Corporate History

 

Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp. (formerly known as Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 26, 2007. On November 20, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Green EnviroTech Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, and Green EnviroTech Corp. (“Green EnviroTech”), a plastics recovery, separation, cleaning, and recycling company. Green EnviroTech is a Nevada corporation formed on October 6, 2008, under the name EnviroPlastics Corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on November 20, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), Green EnviroTech Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Green EnviroTech, resulting in Green EnviroTech becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of us (the “Merger”). The acquisition of Green EnviroTech is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of Green EnviroTech became our business. Effective March 27, 2013, we completed a 1 for 100 reverse split of our common stock. Share amounts in this report have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse split.

 

During 2013, we entered into an agreement with Black Lion Oil Limited (“Black Lion”) whose primary focus is on emerging energy technology with broad applications. Under the agreement, we granted to Black Lion exclusive rights to the waste to oil process in specific territories outside of the United States. In return Black Lion paid $100,000 in cash to us as a fee. The original agreement provided for us to receive a 10% royalty which was later amended to receive 5% on gross revenues with any plant associated with Black Lion. We used the fee for working capital.

Our Business

 

Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp. (GETH) is in the business of transforming unusable scrap tires into valuable end products - carbon black, oil and steel. We have spent 5 years building our team, perfecting our proprietary technology solution and developing our unique business model.

 

We have developed a unique fast growth business model to underpin our drive to become market leader by 2023. This business model can be used for other technologies and we will be vigilant in our monitoring of the technological landscape to find and acquire technologies that will enhance our core business.

 

We will look to establish processing plant locations in economically disadvantaged areas so as to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the local communities where we operate as we strive to achieve our purpose.

 

We originally focused on recycling plastic waste. The GETH team realized that recycling tires offered better commercial returns and, combined with an adverse change in the market conditions for recycling plastics, decided to focus on processing scrap tires. Since that time, GETH has invested in perfecting a proprietary scrap tire processing solution that would deliver good financial returns and could be deployed in the developed world.

 

GETH’s differentiator is a combination of its solution – the proprietary integration of proven commercial components with a state of the art control scheme (includes 24/7 real time performance monitoring of equipment); its unique business model, and its ability to manage the ecosystem - feedstock contracts, offtake agreements, sites, permits etc. that are required for the successful completion of a project.

 

Key Achievements to date

 

Over the last years, the GETH team has achieved the following:

 

  Ready to deploy GEN 1 End of Life Tire Processing Solution with an independent engineering certification.
     
  Secured two strategic partners as EPC contractors – BHP Engineering & Construction LLC and Schneider Electric – they will construct and start GETH Processing Plants; and help to ensure reliable uptime of GETH Processing Operations
     
  Secured end product offtake agreements for Oil and for Carbon Black
     
  Have 2 projects ready for funding in USA:

 

  1. Ohio Operation comprising: Carbon Finishing Plant
     
  2. Tire Processing Plant with 100 tons per processing capacity to be located in Maryland: partnership with scrap tire collector – feedstock and site secured, undergoing final stage of permitting process

 

  Finalizing agreement with an offshore partner to develop, finance, build and operate GEN 1 End of Life Tire Processing Plants around the world. Revenues from overseas projects are not included in the current version of the company financials

The global environmental issue of End of Life Tires

 

The human race discards approximately one billion scrap tires each year: every twelve months we add another billion to the billions of tires already found in landfills, mono fills and tire dumps. Tire dumps are ideal habitats for rats, mosquitos, and poisonous snakes and often catch fire.

 

The challenge of End of Life Tires in the USA

 

Over 300 million scrap tires are discarded every year in the US; that is the equivalent of 800,000 scrap tires per day, every day. To provide an illustration of the scale of the problem, 300 million scrap tires would fill the Rose Bowl Football Stadium in Pasadena, which has a capacity to seat 92,000 people, more than 110 times.

 

This large annual volume adds to the billions of tires already in landfills, mono fills or dumps. Landfill space in the US is at a premium and China has recently erected their “green wall” and will not accept scrap tires from the US. In addition, end product markets for recycled tires are shrinking in volume. There is a significant need to find a viable financial, environmental and technological solution; and this presents a massive opportunity for GETH.

 

Tire Collectors (covered under Primary SIC Code 5093 and Primary NAICS Code 423930) typically deliver low profit margins – most of their revenue is generated from tipping fees and grading scrap tires for potential resale. The remaining tires are shredded with the majority being sent to landfill – a part of the Tire Collectors operation that loses money. The GETH solution will turbocharge their earnings potential by adding the additional profit from processing the tires that are currently sent to landfill at a cost to the Tire Collector.

 

The introduction of car sharing and autonomous vehicles, while likely to reduce the total volume of cars sold will actually keep the volume of scrap tires stable as tire wear will increase with the increase in intensity of use of the fewer cars.

 

Strategy

 

The key to success in the scrap tire processing market is to reach scale quickly. Our 4 phase step by step strategy supported by our unique business model – modular build; copy exact; hub and spoke – will enable GETH to achieve its goals with manageable risks.

 

Goals of GETH End of Life Tire Strategic Plan, 2019 - 2025

 

  Plan to be processing 750,000 tons of scrap tires (25% of US annual scrap tire production)

 

  Forecast to generate >$350 Million of annual revenue with EBITDA of 40%-50%
  Forecast to produce 260,000 tons of carbon black (10% of US annual consumption)
  Forecast to produce 2,300,000 barrels of crude oil (0.5% of US annual consumption)
  Forecast to reduce CO emissions in the US by 750,000 tons per year
  Forecast to create 500 direct jobs, often in economically deprived areas of the US

 

Highlights of the GETH Strategy & Plan

 

  We expect to acquire the financing with the capacity to fund all of the CAPEX required in the first three phases of our strategy.
     
  Phase 2 of the strategy is aimed at increasing revenues to 12 Million per year with an EBITDA of 37%.
     
  EBITDA increases from 21% in Phase 1 to >50% in Phase 4 due to scaling up operations.
     
  Costs to produce GETH Carbon Black and Oil are expected to be between 32% to 56% lower than traditional methods; with the added benefit of minimum emissions.

These Tire Processing Lines when operating at full capacity in mid-2021 will provide additional feedstock for the Carbon Finishing Plant.

 

Phase 3, 2021and 2022: Build first Tire Processing Plants and additional Carbon Finishing Lines

 

GETH plans to draw an additional $60 - $70 Million to build a 100 tons per day Tire Processing Plants – in Maryland

 

Phase 4, 2022 to 2025: Rapid expansion of Tire Processing Plants and Carbon Finishing Plant

 

GETH plans to build an additional 720,000 tons of scrap tire processing capacity in the USA during Phase 4 of the strategic plan. Total capital cost is estimated to be an incremental $600 Million.

 

Carbon Black End Product Market

 

Traditional approaches to producing virgin carbon black, a black powder or granular substance, involve the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons in a limited supply of air, a process that generates sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

 

  6  
 

 

Uses of carbon black include:

 

  ●  As a pigment and reinforcement in automobile tires, carbon black helps conduct heat away from the tread and belt area of the tire, reducing thermal damage and increasing tire life;
     
  In some radar absorbent materials to reduce the radar cross-section of an aircraft;
     
  ●  In photocopier and laser printer toner; and in other inks and paints;
     
  ●  In coloring of resins and films, due to the high tinting strength and stability of carbon black;
     
  In belts, hoses, and other non-tire rubber goods;
     
  As a pigment in inks, coatings and plastics. For example, it is added to polypropylene because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation, which otherwise causes the material to degrade;
     
  In various applications for electronics. As a good conductor of electricity, carbon black is used as a filler mixed in plastics, elastomer, films, adhesives, and paints;
     
  As an anti-static additive for fuel caps and pipes for automobiles; and
     
  In food and beverage packaging around the world. It is used in multi-layer UHT milk bottles in the US, parts of Europe and Asia, and South Africa, and in items like microwavable meal trays and meat packaging trays in New Zealand

 

The global market for carbon black should be approximately $20.4B by 2023 1 .

Anticipated Cost of production of Carbon Black – GETH vs Traditional

 

Feedstock Source     Production Cost per lb.  
Phase 1: GETH using third party tire char   $ 0.34/ lb.  
Phase 2: GETH Tire Processing Single Lines (co-located with GETH Carbon Finishing Plant)   $ 0.16/ lb.  
Phase 3: GETH Tire Processing Plants (includes cost of transportation)   $ 0.22/ lb.  
Traditional costs of Carbon Black production from oil or coal     Estimated at $0.50+/ lb.  

 

GETH’s initial cost of production to complete the size reduction and make the agglomerate ready for shipment to customers is expected to be $0.34/lb. based on daily production of 24 tons per day. To start production, we will purchase tire char from third party producers that have already invested in their plants. The feedstock at the third party plants is produced in small quantities – it is difficult for them to sell at low volumes since it is not finished into a product. The aggregation of tire char from a number of small producers provides for a consistent supply of feedstock for the CFP without the initial need to build GETH Tire Processing Plants. This approach, and the focus on the refurbishment of used equipment and the reconditioning of an old building, has dramatically reduced the amount of capital required to get into production and first revenues.

 

When the GETH Tire Processing Lines built during Phase 2 begin operation, the Carbon Finishing Plant will be run at full utilization, with additional staff operating the equipment 24 by 7 to produce 72 tons per day of Carbon Black. At this time the cost of production is expected to decline to $0.16 /lb.

 

When GETH begins production of carbon char at its Tire Processing Plants in MD (built during Phase 3), the cost of production is forecast to increase to a total cost of $0.22 /lb., including transportation costs.

Cost of Sales

 

GETH cost of sales is targeted to be about $0.01 /lb. This includes testing, a Sales Manager, A/R staff and a small intellectual property fee for the plant design that yields the product and the sourcing of the equipment to produce the product.

 

Pricing Dynamics of Carbon Black market

 

Carbon Black is a commodity and is available in several grades depending on the end product use. The product differentiation in the recovered carbon black from scrap tires is driven by lower cost of production and a much lower emissions profile.

 

Carbon Black pricing can be tracked with the WTI crude oil index. Research over the last two oil decline and recovery cycles shows that carbon black pricing increases with WTI with 100% relativity; but declines at about 50% of the decrease in WTI pricing. As a result, over the last three decades, the Producers Price Index for Carbon Black shows an increase that is roughly double that of the increase in WTI. That trend repeated itself in the last cycle when WTI dropped 60%, but the PPI for carbon black dropped only 27%. In 2017, carbon black price increased by 7%, nearly the same as the price increase of WTI at 8%.

 

Our pricing assumptions in the pro-forma are based on price data from early 2017 when we were providing samples to the targeted customer. Once production capability is demonstrated efforts will be made to achieve the current industry standard pricing.

 

Demand for GETH Carbon Black

 

Demand for carbon black in the USA is growing while production capacity is decreasing. “Value demand for Carbon Black in North America is expected to maintain a CAGR of 4.5% between 2016 and 2022 and reach a projected US$3.2 billion by 2022 up from a forecasted US$2.4 billion in 2016.” 1

 

1. Carbon Black – A Global Market Overview; © Industry Experts

 

Buyers of Carbon Black in the US include:

 

  Tire manufacture: Bridgestone, Firestone, Yokohama
     
  Industrial conveyor belts: Fenner-Dunlop
     
  Plastic color concentrate: Amphacet, Plastics Color Company
     
  Custom mixing: AirBoss, Robinson, Polymetrics

 

The EPA has targeted the US carbon black industry to significantly reduce its nitrogen oxide emissions and its sulfur oxide emissions. These pressures have reduced carbon black production in the US at a time when domestic demand for carbon black is increasing and the industry is forecasting a shortfall in production of virgin carbon black by 2020.

 

The sheer volume of the current market at 2.3 million metric tons and growth rate of 4-5% means that the market requires over 100,000 tons of new carbon black production capacity just to meet additional demand. In Phase 2, when the CFP is operating at full capacity of 72 tons per day for 320 days, it will only produce approximately 25% of the growth in the market place, therefore negating the need to displace any current production. As GETH starts operating Tire Processing Plants in 2021, GETH will utilize its lower cost of production, its environmental advantages and its high quality carbon product to gain share in the market.

 

Crude Oil End Product Market

 

At the end of Phase 4 of the strategy, GETH is forecast to be producing 6,300 barrels of oil a day. This level of production would place the company in the top 100 of oil producing entities. Valuations of oil companies tend to be multiples of barrels per day; typically, around 100.

 

GETH oil has the characteristics of a crude oil blend stock. The value of the GETH oil product tracks the crude oil commodity market, and GETH uses the CME Group – Crude Oil Futures Quotes for financial modelling purposes. The current CME quote for January 2019 is $60.47 per barrel.

 

  8  
 

 

Steel End Product Market

 

GETH will sell the steel removed from the tires to a local steel recycler. We have used $50 per ton in our financial models and will negotiate the best price with the steel recycler as part of our project set up

 

Technology Solutions

 

Generation One (GEN 1) of the GETH Solution is an integration of several commercially proven technologies where most of the equipment suppliers for the GEN 1 solution are US companies. The GETH GEN 1 solution uses electromagnetic induction heating. The GETH process produces a “blend stock” oil, char/carbon and steel. The ability to produce a Brent Crude valued blend stock oil, high quality char/carbon and high strength steel differentiates the GETH GEN 1 Solution from all other pyrolysis technologies. GETH has secured an independent engineering certification for its GEN 1 Solution.

Unamortized discount as of December 31, 2018 amounted to $21,153. As of December 31, 2018, there remains 47,300 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares from this issue.

 

In 2017, we turned a corner as we perfected our first generation End of Life Tire Processing Solution that is financially viable and ready for deployment. The last 12 months have been focused on completing all of the complementary steps that are required to make a project fundable, securing partners who can help to deploy our solutions, and engaging with funding institutions who will finance projects in the USA and around the world.

 

On November 1, 2017, the Company issued an eight percent (8%) convertible note in the amount of $75,000. The note is convertible at $0.05 per share for the Company’s common stock. On November 7, 2017, the noteholder converted the note and the Company issued 1,500,000 shares as full settlement of the loan.

 

On May 5, 2017, we received working capital funds in the amount of $77,500 from Auctus Fund LLC (“Auctus”). The note had an interest rate of 10% and was due February 5, 2018. This note was paid in full on November 3, 2017, and the derivative discount of $40,538 was fully amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On May 16, 2017, we received working capital funds in the amount of $74,650 from EMA Financial LLC (“EMA”). The note was in the amount of $77,500 with an original issue discount (OID) in the amount of $2,850, had an interest rate of 10%, and was due May 1, 2018. This note was paid in full on November 10, 2017, and the derivative discount and OID totaling $51,480 was fully amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On April 12, 2017, we received working capital funds in the amount of $100,000 from a private company. The note had an interest rate of 8%. On July 21, 2017, the private company holding this note with its accrued interest in the amount of $2,192 exercised their right to convert in exchange for 1,481,040 shares of our common stock. The conversion price was the price of the stock at the time with a 15% discount to the market price. During the prior year, it was determined this note had derivative discount in the amount of $28,130 which was amortized in the third quarter when the note was converted.

 

On February 9, 2017, we established GETH CFP, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, formed in Delaware. This subsidiary will be our new carbon finishing plant to be located in Ohio.

 

On January 12, 2017, we appointed Mr. Chris Smith, 47, to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Smith was a principal of HE Capital S.A. upon its founding in 2000 until he resigned in 2014, but remains as a consultant. He is a licensed financial consultant to an international clientele and is on the Board of Black Lion Oil Ltd.

Business Outlook for 2019: Generate first revenues and cash from sales of Carbon Black

 

Our progress in 2018 was hampered after our financing commitment was unexpectedly slowed. It is critically important that we continue to make progress in 2019 after our disappointing 2017 and 2018. Our team is committed to achieving our goals. This begins with a rigorous focus on what we need to achieve in the next 12 months. Our goals for 2019 are much the same as 2018, and we are determined our focus will remain adamant on the list below:

 

  1. Maintain financing;
     
  2. Complete our Carbon Finishing Plant in Ohio;
     
  3. Generate revenue;
     
  4. Start to build a minimum of one GEN 1 End of Life Tire Processing Line or Plant; and
     
  5. Strengthen the organization in preparation for growth in 2020 and beyond.

 

We are currently engaged in negotiations with several funding institutions to build the plants in the USA and around the world.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K, we have five employees who are full-time. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.

 

Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings

 

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

 

Compliance with Government Regulation

 

We will be required to comply with various environmental laws and regulations enacted in the jurisdictions in which we operate which govern the manufacture, importation, handling and disposal of certain materials used in our operations. We are in the process of establishing procedures to address compliance with current environmental laws and regulations and we monitor our practices concerning the handling of environmentally hazardous materials.

 

  11  
 

 

Patents, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or Labor Contracts

 

We filed a provisional patent in December 2013. In December 2014, however, we decided to not pursue a patent and stopped the patent process to keep our technology a trade secret. We have a license agreement with Black Lion. The original agreement provided for us to receive a 10% royalty which was later amended to receive 5% on gross revenues with any plant associated with Black Lion. Black Lion is currently pursuing opportunities outside the U.S.

 

Need for Government Approval for its Products or Services

 

We are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in California and the United States. We do not believe we are required to apply for any additional governmental approvals for our plants. However, we are required to obtain local permits for the location of our facilities. We do not anticipate any problems obtaining these permits. On March 20, 2014, we applied to the California Bay Area Air Quality Management District where our plans were approved and they granted us permits with authority to construct a plant in the bay area.

 

Research and Development Costs during the Last Two Years

 

Over the past two years, we have continued to incur research costs and improve our technology. We elected to expense all cost associated with research and development.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We are currently not profitable and may never become profitable.

 

We have a history of losses totaling $29,704,957 through December 31, 2018, we expect to incur additional substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we continue to fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock and investors would in all likelihood lose their entire investment.

 

Our independent registered accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Because we have not generated revenues, our independent registered accounting firm has included in their report for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, an uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have no operating history and an uncertain future.

 

We have no operating history upon which to evaluate our present business and future prospects. We face risks and uncertainties relating to our ability to implement our business plan successfully. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise generally. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the commencement of operations and the competitive environment in which we operate. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be materially harmed.

 

We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had $1,180 in cash available. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund the demand of our operating losses and capital expenditures. Accordingly, we need significant additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise substantial capital, investors will lose their entire investment.

 

  12  
 

 

If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders could lose their investment.

 

We do not believe there are track records for companies pursuing our strategy, and there is no guarantee that our strategy will be successful or profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will fail to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business we pursue, which would cause our value to decrease, thereby potentially causing in all likelihood, our stockholders to lose their investment.

 

Our business will be dependent on a few large suppliers for feedstock and is vulnerable to changes in availability or supply of such feedstock.

 

We intend to derive our feedstock from suppliers who are operating large tire recycling operations and farming operations with large volumes of waste “Ag-Film” or plastic. Any substantial alteration or termination of our contracts or agreements with those particular suppliers may have a material adverse effect on our revenue as we may be unable to run our operation at capacity without a sufficient source of feedstock.

 

We will rely on several large customers for our product and are vulnerable to dramatic shifts in their industry.

 

We intend to focus on selling our product to the oil industry. Most of our customers and end users are subject to budgetary and political constraints which may delay or limit purchases of our products, and we will have no control over those decisions.

 

We may be unable to successfully execute any of our identified business opportunities or other business opportunities that we determine to pursue.

 

We currently have a limited corporate infrastructure. In order to pursue business opportunities, we will need to continue to build our infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more of the following factors:

 

  1. Our ability to raise substantial additional capital to fund the implementation of our business plan;
     
  2. Our ability to execute our business strategy;
     
  3. The ability of our products and services to achieve market acceptance;
     
  4. Our ability to manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships;
     
  5. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
     
  6. Our ability to manage our third party relationships effectively; and
     
  7. Our ability to accurately predict and respond to the rapid technological changes in our industry and the evolving demands of the markets we serve.

 

Our failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant impact on our ability to implement our business plan and our ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.

 

If we are unable to manage our intended growth, our prospects for future profitability will be adversely affected.

 

We intend to aggressively expand our marketing and sales program. Rapid expansion may strain our managerial, financial and other resources. If we are unable to manage our growth, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our systems, procedures, controls and management resources also may not be adequate to support our future operations. We will need to continually improve our operational, financial and other internal systems to manage our growth effectively, and any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies, and result in reduced growth prospects and profitability.

 

  13  
 

 

Our insurance policies may be inadequate in a catastrophic situation and potentially expose us to unrecoverable risks.

 

We will have limited commercial insurance policies. Any significant claims against us would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Insurance availability, coverage terms and pricing continue to vary with market conditions. We endeavor to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for insurable risks that we identify, however, we may fail to correctly anticipate or quantify insurable risks. We may not be able to obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and insurers may not respond as we intend to cover insurable events that may occur. We have observed rapidly changing conditions in the insurance markets relating to nearly all areas of traditional corporate insurance. Such conditions have resulted in higher premium costs, higher policy deductibles and lower coverage limits. For some risks, we may not have or maintain insurance coverage because of cost or availability.

 

We may become liable for damages for violations of environmental laws and regulations.

 

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations enacted in the jurisdictions in which we operate which govern the manufacture, importation, handling and disposal of certain materials used in our operations. We are in the process of establishing procedures to address compliance with current environmental laws and regulations and we monitor our practices concerning the handling of environmentally hazardous materials. However, there can be no assurance that our procedures will prevent environmental damage occurring from spills of materials handled by us or that such damage has not already occurred. On occasion, substantial liabilities to third parties may be incurred. We may have the benefit of insurance we maintain. However, we may become liable for damages against which it cannot adequately insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high costs or other reasons.

 

We face intense competition and may not be able to successfully compete.

 

We currently do not have direct competitors in the capacity range we target. However, there can be no assurance that: (i) we will not have direct competition in the future, (ii) that such competitors will not substantially increase the resources devoted to the development and marketing of their products and services that compete with us, or (iii) that new or existing competitors will not enter the market in which we are active.

 

We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

 

Our success depends in large part upon the abilities and continued service of our board and executive officers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such officers and employees. Our failure to retain the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. In order to support our projected growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect us. We have no “key man” insurance on any of our key employees.

 

Risks Related to the Common Stock

 

There is a limited trading market for the Common Stock.

 

Our Common Stock is currently being traded on the OTCPINK. However, to date there has been a limited trading market for the Common Stock, and we cannot give assurance that a more active trading market will develop. The lack of an active, or any, trading market will impair a stockholder’s ability to sell his shares at the time he wishes to sell them or at a price that he considers reasonable. An inactive market will also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and will impair our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using common stock as consideration.

 

  14  
 

 

Stockholders may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our Common Stock.

 

There has been a limited trading market for our Common Stock, and the bid and asked prices for our Common Stock on the OTCPINK may fluctuate widely in the future. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of our Common Stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our Common Stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.

 

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

 

Dramatic fluctuations in the price of our Common Stock may make it difficult to sell our Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

 

●  dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and other forms of equity securities in connection with (i) future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, and (ii) attracting and retaining valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
   
variations in our quarterly operating results;
   
announcements that our revenue or income are below or that costs or losses are greater than analysts’ expectations;
   
the general economic slowdown;
   
sales of large blocks of our Common Stock;
   
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; and
   
Fluctuations stock market prices and volumes.

 

These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our Common Stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our founders received their shares of our Common Stock at a price of $.01 per share.

 

Our founders received their shares of our Common Stock at a price of $.01 per share. The low purchase price for such shares may make it more likely that the shares will be sold at lower trading prices. The sale of such shares into the market could have a depressive effect on the trading price of our Common Stock, if then traded.

 

The Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell the Common Stock.

 

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

  1. That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
     
  2. The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

  1. Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
     
  2. Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

 

  15  
 

 

  3. Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks
     
  4. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
     
  5. That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for the Common Stock and could limit an investor’s ability to sell the Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements, do not apply us.

 

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material we provided contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could adversely affect our financial condition.

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.

 

No cash dividends have been paid on our Common Stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We have not adopted any equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2018.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

In March 2018, we filed with the state of Delaware, Division of Corporations, a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations for 300,000 shares of a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designations was approved by the Division of Corporations. These Series B Convertible Preferred shares are senior to Common Shareholders in reference to liquidation dividends and are junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred shares. The Series B Convertible Preferred Shares have an annual 12% dividend with a stated value of $1.00 and have no voting rights.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this annual report on Form 10-K may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this annual report on Form 10-K, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this annual report on Form 10-K and in other documents which we file with the Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this annual report on Form 10-K, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

 

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

 

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence, but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which we do not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

 

Reclassification-Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

  19  
 

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, together with notes thereto as previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. They have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, as further described below.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

●  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
   
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
   
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

  23  
 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2018 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that were considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2018. These material weaknesses can be rectified by an injection of funding needed to hire personnel to fill the positions needed to carry out the necessary duties for adequate internal controls. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which permanently exempted smaller reporting companies.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated initiatives to safe guard our cash as the most important imperative. Our CEO directs our VP of Finance to pay only invoices approved by the CEO. A monthly budget is approved and any deviation from the budget has to have approval. We intend to initiate the following plan when funding permits:

 

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. Further, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

 

  24  
 

 

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2019. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2019.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2018, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance

 

Our officers, directors and shareholders owning greater than ten percent (10%) of our shares are required to file beneficial ownership reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act (the “Exchange Act”). All such reporting obligations were complied with during the year ended December 31, 2018, except that Gary De Laurentiis, our Chief Executive Officer, has not filed Form 4s due in connection with.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We do not currently have a code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Controller, or persons performing similar functions. Because we have only limited business operations and until recently only had one (1) officer and one (1) director, we believe a code of ethics would have limited utility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Green Envirotech Holdings Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Green Envirotech Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GREEN ENVIROTECH HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

 

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 26, 2007, under the name Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. On November 20, 2009, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction pursuant to which it acquired Green EnviroTech Corp., a Nevada corporation. Wolfe Creek Mining, Inc. up until November 20, 2009, was primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Green EnviroTech Corp was incorporated on October 6, 2008 and was engaged in plastics recovery. The financial statements included herein are the financials of Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries from October 6, 2008 to current.

 

Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss. The Company also had a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit. Further losses are anticipated in the development of the Company’s business raising substantial doubt and its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they come due from normal business operations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans and/or private placement of common stock.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders and our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue toward funding our first operation.

 

The Company has had very little operating history to date. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Besides generating revenues from proposed operations, the Company may need to raise additional funds to expand operations to the point at which it can achieve profitability. The terms of new debt or equity that may be raised may not be on terms acceptable to the Company. If it fails to raise adequate funds from unrelated third parties, its officers and directors may need to contribute additional funds to sustain operations.

 

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, GETH CFP, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, formed in Delaware on February 9, 2017. This subsidiary will be our new carbon finishing plant to be located in Ohio. Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated between the entities.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider cash equivalents when purchased to be all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less.

 

We maintain cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We do not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred.

 

Construction in Progress

 

Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes the costs of construction and other direct costs attributable to the construction. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and put into use. During the year end December 31, 2017, we incurred engineering and design costs on our first planned GEN 1 End of Life Tire Processing Plant. The engineering and design includes process flow diagrams, equipment specifications, building layout and piping and instrument drawings. These costs are carried in Construction in Progress. Interest on the borrowing related to construction is capitalized in accordance with ASC 835-20 Capitalization of Interest. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were $37,931 and $8,044 interest capitalized, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, due to lack of funding, the Company determined to fully impair the assets in construction in progress and recognized an impairment loss of $980,801. The balance in construction in progress after the recognition of the impairment loss of $114,386 represents the value for the equipment that was used to settle an existing payable to the vendor who refurbished the related equipment.

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

 

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

 

We will review long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment will be based primarily on our ability to recover the carrying value of our long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from our operations on an undiscounted basis. Please refer to Construction in Progress.

 

If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale will be carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes . There are two major components of income tax expense, current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates cash to be paid or refunded for taxes for the applicable period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates, which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes between deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

A valuation allowance is established when, based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

 

As of January 1, 2018, we have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal, California and Ohio as our “major” tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service and California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2010 through 2018 Tax Returns. We will file our first Ohio Corporate Franchise Tax Board return for the year ended December 31, 2018, in 2019. We have certain tax attribute carry forwards, which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.

 

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax position have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

We follow ASC 260, Earnings per Share . Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of debt and preferred stock. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when we report a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. As of December 31, 2018, we had common stock equivalents related to outstanding warrants of 24,358,342 and 102,048,949 related to shares issuable upon conversion of debt and preferred stock.

 

Stock-Based Awards

 

ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

We account for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

 

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our statement of operations. The forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we estimated our forfeiture rate to be 0% based on the Company’s historical experience. There were no stock options granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we granted no common stock warrants to investors, lenders, consultants and certain officers. The fair value of any stock warrants if issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock is recorded against common stock as stock issuance cost. The fair value of stock warrants issued in conjunction with notes payable is recognized as a discount on the related debt and amortized to interest expense over the term to maturity.

 

The fair value of stock-based awards to consultants, employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options and warrants. The inputs for the valuation analysis of the options and warrants include the market value of the Company’s common stock, the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock, the exercise price and the risk free interest rate.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We have adopted certain provisions of ASC Topic 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

 

  Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

  F- 9  
 

 

GREEN ENVIROTECH HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

 

  Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
     
  Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

There were recently issued updates most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Related Party

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “ Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

NOTE 3- LOAN PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY AND CONVERTIBLE

 

The Company has had a Line of Credit with H. E. Capital, S. A. since December 3, 2010. This Line of Credit accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is convertible at $0.10 per share. The due date of the loan was extended to December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, H.E. Capital converted $40,000 of the debt into 1,000,000 common shares of the Company. H.E.

On February 1, 2016, we issued an 8%, $134,000 Note Payable to our former CEO Chris Bowers for funds received. The funds were used for working capital in Smart Fuel Solutions, Inc. (SFS). On September 28, 2016 when we acquired controlling interest in SFS we assumed the note. The note is convertible at $0.50 per share. This note is in default as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the accrued interest on this note was $26,044 and $15,324 respectively.

 

On March 3, 2017, we approved a new working capital line of credit loan with our former CEO, Chris Bowers in the amount up to $150,000 at 8% due December 31, 2018. This note was extended until December 31, 2018, but was not extended further. The note is now in default. The note has conversion rights into our common shares at $0.10 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2018, this note has a balance of $54,100 with accrued interest in the amount of $12,222. The Company evaluated this convertible LOC for Beneficial Conversion Features (BCF) and concluded that the LOC incurred a BCF when it was issued on March 3, 2017. The CF resulted in a debt discount in the amount of $35,300 which was amortized in full during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On August 15, 2016, we accepted a Line of Credit (LOC) in the amount of $500,000 from our former CEO Chris Bowers. On November 14, 2016, we accepted a second Line of Credit (LOC) in the amount of $500,000 from our CEO. These two LOCs had an outstanding balance in the amount of $1,000,000 for both years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. There was accrued interest in the amount of $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and none for the year ended December 31, 2017. These LOCs accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month based upon $1,000,000 total balance. We have been paying $10,000 per month in interest on the two LOCs, but we were not able to make these payments for the last six months of 2018. The due date of the two loans was December 31, 2018. These two loans were not extended and are in default. The funds were used for working capital of the Company. The first LOC has two Addendums attached to it. Addendum A clarifies debt conversion rights attached to the LOC at $0.20 per share of common stock. Addendum B clarifies other rights attached to the LOC. These other rights are numbered below. (The second LOC has the same rights as that of the first LOC). The Company evaluated these convertible LOCs for Beneficial Conversion Features (BCF) and concluded that the second LOC incurred a Beneficial Conversion Features (BCF) when it was issued on November 14, 2016. The BCF resulted in a debt discount in the amount of $105,600 of which $96,800 was amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $8,800 was amortized in the year the LOC was accepted. These certain other rights in Addendum B provide for the following:

These Series B Convertible Preferred shares are senior to Common Shareholders in reference to liquidation dividends and are junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred shares. The Series B Convertible Preferred Shares have an annual 12% dividend with a stated value of $1.00 and have no voting rights. The redemption options for these shares are 105% for the first 30 days, 110% for the first 60 days, 115% for the first 90 days, 120% for the first 120 days, 125% for the first 150 days and 130% for the first 180 days, then after no redemption rights. Twelve months from the issue date, the Company has a “mandatory redemption date” to redeem the outstanding shares not converted.

Warrants

 

The Company uses a fair price option pricing model in valuing options and warrants. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two is considered observable and the last unobservable.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

NOTE 10 Acquisition of Minority Interest In Smart Fuel Solutions, Inc.

 

Effective June 30, 2017, we merged Smart Fuel Solutions, Inc. into the Company by acquiring the remaining 17.5% minority interest of 3,600,000 shares in exchange for a similar number of the Company’s common shares. The minority interest was valued at $360,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at June 30, 2017 of $0.10 per share. We issued 3,000,000 shares valued at $300,000 to a minority shareholder of Smart Fuel as of September 30, 2017 and the remaining 600,000 shares to be issued, remain as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. The difference in the fair value of the consideration and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest of $466,128 was charged to additional paid in capital. As a result of the acquisition, Smart Fuel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has issued 3,000,000 of the 3,600,000 shares exchanged. The fair value as of the date of merger of the remaining 600,000 shares is $60,000 and is carried on the consolidated balance sheet as stock payable. The Company also recognized Smart Fuel’s 3,143,000 outstanding warrants as if they had been issued by the Company.

 

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Availability of loss usage is subject to change of ownership limitations under Internal Revenue Code 382. Availability of loss usage is also subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS, when they do audits, normally go back three years, but this can be extended three more years if it can be proven income was understated by 25% or more. Years from 2012 through 2018 remain subject to review by the IRS.

 

The 2017 Act reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would generally eliminate the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and instead would permit all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal Income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward in the amount of approximately $13,218,000 available to offset future taxable income indefinitely. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.

 

NOTE 12 – Commitments and CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company on September 30, 2014 settled a claim in New York courts from a vendor for unpaid fees, MicroCap vs Green EnviroTech, by agreeing to deliver 25,000 shares a month for six months to the plaintiff. All the shares were delivered. On or about June 18, 2015, Microcap asked the court for a judgment alleging a default of the stipulation of settlement. Microcap’s position was that what was delivered was unsellable as the Company had not made timely filings of its Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Presently, the Company is current with all of its filings with the SEC. The Company filed a Statement in opposition on June 23, 2015. On June 29, 2015, the Court entered a judgment in the amount of $42,111 in favor of Microcap. The Company recorded the judgment as a liability as of December 31, 2016. This judgement was settled in full during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

During 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Black Lion Oil Limited (Black Lion) whose primary focus is on emerging energy technology with broad applications. Under the agreement, the Company granted to Black Lion exclusive rights to the “waste to oil” process in specific territories outside of the United States. In return Black Lion paid $100,000 in cash to the Company as a fee and agreed to pay the Company royalties amounting to ten percent (5.0%) of Black Lion’s gross sales. The Company used the fee for working capital. As of December 31, 2018, Black Lion has not opened its first plant.

 

NOTE 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Liabilities

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based upon its determined derivative discounts. The notes totaled $91,700 with net discounts in the amount of $53,497.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018:

 

    Amount     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3

Total   $ 511,237     $ -     $ -     $ 511,237  

 

The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued, that became convertible during the prior year as well as the mandatorily redeemable Series B convertible preferred stock issued during the year ended December 31, 2018 (see Note 8), qualified these as derivative instruments since the number of shares issuable under the notes and preferred shares are indeterminate based on guidance in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a result, all other equity linked instruments including outstanding warrants and fixed rate convertible debt were tainted and also required derivative accounting treatment.

 

The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants was determined through the use of a Multinomial Lattice model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e. “payoff”) of the option for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the option.

The valuation of the derivative liability attached to the convertible debt and the preferred shares was arrived at through the use of a Multinomial Lattice model that values the derivative liability within the notes and preferred shares. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability.

 

The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the Notes, Preferred Shares and subset to the Warrants as of December 31, 2018:

 

The stock price of $ 0.0060 to $0.0053 in these periods (variable conversion price; reset provisions; and upon redemption or default penalties) would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility;
   
An event of default adjusting the interest rate would occur 0% of the time for all notes except the Peak 1 Note which increases 0.50% per month to a maximum of 5% with the corresponding penalty;
   
The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of comparable companies and the term remaining for each note was from 212 % through 342 % at issuance, conversion, and quarters ends;
   
The Company would redeem the notes (with the corresponding penalty) projected initially at 0% of the time for all notes except the EMA and Auctus Notes which increase monthly by 1.0% to a maximum of 5.0% (from alternative financing being available for a redemption event to occur); and
   
For the variable rate (some notes include conversion rate ceilings – the lessor of variable rates and a fixed rate) and fixed rate Notes, the Holder would convert (after 0 days) at maturity based on ownership and trading volume limits; and
   
The Holder would automatically convert the note or exercise early at a multiple of the conversion/exercise or the stock price if the registration was effective (after 0 days) and the Company was not in default.

 

Using the results from the model, the Company recorded additional paid in capital of $173,346 from the conversion of $300,818 of debt. The derivative liability recorded for the convertible feature created a debt discount of $109,866 which is being amortized over the remaining term of the instrument using the effective interest rate method, and is classified as convertible debt on the balance sheet. The Company also issued 191,400 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2018 for $165,000. These shares are shown in current liability section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet net of their discounted value of $26,090 and conversion amount of $130,490. These shares created a derivative discount and OID in the amount of $120,726. The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as a gain of $523,248 to reflect the value of the derivative liability for warrants and convertible instruments as $60,004 as of December 31, 2018.
