NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Organization and Going Concern
Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of next-generation clean-technologies, waste management innovations and related services. SEER has two wholly owned operating subsidiaries and three majority-owned subsidiaries; all of which together provide technology solutions and services to companies primarily in the oil and gas, refining, landfill, food, beverage & agriculture, and renewable fuel industries. The two wholly owned subsidiaries include: 1) MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies) (“MV”), designs and builds biogas conditioning solutions for the production of renewable natural gas, odor control systems and natural gas vapor capture primarily for landfill operations, waste-water treatment facilities, oil and gas fields, refineries, municipalities and food, beverage & agriculture operations throughout the U.S.; 2) Strategic Environmental Materials, LLC, (“SEM”), a materials technology company focused on development of cost-effective chemical absorbents. The Company had a third wholly owned subsidiary, REGS, LLC (d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”)), which was discarded and abandoned September 1, 2021, and all operations are included in discontinued operations (See Note 15).
The two majority-owned subsidiaries include 1) Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”), and 2) PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”). PWS is currently owned i 54% by SEER and PelleChar is owned i 51% by SEER.
PWS has developed specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize patented technologies for a non-thermal plasma-assisted oxidation process that makes possible the clean and efficient destruction of solid hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., regulated medical waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and refinery tank waste, etc.) without landfilling or traditional incineration and without harmful emissions. Additionally, PWS’ technology “cleans” and conditions emissions and gaseous waste streams (i.e., volatile organic compounds and other greenhouse gases) generated from diverse sources such as refineries, oil fields, and many others.
PelleChar was established in September 2018 and is owned i 51% by SEER. Pellechar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, Pellechar commenced sales in late 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, Pellechar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, PelleChar activity related to startup of operations that were interrupted by the pandemic in 2020, and a commencement to market its product. Revenue and expenses of PelleChar were not material for the six months then ended.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly owned subsidiaries, SEM, MV and REGS (through September 1, 2021, as discontinued operations), and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and PelleChar, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has non-controlling interest in joint ventures, which are reported on the equity method.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $ i 30.3 million as of June 30, 2022, and $ i 29.4 million as of December 31, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $ i 0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $ i 8.2 million as of June 30, 2022, and a working capital deficit of $ i 7.5 million as of December 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.
C:
| 7 |
Realization of a major portion of the Company’s assets as of June 30, 2022, is dependent upon continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company raised approximately $ i 0.3 million from the issuance of short-term and long-term debt, offset by payments of principal on short term notes and capital leases of $ i 47,500, for a net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $ i 0.3 million. In addition, the Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company continues to focus 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, including discontinuing REGS, a line of business with historically insufficient margins. Critical to achieving profitability will be the ability to license and or sell, permit and operate though the Company’s joint ventures and licensees the CoronaLux™ waste destruction units. The Company has limited common shares available to issue which may limit the ability to raise new capital or settle debt through issuance of shares. The Company has increased business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing which may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.
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 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 in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2022, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
i
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.
i
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported consolidated net loss.
C:
| 8 |
i
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under FASB guidelines, which requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. (See Note 3)
i
Sequencing
On December 31, 2021, the Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 whereby in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company’s employees or directors are not subject to the sequencing policy.
i
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, contract labor and other costs associated with ongoing product development and enhancement efforts. R&D expenses were $ i i 0 / for both the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
/ i
Inventories
i
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in, first out basis and includes the following amounts:
| December 31, 2021 | ||||||||
| (unaudited) | * | |||||||
| Finished goods | $ | i 129,600 | $ | i 98,200 | ||||
| Work in process | i 14,100 | i 28,400 | ||||||
| Raw materials | i 6,500 | i 75,100 | ||||||
| Inventory, net | $ | i 150,200 | $ | i 201,700 | ||||
/ i
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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 the Company recognized i i no / adjustments for uncertain tax positions.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. i i No / interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized as of June 30, 2022, and 2021. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
The Company has filed federal and state tax returns through December 31, 2020. The tax periods for the years ending December 31, 2018, through 2021 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

Products Revenue
Product revenue generated from contracts with customers, for the manufacture of products for the removal and treatment of hazardous vapor and gasses. 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, the Company 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. Under the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company found no change in the manner product revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses are identified and included as additional loss. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are shown separately as liabilities on the balance sheet, if significant, except in circumstances in which related costs are accumulated on the balance sheet, in which case the provisions are deducted from the accumulated costs. A provision as a liability is reported as a current liability.
The Company includes in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to 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. Revenue contract liabilities represent the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date and are recognized as a current liability.
Products revenue also includes media sales which are recognized as the product is shipped to the customer for use.
Solid Waste Revenue
The Company’s revenues from waste destruction licensing agreements are recognized as a single accounting unit over the term of the license. Revenue from joint venture operations of the Company’s CoronaLux™ units is recognized as the revenue is earned by the joint venture. Revenue from management services is recognized as services are performed.

The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for real estate. These leases have terms which range from i 1 to i 8 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from i 1 year to month-to-month and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. These operating leases are included in “Right of use assets” on the Company’s June 30, 2022, Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are included in “Current portion of lease liabilities” and “Lease liabilities net of current portion” on the Company’s June 30, 2022, Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $ i 225,300 and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $ i 246,100 on January 1, 2019, when the new lease standard was effective. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019, are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of June 30, 2022, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $ i 276,700 and $ i 308,900, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $ i 41,800 in operating lease costs for right-of-use assets.
Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

Basic net gain or loss per share is computed by dividing net gain or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net gain or 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive as a result of the net losses incurred for the respective period, or were dilutive, but the exercise prices were above the stock price for the entire period, deeming them not to be converted, or exercised during the period. Accordingly, basic shares equal diluted shares for all periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2022. 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. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
SEER BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“the Company” or “SEER”) was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 13, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses, under the name of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc. (“SOZG”). In January 2008, SOZG changed its name to Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc., reduced its number of outstanding shares through a reverse stock split and consummated the acquisition of both, REGS, LLC and Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC. SEER is dedicated to assembling complementary service and environmental, clean-technology businesses that provide safe, innovative, cost effective, and profitable solutions in the environmental, waste management and renewable energy industries. SEER currently operates five companies with four offices in the western and mid-western U.S. Through these operating companies, SEER provides products and services throughout the U.S. and has licensed and owned technologies with many customer installations throughout the U.S. Each of the five operating companies, which includes our majority owned entities, is discussed in more detail below.
The Company’s domestic strategy is to grow internally through SEER’s subsidiaries that have well established revenue streams and, simultaneously, establish long-term alliances with and/or acquire complementary domestic businesses in rapidly growing markets for renewable energy, waste and water treatment and industrial services. The focus of the SEER family of companies, however, is to increase margins by securing or developing proprietary patented and patent-pending technologies and then leveraging its 20 plus-year service experience to place these innovations and solutions into the growing markets of emission capture and control, renewable “green gas” capture and sale, compressed natural gas fuel generation, as well as general solid waste and medical/pharmaceutical waste destruction. Many of SEER’s current operating companies share customer bases and each provides synergistic services, technologies and products.
The Company now owns and manages three operating entities and two entities that have no significant operations to date. The Company’s REGS subsidiary was abandoned during the third fiscal quarter of 2021. References in this report to abandoned or abandonment refer to the Company’s determination not to provide financial support to, or conduct operations in or through, REGS.
Wholly owned
MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies), (“MV”): (operating since 2003) MV designs and sells patented and/or proprietary, dry scrubber solutions for management of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) in biogas, landfill gas, and petroleum processing operations. These system solutions are marketed under the product names H2SPlus™ and OdorFilter™. The markets for these products include landfill operations, agricultural and food product processors, wastewater treatment facilities, and petroleum product refiners. MV also develops and designs proprietary technologies and systems used to condition biogas for use as renewable natural gas (“RNG”), for a number of applications, such as transportation fuel and natural gas pipeline injection.

| 19 |
SEER Environmental Materials, LLC (“SEM”): (formed September 2015) is a wholly owned subsidiary established as a materials technology business with the purpose of developing advanced chemical absorbents and catalysts that enhance the capability of biogas produced from, landfill, wastewater treatment operations and agricultural digester operations.
REGS, LLC d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”): (operated from 1994 to September 2021) previously designed and manufactured environmental systems and provided general industrial cleaning services and waste management consulting to many industry sectors. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company ceased bidding on, and accepting contracts for the services division of its REGS subsidiary. The results from the subsidiary are included in discontinued operations for the years ended 2021 and 2020. No contracts have been uncompleted relating to the services division; therefore, the services division did not have any performance obligations as of December 31, 2020, nor thereafter. After the industrial cleaning services division was discontinued as of 2019, REGS continued with its manufacturing and assembly operations during 2020 and into 2021. These operations consisted primarily of building kilns and related equipment. As of September 2021, the Company wound down REGS, ceased all operations, and abandoned the entity as a subsidiary. REGS operations for the periods reported were included in discontinued operations. Assets and liabilities were stranded and written off in accordance with GAAP; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance as to the treatment of such assets or liabilities or the abandonment by third parties, including governmental authorities.
Majority owned
Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”): (formed late 2010) PWS is an operating company that has developed a patented waste destruction technology using a pyrolytic heating process combined with “non-thermal plasma” assisted oxidation. This technique involves gasification of solid waste by heating the waste in a low-oxygen environment, followed by complete oxidation at higher temperatures in the presence of plasma. The term “non-thermal plasma” refers to a low energy ionized gas that is generated by electrical discharges between two electrodes. This technology, commercially referred to as CoronaLux™, is designed and intended for the “clean” destruction of hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., hospital “red bag” waste) thereby eliminating the need for costly segregation, transportation, incineration or landfill (with their associated legacy liabilities). PWS is a 54% owned subsidiary.
PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”): (formed September 2018) owned 51% by SEER. PelleChar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, PelleChar commenced sales in 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, PelleChar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process. PelleChar activity to date relates to startup of operations, and an increasing sales effort. Revenue and expenses of PelleChar were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Joint Ventures
PWS MWS Joint Venture: In October 2014, PWS and Medical Waste Services, LLC (“MWS”) formed a contractual joint venture to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology. In 2015, MWS licensed and installed a CoronaLux™ unit at an MWS facility, and subsequently received a limited permit to operate from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the California Department of Public Health. In November 2017, PWS received final air quality permit approval from SCAQMD allowing for full operations of the CoronaLux™ unit at the MWS facility.
C:
| 20 |
Paragon Southwest Joint Venture: In December 2017, PWS and GulfWest Waste Solutions, LLC (“GWWS”) formed Paragon Southwest Medical Waste, LLC (“PSMW”) to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology. PSMW has an exclusive license to the CoronaLux™ technology in a six-state area of the Southern United States. In addition to the equity position, PWS is the operating partner for the business and intends to sell a number of additional systems to the joint venture. In 2017, PSMW purchased and installed three CoronaLux™ units at an PSMW facility.
SEER’s Financial Condition and Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring operating losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $30.3 million as of June 30, 2022, and $29.4 million as of December 31, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 we incurred a net loss of approximately $0.9 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our current liabilities exceed our current assets by approximately $8.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The primary reason for that working capital deficit increased from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2022, is due to a net loss for the first half of fiscal year 2022. The Company has limited common shares available for issue which may limit the ability to raise capital or settle debt through issuance of shares. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern for a period of at least one year after the date of the issuance of our interim unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022.
Realization of a major portion of our assets as of June 30, 2022, is dependent upon our continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. In addition, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. We continue to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies, diversifying our service customer base and market concentrations and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions, including discontinuing a line of business with insufficient margins. Critical to achieving profitability will be our ability to license and or sell, permit and operate through our joint ventures and licensees our CoronaLux™ waste destruction units. We have increased our business development focus to address opportunities identified in domestic markets attributable to increased federal and state emission control regulations and a growing demand for energy conservation and renewable energies. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing that may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital on favorable terms or at all, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021
Total revenues were $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase of approximately $0.2 million or 22% in revenues comparing the three months ended June 30, 2022, to the three months ended June 30, 2021, is attributable to the increases in revenues from our products segment revenue, which includes our environmental solutions segment, which increased from approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $0.2 million or approximately 22%. Environmental solutions segment generated more revenue as activity increased in our construction contracts, due to the recovery from the slowdown in the economy attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic the prior year period.
Operating expenses, which include cost of products, cost of solid waste, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, and salaries and related expenses, were approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $0.2 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Product costs increased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased job costs connected to our percent complete contracts, as percent complete contract activity has increased, and the increased costs for freight was material for the quarter. Salaries and related expenses were consistent at $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. General and administrative expenses were consistent at $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.

Total non-operating expense, net was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The material amount of this expense is interest expense, which was also consistent at $0.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
There is no provision for income taxes for both the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, due to our net losses for both periods and we continue to maintain full allowances covering our net deferred tax benefits as of June 30, 2022, and 2021.

The net income attributable to SEER after deducting $18,200 for the non-controlling interest was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $0.6 million, after adding back $28,300 in non-controlling interest and deducting $167,200 loss from discontinued operations, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. As noted above, an increase in operating expenses, reducing margins increased net loss by $0.2 million, which was offset by reduced loss from discontinued operations by $0.2 million due to abandonment of REGS.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021
Total revenues were $2.0 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase of approximately $0.3 million or 22% in revenues comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022, to the six months ended June 30, 2021, is attributable to the increases in revenues from our products revenue, of our environmental solutions segment, which increased from approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $0.4 million or approximately 25%. Environmental solutions segment generated more revenue as activity increased in our construction contracts, due to the recovery from the slowdown in the economy attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic the prior year period.
Operating expenses, which include cost of products, cost of solid waste, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, and salaries and related expenses, were approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $0.6 million from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Product costs increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased job costs connected to our percent complete contracts, as percent complete contract activity has increased, and the increased costs for freight was material for the first half of the fiscal year. Salaries and related expenses increased from $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The prior year period included ERTC Tax credits, reducing the amount of payroll taxes during the period. General and administrative expenses were consistent at $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
Total non-operating expense, net was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $0.1 million in gain on debt extinguishment, which resulted from the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP Loans from the US Treasury.
There is no provision for income taxes for both the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, due to our net losses for both periods and we continue to maintain full allowances covering our net deferred tax benefits as of June 30, 2022, and 2021.
Loss from continuing operations was approximately $0.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net income attributable to SEER after adding back $22,200 for the non-controlling interest was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, after adding back $41,100 in non-controlling interest and deducting $133,700 loss from discontinued operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss was consistent, $0.9 million for both six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.

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 $19,800 and $0 has been reserved as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable. Our customers operate primarily in the 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 June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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
The Company evaluates 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 impairments were determined as of June 30, 2022.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under FASB guidelines, which requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the person performing the similar function as Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
We carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and Acting CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and on those criteria, our CEO and Acting CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022. The principal basis for this conclusion is (i) failure to engage sufficient resources regarding our accounting and reporting obligations during our startup and (ii) failure to fully document our internal control policies and procedures.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this quarterly report.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and Acting CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
