NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets were comprised of the following at:

 

   December 31, 2025   December 31, 2024 
Goodwill  $747,976   $747,976 
LWL Intangibles   -    1,468,709 
License   354,322    354,322 
Patents   190,789    190,789 
Accumulated Amortization-Patents   (119,755)   (107,879)
Net Intangible Assets  $1,173,332   $2,653,917 

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company reports intangible assets totaling $1,173,332, compared to $2,653,917 as of December 31, 2024.

 

As of both December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, goodwill amounted to $747,976 and $747,976. The Company classifies goodwill as having an indefinite life, and as such, it is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The useful life of goodwill is considered indefinite due to the continued potential to generate economic benefits from the business acquired. The Company conducts impairment testing based on projected future cash flows of the acquired business and other relevant factors.

 

The LWL Investment, previously classified as an indefinite-lived asset, had a carrying value of $1,468,709 as of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment and determined that the investment was impaired. Accordingly, the carrying value of the investment was written down to zero as of December 31, 2025.

 

As a result of this impairment, no value is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

 

The License balance remained unchanged at $354,322 and $354,322 for both 2025 and 2024. The License is considered to have a finite life, and as such, it is subject to amortization over its estimated useful life. The Company estimates the useful life of the License based on the legal term and any other relevant factors, such as the expected technological obsolescence or the duration of the agreement. The amortization of this asset is reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

The Patents balance, after amortization, was $71,034 as of December 31, 2025, and $82,910 as of December 31, 2024. Patents are classified as having a finite life and are amortized over their expected useful life, typically based on the legal protection period, which is generally 20 years from the filing date, or the expected period of the patent’s utility. The Company evaluates the carrying value of patents regularly to ensure that their estimated useful life and amortization period remain appropriate. Amortization expense for the period pertains to the systematic allocation of the cost of patents over their estimated useful lives.

 

Our Amortization Expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $11,876 and $8,907 respectively.

 

Based on the foregoing analysis of the facts surrounding the Company’s acquisition of LWL, it is the Company’s position that the Company is the acquirer of LWL, under the acquisition method of accounting.

 

As such, as of November 8, 2021 (the acquisition date), the Company recognized, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Business combination.

 

The following table presents the purchase price allocation:

 

Consideration:    
Cash and cash equivalents  $1,500,000 
      
Total purchaser consideration – cash paid  $1,500,000 
      
Assets acquired:     
Cash and cash equivalents  $6,156 
Prepayment  13,496 
Other receivable  20,000 
Trading Contracts  146,035 
Shenzhen Gas Relationship  1,314,313 
Total assets acquired  1,500,000 
      
Liabilities assumed:     
Advance Receipts  (8,539)
Taxes Payable  179 
Net Assets Acquired:  $1,491,640 

 

If LWL had reached USD 5 million in revenue or net profit of USD 1 million by December 31, 2023, then based on the performance contingency there will be issuance of 500,000 shares of CETY to the Seller. The performance contingencies were not met. Since the performance metrics were clearly defined and objectively not met, the contingency is considered extinguished and no accrual is warranted. This asset has been written off.
