 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, we maintain deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not hold any assets that would be deemed to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2012, the company had $220,000 of self-imposed restricted cash that was maintained by its attorney in a special trust account created for the purpose of making payments to the IRS in accordance with an installment plan (see Note 8).

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. 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 periodically reviewed 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 $92,900 and $299,700 has been reserved as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012, we do not believe that we have significant credit risk.

As of December 31, 2012, we had one customer who comprised approximately 38% of our accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2011, we had one customer who comprised 38%, respectively, of our accounts receivable.

As of December 31, 2012, we had two customers with sales in excess of 10% of our revenue and combined were in excess of 27%. We did not have any customers with sales in excess of 10% of our revenue in 2011.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
 
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.

Fair Value

As defined in authoritative guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (“exit price”). To estimate fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.

The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1” measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3” measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Other inputs that are observable, directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.

In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
 
Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using the specific identification method. Our inventory is primarily comprised of accumulated costs related to MV contracts. These costs represent recoverable costs incurred for production, including materials, engineering time billed as incurred and allocable operating overhead. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow-moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable value through an appropriate reserve. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there was no inventory reserve.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of generally five to seven years for equipment, five to ten years for vehicles and three years for computer related assets. Assets are depreciated starting at the time they are placed into service. A portion of depreciation expense is charged to cost of product revenue on the consolidated statement of operations.

Property and Equipment, continued

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term (including reasonably assured renewal periods), which range from three to seven years, or their estimated useful life.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives verses their estimated residual values, and are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. We conduct our annual impairment test on December 31 of each year. The Company has evaluated its intangibles for impairment and has determined that intangibles were not impaired.
 
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 its 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. No impairment was determined as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue related to contract projects and services when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Our revenue is primarily comprised of services related to industrial cleaning and railcar cleaning, which we recognize as services are rendered.

Product revenue generated from projects, which include the manufacturing of products, for removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gasses is accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method for projects with durations in excess of three months and the completed-contract method for all other projects. Total estimated revenue includes all of the following: (1) the basic contract price (2) contract options (3) change orders (4) claims and (5) contract provisions for penalties and incentive payments, including award fees and performance incentives.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, we recognize revenue primarily based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs. Performance incentives are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when their realization is reasonably assured. Cancellation fees are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when the cancellation notice is received from the client.

Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the losses are identified. The cumulative effect of changes to estimated contract profit and loss, including those arising from contract penalty provisions such as liquidated damages, final contract settlements, warranty claims and reviews of our costs performed by clients, are recognized in the period in which the revisions are identified. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we report such a change by recognizing a charge against current earnings.

Revenue Recognition, continued

For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, we include in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date over billings to date, and are recognized as a current asset. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date, and are recognized as a current liability.
 
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.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenses were $416,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

The Company has not filed federal and state tax returns since inception. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2008 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all new or revised ASU’s.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements, continued

In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements when implemented.

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company for our annual impairment test for fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (“ASU 2013-05”). The objective of ASU 2013-05 is to clarify the applicable guidance for the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

NOTE 7– INVESTMENT IN PARAGON WASTE SOLUTIONS LLC

In 2010, the Company and Black Stone Management Services, Inc. (“Black Stone”) formed PWS whereby 1,000,000 membership units were issued, the Company acquired 60% (600,000) of the membership units in PWS and Black Stone acquired 40% (400,000) of the membership units in PWS, respectively. In June 2012, the Company and Blackstone each allocated 10% of their respective membership units in PWS to two individuals, one of which is an officer of the Company and one which is a shareholder of the Company and an officer of a subsidiary. There was no value to the units at the time of the allocation. As of December 31, 2012 the Company owns 54% of the membership units, Black Stone 36% of the membership units and two individuals, one of which is an officer of the Company and one who is a shareholder, each own 5% each of the membership units.

In August, 2011, we acquired certain waste destruction technology intellectual property (the “IP”) from Black Stone in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $100,000. We estimated the useful life of the IP at ten years, which was consistent with the useful life of other technology included in our intangible assets, and management’s initial assessment of the potential marketability of the IP.

During 2012, we have provided approximately $415,000 in funding to PWS for further development and construction of a prototype commercial waste destruction unit. Black Stone has made no capital contributions or other funding to PWS. The intent of the operating agreement is that we will provide the funding as an advance against future earnings distributions made by PWS.

NOTE 8 - PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE

In 2009 and 2010, the Company became delinquent for unpaid federal employer and employee payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties related to the unpaid payroll taxes. Additionally, we had amounts outstanding for certain unpaid state payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties applicable to 2012 and 2011. All interest and penalties related to the delinquent federal and state payroll taxes are included in the section labeled “other income and expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations.

In September 2011, we received approval from the IRS to begin paying our outstanding federal payroll tax and related interest and penalties liabilities totaling approximately $971,000, for the aforementioned years 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 is paid in full. Through the duration of the Installment Plan, the IRS continues to charge penalties and interest at statutory rates. If the conditions of the Installment Plan are not met, the IRS may cancel it and may demand the outstanding liability to be repaid through a levy on income, bank accounts or other assets, or by seizing certain of our assets. Additionally, the IRS has filed a notice of federal tax lien against certain of our assets to satisfy the obligation. The IRS is to release this lien if and when we pay the full amount due. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding balance due to the IRS was $1,045,400, and $1,103,500, respectively. Two of the officers of the Company also have liability exposure for a portion of the taxes if the Company does not pay them.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amounts due for past due state payroll taxes, interest and penalties, was $35,400, and $32,100, respectively.

NOTE 9 – DEBT

In June 2011, we issued an unsecured promissory note to a third party in the amount of $40,000 (the “June 2011 Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a three year warrant to purchase 13,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In addition, a second note payable, to the same third party, in the amount of $25,000 plus $3,000 of accrued interest was also converted into the June 2011 Note, resulting in a new principal balance of $68,000. Principal payments were due beginning November 2011 and the June 2011 Note is in default as of December 31, 2012, as no payments have been made to date. We valued the warrant at $170 using the Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a debt discount. The debt discount was fully amortized during 2011.

In December 2011, we issued a secured promissory note to a third party in the amount of $50,000 (the “December 2011 Note”) bearing interest at 18% per year, secured by certain assets in TCC and a five year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We valued the warrant at $5,749 using the Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a debt discount. The December 2011 Note was paid in full in June 2012.

The Company entered into a loan agreement evidenced by a convertible secured promissory note with Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. on February 14, 2012. The amount of the convertible secured promissory note is $225,000. The loan agreement allows for an additional $225,000 to be borrowed upon meeting certain defined milestones and stipulates the Company provide the lenders, among other things, a security agreement which also identifies the collateral, a registration rights agreement granting piggy-back registration rights to the lender, a development agreement and use the loan proceeds for projects and transactions contemplated in the term sheet and development agreement. The note bears interest at 5 percent per annum. The entire loan and/or unpaid balance of the loan and accrued interest can be converted into the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share at any time at the option of the holder. However, if the lender does not convert any of the principal or interest into common stock then $112,500 of principal plus accrued interest will be due on demand on or after December 31, 2014.

We valued the warrant at approximately $6,000 using the Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a debt discount. The debt discount was fully amortized during 2011.

NOTE 13 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

We do not have a qualified stock option plan, but have issued stock purchase warrants and stock options on a discretionary basis to employees, directors, service providers and outside consultants.

The Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The Black Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. This option pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are: expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate, and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). The Company estimated a volatility factor utilizing a weighted average of comparable published volatilities. The Company applied the simplified method to determine the expected term of grants. The risk free interest rate is based on or approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for stock options as equity awards.

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, which considers estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes the expense or benefit from the effect of adjusting the estimated forfeiture rate in the period that the forfeiture estimate changes.

NOTE 14 – NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For all years presented in the consolidated financial statements, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted share calculations as they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective years. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all years presented.

Potentially dilutive securities were comprised of the following:

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2012, once we files our federal and state income tax returns we estimate we will have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal income tax of approximately $11 million. These carryforwards will expire between the years 2028 through 2031. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and the benefit from net operating losses that can be carried forward may be limited in certain circumstances. Events that may cause changes in the our tax carryovers include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. We carry a deferred tax valuation allowance equal to 100% of total deferred assets. In recording this allowance, we have considered a number of factors, but chiefly, our operating losses from inception. We have concluded that a valuation allowance is required for 100% of the total deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Deferred tax assets, all of which were long-term, were comprised of the following as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

NOTE 17 - 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”).

Pursuant to the EPA’s authorization of their RCRA equivalent programs, a number of states have regulatory programs governing the operations and permitting 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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Organization

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. ("SEER", "we" or the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of industrial products and services in the environmental, energy, and rail transportation sectors.  SEER has three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries which provide industrial services to companies in the petroleum, industrial, manufacturing, and medical industries:  REGS, LLC (d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services ("REGS")) provides mobile cleaning services to refineries and other entities in Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Kansas and Utah and also operates a site in Utah, on behalf of another company, to treat frac water resulting from oil and gas exploration;  Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC ("TCC") provides cleaning services to railcar tankers from its sites in Colorado and Kansas; MV, LLC ("MV"), located in Colorado, designs and builds emission and odor control units for refineries, municipalities and other corporate entities; and two majority-owned subsidiaries,   Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC ("PWS") a newly formed operating company, owned 54% by SEER (see Note 7) th at is developing specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize certain patent-pending technologies for a cold plasma oxidation process that makes possible the clean destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste ( i.e ., hospital red bag waste) without traditional incineration with harmful emissions and BeneFuels, LLC (“BeneFuels”), formed in February 2013, owned 90% by SEER and was formed to focus specifically on treating biogas for conversion to pipeline quality gas and/or CNG for fleet vehicles.  BeneFuels had no operations as of May 7, 2013.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, REGS, TCC and MV and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and BeneFuels, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period .

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10.

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 and 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.   Periodically, we maintain deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not hold any assets that would be deemed to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company had $131,600 and $220,000, respectively, of self-imposed restricted cash that was maintained by its attorney in a special trust account created for the purpose of making payments to the IRS in accordance with an installment plan (see Note 8).

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts.  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 periodically reviewed 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 $109,400 and $92,900 has been reserved as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

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.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using the specific identification method.  Our inventory is primarily comprised of accumulated costs related to MV contracts.  These costs represent recoverable costs incurred for production, including materials, engineering time billed as incurred and allocable operating overhead. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow-moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable value through an appropriate reserve. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was no inventory reserve.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.   Expenditures for replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized.   Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of generally five to seven years for equipment, five to ten years for vehicles and three years for computer related assets.  Assets are depreciated starting at the time they are placed into service.  A portion of depreciation expense is charged to cost of product revenue on the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Property and Equipment, continued

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term (including reasonably assured renewal periods), which range from three to seven years, or their estimated useful life.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives verses their estimated residual values, and are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable.  We conduct our annual impairment test on December 31 of each year. The Company has evaluated its intangibles for impairment and has determined that intangibles were not impaired.

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 its 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.  No impairment was determined as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue related to contract projects and services when all of the following criteria are met:  (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is primarily comprised of services related to industrial cleaning and railcar cleaning, which we recognize as services are rendered.

Product revenue generated from projects, which include the manufacturing of products, for removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gasses is accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method for projects with durations in excess of three months and the completed-contract method for all other projects.  Total estimated revenue includes all of the following:  (1) the basic contract price (2) contract options (3) change orders (4) claims and (5) contract provisions for penalties and incentive payments, including award fees and performance incentives.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, we recognize revenue primarily based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs.  Performance incentives are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when their realization is reasonably assured.  Cancellation fees are included in our estimates of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method when the cancellation notice is received from the client.

Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the losses are identified.  The cumulative effect of changes to estimated contract profit and loss, including those arising from contract penalty provisions such as liquidated damages, final contract settlements, warranty claims and reviews of our costs performed by clients, are recognized in the period in which the revisions are identified.  To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we report such a change by recognizing a charge against current earnings.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Revenue Recognition, continued

For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, we include in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date over billings to date, and are recognized as a current asset.  Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date, and are recognized as a current liability.

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.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Such expenses were $93,200 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

The Company has not filed federal and state tax returns since inception.  The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2008 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all new or revised ASU’s.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements in that entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company for our annual impairment test for fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (“ASU 2013-05”). The objective of ASU 2013-05 is to clarify the applicable guidance for the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

NOTE 7– INVESTMENT IN PARAGON WASTE SOLUTIONS LLC

In 2010, the Company and Black Stone Management Services, Inc. ("Black Stone") formed PWS whereby 1,000,000 membership units were issued, the Company acquired 60% (600,000) of the membership units in PWS and Black Stone acquired 40% (400,000) of the membership units in PWS, respectively. In June 2012, the Company and Blackstone each allocated 10% of their respective membership units in PWS to two individuals, one of which is an officer of the Company and one which is a shareholder of the Company and an officer of a subsidiary.  There was no value to the units at the time of the allocation.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company owns 54% of the membership units, Black Stone 36% of the membership units and two individuals, one of which is an officer of the Company and one who is a shareholder, each own 5% each of the membership units.

In August, 2011, we acquired certain waste destruction technology intellectual property (the "IP") from Black Stone in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $100,000.  We estimated the useful life of the IP at ten years, which was consistent with the useful life of other technology included in our intangible assets, and management’s initial assessment of the potential marketability of the IP.

During 2012, we have provided approximately $415,000 in funding to PWS for further development and construction of a prototype commercial waste destruction unit.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 we provided $135,800 in funding to PWS. Black Stone has made no capital contributions or other funding to PWS.  The intent of the operating agreement is that we will provide the funding as an advance against future earnings distributions made by PWS.

NOTE 8 - PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE

In 2009 and 2010, the Company became delinquent for unpaid federal employer and employee payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties related to the unpaid payroll taxes. Additionally, we had amounts outstanding for certain unpaid state payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties applicable to 2012 and 2011. All interest and penalties related to the delinquent federal and state payroll taxes are included in the section labeled “other income and expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations.

In September 2011, we received approval from the IRS to begin paying our outstanding federal payroll tax and related interest and penalties liabilities totaling approximately $971,000, for the aforementioned years 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 is paid in full.  Through the duration of the Installment Plan, the IRS continues to charge penalties and interest at statutory rates.  If the conditions of the Installment Plan are not met, the IRS may cancel it and may demand the outstanding liability to be repaid through a levy on income, bank accounts or other assets, or by seizing certain of our assets.  Additionally, the IRS has filed a notice of federal tax lien against certain of our assets to satisfy the obligation.  The IRS is to release this lien if and when we pay the full amount due.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance due to the IRS was $988,300, and $1,045,400, respectively.  Two of the officers’ of the Company also have liability exposure for a portion of the taxes if the Company does not pay them.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts due for past due state payroll taxes, interest and penalties, was $65,100 and $35,400, respectively.

NOTE 9 – DEBT

In June 2011, we issued an unsecured promissory note to a third party in the amount of $40,000 (the "June 2011 Note") bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and a three year warrant to purchase 13,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  In addition, a second note payable, to the same third party, in the amount of $25,000 plus $3,000 of accrued interest was also converted into the June 2011 Note, resulting in a new principal balance of $68,000.  Principal payments were due beginning November 2011 and the June 2011 Note is in default as of December 31, 2012, as no payments have been made to date.  We valued the warrant at $170 using the Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a debt discount.  The debt discount was fully amortized during 2011.

In December 2011, we issued a secured promissory note to a third party in the amount of $50,000 (the "December 2011 Note") bearing interest at 18% per year, secured by certain assets in TCC and a five year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. We valued the warrant at $5,749 using the Black-Scholes model and recorded this amount as a debt discount.  The December 2011 Note was paid in full in June 2012.

The Company entered into a loan agreement evidenced by a convertible secured promissory note with Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. on February 14, 2012.  The amount of the convertible secured promissory note is $225,000.  The loan agreement allows for an additional $225,000 to be borrowed upon meeting certain defined milestones and stipulates the Company provide the lenders, among other things, a security agreement which also identifies the collateral, a registration rights agreement granting piggy-back registration rights to the lender, a development agreement and use the loan proceeds for projects and transactions contemplated in the term sheet and development agreement.  The note bears interest at 5 percent per annum.  The entire loan and/or unpaid balance of the loan and accrued interest can be converted into the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share at any time at the option of the holder.  However, if the lender does not convert any of the principal or interest into common stock then $112,500 of principal plus accrued interest will be due on demand on or after December 31, 2014.

NOTE 12 – CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had sales from operations to two customers for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 that represented approximately 34% and 30% of our sales. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose us to a material adverse effect if one or more of these large customers were to experience financial difficulty or were to cease being customer for non-financial related issues.

NOTE 13 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares.  Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive.  For all years presented in the consolidated financial statements, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted share calculations as they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective years.  Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all years presented.

Potentially dilutive securities were comprised of the following:

   
March 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
             
Warrants
    6,487,500       2,777,000  
Options
    2,234,000       2,552,700  
Convertible notes payable
    225,000       900,000  
      8,946,500       6,229,700  

NOTE 14 - 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").

Pursuant to the EPA's authorization of their RCRA equivalent programs, a number of states have regulatory programs governing the operations and permitting 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.
