Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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) that 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 85% 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 $11.6 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. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2011 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

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

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.
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.
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 and (3) change orders. Once contract performance is underway, we may experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials and expectations regarding the period of performance. Such changes are "change orders" and may be initiated by us or by our clients. In many cases, agreement with the client as to the terms of change orders is reached prior to work commencing; however, sometimes circumstances require that work progress without obtaining client agreement. Revenue related to change orders is recognized as costs are incurred if it is probable that costs will be recovered by changing the contract price. The Company does not incur pre-contract costs.
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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
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 primarily due to financial constraints. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2008 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities. The Company has not been contacted by federal and state taxing authorities regarding these open tax periods although there can be no assurance they will not commence investigative procedures. Since we have had significant operating losses for the open years we do not believe that taxes owed, if any, would be material.
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, LLC ("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. Fortunato Villamagna, who serves as President of our subsidiary PWS, is a managing member and Chairman of Black Stone. 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. As noted above Mr. Villamagna, who serves as President of our subsidiary PWS, is a managing member and Chairman of Black Stone. 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.

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 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 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 13 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN, continued
Employee Benefit Plan
We have a defined contribution 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees. Additionally, at the discretion of management, we may make contributions to eligible participants, as defined. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we made contributions of approximately $30,750and $13,800, respectively.
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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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) that 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 85% 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 31, 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.
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
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 primarily due to financial constraints. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2008 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities. The Company has not been contacted by federal and state taxing authorities regarding these open tax periods although there can be no assurance they will not commence investigative procedures. Since we have had significant operating losses for the open years we do not believe that taxes owed, if any, would be material.
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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements, continued
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, LLC ("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. Fortunato Villamagna, who serves as President of our subsidiary PWS, is a managing member and Chairman of Black Stone. 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. As noted above Mr. Villamagna, who serves as President of our subsidiary PWS, is a managing member and Chairman of Black Stone. 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.
STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Notes payable, related parties
In February 2011, we executed a secured, promissory note with one of our officers in the amount of $50,000 (the “2011 Officer Note”). The 2011 Officer Note is secured by certain assets in MV and bears interest at 8% per annum and was originally due on August 15, 2011. It is currently due on demand. As additional consideration, we issued to the officer a five-year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. 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 11 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
In December 2012, we initiated a new private placement comprised of 200,000 shares and 100,000 warrants for $50,000. Each warrant is exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of $.50 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 we sold 9.9 units for proceeds of $494,000.
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 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 15 - 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.
