Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 filed on ~~May 14, 2020,~~April 5, 2021, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was derived.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, and results of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for all periods presented. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MES, Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~Restatement of previously issued financial statements (unaudited)~~

On April 13, 2020, the Company concluded that a gain on debt restructuring recognized during the first quarter of 2019 (relating to the New AC Midwest Unsecured Note) should have been accounted for as a capital transaction. Since the New AC Midwest Unsecured Note was held by a related party, the gain should have been recorded as a capital transaction under ASC 470-50-40. The profit-sharing portion also should have been bifurcated from the loan and shown separately on the consolidated balance sheets of the financial statements. For more information please review Note 14 in the Form 10-K filed on May 14, 2020 which includes the restated financial statements. Accordingly, the restated amounts are reflected in the results of operations in this Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America~~GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, valuation of equity issuances and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, profit share liability, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve and impairment of intellectual property. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Recoverability of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment, right of use asset and intellectual property. No impairment charges were recognized for both of the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value, which are as follows:

	☐	Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

	☐	Level 2 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

	☐	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

Cash was the only asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and is considered to be Level 1.

Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer credits and short-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated fair value at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 due to their short-term maturities.

The fair value of the promissory notes payable at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 approximated the carrying amount as the notes were recently issued ~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019~~ at interest rates prevailing in the market and interest rates have not significantly changed as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The fair value of the promissory notes payable was determined on a Level 2 measurement. Discounts on issued debt, as well as debt issuance costs, are amortized over the term of the individual promissory notes.

The fair value of the profit share liability at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on estimated future cash payments. The fair value of the profit share liability was determined on a Level 3 measurement. These values are determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilized management’s ~~estimates~~estimates.

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to 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. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Table of Contents

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer that obtains control of the product. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to a customer. Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales and other taxes are excluded from revenues. Invoiced shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company generated revenue for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021, and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ by (i) delivering product to its commercial customers, (ii) completing and commissioning equipment projects at commercial customer sites and (iii) performing demonstrations of its technology at customers with the intent of entering into long term supply agreements based on the performance of the Company’s products during the ~~demonstrations.~~demonstrations and (iv) licensing its technology to customers.

Revenue for product sales is recognized at the point of time in which the customer obtains control of the product, at the time title passes to the customer upon shipment or delivery of the product based on the applicable shipping terms.

Revenue for equipment sales is recognized upon commissioning and customer acceptance of the installed equipment per the terms of the purchase contract.

Revenue for demonstrations and consulting services is recognized when performance obligations contained in the contract have been completed, typically the completion of necessary field work and the delivery of any required analysis per the terms of the agreement.

Revenue for licensing is recognized at the point of time in which the customer obtains the license. Lump sum payments made pursuant to agreements in which the primary consideration is a license to the company’s technology is accounted for as license revenue. Certain arrangements provide for repayment of license fees in the event the company enters into a supply agreement that results in a specified amount of sales. Nothing is recognized for this contingency.

The following table presents sales by operating segment disaggregated based on the type of product and geographic region for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, and ~~2019.~~2020.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (“NOLs”) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. There were no dilutive potential common shares as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ because the Company incurred net losses and basic and diluted losses per common share are the same. The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. The exercise of these common stock equivalents would dilute earnings per share if the Company becomes profitable in the future.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and equivalents on deposit with financial institutions and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 is maintained at high-quality financial institutions and has not incurred any losses to date.

Customer and Supplier Concentration

For each of the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ 100% of the Company’s revenue related to ~~ten~~fourteen and ~~eight~~nine customers respectively. At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable related to eight and seven customers, respectively.

For each of the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, 93% and ~~2019, 85% and 77%~~86% of the Company’s purchases related to two suppliers, respectively. At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 38% and ~~2019, 67% and 78%~~47% of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses related to two vendors, respectively. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they arise from guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share based payments. Prior to the issuance of this guidance, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share-based payment transactions were significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (which only included share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees is substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on ~~its condensed~~the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements associated with fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on ~~its condensed~~the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods (beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Note 3 – Going Concern and Financial Condition

Under ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ~~$61.5~~$63.9 million and ~~a negative~~ working capital of ~~$697,845~~$484,244 at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company had a net loss ~~in the amount~~ of ~~$3.8 million and cash used by operating activities of $1.5 million~~$417,934 for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we anticipate continued significant revenues for products ~~in be~~being used in MATS compliance activities, no assurances can be given that the Company can obtain sufficient working capital through these activities and additional financing may be needed to meet its obligations. In April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $299,300 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Cares Act which was enacted on March 27, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the Company may need to raise additional equity or debt financing. While the Company believes in its ability to raise additional funds, no assurances can be given that the Company can maintain sufficient working capital through these efforts, or that the continued implementation of its business plan will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Secured Note Payable

On November 29, 2016, pursuant to a new restated financing agreement entered with AC Midwest Energy, LLC (“AC Midwest”) on November 1, 2016, the Company closed on a new secured note with AC Midwest (the “New AC Midwest Secured Note”) in the original principal amount of $9,646,686, which was to mature on December 15, 2018. AC Midwest is wholly-owned by a stockholder of the Company. The New AC Midwest Secured Note is guaranteed by MES, is non-convertible and bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on or before the last day of each fiscal quarter. Interest expense for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $10,188 and ~~2019 was $10,215 and $10,415 respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $30,653 and $30,904~~$9,937 respectively. On February 25, 2019, per Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, AC Midwest agreed to waive compliance with a certain financial covenant of the Restated Financing Agreement and strike this covenant in its entirety as of the effective date of the amendment. Also, pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the parties agreed that the maturity date for the remaining principal balance due under the AC Midwest Secured Note would be extended from December 15, 2018 to August 25, 2022. The amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50 with no gain or loss recorded. As of both ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, total principal of $271,686 was outstanding on this note.

On November 29, 2016, pursuant to a new restated financing agreement entered with AC Midwest on November 1, 2016, the Company closed on an unsecured note with AC Midwest (the “AC Midwest Subordinated Note”) in the principal amount of $13,000,000, which was to mature on December 15, 2020. On February 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Unsecured Note Financing Agreement (the “Unsecured Note Financing Agreement”) with AC Midwest, pursuant to which AC Midwest issued an unsecured note in the principal amount of $13,154,931 (the “New AC Midwest Unsecured Note”), which represented the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest at closing.

In accordance with ASC 470-60-15-5, since the present value of the cash flows under the new debt instrument was at least ten percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instrument, the Company accounted for the amendment to note as a debt extinguishment. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the remaining debt discount on the original debentures of $1,070,819. Since the amendment was with a related party defined in ASC 470-50-40-2 the Company recorded a Capital contribution of $3,412,204 on this exchange which is primarily related to the difference in fair value of the note on the date of the exchange. The Company determined that the rate of interest on the AC Midwest Subordinated Note was a below market rate of interest and determined that a discount of $6,916,687 should be recorded. This discount is based on an applicable market rate for unsecured debt for the Company of 21% and will be amortized as interested expense over the life of the loan. Amortized discount recorded as interest expense for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $487,472 and ~~2019 was $1,484,082 and $1,175,349,~~$462,483, respectively. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the unamortized balance of the discount was ~~$3,758,952.~~$2,602,100.

Table of Contents

The New AC Midwest Unsecured Note, which has been issued in exchange for the AC Midwest Subordinated Note which has now been cancelled, will mature on August 25, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). It bears a zero cash interest rate.

AC Midwest shall be entitled to a profit participation preference equal to 1.0 times the original principal amount (the “Profit Share”). If the original principal amount had been paid in full on or prior to August 25, 2020, AC Midwest would have been entitled to a profit participation preference equal to 0.5 times the original principal amount.
The Profit Share is “non-recourse” and shall only be derived from and computed on the basis of, and paid from, Net Litigation Proceeds from claims relating to the Company’s intellectual property, ~~(see Note 11),~~ Net Revenue Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (as such terms are defined in the Unsecured Note Financing Agreement).

The Profit Share

In connection with the New AC Midwest Unsecured Note the Company shall pay the principal outstanding, as well as the Profit Share, in an amount equal to 60.0% of Net Litigation Proceeds until such time as any litigation funder has been paid in full and, thereafter, in an amount equal to 75.0% of such Net Litigation Proceeds until the Unsecured Note and Profit Share have been paid in full. In addition, and within 30 days following the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company shall pay the principal outstanding and Profit Share in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Revenue Share (which means 60.0% of Net Licensing Revenue (as defined) from licensing the Company’s intellectual property) plus Adjusted Free Cash Flow until the Unsecured Note and Profit Share have been paid in full, provided, however, that such payments shall exclude the first $3,500,000 of Net Licensing Revenue and Adjusted Free Cash Flow achieved commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019. Any remaining principal balance due on the Unsecured Note shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Profit Share, however, if not paid in full on or before the Maturity Date, shall remain subject to Unsecured Note Financing Agreement until full and final payment.

The Company is utilizing the methodology behind the ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity to determine how to account for the profit-sharing portion of the note payable. Although the transaction is not indexed to MEEC’s common stock the profit sharing has the characteristics of a freestanding financial instrument because the profit sharing is not callable by the lender, it will be paid out past the maturity of the Unsecured Note Payable and, the fair value will fluctuate over time based on payment predictions. The Profit Share was determined to have a fair value of $1,954,383 upon grant. ~~This was calculated with~~The discounted cash flow model ~~with~~assumptions used at March 31, 2021 to calculate the ~~following key valuation assumptions:~~Profit Share liability included: estimated term of ~~eighteen~~sixteen years with ~~$1 million~~between $100,000 to $350,000 paid ~~yearly~~quarterly after the first ~~five~~three years, and an annual market interest rate of 21%. The profit share liability will be marked to market every quarter utilizing ~~managements~~management’s estimates.

The following are the changes in the profit share liabilities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Fixed Price Contract

The Company’s multi-year contracts with its commercial customers contain fixed prices for product. These contracts expire ~~between~~through 2020 and 2025 and expose the Company to the potential risks associated with rising material costs during that same period. Revenue reported during interim periods were recorded based on the facts and circumstances at the time and any differences noted when the final revenue is determined is considered to be a change in estimate for the period.

Legal proceedings

On July 17, 2019, the Company initiated patent litigation against certain defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 10,343,114 (the “‘114 Patent”) and 8,168,147 (the “‘147 Patent”) owned by the Company. These patents relate to the Company’s two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA^®) process for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants. Named as defendants in the lawsuit are (i) Vistra Energy Corp., AEP Generation Resources Inc., NRG Energy, Inc., Talen Energy Corporation, and certain of their respective affiliated entities, all of which are owners and/or operators of coal-fired power plants in the United States, and (ii) Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., DTE REF Holdings, LLC, CERT Coal Holdings LLC, Chem-Mod LLC, and certain of their respective affiliated entities, and additional named and unnamed defendants, all of which operate or are involved in operations of coal facilities in the United States. In the lawsuit, the Company alleges that each of the defendants has willfully infringed the Company’s ‘114 Patent and ‘147 Patent and seeks a permanent injunction from further acts of infringement and monetary damages. ~~Such litigation is currently pending and in its early stages.~~

~~On April 21,~~During 2020, ~~NRG Energy, Inc., Talen Energy Corporation and Vistra Energy Corp., three~~each of the four major utility defendants in the above action filed ~~two~~ petitions for Inter Partes Review ~~(“IPR”)~~(IPR) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ~~(“USPTO”)~~(USPTO), seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ~~‘114 Patent on May 27,~~patents which are subject to the litigation.
Between July 2020 and January 2021, we entered into agreements with each of the four major utility defendants in such ~~defendants filed two additional~~action which included certain monetary arrangements and pursuant to which we have dismissed all claims brought against each of them and their affiliates, and such parties have withdrawn from petitions for IPR with the USPTO, seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ‘147 Patent. On or about July 15, 2020, AEP Generation Resources, Inc., another defendant in the above action, filed four petitions for IPR with the USPTO, seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ‘114 Patent and ‘147 Patent. The Company believes that all of the foregoing claims of invalidity are without merit.
On July 30, 2020, the Company and Vistra Corp. executed a multi-year fleetwide license and supply agreement to provide Vistra a non-exclusive license to certain Company patents for use in connection with Vistra’s coal-fired power plants, and to facilitate the parties’ ongoing business relationship.USPTO. Such patents licensed to Vistra relate to the Company’s two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA®) process for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants. The Company has dismissed all claims brought against Vistra in the patent litigation initiated by the Company and Vistra has agreed to withdraw from petitions for IPR filed with the USPTO.
On October 26, 2020, and with respect to the two IPRs filed on April 21, 2020, the Board determined that the petitioners demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of prevailing with respect to at least one claim of the ‘114 Patent and, accordingly, instituted such IPRs.

Note 13 - Warrants

Sold and issued warrants are subject to the provisions of FASB ASC 815-10, the Company utilized a Black-Scholes options pricing model to value the warrants sold and issued. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions such as the expected stock price volatility and the expected period until the warrants are exercised. When calculating the value of warrants issued, the Company uses a volatility factor, ~~of 100%,~~ a risk-free interest rate and the life of the warrant for the exercise period.
From January 23, 2021 to February 16, 2021, the Company issued 705,166 shares of common stock to certain warrant holders upon the cash exercise of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 705,166 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share or $246,808 in the aggregate.
On February 17, 2021, the Company issued 97,675 shares of common stock to a certain warrant holder upon the cashless exercise of a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share based upon a market value of $1.29 per share as determined under the terms of the warrant.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere within this report. Certain statements we make under this Item 2 constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in “Part I” preceding “Item 1 – Financial Information.” You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Background

Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) is an environmental services and ~~technology~~technologies company ~~specializing in mercury emission control technologies, primarily to utility~~developing and ~~industrial coal-fired units. We deliver~~delivering patented and proprietary solutions to the global ~~coal-power industry to remove mercury from~~ power ~~plant emissions, providing performance guarantees, and~~industry. Our leading-edge ~~emissions services. We have developed patented technology and proprietary products that~~services have been shown to achieve mercury emissions removal at a significantly lower cost and with less operational impact to coal-fired power plants than currently used methods, while maintaining and/or increasing ~~unit~~power plant output and preserving the marketability of ~~fly-ash~~byproducts for beneficial use.

North America is currently the largest market for our technology. The U.S. EPA MATS (Mercury and Air Toxics Standards) rule requires that all coal and oil-fired power plants in the U.S., larger than 25MWs, must limit mercury in its emissions to below certain specified levels, according to the type of coal burned. Power plants were required to begin complying with MATS on April 16, 2015, unless they were granted a one-year extension to begin to comply. MATS, along with many state and provincial regulations, form the basis for mercury emission capture at coal fired plants across North America. Under the MATS regulation, Electric Generating Units (“EGUs”) are required to remove about 90% of the mercury from their emissions. We believe that we continue to meet the requirements of the industry as a whole and our technologies have been shown to achieve mercury removal levels compliant with all state, provincial and federal regulations at a lower cost and with less plant impact than our competition.

As is typical in this market, we are paid by the EGU based on how much of our material is injected to achieve the needed level of mercury removal. Our current clients pay us as material is delivered to their facility. Clients will use our material whenever their EGUs operate, although EGUs are not always in operation. EGUs typically may not be in operation due to maintenance reasons or when the price of power in the market is less than their cost to produce power. Thus, our revenues from EGU clients will not typically be a consistent stream but will fluctuate, especially seasonally as the market demand for power fluctuates.

The MATS regulation has been subject to legal challenge ~~and in~~since being enacted. In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the EPA unreasonably failed to consider costs in determining whether it is “appropriate and necessary” to regulate hazardous air pollutants, including mercury, from power ~~plants. The Court remanded the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for further proceedings,~~plants, but left the rule in place. ~~In December 2015,~~On remand, following the ~~D.C. Circuit remanded the rule back~~Supreme Court’s instructions to consider costs, the EPA ~~for further consideration while allowing MATS to remain~~ in ~~effect pending the EPA’s finding; the Supreme Court later denied a petition challenging the lower court’s decision to remand without vacating. On~~ April ~~14,~~ 2016 ~~EPA~~ issued a final supplemental finding reaffirming the MATS rule on the ground that it is supported by the cost analysis the Supreme Court required. That supplemental finding isremains under review by the D.C. ~~Circuit, and~~Circuit. In April 2017, the ~~Company is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of these proceedings. On April 18, 2017,~~ EPA asked the court to place that litigation in abeyance, stating that the Agency isthen under the Trump Administration was reviewing the supplemental finding to determine whether it should be reconsidered in whole or in part. The court granted EPA’s abeyance request onwhich has remained in place. In April ~~27, 2017, and ordered EPA to file 90-day status reports starting July 26, 2017. In February 2019,~~2020, the EPA ~~published a proposed revised supplemental cost-benefits finding for MATS in which EPA proposed to conclude~~concluded that the 2016 supplemental finding was flawed in part due to its reliance on co-benefits to justify ~~MATS. Nevertheless, the EPA proposed to leave the~~ MATS ~~rule in place. At the same time, EPA also requested public comment on whether MATS may or must be rescinded if EPA reversed its earlier conclusion that it is “appropriate~~ and necessary” to regulate power plant emissions of mercury and other hazardous air pollutants under the statutory provision authorizing MATS. Following the close of the public comment period, on April 16, 2020, the EPA issued a final rule which finalized the proposed supplemental cost-benefits finding in substantially the form proposed in 2019. The final rule withdrawswithdrew EPA’s 2016 “appropriate-and-necessary” determination as erroneous, but ~~leaves~~left the 2011 MATS rule in place pursuant to D.C. Circuit case law holding that a source category may only be removed from the list of categories to be regulated through a rigorous delisting process that cannot currently be satisfied by EPA. ~~EPA’s final action will almost certainly be challenged~~Upon taking office, the Biden Administration in January 2021 directed the ~~courts, some~~EPA to review the previous Administration’s actions on various environmental matters including the withdrawal of ~~which has already begun, both by those who favor retention of~~the “appropriate and necessary” determination, for conformity with Biden Administration environmental policy. Nevertheless, legal challenges may continue with respect to the MATS ~~(such as the electric utility industry) and by those who oppose it (such as certain coal interests and deregulatory groups). This litigation~~regulation which could extend uncertainty over the status of MATS for a number of years. Investors should note that any changes to the MATS rule could have a negative impact on our business.

Executive Overview

We remain focused on positioning the Company for short and long-term ~~growth. During 2018, we focused~~growth, including focusing on execution at our customer sites and on continual operation improvement. We continue to make refinements to all of our key products, as we continue to focus on the customer and its operations. As part of our overall strategy, we have a number of initiatives which we believe will be able to drive our short and long-term growth.

Our acquisition of all the patent rights, including all patents and patents pending, domestic and foreign, which forms the basis of our mercury control technology, which acquisition was completed in April 2017 provides a strong foundation for us to seek new customers for product using a two-part mercury control process or to offer licenses on a case by case basis.
In the United States, we continue to seek new utility customers for our technology in order for them to meet the MATS requirements as well as maintaining our contractual arrangements with our current customers. In this regard, during the first quarter of 2021, we announced that we had secured supply contract extensions with two long-term customers.
In Europe, we had been working to penetrate this market through our licensing agreement entered into in March 2018 with one of our primary suppliers. Such arrangement has been terminated effective as of December 6, 2020. We intend to continue to pursue the European market when certain new regulations are expected to take effect in 2021 and 2022 although no assurance can be made that any such efforts will be successful.

On February 25, 2019, we were able to complete the restructuring of our unsecured and secured debt obligations held by AC Midwest Energy LLC extending the maturity dates of these debts until 2022 and eliminating quarterly principal payment requirements. This restructuring reflects the commitment of our financial partner in our efforts to attract new business, manage our present customers and monetize our patent portfolio.

From June through October 2019, we raised $2,600,000 in a private placement offering of 12.0% unsecured convertible promissory notes and warrants sold and issued to certain accredited investors.

In July 2019, we announced that we had initiated patent litigation against defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of certain patents which relate to our two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA^®) process for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants.

In October 2019, we entered into a license and development agreement with ~~an unaffiliated~~a nonrelated third party entity located in Alabama pursuant to which the parties ~~will~~have agreed to work together to develop a plan to commercialize and market certain technology owned by such ~~unaffiliated~~ entity related to the removal of mercury from air and water emissions generated by coal burning power plants.

OnBetween July ~~30,~~ 2020 and January 2021, we ~~executed a multi-year fleetwide license and supply agreement~~entered into agreements with ~~Vistra Corp. (“Vistra”), one~~each of the four major utility defendants in the patent litigation commenced in 2019 which agreements included certain monetary arrangements and pursuant to which we have dismissed all claims brought against each of them and their affiliates, and such parties have withdrawn from petitions for IPR with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

One of the agreements has facilitated an ongoing business relationship with that party.
During the first quarter of 2021, we eliminated $1,850,000 of convertible notes through conversions to shares of common stock.
During the first quarter of 2021, we announced that we are in the process of developing a proprietary methane gas emissions control technology which we believe can be adopted within the oil and gas industry. While we have not established a timeline for the introduction of our methane gas emissions control technology, we hope to be able to commercialize our efforts in 2022 and thereafter.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2021, we announced new technologies under development intended to improve the processing of rare earth elements (REEs) in North America. Our new technologies are under development in conjunction with our collaboration with the Alabama third party entity mentioned above and its affiliates. Such technologies focus on improving the cost of extracting rare earth minerals along with improving the environmental footprint of extracting those rare earth elements from their solvent state. While there is no established timeline for the introduction of these technologies after further testing is performed, we hope that if such further testing is successful, these technologies can be commercialized in 2022 and thereafter.

Although we face a host of challenges and risks, we are optimistic about our future and expect our business to grow substantially.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We generated revenues of approximately ~~$2,812,000~~$3,027,000 and ~~$3,596,000~~$1,117,000 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively and approximately $5,812,000 and $8,893,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. Such revenues were primarily derived from sorbent product sales which were approximately ~~$2,781,000~~$2,031,000 and ~~$3,505,000~~$1,070,000 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively and approximately $5,687,000 and $8,582,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase from ~~the~~ prior year ~~period~~ is primarily due to ~~decreased generation~~the increase in ~~the coal fired power sector principally due to renewables and low natural gas prices.~~
Equipment sales and other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $31,600 and $91,100, respectively and approximately $125,100 and $310,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to decreased demonstration revenues in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period last year.capacity factor experienced by our EGU’s.

Costs and Expenses

~~Total costs and expenses~~Cost of sales were approximately ~~$3,937,000~~$1,491,000 and ~~$4,400,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in costs and expenses~~$931,000 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, is primarily attributable to the decrease in cost of sales principally due to the decrease in sales, as well as a decrease in the loss on change in fair value of profit share. This was partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expense and interest expense. Total costs and expenses were approximately $9,615,000 and $13,502,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the decrease in cost of sales principally due to the decrease in sales, as well as a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and a gain on change in fair value of profit share. This was partially offset by increases in interest expense.
Cost of sales were approximately $1,882,000 and $2,478,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and approximately $4,198,000 and $6,439,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This ~~year to date the decrease~~increase in cost of sales is primarily attributable to ~~decreased~~the increase in sorbent product sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately ~~$1,271,000~~$1,453,000 and ~~$1,186,000~~$1,172,000 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses ~~for the three months ended September 30, 2020~~ is primarily attributed to an increase in ~~stock-based compensation compared to the comparable period of 2019.

~~(Gain) loss~~Loss on change in fair value of profit share liability (relating to the restructured unsecured debt obligation held by AC Midwest Energy LLC) were approximately ~~$111,000~~$121,000 and ~~$113,000~~$124,000 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively and approximately $(141,000) and $256,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. The change is primarily attributed to ~~a decrease~~an increase in the fair value of the profit share liability. There were no significant changes to the underlying model during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Gain on forgiveness of debt of $299,300 relates to the loan proceeds we received in April 2020 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act. Such loan was forgiven in January 2021 pursuant to the applicable PPP requirements.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ we had a net loss of approximately ~~$1,125,000~~$418,000 and ~~$804,000,~~$1,774,000, respectively. Such ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~a decrease~~an increase in revenues, ~~for~~improved profit margin and the ~~three-month period.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately ~~$319,000~~$1,982,000 in cash on our balance sheet at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to approximately ~~$1,499,000~~$591,000 at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Total current assets were approximately ~~$2,453,000~~$4,005,000 and total current liabilities were approximately ~~$3,151,000~~$3,521,000 at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021, resulting in working capital of approximately $484,000. This compares to total current assets of approximately $2,375,000 and total current liabilities of approximately $3,359,000 at December 31, 2020, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $698,000. This compares to total current assets of approximately $3,552,000 and total current liabilities of approximately $3,854,000 at December 31, 2019, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $302,000.$984,000. Our accumulated deficit was approximately ~~$61.5~~$63.9 million at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~$57.7~~$63.5 million at December 31, ~~2019. Additionally, we had a net loss in the amount of approximately $3,803,000 and cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,538,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.~~
During 2018, we restructured convertible notes totaling $560,000 into new loans that mature in 2023. In February 2019, we completed the restructuring of our unsecured and secured debt obligations held by a principal shareholder, extending the maturity dates of these debts and the remaining convertible notes until 2022 and eliminating quarterly principal payment requirements. From June through October 2019, we sold $2,600,000 new convertible notes which mature in 2024 to investors. Nevertheless, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements included with this report, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.5 million and a negative working capital of approximately $696,000 at September 30, 2020. Additionally, we had a net loss in the amount of approximately ~~$3.8 million~~$418,000 and cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities of ~~$1.5 million~~approximately $888,000 for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern~~March 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we issued 3,700,000 shares of common stock in exchange for ~~the next twelve months from the issuance~~$1,850,000 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we anticipate continued significant revenues for products to be used in MATS compliance activities, no assurances can be given that we can obtain sufficient working capital through these activities and additional financing may be needed to meet its obligations. In February 2020, we closed on a one-year secured loan with a bank in the principal amount of $200,000, and in April 2020, we received loan proceeds in the amount of $299,300 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act which was enacted on March 27, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The principal and accrued interest under the PPP Loan is forgivable if we use the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes during an 8 or 24 week period from the date of the loan, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and we otherwise comply with the PPP requirements. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, we must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding our compliance with applicable requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing loans, we may need to raise additional equity or debt financing. While we believe in our ability to raise additional funds, no assurances can be given that we can maintain sufficient working capital through these efforts, or that the continued implementation of our business plan will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations.convertible notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we consider and are including herein Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure. We view Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest and financing fees, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation, and other non-cash income and expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, debtholders and others to evaluate and compare ongoing operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our asset base, any asset disposals or impairments, stock based compensation and other non-cash income and expense items associated with our reliance on issuing equity-linked debt securities to fund our working capital.

Table of Contents

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies’ measure of Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating our performance, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and other GAAP results. In the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help our investors and others more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations.

The following table shows our reconciliation of Net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (who is the same person), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are common to many small companies: (i) lack of a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with the Company’s reporting requirements; and (ii) insufficient written documentation or training of our internal control policies and procedures which provide staff with guidance or framework for accounting and disclosing financial transactions.

31
~~Table of Contents~~
Despite the existence of the material weaknesses above, we believe that the consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except the updated business processes and internal controls made in support of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

Certain actions have been taken to address certain aspects of the material weaknesses disclosed above. As of January 1, 2020, we replaced our previous accounting software with a more efficient software package to manage our business activities and accounting needs. Although we no longer have a full-time CFO, during the fourth quarter of 2019 we hired a new full-time Controller at our Corsicana, Texas location, closed our Lewis Center, Ohio office and moved our corporate headquarters to our Corsicana, Texas address which has allowed us to consolidate our manufacturing and distribution activities, bookkeeping and accounting at one location. As of October 21, 2020, our Controller was appointed and promoted to Chief Accounting Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we hired a financial consulting firm to assist us in bookkeeping and preparing financial statements for our SEC filings, assist us in evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting and assist us in other related matters. We continue to actively plan for and implement additional control procedures to improve our overall control environment and expect these efforts to continue throughout ~~2020~~2021 and beyond. Due to the nature of the remediation process, the need to have sufficient resources (cash or otherwise) to devote to such efforts, and the need to allow adequate time after implementation to evaluate and test the effectiveness of the controls, no assurance can be given as to the timing of achievement of remediation.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

~~Reference is hereby made~~See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” to ~~the Annual Report on Form 10-K~~our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for ~~the year ended December 31, 2019 for information on patent litigation initiated by us on July 17, 2019 against certain defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District~~a summary of Delaware for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 10,343,114 (the “‘114 Patent”) and 8,168,147 (the “‘147 Patent”) owned by the Company. In the lawsuit, the Company alleges that each of the defendants has willfully infringed the Company’s ‘114 Patent and ‘147 Patent and seeks a permanent injunction from further acts of infringement and monetary damages. Such litigation is currently pending and in its early stages.
On April 21, 2020, NRG Energy, Inc., Talen Energy Corporation and Vistra Energy Corp., three of the defendants in the above action, filed two petitions for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ‘114 Patent. On May 27, 2020, such defendants filed two additional petitions for IPR with the USPTO, seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ‘147 Patent. On or about July 15, 2020, AEP Generation Resources, Inc., another defendant in the above action, filed four petitions for IPR with the USPTO, seeking to invalidate certain claims to the ‘114 Patent and ‘147 Patent.
~~An IPR is a~~ trial proceeding for challenging the validity of a US patent before the Patent and Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) of the USPTO. To institute an IPR, the Board must determine that the information presented in the petition shows there is a reasonable likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with respect to at least one of the claims challenged in the petition. If the proceeding is instituted and not dismissed, a final determination by the Board will be issued within one year which may be extended for good cause.
On July 30, 2020, the Company and Vistra Corp. executed a multi-year fleetwide license and supply agreement to provide Vistra a non-exclusive license to certain Company patents for use in connection with Vistra’s coal-fired power plants, and to facilitate the parties’ ongoing business relationship. Such patents licensed to Vistra relate to the Company’s two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA^®) process for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants. The Company has dismissed all claims brought against Vistra in the above referenced patent litigation and Vistra has agreed to withdraw from petitions for IPR filed with the USPTO.
On October 26, 2020, and with respect to the two IPRs filed on April 21, 2020, the Board determined that the petitioners demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of prevailing with respect to at least one claim of the ‘114 Patent and, accordingly, instituted such IPRs.
On November 9, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with another defendant to provide such defendant and its affiliated entities a non-exclusive license to certain Company patents (related to the Company’s two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA^®) ~~process)~~ ~~for use in connection with such parties’ coal-fired power plants. The Company has agreed to~~ dismiss all claims brought against such defendant and its affiliated entities in the above referenced patent litigation and such defendant has agreed to withdraw from petitions for IPR filed with the USPTO.
~~The above described proceedings will continue with respect to the other parties involved.~~
~~Other than the foregoing, there are no material pending~~our legal proceedings, to which ~~we are a party or to which any of our property~~ is ~~subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated~~incorporated by ~~governmental authorities.~~reference herein.
