In light of the risks and uncertainties
inherent in all projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K, should not be regarded
as a representation by us or any other person that any of our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating
expectations will be realized. Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K, as a result of certain risks and uncertainties
including, but not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate
and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive
environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees
in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to
release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
PART I
Except for historical information, this
report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things,
statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements
include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,”
“believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the
section entitled “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances
taking place after the date of this document.
The following discussion and analysis
of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources, should be read in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared assuming that
we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the condensed consolidated financial statements, our recurring net losses
and inability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in the condensed
consolidated financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including
information with respect to our plans, intentions and strategies for our businesses. Our actual results may differ materially
from those estimated or projected in any of these forward-looking statements.
Unless the context otherwise suggests,
“we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms in this report, as well as references to “UMED”
and “Greenway Technologies,” all refer to Greenway Technologies, Inc, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative
Energy, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise.
Company Overview
Greenway Technologies was 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 Universal Media Corporation. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and Universal Media Corporation
was the acquiring company on the basis that Universal Media Corporation’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 Dyanlyst’s
capital structure. In connection with the merger, Dynalyst issued 57,500,000 restricted common shares to the shareholders of Universal
Media Corporation for 100% of Universal Media Corporation.
On August 18, 2009, Dynalyst approved
the amendment of its articles of incorporation and filed with the Texas Secretary of State an amendment to change our name to
Universal Media Corporation and approved the increase in authorized shares to 300,000,000 shares of common A stock, par value
$0.0001 and 20,000,000 shares of common B, par value $0.0001.
On March 23, 2011, Universal Media Corporation
approved the amendment of its articles of incorporation and filed with the Texas Secretary of State an amendment to change our
name to UMED Holdings, Inc.
On June 22, 2017, Greenway Technologies,
Inc. approved the amendment of our certificate of formation and filed on June 23, 2017, with the Texas Secretary of State, to
change our name to Greenway Technologies, Inc.
GTL Technology
In August 2012, Greenway Technologies
(formerly, UMED) acquired 100% of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (“GIE”) which owns patents and trade secrets for
a proprietary technology to convert natural gas into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Based on a new, breakthrough process
called Fractional Thermal Oxidation™ (“FTO”), GIE’s G-Reformer™, combined with a Fischer-Tropsch
(“FT”) process, offers an economical and scalable method to converting natural gas to liquid fuel (the “GTL
Technology”).
On June 26, 2017, Greenway Technologies,
in conjunction with the University of Texas at Arlington (“UTA”), announced that it had successfully demonstrated
its GTL technology at the Conrad Greer Laboratory at UTA proving the viability of the GTL Technology. Greenway Technologies now
plans to commercialize the GTL Technology and is in discussions with several oil and gas companies, and other individuals and
organizations regarding joint venture funding for its first GTL plant using our proprietary processes. Should an agreement be
made, the joint venture relationship will provide funding at a level of $15M to $30M with an ongoing profit-sharing arrangement
between Greenway Technologies and the joint venture partner. Our GTL Technology is unique in that it allows for plants with a
smaller footprint, versus legacy large-scale technologies, combined with lower up-front and ongoing costs.
One of several important applications
for our GTL Technology is the harvesting of stranded natural gas. There is an abundance of stranded natural gas located throughout
the United States and the world with no practical way to transfer the gas to existing distribution systems for sale. This valuable
energy resource sits untapped, unused, or more harmfully, is vented to the atmosphere. Our GTL Technology allows this valuable
energy resource to be harvested and monetized.
Greenway Technologies’ breakthrough
patented GTL Technology offers a solution to this energy challenge. Our system allows for relatively small by comparison, scalable
plants, to be deployed at geographically dispersed locations to convert natural gas into synthetic fuel that is transportable
and can be sold directly to markets without the need for additional processing at a refinery.
Our research has been centered on developing
a production-scale FT system (“the Technology”) to accommodate the needs of smaller gas plays that are increasingly
beginning to characterize natural gas production within the United Stated and elsewhere. We are currently seeking funding of $20M
to build the initial GTL plant.
Besides the fuel products, the Company
will produce water and can produce electricity using the heat from the G-reformer.
Since March 1, 2016, we have raised
approximately $3,746,750 and have built a small-scaled prototype unit at UTA, pursuant to an SRA with UTA.
Mining Interest
In December 2010, UMED acquired the
mineral mining rights to approximately 1,440 acres of BLM placer mining claims in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000 shares
of our restricted common stock. We staked the claims in September 2011, and, since then, have maintained them and plan to establish
an exploration and development plan, when capital is available. We plan to drill test holes and test the samples on our claims
to determine the potential value of the various metals that may be located on the claims. Early indications, from samples taken
and processed, provides reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the 1,440 acres is significant,
but actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value which may be realized. Funding of $500,000 is being sought
to begin certified assaying, to determine the viability of continued development of our mining claims. However, it should be noted
that at no time has Greenway Technologies been a mining operator.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying consolidated
financial statement, the Company has liabilities in excess of assets by $2.8 million as of December 31, 2017. During the twelve
months ended December 31, 2017, we used net cash of $2,230,759 for operating activities. Our ability to continue as a going concern
is in doubt and dependent upon necessary capital and financing to fund ongoing our operations and achieving a profitable level
of operations. We do not have the financial resources and do not have any commitments for funding from unrelated parties or any
other firm agreements that will provide working capital to our business segments. We cannot give any assurance that we will locate
any funding or enter into any agreements that will provide the required operating capital. We have been depended on the sale of
equity and advances from shareholders to provide it with working capital to date.
These factors raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification
in their report dated April 4, 2018, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
While we are attempting to commence
operations and generate revenues, our cash position may not be sufficient 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 provides the opportunity for the registrant 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, there can
be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the implementation of our business
plan and generate revenues.
Risks Related to Our Proposed GTL Operations
We are affected by the risks faced by
natural gas owners who we expect will be our future customers. Our prospective customers are engaged in economically sensitive
and competitive businesses. As a result, we will be indirectly affected by all the risks facing natural gas owners, which are
beyond our control. Our results of operations will depend, in part, on the financial strength of our customers and our customers’
ability to compete effectively in the marketplace and manage their risks. Many of these risks are discussed below.
Our Legal Rights and Remedies are
Uncertain in the Event of a Default by a Joint Venture Partner.
In the event we are required to take any legal action under
a joint venture agreement, such as to repossess our equipment, we would be required to do so in the courts, and under the laws,
of the country where the equipment is located. The legal systems of foreign countries may not allow for the repossession of equipment
as quickly and as cost-effectively as in the U.S., with the result that we may face greater delays and expenses in exercising
any rights under our joint venture agreement. Consequently, losses due to a default by a lessee may be greater than otherwise
would be the case.
Competition
We believe that existing and new competitors
will continue to improve their GTL offerings and introduce new GTL methods with competitive price and performance characteristics.
We expect that we will be required to continue to invest in product development and productivity improvements to compete effectively
in our markets. Our competitors could develop a
more efficient GTL product or undertake
more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns than ours, which may adversely affect our 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:
|
·
|
Sales
and marketing efforts;
|
|
·
|
Rapid
and effective development of new, unique GTL techniques; and
|
In periods of reduced demand for our
GTL Technology, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing our prices to meet competition or maintain prices, which
would likely sacrifice market share. Sales and overall profitability could be reduced in either case. In addition, if competitors
enter our existing markets, we may be unable to compete successfully against existing or new competition.
Most of our potential competitors have
far greater resources than we have and have far greater experience in the GTL industry than we possess.
Currently, there is significant competition
for personnel and financial capital to be deployed in the oil and gas extraction industries and mining and mineral extraction
industries. Therefore, it is difficult for smaller companies such as Greenway Technologies to attract investment for its various
business activities. We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to compete for capital funds, and without adequate financial
resources management cannot assure that we will be able to compete in our business activities.
Patents and Intellectual
Property
As of December 31, 2017, GIE, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, owns United States Patents Nos. 8,574,501 B1 and 8,795,597 B2 covering its mobile GTL conversion technology for the
purpose of converting natural gas to clean synthetic fuels.
In the United States, a patent’s
term may be up to 21 years if the earliest claimed filing date is that of a provisional application. Other legal provisions may,
however, shorten or lengthen a patent’s term. In the United States, a patent’s term may, in certain cases, be lengthened
by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in examining
and granting a patent. Alternatively, a patent’s term may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over a commonly
owned patent or a patent naming a common inventor and having an earlier expiration date.
GIE also owns a provisional patent for
its G-Reformer™ front-end reforming process.
Impact of Inflation
We are affected by inflation along with
the rest of the economy. Specifically, our costs to complete our proposed GTL units could rise if specific components needed see
a rise in cost.
Adequacy of Working Capital
We will apply great efforts to raise
through equity or debt offerings what we feel is sufficient working capital for our intended business plan by various means. If
we are not able to raise additional capital, we would not be able to continue operations and our business may fail.
Disruptions in the financial markets
could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional financing. To properly deploy our GTL Technology, we will need
to construct GTL units. We currently do not have any arrangements to obtain debt or equity capital to finance the construction
of GTL units, and if we do not obtain such capital we may be unable to expand our anticipated operations. Severe disruptions in
the commercial credit markets in the recent past have resulted in a
tightening of credit markets worldwide.
Liquidity in the global credit markets was severely contracted by these market disruptions, making it difficult and costly to
obtain new lines of credit or to refinance existing debt. The effect of these disruptions was widespread and difficult to quantify.
While economic conditions have recently improved, that trend may not continue and the extent of the current economic improvement
is unknown. Any future disruptions in the commercial credit markets may impact liquidity in the global credit market as greatly,
or even more, than in recent years.
Our business and financing plan may
be dependent upon completion of future financings. If the credit environment worsens, it may be difficult to obtain any additional
financing on acceptable terms, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to complete our planned projects, and as a consequence,
our results of operations and business plans. Should general economic conditions not improve, if we are unable to obtain sufficient
funding such that completion of planned projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all
or a portion of our investment to date in our planned projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge.
Our Financial Results May Be Affected by Factors Outside
of Our Control
We will be unable to pay our obligations
in the normal course of business or service our debt in a timely manner throughout 2018 without raising additional debt or equity
capital. There can be no assurance that additional debt or equity capital will be raised.
Greenway Technologies is currently evaluating
strategic alternatives that include the following: (i) raising of capital, or (ii) issuance of debt instruments. This process
is ongoing and can be lengthy and has inherent costs. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives
will result in any specific action to alleviate our 12 month working capital needs or result in any other transaction.
We currently have a need of approximately
$150,000 per month to sustain operations and to pay UTA for the SRAs until our first GTL unit is completed and deployed.
Our future operating results may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Our anticipated expense
levels are based, in part, on our estimates of future revenues and may vary from projections. We may be unable to adjust spending
rapidly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenues shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation
to our planned
expenditures would materially and adversely
affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Further, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our
operating results are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future performance.
Key Personnel
Our future financial success depends
to a large degree upon the personal efforts of our key personnel, D. Patrick Six, our chairman, president, chief financial officer,
and director, Raymond Wright, our corporate secretary officer, and director, and president of GIE, our subsidiary, and Thomas
Phillips, the vice president of operations of GIE, all of whom will play a major role in securing the services of those persons
who can develop our business strategy upon receipt of sufficient funds to pay for such services either from success through receipt
of funds from earnings, borrowing or sales of our securities. Greenway Technologies has only one employee, D. Patrick Six, at
the date of this report. GIE has two employees, Raymond Wright and Thomas Phillips, at the date of this report. We do not have
any other employees at this time. In the future, when we need other persons for aspects of our GTL work and other functions, we
will hire persons under service agreements as consultants, part-time and full-time employees as necessary. While we intend to
employ additional personnel in order to minimize the critical dependency upon any one person, there can be no assurance that we
will be successful in attracting and retaining the persons needed. We do not have any arrangements for the hiring of any persons
at this time. We do not anticipate any difficulty in securing the services of required personnel.
Consultants
We plan to use outside consultants to
perform the engineering and design work on the GTL Technology, until such time as capital funds are available to hire in-house
staff. In that regard we have Sponsored Research Agreements with UTA
for catalyst and heat exchange research
and have contracted with UTA to build a small-scale GTL unit at the university. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Consulting Agreements.”
Adequacy of Working Capital
We hope to generate sufficient capital
to fund our business plan through investments in our securities, revenues from operations, or borrowings. See Item 7. “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financing Activities.” If we are not able
to raise additional capital as described above, we would not be able to continue and our business would fail. As of the date of
this report, we do not have any commitments for financing.

Risks Relating to Our Business
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 rapidly 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 having had a relatively limited time period in which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older
companies with longer operating histories.
We need additional financing to implement our business
plan.
To undertake the full commercialization
program for our GTL Technology in a manner that not only introduces GTL Technology across the United States, but also allows Greenway
Technology to move aggressively and decisively into the marketplace to establish our GTL Technology, we will need additional financing.
We will need substantial additional funds to:
|
·
|
Construct
our first full-scale 125 barrel per day GTL unit, currently estimated at $15 million;
|
|
·
|
File,
prosecute, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights; and
|
|
·
|
Produce
and market our GTL units.
|
We may not be able to secure future
funding on favorable terms or at all. If additional funding is not obtained, we will need to reduce, defer or cancel the construction
of our full-scale GTL unit, planned initiatives, or overhead expenditures to the extent necessary. The failure to fund our full-scale
GTL unit could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing could result in additional dilution to our shareholders
and the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations that could result in operating and financing
covenants that would restrict our future operations.
Our GTL Technology is subject to the changing applicable
laws and regulations.
Our business is particularly subject
to changing federal and state laws and regulations with respect to the oil and gas and mining industry. Our success depends in
part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes, and we may not respond in a timely or commercially appropriate
manner to such changes.
We may encounter substantial competition in our business
and failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.
We believe that existing and new competitors
will continue to improve their GTL offerings and introduce new GTL methods with competitive price and performance characteristics.
We expect that we will be required to continue to invest in product development and productivity improvements to compete effectively
in our markets. Our competitors could develop a more efficient GTL product or undertake more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns
than ours, which may adversely affect our 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:
|
·
|
Sales
and marketing efforts;
|
|
·
|
Rapid
and effective development of new, unique GTL techniques; and
|
In periods of reduced demand for our
GTL Technology, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing our prices to meet competition or maintain prices, which
would likely sacrifice market share. Sales and overall profitability could be reduced in either case. In addition, if competitors
enter our existing markets, we may be unable to compete successfully against existing or new competition.
Establishing our revenues and achieving profitability
will depend on our ability to develop and commercialize our GTL Technology.
Much of our ability to establish revenues
and to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations will depend on the successful introduction of our GTL Technology.
Our prospective customers will not use our GTL Technology unless they determine that the benefits provided by our GTL Technology
are greater than those available from competing service providers. Even if the advantage from our GTL Technology is established,
prospective customers may elect not to use our GTL Technology for a variety of reasons.
We may be required to undertake time-consuming
and costly development activities and seek regulatory clearance or approval for new GTL Technology. The completion of the development
and commercialization of our GTL Technology remains subject to all of the risks associated with the commercialization of a GTL
Technology based on innovative technologies, including unanticipated technical or other problems, manufacturing difficulties and
the possible insufficiency of the funds allocated for the completion of such development.
We rely on the services of certain key personnel.
Our business relies on the efforts and
talents of our management team. The loss of their services could adversely affect the operations of our business and could have
a very negative impact on our ability to fulfill on our business plan.
We may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel
to support our growth and if we are unable to retain or hire such personnel in the future, our ability to improve our GTL Technology
and implement our business objectives could be adversely affected.
If one or more of our senior
executives or other key personnel 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 and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially
and adversely affected. Competition for senior management and senior personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is
very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or senior personnel or attract and retain
high-quality senior executives or senior personnel in the future. Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future
growth and financial condition.
We may have difficulty in attracting and retaining management
and outside independent directors to our board of directors as a result of their concerns relating to their increased personal
exposure to lawsuits and shareholder claims by virtue of holding these 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 which 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 pay on a
timely basis the costs incurred in defending such claims. We currently carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has recently become much more expensive and difficult to obtain. If we
are unable to continue or provide directors’ and officers’ 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 proprietary 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 in question relied upon by us in the conduct of our business may not be available to us on reasonable
terms, if at all.
Operating hazards and insurance.
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 should
occur, 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.
We will carry a comprehensive general
liability umbrella policy and a pollution liability policy and will provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage to
employees in all states in which we operate. While we believe these policies are customary in the industry, they do not provide
complete coverage against all operating risks. In addition, our insurance may not cover penalties or fines that may be assessed
by a governmental authority. A loss not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover every claim made against us or may
not be commercially available for purchase in the future.
Our future revenues are unpredictable
and our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.
Since we were formed on March 13, 2002,
we only have a limited operating history. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty whether our GTL Technology will generate
revenue or the amount of revenue to be generated by our GTL Technology. In addition, we cannot predict the consistency of our
quarterly operating results. Factors which may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter
include:
|
·
|
Our
ability to attract new and repeat customers;
|
|
·
|
Our
ability to keep current with the evolving requirements of our target market;
|
|
·
|
Our
ability to protect our proprietary GTL Technology;
|
|
·
|
The
ability of our competitors to offer new or enhanced GTL services; and
|
|
·
|
Unanticipated
delays or cost increases with respect to research and development.
|
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.
We may fail to establish and maintain strategic relationships.
We believe that the establishment of
strategic partnerships will greatly benefit the growth of our business, and the deployment of our GTL Technology, and we intend
to seek out and enter into strategic alliances. We may not be able to enter into these strategic partnerships on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. Even if we enter into strategic alliances, our partners may not attract significant numbers of customers
or otherwise prove advantageous to our business. Our inability to enter into new relationships or strategic alliances could have
a material and adverse effect on our business.
Legislative actions and potential new accounting pronouncements
are likely to impact our future financial position and results of operations.
There have been regulatory changes,
and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings, which will have an impact on our
future financial position and results of operations. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses
we report under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and adversely affect our operating results.
Risks Relating to Our Mining Properties
As we discussed above, although we still
own our mining properties, we do not currently conduct operations. However, there are still some risks associated with our mining
properties, including those risks described below.
We have had no revenue to date from our mining properties,
which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
Since acquiring our mining properties
in December 10, we have not conducted any mining operations and have not generated any revenues. We do not have any operating
history as a mining company upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects.
Our mining properties do not have any
known reserves.
None of the properties in which we have
an interest have any known reserves. To date, we have engaged in only limited preliminary exploration activities on the properties.
Accordingly, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration efforts.
There are uncertainties as to title
matters in the mining industry. Any defects in such title could cause us to lose our rights in mineral properties and jeopardize
our business operations.
Our mineral properties consist of mineral
rights on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), a department of the United States Government. Our mining properties in
the United States are mining claims located on lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), to
which we have only mining rights to recover minerals. The mining claims are renewable annual and if not paid revert back to the
BLM. These uncertainties relate to such things as sufficiency of mineral discovery, proper location and posting and marking of
boundaries, and possible conflicts with other claims not determinable from descriptions of record. We believe a substantial portion
of all mineral exploration, development and mining in the United States now occurs on unpatented mining claims, and this uncertainty
is inherent in the mining industry.
The present status of our mining claims
located on BLM lands allows us the right to mine and remove valuable minerals, such as precious and base metals, from the claims
conditioned upon applicable environmental reviews and permitting programs. We also are generally allowed to use the surface of
the land solely for purposes related to mining and processing the mineral-bearing ores. However, legal ownership of the land remains
with the United States. We remain at risk that the mining claims may be forfeited either to the United States due to failure to
comply with statutory requirements. Prior to 1994, a mining claim locator who was able to prove the discovery of valuable, locatable
minerals on a mining claim, and to meet all other applicable federal and state requirements and procedures pertaining to the location
and maintenance of federal unpatented mining claims, had the right to prosecute a patent application to secure fee title to the
mining claim from the Federal government. The right to pursue a patent, however, has been subject to a moratorium since October
1994, through federal legislation restricting the BLM from accepting any new mineral patent applications. There may be challenges
to title to the mineral properties in which we hold a material interest. If there are title defects with respect to any properties,
we might be required to compensate other persons or perhaps reduce our interest in the affected property. Also, in any such case,
the investigation and resolution of title issues would divert our management’s time from ongoing production, exploration
and development programs.
We are required to share our profits
derived from properties in which we do not own 100% fee title.
Under BLM law, we are required to pay
the BLM 10% of revenues derived from sales of minerals from the leased property.
Risks Relating to Our Stock
Voting control of our shares is possessed
by our management team. Additionally, this concentration of ownership could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of Greenway
Technologies that might otherwise result in your receiving a premium over the market price for your shares.
D. Patrick Six, Raymond Wright, Craig
Takacs, Kevin Jones, Ransom Jones, Kent Harer, and Thomas Phillips, the management team of Greenway Technologies, and its subsidiary,
GIE, own approximately 20.59% of our outstanding shares. As a result, our management team has the power to significantly influence
all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval and to control our management and affairs, including extraordinary transactions
such as mergers and other changes of corporate control. Additionally, this concentration of voting power could discourage or prevent
a potential takeover of Greenway Technologies that might otherwise result in your receiving a premium over the market price for
your shares. See “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.”
We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable
to raise necessary 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. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding to construct our first
full-scale GTL unit, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our GTL Technology and our business will most likely
fail. We do not have any commitments for financing. To 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, 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
share price.
Even though our shares are publicly traded, an investor’s
shares may not be “free-trading.”
Investors should understand that their
shares of our common stock are not “free-trading” merely because Greenway Technologies is a publicly-traded company.
In order for the shares to become “free-trading,” the shares must be registered, or entitled to an exemption from
registration under applicable law.
The market price for our common stock will most likely
continue to be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float,
limited operating history and lack of net revenues which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which
you purchased our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.
The market for our common stock is characterized
by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more
volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively
small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction.
The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stock
are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without
adverse impact on its share price.
Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky”
investment due to our lack of current revenues. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under
the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell
their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.
An investor may be unable to sell his common stock at
or above his purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to the investor.
The following factors may add to the
volatility in the price of our common stock: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; government
regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments; and
additions or departures of our 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 or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing
market price.
We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable
to raise necessary additional capital, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely
affected.
We need to secure adequate funding.
We hope to be able to fund our business through the revenues from operations. If our revenues are insufficient, we will need to
raise the necessary capital through equity or debt offerings, 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 our common
stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our shareholders. If we borrow more 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 our operations and our business would fail.
Volatility in our share price may subject Greenway Technologies
to securities litigation.
There is only a limited current market
for our shares. In the future, the market for our shares will likely be characterized by significant price volatility when compared
to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our 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. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result
in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
Our issuance of additional common stock in exchange for
services or to repay debt would dilute a shareholder’s proportionate ownership and voting rights and could have a negative
impact on the market price of our common stock.
Our board of directors may generally
issue shares of common stock to pay for debt or services, without further approval by our shareholders based upon such factors
as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will issue additional securities to pay for services
and reduce debt in the future.
Absence of dividends.
We have never paid or declared any dividends
on our common stock. Likewise, we do not anticipate paying, in the near future, dividends or distributions on our common stock
or our common stock which may be sold in the future. Any dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors
and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, our financial requirements for future operations and growth, and other facts
as we may then deem appropriate.
Our directors have the right to authorize the issuance
of additional shares of our common stock.
Our directors, within the limitations
and restrictions contained in our certificate of formation and without further action by our shareholders, have the authority
to issue shares of common stock from time to time. Should we issue additional shares of our common stock at a later time, each
shareholder’s ownership interest in our stock would be proportionally reduced. No shareholder will have any preemptive right
to acquire additional shares of our common stock, or any of our other securities.
If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements,
we could be removed from the OTCQB, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of
shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTCQB must
be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange
Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements,
we could be removed from the OTCQB.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock”
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the trading market in our common stock will be limited, which would make
transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the investment value of our stock.
The term “penny stock” generally
refers to a security issued by a very small company that trades at less than $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are quoted
over-the-counter, such as on the OTCPK or OTCQB which are owned by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (our shares are traded on the OTCQB);
penny stocks may, however, also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, the definition
of penny stock can include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market.
Penny stocks may trade infrequently,
which means that it may be difficult to sell penny stock shares once you own them. Moreover, because it may be difficult to find
quotations for certain penny stocks, they may be difficult, or even impossible, to accurately price. For these, and other reasons,
penny stocks are generally considered speculative investments. Consequently, investors in penny stocks should be prepared for
the possibility that they may lose their whole investment (or an amount in excess of their investment if they purchased penny
stocks on margin).
Because of the speculative nature of
penny stocks, 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 thereunder. These SEC rules provide, among other things, that a broker-dealer
must (1) approve the customer for the specific penny stock transaction and receive from the customer a written agreement to the
transaction; (2) furnish the customer a disclosure document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks; (3) disclose to
the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock; and (4) 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.
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.
|
Our 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 market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations
to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices
could increase the volatility of our share price.

Left Blank
Our principal office is at 8851 Camp
Bowie Boulevard West, Suite 240, Fort Worth, Texas 76116, where we lease approximately 1,800 square feet of office space, at a
rate of $2,417 per month. GIE rents approximately 600 square feet of office space at 1511 North Cooper St., Suite 207, Arlington,
Texas 76011, at a rate of $1,369 per month. We believe that all of our facilities are adequate for at least the next 12 months.
We expect that we could locate other suitable facilities at comparable rates, should we need more space.
Greenway Technologies has staked 72
placer mining claims in Mohave County, Arizona on BLM land (BLM file no. AMC 403533) covering approximately 1,440 acres in Mohave
County southeast of Kingman, Arizona.
A description of our mining properties
is included in “Item 1. Business” and is incorporated herein by reference. We believe that we have satisfactory title
to our mining properties, 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 mining properties are adequate and suitable for the conduct
of a mining business in the future.
A patented mining claim is one which
the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights. An unpatented
mining claim is one which 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.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.
|
The Company has been 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 loan. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution will have an adverse
impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
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 we sold our shares in Mamaki to HBI for $700,000 (along with the assumption of certain debt). 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, we
executed a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with the Defendants. However, the Defendants defaulted in their payment obligations
under Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement. Due to the bankruptcy proceedings involving Curtis Borman, all action in this matter
has been stayed.
On September 14, 2017, in The Third
Judicial District Court of Salt Lake City, Utah, Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation, filed suit against Greenway Technologies,
Inc. (F.K.A. UMED Holdings, Inc.) under Case No. 170905756. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
between Tonaquint and Greenway Technologies, Tonaquint acquired a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), issued
by UMED, and a Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The suit asserts that the Warrant allegedly
provided Tonaquint with the right to purchase at any time on or after September 18, 2014, a number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of UMED's common stock equal to $47,400 divided by the Market Price (as defined in the Note, as of September 18, 2014),
as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant. As of the date of this report,
the parties have agreed to settle the dispute by a dismissal of this action with prejudice in return for a mutual release of claims
and a one-time issuance from Greenway Technologies of 1,600,000 shares of our common stock subject to a weekly leak out restriction
equal to the greater of $10,000.00 and 8% of the weekly trading volume. Further, the issuance of stock will be done in connection
with a legal opinion pursuant to Rule 144.
As of the date of this report, we are
not aware of any other asserted or unasserted claims. Management will seek to minimize further disputes but recognizes the inevitability
of legal action in today’s business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

The members of
our board of directors are subject to change from time to time by the vote of the shareholders at special or annual meetings to
elect directors. Our current board of directors consists of three directors, who have expertise in the business of Greenway Technologies.
The 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 in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, will hold office for the
term for which elected and 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, 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, 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 or series entitled to elect such director or directors. Officers are elected annually by the directors. Ransom Jones and
Kevin Jones are brother. Otherwise, there are no other family relationships among our directors and officers.
We may employ additional
management personnel, as our board of directors deems necessary. Greenway Technologies has not identified or reached an agreement
or understanding with any other individuals to serve in management positions but does not anticipate any problem in employing
qualified staff.
A description of
the business experience for each of the directors and executive officers of Greenway Technologies is set forth below.
D. Patrick Six
was elected a director on March 7, 2016 and president and chief financial officer on April 24, 2017. Mr. Six has served as a vice-president
of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, since 2013. He has also provided consulting serves to the registrant,
since May 2011. He has been in the oil and gas industry for 37 years as an independent operator of oil and gas properties both
as an owner and consultant. He received a BBA in marketing from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
Raymond Wright was
elected a director on March 7, 2016. Mr. Wright has served as the president of Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. since August 2012.
Mr. Wright was a co-founder of DFW Genesis in 2009, where he began working on the GTL process and worked through 2012, when he
and Conrad Greer formed Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. to continue working on the GTL process. Previously, Mr. Wright worked
with Dallas based Texas Instruments (TI) operations where he managed and opened up new markets for TI in England. He developed
and built a materials manufacturing facility for TI’s European operation and introduced TI’s light sensor technology
in Europe.
Ransom Jones
was appointed interim chief executive officer on January 14, 2016, director on March 7, 2016, and president on August 4, 2016.
Mr. Jones was replaced as president by D. Patrick Six on April 24, 2017. Mr. Jones has over 40 years of diverse business experience.
He is a retired partner of KPMG Peat Marwick and former chief financial officer of two publicly traded corporations, Western Preferred
Corporation and El Paso Refining, Inc. He has also served as an officer of some of the largest and most prestigious global financial
institutions including Goldman Sachs, Citicorp, ABN-AMRO Bank and AIG. After resigning from AIG, Mr. Jones created a very successful
small business for life insurance lending. He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1971 with a BBA, Accounting.
Craig Takacs has
served a director of Greenway Technologies since its incorporation in March 2002. Mr. Takacs served as president and chief executive
officer of our predecessor, Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation, from March 2002 until his resignation in August 2009. Prior to
Dynalyst, Mr. Takacs worked for Institutional Capital Management, where he served as the firm’s technology analyst. Mr.
Takacs received his BBA in Business Management in 1984 from Texas A&M University.
Kevin Jones was
elected a director on March 7, 2016. Mr. Jones founded All Commercial Floors in 1999 and is responsible for its overall operation.
Under his leadership ACF has grown from a two-person business in the corner of his garage to one of the largest and, we feel,
one of the most respected commercial flooring companies in the country with offices throughout the United States, and with annual
sales exceeding $40 million. Mr. Jones attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
Kent J. Harer was
elected a director on February 3, 2017. Since 1996, he has served as Senior Account Manager for Air Liquide Industries US LP,
an affiliate of Air Liquide, S.A., a large French multinational industrial gas company.
Other Significant Personnel
In addition to
the officers and directors described above, on October 31, 2017, effective as of September 18, 2017, Thomas Phillips was elected
as Vice President of Operations for Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
registrant.
There are no material
plans, contracts or arrangements (whether or not written) with respect to Mr. Phillips’ election as Vice President of Operations
for Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. Any such plans, contracts or arrangements, if any, will be worked out at a later date.
Mr. Phillips, age
50, holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University. In addition, Mr. Phillips has been designated
a Distinguished Alumnus of Texas A&M University.
Mr. Phillips is
a highly experienced and accomplished deal making executive with a very successful acquisition and divestiture track record. He
has developed and executed strategies for profitable business plans across a wide range of industries (
i.e.
, banking, finance,
private equity, technology, real estate, oil and gas). After starting his career with Lone Star Gas building and operating pipelines
and natural gas processing plants, Mr. Phillips joined JP Morgan FCS/Financial Computer Software (a spinoff of Highland Capital
Management), where he built and managed a sales team that allowed the company to grow revenues from $2.5 MM annually to over $85
MM. Soon after the company was purchased, Mr. Phillips was asked to join senior management at BCR Environmental/NuTerra Management
LLC, a municipal wastewater treatment technology company and related solutions provider. A transaction of roughly $11 million
was completed involving a shift in the ownership of the firm to provide liquidity and expansion capital. Early in 2017, Mr. Phillips
was brought aboard to guide the registrant’s operations with Raymond Wright, the president of Greenway Innovative Energy,
Inc. Presently, Mr. Phillips is working with the Conrad Greer Lab professors at the University of Texas at Arlington to optimize
the registrant’s GTL process and move the registrant from a research and developmental stage to a commercial production
stage.
Committees of the Board
We do not currently
have any committees of our board of directors. However, we do plan to adopt various committees in the near future.
The responsibilities
of the committees to be adopted in the future are currently are fulfilled by our board of directors and all of our directors participate
in such responsibilities, only two of whom are “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s
listing standards described below, as our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain other qualified
independent board members. Since we do not have any committees, our entire board of directors participates in all of the considerations
with respect to our audit, compensation and nomination deliberations.
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s
listing standards defines an “independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the
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. 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 twelve 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 company; or (iii)
benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation. Provided,
however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph, audit committee
members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Rule 4350(d).
|
|
·
|
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.
|
We hope to add more
qualified independent members of our board of directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial
stability.
Audit Committee
The entire board
of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board when performing
the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board approves the selection of our independent
accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition,
the board 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, D. Patrick Six, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and Ransom Jones, one of our directors,
are considered to be our experts in financial and accounting matters.
Nomination Committee
Our size and the
size of our board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee. When evaluating director nominees, our directors
consider the following factors:
|
·
|
The
appropriate size of our board of directors;
|
|
·
|
Our
needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our 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

The
desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh
perspective provided by new board members.
|
Our goal is to assemble a board that
brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing
so, the board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Other than the foregoing,
there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the board may also consider such other factors as it may
deem are in our best interests as well as our shareholders. In addition, the board identifies nominees by first evaluating the
current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of the board 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 the board
does not wish to continue in service or if the board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies
the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the board are polled for
suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The board 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. The board does not typically consider shareholder
nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership
Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file. Based solely on the reports received by us, the transaction report of Company transactions supplied by our transfer
agent and our shareholders list as of December 31, 2017, to the best of our knowledge all required directors, officers and greater
than 9.99% percent shareholders complied with applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
Communication with Directors
Shareholders and
other interested parties may contact any of our directors by writing to them at Greenway Technologies, Inc. at 8851 Camp Bowie
West, Suite 240, Fort Worth, Texas 76116, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Our board has approved
a process for handling letters received by us and addressed to any of our directors. Under that process, one of our officers will
review all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the directors a summary of all such correspondence, together with copies
of all such correspondence that, in the opinion of such officer, deal with functions of the board or committees thereof or that
he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us
that are addressed to members of the board and request copies of such correspondence.
Conflicts of Interest
With respect to transactions involving
real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures which require that:
|
·
|
The
fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed
or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization
or approval;
|
|
·
|
The
transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors; and
|
|
·
|
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

compliance officer, any material information of which the officer becomes aware that
affects the disclosures made by us in our public filings and assist the audit committee
or disclosure compliance officer in fulfilling its responsibilities for full, fair, accurate,
timely and understandable disclosure in all periodic reports required to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
|

Each
officer shall promptly notify our general counsel, if any, or the president or chief
executive officer as well as the audit committee of any information he may have concerning
any violation of our Code of Business Conduct or our Code of Ethics, including any actual
or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, involving
any management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting,
disclosures or internal controls.

agents.
|
|
·
|
Any
waiver of this Code of Ethics for any officer must be approved, if at all, in advance
by a majority of the independent directors serving on our board of directors. Any such
waivers granted will be publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable rules, regulations
and listing standards.
|
We have posted a copy of our Code of
Ethics on our website. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Ethics. Any such request
should be directed to our corporate secretary at the address listed below in the next paragraph. The information contained in

The accompanying notes are an integral part
of these financial statements
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Nature of Operations
Greenway Technologies, Inc. ("Greenway”
or the "Company") was organized on March 13, 2002 under the laws of the State of Texas as Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation. On
August 18, 2009, in connection with a merger with Universal Media Corporation, a privately held Nevada company, the Company changed
its name to Universal Media Corporation ("UMC"). The company changed its name to Greenway Technologies, Inc.
on March 23, 2011.
The Company’s mission is to operate as a holding company
through the acquisition of businesses as wholly-owned subsidiaries that meet some key requirements: (1) solid management that
will not have to be replaced in the near future (2) the ability to grow with steady growth to follow and (3) an emphasis on emerging
core industry markets, such as energy and metals. It is the Company’s intention to add experienced personnel
and select strategic partners to manage and operate the acquired business units.
In September 2010, the Company acquired 1,440 acres of placer
mining claims on Bureau of Land Management land in Mohave County, Arizona. Due to the Company not producing any revenues from
its BLM mining leases since its acquisition of the leases, achieving a position of producing cash flow levels to fund the development
of its BLM mining leases in December 2010 and not having current resources for an appraisal, we recognized an impairment charge
of $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014.
In August 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Greenway Innovative
Energy, Inc. (sometimes, “GIE”) which owns patents and trade secrets for a proprietary process and related technology
to convert natural gas into synthesis gas (syngas). Syngas is an important intermediate gas used by industry in the production
of ammonia, methane, liquid fuels, and other downstream products. The Company’s unique process is called Fractional Thermal
Oxidation™ (FTO). When combined with Greenway Technologies’ Fischer-Tropsch (FT) system, we offer a new economical,
relatively small scale (125 to 2,475 bbls/day) method of converting gas-to-liquids (GTL) that can be located in field locations
where needed.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the financial statements of Greenway and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company entered into an agreement with Jet
Regulators at December to return its ownership interest for the return of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern Uncertainties
The 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. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company sustained a loss
of approximately $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and has a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.7 million
and liabilities in excess of assets of approximately $2.8 at December 31, 2017. 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. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern
for the next twelve months.
The Company is in discussions with
several oil and gas companies and other organizations regarding joint venture funding for its first gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant
using the Company’s unique GTL system. Should an agreement be made, the joint venture relationship will provide funding
at a level of $20M with an ongoing profit-sharing arrangement between the Company and the partner organizations and/or individuals
with an economic profile previously not achievable in the GTL industry segment. While there are no assurances that financing for
the first plant will be obtained on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, the failure to obtain the necessary working capital
may cause the Company to move in one or more alternate directions to shepherd this revolutionary GTL system into production. Several
alternate paths are under consideration in conjunction with the joint venture/profit sharing approach.
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustment 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 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.
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 guidance permits two methods
of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The company will
adopt the guidance on January 1, 2018 and apply the cumulative catch-up transition method. The transition adjustment to be recorded
to stockholders’ equity upon adoption of the new standard is not expected to be material.
The Company has not,
to date, generated any revenues.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ materially from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three-months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash
equivalents at December 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016.
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 – 2017.
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 outstanding for the period.
Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants (12,810,625) 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.
See Note 7 below for discussion regarding convertible notes
payable and warrants.
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.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued,
the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount (“OID”). An OID is the difference
between the original cash proceeds and the amount of the note upon maturity. The Note is originally recorded for the total amount
payable. The OID is amortized into interest expense pro-rata over the term of the Note.
In instances where the determination
of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value
measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s
notes recorded at fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii)
contractual prices.
The carrying amounts of financial assets
and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate
their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table represents the Company’s assets
and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2017 and 2016:

Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
718-10,
Compensation
(“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non-employees
be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
At December 31, 2017, 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.
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 $867,052 and $967,348 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Issuance of Common Stock
The issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded
by the Company at market values.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
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 guidance permits two methods
of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The company will
adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019 and apply the cumulative catch-up transition method. The transition adjustment to be recorded
to stockholders’ equity upon adoption of the new standard is not expected to be material.
Management does not believe that any
other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

was $12,784,855 and $2,018,074 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company has recorded a
100% valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the loss from operations, interest expense, interest income and
other income subsequent to the change in ownership, which amounted to $23,623,602 and $14,476,205 at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.
Utilization of the
Company’s net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation if the Company experiences a 50% change in
ownership, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an ownership change would substantially
increase the possibility of net operating losses expiring before complete utilization.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical taxable income including available net operating
loss carry forwards to offset taxable income, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.

Legal
The Company has been 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 loan. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution will have an adverse
impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
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 we sold our shares in Mamaki to HBI for $700,000 (along with the assumption of certain debt). 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, we
executed a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with the Defendants. However, the Defendants defaulted in their payment obligations
under Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement. Due to the bankruptcy proceedings involving Curtis Borman, all action in this matter
has been stayed.
On September 14, 2017, in The Third
Judicial District Court of Salt Lake City, Utah, Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation, filed suit against Greenway Technologies,
Inc. (F.K.A. UMED Holdings, Inc.) under Case No. 170905756. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
between Tonaquint and the Company, as buyer, and UMED, as seller, Tonaquint acquired a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"),
issued by UMED, and a Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The suit asserts that the Warrant
allegedly provided Tonaquint with the right to purchase at any time on or after September 18, 2014, a number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of UMED's common stock equal to $47,400 divided by the Market Price (as defined in the Note, as of September
18, 2014), as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant. As of the date
of this report, the parties have agreed to settle the dispute by a dismissal of this action with prejudice in return for a mutual
release of claims and a one-time issuance from Greenway Technologies of 1,600,000 shares of our common stock subject to a weekly
leak out restriction equal to the greater of $10,000.00 and 8% of the weekly trading volume. Further, the issuance of stock will
be done in connection with a legal opinion pursuant to Rule 144.
