CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “ Form 10-K ”) contains “forward-looking statements,” all of which
are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,”
“plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,”
and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy and financial results. One must carefully consider any such
statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These
factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known
and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially.
Information
regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Form 10-K is included based on information available to us that we
believe is accurate. It is generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for purposes of Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) filings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or included data from
all sources and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or completeness of the data included in this Form 10-K. Forecasts and
other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties
accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of our services. We do not assume any obligation
to update any forward-looking statement. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
In
this Form 10-K, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and similar terms in this report,
including references to “UMED” and “Greenway” all refer to Greenway Technologies, Inc., and our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“ GIE ”), unless the context requires otherwise.

Overview
We
are engaged in the research and development of proprietary gas-to-liquids (“ GTL ”) synthesis gas (“ Syngas ”)
conversion systems and micro-plants that can be scaled to meet specific gas field production requirements. Our patented and proprietary
technologies have been realized in our first commercial G-Reformer TM unit (“ G-Reformer ”), a unique
component used to convert natural gas into Syngas, which when combined with a Fischer-Tropsch (“ FT ”) reactor
and catalyst, produces fuels including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and methanol. G-Reformer units can be deployed to process a
variety of natural gas streams including pipeline gas, associated gas, flared gas, vented gas, coal-bed methane and/or biomass
gas. When derived from any of these natural gas sources, the liquid fuels created are incrementally cleaner than conventionally
produced oil-based fuels. Our Company’s objective is to become a material direct and licensed producer of renewable GTL
synthesized diesel and jet fuels, with a near -term focus on U.S. market opportunities. For more information about our Company,
please visit our website located at https://gwtechinc.com/ .
Our
GTL Technology
In
August 2012, we acquired 100% of GIE, pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, by and between us and GIE, dated August 29,
2012, and filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Form 10-K, and incorporated by reference herein (the “ GIE Acquisition Agreement ”).
GIE owns patents and trade secrets for a proprietary technology to convert natural gas into Syngas. Based on a new, breakthrough
process called Fractional Thermal Oxidation™ (“ FTO ”), we believe that the G-Reformer, combined with conventional
FT processes, offers an economical and scalable method to converting natural gas to liquid fuel. On February 15, 2013, GIE filed
for its first patent on this GTL technology, resulting in the issue of U.S. Patent 8,574,501 B1 on November 5, 2013. On November
4, 2013, GIE filed for a second patent covering other unique aspects of the design and was issued U.S. Patent 8,795,597 B2 on
August 5, 2014. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various
components and processes relating to our proprietary GTL methods, complementing our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending
patent applications.
On
June 26, 2017, we and the University of Texas at Arlington (“ UTA ”) announced that we had successfully demonstrated
our GTL technology at our sponsored Conrad Greer Laboratory at UTA, proving the viability of the science behind the technology.
On
March 6, 2018, we announced the completion of our first commercial scale G-Reformer, a critical component in what we call the
Greer-Wright GTL system. The G-Reformer is the critical component of the Company’s innovative GTL system . A team
consisting of individuals from our Company, UTA and our Company’s contracted G-Reformer manufacturer worked together to
test and calibrate the newly built G-Reformer unit. The testing substantiated the units’ Syngas generation capability and
demonstrated additional proficiencies within certain proprietary prior prescribed testing metrics.
On
July 23, 2019, we announced that Mabert LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ Mabert ”), controlled by Kevin
Jones, one of our directors, acquired INFRA Technology Group’s U.S. GTL plant and technology located in Wharton, Texas (the
“ Wharton Plan t”). Mabert purchased the entire 5.2-acre site, plant and equipment, including INFRA’s proprietary
FT reactor system and operating license agreement.
On
August 29, 2019, to further facilitate the commercialization process, we announced that it entered into the joint venture, OPM
Green Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ OPMGE ”), for an ownership interest in the Wharton Plant.
The other members of OPMGE are Mabert and Tom Phillips, Vice President of Operations for GIE. Our involvement in OPMGE is intended
to facilitate third-party certification of our G-Reformer and related equipment and technology. In addition, we anticipate that
OPMGE’s operations will demonstrate that the G-Reformer is a commercially viable technology for producing Syngas and marketable
fuel products. As the first operating GTL plant to use our proprietary reforming technology and equipment, the Wharton Plant is
initially expected to yield a minimum of 75 - 100 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel fuels from converted natural gas.
On
April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion.
The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and
processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement our existing portfolio of issued
patents and pending patent applications.
- 1 -
On
December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington
(UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming
technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.
On
December 15, 2020, the Company announced additional information regarding valuable outputs produced by the company’s proprietary
G-Reformer ™ catalyst reactor and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology which combine to form the “Greer-Wright”
GTL solution. Originally developed to convert natural gas into ultra-clean synthetic fuel, recent research and development activity
has shown that the technology can also allow the extraction of high-value chemicals and alcohols. The chemical outputs include
n-Hexane, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecane, and n-Tridecane. Alcohols produced include ethanol and methanol. The company
has identified worldwide industrial demand for these outputs which will significantly improve the economic return on investment
(ROI) of GTL plants that are based on GWTI’s technology. GWTI is a development-stage company with plans to commercialize
its unique and patented technology.
Ultimately,
we believe that our proprietary G-Reformer is a major innovation in gas reforming and GTL technology in general. Initial tests
have demonstrated that our Company’s solution appears to be superior to legacy technologies, which are more costly, have
a larger footprint, and cannot be easily deployed at field sites to process associated gas, stranded gas, coal-bed methane, vented
gas, or flared gas. In addition, the Wharton Plant is anticipated to prove out the economics for the Company’s technology
and GTL processes.
The
technology for the G-Reformer is unique, because it permits for transportable (mobile) GTL plants with much smaller footprints,
compared to legacy large-scale technologies. Thus, we believe that our technologies and processes will allow for multiple small-scale
GTL plants to be built with substantially lower up-front and ongoing costs, resulting in more profitable results for oil and gas
operators.
GTL
Industry –Market
GTL
converts natural gas – the cleanest-burning fossil fuel – into high-quality liquid products that would otherwise be
made from crude oil. These products include transport fuels, motor oils, and the ingredients for everyday necessities like plastics,
detergents, and cosmetics. GTL products are colorless, odorless, and contain almost none of the impurities, (e.g., sulphur, aromatics,
and nitrogen) that are found in crude oil.
Our
Company has developed a revolutionary and unique process that converts natural gas of various origins and compositions into a
highly pure variety of chemicals, high cetane diesel fuel, industrial grade pure water and electrical energy. GTL technology has
existed as a traditional process going back generations. This process consists of two steps. First, natural gas is converted into
Synthesis Gas (Syngas) which is a non-naturally occurring blend of Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide. The front-end part of the GTL
process is called “Gas Reformation”. The output of the Gas Reformer is compressed and fed through a secondary process,
called Fischer-Tropsch (FT). This secondary process is widely used in many forms in the chemical and oil industries. While FT
is a common process, Gas Reformation has been the most difficult step beyond an old and traditional process typically used in
refineries. The invention of our software-controlled GTL process fronted by our patented and revolutionary gas reformation unit,
the G-Reformer®, makes us the innovator in GTL technology. Our patents are based on scalability, transportability, flexibility
and self-sustainment based on a wide variety of input gasses and output mixtures.
The
Company’s process is made of small sized modularly scalable units which are portable and self-contained unlike other GTL
solutions based on Steam Methane reformation. While many companies have tried to scale Steam Methane Reformation down for use
in smaller, non-refinery based GTL plants, they have been largely unsuccessful. As a result, we can build self-sufficient GTL
plants at virtually any location capable of supplying wellhead or pipeline gas of sufficient ongoing volume. This gives us the
ability to eliminate flaring at the source while keeping remote oil fields in production without flaring. The conversion of flaring
gas to liquid allows trucks to easily move liquid chemicals, clean diesel fuel, highly clean water and the power grid to move
electricity from virtually any location.
Our
initial ROI studies of the market for high purity chemicals we produce can provide incredibly rapid payback of investments. It
should be noted the vast majority of these chemicals produced are made in China. Further, because they originate from a barrel
of oil at a refinery, they are much lower in purity.
- 2 -
Products
created by the GTL process include High Cetane Diesel, Naphtha, Technical Grade Water, and high value, high purity chemicals.
The chemicals produced in the GWTI GTL plant are vital to many industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, fragrances, adhesives,
and others. The vast majority of these chemicals are produced in China. Such dependency makes America captive to shortfalls whether
they are manufacturing related or intentional. By making these chemicals in the USA, we reduce that dependency and keep the product,
the jobs, and the profits in America.
According
to publicly available industry research from Shell Oil, MarketResearchFuture.com, among others, the market for GTL products is
said to have accounted for approximately $11.9 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $20.4 billion by 2025, growing at a compound
annual growth rate of 7.55% over that period.
Development
of stringent environmental regulations by numerous governments to control pollution and promote cleaner fuel sources is expected
to complement industry growth. For example, we believe that U.S. guidelines such as the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board
Act, 2006, Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act of 1948, and Oil Industry (Development) Act, 1974 are likely to continue
to encourage GTL applications in diverse end-use industries to conserve natural gas and other resources. Under the Clean Air Act
(CAA), the EPA sets limits on certain air pollutants, including setting limits on how much can be in the air anywhere in the United
States. The Clean Air Act also gives EPA the authority to limit emissions of air pollutants coming from sources like chemical
plants, refineries, utilities, and steel mills. Individual states or tribes may have stronger air pollution laws, but they may
not have weaker pollution limits than those set by EPA. Because our G-Reformer based GTL plants are not considered refineries,
they do not fall under any related current EPA air quality guidelines. More information can be found under the EPA’s New
Source Performance Standards which are published under 40 CFR 60.
Competition
Key
industry players include: Chevron Corporation; KBR Inc, PetroSA, Qatar Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell; and Sasol Limited. In terms
of global production and consumption, Shell had the largest market share in 2019, with virtually all current production located
overseas. Our technology is not designed to compete with the large refinery-size GTL plants operated by such large industry operators.
Our plants are designed to be scaled to meet individual gas field production requirements on a distributed and mobile basis. According
to a report released in July 2019 by the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (“GGFRP”), there are currently only
5 small-scale GTL plant technologies that have been proven and are now available for flared gas monetization available in the
U.S., including: Greyrock (“Flare to Fuels”); Advantage Midstream (licensing Greyrock technology); EFT (“Flare
Buster”); Primus GE and GasTechno (“Methanol in a Box”). We were not a direct part of this study, as we had
not received 3rd party certification of our proprietary technology as of the date of this report.
However,
the GGFRP report mentioned us as follows, “Greenway Technologies announced on July 23 that Mabert LLC, a major investor
in Greenway, acquired the whole INFRA plant including an operating license agreement. The purpose of the acquisition is the incorporation
and commercial demonstration of Greenway’s ‘G-Reformer’ technology. We will see whether the new team will be
able to make the plant with the new reformer operational. (Globe Newswire, Fort Worth, Texas, Aug 31, 2019).”
Mining
Interests
In
December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management
(“ BLM ”) land in Mohave County, Arizona (such property, the “ Arizona Property ”), in an Assignment
Agreement dated December 27, 2010, and filed as Exhibit 10.31 to this Form 10-K, between Melek Mining, Inc., 4HM Partners, Inc.
and the Company, in exchange for 5,066,000 shares of our common stock. Early indications from samples taken and processed by Melek
Mining provided reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the Arizona Property could be significant,
but only actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value that may be realized from this property holding. While
we are not currently conducting mining operations, we are exploring strategic options to partner or sell our interest in the Arizona
Property, while we focus on our emerging GTL technology sales and marketing efforts.
Company
History
We
were originally incorporated as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation (“ Dynalyst ”) under the laws of the State
of Texas on March 13, 2002. In connection with the merger with Universal Media Corporation (“ UMC ”), a Nevada
corporation, on August 17, 2009, we changed our name to UMC. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and UMC was
the acquiring company on the basis that UMC’s senior management became the entire senior management of the merged entity
and there was a change of control of Dynalyst. The transaction was accounted for as recapitalization of Dynalyst’s capital
structure. In connection with the merger, Dynalyst issued 57,500,000 restricted equity securities to the shareholders of UMC in
exchange for 100% of UMC.
- 3 -
On
March 23, 2011, Universal Media Corporation approved and filed with the Texas Secretary of State an amendment to our Certificate
to change our name to UMED Holdings, Inc.
On
June 22, 2017, in recognition of our primary operational activity, we approved an amendment to our Certificate to change our name
to “Greenway Technologies Inc.” We filed a certificate of amendment with the Texas Secretary of State to affect that
name change on June 23, 2017.
On
June 26, 2019, we held our annual shareholders meeting in Arlington, Texas. There were seven proposals presented for vote by our
shareholders (the “ Shareholders ”), including to approve the Company’s slate of directors, to amend our
Certificate, to amend our bylaws, and to ratify our then current independent public accounting audit firm. We disclosed the results
of the vote of the Shareholders on our Current Report Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 2, 2019, which is incorporated herein
by reference. On August 1, 2019, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, noting that due to a potential tabulation error, we
were reviewing the results for Proposal 2, which was to amend our Company’s Certificate to increase the authorized shares
of capital stock of the Company and Proposal 3, which was to amend the Company’s Certificate to permit the vote of the holders
of the majority of shares entitled to vote on and represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Shareholders at which
a quorum is present, to be the action of the Shareholders, including for “fundamental actions,” as such term is defined
by the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “ TBOC ”) . To resolve any such potential errors, we called a special
meeting of the Shareholders to be held December 11, 2019, in Arlington, Texas.
On
December 11, 2019, we held a special meeting of the Shareholders to approve four proposals. In connection with these four proposals,
we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, which is attached as
Exhibit 3.1 to our Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 16, 2019, and incorporated herein
by reference. All four proposals passed overwhelmingly. For more information regarding these proposals, please see our Definitive
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on November 19, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference.
Employees
As
of the filing date of this Form 10-K, we have five (3) full-time employees. Certain of these employees receive no compensation
or compensation is deferred on a periodic basis by mutual agreement. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. We consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements to this Form 10-K (our “ Financial Statements ”) have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. As of December 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $33,021,801. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred
a net loss of $2,541,972 and used $686,032 in net cash for operating activities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary
financing to fund ongoing operations. While the Company is attempting to commence revenue generating operations and thereby generate
sustainable revenues, the Company’s current cash position is not sufficient to support its ongoing daily operations and
requires the Company to raise addition capital through debt and/or equity sources.
Accordingly,
our ability to continue as a going concern is therefore in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations
or on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way
of public or private offerings, or both. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to implement our business
plan to generate revenues will provide us the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
While
we are attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, our cash position may not be enough to support our daily operations.
Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently
being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going
concern. While management believes in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional
funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to
further implement our business plan and generate revenues.

Risk
Factors.
Risks
Related to our Business and Operations
We
may not be able to raise the additional capital necessary to execute our business strategy, which includes the production, sale
and/or licensing of our proprietary GTL technology solutions to oil and gas operators in the United States and elsewhere.
Our
ability to successfully execute the production, sale, or licensing of our GTL technology may depend on our ability to raise additional
debt or equity capital. Our ability to raise additional capital is uncertain and dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control
including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, regulatory factors, reduced retail sales, increased taxation, reductions
in consumer confidence, changes in levels of consumer spending, changes in preferences in how consumers pay for goods and services,
weak housing markets and availability or lack of availability of credit. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, or if
the terms thereof are too costly, we may be unable to successfully execute our business strategy.
Our
limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
We
are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. We
have yet to develop sufficient experience regarding actual revenues to be received from our GTL technology. You must consider
the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and evolving markets. If we are unsuccessful
in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially and
adversely affected. The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of limited
historical data and the uncertainties resulting from a relatively limited period in which to implement and evaluate our business
strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories.
We
have historically incurred losses.
We
are considered a pre-revenue or development stage company. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Due
to the inherent risk of commercializing new technology, there can be no assurance that we will earn net income in the future.
We will require additional capital in order to fund our operations, which it may not be able to source on acceptable terms.
Establishing
revenues and achieving profitability will depend on our ability to fully develop, certify and commercialize our GTL Technology,
including successfully marketing our GTL Technology to our customers and complying with possible regulations.
Much
of our ability to establish revenues, achieve profitability and create positive cash flows from operations will depend on the
completion of third-party engineering certification and subsequent successful introduction of our proprietary GTL technology.
Our prospective customers will not use our GTL technology unless they determine that the economic benefits provided by our GTL
solution is greater than those available from competing technologies and providers. Even if the advantages derived from our proprietary
GTL technology are well-established, prospective customers may elect not to use our GTL technology.
In
addition, as this is a new technology and GTL processing method, we may be required to undertake time-consuming and costly additional
development activities and seek regulatory clearance or approval for such new GTL technology. Such costs are not known by us as
of the date of this report.
Lastly,
the completion of the development and commercialization of our GTL technology remains subject to all the risks associated with
the commercialization of any new GTL processing system with production based on innovative technologies, including unanticipated
technical or other problems, manufacturing difficulties, and the possible insufficiency of the funds allocated for the completion
of such development.
- 5 -
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.
Although
the longevity of patents in the United States are limited in duration to 21 years, this should not affect the Company’s
long-term ability to successfully monetize the intellectual property it owns.
As
of December 31, 2020, we own United States Patents Nos. 8,574,501 B1, originally issued November 5, 2013 and 8,795,597 B2, issued
August 5, 2014, covering our GTL conversion technology for the purpose of converting natural gas to clean synthetic fuels in a
small-plant and mobile application. On April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation
for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion. The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international,
related to various components and processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement
our existing portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.
In
February 2021, the Company was issued Patent 10,907,104, the fourth patent relating to the company’s proprietary G-Reformer™
technology which allows for the conversion of natural gas into synthesis gas. The newly issued patent extends the methods and
details of generating syngas using the apparatus described in a previously issued patent No. 10,633,594, the company’s third
patent. As described in the patent, methane, oxygen, and steam are continuously injected into the combustion section of the apparatus
to generate carbon monoxide along with unreacted methane and steam. The carbon monoxide, unreacted methane, and steam then enter
the catalyst chamber where these components react to generate syngas. The pressure inside the reaction vessel is controlled at
no higher than 5 psig.
The
term of each patent under U.S. law is 21 years. Accordingly, each of these patents will expire in the years 2034, 2035 and 2041
respectively, unless they are modified with “improvements to the current art” by us, in which case their useful lives
may be extended. There is no certainty that we will be able to make such improvements to our currently held patents, and they
therefore may expire at their respective terms. Alternatively, a patent’s term may be shortened if a patent is terminally
disclaimed (litigated) over a commonly owned patent or a patent naming a common inventor has an earlier expiration date. There
is no certainty that we will be able to successfully defend our patents if such claims are made, and they may expire prior to
their respective terms.
We
are currently dependent on one equipment fabricator, the loss of which could adversely impact our operations.
We
contract our manufacturing production with a heavy equipment fabricator in Texas that has worked with us for several years and
specializes in the type of base refractory equipment we use in our proprietary G-Reformer based GTL processes. Accordingly, they
have developed certain manufacturing expertise specifically related to our equipment which may be hard to replicate with a new
manufacturer if they go out-of-business or end manufacturing for us for any reason. While there are similar manufacturers elsewhere
in the United States and overseas, they will take an unknown additional amount of time to gain the expertise necessary to produce
our proprietary refractory equipment, or may not be able to gain such expertise at all, limiting our production and related revenue
capability.

We
are dependent on a limited number of key executives, consultants, the loss of any of which could negatively impact our business.
Our
business is led by President, Kent Harer, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ransom Jones, both of whom are also members of our
board of directors (our “ Board of Directors ”). We use outside consultants to support and perform the majority
of the engineering and production work on our GTL technology. We have also contracted with consultants to provide financial reporting
and governance support.
If
one or more of these senior executives, officers, or consultants are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions,
we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted, along with our financial condition, such
that our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if the competition for senior management
and senior officers in our industry is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is limited, and we may not be able to retain
the services of our senior executives, key personnel, or consultants or attract and retain high-quality personnel in the future.
Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition, and the loss of one or more of these
key personnel could negatively impact our business and operations.
If
our research and development agreements with UTA are terminated, we may lose access to certain of the scientists that were instrumental
in developing our technology.
In
order to safe guard against this possibility, on December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing
agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark
Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.
To
support our engineering efforts, we also continued our ongoing confidential Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with
UTA which began in October 2009 and has continued in various forms through today, adding confidential Scope of Work addendums
over this period to develop and enhance our patented GTL system with the goal of developing commercial GTL plants to convert natural
gas into liquid fuels. We use UTA as an external research and development arm for the Company. If we or UTA were to terminate
our relationship for some extenuating circumstances, we might lose access to the scientists most familiar with our unique technology.
There is no assurance that we would be able to continue to improve on the technology we have developed thus far, potentially slowing
down our future commercialization and financing efforts.
Our
quarterly results may fluctuate substantially and if we fail to meet the expectations of our investors or analysts, our stock
price could decline substantially.
Our
quarterly operating results may fluctuate, and if we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors,
the trading price of our Common Stock could decline. Some of the important factors that could cause our revenue and operating
results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:
●
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.

We
may have difficulty in attracting and retaining outside independent directors to our Board of Directors as a result of their concerns
relating to potentially increased personal exposure to lawsuits and shareholder claims by virtue of holding those positions.
The
directors and management of companies are increasingly concerned with the extent of their personal exposure to lawsuits and shareholder
claims, as well as governmental and creditor claims that may be made against them, particularly in view of recent changes in securities
laws imposing additional duties, obligations, and liabilities on management and directors. Due to these perceived risks, directors
and management are also becoming increasingly concerned with the availability of directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance to timely pay the costs incurred in defending such claims. We currently carry directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance, but directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has recently become much more expensive and difficult
to obtain. If we are unable to continue or provide liability insurance at affordable rates or at all, it may become increasingly
more difficult to attract and retain qualified outside directors to serve on our board of directors.
We
may lose potential independent board members and management candidates to other companies that have greater directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance to insure them from liability or to companies that have revenues or have received greater
funding to date which can offer more lucrative compensation packages. The fees of directors are also rising in response to their
increased duties, obligations and liabilities as well as increased exposure to such risks. As a company with limited operating
history and resources, we will have a more difficult time attracting and retaining management and outside independent directors
than a more established company due to these enhanced duties, obligations and liabilities.
Our
future success relies upon our proprietary GTL Technology. We may not have the resources to enforce our proprietary rights through
litigation or otherwise. The loss of exclusive right to our GTL Technology could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We
believe that our GTL technology does not infringe upon the valid intellectual property rights of others. Even so, third parties
may still assert infringement claims against us. If infringement claims are brought against us, we may not have the financial
resources to defend against such claims or prevent an adverse judgment against us. In the event of an unfavorable ruling on any
such claim, a license or similar agreement to utilize the intellectual property rights related to the GTL technology in question,
which we rely on in the conduct of our business, may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if terms are offered at all.
Our
ability to obtain field-related operating hazards insurance may be constrained by our limited operational history.
The
oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure,
abnormally-pressured formations, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, natural gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic
gases. If any of these events should occur at our joint venture plant location, or at any future customer sites (none exist today),
we could incur legal defense costs and could suffer substantial losses due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction
of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation
and penalties, and suspension of operations. Such inability to defend ourselves or suffer catastrophic financial losses could
cause us to cease operations and/or declare bankruptcy.
Our
JV partner, OPMGE carries General Liability and Premises insurance. In the event we should have operations on future customer
sites, we plan to carry comprehensive general liability insurance will further provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage
to employees in all states in which we will operate. While these policies are customary in the industry, they do not provide complete
coverage against all operating risks, and as a small operator, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage. In addition,
our insurance may not cover penalties or fines that may be assessed by a governmental authority. A loss not fully covered by insurance
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, causing us to cease business
operations. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover every claim made against us or may not be commercially available
for purchase in the future.
- 8 -
Our
GTL Technology is subject to the changing of applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
Our
business is particularly subject to federal and state laws and regulations with respect to the oil and gas and mining industries.
Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate, navigate and respond to any changes that might occur. Due to our currently
limited financial resources, we might not be able to respond to unanticipated changes, should they occur and impact our operations,
and therefore have to cease operations.
Acts
of terrorism, responses to acts of terrorism and acts of war may impact our business and our ability to raise capital.
Future
acts of war or terrorism, national or international responses to such acts, and measures taken to prevent such acts may harm our
ability to raise capital or our ability to operate, especially to the extent we depend upon activities conducted in foreign countries.
In addition, the threat of future terrorist acts or acts of war may have effects on the general economy or on our business that
are difficult to predict. We are not insured against damage or interruption of our business caused by terrorist acts or acts of
war, and thus, our financial operations may be materially impacted by such events.
The
massive and currently unknown short- and long-term economic impacts of COVID-19 may impact our business and ability to raise capital.
COVID-19
and its current extraordinary impact on the world economy has reduced oil consumption globally, decreasing crude oil prices, to
levels not seen since the early 1980’s. The economics of GTL conversion rely in part on the arbitrage between oil and natural
gas prices, with economic models for many producers, including our own models, using a range of $30-60/bbl (for WTI or Brent Crude
as listed daily on the Nymex and ICE commodities exchanges) to determine relative profitability of their GTL operations. While
to date the Company has not been required to stop operating, management is evaluating its use of its office space, virtual meetings
and the like. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak
will impact our operations, the operations of OPMGE and/or ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.
We
may fail to establish and maintain strategic relationships.
We
believe that establishing strategic industry partnerships and natural gas producer customer relationships will greatly benefit
the growth of our business and the deployment of our GTL technology. To further such relationships, we have and will continue
to seek out and enter into strategic alliances, joint ventures, and similar production relationships, including similar to those
announced during the 2019 with INFRA Technologies, OPMGE and the ongoing relationship with UTA. We continue to seek out and have
discussions with potential gas producer on both a customer and financing basis. However, we may not be able to maintain our current
or enter into new strategic partnerships on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and may not be able to create financial
or customer relationships with natural gas producers. Even if we enter new natural gas producer relationships, such financial
partners and/or customers may not have sufficient production of location based natural gas to provide profitable revenues or otherwise
prove advantageous to our business. Our inability to enter into such new relationships or strategic alliances could have a material
and adverse effect on our business.
Risks
Relating to Our Mining Properties
There
is very limited risk, financial or otherwise, related to our mining leases and interests at this time.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
We
may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail, or our operating results
and our share price may be materially adversely affected.
Because
we have no record of profitable operations, we need to secure adequate funding on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to obtain
adequate funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our GTL technology and our business will likely fail.
We have limited commitments for financing. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities,
which may reduce the value of our outstanding securities. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms,
or at all.
- 9 -
Selling
additional shares of Common Stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our Shareholders. If we
borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If
we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect
on operating results and most likely result in a lower price per share of Common Stock.
Issuance
of additional Common Stock in exchange for services or to repay debt would dilute Shareholders’ proportionate ownership
and voting rights and could have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.
Our
Board of Directors has previously and may continue to issue shares of our Common Stock to pay for debt or services rendered, without
further approval by our Shareholders, based upon such factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant in its sole discretion.
It is likely that that we will issue additional securities to pay for services and reduce debt in the future. Such issuances may
lower the market price of our stock and decrease our ability to raise additional equity funding for working or investment capital
as may be needed at a later time.
Even
though our shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, an investor’s shares may not be “free-trading” and investors
may be unable to sell their shares of Common Stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to
the investor.
Investors
should understand that their shares of our Common Stock are not “free-trading” merely because we are a publicly traded
company. Shares bought from the Company or received for services rendered or in conjunction with the issuance of debt require
different holding periods, thereby creating a potential lack of liquidity and inability to sell such shares timely for any investor.
In order for our shares of Common Stock to become “free-trading,” the offer and sale of shares of our Common Stock
must either be registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities
Act ”), or be entitled to an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws, after being held for
statutory mandated periods.
In
addition, an investor has no assurance that our stock price will rise after purchase or receipt in any manner, as our stock has
shown significant volatility over the life of the Company. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our
Common Stock in the future: (i) actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; (ii) government
regulations; (iii) announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; (iv) our capital commitments;
(v) additional dilutive stock issuances, and (vi) additions or departures of key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our
control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions
or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time, including as to whether our Common
Stock will sustain the current market price, or as to what effect the sale of shares of Common Stock or the availability of shares
of Common Stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
If
we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB marketplace, operated by the OTC Markets
Group, Inc. (the “OTCMG”), which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability
of Shareholders to easily sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies
trading on the OTCQB must: (i) be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange
Act ”); (ii) must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act; and must pay an annual fee to OTCQB,
to maintain electronic price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current in our Exchange Act reporting requirements,
we could be removed from the OTCQB and be forced to be traded on the Pink Sheets, which requires a more challenging stock purchase
process. The OTCQB is recognized by the SEC as an established public market. This platform enables companies to provide current
public information that investors use to analyze, value and trade a security. The OTC Pink Sheets is the lowest and most speculative
tier of the three marketplaces for the trading of over-the-counter stocks. Companies traded on OTC Pink are not held to any particular
disclosure requirements or financial standards, and due to the wide variety of companies listed on OTC Pink, including dark companies,
delinquent companies and worse, they recommend only sophisticated investors with a high risk tolerance should consider it.
Pink
Sheet shares generally trade thinly and infrequently making it hard to buy or sell when the investor wants to complete a transaction.
In addition, trading in OTC Pink Sheet companies requires more paperwork because due the speculative nature of such stocks, the
U.S. Congress prohibited broker-dealers from effecting transactions in penny stocks unless they comply with the requirements of
Section 15(h) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.
- 10 -
These
SEC rules provide, among other things, that a broker-dealer must: (i) approve the customer for the specific penny stock transaction
and receive from the customer a written agreement to the transaction; (ii) furnish the customer a disclosure document describing
the risks of investing in penny stocks; (iii) disclose to the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock;
and (iv) disclose to the customer the amount of compensation the firm and its broker will receive for the trade. In addition,
after executing the sale, a broker-dealer must send to its customer monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer’s account. With the added inconvenience and cost for brokers, various large brokerage firms,
including Merrill Lynch, Capital One, Fidelity, E-Trade and even the new Robinhood, among others, have simply stopped providing
brokerage services for Pink Sheet stocks for new customers. Accordingly, the market for our common stock would be significantly
diminished if we were forced to trade on the OTC Pink Sheets market exchange.
Volatility
in the share price for our Common Stock may subject us to securities litigation.
There
is a limited market for the sale of shares of our Common Stock. The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant
price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our Common Stock share prices will be more volatile than
a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against
a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. In the future, we may be the target of similar
litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention
and resources away from our daily operations, negatively impacting our financial results.
We
do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our Common Stock.
We
have not paid any cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock since our inception and we do not anticipate that we will pay any
cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development
and expansion. Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends may be restricted under our debt agreements.
Our
substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.
We
have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which requires significant interest payments. As of December 31, 2020, we had $5,558,801
of total accrued current liabilities and $3,298,272 of current debt (net of debt discounts totaling $13,153), bearing an average
cash interest of 17.8% per year when current and 18% default interest when any such loans are not current. As of the date of this
Form 10-K, we are in default of loans totaling $691,667, of which $525,000, is in the form of a 3-year interest-only note payable,
due in July 2022. For more details on our indebtedness, please see Notes 5 and 6 of our Financial Statements.
Our
substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:
●
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.

Our
principal office is 1521 North Cooper St., Suite 205, Arlington, Texas 76011, leased at a rate of $949 per month, plus the cost
of utilities, which is generally less than $100.00 per month. We believe these facilities are adequate for at least the next 12
months. We expect that we could locate to other suitable facilities at comparable rates, should we need more or less space.
We
have unpatented mining claims for the Arizona Property. An unpatented mining claim is one that is still owned by the federal government,
but which the claimant has a right to possession to extracted minerals, provided the land is open to mineral entry. A description
of the Arizona Property is included in “Item 1. Business” and is incorporated herein by reference. We believe that
we have satisfactory title to the Arizona Property, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances,
liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties,
our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in a business. We believe that the Arizona Property is adequate
and suitable for the conduct of a mining business, should we decide to proceed with such operations in the future.

Legal
Proceedings.
On
September 7, 2018, Wildcat, a company controlled by a shareholder Gleason, filed suit against the Company, alleging claims arising
from a prior consulting agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s
fees. On September 27, 2018, Wildcat filed a second suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a Promissory Note between
the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. Through a mediated settlement,
the Company’s agreed to a Rule 11 Agreement, providing the Company execute a new promissory note to replace the prior Promissory
Note with new payment provisions, among other requirements, and further stipulating that the parties would enter into a form of
mutually settlement agreement. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement, Wildcat (Gleason) signed the
mutually agreed Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and all litigation among the parties was dismissed
by the Court on February 25, 2020.
On
October 19, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit by Norman Reynolds, a previously engaged counsel by the Company. The suit
was filed in Harris County District Court, Houston, Texas, asserting claims for unpaid fees of $90,378. While fully reserved,
Greenway vigorously disputes the total amount claimed. Greenway has asserted counterclaims based upon alleged conflicts of interest,
breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (“DTPA”). Greenway is confident
in its defenses and counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend its interests and prosecute its claims.

Dividend
Policy
We
have not paid or declared any dividends on our Common Stock, nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends or other distributions
on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors

Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued 38,619,398 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 23,746,266 for shares
related to loan conversion, 2,044,017 shares of restricted common stock for costs related to Promissory Notes the Company executed
in 2020 in favor of Mabert LLC; 529,711 shares issued for settlement of accrued legal expenses; 7,000,000 shares for employee
stock compensation and 4,441,667 through private sales to accredited investors.
We
relied upon the safe harbor found in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Regulation D ”)
and the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each investor took such investor’s shares
of Common Stock for investment purposes, without a view to distribution and had access to information concerning us and our business
prospects, as required by the Securities Act. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the offer and
sale of our Common Stock. We sold our shares of Common Stock to only “accredited investors” as defined in Section
501(a) of Regulation D, with whom we had a direct personal, preexisting relationship, and after we had a thorough discussion with
each accredited investor. Each certificate representing shares of our Common Stock contains a restrictive legend as required by
the Securities Act. Finally, we have instructed our Transfer Agent not to transfer any restricted shares of our Common Stock,
unless the offer and sale of such shares of Common Stock is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or is exempt from registration under federal and state securities laws.

The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the notes to those Financial Statements that are
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our discussion includes
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary
Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this Form
10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,”
“ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “predict,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within
the bounds of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements.
We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available
or other events occur in the future.
In
the below discussion, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and similar terms in this
report, as well as references to “UMED” and “Greenway” all refer to Greenway Technologies, Inc., and our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise.
Greenway
Technologies, Inc. is engaged in the research and development of proprietary gas-to-liquids syngas conversion systems and micro-plants
that can be scaled to meet specific gas field production requirements. The company’s patented and proprietary technologies
have been realized in its first commercial G-Reformer unit, a unique component used to convert natural gas into synthesis gas,
which when combined with a Fischer-Tropsch reactor and catalyst, produces fuels including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and methanol.
G-Reformer units can be deployed to process a variety of natural gas streams including pipeline gas, associated gas, flared gas,
vented gas, coal-bed methane and/or biomass gas. When derived from any of these natural gas sources, the liquid fuels created
are incrementally cleaner than conventionally produced oil-based fuels. Greenway’s objective is to become a material direct
and licensed producer of renewable GTL synthesized diesel and jet fuels, with a near term focus on U.S. market opportunities.
The
Company believes that its proprietary G-Reformer is a major innovation in gas reforming and GTL technology in general. Initial
tests have demonstrated that the Company’s solution appears to be superior to legacy technologies which are more costly,
have a larger footprint and cannot be easily deployed at field sites to process associated gas, stranded gas, coal-bed methane,
vented gas, or flared gas - all markets the Company seeks to service.
On
April 28, 2020, the Company was issued a new U.S. Patent 10,633,594 B1 for syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion.
The Company has several other pending patent applications, both domestic and international, related to various components and
processes involving our proprietary GTL methods, which when granted, will further complement our existing portfolio of issued
patents and pending patent applications.
On
December 8, 2020, the Company announced an exclusive worldwide patent licensing agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington
(UTA) for all patent applications currently filed with the Patent and Trademark Office relating to GWTI’s natural gas reforming
technologies developed under its sponsored research agreement with UTA.
- 15 -
On
December 15, 2020, the Company announced additional information regarding valuable outputs produced by the company’s proprietary
G-Reformer™ catalyst reactor and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology which combine to form the “Greer-Wright” GTL
solution. Originally developed to convert natural gas into ultra-clean synthetic fuel, recent research and development activity
has shown that the technology can also allow the extraction of high-value chemicals and alcohols. The chemical outputs include
n-Hexane, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecane, and n-Tridecane. Alcohols produced include ethanol and methanol. The company
has identified worldwide industrial demand for these outputs which will significantly improve the economic return on investment
(ROI) of GTL plants that are based on GWTI’s technology. GWTI is a development-stage company with plans to continue its
unique and patented technology.
Further,
the Company believes its technologies and processes will allow for multiple small-scale GTL plants to be built with substantially
lower up-front and ongoing costs resulting in more profitable results for O&G operators. In addition, the proprietary technology
based around the G-Reformer is unique in that it also allows for transportable (mobile) GTL plants with a much smaller footprint
as compared to legacy large-scale technologies. Greenway is in discussions with a number of oil and gas operators and other interested
parties to license and obtain joint venture or other forms of capital funding to build its first third-party customer gas-to-liquid
plant.
Mining
Interest
In
December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management
(“BLM”) land in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000 shares of restricted Common A stock. Early indications, from
samples taken and processed, provided reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the 1,440 acres
is significant, but only actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value which may be realized from this property
holding. The Company is currently exploring strategic options to partner or sell its interest in this acreage, while it focuses
on its emerging GTL technology sales and marketing efforts.
Going
Concern
We
remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered public accounting
firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 14, 2021, which is included with our consolidated
Financial Statements and raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As
of December 31, 2020, we had total liabilities in excess of assets by $8,844,210. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2020,
we used net cash of $686,032 for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern.
The
Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue
in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient new cash flows to
meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and/or ultimately to attain profitable
operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations, financing, or sufficient new cash flows will occur in the
future.
Our
ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to finance, manufacture, and market/operate GTL units. Our growth
is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of our Common
Stock or borrowing. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a
profit. We will be unable to pay our obligations in the normal course of business or service our debt in a timely manner throughout
2021 without raising additional debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will raise additional debt or equity
capital.
- 16 -
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.

Operating
Expenses . During the year ended December 31, 2020, operating expenses decreased to $1,371,512, as compared to $2,429,431 for
the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to a $490,923 decrease in salaries and a $270,621 decrease in
legal expense in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Major operating expense categories consisted of the following:
Salaries .
During the year ended December 31, 2020, total salaries decreased to $530,000 as compared to $1,020,923 for the year ended December
31, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects certain consultants becoming employees during 2019, which resulted in non-cash stock
compensation expense of $420,000 in 2019, compared to $0 2020.
Consulting
Fees . During the year ended December 31, 2020, consulting expense increased to $332,961, as compared to $251,377 for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in reliance on the use of consultants for the development
and production of the Company’s GTL technologies during 2020.
Professional
Fees . During the year ended December 31, 2020, professional fees decreased to $0, as compared to $6,292 for the year ended
December 31, 2109. Professional fees decreased due to elimination of certain prior vendors.
- 17 -
Travel
Expenses . During the year ended December 31, 2020, travel expenses increased to $18,487, as compared to $11,120 in the year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase in travel expenses was due to increased air travel during the first quarter of 2020.
Legal
Expenses . During the year ended December 31, 2020, legal expenses decreased to $206,796, as compared to $477,417 in the year
ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in legal fees was due primarily to additional work completed in 2019 related to the dissident
Shareholder actions and settlement of various matters compared to 2020.
Research
and Development Costs . During the year ended December 31, 2020, research and development costs decreased to $30,000, as compared
to $441,320 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was primarily due to the completion of the final stage of the last
Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University of Texas at Arlington for development of the Company’s
G-Reformer unit.
Interest
Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2020, interest expense increased to $769,170, including interest to related parties
of $562,890, as compared to $443,760 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the increase in borrowings
to fund operations and in the amortization of discounts on new convertible notes payable executed during the period.
Change
in Fair Value of Derivative Liability and Derivative Expenses . During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain
on the fair value of derivatives of $62,645, as compared to a loss of $64,899 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change
was due to the execution of the convertible notes payable in the first quarter, and the related changes under the derivative value
calculations using the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree model method, as well as the conversions of the convertible
notes to equity which were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Loss
from Operations. Our net loss from operations decreased to $1,371,512 in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to
$2,429,431 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to the Company incurring $30,000 Research and
Development expenses for the 2020 period, as compared to $441,320 for the same period of 2019; as well as a $490,923 decrease
in salary expense for the 2020 period as compared to the same period in 2019.
Net
Loss . Our consolidated net loss decreased to $2,541,972, or a negative $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings share for the
year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $3,661,245, or a negative $0.01 per basic and diluted earnings share for the same
period ended 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in Research and Development expenses, salary expenses and a
non-recurring settlement expense of $765,000 during the period ended December 31, 2019. The weighted-average number of shares
of Common Stock used in the earnings per share for the basic and dilutive computation was 312,854,191 for the year ended December
31, 2020, and 291,502,726 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
do not currently have sufficient working capital to fund our expected future operations. We cannot assure investors that we will
be able to continue our operations without securing additional adequate funding. We had $1,628 in cash, total assets of $12,863,
and total liabilities of $8,857,073 as of December 31, 2020. Total accumulated deficit at December 31, 2020, was ($33,021,801).
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet all of its financial obligations. The following table

We
are exploring various means to increase our working capital, including completing additional private stock sales and entering
new debt instruments. In January 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
with PowerUp Lending Group, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“PowerUp”), that specializes in making funding commitments
to small-cap public companies. PowerUp had agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 to us over a twelve (12) month period, subject to
period determined stock price and trading attributes, and we borrowed $171,000 during the first quarter of 2020 under this from
of Purchase Agreement. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the lenders converted the outstanding convertible
notes to equity.
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020, was $686,032, as compared to $1,302,528 for the year
ended December 31, 2019.
Investing
activities
Net
cash used in investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2020 was $25,000, as compared to $387,847 for the year ended
December 31, 2019, which consisted of advances made to OPMGE for deposits on a piece of specialized commercial equipment required
to convert the Wharton, TX manufacturing facility for use of our GTL technology.
F inancing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $696,617 for the year ended December 31, 2020, comprised of $155,000 in sales of our
Common Stock, $171,000 in proceeds from convertible notes payable, $215,609 in proceeds from Notes – Related Parties, $270,008
received from Shareholder (Director) advances, less $115,000 of payments on notes payable related to legal settlements.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $1,633,207 for the year ended December 31, 2019, comprised of $360,000 in sales of our
Common Stock, $1,302,188 in proceeds from Notes – Related Parties, $51,019 received from Shareholder (Director) advances,
less $80,000 of payments on notes payable related to legal settlements.
Our
accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our general business strategy is to first develop our GTL technology
to maintain our basic viability, while seeking significant development capital for full commercialization. As shown in the accompanying
Financial Statements, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $33,021,801 and $30,479,829 as of December 31, 2020, and 2019,
respectively. Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations
and on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations.
Commitments
Capital
Expenditures
The
last funded Scope of Work (“ SOW ”) under our SRA with UTA was completed in the year ended December 2019, with
payments made of $120,000 to complete the work described in the prior SOW. As we move into the testing and commercialization phase
of our GTL technology, we plan to update and enter into a new SOW with UTA for periods in 2021. This is anticipated to entail
a financial commitment of approximately $257,000 for a full twelve-month research cycle, which we have been told can be payable
in four equal installments of $64,250. However, we shall only execute such new SOW and notice UTA to start such work when we have
funds available to make such payments. As described elsewhere herein this Report, we are working to raise sufficient capital to
enter such new SOW, including from private stock sales, additional debt and payment from of our receivable with OPMGE. There is
no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to enter into such new SOW.

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

Paul
Alfano, a director and greater than five percent (5%) shareholder entered into a consulting agreement with us on April 19, 2018
via Alfano Consulting Services (the “Alfano Agreement”), to provide board and senior management advice, including
but not limited to corporate strategy, SEC regulatory adherence, sales and marketing strategies, document and presentation preparation
and fund-raising support. Terms included payment of billable time at $40.00 per hour, plus approved expenses, retroactive to January
1, 2017. A copy is available by Exhibit 10.44 incorporated by reference herein. The Alfano Agreement was terminated when Mr. Alfano
became a director on June 26, 2019. The Company has accrued Consulting Fees and Expenses of $111,858 for all prior periods through
the year ending December 31, 2020. There is no payment schedule agreed to by the parties, and such accrued expenses will be paid
only when the Company has sufficient liquidity to make such payment, or unless or until the parties agree to some other form of
payment provision.
On
October 19, 2020, the Company entered into a management consulting services agreement with Dean Goekel (the “Goekel Agreement”
via “Analytical Professionals”), to manage engineering and vendor relationships, assist in defining the design and
cost of certain capital equipment and to manage the direction of research, development and other related engineering activities.
Mr. Goekel will also support the Company’s ongoing business operations, including assistance in commercialization and market
implementation, strategic planning and other services. The agreed upon start date under the agreement is July 1, 2020 and
the minimum engagement term was for six (6) months. After the initial term the agreement automatically renews for subsequent six
(6) month terms unless the Company or Mr. Goekel terminates the agreement. Under the agreement, in exchange for Mr. Goekel’s
services he will receive a minimum monthly fee of $10,000 per month in deferred compensation until such time that adequate funds
are available for payment. As of December 31, 2020, we have accrued $60,000 in compensation expense related to this agreement.
Additionally, under the agreement Mr. Goekel was issued stock warrants for 3,000,000 shares at a strike price of $0.03 per share
effective July 1, 2020 and expiring on June 30, 2022. The Company recognized valued and recognized compensation expense related
to these warrants of $25,137 for the year ended December 31, 2020. After meeting certain deliverables set forth in the agreement,
Mr. Goekel will be issued stock warrants for 1,000,000 shares at a strike price that is an average of the stock price for the
90 days that the deliverables have been met.
Other
Pursuant
to the GIE Acquisition Agreement in August 2012, we agreed to: (i) issue an additional 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock when the
first portable GTL unit is built and becomes operational, and is capable of producing 2,000 barrels of diesel or jet fuel per
day, and (ii) pay a 2% royalty on all gross production sales on each unit placed in production, or one percent (1%) each to the
founders and previous owners of GIE. On February 6, 2018, and in connection with a settlement agreement dated April 5, 2018, by
and between the Greer Family Trust and us, which is the successor in interest one of the founders and prior owners of GIE, F.
Conrad Greer (“ Greer ”), (the “ Trust ”, and such settlement agreement the “ Trust
Settlement Agreement ”), we issued 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and a convertible promissory note for $150,000 to
the Trust in exchange for: (i) a termination of the Trust’s right to receive 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock in the future
and 1% of the royalties owed to the Trust under the GIE Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the termination of Greer’s then current
employment agreement with GIE; and (iii) the Trust’s waiver of any future claims against us for any reason. 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-K 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 $11,880 for our annual lease maintenance fees due to Bureau of Land Management
(“ BLM ”) for the Arizona Property with such payment completed by the Company on August 31, 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. The
next payment will be due on September 1, 2021.
Financing
Related
parties
Financing

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

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 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes
Payable to our Financial Statements.

December 20, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $166,667, payable by December 20, 2020. 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 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable
to our Financial Statements.
Seasonality
We
do not anticipate that our business will be affected by seasonal factors.
Impact
of Inflation
While
we are subject to general inflationary trends, including for basic manufacturing production materials, our management believes
that inflation in and of itself does not have a material effect on our operating results. However, inflation may become a factor
in the future. However, the COVID-19 virus and its current extraordinary impact on the world economy has reduced oil consumption
globally, decreasing crude oil prices, to levels not seen since the early 1980’s. The economics of GTL conversion rely in
part on the arbitrage between oil and natural gas prices, with economic models for many producers, including our own models, using
a range of $30-60/bbl (for WTI or Brent Crude as listed daily on the Nymex and ICE commodities exchanges) to determine relative
profitability of their GTL operations. While the COVID-19 virus may run its human course in the near term, we believe (as many
others in the U.S. government and media believe), that the economic impacts will be long lasting and for all practical matters,
remain largely unknown at this time.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During
the year ended December 2019, we entered into a revenue interest research and development venture with Mabert and an employee,
Tom Phillips, OPMGE. We account for our participation under the Equity Method, as further defined herein below, whereby we may
be subject to future gains and losses that are reasonably likely to have an effect on our reported results of operations and liquidity.
We are not required to invest, participate in any of the ongoing costs, financing or capital expenditures made by OPMGE. Since
inception of this arrangement, we have advanced a total of $412,885 to OPMGE, and accordingly, had accrued a receivable from OPMGE.
We have evaluated this receivable and have determine that collectability is uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has fully reserved
the full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020. Since this was a receivable and not an investment
in OPMGE, this allowance expense was included as a reserve for equity method receivable investment in the statement of operations
as of December 31, 2020.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
Financial Statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (“ GAAP ”). Preparing our Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s
application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”
Sales will be recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns
and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
We
evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , ” which evaluates the recoverability
of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future
cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived
assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.
- 23 -
We
believe that the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued Accounting Standard 606 – Revenue from
Contracts with Customers , as guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers in May 2014 with amendments
in 2015 and 2016. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires
disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with
the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up
transition method). We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and applied the cumulative catch-up transition method. The transition
adjustment to be recorded to stockholders’ deficit upon adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect upon
the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not, to date, generated any revenues.
Equity
Method Investment
On
August 29, 2019, we entered into a research and development venture, OPMGE, with Mabert and an employee, Tom Phillips. We contributed
a limited license to use our proprietary and patented GTL technology and a working G-Reformer refractory unit, for no actual cost
basis, in exchange for 300 membership units in OPMGE, equating to an approximately a 42.8% current interest in OPMGE, pending
the expected issuance of an additional 300 membership units, equating to a net 30% ownership interest in OPMGE at that time. There
was not previously and is no book or asset value attributed to the contributed technology. We evaluated our interest in OPMGE
and determined that we do not control OPMGE. We account for our interest in OPMGE via the equity method of accounting. To our
knowledge, at December 31, 2020, OPMGE had no material business activity as of such date. As described in “Note 9 –
Related Party Transactions” to our Financial Statements herein below, we maintain a related party receivable from OPMGE
related to advances made to assist in certain capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has fully reserved the
full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Accounting
Standard 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“ASC 718”) established financial accounting and
reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee
stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, we implemented ASC 718, and accordingly, we account for compensation
cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. We account for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with
ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods
or Services”.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Financial
Statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially
from the estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 3-months or less to be cash equivalents. There were
no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars”
in this Form 10-K are to U.S. dollars.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that we recognize deferred
tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit
(expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when
it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
- 24 -
We
have adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 , Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ ASC 750-10-05 ”).
ASC 750-10-05 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, ASC 750-10-05 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Open tax years, subject to IRS examination include
2014 – 2019.
Net
Loss per Share, Basic and Diluted
We
have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share , specifying the computation, presentation
and disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. In 2020, shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (7,000,000), shares of Common Stock convertible for debt (0) and shares
of Common Stock outstanding but not yet issued (537,762) have been excluded as a Common Stock equivalent in the diluted loss per
share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. ASC 815 requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing
of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged
asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction.
For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Concentration
and Credit Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, and trade receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high -credit quality institutions. At
times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities
(Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance
in Topic 810, Consolidation.” ASU No. 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development
stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, ASU 2014-10 adds
an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal
operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to our current activities. Furthermore, the update
removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is
a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for
a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period
or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made
available for issuance (other entities). We adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2019.
- 25 -
FASB’s
new lease accounting standard, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as provided by FASB in ASU No. 2018-11,
Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby we would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings in the period of adoption, will be applied to any new leases we enter into where this standard would otherwise
apply. We do not have any lease agreements where such lease accounting standards would apply.
Impact
of New Accounting Standards
We
have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any,
on our results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these pronouncements
are expected to have a significant effect on our Financial Statements.
Subsequent
Events
On
August 15, 2019, the Company issued a note to Southwest Capital Funding, Ltd. The note was issued in connection with a settlement
agreement relating to a guarantee by the Company of a note payable to Southwest Capital Funding, Ltd. The note is in the amount
of $525,000. Under its terms, interest is payable semiannually and the principal is due on August 15, 2022. Since the note was
issued, two semiannual payments of interest have been paid. The third was due on February 15, 2021. The Company has not paid that
payment, which resulted in a default on the loan.
In
February 2021, the Company was issued Patent 10,907,104, the fourth patent relating to the company’s proprietary G-Reformer™
technology which allows for the conversion of natural gas into synthesis gas. The newly issued patent extends the methods and
details of generating syngas using the apparatus described in a previously issued patent No. 10,633,594, the company’s third
patent. As described in the patent, methane, oxygen, and steam are continuously injected into the combustion section of the apparatus
to generate carbon monoxide along with unreacted methane and steam. The carbon monoxide, unreacted methane, and steam then enter
the catalyst chamber where these components react to generate syngas. The pressure inside the reaction vessel is controlled at
no higher than 5 psig.
Through
the period ended March 31, 2021, we received $142,934 in cash and payment advances from Kevin Jones, a director and greater than
5% shareholder. Such advances and any further advances received will be accrued as “Advances - related parties” in
the period received.

Controls
and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The
term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
- 26 -
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 GAAP, 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
the year ending December 31, 2020, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting
based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in 2013. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial
reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation,
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control
over financial reporting was ineffective.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by,
or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As
of December 31, 2020, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework
in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our
management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing
of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded
that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.
- 27 -
We
have identified at least the following deficiencies, which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020:
1.
We
have inadequate segregation of duties within our cash disbursement control design.
2.
During
the year ended December 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.
We
are continuing the process of remediating our control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting that have been identified will not be remediated until numerous new internal controls are implemented and operate for
a period of time, are tested, and we are able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. We cannot provide
assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in our Financial Statements.
We cannot make assurances that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
in the future. Our management plans, as capital becomes available to us, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff
and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial
professionals.
It
should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of
how remote.
Our
management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have a material effect on our financial results. However,
the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors results in
potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures and could potentially
have an impact our financial statements.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees
of the Board
On
June 22, 2018, pursuant to the authority granted to our Board of Directors in Section 2.10 of Article Two of our bylaws, the Board
of Directors created an executive committee (the “ Executive Committee ”). As of the date of this report, the
designated directors comprising the Executive Committee include Ray Wright, Kent Harer, Paul Alfano and Ransom Jones. The Executive
Committee may consider and review any and all such matters or issues it deems necessary coming before us and take such further
lawful actions as it determines to be consistent with its responsibilities. Given our small size, with the exception of the Executive
Committee, our entire Board of Directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, compensation and
nomination deliberations.
The
responsibilities of other committees now or to be adopted in the future are currently are fulfilled by our Board of Directors
and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, two of whom are “independent” as defined in the listing
standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., which states in part, that, “that an independent director must not be an officer
or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s
board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.”
Audit
Committee
Our
entire Board of Directors currently performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of
our Board of Directors when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. Our Board of
Directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss
issues related to financial reporting. In addition, our Board of Directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the
independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy
of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent
auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. At the present time, Ransom Jones, our Chief Financial Officer and one
of our directors, is considered to be our expert in financial and accounting matters.
Nomination
Committee
Due
to our size and the size of our Board of Directors, we do not require a separate nominating committee at this time. When evaluating
director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:
●
The
appropriate size of our Board of Directors;
●
The
knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light
of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of our Board
of Directors;
●
Experience
in political affairs;
●
Experience
with accounting rules and practices; and
●
The
desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new members of
our Board of Directors.
Our
goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business
and professional experience. In doing so, our Board of Directors will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
- 31 -
Other
than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our Board of Directors may also consider
such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as the interests of our Shareholders. In addition, our Board
of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service.
Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to
continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service
or if our Board of Directors decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, our Board of Directors then identifies the desired
skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of our Board of Directors are polled for
suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. Our Board of Directors may also engage in research to identify
qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees,
although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third-party search firm, if necessary. Our Board of Directors does not
typically consider Shareholder nominees, because it believes that our current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors
who serve our Shareholders’ best interests .
As
approved by our Shareholders at a Special Shareholders meeting (“ Special Shareholders Meeting ”) held on December
11, 2019, we amended our Certificate of Formation (fka Articles of Incorporation) to change the voting requirements specifying
that the vote required to approve certain actions before our Stockholders, including “fundamental actions,” as defined
by Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) Section 21.364, and “fundamental business transactions,”
as defined by TBOC Section 1.002(32). See our Form 8-K filed December 16, 2019 for more detailed information, incorporated by
reference herein.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act (“ Section 16(a) ”) requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own
more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons
also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Communication
with Directors

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

process, one of our officers reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the directors a summary of all such correspondence,
together with copies of all such correspondence that, in the opinion of such officer, deal with functions of our Board of Directors
or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all
correspondence received by us that are addressed to members of the board and request copies of such correspondence.
Conflicts
of Interest
With
respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures, which
require that the: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to
the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval; and (ii) the transaction be fair
and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
Code
of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers
We
have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (our “ Code of Ethics ”), which applies to our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all persons providing similar functions. Our
Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
●
honest
and ethical conduct;
●
full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements;
●
compliance
with applicable laws, rules and regulations;
●
the
prompt reporting violation of the code; and

Ongoing
accountability for adherence to our Code of Ethics.

of Ethics free of charge upon request to any person submitting a written request to our Secretary.

Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.
Other
than as stated herein, there are no other agreements with any of our officers and directors.
After
approval given during a properly called special meeting of the Board of Directors, on September 14, 2018, Mabert, which is owned
and controlled by our director and Shareholder, Kevin Jones, and his late wife Christine Early, entered into a loan agreement
with us (the “ Loan Agreement ”), for the purpose of funding working capital and general corporate expenses of
up to $1,500,000 (the “ Loan Amount ”). With Board of Directors consent, the Loan Amount was subsequently increased
to provide up to a total $5,000,000 of availability under the Loan Agreement for us. The Company’s bylaws provide no bar
from transactions with Interested Directors, so long as the interested party does not vote on such transaction. Mr. Jones did
not vote on this transaction.
Mr.
Jones, his late wife and Mabert have loaned a total $1,751,324 to the Company and six other Shareholders have loaned the balance
of $660,281, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, through the year ending December 31, 2020. These loans are secured by the assets
of our Company. A financing statement and UCC-1 have been filed according to Texas statutes. Should a default under the Loan Agreement
occur, there could be a foreclosure or a bankruptcy proceeding filed by Mabert on behalf of the lenders party to the Loan Agreement.
A foreclosure sale or distribution through bankruptcy could only result in the creditors receiving a pro rata payment based upon
the terms of the Loan Agreement. Mabert did not nor will it receive cash compensation for its efforts.
Mr.
Jones, as the owner and managing member of Mabert, is also the managing and control member of OPMGE, a research and development
venture in and to which the Company has a significant revenue member interest and has licensed its proprietary GTL technology
and equipment. Due to Mr. Kevin Jones’ family relationship as the brother of Mr. Ransom Jones, our CFO, and his control
position over Mabert and OPMGE, Mr. Jones is not considered an independent director.
Mr.
Michael Wykrent, a director, made loans totaling $425,000 under the Mabert Loan Agreement to us prior to his being elected as
a director of the Company. Mabert operates as an agent for various lenders, including Mr. Wykrent, and manages such loans on behalf
of the various lenders under the Loan Agreement. Mr. Wykrent was elected as a non-executive director and we believe that Mr. Wykrent
remains an independent director, despite having this lending relationship through Mabert, which, in the opinion of the Company’s
Board of Directors, would not interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of
a director.

Mr.
Paul Alfano, a director, was contracted as a consultant by the Company in April 2018 prior to his being elected as a director
of the Company, thereupon such consulting contract was terminated. In his consulting role, Mr. Alfano’s total fees never
exceeded $120,000 for any prior period. We have accrued a total $111,858 for the fees and expenses that were remaining under his
consulting agreement at the time Mr. Alfano was elected as a non-executive director. At the current time, there is no specific
timetable for repayment of such accrued expenses and we believe that Mr. Alfano remains an independent director, despite having
these accrued prior consulting expenses, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would not interfere
with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
One
director, Kevin Jones made advances of $142,934 to us in the fourth quarter of 2020, in cash amounts and non-reimbursed payment
for services. Although we expect to repay such advances during fiscal year 2021, actual repayment of such advances is subject
to an indefinite timeframe due to our financial condition and circumstances, and each director recognizes that we may not be able
to make such repayments on a timely basis.
Director
Kevin Jones, through Mabert, acquired a non-operational GTL plant in Wharton, TX in July 2019, and contributed it form a joint
venture with us in August 2019, which included a separate interest for one of our former key employees, Tom Phillips, who owns
a 10% revenue interest, in OPMGE. We agreed to contribute a limited license to our proprietary technology and equipment, and also
agreed to share Phillips and other Company personnel with OPMGE, in order for it to complete third party engineering certification.
Director
Independence
Mr.
Alfano and Mr. Wykrent serve as our two independent directors. We use the definition of “independent director” as
defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Under this standard, an “independent director” is
a person other than an executive officer or employee of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the
opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the
responsibilities of a director. In addition, the following persons shall not be considered independent:
●
A
director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company;
●
A
director who accepted or who has a family member who accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during
any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:
(i) compensation for board or board committee service; (ii) compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other
than as an executive officer) of the issuer; or (iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary
compensation;
●
A
director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company
as an executive officer;
●
A
director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any
organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current
or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed five percent of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that
year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s
securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;
●
A
director of the issuer who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at
any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of the issuer serve on the compensation committee of such
other entity; or
●
A
director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner
or employee of the registrant’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit at any time during any of the
past three years.
Under
these standards required to an independent director, none of Mr. Harer, Mr. K. Jones, Mr. R. Jones, nor Mr. Wright qualify as
independent directors.
We
hope to add additional qualified independent members to our Board of Directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to
reach and maintain financial stability and/or continuing operations.

our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31,
2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory
Paragraph – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to
the financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2,542,000 and $686,000,
respectively for the year ended of December 31, 2020 and a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $8,844,000
and $33,022,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Collectability
of Note Receivable
Description
of the Matter
On
August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of OPMG Green Energy, LLC (OPMGE).
The Company contributed a limited license to use its proprietary and patented GTL technology for no actual cost basis in exchange for
42.86% (300 of 700 currently owned member units) revenue interest in OPMGE, expected to be later reduced to a 30% interest upon the completion
of certain expected third-party investments for the remaining 300 of 1,000 member units available. Through the period ended December
31, 2020, the Company made advances to OPMGE of $412,885. In the event of default, the Company holds a second lien against the assets
of OPMGE. The amount advanced was booked as a related party receivable by the Company. Given the uncertainty of collectability of this
receivable, the Company has fully reserved the amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020.
How
We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The
primary procedure we performed to address this critical audit matter included evaluating OPMGE’s 2020 financial statements and
management’s assessment of collectability of the note. We also obtained a copy of the security agreement and a commitment letter
from the lender to determine the likelihood of collectability. Based on our procedures we agreed with management that the Note Receivable
should have a valuation allowance.
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2020 and 2019
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 a proprietary technology to convert natural gas into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Based on its breakthrough
process called Fractional Thermal Oxidation™ (“FTO”), the Company believes that the G-Reformer, combined with
conventional 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.
To date, the Company has not raised sufficient funding to achieve the aforementioned objectives but continues to work toward that
end.
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.

Going
Concern Uncertainties
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $33,021,801.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $2,541,972 and used $686,032 in net cash for operating activities.
In addition, we had a working capital deficiency of $8,844,210 as of December 31, 2020. 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
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.
The
accompanying 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.
Reclassification
In
the current year, the Company reclassified settlement amounts previously presented in the Balance Sheets as “Accounts payable”
to “Notes payable and convertible notes payable” and cash payments made related to the settlement as a change in accrued
expenses in net cash used in operating activities to payments on other notes payable in net cash provided by financing activities.
For comparative purposes, the amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations .
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary of significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the 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 year ended December 31, 2020.
F- 7
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
has not, to date, generated any revenues.
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 December 31, 2020, there was no change in the investment cost of $0. At December
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 $412,885 related to our advancing capital for certain of OPMGE’s capital expenditures that we
believe are in the Company’s best interests. Due to the uncertainty of the collectability of the OPMGE receivable, the Company
has fully reserved the full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of 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 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,
valuation of share-based costs, 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.
There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
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 2016 – 2020, with no corporate tax returns
filed for the years ending 2016 to 2020.
F- 8
Net
Loss Per Share, basic and diluted
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, the basic loss per share was computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2020, shares issuable
upon the exercise of warrants (7,000,000), no shares convertible for debt and shares outstanding but not yet issued (537,762)
have been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For
the year ended December 2019, shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants (10,857,737), shares convertible for debt (2,083,333)
and shares outstanding but not yet issued (13,000,986) 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 did not have any derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
entered into two convertible notes creating derivative liabilities which were converted into shares and settled during the year.
See Note 6 – Notes Payable and 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
December 31, 2020 and 2019:

The

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 consolidated financial statements.

Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires
that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options.
Concentration
and Credit Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash.
The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the FDIC insurance
limit of $250,000. The Company did not have cash on deposit in excess of such limit on December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research
and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense
as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development
costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the
applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed
in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $30,000 and $441,320 during the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Issuance
of Common Stock
The
issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded by the Company at market values based on the closing price of the stock
on the date of any such grant.
Impact
of New Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE
6 – NOTES PAYABLE 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 interest then due, with 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 Note 5 – Term Notes Payable and Notes Payable
Related Party.
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.
The
Company issued a $150,000 convertible promissory note January 16, 2018 bearing interest at 4.50% per annum to an accredited investor,
the Greer Family Trust (“Trust”), payable in equal installments of $6,000 plus accrued interest until the principal
and accrued interest are paid in full. The note provided the Trust a right to convert the note into common stock of the Company
at a conversion price of equal to seventy percent (70%) of the prior twenty (20) days average closing market price of the Company’s
common stock. As of April 1, 2018, only one $6,000 payment had been made, creating a material event of default. At which time,
the default interest rate became 18%. The Company accrued such default interest since the default.
On
July 25, 2019, a Trustee for the Trust sent notice to the Company of their election to convert all unpaid principal and accrued
interest of $183,220 due under the note. The conversion price as calculated according to the note’s terms is $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.
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 $58,595 based on the difference between the fair value of the 1,578,947 convertible shares at the valuation
date and the $150,000 note value. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was being amortized over the term
of the debt. Due to the conversion of the convertible note on July 25, 2019, the Company extinguished the total $168,375 derivative
liability as of the conversion date, recording a $64,899 loss in the fair value of a derivative for the year ended December 31,
2019.
On
September 26, 2019, the Company 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%,

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. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered
into, and converted to equity, two Convertible Promissory Notes, for total proceeds of $171,000. See Note 5 – Term Notes
Payable and Notes Payable Related Parties.
The
Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and conditions to closing. Material terms of
the notes (“Notes”) include the following provisions:
●
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 a 35% discount to 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 its first 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 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 December 31, 2020 was $0, as the entire note had been converted into shares issued. The conversion of the note
occurred on several dates, as such the range of values for the conversion dates is presented below. See Note 5 – Term

cash, under substantially similar terms described above, incorporating a new issue date for a one-year term maturing on February
12, 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.

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 late 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 December 31, 2020, a total of $2,424,758 (excluding debt discount of $13,153) has been loaned to the
Company and $562,890 has been accrued in interest by eight shareholders, including Mr. Jones. Since the inception of the Loan
Agreement through December 31, 2019, a total of $2,031,056 (excluding debt discount of $107,880) had been loaned to the Company
by six shareholders, including Mr. Jones. See Note 5 – Term Notes Payable and Notes Payable Related Parties.
F- 18
Through
Mabert, as of December 31, 2020, Mr. Jones along with his late wife and his company have loaned $1,751,324, and six other shareholders
have loaned the balance of the Mabert Loans. As of December 31, 2019, Mr. Jones along with his wife and his company had loaned
$1,426,056, and four other shareholders had 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued expenses for related parties of $1,797,818 to account for the total deferred
compensation expenses among two current executives, two former executive and one current employee. For the year ended December
31, 2019, the Company accrued expenses for related parties of $1,369,389 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $142,934 in cash and payment advances from Kevin Jones, a greater than
5% shareholder, which has been accrued as “Advances - related parties” for the period. In the year ended December
31, 2019, the Company received $51,019 in advances from three of our directors, Ransom Jones, Kent Harer and Kevin Jones, in the
amounts of $25,000, $25,000 and $1,019 respectively, which have been accrued as “Advances - related parties” for the
period.
For
the periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company made advances to an affiliate, OPMGE, of $412,885 and $387,847,
respectively. As reported previously, the Company owns a non-consolidating 42.86% interest in the OPMGE GTL plant located in Wharton,
Texas. In the event of default, the Company holds a second lien against the assets of OPMGE. The amount advanced was booked as
a related party receivable by the Company. Given the uncertainty of the collectability of this receivable, the Company has fully
reserved the full amount of this equity method receivable with OPMGE as of December 31, 2020. The Company does not consider the
results of the equity method investee to be material to the Company’s net loss. The cost basis for this equity method
investee is zero and thus, losses have not been allocated to the Company. The financial data for OPMGE for the period ended
December 31, 2020 is as follows:

As
of December 31, 2020, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $33.0 million available to reduce
future federal taxable income. Net operating loss carryforwards of $26.5 million expire through fiscal years ending 2038, and
$6.5 million may be carried forward indefinitely. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable
income that can be offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally a greater than 50% change in ownership).
The
Company’s ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due
to the non-filing of tax returns and the impact of the statute of limitations on the Company’s ability to claim such benefits.
Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Due to these limitations,
and other considerations, management has established full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets relating to net operating
loss carryforward, as the realization of any future benefits from these assets is uncertain. The change in the valuation allowance
was $4,002,769 and $5,469,078 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other
In
the August 2012 acquisition agreement with Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“GIE”), the Company agreed 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.
F- 21
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
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.
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.
Greenway
rents approximately 600 square feet of office space at 1521 North Cooper St., Suite 205, Arlington, Texas 76011, at a rate of
$949 per month, under a one-year lease agreement, renewable for successive one-year terms in the Company’s sole discretion.
Each
September, the Company pays $11,880 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
On
September 7, 2018, Wildcat, a company controlled by a shareholder Gleason, filed suit against the Company, alleging claims arising
from a prior consulting agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s
fees. On September 27, 2018, Wildcat filed a second suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a Promissory Note between
the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. Through a mediated settlement,
the Company’s agreed to a Rule 11 Agreement, providing the Company execute a new promissory note to replace the prior Promissory
Note with new payment provisions, among other requirements, and further stipulating that the parties would enter into a form of
mutually settlement agreement. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement, Wildcat (Gleason) signed the
mutually agreed Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and all litigation among the parties was dismissed
by the Court on February 25, 2020.
On
October 19, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit by Norman Reynolds, a previously engaged counsel by the Company. The suit
was filed in Harris County District Court, Houston, Texas, asserting claims for unpaid fees of $90,378. While fully reserved,
Greenway vigorously disputes the total amount claimed. Greenway has asserted counterclaims based upon alleged conflicts of interest,
breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (“DTPA”). Greenway is confident
in its defenses and counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend its interests and prosecute its claims.
