GWTI Greenway Technologies Inc (PK)

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Nature of Operations

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

Greenway’s GTL Technology

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

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

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

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

Basis of Presentation

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

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

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

Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $31,042,578. For the three-months ended March 31, 2020, we had no revenue, generated a net loss of $562,749 and used cash of $262,572 for operating activities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations or on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. While the Company is attempting to commence revenue generating operations and thereby generate sustainable revenues, the Company’s current cash position is not sufficient to support its ongoing daily operations and requires the Company to raise addition capital through debt and/or equity sources. Management believes that its current and future plans will enable it to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of this report.

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

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Property and Equipment

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

Revenue Recognition

The FASB issued ASC 606 as guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers in May 2014 with amendments in 2015 and 2016. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, its effective date. The Company has not, to date, generated any revenues.

Equity Method Investment

On August 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement related to the formation of OPM Green Energy, LLC (OPMGE). The Company contributed a limited license to use its proprietary and patented GTL technology for no actual cost basis in exchange for 42.86% (300 of 700 currently owned member units) revenue interest in OPMGE, expected to be later reduced to a 30% interest upon the completion of certain expected third-party investments for the remining 300 of 1,000 member units available. The Company evaluated its interest in OPMGE and determined that the Company does not control OPMGE. The Company accounts for its interest in OPMGE via the equity method of accounting. At March 31, 2020, there was no change in the investment cost of $0. At March 31, 2020, OPMGE had no material business activity as of such date. As described in Note 9, the Company maintains a Related Party receivable with OPMGE for $412,847 related to our advancing capital for certain of OPMGE’s capital expenditures that are in the Company’s best interests. The Company expects to fully recover this receivable once OPMGE operations ramp up in 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include allowance for collectible receivables, derivative liability valuations and deferred tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Income Taxes

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

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Open tax years, subject to IRS examination include 2014 – 2019, with no corporate tax returns filed for the years ending 2016 to 2018, and, 2019 - which is not due until July 15, 2020.

Net Loss Per Share, basic and diluted

Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants (8,000,000), shares convertible for debt (2,083,333) and shares outstanding but not yet issued (1,204,711) have been excluded as a common stock equivalent in the diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Derivative Instruments

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

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company entered into two convertible notes creating derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2020. See Note 6 – Other Notes and Convertible Notes Payable herein below for a detailed discussion regarding our convertible notes payable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. The Company did not have cash on deposit in excess of such limit on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $0 and $243,819 during the periods ending March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Issuance of Common Stock

The issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded by the Company at market values based on the closing price of the stock on the date of any such grant.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

(1) On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a private company, Mabert LLC, acting as Agent for various private lenders (the “Loan Agreement”) for the purpose of funding working capital and general corporate expenses up to $1,500,000, subsequently amended to a maximum of $5,000,000. Mabert LLC is a Texas limited liability company, owned by Director and stockholder, Kevin Jones, and his wife Christine Early (for each and all references herein forward, “Mabert”). Under the Loan Agreement, Mabert has loaned gross loan proceeds of $2,132,879 (excluding a debt discount of $80,888, for a net $2,051,991 book debt) through March 31, 2020. Mr. Jones, and his wife have loaned at total of $1,527,879 from inception through March 31, 2020, including $101,833 in the current quarter period ended March 2020. The Mabert loan facility is fully secured, including a Security Agreement executed between the Company and Mabert, and a UCC-1 filed with the State of Texas. For each Promissory Note loan made under the Loan Agreement, as a cost to each note, the Company agreed to issue warrants and/or stock for Common Stock valued at $0.01 per share on an initial one-time basis at 3.67:1 and subsequently on a 2:1 basis for each dollar borrowed. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued an additional 2,317,997 shares of Common Stock, including 857,737 shares issued pursuant to warrants converted as a cost to certain notes, as compared to the Company having issued 766,667 shares issued pursuant to warrants converted as a cost to certain notes in the period ending March 31, 2019. Pursuant to ACS 470, the fair value attributable to a discount on the debt is $80,888 and $107,880 for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019; this amount is amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the loans.

On April 30, 2019, the Company executed a Promissory Note under the Loan Agreement with a shareholder for $25,000, at 18% interest per annum.

No lenders requested payment for such individual promissory notes through the period ended March 2020.

(2) On November 13, 2017, the Company executed a Promissory Note with Wildcat for a lump sum payment of $100,000, plus an additional $10,000 interest, due February 2018. The Company defaulted on the note and Wildcat subsequently sued for breach of contract. The parties subsequently settled the dispute and the parties executed a new Promissory Note replacing the original Promissory Note, effective November 13, 2017, the effective date of the original note. The new Promissory Note had a maturity date of March 1, 2020 and provided for four equal payments of principal through such date, plus accrued interest at 10% upon maturity. The Company made the two payments due through December 2019, and made the final payments in March 2020, thereby extinguishing such Promissory Note as of period ended March 31, 2020. See Note 10 – Legal Matters.

(3) On December 20, 2017, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $166,667, fully payable by December 20, 2019. This loan is in default for breach of payment. By its terms, the cash interest payable increased to 18% per annum on December 20, 2018 and continues at such rate until the default is cured or is paid at term. See Note 6 below.

(4) On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and PowerUp Lending Group, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“PowerUp”), whereby PowerUp purchased, and the Company sold, a one year Convertible Promissory Note, dated January 24, 2020, payable with interest of ten percent (10%) per annum, by and between the Company and PowerUp (the “Note”), in exchange for a cash purchase price of $118,000. The Note requires the Company to hold certain amounts of its common stock in reserve in the event that the Company elects not to pay the balance within the prescribed term and/or PowerUp elects to convert such Note to common stock after six months from inception, with any remaining balance due at term. At inception of the loan, the Company fully discounted the note in the amount of $118,000. See Note 6 below for additional detail.

(5) On February 22, 2020, the Company entered into a second Purchase Agreement with PowerUp under substantially similar terms and conditions, whereby the Company sold a one year Convertible Promissory Note, dated February 11, 2020, payable with interest of ten percent (10%) per annum, in exchange for cash of $53,000. The Note requires the Company to hold certain amounts of its common stock in reserve in the event that the Company elects not to pay the balance within the prescribed term and/or PowerUp elects to convert such Note to common stock after six months from inception, with any remaining balance due at term. See Note 6 below for additional detail.

NOTE 6 – OTHER NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

Through Mabert, Mr. Jones along with his wife and his company have loaned $1,527,879, and four other shareholders have loaned the balance of the Mabert Loans. These loans are secured by the assets of the Company. A financing statement and UCC-1 have been filed according to Texas statutes. Should a default under the loan agreement occur, there could be a foreclosure or a bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Agent for these shareholders. The actions of the Company in case of default can only be determined by the shareholders. A foreclosure sale or distribution through bankruptcy could only result in the creditors receiving a pro rata payment based upon the terms of the loan agreement. Mabert did not nor will it receive compensation for its work as an agent for the lenders.

In September 2014, Wright’s employment agreement was amended to increase such annual pay to $180,000.

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

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

Other

The August 2012 acquisition agreement with Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“GIE”) also provided for the Company to: (i) issue an additional 7,500,000 shares of restricted common stock when the first portable GTL unit is built and becomes operational, and, is capable of producing 2,000 barrels of diesel or jet fuel per day, and (ii) pay a 2% royalty on all gross production sales on each unit placed in production. In connection with a settlement agreement with the Greer Family Trust (‘Trust”), the successor owner of one of the two founders and prior owners of GIE on February 6, 2018, the Company exchanged Greer’s half of the 7,500,000 shares (3,750,000 shares) to be issued in the future, Greer’s half of the 2% royalty, a termination of Greer’s then current Employment Agreement and the Trust’s waiver of any future claims against the Company for any reason, for the issuance and delivery to the Trust of three million (3,000,000) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and a convertible Promissory Note for $150,000. As a result, only 3,750,000 common shares are committed to be later issued under the original 2012 acquisition agreement.

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

Consulting Agreements

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

On September 7, 2018, Wildcat Consulting, a company controlled by a shareholder, Marshall Gleason (“Gleason”), filed suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a prior Consulting Agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees. On March 6, 2019, the parties entered into a Rule 11 Agreement settling both disputes. The Company performed in all regards under the Rule 11 Agreement and the parties executed the Settlement Agreement. Gleason signed the Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement on February 4, 2020, and both cases were dismissed by the Court on February 25, 2020. See also Note 10 – Legal Matters.

Leases

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

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

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

Each September, the Company pays $11,600 in annual maintenance fees on its Arizona BLM mining leases, under one-year lease agreements, renewable for successive one-year terms in the Company’s sole discretion in addition.

Legal Matters

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

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

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

On March 13, 2019, dissident shareholder Halden in his capacity as an individual, filed suit against the Company alleging claims arising from a confidential severance and release agreement between the parties, seeking to recover monetary damages, interest, court costs, and attorney’s fees.

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

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