PART I

Overview

We are engaged in the research and development of proprietary gas-to-liquids (“GTL”) synthesis gas (“Syngas”) conversion systems and micro-plants that can be scaled to meet specific gas field production requirements. Our patented and proprietary technologies have been realized in our first commercial G-Reformer^TM unit (“G-Reformer”), a unique component used to convert natural gas into Syngas, which when combined with a Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) reactor and catalyst, produces fuels including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and methanol. G-Reformer units can be deployed to process a variety of natural gas streams including pipeline gas, associated gas, flared gas, vented gas, coal-bed methane and/or biomass gas. When derived from any of these natural gas sources, the liquid fuels created are incrementally cleaner than conventionally produced oil-based fuels. Our Company’s objective is to become a material direct and licensed producer of renewable GTL synthesized diesel and jet fuels, with a near -term focus on U.S. market opportunities. For more information about our Company, please visit our website located at https://gwtechinc.com/.

Our GTL Technology

In August 2012, we acquired 100% of GIE, pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, by and between us and GIE, dated August 29, 2012, and filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Form 10-K, and incorporated by reference herein (the “GIE Acquisition Agreement”). GIE owns patents and trade secrets for a proprietary technology to convert natural gas into Syngas. Based on a new, breakthrough process called Fractional Thermal Oxidation™ (“FTO”), we believe that the G-Reformer, combined with conventional FT processes, offers an economical and scalable method to converting natural gas to liquid fuel. On February 15, 2013, GIE filed for its first patent on this GTL technology, resulting in the issue of U.S. Patent 8,574,501 B1 on November 5, 2013. On November 4, 2013, GIE filed for a second patent covering other unique aspects of the design and was issued U.S. Patent 8,795,597 B2 on August 5, 2014. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and processes relating to our proprietary GTL methods, complementing our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.

On June 26, 2017, we and the University of Texas at Arlington (“UTA”) announced that we had successfully demonstrated our GTL technology at our sponsored Conrad Greer Laboratory at UTA, proving the viability of the science behind the technology.

On March 6, 2018, we announced the completion of our first commercial scale G-Reformer, a critical component in what we call the Greer-Wright GTL system. The G-Reformer is the critical component of the Company’s innovative GTL system. A team consisting of individuals from our Company, UTA and our Company’s contracted G-Reformer manufacturer worked together to test and calibrate the newly built G-Reformer unit. The testing substantiated the units’ Syngas generation capability and demonstrated additional proficiencies within certain proprietary prior prescribed testing metrics.

On July 23, 2019, we announced that Mabert LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Mabert”), controlled by Kevin Jones, one of our directors, acquired INFRA Technology Group’s U.S. GTL plant and technology located in Wharton, Texas (the “Wharton Plant”). Mabert purchased the entire 5.2-acre site, plant and equipment, including INFRA’s proprietary FT reactor system and operating license agreement.

On August 29, 2019, to further facilitate the commercialization process, we announced that it entered into the joint venture, OPM Green Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“OPMGE”), for an ownership interest in the Wharton Plant. The other members of OPMGE are Mabert and Tom Phillips, Vice President of Operations for GIE. Our involvement in OPMGE is intended to facilitate third-party certification of our G-Reformer and related equipment and technology. In addition, we anticipate that OPMGE’s operations will demonstrate that the G-Reformer is a commercially viable technology for producing Syngas and marketable fuel products. As the first operating GTL plant to use our proprietary reforming technology and equipment, the Wharton Plant is initially expected to yield a minimum of 75 - 100 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel fuels from converted natural gas.

On April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.

On December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.

On December 15, 2020, the Company announced additional information regarding valuable outputs produced by the company’s proprietary G-Reformer^™ catalyst reactor and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology which combine to form the “Greer-Wright” GTL solution. Originally developed to convert natural gas into ultra-clean synthetic fuel, recent research and development activity has shown that the technology can also allow the extraction of high-value chemicals and alcohols. The chemical outputs include n-Hexane, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecane, and n-Tridecane. Alcohols produced include ethanol and methanol. The company has identified worldwide industrial demand for these outputs which will significantly improve the economic return on investment (ROI) of GTL plants that are based on GWTI’s technology. GWTI is a development-stage company with plans to commercialize its unique and patented technology.

Ultimately, we believe that our proprietary G-Reformer is a major innovation in gas reforming and GTL technology in general. Initial tests have demonstrated that our Company’s solution appears to be superior to legacy technologies, which are more costly, have a larger footprint, and cannot be easily deployed at field sites to process associated gas, stranded gas, coal-bed methane, vented gas, or flared gas. In addition, the Wharton Plant is anticipated to prove out the economics for the Company’s technology and GTL processes.

The technology for the G-Reformer is unique, because it permits for transportable (mobile) GTL plants with much smaller footprints, compared to legacy large-scale technologies. Thus, we believe that our technologies and processes will allow for multiple small-scale GTL plants to be built with substantially lower up-front and ongoing costs, resulting in more profitable results for oil and gas operators.

GTL Industry –Market

GTL converts natural gas – the cleanest-burning fossil fuel – into high-quality liquid products that would otherwise be made from crude oil. These products include transport fuels, motor oils, and the ingredients for everyday necessities like plastics, detergents, and cosmetics. GTL products are colorless, odorless, and contain almost none of the impurities, (e.g., sulphur, aromatics, and nitrogen) that are found in crude oil.

Our Company has developed a revolutionary and unique process that converts natural gas of various origins and compositions into a highly pure variety of chemicals, high cetane diesel fuel, industrial grade pure water and electrical energy. GTL technology has existed as a traditional process going back generations. This process consists of two steps. First, natural gas is converted into Synthesis Gas (Syngas) which is a non-naturally occurring blend of Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide. The front-end part of the GTL process is called “Gas Reformation”. The output of the Gas Reformer is compressed and fed through a secondary process, called Fischer-Tropsch (FT). This secondary process is widely used in many forms in the chemical and oil industries. While FT is a common process, Gas Reformation has been the most difficult step beyond an old and traditional process typically used in refineries. The invention of our software-controlled GTL process fronted by our patented and revolutionary gas reformation unit, the G-Reformer®, makes us the innovator in GTL technology. Our patents are based on scalability, transportability, flexibility and self-sustainment based on a wide variety of input gasses and output mixtures.

The Company’s process is made of small sized modularly scalable units which are portable and self-contained unlike other GTL solutions based on Steam Methane reformation. While many companies have tried to scale Steam Methane Reformation down for use in smaller, non-refinery based GTL plants, they have been largely unsuccessful. As a result, we can build self-sufficient GTL plants at virtually any location capable of supplying wellhead or pipeline gas of sufficient ongoing volume. This gives us the ability to eliminate flaring at the source while keeping remote oil fields in production without flaring. The conversion of flaring gas to liquid allows trucks to easily move liquid chemicals, clean diesel fuel, highly clean water and the power grid to move electricity from virtually any location.

Our initial ROI studies of the market for high purity chemicals we produce can provide incredibly rapid payback of investments. It should be noted the vast majority of these chemicals produced are made in China. Further, because they originate from a barrel of oil at a refinery, they are much lower in purity.

Products created by the GTL process include High Cetane Diesel, Naphtha, Technical Grade Water, and high value, high purity chemicals. The chemicals produced in the GWTI GTL plant are vital to many industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, fragrances, adhesives, and others. The vast majority of these chemicals are produced in China. Such dependency makes America captive to shortfalls whether they are manufacturing related or intentional. By making these chemicals in the USA, we reduce that dependency and keep the product, the jobs, and the profits in America.

According to publicly available industry research from Shell Oil, MarketResearchFuture.com, among others, the market for GTL products is said to have accounted for approximately $11.9 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $20.4 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 7.55% over that period.

Development of stringent environmental regulations by numerous governments to control pollution and promote cleaner fuel sources is expected to complement industry growth. For example, we believe that U.S. guidelines such as the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act, 2006, Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act of 1948, and Oil Industry (Development) Act, 1974 are likely to continue to encourage GTL applications in diverse end-use industries to conserve natural gas and other resources. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA sets limits on certain air pollutants, including setting limits on how much can be in the air anywhere in the United States. The Clean Air Act also gives EPA the authority to limit emissions of air pollutants coming from sources like chemical plants, refineries, utilities, and steel mills. Individual states or tribes may have stronger air pollution laws, but they may not have weaker pollution limits than those set by EPA. Because our G-Reformer based GTL plants are not considered refineries, they do not fall under any related current EPA air quality guidelines. More information can be found under the EPA’s New Source Performance Standards which are published under 40 CFR 60.

Competition

Key industry players include: Chevron Corporation; KBR Inc, PetroSA, Qatar Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell; and Sasol Limited. In terms of global production and consumption, Shell had the largest market share in 2019, with virtually all current production located overseas. Our technology is not designed to compete with the large refinery-size GTL plants operated by such large industry operators. Our plants are designed to be scaled to meet individual gas field production requirements on a distributed and mobile basis. According to a report released in July 2019 by the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (“GGFRP”), there are currently only 5 small-scale GTL plant technologies that have been proven and are now available for flared gas monetization available in the U.S., including: Greyrock (“Flare to Fuels”); Advantage Midstream (licensing Greyrock technology); EFT (“Flare Buster”); Primus GE and GasTechno (“Methanol in a Box”). We were not a direct part of this study, as we had not received 3rd party certification of our proprietary technology as of the date of this report.

However, the GGFRP report mentioned us as follows, “Greenway Technologies announced on July 23 that Mabert LLC, a major investor in Greenway, acquired the whole INFRA plant including an operating license agreement. The purpose of the acquisition is the incorporation and commercial demonstration of Greenway’s ‘G-Reformer’ technology. We will see whether the new team will be able to make the plant with the new reformer operational. (Globe Newswire, Fort Worth, Texas, Aug 31, 2019).”

Mining Interests

In December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) land in Mohave County, Arizona (such property, the “Arizona Property”), in an Assignment Agreement dated December 27, 2010, and filed as Exhibit 10.31 to this Form 10-K, between Melek Mining, Inc., 4HM Partners, Inc. and the Company, in exchange for 5,066,000 shares of our common stock. Early indications from samples taken and processed by Melek Mining provided reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the Arizona Property could be significant, but only actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value that may be realized from this property holding. While we are not currently conducting mining operations, we are exploring strategic options to partner or sell our interest in the Arizona Property, while we focus on our emerging GTL technology sales and marketing efforts.

Company History

We were originally incorporated as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation (“Dynalyst”) under the laws of the State of Texas on March 13, 2002. In connection with the merger with Universal Media Corporation (“UMC”), a Nevada corporation, on August 17, 2009, we changed our name to UMC. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and UMC was the acquiring company on the basis that UMC’s senior management became the entire senior management of the merged entity and there was a change of control of Dynalyst. The transaction was accounted for as recapitalization of Dynalyst’s capital structure. In connection with the merger, Dynalyst issued 57,500,000 restricted equity securities to the shareholders of UMC in exchange for 100% of UMC.

On March 23, 2011, Universal Media Corporation approved and filed with the Texas Secretary of State an amendment to our Certificate to change our name to UMED Holdings, Inc.

On June 22, 2017, in recognition of our primary operational activity, we approved an amendment to our Certificate to change our name to “Greenway Technologies Inc.” We filed a certificate of amendment with the Texas Secretary of State to affect that name change on June 23, 2017.

On June 26, 2019, we held our annual shareholders meeting in Arlington, Texas. There were seven proposals presented for vote by our shareholders (the “Shareholders”), including to approve the Company’s slate of directors, to amend our Certificate, to amend our bylaws, and to ratify our then current independent public accounting audit firm. We disclosed the results of the vote of the Shareholders on our Current Report Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 2, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference. On August 1, 2019, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, noting that due to a potential tabulation error, we were reviewing the results for Proposal 2, which was to amend our Company’s Certificate to increase the authorized shares of capital stock of the Company and Proposal 3, which was to amend the Company’s Certificate to permit the vote of the holders of the majority of shares entitled to vote on and represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Shareholders at which a quorum is present, to be the action of the Shareholders, including for “fundamental actions,” as such term is defined by the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) . To resolve any such potential errors, we called a special meeting of the Shareholders to be held December 11, 2019, in Arlington, Texas.

On December 11, 2019, we held a special meeting of the Shareholders to approve four proposals. In connection with these four proposals, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to our Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 16, 2019, and incorporated herein by reference. All four proposals passed overwhelmingly. For more information regarding these proposals, please see our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on November 19, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference.

Employees

As of the filing date of this Form 10-K, we have five (3) full-time employees. Certain of these employees receive no compensation or compensation is deferred on a periodic basis by mutual agreement. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements to this Form 10-K (our “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $33,021,801. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $2,541,972 and used $686,032 in net cash for operating activities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. While the Company is attempting to commence revenue generating operations and thereby generate sustainable revenues, the Company’s current cash position is not sufficient to support its ongoing daily operations and requires the Company to raise addition capital through debt and/or equity sources.

Accordingly, our ability to continue as a going concern is therefore in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of public or private offerings, or both. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to implement our business plan to generate revenues will provide us the opportunity to continue as a going concern.

While we are attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, our cash position may not be enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While management believes in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues.

Risks Related to our Business and Operations

We may not be able to raise the additional capital necessary to execute our business strategy, which includes the production, sale and/or licensing of our proprietary GTL technology solutions to oil and gas operators in the United States and elsewhere.

Our ability to successfully execute the production, sale, or licensing of our GTL technology may depend on our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital. Our ability to raise additional capital is uncertain and dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, regulatory factors, reduced retail sales, increased taxation, reductions in consumer confidence, changes in levels of consumer spending, changes in preferences in how consumers pay for goods and services, weak housing markets and availability or lack of availability of credit. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, or if the terms thereof are too costly, we may be unable to successfully execute our business strategy.

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

We are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. We have yet to develop sufficient experience regarding actual revenues to be received from our GTL technology. You must consider the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and evolving markets. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of limited historical data and the uncertainties resulting from a relatively limited period in which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories.

We have historically incurred losses.

We are considered a pre-revenue or development stage company. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Due to the inherent risk of commercializing new technology, there can be no assurance that we will earn net income in the future. We will require additional capital in order to fund our operations, which it may not be able to source on acceptable terms.

Establishing revenues and achieving profitability will depend on our ability to fully develop, certify and commercialize our GTL Technology, including successfully marketing our GTL Technology to our customers and complying with possible regulations.

Much of our ability to establish revenues, achieve profitability and create positive cash flows from operations will depend on the completion of third-party engineering certification and subsequent successful introduction of our proprietary GTL technology. Our prospective customers will not use our GTL technology unless they determine that the economic benefits provided by our GTL solution is greater than those available from competing technologies and providers. Even if the advantages derived from our proprietary GTL technology are well-established, prospective customers may elect not to use our GTL technology.

In addition, as this is a new technology and GTL processing method, we may be required to undertake time-consuming and costly additional development activities and seek regulatory clearance or approval for such new GTL technology. Such costs are not known by us as of the date of this report.

Lastly, the completion of the development and commercialization of our GTL technology remains subject to all the risks associated with the commercialization of any new GTL processing system with production based on innovative technologies, including unanticipated technical or other problems, manufacturing difficulties, and the possible insufficiency of the funds allocated for the completion of such development.

We may encounter substantial competition in our industry and a failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.

We expect that we will be required to continue to invest in product development and efficiency improvements to compete effectively in our markets. Our competitors could potentially develop a similar or more efficient GTL product or undertake more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns than ours, which may adversely affect our sales and marketing strategies and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Important factors affecting our ability to compete successfully include:

If substantial competitors enter our targeted markets, such as licensing of smaller independent oil and gas operators or the creation of blendstock for existing large refinery operations, we may be unable to compete successfully against such competition. Our potential competitors may have greater human and financial resources than we do at any given time, and there is significant competition for experienced personnel and financial capital in the oil and gas industry. Therefore, it can be difficult for smaller companies such as ours to attract the personnel and related investment for our various business activities needed to succeed. We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to successfully compete for such personnel and capital funds. Without adequate financial resources, our management cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully in our operations.

Although the longevity of patents in the United States are limited in duration to 21 years, this should not affect the Company’s long-term ability to successfully monetize the intellectual property it owns.

As of December 31, 2020, we own United States Patents Nos. 8,574,501 B1, originally issued November 5, 2013 and 8,795,597 B2, issued August 5, 2014, covering our GTL conversion technology for the purpose of converting natural gas to clean synthetic fuels in a small-plant and mobile application. On April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.

In February 2021, the Company was issued Patent 10,907,104, the fourth patent relating to the company’s proprietary G-Reformer™ technology which allows for the conversion of natural gas into synthesis gas. The newly issued patent extends the methods and details of generating syngas using the apparatus described in a previously issued patent No. 10,633,594, the company’s third patent. As described in the patent, methane, oxygen, and steam are continuously injected into the combustion section of the apparatus to generate carbon monoxide along with unreacted methane and steam. The carbon monoxide, unreacted methane, and steam then enter the catalyst chamber where these components react to generate syngas. The pressure inside the reaction vessel is controlled at no higher than 5 psig.

The term of each patent under U.S. law is 21 years. Accordingly, each of these patents will expire in the years 2034, 2035 and 2041 respectively, unless they are modified with “improvements to the current art” by us, in which case their useful lives may be extended. There is no certainty that we will be able to make such improvements to our currently held patents, and they therefore may expire at their respective terms. Alternatively, a patent’s term may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed (litigated) over a commonly owned patent or a patent naming a common inventor has an earlier expiration date. There is no certainty that we will be able to successfully defend our patents if such claims are made, and they may expire prior to their respective terms.

We are currently dependent on one equipment fabricator, the loss of which could adversely impact our operations.

We contract our manufacturing production with a heavy equipment fabricator in Texas that has worked with us for several years and specializes in the type of base refractory equipment we use in our proprietary G-Reformer based GTL processes. Accordingly, they have developed certain manufacturing expertise specifically related to our equipment which may be hard to replicate with a new manufacturer if they go out-of-business or end manufacturing for us for any reason. While there are similar manufacturers elsewhere in the United States and overseas, they will take an unknown additional amount of time to gain the expertise necessary to produce our proprietary refractory equipment, or may not be able to gain such expertise at all, limiting our production and related revenue capability.

We are dependent on a limited number of key executives, consultants, the loss of any of which could negatively impact our business.

Our business is led by President, Kent Harer, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ransom Jones, both of whom are also members of our board of directors (our “Board of Directors”). We use outside consultants to support and perform the majority of the engineering and production work on our GTL technology. We have also contracted with consultants to provide financial reporting and governance support.

If one or more of these senior executives, officers, or consultants are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted, along with our financial condition, such that our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if the competition for senior management and senior officers in our industry is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives, key personnel, or consultants or attract and retain high-quality personnel in the future. Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition, and the loss of one or more of these key personnel could negatively impact our business and operations.

If our research and development agreements with UTA are terminated, we may lose access to certain of the scientists that were instrumental in developing our technology.

In order to safe guard against this possibility, on December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.

To support our engineering efforts, we also continued our ongoing confidential Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with UTA which began in October 2009 and has continued in various forms through today, adding confidential Scope of Work addendums over this period to develop and enhance our patented GTL system with the goal of developing commercial GTL plants to convert natural gas into liquid fuels. We use UTA as an external research and development arm for the Company. If we or UTA were to terminate our relationship for some extenuating circumstances, we might lose access to the scientists most familiar with our unique technology. There is no assurance that we would be able to continue to improve on the technology we have developed thus far, potentially slowing down our future commercialization and financing efforts.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate substantially and if we fail to meet the expectations of our investors or analysts, our stock price could decline substantially.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, and if we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline. Some of the important factors that could cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:

We may have difficulty in attracting and retaining outside independent directors to our Board of Directors as a result of their concerns relating to potentially increased personal exposure to lawsuits and shareholder claims by virtue of holding those positions.

The directors and management of companies are increasingly concerned with the extent of their personal exposure to lawsuits and shareholder claims, as well as governmental and creditor claims that may be made against them, particularly in view of recent changes in securities laws imposing additional duties, obligations, and liabilities on management and directors. Due to these perceived risks, directors and management are also becoming increasingly concerned with the availability of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to timely pay the costs incurred in defending such claims. We currently carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, but directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has recently become much more expensive and difficult to obtain. If we are unable to continue or provide liability insurance at affordable rates or at all, it may become increasingly more difficult to attract and retain qualified outside directors to serve on our board of directors.

We may lose potential independent board members and management candidates to other companies that have greater directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to insure them from liability or to companies that have revenues or have received greater funding to date which can offer more lucrative compensation packages. The fees of directors are also rising in response to their increased duties, obligations and liabilities as well as increased exposure to such risks. As a company with limited operating history and resources, we will have a more difficult time attracting and retaining management and outside independent directors than a more established company due to these enhanced duties, obligations and liabilities.

Our future success relies upon our proprietary GTL Technology. We may not have the resources to enforce our proprietary rights through litigation or otherwise. The loss of exclusive right to our GTL Technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We believe that our GTL technology does not infringe upon the valid intellectual property rights of others. Even so, third parties may still assert infringement claims against us. If infringement claims are brought against us, we may not have the financial resources to defend against such claims or prevent an adverse judgment against us. In the event of an unfavorable ruling on any such claim, a license or similar agreement to utilize the intellectual property rights related to the GTL technology in question, which we rely on in the conduct of our business, may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if terms are offered at all.

Our ability to obtain field-related operating hazards insurance may be constrained by our limited operational history.

The oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally-pressured formations, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, natural gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases. If any of these events should occur at our joint venture plant location, or at any future customer sites (none exist today), we could incur legal defense costs and could suffer substantial losses due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties, and suspension of operations. Such inability to defend ourselves or suffer catastrophic financial losses could cause us to cease operations and/or declare bankruptcy.

Our JV partner, OPMGE carries General Liability and Premises insurance. In the event we should have operations on future customer sites, we plan to carry comprehensive general liability insurance will further provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage to employees in all states in which we will operate. While these policies are customary in the industry, they do not provide complete coverage against all operating risks, and as a small operator, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage. In addition, our insurance may not cover penalties or fines that may be assessed by a governmental authority. A loss not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, causing us to cease business operations. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover every claim made against us or may not be commercially available for purchase in the future.

Our GTL Technology is subject to the changing of applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Our business is particularly subject to federal and state laws and regulations with respect to the oil and gas and mining industries. Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate, navigate and respond to any changes that might occur. Due to our currently limited financial resources, we might not be able to respond to unanticipated changes, should they occur and impact our operations, and therefore have to cease operations.

Acts of terrorism, responses to acts of terrorism and acts of war may impact our business and our ability to raise capital.

Future acts of war or terrorism, national or international responses to such acts, and measures taken to prevent such acts may harm our ability to raise capital or our ability to operate, especially to the extent we depend upon activities conducted in foreign countries. In addition, the threat of future terrorist acts or acts of war may have effects on the general economy or on our business that are difficult to predict. We are not insured against damage or interruption of our business caused by terrorist acts or acts of war, and thus, our financial operations may be materially impacted by such events.

The massive and currently unknown short- and long-term economic impacts of COVID-19 may impact our business and ability to raise capital.

COVID-19 and its current extraordinary impact on the world economy has reduced oil consumption globally, decreasing crude oil prices, to levels not seen since the early 1980’s. The economics of GTL conversion rely in part on the arbitrage between oil and natural gas prices, with economic models for many producers, including our own models, using a range of $30-60/bbl (for WTI or Brent Crude as listed daily on the Nymex and ICE commodities exchanges) to determine relative profitability of their GTL operations. While to date the Company has not been required to stop operating, management is evaluating its use of its office space, virtual meetings and the like. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact our operations, the operations of OPMGE and/or ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.

We may fail to establish and maintain strategic relationships.

We believe that establishing strategic industry partnerships and natural gas producer customer relationships will greatly benefit the growth of our business and the deployment of our GTL technology. To further such relationships, we have and will continue to seek out and enter into strategic alliances, joint ventures, and similar production relationships, including similar to those announced during the 2019 with INFRA Technologies, OPMGE and the ongoing relationship with UTA. We continue to seek out and have discussions with potential gas producer on both a customer and financing basis. However, we may not be able to maintain our current or enter into new strategic partnerships on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and may not be able to create financial or customer relationships with natural gas producers. Even if we enter new natural gas producer relationships, such financial partners and/or customers may not have sufficient production of location based natural gas to provide profitable revenues or otherwise prove advantageous to our business. Our inability to enter into such new relationships or strategic alliances could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Risks Relating to Our Mining Properties

There is very limited risk, financial or otherwise, related to our mining leases and interests at this time.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail, or our operating results and our share price may be materially adversely affected.

Because we have no record of profitable operations, we need to secure adequate funding on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our GTL technology and our business will likely fail. We have limited commitments for financing. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities, which may reduce the value of our outstanding securities. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.

Selling additional shares of Common Stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our Shareholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower price per share of Common Stock.

Issuance of additional Common Stock in exchange for services or to repay debt would dilute Shareholders’ proportionate ownership and voting rights and could have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

Our Board of Directors has previously and may continue to issue shares of our Common Stock to pay for debt or services rendered, without further approval by our Shareholders, based upon such factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant in its sole discretion. It is likely that that we will issue additional securities to pay for services and reduce debt in the future. Such issuances may lower the market price of our stock and decrease our ability to raise additional equity funding for working or investment capital as may be needed at a later time.

Even though our shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, an investor’s shares may not be “free-trading” and investors may be unable to sell their shares of Common Stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to the investor.

Investors should understand that their shares of our Common Stock are not “free-trading” merely because we are a publicly traded company. Shares bought from the Company or received for services rendered or in conjunction with the issuance of debt require different holding periods, thereby creating a potential lack of liquidity and inability to sell such shares timely for any investor. In order for our shares of Common Stock to become “free-trading,” the offer and sale of shares of our Common Stock must either be registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or be entitled to an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws, after being held for statutory mandated periods.

In addition, an investor has no assurance that our stock price will rise after purchase or receipt in any manner, as our stock has shown significant volatility over the life of the Company. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our Common Stock in the future: (i) actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; (ii) government regulations; (iii) announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; (iv) our capital commitments; (v) additional dilutive stock issuances, and (vi) additions or departures of key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time, including as to whether our Common Stock will sustain the current market price, or as to what effect the sale of shares of Common Stock or the availability of shares of Common Stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB marketplace, operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (the “OTCMG”), which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of Shareholders to easily sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTCQB must: (i) be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (ii) must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act; and must pay an annual fee to OTCQB, to maintain electronic price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current in our Exchange Act reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB and be forced to be traded on the Pink Sheets, which requires a more challenging stock purchase process. The OTCQB is recognized by the SEC as an established public market. This platform enables companies to provide current public information that investors use to analyze, value and trade a security. The OTC Pink Sheets is the lowest and most speculative tier of the three marketplaces for the trading of over-the-counter stocks. Companies traded on OTC Pink are not held to any particular disclosure requirements or financial standards, and due to the wide variety of companies listed on OTC Pink, including dark companies, delinquent companies and worse, they recommend only sophisticated investors with a high risk tolerance should consider it.

Pink Sheet shares generally trade thinly and infrequently making it hard to buy or sell when the investor wants to complete a transaction. In addition, trading in OTC Pink Sheet companies requires more paperwork because due the speculative nature of such stocks, the U.S. Congress prohibited broker-dealers from effecting transactions in penny stocks unless they comply with the requirements of Section 15(h) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

These SEC rules provide, among other things, that a broker-dealer must: (i) approve the customer for the specific penny stock transaction and receive from the customer a written agreement to the transaction; (ii) furnish the customer a disclosure document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks; (iii) disclose to the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock; and (iv) disclose to the customer the amount of compensation the firm and its broker will receive for the trade. In addition, after executing the sale, a broker-dealer must send to its customer monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. With the added inconvenience and cost for brokers, various large brokerage firms, including Merrill Lynch, Capital One, Fidelity, E-Trade and even the new Robinhood, among others, have simply stopped providing brokerage services for Pink Sheet stocks for new customers. Accordingly, the market for our common stock would be significantly diminished if we were forced to trade on the OTC Pink Sheets market exchange.

Volatility in the share price for our Common Stock may subject us to securities litigation.

There is a limited market for the sale of shares of our Common Stock. The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our Common Stock share prices will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. In the future, we may be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources away from our daily operations, negatively impacting our financial results.

We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our Common Stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock since our inception and we do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion. Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends may be restricted under our debt agreements.

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which requires significant interest payments. As of December 31, 2020, we had $5,558,801 of total accrued current liabilities and $3,298,272 of current debt (net of debt discounts totaling $13,153), bearing an average cash interest of 17.8% per year when current and 18% default interest when any such loans are not current. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we are in default of loans totaling $691,667, of which $525,000, is in the form of a 3-year interest-only note payable, due in July 2022. For more details on our indebtedness, please see Notes 5 and 6 of our Financial Statements.

Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:

Our ability to meet expenses and to make future principal and interest payments in respect of our debt, depends on, among other things, our future operating performance, competitive developments and financial market conditions. We are not able to control many of these factors. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to raise debt or equity capital and/or cash flow may be insufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations, which could cause us to default on these obligations. In particular, the Mabert loans maintain a UCC-1 security interest in all of the collateral of the Company, including to our G-Reformer, technology and intellectual property (our patents, patents pending and licensed patents). If Mabert exercises its rights and remedies due to defaults under our secured loan agreements, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

The market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the penny stock market, the Company’s management will strive to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities, as the occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of the price per share of our Common Stock and/or diminish stockholders ability to trade our Common Stock.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to evaluate annually the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude, on an ongoing basis, that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

While we continue to dedicate resources and management time to ensuring that we have effective controls over financial reporting, failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on the market’s perception of our business and the price of our Common Stock.

None.

Our principal office is 1521 North Cooper St., Suite 205, Arlington, Texas 76011, leased at a rate of $949 per month, plus the cost of utilities, which is generally less than $100.00 per month. We believe these facilities are adequate for at least the next 12 months. We expect that we could locate to other suitable facilities at comparable rates, should we need more or less space.

We have unpatented mining claims for the Arizona Property. An unpatented mining claim is one that is still owned by the federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extracted minerals, provided the land is open to mineral entry. A description of the Arizona Property is included in “Item 1. Business” and is incorporated herein by reference. We believe that we have satisfactory title to the Arizona Property, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in a business. We believe that the Arizona Property is adequate and suitable for the conduct of a mining business, should we decide to proceed with such operations in the future.

 On September 7, 2018, Wildcat, a company controlled by a shareholder Gleason, filed suit against the Company, alleging claims arising from a prior consulting agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. On September 27, 2018, Wildcat filed a second suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a Promissory Note between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. Through a mediated settlement, the Company’s agreed to a Rule 11 Agreement, providing the Company execute a new promissory note to replace the prior Promissory Note with new payment provisions, among other requirements, and further stipulating that the parties would enter into a form of mutually settlement agreement. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement, Wildcat (Gleason) signed the mutually agreed Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and all litigation among the parties was dismissed by the Court on February 25, 2020.

On October 19, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit by Norman Reynolds, a previously engaged counsel by the Company. The suit was filed in Harris County District Court, Houston, Texas, asserting claims for unpaid fees of $90,378. While fully reserved, Greenway vigorously disputes the total amount claimed. Greenway has asserted counterclaims based upon alleged conflicts of interest, breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (“DTPA”). Greenway is confident in its defenses and counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend its interests and prosecute its claims.

Not applicable.

PART II

Market Information

Shares of our Common Stock are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “GWTI.” The table below sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock on the OTCQB as reported by various market makers. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not reflect actual transactions.

As of March 31, 2021, we had 336,468,075 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Our shares of Common Stock are held by 510 Shareholders of record. The number of Shareholders of record was determined from the records of our transfer agent, Transfer Online, Inc. (our “Transfer Agent”), and does not include beneficial owners of our Common Stock whose shares are held in the names of various securities brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The mailing address our Transfer Agent is 512 SE Salmon Street, 2^nd Floor, Portland, Oregon 97214, and its telephone number is (503) 227-2950.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid or declared any dividends on our Common Stock, nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends or other distributions on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, on (i) our earnings, if any, (ii) our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and (iii) other facts as our Board of Directors may then deem appropriate.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued 38,619,398 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 23,746,266 for shares related to loan conversion, 2,044,017 shares of restricted common stock for costs related to Promissory Notes the Company executed in 2020 in favor of Mabert LLC; 529,711 shares issued for settlement of accrued legal expenses; 7,000,000 shares for employee stock compensation and 4,441,667 through private sales to accredited investors.

We relied upon the safe harbor found in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each investor took such investor’s shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, without a view to distribution and had access to information concerning us and our business prospects, as required by the Securities Act. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the offer and sale of our Common Stock. We sold our shares of Common Stock to only “accredited investors” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D, with whom we had a direct personal, preexisting relationship, and after we had a thorough discussion with each accredited investor. Each certificate representing shares of our Common Stock contains a restrictive legend as required by the Securities Act. Finally, we have instructed our Transfer Agent not to transfer any restricted shares of our Common Stock, unless the offer and sale of such shares of Common Stock is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under federal and state securities laws.

All of the above-described accredited investors who received shares of our Common Stock were provided with access to our filings with the SEC, including the following: information: (i) contained in our annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019; and (ii) contained in any reports or documents required to be filed by us under Sections 13(a), 14(a), 14(c), and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, since the distribution or filing of the reports specified above. In addition, such investors received a description of securities being offered for sale, and any material changes to our affairs that were not disclosed in the other documents furnished.

We are a smaller reporting company; as a result, we are not required to report selected financial data disclosures as required by Item 301 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”).

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the notes to those Financial Statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

In the below discussion, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and similar terms in this report, as well as references to “UMED” and “Greenway” all refer to Greenway Technologies, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise.

Greenway Technologies, Inc. is engaged in the research and development of proprietary gas-to-liquids syngas conversion systems and micro-plants that can be scaled to meet specific gas field production requirements. The company’s patented and proprietary technologies have been realized in its first commercial G-Reformer unit, a unique component used to convert natural gas into synthesis gas, which when combined with a Fischer-Tropsch reactor and catalyst, produces fuels including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and methanol. G-Reformer units can be deployed to process a variety of natural gas streams including pipeline gas, associated gas, flared gas, vented gas, coal-bed methane and/or biomass gas. When derived from any of these natural gas sources, the liquid fuels created are incrementally cleaner than conventionally produced oil-based fuels. Greenway’s objective is to become a material direct and licensed producer of renewable GTL synthesized diesel and jet fuels, with a near term focus on U.S. market opportunities.

The Company believes that its proprietary G-Reformer is a major innovation in gas reforming and GTL technology in general. Initial tests have demonstrated that the Company’s solution appears to be superior to legacy technologies which are more costly, have a larger footprint and cannot be easily deployed at field sites to process associated gas, stranded gas, coal-bed methane, vented gas, or flared gas - all markets the Company seeks to service.

On April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.

On December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.

On December 15, 2020, the Company announced additional information regarding valuable outputs produced by the company’s proprietary G-Reformer™ catalyst reactor and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology which combine to form the “Greer-Wright” GTL solution. Originally developed to convert natural gas into ultra-clean synthetic fuel, recent research and development activity has shown that the technology can also allow the extraction of high-value chemicals and alcohols. The chemical outputs include n-Hexane, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecane, and n-Tridecane. Alcohols produced include ethanol and methanol. The company has identified worldwide industrial demand for these outputs which will significantly improve the economic return on investment (ROI) of GTL plants that are based on GWTI’s technology. GWTI is a development-stage company with plans to continue its unique and patented technology.

Further, the Company believes its technologies and processes will allow for multiple small-scale GTL plants to be built with substantially lower up-front and ongoing costs resulting in more profitable results for O&G operators. In addition, the proprietary technology based around the G-Reformer is unique in that it also allows for transportable (mobile) GTL plants with a much smaller footprint as compared to legacy large-scale technologies. Greenway is in discussions with a number of oil and gas operators and other interested parties to license and obtain joint venture or other forms of capital funding to build its first third-party customer gas-to-liquid plant.

Mining Interest

In December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) land in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000 shares of restricted Common A stock. Early indications, from samples taken and processed, provided reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the 1,440 acres is significant, but only actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value which may be realized from this property holding. The Company is currently exploring strategic options to partner or sell its interest in this acreage, while it focuses on its emerging GTL technology sales and marketing efforts.

Going Concern

We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 14, 2021, which is included with our consolidated Financial Statements and raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of December 31, 2020, we had total liabilities in excess of assets by $8,844,210. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used net cash of $686,032 for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient new cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and/or ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations, financing, or sufficient new cash flows will occur in the future.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to finance, manufacture, and market/operate GTL units. Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of our Common Stock or borrowing. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit. We will be unable to pay our obligations in the normal course of business or service our debt in a timely manner throughout 2021 without raising additional debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will raise additional debt or equity capital.

We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives that include (i) raising new equity capital and/or (ii) issuing additional debt instruments. The process is ongoing, lengthy and has inherent costs. There can be no assurance that the exploration of these strategic alternatives will result in any specific action to alleviate our 12-month working capital needs or result in any other transaction.

While we are attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our securities. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues.

Results of Operations

For Year Ended December 31, 2020 as Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019:

We had no revenues for consolidated operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We reported consolidated net losses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $2,541,972 and $3,661,245, respectively.

The following table summarizes consolidated operating expenses and other income and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

Operating Expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, operating expenses decreased to $1,371,512, as compared to $2,429,431 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to a $490,923 decrease in salaries and a $270,621 decrease in legal expense in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Major operating expense categories consisted of the following:

Salaries. During the year ended December 31, 2020, total salaries decreased to $530,000 as compared to $1,020,923 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects certain consultants becoming employees during 2019, which resulted in non-cash stock compensation expense of $420,000 in 2019, compared to $0 2020.

Consulting Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2020, consulting expense increased to $332,961, as compared to $251,377 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in reliance on the use of consultants for the development and production of the Company’s GTL technologies during 2020.

Professional Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2020, professional fees decreased to $0, as compared to $6,292 for the year ended December 31, 2109. Professional fees decreased due to elimination of certain prior vendors.

Travel Expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, travel expenses increased to $18,487, as compared to $11,120 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in travel expenses was due to increased air travel during the first quarter of 2020.

Legal Expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, legal expenses decreased to $206,796, as compared to $477,417 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in legal fees was due primarily to additional work completed in 2019 related to the dissident Shareholder actions and settlement of various matters compared to 2020.

Research and Development Costs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, research and development costs decreased to $30,000, as compared to $441,320 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was primarily due to the completion of the final stage of the last Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University of Texas at Arlington for development of the Company’s G-Reformer unit.

Interest Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2020, interest expense increased to $769,170, including interest to related parties of $562,890, as compared to $443,760 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the increase in borrowings to fund operations and in the amortization of discounts on new convertible notes payable executed during the period.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability and Derivative Expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on the fair value of derivatives of $62,645, as compared to a loss of $64,899 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was due to the execution of the convertible notes payable in the first quarter, and the related changes under the derivative value calculations using the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree model method, as well as the conversions of the convertible notes to equity which were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Loss from Operations. Our net loss from operations decreased to $1,371,512 in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $2,429,431 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to the Company incurring $30,000 Research and Development expenses for the 2020 period, as compared to $441,320 for the same period of 2019; as well as a $490,923 decrease in salary expense for the 2020 period as compared to the same period in 2019.

Net Loss. Our consolidated net loss decreased to $2,541,972, or a negative $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings share for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $3,661,245, or a negative $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings share for the same period ended 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in Research and Development expenses, salary expenses and a non-recurring settlement expense of $765,000 during the period ended December 31, 2019. The weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock used in the earnings per share for the basic and dilutive computation was 312,854,191 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and 291,502,726 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We do not currently have sufficient working capital to fund our expected future operations. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to continue our operations without securing additional adequate funding. We had $1,628 in cash, total assets of $12,863, and total liabilities of $8,857,073 as of December 31, 2020. Total accumulated deficit at December 31, 2020, was ($33,021,801).

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet all of its financial obligations. The following table provides certain selected balance sheet comparisons between December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

We are exploring various means to increase our working capital, including completing additional private stock sales and entering new debt instruments. In January 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with PowerUp Lending Group, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“PowerUp”), that specializes in making funding commitments to small-cap public companies. PowerUp had agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 to us over a twelve (12) month period, subject to period determined stock price and trading attributes, and we borrowed $171,000 during the first quarter of 2020 under this from of Purchase Agreement. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the lenders converted the outstanding convertible notes to equity.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020, was $686,032, as compared to $1,302,528 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2020 was $25,000, as compared to $387,847 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which consisted of advances made to OPMGE for deposits on a piece of specialized commercial equipment required to convert the Wharton, TX manufacturing facility for use of our GTL technology.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $696,617 for the year ended December 31, 2020, comprised of $155,000 in sales of our Common Stock, $171,000 in proceeds from convertible notes payable, $215,609 in proceeds from Notes – Related Parties, $270,008 received from Shareholder (Director) advances, less $115,000 of payments on notes payable related to legal settlements.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,633,207 for the year ended December 31, 2019, comprised of $360,000 in sales of our Common Stock, $1,302,188 in proceeds from Notes – Related Parties, $51,019 received from Shareholder (Director) advances, less $80,000 of payments on notes payable related to legal settlements.

Our accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our general business strategy is to first develop our GTL technology to maintain our basic viability, while seeking significant development capital for full commercialization. As shown in the accompanying Financial Statements, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $33,021,801 and $30,479,829 as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.

Commitments

Capital Expenditures

The last funded Scope of Work (“SOW”) under our SRA with UTA was completed in the year ended December 2019, with payments made of $120,000 to complete the work described in the prior SOW. As we move into the testing and commercialization phase of our GTL technology, we plan to update and enter into a new SOW with UTA for periods in 2021. This is anticipated to entail a financial commitment of approximately $257,000 for a full twelve-month research cycle, which we have been told can be payable in four equal installments of $64,250. However, we shall only execute such new SOW and notice UTA to start such work when we have funds available to make such payments. As described elsewhere herein this Report, we are working to raise sufficient capital to enter such new SOW, including from private stock sales, additional debt and payment from of our receivable with OPMGE. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to enter into such new SOW.

Operational Expenditures

Employment Agreements

In August 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with Raymond Wright, for the position of president of GIE, for a term of five years with compensation of $90,000 per year. In September 2014, Mr. Wright’s employment agreement was amended to increase his annual pay to $180,000. By its terms, Mr. Wright’s employment agreement automatically renewed on August 12, 2019 and 2020, for a successive one-year periods. During the twelve-months ended December 31, 2020, we paid and/or accrued a total of $180,000 for this fiscal year under the terms of the agreement.

Mr. Olynick elected not to renew his employment agreement and resigned as President on July 19, 2019. Upon his resignation, we agreed to pay the balance of his Employment Agreement then due and owing over time. Accordingly, we accrued $110,084 for the balance of his Employment Agreement, against which we have paid $35,000, leaving a balance remaining of $75,084 for the year ending December 2020. In addition, Mr. Olynick had previously entered into a consulting agreement (the “Olynick Agreement”) to provide general advisory services with us on April 18, 2019, and which included terms for payment of billable time at $40.00 per hour, plus approved expenses. The Olynick Agreement was terminated when Mr. Olynick became President of the Company on May 10, 2018. We have accrued $24,710 in expenses related to such prior consulting agreement expenses. See Exhibit 10.42 incorporated by reference herein.

Effective April 1, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Thomas Phillips, Vice President of Operations, for a term of 12 months with compensation of $120,000 per year. Mr. Phillips reports to the President of GIE. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Phillips is entitled to a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par value $.0001 per share, with such shares having been issued in February 2020.

Mr. Turner is also entitled to certain additional stock grants based on our performance during the term of his employment and to participate in our benefit plans, when and if such plans become available. The foregoing summary of the Mr. Turner’s employment agreement is qualified in its entirety by its reference to the actual true and correct Employment Agreement by and between Ryan Turner and our Company, dated April 1, 2019, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.58 to this Form 10-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Consulting Agreements

On September 7, 2018, Wildcat, a company controlled by Shareholder Marshall Gleason, filed suit against us alleging claims arising from the Gleason Agreement, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. In a separate lawsuit, Wildcat filed suit claiming that the Company breached that certain Promissory Note dated on or about November 13, 2017, entered into between Wildcat as lender and Greenway as borrower, and as a result Wildcat initiated an action in County Court at Law No. 2 of Tarrant County, Texas, Cause No. 2018-006416-2. On March 6, 2019, we entered into a Rule 11 Agreement with Gleason settling both disputes, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.52 to this Form 10-K and incorporated by reference. Pursuant to the Rule 11 Agreement, the parties agreed to abate both cases until the earlier of a default of the performance of the Rule 11 Agreement or October 30, 2019, whichever be sooner. The Rule 11 Agreement provided that if we timely performed through October 15, 2019, the parties would file a joint motion for dismissal and present agreed orders of dismissal with prejudice for both lawsuits. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement, however Gleason refused to sign the Wildcat Settlement Agreement at the point of the Company’s having performed its obligations. The parties’ respective counsels then mutually agreed to extend the original October 30, 2019 settlement date until at least the end of the year while the parties waited for Gleason’s signature. Gleason signed the Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and all litigation was dismissed by the Court on February 25, 2020. A copy of the Dismissal is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.59. Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to our Financial Statements.

Paul Alfano, a director and greater than five percent (5%) shareholder entered into a consulting agreement with us on April 19, 2018 via Alfano Consulting Services (the “Alfano Agreement”), to provide board and senior management advice, including but not limited to corporate strategy, SEC regulatory adherence, sales and marketing strategies, document and presentation preparation and fund-raising support. Terms included payment of billable time at $40.00 per hour, plus approved expenses, retroactive to January 1, 2017. A copy is available by Exhibit 10.44 incorporated by reference herein. The Alfano Agreement was terminated when Mr. Alfano became a director on June 26, 2019. The Company has accrued Consulting Fees and Expenses of $111,858 for all prior periods through the year ending December 31, 2020. There is no payment schedule agreed to by the parties, and such accrued expenses will be paid only when the Company has sufficient liquidity to make such payment, or unless or until the parties agree to some other form of payment provision.

On October 19, 2020, the Company entered into a management consulting services agreement with Dean Goekel (the “Goekel Agreement” via “Analytical Professionals”), to manage engineering and vendor relationships, assist in defining the design and cost of certain capital equipment and to manage the direction of research, development and other related engineering activities. Mr. Goekel will also support the Company’s ongoing business operations, including assistance in commercialization and market implementation, strategic planning and other services. The agreed upon start date under the agreement is July 1, 2020 and the minimum engagement term was for six (6) months. After the initial term the agreement automatically renews for subsequent six (6) month terms unless the Company or Mr. Goekel terminates the agreement. Under the agreement, in exchange for Mr. Goekel’s services he will receive a minimum monthly fee of $10,000 per month in deferred compensation until such time that adequate funds are available for payment. As of December 31, 2020, we have accrued $60,000 in compensation expense related to this agreement. Additionally, under the agreement Mr. Goekel was issued stock warrants for 3,000,000 shares at a strike price of $0.03 per share effective July 1, 2020 and expiring on June 30, 2022. The Company recognized valued and recognized compensation expense related to these warrants of $25,137 for the year ended December 31, 2020. After meeting certain deliverables set forth in the agreement, Mr. Goekel will be issued stock warrants for 1,000,000 shares at a strike price that is an average of the stock price for the 90 days that the deliverables have been met.

Other

Pursuant to the GIE Acquisition Agreement in August 2012, we agreed to: (i) issue an additional 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock when the first portable GTL unit is built and becomes operational, and is capable of producing 2,000 barrels of diesel or jet fuel per day, and (ii) pay a 2% royalty on all gross production sales on each unit placed in production, or one percent (1%) each to the founders and previous owners of GIE. On February 6, 2018, and in connection with a settlement agreement dated April 5, 2018, by and between the Greer Family Trust and us, which is the successor in interest one of the founders and prior owners of GIE, F. Conrad Greer (“Greer”), (the “Trust”, and such settlement agreement the “Trust Settlement Agreement”), we issued 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and a convertible promissory note for $150,000 to the Trust in exchange for: (i) a termination of the Trust’s right to receive 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock in the future and 1% of the royalties owed to the Trust under the GIE Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the termination of Greer’s then current employment agreement with GIE; and (iii) the Trust’s waiver of any future claims against us for any reason.

Third-party financing

We have also received loans from external lenders. In January 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with PowerUp Lending Group, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“PowerUp”), that specializes in making funding commitments to small-cap public companies. PowerUp agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 to us over a twelve (12) month period, subject to period determined stock price and trading attributes, and we received $171,000 during the first quarter of 2020 under this from of Purchase Agreement. As of the period ending December 31, 2020, PowerUp has converted their notes payable to shares issued. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and conditions to closing. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.63 - 10.66, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. See Note 6 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable to our Financial Statements.

See Note 6 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable to our Financial Statements.

Seasonality

We do not anticipate that our business will be affected by seasonal factors.

Impact of Inflation

While we are subject to general inflationary trends, including for basic manufacturing production materials, our management believes that inflation in and of itself does not have a material effect on our operating results. However, inflation may become a factor in the future. However, the COVID-19 virus and its current extraordinary impact on the world economy has reduced oil consumption globally, decreasing crude oil prices, to levels not seen since the early 1980’s. The economics of GTL conversion rely in part on the arbitrage between oil and natural gas prices, with economic models for many producers, including our own models, using a range of $30-60/bbl (for WTI or Brent Crude as listed daily on the Nymex and ICE commodities exchanges) to determine relative profitability of their GTL operations. While the COVID-19 virus may run its human course in the near term, we believe (as many others in the U.S. government and media believe), that the economic impacts will be long lasting and for all practical matters, remain largely unknown at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the year ended December 2019, we entered into a revenue interest research and development venture with Mabert and an employee, Tom Phillips, OPMGE. We account for our participation under the Equity Method, as further defined herein below, whereby we may be subject to future gains and losses that are reasonably likely to have an effect on our reported results of operations and liquidity. We are not required to invest, participate in any of the ongoing costs, financing or capital expenditures made by OPMGE. Since inception of this arrangement, we have advanced a total of $412,885 to OPMGE, and accordingly, had accrued a receivable from OPMGE. We have evaluated this receivable and have determine that collectability is uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has fully reserved the full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020. Since this was a receivable and not an investment in OPMGE, this allowance expense was included as a reserve for equity method receivable investment in the statement of operations as of December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Financial Statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Preparing our Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” Sales will be recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

We evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

We believe that the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers in May 2014 with amendments in 2015 and 2016. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and applied the cumulative catch-up transition method. The transition adjustment to be recorded to stockholders’ deficit upon adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not, to date, generated any revenues.

Equity Method Investment

On August 29, 2019, we entered into a research and development venture, OPMGE, with Mabert and an employee, Tom Phillips. We contributed a limited license to use our proprietary and patented GTL technology and a working G-Reformer refractory unit, for no actual cost basis, in exchange for 300 membership units in OPMGE, equating to an approximately a 42.8% current interest in OPMGE, pending the expected issuance of an additional 300 membership units, equating to a net 30% ownership interest in OPMGE at that time. There was not previously and is no book or asset value attributed to the contributed technology. We evaluated our interest in OPMGE and determined that we do not control OPMGE. We account for our interest in OPMGE via the equity method of accounting. To our knowledge, at December 31, 2020, OPMGE had no material business activity as of such date. As described in “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions” to our Financial Statements herein below, we maintain a related party receivable from OPMGE related to advances made to assist in certain capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has fully reserved the full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE.

Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting Standard 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“ASC 718”) established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, we implemented ASC 718, and accordingly, we account for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. We account for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 3-months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in this Form 10-K are to U.S. dollars.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that we recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We have adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 750-10-05”). ASC 750-10-05 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, ASC 750-10-05 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Open tax years, subject to IRS examination include 2014 – 2019.

Net Loss per Share, Basic and Diluted

We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share, specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. In 2020, shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (7,000,000), shares of Common Stock convertible for debt (0) and shares of Common Stock outstanding but not yet issued (537,762) have been excluded as a Common Stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. ASC 815 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high -credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.” ASU No. 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, ASU 2014-10 adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to our current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). We adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2019.

FASB’s new lease accounting standard, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as provided by FASB in ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby we would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, will be applied to any new leases we enter into where this standard would otherwise apply. We do not have any lease agreements where such lease accounting standards would apply.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these pronouncements are expected to have a significant effect on our Financial Statements.

Subsequent Events

On August 15, 2019, the Company issued a note to Southwest Capital Funding, Ltd. The note was issued in connection with a settlement agreement relating to a guarantee by the Company of a note payable to Southwest Capital Funding, Ltd. The note is in the amount of $525,000. Under its terms, interest is payable semiannually and the principal is due on August 15, 2022. Since the note was issued, two semiannual payments of interest have been paid. The third was due on February 15, 2021. The Company has not paid that payment, which resulted in a default on the loan.

In February 2021, the Company was issued Patent 10,907,104, the fourth patent relating to the company’s proprietary G-Reformer™ technology which allows for the conversion of natural gas into synthesis gas. The newly issued patent extends the methods and details of generating syngas using the apparatus described in a previously issued patent No. 10,633,594, the company’s third patent. As described in the patent, methane, oxygen, and steam are continuously injected into the combustion section of the apparatus to generate carbon monoxide along with unreacted methane and steam. The carbon monoxide, unreacted methane, and steam then enter the catalyst chamber where these components react to generate syngas. The pressure inside the reaction vessel is controlled at no higher than 5 psig.

Through the period ended March 31, 2021, we received $142,934 in cash and payment advances from Kevin Jones, a director and greater than 5% shareholder. Such advances and any further advances received will be accrued as “Advances - related parties” in the period received.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information requested by this item.

Our Financial Statements and related notes are included as part of this Form 10-K as indexed in the appendix on page F-1, et seq.

At no time have there been any disagreements with our accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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 Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer and effected by our 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 GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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.

In the year ending December 31, 2020, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

Management’s Annual 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 Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our 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 generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2020, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

We have identified at least the following deficiencies, which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020:

We are continuing the process of remediating our control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that have been identified will not be remediated until numerous new internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and we are able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. We cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in our Financial Statements. We cannot make assurances that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Our management plans, as capital becomes available to us, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Our management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have a material effect on our financial results. However, the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors results in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures and could potentially have an impact our financial statements.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

Committees of the Board

On June 22, 2018, pursuant to the authority granted to our Board of Directors in Section 2.10 of Article Two of our bylaws, the Board of Directors created an executive committee (the “Executive Committee”). As of the date of this report, the designated directors comprising the Executive Committee include Ray Wright, Kent Harer, Paul Alfano and Ransom Jones. The Executive Committee may consider and review any and all such matters or issues it deems necessary coming before us and take such further lawful actions as it determines to be consistent with its responsibilities. Given our small size, with the exception of the Executive Committee, our entire Board of Directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, compensation and nomination deliberations.

The responsibilities of other committees now or to be adopted in the future are currently are fulfilled by our Board of Directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, two of whom are “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., which states in part, that, “that an independent director must not be an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.”

Audit Committee

Our entire Board of Directors currently performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of our Board of Directors when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. Our Board of Directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, our Board of Directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. At the present time, Ransom Jones, our Chief Financial Officer and one of our directors, is considered to be our expert in financial and accounting matters.

Nomination Committee

Due to our size and the size of our Board of Directors, we do not require a separate nominating committee at this time. When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:

Our goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. In doing so, our Board of Directors will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our Board of Directors may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as the interests of our Shareholders. In addition, our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, our Board of Directors then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of our Board of Directors are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. Our Board of Directors may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third-party search firm, if necessary. Our Board of Directors does not typically consider Shareholder nominees, because it believes that our current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our Shareholders’ best interests.

As approved by our Shareholders at a Special Shareholders meeting (“Special Shareholders Meeting”) held on December 11, 2019, we amended our Certificate of Formation (fka Articles of Incorporation) to change the voting requirements specifying that the vote required to approve certain actions before our Stockholders, including “fundamental actions,” as defined by Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) Section 21.364, and “fundamental business transactions,” as defined by TBOC Section 1.002(32). See our Form 8-K filed December 16, 2019 for more detailed information, incorporated by reference herein.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16(a)”) requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Communication with Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any of our directors by writing to them at Greenway Technologies, Inc. at 1521 N. Cooper Street, Suite 205, Arlington, TX 76011. Attention: Secretary.

Under that process, one of our officers reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the directors a summary of all such correspondence, together with copies of all such correspondence that, in the opinion of such officer, deal with functions of our Board of Directors or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us that are addressed to members of the board and request copies of such correspondence.

Conflicts of Interest

Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (our “Code of Ethics”), which applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all persons providing similar functions. Our Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

A copy of our Code of Ethics is provided in Exhibit 14.1, incorporated by reference herein. We will also provide a copy of our Code of Ethics free of charge upon request to any person submitting a written request to our Secretary.

Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation

At present, we have three executive officers, Messrs. Wright, Harer and R. Jones.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth the compensation for our named executive officers for each of the two completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

Officers Compensation Table

Stock awards during the year ended December 31, 2020 were made according to the aggregate date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, with such grants being valued as of the closing price of the Company’s stock on effective date of the agreements underlying such grants.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

There were no outstanding equity awards for three of our four named executive officers as of the end of our last completed fiscal year, December 31, 2020. Mr. Phillips was entitled to a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par value $.0001 per share, with such shares issued after the year ending December 2019 in February 2020.

Director Compensation

Currently, our directors receive no compensation for their participation on our board, board committees or other activities related to the Company. There are no plans by the directors pay retirement benefits to directors or executive officers.

Executive Compensation

Three of our named executives, Ray Wright, Ransom Jones and Tom Phillips have Employment Agreements. Kent Harer, who is a director and is currently serving as our interim President, does not have an employment agreement and receives no compensation for his management roles and responsibilities. Mr. Harer has agreed to this arrangement until a new chief executive is hired by us. Ray Wright and Ransom Jones each have employment that automatically renew each calendar year, unless a party provides notice of non-renewal before sixty (6) days before each annual period’s end. Mr. Phillips resigned effective December 15, 2020. In addition, each employment agreement provides for payment of the respective executive’s contracted remaining compensation for termination without cause. Mr. Jones was provided with 250,000 shares at the inception of his agreement, and he is due a bonus of $35,000 each year he is employed by us. Mr. Phillips received a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par value $.0001 per share, with such shares issued in February 2020. There were no changes to any of the named executives’ duties as described by their respective employment agreements.

None.

Securities Beneficial Ownership Table

The following table presents information regarding the beneficial ownership of all shares of our Common Stock as of December 31, 2020:

Beneficial Ownership Table

Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings, known to us, including any pledge by any person of our securities:

Other than as stated herein, there are no other agreements with any of our officers and directors.

After approval given during a properly called special meeting of the Board of Directors, on September 14, 2018, Mabert, which is owned and controlled by our director and Shareholder, Kevin Jones, and his late wife Christine Early, entered into a loan agreement with us (the “Loan Agreement”), for the purpose of funding working capital and general corporate expenses of up to $1,500,000 (the “Loan Amount”). With Board of Directors consent, the Loan Amount was subsequently increased to provide up to a total $5,000,000 of availability under the Loan Agreement for us. The Company’s bylaws provide no bar from transactions with Interested Directors, so long as the interested party does not vote on such transaction. Mr. Jones did not vote on this transaction.

Mr. Jones, his late wife and Mabert have loaned a total $1,751,324 to the Company and six other Shareholders have loaned the balance of $660,281, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, through the year ending December 31, 2020. These loans are secured by the assets of our Company. A financing statement and UCC-1 have been filed according to Texas statutes. Should a default under the Loan Agreement occur, there could be a foreclosure or a bankruptcy proceeding filed by Mabert on behalf of the lenders party to the Loan Agreement. A foreclosure sale or distribution through bankruptcy could only result in the creditors receiving a pro rata payment based upon the terms of the Loan Agreement. Mabert did not nor will it receive cash compensation for its efforts.

Mr. Jones, as the owner and managing member of Mabert, is also the managing and control member of OPMGE, a research and development venture in and to which the Company has a significant revenue member interest and has licensed its proprietary GTL technology and equipment. Due to Mr. Kevin Jones’ family relationship as the brother of Mr. Ransom Jones, our CFO, and his control position over Mabert and OPMGE, Mr. Jones is not considered an independent director.

Mr. Michael Wykrent, a director, made loans totaling $425,000 under the Mabert Loan Agreement to us prior to his being elected as a director of the Company. Mabert operates as an agent for various lenders, including Mr. Wykrent, and manages such loans on behalf of the various lenders under the Loan Agreement. Mr. Wykrent was elected as a non-executive director and we believe that Mr. Wykrent remains an independent director, despite having this lending relationship through Mabert, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would not interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Mr. Paul Alfano, a director, was contracted as a consultant by the Company in April 2018 prior to his being elected as a director of the Company, thereupon such consulting contract was terminated. In his consulting role, Mr. Alfano’s total fees never exceeded $120,000 for any prior period. We have accrued a total $111,858 for the fees and expenses that were remaining under his consulting agreement at the time Mr. Alfano was elected as a non-executive director. At the current time, there is no specific timetable for repayment of such accrued expenses and we believe that Mr. Alfano remains an independent director, despite having these accrued prior consulting expenses, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would not interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

One director, Kevin Jones made advances of $142,934 to us in the fourth quarter of 2020, in cash amounts and non-reimbursed payment for services. Although we expect to repay such advances during fiscal year 2021, actual repayment of such advances is subject to an indefinite timeframe due to our financial condition and circumstances, and each director recognizes that we may not be able to make such repayments on a timely basis.

Director Kevin Jones, through Mabert, acquired a non-operational GTL plant in Wharton, TX in July 2019, and contributed it form a joint venture with us in August 2019, which included a separate interest for one of our former key employees, Tom Phillips, who owns a 10% revenue interest, in OPMGE. We agreed to contribute a limited license to our proprietary technology and equipment, and also agreed to share Phillips and other Company personnel with OPMGE, in order for it to complete third party engineering certification.

Director Independence

Mr. Alfano and Mr. Wykrent serve as our two independent directors. We use the definition of “independent director” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Under this standard, an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, the following persons shall not be considered independent:

Under these standards required to an independent director, none of Mr. Harer, Mr. K. Jones, Mr. R. Jones, nor Mr. Wright qualify as independent directors.

We hope to add additional qualified independent members to our Board of Directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability and/or continuing operations.

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Assurance Dimensions (“Assurance”), our independent auditors for the audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively:

Audit fees billed were for professional services rendered for the audit of our financial statements and review of our interim financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Pre-Approval Policy for Services of Our Independent Auditors

Our Board of Directors reviews our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K filings before we file them with the SEC.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Greenway Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

December 31, 2020 and 2019

Contents

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Greenway Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenway Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2,542,000 and $686,000, respectively for the year ended of December 31, 2020 and a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $8,844,000 and $33,022,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Collectability of Note Receivable

Description of the Matter

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of OPMG Green Energy, LLC (OPMGE). The Company contributed a limited license to use its proprietary and patented GTL technology for no actual cost basis in exchange for 42.86% (300 of 700 currently owned member units) revenue interest in OPMGE, expected to be later reduced to a 30% interest upon the completion of certain expected third-party investments for the remaining 300 of 1,000 member units available. Through the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company made advances to OPMGE of $412,885. In the event of default, the Company holds a second lien against the assets of OPMGE. The amount advanced was booked as a related party receivable by the Company. Given the uncertainty of collectability of this receivable, the Company has fully reserved the amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary procedure we performed to address this critical audit matter included evaluating OPMGE’s 2020 financial statements and management’s assessment of collectability of the note. We also obtained a copy of the security agreement and a commitment letter from the lender to determine the likelihood of collectability. Based on our procedures we agreed with management that the Note Receivable should have a valuation allowance.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.
