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,” “GWTI” 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.

Business.
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 ”), 100% owned by Kevin Jones,
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 Greenway entered into a joint venture with OPM
Green Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ OPMGE ”), for a 42.857% ownership interest in OPMGE. In exchange
for its 42.857% ownership of OPMGE, Greenway agreed to contribute a G-Reformer to the entity. The other members of OPMGE are Mabert,
which owns 42.857% and Tom Phillips, our former Vice President of Operations for GIE, who owns 14.286%. Additionally, OPMGE entered a
LEASE AGREEMENT with Mabert whereby OPMGE leased the Wharton Plant from Mabert. Our involvement in OPMGE was intended to facilitate third-party
certification of our G-Reformer and related equipment and technology. In addition, we anticipated that OPMGE’s operations would
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 was initially expected to yield a minimum of 75
- 100 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel fuels from converted natural gas.
Greenway
never transferred the G-Reformer to OPMGE, as required by the LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF OPM GREEN ENERGY, LLC. Accordingly,
it defaulted on its obligation under the agreement. Under the LEASE AGREEMENT between Mabert and OPMGE, OPMGE was required to pay rent
and to pay the following expenses relating to the operation of the Wharton Plant:
●
Utilities
●
Trash
removal and lawn maintenance
●
Taxes
●
Insurance
●
Maintenance,
Repairs or Alterations
The
lease stated that this transaction was a “Triple Net Lease.”
If
OPMG did not pay rent or the other expenses outlined above, it represented Events of Default, which allowed Mabert the right to terminate
the lease. Based on the Events of Default that occurred, Mabert exercised its right to terminate the lease.
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.
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
which would be produced in the GTL plant would be 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.
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 2021, 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, 2018 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
3.9 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 two (2) 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, 2022, we have an accumulated deficit of $36,278,869. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss
of $1,512,692 and used $496,654 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
blend stock 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.
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.
- 6 -
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 our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Raymond Wright, 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 safeguard 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 do not carry
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, since 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
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,
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. Our affiliation with OPMGE was terminated. We continue to seek
out and have discussions with potential gas producer on both a customer and financing basis. However, we may not be able to maintain
our current or enter into new strategic partnerships on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and may not be able to create financial
or customer relationships with natural gas producers. Even if we enter new natural gas producer relationships, such financial partners
and/or customers may not have sufficient production of location based natural gas to provide profitable revenues or otherwise prove advantageous
to our business. Our inability to enter into such new relationships or strategic alliances could have a material and adverse effect on
our business.
Risks
Relating to Our Mining Properties
There
is very limited risk, financial or otherwise, related to our mining leases and interests at this time.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
We
may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail, or our operating results and
our share price may be materially adversely affected.
Because
we have no record of profitable operations, we need to secure adequate funding on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to obtain adequate
funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our GTL technology and our business will likely fail. We have limited
commitments for financing. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities, which may reduce the
value of our outstanding securities. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.
Selling
additional shares of Common Stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our Shareholders. If we borrow
money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable
to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results
and most likely result in a lower price per share of Common Stock.
- 9 -
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 near 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, 2022, we had $10,765,118 of
total accrued current liabilities and $3,664,941 of current debt (net of debt discounts totaling $1,991, which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2022), with interest rates ranging from 4.5% - 18%, some of our debt contains
default interest rates at 18% when any such loans are not current. For more details on our indebtedness,
please see Notes 3,4 and 5 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.

Staff Comments.
The
Company received a letter dated November 15, 2021, from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) asking for the Company
for comments on disclosures made in the Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and in the Form 10-Q for the Period Ended June
30, 2021. The inquiry pertained to disclosures under Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K. Item 307 of Regulation S-K addresses “Disclosure
Controls and Procedures” and Item 308 of Regulation S-K addresses “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” The
Company responded to the inquiry. In a letter to the Company from the Securities and Exchange Commission dated February 2, 2022, the
SEC stated, “We have completed our review of your filings.” This action closed the matter.

Properties.
Our
principal office is 1521 North Cooper St., Suite 205, Arlington, Texas 76011, leased at a rate of $985 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.

Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued 27,550,037 shares of the Company’s common stock as follows:
Stock
issued as debt issued costs - 302,038
Stock
issued for cash (PPM) – 20,667,999
Stock
issued to settle accrued liabilities – 6,200,000

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.

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,”

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.
- 14 -
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.
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.
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 (debt and/or equity) for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered
public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 14, 2023, which is included with our
consolidated Financial Statements and raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

1
– Our net loss decreased primarily due to recording a gain on debt settlement of $70,377 and decreases in our operating expenses
of $178,027, (both general and administrative expenses and research and development), from $1,120,901 to $942,874.
2
– Our net cash used in operations in 2022 was less than 2021. The change was primarily due to the recognition of a gain on
debt settlement of $70,377 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $165,877.
3
– The increase in working capital deficit from 2021 to 2022 primarily relates to less cash in 2022 of $35,954, higher accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $101,283, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party of $707,914.
4
– The increase from 2021 to 2022 is based upon the current year net loss.
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.
- 15 -
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 2023 without raising additional
debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will raise additional debt or equity capital.
We
are currently evaluating strategic alternatives that include (i) raising new equity capital and/or (ii) issuing additional debt instruments.
The process is ongoing, lengthy and has inherent costs. There can be no assurance that the exploration of these strategic alternatives
will result in any specific action to alleviate our 12-month working capital needs or result in any other transaction.
While
we are attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily
operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our securities. Management believes that the actions
presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going
concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may
not be successful. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan
and generate revenues.

Our
accompanying 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. 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 consolidated financial statements, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $36,278,869 and $34,766,177
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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

Employment
Agreements
In
August 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with Raymond Wright, for the position of president of GIE, for a term of five years
with compensation of $90,000 per year. In September 2014, Mr. Wright’s employment agreement was amended to increase his annual
pay to $180,000. By its terms, Mr. Wright’s employment agreement automatically renewed on August 12, 2020, 2021, and 2022 for a
successive one-year periods. During the twelve-months ended December 31, 2022, we paid and/or accrued a total of $180,000 for this calendar
year under the terms of the agreement. Mr. Wright is also the chairman of our Board of Directors.
- 18 -
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 December 31, 2022. 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. The foregoing summary of Mr. Olynick’s and Mr. Jones’s employment agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the actual true and correct Employment Agreements by and between Mr. Olynick, Mr. Jones and our Company,
dated May 10, 2018, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.39 and 10.40 to this Form 10-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Mr.
Olynick elected not to renew his employment agreement and resigned as President on July 19, 2019. Upon his resignation, we agreed to
pay the balance of his Employment Agreement then due and owing over time. Accordingly, we accrued $110,084 for the balance of his Employment
Agreement, against which we have paid $35,000, leaving a balance remaining of $75,084 for the year ending December 31, 2022. 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 $25,510 in expenses
related to such prior consulting agreement expenses. See Exhibit 10.42 incorporated by reference herein.
Effective
April 1, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Thomas Phillips, Vice President of Operations, for a term of 12 months with

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.

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 $120,988 for all prior periods through the year ending December
31, 2021. During 2022, Mr. Alfano and the Company mutually agreed to issues Company shares to Mr. Alfano in full satisfaction of the
$120,988 Consulting Fees and Expenses that were accrued as of December 31, 2021.
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, 2022, we have accrued $300,000 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. Mr. Goekel did not exercise any of the stock warrant prior to June
30, 2022 and the warrants expired unexercised. 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. No such deliverables have been met to date, and currently management does not believe these 1,000,000 warrants will
be earned by the service provider.

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

(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.

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

2022, our annual lease maintenance fees due to Bureau of Land Management (“ BLM ”) for the Arizona, were $16,200. 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 August 31, 2023.

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. However, based on events of default in their agreement with the Company, Mabert no longer has any formal arrangements with OPMGE
or Tom Phillips. Since inception of this arrangement, we have advanced a total of $412,885 to OPMGE. Given the uncertainty of the collectability
of this receivable, the Company has fully reserved for this amount as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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.
- 23 -
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.
Use
of Estimates
Preparing
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Changes
in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other
assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant
estimates during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, include valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Equity
Method Investment
On
August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of 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. However, Greenway never transferred the G-Reformer to
OPMGE, as required by the LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF OPM GREEN ENERGY, LLC. Accordingly, it defaulted on its obligation under
the agreement. Since the Wharton Plant is owned by Mabert, OPMGE was no longer a viable entity as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
- 24 -
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no assets within OPMGE. Accordingly, the Company’s receivable with this
entity is fully reserved for as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less
at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
At
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
The
Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent
account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did
not have any cash in excess of the insured FDIC limit.
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.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not
that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using
that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position
will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had
no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC 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.
- 25 -
The
Company incurred research and development expenses of $54,275 and $158,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair
value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized
over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions
in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of those equity instruments.
The
Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the
fair value of options.
The
fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services
is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
When
determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
●
Exercise price,
●
Expected dividends,
●
Expected volatility,
●
Risk-free interest rate; and
●
Expected life of option

Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Pursuant
to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common
shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common
stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
At
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company had the following common stock equivalents outstanding, which are potentially dilutive
equity securities:

Recent
Accounting Standards
Changes
to accounting principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”)
to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting
pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial
statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements,
when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Subsequent
Events
From
January 1, 2023 through April 14, 2023, the Company issued 10,333,333 shares of common stock comprised of: 8,333,333 shares of Rule
144 restricted Common Stock issued in a private placement to three accredited investors at $0.015 - $0.020 per share $160,000 and
2,000,000 shares to our Chief Financial Officer for services rendered, having a fair value of $20,000 ($0.01/share), based upon the

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.
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

- 28 -
In
the year ending December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, our
internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.
We
have identified at least the following deficiencies, which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022:
1.
We
have inadequate segregation of duties within our cash disbursement control design.
2.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The
members of our Board of Directors are subject to change from time to time by the vote of our Shareholders at special or annual meetings
to elect directors. Our current Board of Directors consists of five directors, who have expertise in our business. No date for the next
annual meeting of Shareholders is specified in our bylaws or has been fixed by the Board of Directors. Officers are elected annually

immediately after the next annual meeting of Shareholders, or until such time when such officer’s successor is elected and qualified.

foregoing notwithstanding, except as otherwise provided in any resolution or resolutions of the board, directors who are elected at an
annual meeting of Shareholders, and directors elected and/or appointed in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships,
will hold office for the term for which elected and/or appointed until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier
death, resignation or removal.
Whenever
the holders of any class or classes of stock or any series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to any resolution
or resolutions of the Board of Directors, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series thereof may generally
be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series then in office, or, by a sole remaining director
so elected or by the unanimous written consent, or, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes
of stock or any series thereof, entitled to elect such director or directors.

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.
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 .

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

honest

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 former 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.
K. Jones and his late wife and Mabert have loaned a total $2,057,341 to the Company and four other Shareholders have loaned the balance
of $793,433, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, through the year ending December 31, 2022. 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.
K. Jones, as the owner and managing member of Mabert, was also the managing and control member of OPMGE, a research and development venture
in and to which the Company had a significant revenue member interest and has licensed its proprietary GTL technology and equipment.
Any relationship between Greenway and OPMG has been terminated.Due to Mr. Kevin Jones’ family relationship as the brother of Mr.
Ransom Jones, our CFO, and his control position over Mabert , Mr. Jones was 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 and has had $80,000 of loans subsequently. 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.
- 36 -
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 $120,988 for the fees and expenses that were remaining under his consulting agreement at
the time Mr. Alfano was elected as a non-executive director and the associated accrued interest on these fees. During 2022, the Company
and Mr. Alfano agreed to issue shares in full satisfaction of the $120,988.
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. 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.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Greenway Technologies, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenway Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, 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 1 to
the financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $1,512,692 and $496,654, respectively,
for the year ended December 31, 2022, and a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $10,737,576 and $36,278,869,
respectively, as of December 31, 2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. 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.
We
did not identify any critical audit matters that need to be communicated.
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Organization
and Nature of Operations
Greenway
Technologies, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” 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 been realized in Greenway’s first generation commercial-scale G-Reformer TM
unit (“G-Reformer”), a unique and critical component of the Company’s overall GTL technology solution. 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.
Both
of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: Universal Media Corp and Logistix Technology Systems, Inc. are currently inactive.
Impact
of COVID-19
The
ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies
and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19
has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and
financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19
pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service
providers.
In
addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for products
and services and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues
to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.
The
ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may
emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or
the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption and reduced operations.
Any
resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.

Liquidity,
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had:
● Net
loss of $ 1,512,692 ; and
● Net
cash used in operations was $ 496,654
Additionally,
at December 31, 2022, the Company had:
● Accumulated
deficit of $ 36,278,869
● Stockholders’
deficit of $ 10,737,576 ; and
● Working
capital deficit of $ 10,737,576
The
Company has cash on hand of $ 24,595 at December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect to generate sufficient revenues or positive cash
flows from operations sufficiently to meet its current obligations. However, the Company may seek to raise debt or equity-based capital
at favorable terms, though such terms are not certain.
These
factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period
subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s
strategic plans include the following:
● Execute
business operations more fully during the year ended December 31, 2023,
● Explore
and execute prospective strategic and partnership opportunities

2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Greenway and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Business
Segments
The
Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to
report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance
as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company has identified one single reportable operating segment.
The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment and derives revenues from selling its product and
related services.
Use
of Estimates
Preparing
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Changes
in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other
assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant
estimates during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, include valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements .
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific
asset or liability.
The
Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement.
The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining
fair value.
The
three tiers are defined as follows:
● Level
1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets
or liabilities in active markets;
● Level
2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either
directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities;
and
● Level
3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the
Company to develop its own assumptions.
The
determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations
often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation
methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the
asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions
of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors
to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
Although
the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative
of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
The
Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses – related parties, advances
and various debt instruments are carried at historical cost. At December
31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature
of these instruments.
ASC
825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable
unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument
should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding
financial instruments.

Equity
Method Investment
On
August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of 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. However,
Greenway never transferred the G-Reformer to OPMGE, as required by the LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF OPM GREEN ENERGY, LLC.
Accordingly, it defaulted on its obligation under the agreement. Since the Wharton Plant is owned by Mabert, OPMGE was no longer a
viable entity as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no assets within OPMGE. Accordingly, the Company’s receivable with this
entity is fully reserved for as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less
at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
At
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did no t have any cash equivalents.
The
Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent
account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $ 250,000 . At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did
no t have any cash in excess of the insured FDIC limit.

Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Management
evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances
indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible
assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative
to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes
in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be
generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.
If
impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to
be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Property
and Equipment
Expenditures
for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When
property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.
Management
reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of the asset may not be recoverable.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”),
“ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “ Derivatives
and Hedging” . Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease
in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The
Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.
Upon
conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated
and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock
at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Equity
instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities
at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
At
December 31 , 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company had no derivative liabilities.

Debt
Discount
For
certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded
as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Debt
Issue Cost
Debt
issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the
underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not
that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using
that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position
will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had
no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC 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 $ 54,275 and $ 158,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the
fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized
over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions
in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of those equity instruments.
The
Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the
fair value of options.
The
fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services
is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
When
determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
● Exercise
price,
● Expected
dividends,
● Expected
volatility,
● Risk-free
interest rate; and
● Expected
life of option

Stock
Warrants
In
connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its
common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are
classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the
measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction
in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite
service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Pursuant
to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common
shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common
stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
At
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company had the following common stock equivalents outstanding, which are potentially dilutive
equity securities:

Recent
Accounting Standards
Changes
to accounting principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”)
to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting
pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial
statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements,
when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
The
Company combined various accrued liabilities into one caption called accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The
Company combined various accrued liabilities with related parties into one caption called accounts payable and accrued expenses –
related parties.
The
Company separately disclosed its notes payable and convertible notes payable.
The
Company separately reflected amortization of debt discount from general and administrative expenses.
These
reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.

Legal
Matters
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 $ 90,377 . 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”).
On
November 17, 2021, Greenway and Mr. Reynolds settled the matter agreeing to cash payments from GWTI totaling $ 20,000 . During the year
ended December 31, 2022, and upon settlement of the obligation, the Company recorded a gain on legal settlement of $ 70,377 .
On
September 7, 2021, the Company was served with a demand for mediation and potential arbitration by Gregory Sanders, a previous employee
of the Company. The demand claims Mr. Sanders had an employment agreement with the Company entitling him to certain compensation payments
under the contract. No conclusion was met during mediation which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021 or as of December 31, 2022. Greenway
is confident in its defenses and counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend its interests and prosecute its claims.

Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the federal and state income tax rates in effect to the gross amounts of temporary
differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized,
the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which these deductible
temporary differences reverse.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022 the valuation allowance decreased by approximately $ 3,259,000 . The total valuation allowance results
from the Company’s estimate of its uncertainty in being unable to recover its net deferred tax assets.
At
December 31, 2022, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of
approximately $ 23,380,000 . The Company is in the process of analyzing their NOL and has not determined if the Company has had any change
of control issues that could limit the future use of these NOL’s.
NOL
carryforwards that were generated after 2017 of approximately $ 23,380,000 may only be used to offset 80 % of taxable income and are carried
forward indefinitely.
These
carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state
provisions if the Company experienced one or more ownership changes which would limit the amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards
that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382
and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more
than 50 percentage points over a three- year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis. If a change in ownership
were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted.
If
eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance.
Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s
effective tax rate.
The
Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States and Texas jurisdictions. Due to the Company’s net operating loss
posture, all tax years are open and subject to income tax examination by tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to recognize
interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as tax expense. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were
no unrecognized tax benefits, and there are no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company had no t
filed any corporate tax returns since the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s failure to file penalties are immaterial.
Note 11 – Subsequent Events
Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company reflects
the following:
Stock Issued for Cash
The Company issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock
for $ 140,000 ($ 0.02 /share).
The Company issued 1,333,333 shares of common stock
for $ 20,000 ($ 0.015 /share).
Stock Issued for Services
The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock
to its Chief Financial Officer for services rendered, having a fair value of $ 20,000 ($ 0.01 /share). The fair value of these shares was
based upon the quoted closing trading price.
