NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Nature of Operations

 

Greenway Technologies, Inc., (“Greenway”, “GTI” or the “Company”) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., is primarily engaged in the research, development and commercialization of a proprietary Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) syngas conversion system that can be economically scaled to meet individual natural gas field/resource requirements. The Company’s proprietary and patented technology has now been realized in Greenway’s recently completed first generation commercial-scale G-ReformerTM refractory unit, a unique and critical component to the Company’s overall GTL technology solution. Greenway’s objective is to become a material direct and licensed producer of renewable GTL synthesized gasoline, diesel and jet fuels, with a near term focus on U.S. market opportunities.

 

Greenway’s GTL Technology

 

In August 2012, Greenway Technologies acquired 100% of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“GIE”) which owns patents and trade secrets for proprietary technologies to convert natural gas into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Based on a breakthrough process called Fractional Thermal Oxidation™ (“FTO”), the Company believes that its G-Reformer unit, combined with conventional and proprietary Fischer-Tropsch (“FT”) processes, offers an economical and scalable method to converting natural gas to liquid fuel.

 

To facilitate the commercialization process, Greenway announced in August 2019 that it had entered into an agreement to partially own and operate an existing GTL plant located in Wharton, Texas. Originally acquired by Mabert, a company controlled by director, Kevin Jones, members include OPMGE (a company formed to facilitate the joint venture), Mabert and Tom Phillips, an employee of the Company. The Company’s involvement in the venture is intended to facilitate third-party certification of the Company’s G-Reformer technology, related equipment and technology. In addition, the Company anticipates 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 Greenway’s proprietary reforming technology and equipment, the Wharton joint venture facility is initially expected to yield a minimum of 75 - 100 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel fuels from converted natural gas.

 

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. The new plant is anticipated to prove out the economics for the Company’s technology and GTL processes.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 10 (Rule 10-01) of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but may not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. For more complete financial information, these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Greenway and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation. 

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities:

 

Name of Entity   %    Entity    Incorporation    Relationship 
Greenway Technologies, Inc.        Corporation    Texas    Parent 
Universal Media Corporation   100%   Corporation    Wyoming    Subsidiary 
Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc.   100%   Corporation    Nevada    Subsidiary 
Logistix Technology Systems, Inc.   100%   Corporation    Texas    Subsidiary 

 

Greenway’s investments in unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method.

 

Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 March 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $31,042,578. For the three-months ended March 31, 2020, we had no revenue, generated a net loss of $562,749 and used cash of $262,572 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. Management believes that its current and future plans will enable it to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of this report.

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold, are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale or salvage value are recorded as a gain or loss on sale of equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset or asset group is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. There were no long-lived assets or impairment charges for the period ended March 31, 2020.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The FASB issued ASC 606 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 Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, its effective date. The Company has not, to date, generated any revenues.

 

8

 

 

Equity Method Investment

 

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of OPM 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 remining 300 of 1,000 member units available. The Company evaluated its interest in OPMGE and determined that the Company does not control OPMGE. The Company accounts for its interest in OPMGE via the equity method of accounting. At March 31, 2020, there was no change in the investment cost of $0. At March 31, 2020, OPMGE had no material business activity as of such date. As described in Note 9, the Company maintains a Related Party receivable with OPMGE for $412,847 related to our advancing capital for certain of OPMGE’s capital expenditures that are in the Company’s best interests. The Company expects to fully recover this receivable once OPMGE operations ramp up in 2020.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include allowance for collectible receivables, derivative liability valuations and deferred tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three-months or less to be cash equivalents. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in this Form 10-Q are to U.S. dollars. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company 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.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC 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. The ASC 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, with no corporate tax returns filed for the years ending 2016 to 2018, and, 2019 - which is not due until July 15, 2020.

 

Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted

 

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. Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants (8,000,000), shares convertible for debt (2,083,333) and shares outstanding but not yet issued (1,204,711) have been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Derivative 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. They require 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. The Company entered into two convertible notes creating derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2020. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Notes Payable herein below for a detailed discussion regarding our convertible notes payable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2008, fair value measurements are determined by the Company’s adoption of authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities, as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Valuation based on, observable inputs (other than level one prices), quoted market prices for similar assets such as at the measurement date; quoted prices in the market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

Description  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
March 31, 2020 Derivative Liabilities  $-  $-  $265,588 
December 31, 2019 Derivative Liabilities  $-  $-  $- 

 

The following assets and liabilities are measured on the balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 assumptions in their valuation. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the liabilities:

 

All gains and losses on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy are recognized in other interest income and expense in the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

The change in the notes payable derivative liabilities at fair value for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, is as follows:

NOTE 6 – OTHER NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company issued a $166,667 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 4.50% per annum to a company, Tunstall Canyon Group, LLC, payable in two installments of $86,667 on December 20, 2018 and $80,000 plus accrued interest on December 20, 2019. Per the terms of the promissory note, the holder has the right to convert the note into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.08 per share for each one dollar of cash payment which may be due (which would be 1,083,333 shares for the first $86,667 payment and 1,000,000 shares for the second $80,000 installment payment, respectively). As of December 20, 2018, a material event of default occurred for breach of payment of the then interest due, such default continuing thought the date of this report. The holder of the note has the right to convert at any time and has indicated that it might convert under settlement discussions with the principal, Richard Halden, unrelated to this convertible note. See also Note 10 – Legal Matters.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Convertible Note did not resulted in a derivative. The Company evaluated the terms of the convertible note and concluded that there was a beneficial conversion feature since the convertible note was convertible into shares of common stock at a discount to the market value of the common stock. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was valued at $27,083 based on the $0.013 difference between the market price of $0.093 and the conversion price of $0.08 times the 2,083,325 conversion shares. As a result of the event of default, the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature has been extinguished for the balance of 2018, and until the event of default is cured or the note is converted to common shares.

 

On September 26, 2019, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Southwest Capital Funding Ltd. (“Southwest”) to resolve all conflicts related to a lawsuit in Hawaii, cause no. 16-1-0342, in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit, State of Hawaii, styled Southwest Capital Funding, Ltd. v. Mamaki Tea, Inc., et. al., whereby the Company had provided loan guarantees for Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc., Hawaiian Beverages, Inc., Curtis Borman, and Lee Jenison. As part of the consideration for an agreed stipulated judgement, we agreed to provide Southwest a Promissory Note in the amount of $525,000, providing for a three-year term, at 7.7% simple interest-only payable semi-annually, with interest due calculated on a 365-day year, default interest at 18%, with the principal amount due at maturity. The first semi-annual interest payment of $15,727 was paid when due in February 2020. We accrued $4,920 through the end of March 2020 and plan to make our next semi-annual interest payment when due in August 2020. The principle balance of $525,000 and remaining accrued interest on the note is due August 15, 2022. In addition, we agreed to issue and deliver to Southwest 1,000,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted Common Stock valued at $0.05 per share, such shares issued in the 3rd quarter 2019, and fully expensed in the period ended December 2019. Provided there is no default on the Promissory Note, Southwest agreed to not sell any stock for at least one year from the date of the Settlement Agreement.

 

On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note credit facility whereby at the Company’s request, and depending on certain market factors at the time of each request, PowerUp agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 to the Company under the same and substantially similar terms for each requested Note over a twelve-month period, subject to stock price and trading attributes at the time of such request. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company entered two Convertible Promissory Notes, for total proceeds of $171,000. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and conditions to closing. Material terms of the notes (“Notes”) include the following provisions:

 

13

 

  

The unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per year;
Any amount of principal or interest due under the Notes that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per year from the date it was due until such outstanding amount is paid;
PowerUp may elect to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of the Notes into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at various market prices after an initial Company option period, from time to time, during the period that is 180 days following the issue date of the Notes;
The Company must reserve up to five times the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Notes, and instruct the Company’s transfer agent, Transfer Online, Inc., to that effect;
The Company may prepay the Notes, but must pay a prepayment percentage to PowerUp depending on the time that the Notes are prepaid;
So long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company may not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business without PowerUp’s written consent; and
Certain events qualify as events of default under the Notes including, but not limited to: (a) the Company’s breach of a material term of an individual Note or Purchase Agreement; (b) the Company’s failure to pay the amount of principal or interest due to PowerUp under the Notes by the Company, (c) the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (d) the Company’s assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with PowerUp, whereby PowerUp purchased, and the Company sold, a one year Convertible Promissory Note under the terms as described above, dated January 24, 2020, in exchange for cash of $118,000. The Note requires the Company to hold certain amounts of its common stock in reserve in the event that the Company elects not to pay the balance within the prescribed term and/or PowerUp elects to convert such Note to common stock after six months from inception, with any remaining balance due at term.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the original convertible note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Convertible Note resulted in a derivative. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was valued at $118,000 based on the difference between the fair value of the 2,017,094 convertible shares at the valuation date and the $118,000 note value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature will be amortized over the term of the debt. The derivative value related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was determined using the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree model. The derivative liability for this note at its January 24, 2020 inception (“Commitment Date”) was $130,506 and for the period ending March 31, 2020 was $183,103, calculated as shown below.

 

   March 31, 2020   Commitment Date 
Expected dividends   0%   0%
Expected annual volatility   197.1%   184.1%
Expected term: conversion feature   1 year    1 year 
Risk free interest rate   .04%   1.51%

 

On February 22, 2020, the Company executed a second Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note for an additional $53,000 cash, under substantially similar terms described above, incorporating a new issue date for a one-year term maturing on February 11, 2021. The Note requires the Company to hold certain amounts of its common stock in reserve in the event that the Company elects not to pay the balance within the prescribed term and/or PowerUp elects to convert such Note to common stock after six months from inception, with any remaining balance due at term.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the original convertible note in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Convertible Note resulted in a derivative. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was valued at $53,000 based on the difference between the fair value of the 905,983 convertible shares at the valuation date and the $53,000 note value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature will be amortized over the term of the debt. The derivative value related to the beneficial conversion feature on the note was determined using the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree model. The derivative liability for this note at its February 12, 2020 inception (“Commitment Date”) was $74,472 and for the period ending March 31, 2020 was $82,485, calculated as shown below.

 

   March 31, 2020   Commitment Date 
Expected dividends   0%   0%

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

After approval during a properly called special meeting of the board of directors, on September 14, 2018 Mabert, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company owned by a director and stockholder, Kevin Jones and his wife Christine Early, as an Agent for various private lenders including themselves, entered into a loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) for the purpose of funding working capital and general corporate expenses for the Company of up to $1,500,000, which was subsequently amended to provide up to $5,000,000. The Company bylaws provide no bar from transactions with Interested Directors, so long as the interested party does not vote on such transaction. Mr. Jones as an Interested Director did not vote on this transaction. Since the inception of the Loan Agreement through March 31, 2020, a total of $2,132,879 (excluding debt discount of $80,888) has been loaned to the Company by six shareholders, including Mr. Jones. See Note 5.

 

Through Mabert, Mr. Jones along with his wife and his company have loaned $1,527,879, and four other shareholders have loaned the balance of the Mabert Loans. These loans are secured by the assets of the 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 the Agent for these shareholders. The actions of the Company in case of default can only be determined by the shareholders. 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 compensation for its work as an agent for the lenders.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company accrued expenses for related parties of $1,457,722 to account for the total deferred compensation expenses among three current executives, one former executive and one current employee. Each of the current executives and employees have agreed to defer their compensation until such time as sufficient cash is available to make such payments, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer having the express authority to determine what constitutes cash sufficiency from time-to-time.

 

Through the period ended March 31, 2020, we received $50,000 in cash advances from two of our directors, Ransom Jones and Kent Harer and Kevin Jones, in the amounts of $25,000 each, which have been accrued as Advances - related parties for the period. An advance of $1,019 made by our director, Kevin Jones, was repaid in the period ending March 31, 2020.

 

Through the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company made advances to an affiliate, OPMGE, of $412,847, including $25,000 during the first three months of 2020. As reported on Form 8-K on August 29, 2019, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, the Company now owns a non-consolidating 42.86% interest in the OPMGE GTL plant located in Wharton, Texas. The amount advanced was booked as a related party receivable by the Company which expects to fully recover the receivable from OPMGE as it ramps up its operations in 2020.

 

Kevin Jones, a director and greater than 5% shareholder, made cash advances to the Company in the amount of $101,833 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, such advances converted to a renewable one-year Promissory Note, at 18% interest-only for the first year. See Note 5 above.

Employment Agreements

 

In August 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with our chairman of the board, Ray Wright, as president of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., for a term of five years with compensation of $90,000 per year. In September 2014, Wright’s employment agreement was amended to increase such annual pay to $180,000. By its terms, the employment agreement automatically renews each year for successive one-year periods, unless otherwise earlier terminated. During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid and/or accrued a total of $45,000 for the period under the terms of the agreement.

 

Effective May 10, 2018, the Company entered into identical employment agreements with John Olynick, as President, and Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The terms and conditions of their employment agreements were identical. John Olynick elected not to renew his employment agreement and resigned as President on July 19, 2019. Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer, earns a salary of $120,000 per year. Mr. Jones also serves as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer. During each year that Mr. Jones’ agreement is in effect, he is entitled to receive a bonus (“Bonus”) equal to at least Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) per year, such amount having been accrued for the year ended December 2019. Both Mr. Olynick and Mr. Jones received a grant of common stock (the “Stock Grant”) at the start of their employment equal to 250,000 shares each of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), such shares vesting immediately. Mr. Jones is also entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans when such plans exist.

 

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Thomas Phillips, Vice President of Operations, reporting to the President of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., for a term of twelve (12) months with compensation of $120,000 per year. 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, valued at $.06 per share, or $270,000, which we expensed as of the effective date of the agreement. Such stock-based compensation shares were issued in February 2020. Phillips is also entitled to certain additional stock grants based on the performance of the Company during the term of his employment and is entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans, if and when such become available.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Ryan Turner for a term of twelve (12) months with compensation of $80,000 per year, to manage the Company’s Business Development and Investor Relations functions. Turner reports to the President of Greenway Technologies and is entitled to a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par value $.0001 per share, valued at $.06 per share, or $150,000, which we expensed as of the effective date of the agreement. Such stock-based compensation shares were issued in February 2020. Turner is also entitled to certain additional stock grants based on the performance of the Company during the term of his employment. Turner is also entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans, if and when such become available.

 

Other

 

The August 2012 acquisition agreement with Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“GIE”) also provided for the Company to: (i) issue an additional 7,500,000 shares of restricted 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. In connection with a settlement agreement with the Greer Family Trust (‘Trust”), the successor owner of one of the two founders and prior owners of GIE on February 6, 2018, the Company exchanged Greer’s half of the 7,500,000 shares (3,750,000 shares) to be issued in the future, Greer’s half of the 2% royalty, a termination of Greer’s then current Employment Agreement and the Trust’s waiver of any future claims against the Company for any reason, for the issuance and delivery to the Trust of three million (3,000,000) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and a convertible Promissory Note for $150,000. As a result, only 3,750,000 common shares are committed to be later issued under the original 2012 acquisition agreement.

 

The Company has accrued management fees of $1,301,964 related to separation agreements and settlement expenses for two prior executives of the Company, Richard Halden and Randy Moseley, who both resigned from their respective management positions in 2016, with Halden then further resigning as a director from our Board of Directors in Feb 2017. Although we have not maintained currency with respect to the contractual payment obligations therein, both former employees are greater than five percent shareholders and had agreed to defer payments until such time as we have sufficient available liquidity to begin making payments on a regular basis. In March of this year, Halden filed suit against the Company alleging claims arising from his severance and release agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. The Company answered the lawsuit and asserted a number of affirmative defenses; subsequently, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on November 19, 2019. Other than an increase in our legal expenses related to defending against Halden’s lawsuit, and given the subsequent dismissal of the same, we expect no further material financial impacts from such accrued fees until any such regular payments are able to begin, or another form of settlement is reached.

 

Consulting Agreements

 

On November 28, 2017, the Company entered into a three-year consulting agreement with Chisos for public relations, consulting and corporate communications services. The initial payment was 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Additional payments were to be made upon the Company’s common stock reaching certain price points over an extended period. Due to a breach of the Agreement by Chisos, on June 22, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to terminate the Agreement. Based on the termination, all warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock were cancelled. Chisos sued the Company for breach of contract. The Company vigorously defended itself and the litigation was dismissed without prejudice on November 19, 2019. See this Note 10 – Legal Matters below.

 

On September 7, 2018, Wildcat Consulting, a company controlled by a shareholder, Marshall Gleason (“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 March 6, 2019, the parties entered into a Rule 11 Agreement settling both disputes. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement and the parties executed the Settlement Agreement. Gleason signed the Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and both cases were dismissed by the Court on February 25, 2020. See also Note 10 – Legal Matters.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 and noted that the leases discussed below did meet the requirements for recording a right of use asset or liability under ASC-842 given that they were short term leases.

 

In October 2015, the Company entered into a two-year lease for approximately 1,800 square feet a base rate of $2,417 per month. The Company terminated the lease effective August 31, 2018 and has no further financial obligations under the lease.

Greenway rents approximately 600 square feet of office space at 1521 North Cooper St., Suite 205, Arlington, Texas 76011, at a rate of $957 per month, including utilities, under a one-year lease agreement, renewable for successive one-year terms in the Company’s sole discretion.

 

Each September, the Company pays $11,600 in annual maintenance fees on its Arizona BLM mining leases, under one-year lease agreements, renewable for successive one-year terms in the Company’s sole discretion in addition. These leases provide for 10% royalties based on production, if any. There has been no production to date.

 

Legal Matters

 

The Company was named as a co-defendant in an action brought against the Company and Mamaki Tea, Inc., alleging, among other things, that the Company was named as a co-guarantor on an $850,000 foreclosed note, including accrued and accruing interest held by Southwest. On April 22, 2016, Greenway Technologies filed suit under Cause No. DC-16-004718, in the 193rd District Court, Dallas County, Texas against Mamaki of Hawaii, Inc. (“Mamaki”), Hawaiian Beverages, Inc.(“HBI”), Curtis Borman and Lee Jenison for breach of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2015, wherein the Company sold its shares in Mamaki to HBI for $700,000 (along with the assumption of certain debt). The Company maintained its guaranty on the original loan as a component of the sale transaction. The Defendants failed to make payments of $150,000 each on November 30, 2015, December 28, 2015 and January 27, 2016. On January 13, 2017, the parties executed a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (Agreement). However, the Defendants again defaulted in their payment obligations under this new Agreement. Curtis Borman and Lee Jennison were co-guarantors of the obligations of Mamaki and HBI. To secure their guaranties, each of Curtis Borman and Lee Jennsion posted 1,241,500 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company. Under the Agreement, the shares were valued at $.20. Due to the default under the Agreement, these shares were later returned to the Company’s treasury shares. Curtis Borman subsequently filed for bankruptcy and the property was liquidated for $600,000, applied against the prior loan amount, leaving a remaining guaranteed loan payment balance of approximately $700,000, including accrued interest and legal fees. On September 26, 2019, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Southwest, providing 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock subject to standard Rule 144 restrictions, and a three (3) year term Promissory Note for $525,000 to settle all claims (recorded in Long Term Liabilities).

 

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 agreement 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 March 13, 2019, Chisos, a company controlled by dissident shareholder Halden, filed suit against the Company, alleging claims arising from a consulting agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. The Company answered the lawsuit and asserted a number of affirmative defenses; subsequently, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on November 19, 2019.

 

On March 13, 2019, dissident shareholder Halden in his capacity as an individual, filed suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a confidential severance and release agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. The Company answered the lawsuit and asserted a number of affirmative defenses; subsequently, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on November 19, 2019.

 

On March 26, 2019, the Company filed a verified petition for Declaratory Judgement, Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order and Application for Injunctive Relief against the members of a dissident shareholders group (including Halden) named the “Greenway Shareholders Committee” in Dallas County. A Temporary Restraining Order was issued by the court enjoining the Defendants (and their officers, agents, servants, employees and attorneys) and those persons in active concert or participation from; holding the special shareholders meeting on April 4, 2019 or calling such meeting to order; attending or participating in the Special Meeting; voting the shares of Plaintiff owned by any Defendant at the Special Meeting, either directly or by granting a proxy to allow a non-defendant to vote said shares; voting any shares of Plaintiff owned by non-defendants with or by proxy at the Special Meeting; and serving as chairman at the Special Meeting. On April 8, 2019, the court issued such Temporary Injunction against the dissident shareholders who received notice. The Injunction continued until the trial date of December 10, 2019; no trial was held and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on November 26, 2019.

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.

 

NOTE 11-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread in the United States, including in each of the areas in which the Company operates. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has had a notable impact on general economic conditions, including but not limited to the temporary closures of many businesses, “shelter in place” and other governmental regulations, reduced business and consumer spending due to both job losses, reduced investing activity and M&A transactions, among many other effects attributable to the COVID-19 (coronavirus), and there continue to be many unknowns. 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 (coronavirus) outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak will impact our operations, the operations of OPMGE and/or ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.

 

On April 7, 2020, the Company issued 430,510 par value $0.0001 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at an average $0.063 per share, pursuant to a settlement reached in February 2020 to pay $27,127 of certain prior billed and outstanding legal expenses with the law firm Lehtola & Cannatti, PLLC, primarily for work performed from May 2017 through April 2019, and including a limited amount of additional work performed for the stockholders’ meeting during the summer of 2019 through January 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods ending March 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-Q 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-Q. 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.

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-ReformerTM 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-Q, 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.

 

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.

 

According to publicly available industry research from Shell Oil, MarketResearcEngine.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 $20.1billion by 2023, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11.03% over that period. Products created by the GTL process include GTL Diesel, GTL Naphtha, GTL Other (e.g., lubricants), with GTL Diesel accounting for more than 68% of the product market. Market share of these products has not changed significantly over the last four years. Increasing population across the globe have led to an increase in power consumption, creating a high demand for clean natural gas liquids products (“NGL”). In the commercial sector, there has been generally high demand for NGL products among petrochemical plants and refineries for blendstock, i.e., a blend of unfinished oils that creates a refined product, as well as in the automotive and packaging industries, among others. Due to their relatively clean burning nature, NGL products may be used as fuel in motor vehicles, in furnaces for heating and cooking and household energy source. Our planned focus is in technology licensing for our GTL plant technology, and in some cases, the direct production and sale of high cetane diesel and jet fuels, a multi-billion-dollar market segment.

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 gas flares 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.

 

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 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.

 

Employees

 

As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, we have five (5) full-time employees. Certain of these employees receive no compensation or compensation is deferred on a periodic basis by mutual written agreement. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.

 

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, 2020, and filed with our annual report on Form 10-K, which is included by reference to our Financial Statements and raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2020, we had total liabilities in excess of assets by $6,824,732 and used net cash of $262,572 for our operating activities. This is as compared to the most recent year ended December 31, 2019, when we used net cash of $1,332,528 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-Q 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 2020 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

 

Three-months ended March 31, 2020, compared to Three-months ended March 31, 2019.

 

We had no revenues for our consolidated operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. We reported consolidated net losses for each of these periods of $562,749 and $598,948, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $287,955, as compared to $326,509 for the prior year three-months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased consulting fees in the period.

 

Research and Development Expenses. During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, Research and Development expenses decreased to $0 dollars, as compared to $243,820 for the prior year three-months ended March 31, 2019. The change was primarily due to the completion of the last stage of the prior Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University of Texas at Arlington related development of the Company’s G-Reformer unit.

 

Interest Expense. During the three-months period ended March 31, 2020, interest expense increased to $181,016 as compared to interest expense of $75,399 for the prior year three-months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the increase 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 three-months ended March 31, 2020, the loss on the fair value of derivatives increased $60,610, as compared to a gain of $46,779 for the prior year three-month period in 2019. The change was due to the execution of two new convertible notes payable in the current quarter, and their related derivative value calculations using the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree model method.

 

Net Loss from Operations. Our net loss from operations decreased to $287,955 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $570,328 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in Consulting fees of $71,500 and no Research and Development expenses for the period, compared to $243,819 in Research and Development expenses for the same quarter of 2019.

 

Net Loss. Our net loss nominally decreased to $562,749 for the three-months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $598,948 for the same three-months period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in our Research and Development expense to zero, offset by the increase in Interest expense to $181,016 in the current period compared to $75,399 in the prior year quarter ended March 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. As of March 31, 20120, we had $10,285 in cash, total current assets of $448,132, and total current liabilities of $7,272,864. Our total accumulated deficit on March 31, 2019, was $(31,042,578).

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash. In the three-months ended March 31, 2020, our working capital deficit increased by $460,247 from the recent year-ended December 2019 primarily as the result of increases in Accrued expenses to related parties of $155,518, increases in Notes payable to related parties of $101,833 and an increase in other Convertible Notes Payable of $171,000.

 

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 with PowerUp, a lender that specializes in making funding commitments to small-cap public companies. PowerUp has agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 to us over a twelve (12) month period, subject to periodically determined stock price and trading attributes, under which we borrowed $171,000 in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 6 herein above for more detail on the described notes.

 

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in continuing operating activities during the three-months ended March 31, 2020 was $262,572, as compared to $260,465 for the three-months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-months period ending March 31, 2020 was $25,000, consisting of additional advances 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, resulting in the total Receivable – Related Party of $412,847 shown on our Balance Sheet for the period. There were no cash flows from investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2020.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $281,814 for the three-months ended March 31, 2020, consisting primarily of the proceeds from a new loan made by Director and shareholder, Kevin Jones, a related party under the Mabert Loan Agreement of $101,833, and two loans from PowerUp totaling $171,000, and a sale of the Company’s Common Stock to a private accredited private investor of $60,000, offset by payments on other notes payable to Wildcat of $50,000. This is compared to a cash advance of $199,528 from a related in the three-months ended March 31, 2019. See Notes 5 and 6 to our Financial Statements herein above.

 

The accompanying Financial Statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our general business strategy is to first develop our GTL technology sufficient to maintain basic financial viability, while seeking significant development capital for full commercialization. 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.

 

Seasonality

 

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

 

Commitments

 

Capital Expenditures

 

The prior 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 last 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 later in 2020 and 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 we that we will be able to raise such sufficient funds to enter into such new SOW.

Employment Agreements

 

In August 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with our chairman of the board, Ray Wright, as president of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., for a term of five years with compensation of $90,000 per year. In September 2014, Wright’s employment agreement was amended to increase such annual pay to $180,000. By its terms, the employment agreement automatically renews each year for successive one-year periods, unless otherwise earlier terminated. During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid and/or accrued a total of $45,000 for the period under the terms of the agreement.

 

Effective May 10, 2018, the Company entered into identical employment agreements with John Olynick, as President, and Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer, earns a salary of $120,000 per year. Mr. Jones also serves as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer. During each year that Mr. Jones’ agreement is in effect, he is entitled to receive a bonus (“Bonus”) equal to at least Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) per year, such amount having been accrued for the year ended December 2019. Both Mr. Olynick and Mr. Jones received a grant of common stock (the “Stock Grant”) at the start of their employment equal to 250,000 shares each of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), such shares vesting immediately. Mr. Jones is also entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans when such plans exist.

 

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Thomas Phillips, Vice President of Operations, reporting to the President of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., for a term of twelve (12) months with compensation of $120,000 per year.

Turner is also entitled to certain additional stock grants based on the performance of the Company during the term of his employment. Turner is also entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit plans, if and when such become available.

 

Consulting Agreements

 

On November 28, 2017, we entered into the Chisos Agreement with Chisos for public relations, consulting and corporate communications services. The initial payment was 1,800,000 shares of our Common Stock. Additional payments were to be made upon our Common Stock reaching certain price points over an extended period. Due to a breach of the Chisos Agreement by Chisos, on June 22, 2018, our Board of Directors voted to terminate the Chisos Agreement. Based on the termination, all warrants to purchase our Common Stock were cancelled. Chisos sued us for breach of contract. The Company vigorously defended itself and the litigation was dismissed without prejudice on November 19, 2019. A copy of the court’s dismissal is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.61. See Note 10 – Legal Matters above.

 

On September 7, 2018, Wildcat filed suit alleging claims arising from the related 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 a Promissory Note dated November 13, 2017, entered into between Wildcat as lender and Greenway as borrower. 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-Q and incorporated by reference. The Rule 11 Agreement provided that if we timely performed the provision stipulated in such agreement, 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, and Gleason signed the mutually agreed Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020. Subsequently all litigation was dismissed by the Court on February 25, 2020. A copy of the Dismissal is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.59. See Note 10 – Legal Matters herein above.

 

25

 

 

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 in June 2019. Prior to becoming a Director, Mr. Alfano had made a claim against us, providing written support using two different total payment amounts, which the Company disputed as incorrectly calculated at the time. Prior to becoming a Director, the Company and Mr. Alfano resolved such disputed amounts and we accrued Consulting Fees of $94,038 for all prior periods through the year ending December 31, 2019, with no change in the quarter ended March 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, up to and including the conversion of the accrued expenses to stock or direct forgiveness by Alfano Consulting Services.

 

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. A copy of the Trust Settlement Agreement and related promissory note dated April 5, 2018, by us in favor of the Trust is filed as Exhibit 10.36 to this Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference herein.

 

As a result of the transactions consummated by the Trust Settlement Agreement, we are committed to issue a reduced number of 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock and 1% of the royalties due on production of our GTL operational units to Ray Wright, the other founder and prior owner of GIE, pursuant to the GIE Acquisition Agreement.

 

Mining Leases

 

We have a minimum commitment during 2020 of approximately $11,160 for our annual lease maintenance fees due to Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for the Arizona Property, with such payment due by September 1, 2020. There is no actual lease agreement with the BLM, but we file an annual maintenance fee form and pay fees to the BLM to hold our claims.

 

Financing

 

Related parties

 

Financing to date has been provided by loans, advances from Shareholders and Directors and issuances of our Common Stock in various private placements to accredited investors, related parties and institutions.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2020, we received $101,832 in related party loans from a director, Kevin Jones, under the Mabert Loan facility. See also Note 5 – Notes Payable and Notes Payable Related Parties herein above.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2019, we received $50,000 in advances from two of our directors, Ransom Jones (who is also our CFO), and Kent Harer, who is also our acting (interim) President in amounts of $25,000 each, which were accrued as Advances - related parties for that period.

 

In June 2019, Michael Wykrent, a director purchased 1,200,000 shares of our Rule 144 restricted Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share for $60,000 in a private sale.

 

In September 2019, we sold 4,000,000 shares of our Rule 144 Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share for $200,000 to an accredited investor in a private sale.

 

In December 2019, we sold 1,250,000 shares of our Rule 144 Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share for $100,000 to an accredited investor in a private sale.

Third-party financing

 

We have also received loans from external lenders. In January 2020, we entered into that certain Purchase Agreement with PowerUp, which has further 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. We received $171,000 during the first quarter of 2020 under this Purchase Agreement in two convertible promissory notes executed in January and February 2020 in the amounts of $118,000 and $53,000, respectively. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and conditions to closing. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Payable herein above.

 

On February 11, 2020, the Company issued 600,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted Common Stock pursuant to a private placement sale to an accredited investor, for $60,000, or $0.10 per share.

 

On July 25, 2019, a Trustee for the Greer Trust sent notice to the Company of their election to convert all unpaid principal and accrued interest of $183,220 due under the Greer Note. The conversion price as calculated according to the Note’s terms was $0.0469 per share, resulting in a conversion of the Note and accrued interest into 3,906,610 shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares were issued in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Payable above.

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $166,667, payable by December 20, 2019. This loan is in default for breach of payment. By its terms, the cash interest payable increased to 18% per annum on December 20, 2018 and continues at such rate until the default is cured or is paid at term. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Payable above.

 

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. We have advanced a total of $412,847 to OPMGE, including $25,000 in the first quarter 2020, which we have accrued as a related party receivable and expect to be paid such advances as OPMGE receives expected financing and ramps up its operations in 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.

 

27

 

 

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 condensed unaudited 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 March 31, 2020, OPMGE had no material business activity as of such date. As described in “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions” to our Financial Statements above, we maintain a related party receivable from OPMGE related to advances made to assist in certain capital expenditures. We expect to fully recover the receivable once OPMGE operations ramp up in 2020.

 

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 March 31, 2020, or March 31, 2010. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in this Form 10-Q are to U.S. dollars.

 

28

 

 

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 – 2018.

 

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. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (10,857,737), shares of Common Stock convertible for debt (2,083,333) and shares of Common Stock outstanding but not yet issued (6,000,986) 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. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Payable to our Financial Statements for a more detailed description regarding our current convertible notes payable and warrants.

 

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.

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.” The update 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, the update 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 Greenway Technologies’ 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 the Company 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 entered into by the Company where this standard would otherwise apply. The Company does not have any lease agreements where such lease accounting standards would apply.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

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.

 

Item 4. 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:

 

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
     
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
     
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

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 March 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 internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 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 March 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

 

30

 

 

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 March 31, 2020:

 

  1. We have inadequate segregation of duties within our cash disbursement control design.
     
  2. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we internally performed all aspects of our financial reporting process including, but not limited to, the underlying accounting records and record journal entries and internally maintained responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. Due to the fact these duties were often performed by the same people, a lack of independent review process was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

  3. We do not have a sufficient number of independent or qualified directors for our Board of Directors and a qualified Audit Committee. We currently have only two (2) independent directors on our board, which is fully comprised of six directors, and accordingly we do not yet have a functioning audit committee, as the only otherwise qualified director is not independent. Further, as a publicly traded company, we should strive to have a majority of our board of directors be independent.

 

For the period ending March 31, 2020, Greenway internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statement due to the fact these duties were performed often times by the same people, a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

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.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

 

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 resulting in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, can 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 quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On October 19, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit by Norman Reynolds (“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 $90,377. While fully reserved, the Company vigorously disputed the total amount claimed and has asserted counterclaims based upon Reynolds’ alleged conflicts of interest, breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. We are confident in the Company’s defenses and counterclaims and intend to continue to vigorously defend the Company’s interests and prosecute its claims.

 

There are no other active material legal matters as of the date of this report. See also Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters herein above to the unaudited condensed condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Risks Related to our Business and Operations

 

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations and ability to file timely and accurate financial information.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s business, financial and governance operations are contracted with certain independent contractors and third-parties currently on “lock-down” orders or “shelter in place” recommendations related to the national health crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic, including key people responsible for assisting the Company in the development of its financial statements. As a result of the travel and work restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may be unable to fully review and certify certain financial statements that it needs to permit the Company to file timely and accurate quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, by the prescribed dates without undue hardship and expense to the Company.

 

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 COVID-19 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.

 

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 may require additional capital in order to fund our operations, which it may not be able to source on acceptable terms.

 

32

 

 

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:

 

  current and future direct sales and marketing efforts by small and large competitors;
     
  rapid and effective development of new, unique GTL techniques; and
     
  new and aggressive pricing methodologies

 

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.

 

The longevity of patents in the United Sates is limited in duration and may affect the Company’s long-term ability to successfully monetize the intellectual property it owns.

 

As of March 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. The term of each patent under U.S. law is 21 years. Accordingly, each of these patents will expire in the years 2034 and 2035 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.

 

33

 

 

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 an interim President, Kent Harer, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ransom Jones, both of whom are also members of our Board of Directors. Our engineering efforts are led by Thomas Phillips, who is also Vice President of Operations for GIE, but 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 other senior consultants to provide sales, 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 senior 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 sponsored research and development agreement with UTA is terminated, we may lose access to certain of the scientists that were instrumental in developing our technology.

 

To support our engineering efforts, we entered into a confidential SRA with UTA starting in October 2009 and continuing with confidential Scope of Work addendums added through today 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, 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 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:

 

  our limited operating history;
     
  the limited scope of our sales and marketing efforts;
     
  our ability to attract new customers, satisfy our customers’ requirements, and retain customers;
     
  general economic conditions;
     
  changes in our pricing capabilities;
     
  our ability to expand our business and operations by staying current with the evolving requirements of our target market;
     
  the effectiveness of our key personnel;
     
  our ability to protect our proprietary GTL Technology;
     
  new and enhanced products by us and our competitors;
     
  unanticipated delays or cost increases with respect to research and development; and
     
  extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments.

 

34

 

 

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 venture 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.

 

While we are considered a “green energy” technology, 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 may later 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.

 

35

 

 

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.

 

36

 

 

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 March 31, 2020, we had total liabilities of $7,797,864, including $2,247,551 of current debt (net of debt discounts totaling $222,995), bearing an average cash interest of 17.2% per year. We also have additional long-term liabilities of $525,000, in the form of a 3-year interest-only note payable, bearing interest at 7.5%, paid semi-annually, due in July 2022. For more details on our indebtedness, please see Notes 5 and 6 to our Financial Statements.

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

 

  We must use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest, which reduces funds available to use for other purposes, such as working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes;
     
  Our ability to refinance such indebtedness or to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes may be impacted; and
     
  Our leverage may be greater than that of some of our competitors, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage and reduce our flexibility in responding to current and changing industry and financial market conditions.

 

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:

 

  Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
     
  Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
     
  Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
     
  Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
     
  The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

 

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.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, we issued a total of 13,824,607 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 2,317,997 shares of restricted common stock to Director Kevin Jones for costs related to Promissory Notes the Company executed in 2018 and 2019; 3,906,610 shares related to the conversion of a loan, 7,000,000 shares related to employment agreements and 600,000 through a private sale to an accredited investor.

Our unregistered securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506(3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each investor took his/her securities 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 purchase of our securities. Our securities were sold only to accredited investors and current shareholders as defined in the Securities Act with whom we had a direct personal, preexisting relationship, and after a thorough discussion. Each certificate contained a restrictive legend as required by the Securities Act. Finally, our stock transfer agent has been instructed not to transfer any of such securities, unless such securities are registered for resale or there is an exemption with respect to their transfer.

 

All of the above described investors who received shares of our common stock were provided with access to our filings with the SEC, including the following:

 

  The information contained in our annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act.
     
  The information contained in any reports or documents required to be filed by Greenway Technologies 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.
