Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods ending June 30, 2021 and
2020 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Financial Statements and the notes to those unaudited Financial Statements
that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our discussion includes
forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations,
and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Notice Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We use words such
as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,”
“expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,”
“predict,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed
in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business, our actual
results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
Information
regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Report is included based on information available to us that we believe is
accurate. Much of this general market information is based on industry trade journals, articles and other publications that are not produced
for purposes of SEC filings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed nor included data from all possible sources and cannot assure
investors of the accuracy or completeness of any such data that is included in this Report. 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. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
The
following discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources, should be read in
conjunction with our Annual Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2021. As discussed in Note 2 to these condensed unaudited consolidated financial
statements, our recurring net losses and inability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations and sustain our operations
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also
discussed in Note 2 to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties, including information with respect to our plans, intentions and strategies for our businesses.
Our actual results may differ materially from those estimated or projected in any of these forward-looking statements.
In
this Form 10-Q, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and similar terms in this report, including
references to “Greenway” all refer to Greenway Technologies, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., 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
a variety of 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,
(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.
17
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.
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 consists 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, efforts have been largely unsuccessful. In contrast, we plan to
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 liquids allows for transportation of liquid chemicals, clean diesel fuel and highly clean water.
Our
initial ROI studies of the market for the high purity chemicals we expect to produce can provide rapid payback of investments.
It should be noted that today, the majority of these chemicals are produced in China. Because they are produced
from oil at a refinery, they are much lower in purity than the same chemicals produced from gas.
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 pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fragrances, adhesives,
and others. Dependency on China makes the United States captive to shortfalls whether manufacturing related or intentional.
By producing these chemicals in the US, that dependency is reduced resulting in an increase in jobs, and a reduction
of imports.
According
to publicly available industry research from Shell Oil, MarketResearchFuture.com, and others, the market for GTL products was
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%.
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. 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 five small-scale GTL plant technologies that have been proven
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”). GWTI
was 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.
19
However,
the GGFRP report mentioned GWTI 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, 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.
Employees
As
of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, we have three (3) full-time employees. Certain of these employees receive no compensation or compensation
is deferred on a periodic basis by mutual written agreement. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We
consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.
Going
Concern
We
remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm
issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 14, 2021 and filed with our annual report on Form 10-K, which is included
by reference to our Financial Statements and raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As
of June 30, 2021, we had total liabilities in excess of assets by $9,530,367 and used net cash of $425,817 for our
operating activities. This is as compared to the most recent year ended December 31, 2020, when 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-Q do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient new cash flows to meet our obligations on
a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and/or ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there
is no assurance that profitable operations, financing, or sufficient new cash flows will occur in the future.
Our
ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to finance, manufacture, and market/operate GTL units. Our growth is dependent
on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of our Common Stock or borrowing.
There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit. We will be unable to
pay our obligations in the normal course of business or service our debt in a timely manner throughout 2021 without raising additional
debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will raise additional debt or equity capital.
20
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 be insufficient 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.

in Fair Value of Derivative Liability and Derivative Expenses . During the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the loss on the fair value
of derivatives was $0 as compared to a gain of $68,683 for the change in the derivative fair value and a debt expense of $33,978 related
to the derivatives, for the prior year six-month period in 2020. The change was due to the execution of the two PowerUp convertible notes
payable in the first quarter of 2020, and the related changes in their fair values in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. The
convertible notes payable were settled as of December 31, 2020.
Net
Loss from Operations. Our net loss from operations increased to $646,099 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $578,502
for the six-months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due primarily to increased consulting fees and research and development expenses
for the period, offset by decreased legal fees, travel expenses and salaries in the current period compared to the prior year.
Net
Loss . Our net loss increased to $938,234 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $916,184 for the same six-month
period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased consulting fees and research and development expenses as well as having no
associated gain on the change in fair value of the derivative in the six-months ended June 30, 2021, due to the settlement of the derivative
as of December 31, 2020. The increases were offset by decreased salaries, legal expenses, and interest expense.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
do not currently have sufficient working capital to fund our expected future operations. We cannot assure investors that we will be able
to continue our operations without securing additional adequate funding. As of June 30, 2021, we had $56,124 in cash, total assets of
$56,224, and total liabilities of $9,586,591. Our total accumulated deficit on June 30, 2021, was $(33,960,035).
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash. In the six-months ended June 30, 2021, our
working capital deficit increased by $686,157, excluding the $525,000 reclass of the Southwest Capital note payable to long-term liabilities,
from the recent year-ended December 31, 2020 primarily as the result of increases in accrued expenses and accrued expenses – related
parties of $161,187, accrued interest payable of $240,432 and increases in notes payable to related parties of $329,720.
21
We
are exploring various means to increase our working capital, including completing additional private stock sales and entering into
new debt instruments.
Operating
activities
Net
cash used in continuing operating activities during the six-months ended June 30, 2021, was $425,817, as compared
to $418,879 for the six-months ended June 30, 2020.
Investing
activities
Net
cash used in investing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, was $0 compared to $25,000 for the period ended June
30, 2020, consisting of additional advances to OPMGE for deposits on a piece of specialized commercial equipment required to convert
the Wharton, TX manufacturing facility for use of our GTL technology.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $480,313 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, consisting of stockholder
advances - related party of $286,313, sales of the Company’s Common Stock to private accredited investors of $219,000,
offset by payments on the note payable to Wildcat of $25,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $427,907
for the six-months ended June 30, 2020, consisting primarily of the proceeds from a loan made by Director and shareholder,
Kevin Jones, a related party under the Mabert Loan Agreement of $101,833, two loans from PowerUp totaling $171,000, sales of the
Company’s Common Stock to accredited private investors of $75,000, and advances by three of our directors of $130,074, offset
by payments on notes payable to Wildcat of $50,000.
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. Our ability to continue as a going concern
is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing
operations.
Seasonality
We
do not anticipate that our business will be affected by seasonal factors.
Commitments
Capital
Expenditures
The
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. We signed a new SRA with UTA effective March 1, 2021 which relates
to the testing and commercialization phase of our GTL technology. The term of the agreement is through February 15, 2022. The first payment
under the SRA was made in March 2021 for $30,000. Going forward on the 15 th of each month we will pay UTA $15,454.54 through
February 15, 2022, for a total commitment of $200,000. For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, we have paid UTA a total of $78,000.
Operational
Expenditures
Employment
Agreements
In
August 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with our chairman of the board, Ray Wright, as president of Greenway Innovative
Energy, Inc., for a term of five years with compensation of $90,000 per year. In September 2014, Wright’s employment agreement
was amended to increase such annual pay to $180,000. By its terms, the employment agreement automatically renews each year for successive
one-year periods, unless otherwise earlier terminated. During the three-months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid and/or accrued
a total of $45,000 for the period under the terms of the agreement.
22
Effective
May 10, 2018, we entered into identical employment agreements with John Olynick, as President, and Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer,
respectively. The terms and conditions of their employment agreements were identical. John Olynick elected not to renew his employment
agreement and resigned as President on July 19, 2019. Ransom Jones, as Chief Financial Officer, earns a salary of $120,000 per year.
Mr. Jones also serves as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer. During each year that Mr. Jones’ agreement is in effect,
he is entitled to receive a bonus (“Bonus”) equal to at least Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) per year, such amount
having been accrued for the period ended June 2021. Both Mr. Olynick and Mr. Jones received a grant of common stock (the
“Stock Grant”) at the start of their employment equal to 250,000 shares each of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
$.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), such shares vesting immediately. Mr. Jones is also entitled to participate in the
Company’s benefit plans when such plans exist.
Mr.
Olynick elected not to renew his employment agreement and resigned as President on July 19, 2019. Upon his resignation, we agreed to
pay the balance of his Employment Agreement then due and owing over time. Accordingly, we accrued $110,084 for the balance of his Employment
Agreement, against which we have paid $35,000, leaving a balance remaining of $75,084 as of June 30, 2021. In addition, Mr. Olynick
had previously entered into a consulting agreement (the “ Olynick Agreement ”) to provide general advisory services
with us on April 18, 2019, and which included terms for payment of billable time at $40.00 per hour, plus approved expenses. The Olynick
Agreement was terminated when Mr. Olynick became President of the Company on May 10, 2018. We have accrued $24,710 in expenses related
to such prior consulting agreement expenses.
Effective
April 1, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Thomas Phillips, Vice President of Operations, for a term of 12 months with
compensation of $120,000 per year. Mr. Phillips reports to the President of GIE. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Phillips is
entitled to a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par value
$.0001 per share, with such shares having been issued in February 2020. In addition, Mr. Phillips resigned from the Company effective
December 15, 2020. We have accrued $175,000 for salary expenses outstanding as of June 30, 2021.
Effective
April 1, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Ryan Turner for a term of twelve (12) months with compensation of $80,000
per year, to manage our business development and investor relations. Mr. Turner reports to the President of Greenway Technologies and
is entitled to a no-cost grant of common stock equal to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Rule 144 restricted common stock, par
value $.0001 per share, valued at $.06 per share, or $150,000, which we expensed as of the effective date of the agreement. Mr. Turner
is also entitled to certain additional stock grants based on our performance during the term of his employment and to participate in
our benefit plans, when and if such plans become available.
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. 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.
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. The Alfano
Agreement was terminated when Mr. Alfano became a director on June 26, 2019. The Company has accrued Consulting Fees and Expenses of
$116,423 for all prior periods through June 30, 2021. 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.
23
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 June 30, 2021, we have accrued $120,000 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 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.
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 2021 of approximately $11,880 for our annual lease maintenance fees due to Bureau of Land Management
(“ BLM ”) for the Arizona Property, with such payment due by September 1, 2021. 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.

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 June 30, 2021.
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
evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , ” which evaluates the recoverability of long-lived
assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future cash flows associated
with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient
to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.
We
believe that the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of our financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued Accounting Standard 606 – Revenue from Contracts
with Customers , as guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers in May 2014 with amendments in 2015 and 2016.
Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding
the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two
methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We adopted the guidance
on January 1, 2018 and applied the cumulative catch-up transition method. The transition adjustment to be recorded to stockholders’
deficit upon adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect upon the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The Company has not, to date, generated any revenues.
25
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 June 30, 2021, OPMGE had
no material business activity as of such date. As described in “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions” herein above,
we maintain a related party receivable from OPMGE related to advances made to assist in certain capital expenditures. As of June 30,
2021, 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 June 30, 2021, or December 31, 2020. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in
this Form 10-Q are to U.S. dollars.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that we recognize deferred tax liabilities
and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using
enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from
the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not
that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We
have adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 , Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ ASC 750-10-05 ”).
ASC 750-10-05 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, ASC 750-10-05 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Open tax years, subject to IRS examination include 2016 – 2020.
Net
Loss per Share, Basic and Diluted
We
have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share , specifying the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements of earning per share information. Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. Shares issuable upon the exercise
of warrants (3,000,000) and shares outstanding but not yet issued (424,128) have been excluded as a common stock equivalent in
the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2021. Shares issuable upon the exercise
of warrants (8,000,000), shares convertible for debt (8,440,307) and shares outstanding but not yet issued (203,646) have
been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive as of June 30,
2020.
26
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
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect
on the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As
a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are
not required to provide information requested by this item.
