PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus, including the discussion of “Risk Factors” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Our Company
 
GlyEco, Inc. (“GlyEco,” the “Company,” “we” or the “registrant”) is a green chemistry company that collects and recycles waste glycol into a reusable product that is sold to third party customers in the automotive and industrial end markets.  Our proprietary technology, GlyEco TechnologyTM, allows us to recycle all five major types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable in any glycol application. We are dedicated to conserving natural resources, limiting liability for waste generators, safeguarding the environment, and creating valuable green products.

Our History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2011. On October 21, 2011, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Credits, Inc. ("ECVL"). On November 21, 2011, ECVL merged itself into the Company (the "Reincorporation"). Upon the consummation of the Reincorporation, the Company was the surviving corporation and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company replaced the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of ECVL.
 
On November 28, 2011, the Company consummated a reverse triangular merger (the "Merger" or "Transaction") as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 21, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), with GRT Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Global Recycling Technologies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation and privately-held operating subsidiary ("Global Recycling").

Global Recycling was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 11, 2007. GRT Acquisition, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2011 for the purpose of consummating the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GRT Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into Global Recycling, with Global Recycling being the surviving corporation and which resulted in Global Recycling becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
  
On December 30, 2011, Global Recycling's wholly owned subsidiary, Global Acquisition Corp. #6 ("Global Sub #6"), a Delaware corporation, was dissolved. Global Sub #6 ceased operations on December 31, 2009, when the assets (including rights to additive formula and goodwill) were sold in an exchange for the common shares of Global Recycling. Prior to its sale, Global Sub #6 operated as a chemical company selling additives used in producing antifreeze and heat transfer fluid from recycled ethylene glycol. Sales of additives were discontinued upon the sale of the assets effective December 31, 2009.
 
On January 9, 2012, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Recycling, consummated a merger pursuant to which Global Recycling merged with and into the Company (the "Global Merger"), with the Company being the surviving entity. The 11,591,958 shares of common stock of Global Recycling (constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Recycling on the effective date of the Global Merger) held by the Company pursuant to the reverse merger consummated on November 28, 2011, were cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.

Our Industry

Our founders began developing innovative new methods for recycling glycols in 1999. We saw a need in the market to improve the quality of recycled glycol and to clean more types of waste glycol in a cost efficient manner. Each type of industrial waste glycol contains a different set of impurities which traditional waste antifreeze processing just does not clean effectively. And, many of the contaminants left behind using these processes, such as esters, organic acids and high dissolved solids, leave the recycled material risky to use in vehicles or machinery.
 
We spent ten years on research and development, independent market validation, and financial analysis to determine the most advantageous business model for exploiting what we believe to be groundbreaking technologies. The result is our breakthrough patent-pending processing system, GlyEco TechnologyTM. Our proprietary technology removes challenging pollutants from waste glycol, including esters, organic acids, high dissolved solids and high-undissolved solids. Our technology also has the added benefit of clearing oil/hydrocarbons, additives and dyes that are typically found in used engine coolants. Our quality assurance and control program, which includes independent lab testing, seeks to ensure consistently high quality, American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) standard compliant recycled material.

We have received verification from multiple American Association for Laboratory accredited (A2LA) laboratories that our recycled glycol meets the specifications of the ASTM E1177 Type EG-1 standard, which is the official standard for refinery-grade glycol.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock, any warrants to purchase our common stock, or any other security that may be issued by us involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
 
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for us to forecast accurately our operating results.  Our planned expense levels are, and will continue to be, based in part on our expectations, which are difficult to forecast accurately based on our stage of development and factors outside of our control.  We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected developments.  Further, business development expenses may increase significantly as we expand operations.  To the extent that any unexpected expenses precede, or are not rapidly followed by, a corresponding increase in revenue, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
 
We have a history of losses that may continue, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.  We have incurred net losses since our inception.  The Company had a net loss of approximately $4,013,127 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.  There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable.  We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
 
Our success depends on our ability to expand, operate, and manage successfully our operations.  Our success depends on our ability to expand, operate, and manage successfully our operations.  Our ability to expand successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:
 
           the continued development of our business;
 
•           the hiring, training, and retention of additional personnel;
 
•           the ability to enhance our operational, financial, and management systems;
 
•           the availability of adequate financing;
 
•           competitive factors;
 
•           general economic and business conditions; and
 
•           the ability to fully implement plans for additional revenue generation.
 
Our independent auditors included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph in their opinion about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. As of March 31,June 30 , 2014, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. Ultimately, we hope to achieve viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized and production capacity is increased at facilities added in 2013. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Recurring losses from operations raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In their report dated April 15, 2014, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, concerning the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management plans to raise additional funds through offering our shares of capital stock in private and/or public offerings of our securities and through debt financing, if available and needed. Our continued net operating losses increases the difficulty in meeting our plans and we might not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, which could materially adversely affect our business and operations .
 
 
You may suffer significant dilution if we raise additional capital.  If we raise additional capital, we expect it will be necessary for us to issue additional equity or convertible debt securities.  If we issue equity or convertible debt securities, the price at which we offer such securities may not bear any relationship to our value, the net tangible book value per share may decrease, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted, and any equity securities we may issue in such offering or upon conversion of convertible debt securities issued in such offering, may have rights, preferences, or privileges with respect to liquidation, dividends, redemption, voting, and other matters that are senior to or more advantageous than our common stock.
 
We may need to obtain additional funding to continue to implement our business strategy. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, our business operations may be harmed. We may require additional funds to sustain our operations and institute our business plan. We anticipate incurring monthly operating expenses, which includes compensation to be paid to executives, additional employees, and consultants, and legal and accounting costs, at an approximate amount of $200,000 per month, for an indefinite period of time.  Additional capital will be required to effectively support our operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. Even if we do receive additional financing, it may not be sufficient to sustain or expand our development operations or continue our business operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans.
 
Our business model is new and unproven, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. Our proposed operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a new business enterprise. We have had limited revenues to date on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Although our management has experience operating various businesses, there can be no assurance that we will perform in a manner similar to prior projects owned or operated by our management. In addition, such other businesses’ prior performance is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced by the Company or our stockholders with respect to an investment in our securities. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the startup of new businesses and the environment in which we will operate.  Some of these risks relate to the potential inability to:
 
nremain informed of and maintain compliance with federal, state, local, and foreign government regulations;

nacquire a sufficient number of customers and generate adequate revenue to achieve profitability; and

novercome resistance to change by customers

As a result of our limited operating history, our plan for growth, and the competitive nature of the markets in which we plan to compete, financial projections would be of limited value in anticipating future revenue, capital requirements, and operating expenses. Further, our planned capital requirements and expense levels are difficult to forecast accurately due to our current stage of development. To the extent that these expenditures precede or are not rapidly followed by a corresponding increase in revenue or additional sources of financing, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
 
If we do not achieve broad market acceptance of our products and services, we may not be successful.  Although our products and services will serve existing needs, our delivery of these products and services is unique and subject to broad market acceptance.  As is typical of any new product or service, the demand for and market acceptance of these products and services are highly uncertain.  We cannot assure you that any of our products and services will be commercialized on a widespread basis.  The commercial acceptance of our products and services may be affected by a number of factors, including the willingness of entities to provide us with waste glycol and businessbusinesses to be willing to pay a premium for our proprietary recycled output.  If the markets for our products and services fail to develop on a meaningful basis, if they develop more slowly than we anticipate, or if our products and services fail to achieve sufficient market acceptance, our business and future results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
 
Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights or defend against third-party allegations of infringement may be costly.  Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our production process in the United States and other countries.  We have filed applications for patents covering our process.  Patents may not be issued for any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us, and the claims allowed under any issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology.  Any issued patents owned by or licensed to us may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, and the rights under these patents may not provide us with competitive advantages.  In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies.  Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture increased market position.  We could incur substantial costs to defend suits brought against us or suits in which we may assert our patent rights against others.  An unfavorable outcome of any such litigation could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
We may also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how with which we seek to protect our processes, in part by confidentiality agreements with our collaborators, employees, and consultants.  Nevertheless, these agreements afford only limited protection, and the actions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate.  These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach.  In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors.  As a result, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary technologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
 
In addition, policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive.  Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets, or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.  We cannot assure you that the outcome of any litigation will be in our favor.  Intellectual property litigation may be costly and may divert management attention, as well as expend our other resources away from our business.  An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects, and reputation.  In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to recover them from other parties.  The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
 
Our business plan and our growth rely on being able to procure significant waste glycol. Although we believe that waste glycol in excess of the quantities that we will need to support our growth will be available, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain such quantities. Any failure to obtain such quantities could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, or financial results.

Disruptions in the supply of feedstock or significant increases in the prices of feedstock could have an adverse effect on our business. We depend on the continuing availability of raw materials, including feedstock, to continue production and sales. A serious disruption in supply of feedstock, or significant increases in the prices of feedstock, could significantly reduce the availability of raw materials at our processing centers. Additionally, increases in production costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, there are enough competitors vying for waste antifreeze from the automotive industry that supply can be difficult to find at times. Similar supply and feedstock cost issues have been seen in the waste lube oil market.
 
Operation of our New Jersey processing center and the GlyEco Technology™ at our New Jersey processing center are dependent upon a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement entered into with Full Circle Manufacturing Group, Inc. Our New Jersey processing center is currently operated at our direction by Full Circle Manufacturing Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Full Circle”), pursuant to the terms of a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement entered into on December 10, 2012, between Full Circle and GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #4, an Arizona corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Our operation of the New Jersey processing center and the implementation of the GlyEco Technology™ at our New Jersey processing center are dependent upon this agreement remaining in effect. The agreement is subject to termination by Full Circle should we materially breach any of its terms.

We can provide no assurance that the upgrades to our GlyEco Technology™ at our New Jersey processing center will go as planned. While we expect the upgrades to our GlyEco Technology™ to produce increased volumes of ASTM E1177 Type EG-1 material and other glycol products, the upgrades at our New Jersey processing center may fail to produce such increased volumes due to circumstances either within or outside of our control. Any such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, or financial results.
 

Environmental, health and safety requirements could expose us to material obligations and liabilities and affect our profitability. We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and occupational health and safety. The consequence for violating such requirements can be material. We have made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental and health and safety requirements. In addition, if a release of hazardous substances occurs on or from our properties or any offsite disposal location where our wastes have been disposed, or if contamination from prior activities is discovered at any of our properties or third-party owned properties that we or our predecessors formerly owned or operated, we may be subject to liability arising out of such conditions and the amount of such liability could be material. Liability can include, for example, costs of investigation and cleanup of the contamination, natural resource damages, damage to properties and personal injuries.

Failure to obtain and/or maintain all necessary licenses and permits may significantly affect our profitability. The regulation of our industry varies from state to state. Some states require that a license or permit be obtained in order to process waste glycol. Failure to obtain and/or maintain such permits may significantly affect our profitably and could also expose us to material liabilities.
 
We are dependent upon our key personnel and our shares have no voting rights except as required by applicable law. Our success is largely dependent upon the personal efforts and abilities of our management and certain other key personnel as the recycled glycol industry is complex. We are substantially dependent upon the continued services of John Lorenz, our founder, and Chief Executive Officer. As a director and our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lorenz will have significant authority to control our business strategy and our other business decisions. The holders of any of our equity securities will have no right or power to take part in the management of the Company, unless required by applicable law or our governing documents. Accordingly, no prospective investor should acquire any of our equity securities without being willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to Mr. Lorenz. Additionally, we are dependent upon Richard Geib, our Chief Technical Officer. Mr. Geib is one of the members of our team who has significant contacts and experience in the recycled glycol industry. To date, we have not entered into Employment Agreements with Messrs. Lorenz and Geib. The loss of Messrs. Lorenz or Geib could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  We intend to explore key-man insurance on such individuals, but we presently have no such insurance and there can be no assurance that such individuals are insurable or insurable at commercially reasonable rates.
 
Our ability to operate the Company effectively could be impaired if we fail to attract additional key personnel. Our ability to operate our businesses and implement our strategies depends, in part, on the efforts of our management and certain other key personnel. However, our future success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, including research professionals, technical sales professionals, and engineers. Our failure to attract or retain these additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business or business prospects.
 
Messrs. Lorenz and Geib have agreed to certain invention assignment and confidentiality restrictions that we may not be able to enforce. Messrs. Lorenz and Geib are not parties to and are not restricted by any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement. As the primary members of our management team, Messrs. Lorenz and Geib will be exposed to all of our confidential information and will develop all of our corporate strategies. We cannot be certain that Messrs. Lorenz or Geib will not compete with the Company in the future. Moreover, we cannot be certain that the invention assignment and confidentiality restrictions set forth in the nondisclosure agreements will be enforceable under applicable law. Even if a dispute arises that is ultimately resolved in our favor, any litigation associated with such invention assignment, and confidentiality restrictions could be time consuming, costly, and distract our focus from effectuating our business plan.
 
Our inability to obtain other raw materials, component parts, and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers would adversely affect our ability to process glycol. We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers to be used in the processing of our products. In addition, we purchase certain finished goods from suppliers. Changes in our relationships with suppliers or increases in the costs of purchased raw materials, component parts, or finished goods could result in processing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies, or our inability to market products. In addition, our profit margins would decrease if prices of purchased raw materials, component parts, or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on those increases to our customers.

We may continue to grow through acquisitions, which would either dilute ownership of our existing stockholders or increase interest expense. In connection with any future acquisitions, we may have to pay cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities to pay for the acquisition, any of which could adversely affect our financial results.  The issuance or sale of equity or issuance of debt to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our stockholders, perhaps significantly depending on the terms of such acquisition.  The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations.
 

Our efforts to grow through acquisitions may be affected by a decrease in qualified targets and an increase of cost to acquire. We may not be able to continue to identify attractive acquisition opportunities or successfully acquire those opportunities identified. Also, competition for acquisition targets may escalate, increasing our cost of making further acquisitions or causing us to refrain from making additional acquisitions.

Businesses we acquire may have undisclosed liabilities.   In pursuing our acquisition strategy, our due diligence investigations of the acquisition candidates may fail to discover certain undisclosed liabilities. If we acquire a company having undisclosed liabilities such as environmental, remediation or contractual, as a successor owner we may be responsible for such undisclosed liabilities. We try to minimize our exposure to such liabilities when we can by conducting due diligence, by obtaining indemnification from each sellers of the acquired companies, by deferring payment of a portion of the purchase price as security for the indemnification and by acquiring only specified assets. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain indemnification or that any indemnification obtained will be enforceable, collectible or sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset any undisclosed liabilities arising from our acquisitions.

Litigation brought by third parties claiming infringement of their intellectual property rights or trying to invalidate intellectual property rights owned or used by us may be costly and time consuming. We may face lawsuits from time to time alleging that our products infringe on third-party intellectual property, and/or seeking to invalidate or limit our ability to use our intellectual property. If we become involved in litigation, we may incur substantial expense defending these claims and the proceedings may divert the attention of management, even if we prevail. An adverse determination in proceedings of this type could subject us to significant liabilities, allow our competitors to market competitive products without a license from us, prohibit us from marketing our products or require us to seek licenses from third parties that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

We may not be able to manage our growth. We believe that our future success depends on our ability to manage the rapid growth that we have experienced, and the continued growth that we expect to experience organically and through acquisitions. Our growth places additional demands and responsibilities on our management to, among other things, maintain existing customers and attract new customers, recruit, retain and effectively manage employees, as well as expand operations and integrate customer support and financial control systems. The following factors could present difficulties to us: lack of sufficient executive-level personnel to the facility level, increased administrative burden, lead times associated with acquiring additional equipment; availability of suitable acquisition candidates; sufficient availability of trucks, rail cars, and processing equipment to receive and ship glycol; and the ability to provide focused service attention to our customers.
 
We are dependent on third parties for the manufacturing of our equipment. We do not manufacture our equipment. Accordingly, we rely on a number of third party suppliers to manufacture equipment. The supply of third party equipment could be interrupted or halted by operational problems of such suppliers or a significant decline in their financial condition. If we are not able to obtain equipment, we may not be able to compete successfully for new business, complete existing engagements profitably, or retain our existing customers. Additionally, if we are provided with defective equipment, we may be subject to reputational damage or product liability claims which may negatively impact our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Our failure to keep pace with technological developments may adversely affect our operations and financial results. We believe that we have made a significant technological advance in the processing of waste glycol; however, others may be developing future technological advances. The introduction of products or processes utilizing new technologies we are not aware of or have considered could render our existing products or processes obsolete or unmarketable. Our success will depend upon our ability to take advantage of our technological developments and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. We may not be successful in identifying, developing, and marketing new products, applications, and processes and product or process enhancements. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction, and marketing of product or process enhancements or new products, applications, or processes. Our products, applications, or processes may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected if we were to incur delays in developing new products, applications, or processes or product or process enhancements or if our products do not gain market acceptance.
 
We may face significant competition. Currently, there are approximately 25 to 30 small and mid-sized companies throughout North America that recycle glycol, antifreeze, and/or other glycol-based liquids. None of these companies presently are dominant in the industry and the industry is generally fragmented and in a preliminary stage of development. However, there can be no assurance that large, well-recognized companies with substantial resources and established relationships will not enter into our market and compete with us. It is possible that a group will attempt to purchase multiple glycol recycling companies as part of an overall roll-up business strategy. Additionally, potential competitors may have greater financial, technical, marketing, and sales resources that will permit them to (i) react more quickly to emerging product and service offerings and changes in customer requirements, and (ii) devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of competing products or services. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share.
 
 
We have limited control over the prices that we charge for our products. The prices of glycol in 2012 and 2013 were higher than the average sales price over the last nine or ten years.  The primary force driving those high prices was a tight worldwide supply/demand balance and a shortage of supply/capacity in the United States. We expect that new plants throughout the world may be opened in the next few years for virgin glycol production.  We expect that these new plants will return supply/demand to a reasonable balance. Accordingly, we expect that the prices that we will be able to charge for our products will decline over time, which could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our profitability. Additionally, if our products gain acceptance and attract the attention of competitors, we may experience pressure to decrease the prices we charge for our products, which could adversely affect our revenue and our gross margin. If we are unable to offer our products at acceptable prices, or if we fail to offer additional products with sufficient profit margins, our revenue growth will slow, our margins may shrink, and our business and financial results will suffer.
 
Due to the rising cost of ethylene glycol, antifreeze producers are offering base fluids other than ethylene glycol. The primary competing base fluid is glycerin. Glycerin is becoming more available in the market because it is a by-product of bio-diesel fuel production, which is growing rapidly in the United States. Companies such as Cummins produce and market a glycerin-based antifreeze. Glycerin has properties similar to those of ethylene glycol when it is diluted with water, as in antifreeze. Major changes would have to be made in the industry if it were to shift to an all glycerin base fluid. If such other base fluids, like glycerin, become accepted in the marketplace, competition could increase, demand could fall, and our prices could be adversely affected. Accordingly, if such a situation occurs, our revenue growth will slow, our margins will shrink, and our business and financial results will suffer.

If the use of our recycled glycol harms people or equipment, we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims. We could face costly and damaging claims arising from applicable laws governing our products and operations. Because our industry is highly regulated, if our products do not comply with regulatory requirements, we may be exposed to product liability risk. Our product liability insurance may not cover all potential liabilities or may not completely cover any liability arising from any such litigation.  Moreover, we may not have access to liability insurance or be able to maintain the insurance on acceptable terms.
 
A continued downturn in the United States economy could have a material adverse effect on our ability to effectuate our business plan and our financial results. Our ability to achieve our goals depends heavily on varying conditions in the United States economy. The United States economy is currently experiencing a prolonged downturn and there can be no assurance that the United States economy will emerge from such downturn and experience significant levels of growth in the near future. Certain end-use applications for glycol experience demand cycles that are highly correlated to the general economic environment, which is sensitive to a number of factors outside of our control. Additionally, the industrial markets in which we compete are subject to considerable cyclicality, and move in response to cycles in the overall business environment. Therefore, downturns in the United States economy are likely to result in decreases in demand for our products. A continued downturn or deepening of the downturn could decrease demand for our products or could otherwise adversely affect the prices at which we charge for recycled glycol. Moreover, a continued downturn or deepening of the downturn in the specific areas of the economy in which we operate our business, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to effectuate our business plan and our financial results. We are not able to predict the timing, extent, and duration of the economic cycles in the markets in which we operate.
 
Market regulation may affect our business plan. We intend to conduct business in the glycol recycling industry in North America. We are unable to predict changes in governmental regulations or policies that may influence or inhibit our ability to deliver compliant products and services to market. The recycled glycol industry is highly regulated and is subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. Forced changes through legislation and regulations adopted by United States, state, or foreign governmental agencies may disrupt our business processes and strategies. Continued compliance with newly enacted rules and regulations could be costly and require complex changes in our products and operations. We are unable to predict future rules or regulations with any certainty or to predict the effect they would have on our business, products, or services. Accordingly, there is significant uncertainty concerning competitive pressures and the impact on our actual and prospective customers. There can be no assurance that heightened or new regulations will not come into effect or that such regulation will not have a detrimental impact on the Company and our planned business.

If we cannot maintain adequate insurance coverage, we will be unable to continue certain operations. Our business exposes us to various risks, including claims for causing damage to property and injuries to persons that may involve allegations of negligence or professional errors or omissions in the performance of our services. Such claims could be substantial. We believe that our insurance coverage is presently adequate and similar to, or greater than, the coverage maintained by other similarly situated companies in our industry. If we are unable to obtain adequate or required insurance coverage in the future, or if such insurance is not available at affordable rates, we could be in violation of permit conditions or the other requirements of environmental laws, rules, and regulations under which we operate. Such violations could render us unable to continue our operations. These events could result in an inability to operate certain assets and significantly impair our financial condition.
 

Our insurance policies do not cover all losses, costs, or liabilities that we may experience. We maintain insurance coverage, but these policies do not cover all of our potential losses, costs, or liabilities. We could suffer losses for uninsurable or uninsured risks, or in amounts in excess of our existing insurance coverage, which would significantly affect our financial performance. Our insurance policies also have deductibles and self-retention limits that could expose us to significant financial expense. Our ability to maintain adequate insurance may be affected by conditions in the insurance market over which we have no control. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our business requires that we maintain various types of insurance. If such insurance is not available or not available on economically acceptable terms, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

Current uncertainty in the global financial markets and the global economy may negatively affect our financial results. Current uncertainty in the global financial markets and economy may negatively affect our financial results. These macroeconomic developments could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition in a number of ways which, in turn, could adversely affect our stock price. A prolonged period of economic decline could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and exacerbate some of the other risk factors described herein. Our customers may defer purchases of our products, licenses, and services in response to tighter credit and negative financial news or reduce their demand for them. Our customers may also not be able to obtain adequate access to credit, which could affect their ability to make timely payments to us or ultimately cause the customer to file for protection from creditors under applicable insolvency or bankruptcy laws. We rely upon timely payment by our customers in order to be able to make timely payments to our vendors and employees.

In addition, our operating results and financial condition could be negatively affected if, as a result of economic conditions, either:

nthe demand for, and prices of, our products, licenses, or services are reduced as a result of actions by our competitors or otherwise; or

nour financial counterparts or other contractual counterparties are unable to, or do not, meet their contractual commitments to us.
  
Certain conflicts of interests exist. Certain persons or entities affiliated with the law firms that have acted as corporate counsel or securities counsel and accounting consultants to the Company, directly or indirectly, own shares of our capital stock and/or options or agreements to acquire shares of our capital stock. Potential conflicts exist by virtue of these ownership positions by legal service providers.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer. In the ordinary course of business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations and the services we provide to customers, and damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our business/operating margins, revenues and competitive position.

Seasonal weather conditions and natural disasters could severely disrupt normal operations and harm our business. We currently operate in the northern, mid-western, and eastern United States. These areas are adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions, primarily in the winter and spring. During periods of heavy snow, ice, or rain, our customers may curtail their operations or we may be unable to move our trucks to provide services, thereby reducing demand for, or our ability to provide services and generate revenues. The regions in which we operate have in the past been, and may in the future be, affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes, windstorms, floods, and tornadoes. Future natural disasters or inclement weather conditions could severely disrupt the normal operation of our, or our customers’, business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Operational and Structural Risks
 
The introduction of new accounting rules, laws or regulations could adversely impact our results of operations.  Complying with new accounting rules, laws or regulations could adversely impact our results of operations or cause unanticipated fluctuations in our results of operations in future periods.
 
 
We can provide no assurances as to our future financial performance or the investment result of a purchase of our common stock.  Any projected results of operations involve significant risks and uncertainty, should be considered speculative, and depend on various assumptions which may not be correct.  The future performance of our Company and the return on our common stock depends on a complex series of events that are beyond our control and that may or may not occur.  Actual results for any period may or may not approximate any assumptions that are made and may differ significantly from such assumptions.  We can provide no assurance or prediction as to our future profitability or to the ultimate success of an investment in our common stock.
 
The compensation we pay to our executive officers and employees will likely increase, which will affect our future profitability.  We believe that the compensation we have historically paid to our executive officers is within the lower quartile of compensation paid by peer companies.  An increase in compensation and bonuses payable to our executive officers and employees could decrease our net income.
 
As a public reporting company, we are subject to corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.  We may face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), as well as new rules and regulations subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  These laws, rules, and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future.  We are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of SOX (“Section 404”).  We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.  Section 404 requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year.  The internal control report for the year ended December 31, 2013 included disclosure of a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified and are currently working to remediate.  Failure to comply, or any additional adverse results from such evaluation, could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.  We strive to continuously evaluate and improve our control structure to help ensure that we comply with Section 404.  The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations is expected to remain substantial.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules, and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting, and similar matters.  Failure to comply with these laws, rules, and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and the value of our securities.
 
As a public company, we will have significant operating costs relating to compliance requirements and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.  Our management has only limited experience operating the Company as a public company.  To operate effectively, we will be required to continue to implement changes in certain aspects of our business and develop, hire, manage, and train management level and other employees to comply with on-going public company requirements.  Failure to take such actions, or delay in the implementation thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
SOX, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, imposes various requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives.  Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.
 

There is no active market for our common stock. One may never develop or if developed, be sustained and you could lose your investment in our common stock. Currently, our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “GLYE.” Our common stock currently trades in small volumes. There can be no assurance that any trading market will ever develop or be maintained on the OTCQB. Any trading market that may develop in the future for our common stock will most likely be very volatile; and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant effect on the market. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, some which are beyond our control:

·             actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; 

·             changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance;
 
·             changes in market valuations of similar companies;
 
·             increased competition;
 
·             announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new products or product enhancements;
 
·             loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions;
 
·             additions or departures of key personnel; and
 
·             the number of shares in our public float.
  
In recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price fluctuations that have oftentimes been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Similarly, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly based upon factors unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our common stock is a "penny stock" under the rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities will be limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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:
 
nthat a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

nthe 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:

nobtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

nmake 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.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

nsets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

nthat the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
 

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.
 
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

DILUTION

We are not offering any shares of our common stock by this prospectus. All shares of the common stock that are being registered are beneficially owned by the selling shareholders and either are issued and outstanding or, in the case of the warrants, will be issued and outstanding upon exercise of the warrants if completed prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement.outstanding. Accordingly, the sale of the registered shares will not have a dilutive effect to potential shareholders since the common stock to be sold will already be issued and outstanding.

As of March 31,June 30 , 2014, our net tangible book value per share is $0.14$0. 16 based on shares outstanding of 51,874,03551, 922,009 and tangible assets of $10,060,590$ 11,165,461 and total liabilities of $2,672,445$2, 924,461 as reported in our latest unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,June 30 , 2014.  If all holders of our outstanding warrants elect to exercise their warrants to purchase shares of our common stock prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement, our pro forma net tangible book value per share would be $0.42.
Pro forma net tangible book value is calculated using current shares outstanding of 51,922,021 and after giving effect to our issuance of common stock upon the exercise of all unexercised warrants up to 22,235,954 shares of common stock to our current shareholders at exercise prices ranging from $0.00001 to $2.50 per warrant. This is based on: (i) total liabilities of $2,672,445; (ii) adjusted total assets of $33,710,490, which includes incoming cash of $23,649,900 from exercise of warrants, plus $10,060,590 of tangible assets as of March 31, 2014; and (iii) adjusted shares outstanding of 74,157,975, based on 51,922,021 shares outstanding on June 13, 2014 plus issuance of 22,235,954 shares upon exercise of all unexercised warrants as of June 13, 2014. This represents an immediate increase of net tangible book value of $0.28 per share to our existing stockholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.    As of March 31,June 30 , 2014, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized from facilities added in 2013.     Our plans to address these matters include, realizing synergies and cost efficiencies with prior year acquisitions, raising additional financing through offering our shares of the Company’s capital stock in private and/or public offerings of our securities and through debt financing if available and needed. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any financings or that such financings will be sufficient to sustain our business operation or permit the Company to implement our intended business strategy.    The Company plans to become profitable by upgrading the capacity and capabilities at our existing operating facilities, continuing to implement our patent-pending technology in international markets, and acquiring profitable glycol recycling companies.   During 2014, we have already realized significant increases in production capacity at some of our facilities.  We intend to expand customer and supplier bases once operational capacity and capabilities have been upgraded and fully integrated.

The Company does not currently have sufficient capital to sustain expected operations and acquisitions for the next 12 months. To date, the Company has financed our operations and investing activities through private sales of our securities exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30 , 2014, the Company raised $0 from private sales of our securities.
 
Frenkel Convertible Note

On March 14, 2014, the Series AA Preferred Stock was converted under the Conversion Agreement into 2,342,750 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.02 per share.  As inducement for the redemption of the Series AA Preferred Stock, an additional 262,763 shares of Common Stock were issued at a price of $1.02 per share.  Additionally, per the terms of the Conversion Agreement, a three-year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock was issued for each share of Common Stock received in the conversion with each such warrant having an exercise price of $1.00; therefore, a warrant to purchase 2,605,513 shares of Common Stock was issued in connection with the conversion.  For a more detailed discussion of the Convertible Note and Series AA Preferred Stock, please see note 8 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and note 10 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Comparison of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Operating Activities
 
The Company had negative cash flow from operations in 2013 of approximately $ (1,452,692)$( 1,452,692) compared to negative cash flows from operations of $ (1,769,669)$( 1,769,669) in 2012. The decrease in negative operating cash flow from 2012 to 2013 is due to an increase in the net loss that was less than the increase in non-cash expenses, primarily an increase in stock-based compensation.
 
Investing Activities
 
The Company had capital expenditures of $(3,243,675) in 2013 and $ (2,057,781)$(2,057,781) in 2012.  The increase in capital expenditures is attributable to our implementation of our T1 technology at our NJ facility, expansion through acquisition and the establishment of the necessary infrastructure for our current and planned future scope of operations.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $7,935,815 and $4,404,264, respectively.  The additional cash provided by financing activities was due to a 5% increase in the number of common shares sold for cash in 2013 as compared to 2012 and at an average price approximately 80% greater in 2013 than 2012.
 
Comparison of cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30 , 2014 and 2013

Operating Activities
 
The Company had negative cash flow from operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30 , 2014, of approximately $(1,704,027)$(1, 653,954 ) compared to negative cash flows from operations of $ (690,219)$(1,122,660 ) for the same period of 2013. The increase in negative cash flow from operations is primarily the result of increased operating expenses in 2013, as discussed above under “Results of Operations.”

Investing Activities
 
The Company had approximately $ (1,627,987)$(2,409,313 ) of capital expenditures for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30 , 2014 compared to  $ (83,988)$(448,598 ) for the same period of 2013.  The increase in capital expenditures is attributable to our implementation of our T1 technology at our NJ facility and the establishment of the necessary infrastructure for our current and planned future scope of operations.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three-monthssix -months ended March 31,June 30 , 2014, and 2013 amounted to $ (70,547)1,667,650 and $1,660,997,$1, 618,914 , respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to the timing of common stock sales for cash in 2013 as compared to noFunds raised from sales of common stock in 2013 were consistent with the proceeds received during June 2014 for cashthe warrant exercise that was completed in the first quarter ofJuly 2014.

Contractual Obligations
 
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We have identified in the financial statements contained in this document certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management reviews with the audit committee the selection, application and disclosure of critical accounting policies.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  These areas include going concern,  collectability of accounts receivable, inventory, impairment of goodwill, carrying amounts and useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, and deferred taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas, and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated.
 
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:

Going Concern

The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  As discussed below, certain conditions currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31,June 30 , 2014, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations.  Ultimately, we hope to achieve viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized from the facilities added or expanded in 2013.2013 and 2014 . The accompanyingunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In their report dated April 15, 2014, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, concerningexpressing uncertainty regarding the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern.

Management's plans to address these matters include raising additional financing through offering our shares of capital stock in private and/or public offerings of our securities and through debt financing if available and needed. The Company plans to become profitable by realizing synergies and cost reduction opportunities associated with acquisitions made in 2013 and 2014, upgrading the capacity and capabilities at our existing operating facilities, continuing to implement our patent-pending technology in international markets, and acquiring profitable glycol recycling companies, which are looking to take advantage of the Company's public company status and improve their profitability through a combined synergy. The Company intends to expand customer and supplier bases once operational capacity and capabilities have been upgraded.  Continued operating losses and cash used in operations may impact the realizabilty of long-lived and intangible assets and could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

 
Collectability of Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers from sales of products and is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts totaled $47,927$ 60,138 and $4,892$ 47,927 as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012,, respectively. In order to record our accounts receivable at their net realizable value, we assess their collectability. A considerable amount of judgment is required in order to make this assessment, based on a detailed analysis of the aging of our receivables, the credit worthiness of our customers and our historical bad debts and other adjustments. If economic, industry or specific customer business trends worsen beyond earlier estimates, we increase the allowance for uncollectible accounts by recording additional expense in the period in which we become aware of the new conditions.
 
The majority of our customers are based in the United States. The economic conditions in the United States can significantly impact the recoverability of our accounts receivable.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory consists primarily of used glycol to be recycled, recycled glycol for resale and supplies used in the recycling process that, in each case, are stated at the lower of cost or market approximating cost on a first in, first out basis. Costs include purchase costs, fleet and fuel costs, direct labor, transportation costs and production related costs. The allocation of fixed production overhead costs is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Normal capacity is the production expected to be achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances, taking into account the loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. The actual level of production may be used if it approximates our estimate of normal capacity. Until our production capabilities reach our current expansion plan levels, our estimates of normal capacity are subject to adjustment.   In determining whether inventory valuation issues exist, we consider various factors including estimated quantities of slow-moving inventory by reviewing on-hand quantities, historical sales and production usage. Shifts in production capacities, market trend and conditions, changes in customer preferences or the losses of one or more significant customers are factors that could affect the value of our inventories. These factors could make our estimates of inventory valuation differ from actual results.
 
Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment, or other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. Instances that may lead to an impairment include the following: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset group; (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition; (iii) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset or asset group, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (iv) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset or asset group; (v) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group; or (vi) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

Upon recognition of an event, as previously described, we use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, over the remaining life of the property and equipment and long-lived assets in assessing their recoverability. We measure impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset(s) exceeds the fair value of the asset(s). We primarily employ the two following methodologies for determining the fair value of a long-lived asset: (i) the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties; or (ii) the present value of expected future cash flows grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable independent cash flows.
 
Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.  All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The application of business combination accounting and the assigning of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.  Information obtained during the acquisition due diligence process including historic operating results, projected future results, and the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition are used along with input, in certain circumstances, from valuation specialist.  We use this information along with our industry experience and expected returns in order to estimate the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold or liability settled in a current transaction between willing parties and the present value of expected future cash flows to determine the fair value to be recorded.

The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
 

Stock Options
 
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the value of options and warrants issued to employees and consultants as compensation for services rendered to the Company.  This model uses estimates of volatility, risk free interest rate and the expected term of the options or warrants, along with the current market price of the underlying stock, to estimate the value of the options and warrants on the date of grant.  In addition, the calculation of compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period.  The fair value of the stock-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the awards.  For stock-based awards that vest based on performance conditions, expense is recognized when it is probable that the conditions will be met.
 
The following table summarizes the weighted average of fair value and the significant assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model for options granted in 2013:
  2013 
Weighted average of fair value for options granted $0.44 
Weighted average assumptions used:    
Expected dividend yield  0.0%
Expected volatility  40%
Risk-free interest rate 0.16 to 0.70% 
Expected life (in years) 3 to 5 
Assumptions used in the calculation were determined as follows:
·  expected term is determined under the plain vanilla method using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award as appropriate statistical data required to properly estimate the expected term was not available;
·  expected volatility is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indicescompanies selected by us as representative, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award, due to our limited trading history;
·  risk-free interest rate is used to approximate the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and
·  forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of options granted by us and our analysis of potential future forfeitures.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As of March 31,June 30 , 2014, goodwill and net intangible assets recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet aggregated to $4,455,027$4, 402,571 (of which $835,295 is goodwill that is not subject to amortization).    We perform an annual impairment review based on qualitative factors in the third quarter of each fiscal year. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we perform goodwill impairment testing if necessary after our assessment of qualitative factors at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangibles) as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.    To date, we have not recorded an impairment of goodwill.

In addition to the required goodwill impairment analysis, we also review the recoverability and estimated useful life of our net intangibles with finite lives when an indicator of impairment exists. When we acquire intangible assets, management determines the estimated useful life, expected residual value if any and appropriate allocation method of the asset value based on the information available at the time. Reaching a determination on useful life requires significant judgments and assumptions regarding the future effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, known technological advances, legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment, and expected changes in distribution channels), the level of required maintenance expenditures, and the expected lives of other related groups of assets.  Our assumptions with respect to expected future cash flows relating to intangible assets is impacted by our assessment of (i) the proprietary nature of our recycling process combined with (ii) the technological advances we have made allowing us to recycle all five major types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable in any glycol application along with (iii) the fact that the market is currently served by primarily smaller local processors.  If our assumptions and related estimates change in the future, or if we change our reporting structure or other events and circumstances change, we may be required to record impairment charges of goodwill and intangible assets in future periods and we may need to change our estimated useful life of amortizing intangible assets. Any impairment charges that we may take in the future or any change to amortization expense could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
Accounting for Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, and losses for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which include tax loss carry-forwards, and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or increased in a period, we include an adjustment within the tax provision of our consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31,June 30 , 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had established a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets.


As of March 31,June 30 , 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months. Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.
 
OUR BUSINESS

We are a green chemistry company that collects and recycles waste glycol into a reusable product that is sold to third party customers in the automotive and industrial end-markets. Our proprietary technology, GlyEco TechnologyTM,TechnologyTM, allows us to recycle all five major types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable in any glycol application. We are dedicated to conserving natural resources, limiting liability for waste generators, safeguarding the environment, and creating valuable green products.

We maintain our principal executive offices at 10429 S. 51st51st Street, Suite 235, Phoenix, AZ 85044. Our telephone number at that office is (866) 960-1539. Our website address is www.glyeco.com. Our stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “GLYE.”
 
We currently operate seven processing centers in the United States. These processing centers are located in (1) Minneapolis, Minnesota, (2) Indianapolis, Indiana, (3) Lakeland, Florida, (4) Elizabeth, New Jersey (the “NJ Processing Center),Center’ ), (5) Rock Hill, South Carolina, (6) Tea, South Dakota, and (7) Landover, Maryland. We discontinued our operations in Newell, West Virginia in November of 2013. Customers in this region are currently serviced through our Maryland and New Jersey processing centers.

Our operations span several regions, but the physical collection and disposal of waste is very much a local business. The dynamics and opportunities differ in each of our markets. By combining local operating management with standardized business practices, we drive greater overall operating efficiency across the company while maintaining day-to-day operating decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.

In 2013, we completed implementation of the first phase of GlyEco TechnologyTMTechnologyTM upgrades at our NJ Processing Center despite delays caused by permitting and inclement weather, including the effects of Hurricane Sandy. While Hurricane Sandy did not cause any significant physical damage to our NJ Processing Center, the surrounding area experienced extensive flooding, power failures, and disruption of transportation, power, communications, and government permitting services, therefore causing unexpected delays to our upgrades. The NJ Processing Center relies on third-party rail and truck transportation to receive waste glycol materials for processing and to deliver recycled glycol to our customers.  We currently lease a fleet of 12 railcars and intend to add to this fleet accordingly as our production capacity increases.

We began producing and selling ASTM E1177 Type EG-1 recycled glycol (“T1TM”T1TM) from multiple feedstock sources in August of 2013, and we continue to sell T1TMT1TM recycled glycol in commercial quantities. Customer response is very favorable and demand for T1TMT1TM recycled glycol exceeds our current processing capabilities. We have begun a second phase of GlyEco TechnologyTMTechnologyTM upgrades at the NJ Processing Center to increase our volumes of T1TMT1TM and other glycol products. The second phase will include the installation of additional storage, increased throughput capabilities, and enhanced technological components.

We completed a pilot program with a national waste collection company in July 2013. This program enables GlyEco to collect waste glycols from landfills across the country for recycling. The program is in its initial stages, and we plan to increase its scope, capabilities and collection volumes in 2014.as practical to do so .
 

Our processing centers in Minnesota, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Maryland offer waste glycol collection, recycling, and disposal services. These processing centers employ truck drivers to pick up waste glycols, transport the material to their recycling facilities, and recycle the waste glycol into fully formulated antifreeze, heat-transfer fluids, and recycled glycols. These products are resold into the market, often to the same customers that generate the waste. We currently provide collection, recycling, and disposal services to over 3,500 waste glycol generators, an increase of over 160% compared to year-end 2012.

In addition to increasing our base of waste generating customers, the company has completed upgrades to improve quality and expand processing capabilities and capacity at each of our processing centers. The following upgrades were made to our processing centers in 2013:
 
● 
Minnesota Processing Center relocated from a 2,000 square foot multi-tenant space to a 10,000 9,600 square foot stand-alone building. The company has completed initial upgrades at this new facility, including new circulation and vacuum pumps, piping, and other equipment. Processing capacity increased by 248% in 2013. Additional upgrades are in process and due to be completed during Q2 2014.

● Indiana Processing Center has completed initial upgrades, including improved filtration systems, advanced pre-treatment equipment, increased storage capacity, and an additional delivery truck. Processing capacity increased by approximately 150% in 2013.

● Florida Processing Center has completed initial upgrades, including an improved vacuum distillation system, advanced post treatment equipment, and additional pumps and piping. Processing capacity has increased by 10,000 gallons. An additional collection truck was added to the business, allowing for expansion of our customer base. Secondary containment increased to 110% of state, local and U.S. required compliancy codes. Additional upgrades are planned to further expand production capabilities.

● 
New Jersey Processing Center has completed initial upgrades of the proprietary GlyEco TechnologyTM,TechnologyTM, including the installation of a high efficiency, primary treatment process, advanced pre-treatment equipment, advanced post-treatment equipment, and increased storage capacity. We continue to implement substantial upgrades to the processing center’s infrastructure to further automate the recycling process and increase volume. 

● South Carolina Processing Center has completed initial upgrades, including the installation of a tri-flow reflux nozzle, advanced pre-treatment equipment, advanced post-treatment equipment, and expanded tank capacity of 43,500 gallons. Production capability increased over 25% in 2013. These technology and equipment upgrades enable the South Carolina Processing Center to process waste polyester by-product into high quality recycled material in commercial quantities. Customer base increased approximately 265% during 2013.

● South Dakota Processing Center has completed initial upgrades, including a steam cooler, pumps, piping, and additional equipment. Processing capacity has increased by 14,000 gallons. Additional upgrades are in process and due to be completed in 2014. Customer base increased approximately 8.75% during 2013.

● Maryland Processing Center has completed initial upgrades, installing additional equipment, pumps and piping. Production capacity has increased by approximately 26,000 gallons. Secondary containment increased to 110% of state, local and U.S. required compliancy codes.
 
Going forward, in the United States, we intend to build on the past year’s growth. We intend to increase production of T1TMT1TM recycled glycol and increase our customer base for that product offering. We plan to expand the number of waste glycol generators we service and expand those services in tointo new markets. We intend to increase our customer base for fully formulated antifreeze, HVAC fluids, and recycled glycols. We will continue to expand recycling services into new markets. Further, we will continue to explore additional acquisitions and seek to create strategic alliances with companies producing or aggregating waste glycol.

Internationally, we are exploring several different strategic partnerships and business models to implement our GlyEco Technology™ in Europe, Canada, China, and elsewhere.
 

Our Technology
 
Our founders began developing innovative new methods for recycling glycols in 1999. We saw a need in the market to improve the quality of recycled glycol and to clean more types of waste glycol in a cost efficient manner. Each type of industrial waste glycol contains a different set of impurities which traditional waste antifreeze processing just doesn'tdoes not clean effectively. And, many of the contaminants left behind using these processes, such as esters, organic acids and high dissolved solids, leave the recycled material risky to use in vehicles or machinery.
 
We spent ten years on research and development, independent market validation, and financial analysis to determine the most advantageous business position for expanding what we believe to be groundbreaking technologies. The result is our breakthrough patent-pending processing system, GlyEco TechnologyTM.TechnologyTM. Our inventive technology removes challenging pollutants, including esters, organic acids, high dissolved solids and high-undissolved solids. Our technology also has the added benefit of clearing oil/hydrocarbons, additives and dyes that are typically found in used engine coolants. Our quality assurance and control program, which includes independent lab testing, seeks to ensure consistently high quality, ASTM standard compliant recycled material.
 
We have received verification from multiple American Association for Laboratory Accredited (A2LA) laboratories that our recycled glycol meets the specifications of the ASTM E1177 Type EG-1 standard, which is the official standard for refinery-grade virgin glycol.
 
Our GlyEco Technology™ uses a tri-phase recycling process to remove all oil, hydrocarbons, dissolved solids, undissolved solids, color, and smell:

(1)  
Pre-Treatment - As waste glycol arrives, a sample is tested to determine the types and levels of impurities to be removed.  Pre-treatment is custom scaled to each batch of material and consists of a unique chemical precipitation that removes sulfates and esters.  Testing and pretreatment maximize efficiency and save overall processing costs, allowing cleaner material to be fed into primary treatment.

(2)  
Primary Treatment – Our primary treatment uses distillation.

(3)  
Post Treatment - Our proprietary post-treatment systems remove any remaining impurities in an innovative and proprietary application of ion exchange resins, removing the last traces of chlorides, sulfates, esters, glycolates, and formates. ASTM has established maximum allowable concentrations of chlorides and sulfates for automotive antifreeze grade recycled materials. Standards for maximum allowable levels of esters, glycolates, and formates are in development. We believe our GlyEco Technology™ will remove contaminants to meet future standards. Finally, the materials that we recycle pass through our GlyEco Quality Assurance Program, which includes in-house and independent lab purity testing. After successfully completing this testing, the recycled materials will be considered GlyEco Certified® recycled glycol and will be staged for delivery to our customers.
 
Industry Overview1
  
Background on Glycol
 
Glycols are man-made liquid chemicals derived from natural gas and crude oil —non-renewable and limited natural resources. Glycols are used as a base chemical component in five primary industries: (1) Automotive; (2) Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”); (3) Textiles, (4) Airline, and (5) Medical.

During use in these industries, glycol becomes contaminated with impurities. Impurities in waste glycol vary depending on the industry source, with each waste stream containing different amounts of water, glycols, dirt, metals, and oils.  Most waste glycol is landfilled, sent to waste water treatment, released to surface water, or disposed of improperly, wasting an important natural resource and causing a negative effect on our environment. Because of rapid biodegradability of glycol, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) allows disposal by “release to surface waters." However, when glycols break down in water they deplete oxygen levels, which kill fish and other aquatic life.  Exposure to ethylene glycol can be hazardous and may cause death for humans, animals, birds, fish, and plants.
 
There are different types of glycol, including propylene glycol and ethylene glycol. Our GlyEco TechnologyTMTechnologyTM focuses generally on ethylene glycol but can be modified to work with any type of glycol. Virgin ethylene glycol is produced in petrochemical plants using the ethane/ethylene extracted from natural gas or cracked from crude oil in refineries. Ethylene is oxidized in these petrochemical plants to ethylene oxide, which is then hydrated to form ethylene glycol. Glycols are also used in other applications such as paints and coatings, but these uses do not produce waste glycol, thus are not relevant to our business.

Glycol Market

World-wide consumption for ethylene glycol is over 5.5 billion gallons per year with an expected annual growth rate of approximately 6% from 2013 to 2018. China and the United States are the largest consumers of ethylene glycol. While the growth rate has slowed, demand continues to exceed supply for ethylene glycol, largely because of growth in polyester manufacturing used to make clothing, plastic containers, and plastic beverage bottles.2

Despite the negative effects waste glycol can have on people and the environment, the majority is disposed of rather than recycled. The EPA has estimated that only 12% of waste antifreeze is recycled, equaling around 25 to 30 million gallons recycled per year (EPA; WEBA Corporation).

Glycol Recycling
 
Companies began recycling waste glycol in the 1980s. Material technological advances and market acceptance of recycled glycol did not occur until the 1990s, but recyclers rarely processed any other type of glycol than waste automotive antifreeze. To this day, recyclers still generally focus on automotive antifreeze, as waste glycol from the other industries have unique impurities and are challenging to process. There are approximately 25-30 independent glycol recyclers in the United States. Additionally, a few used motor-oil recyclers who operate in multi-state regions also collect and recycle waste antifreeze. The most common methods of glycol recycling include distillation, nanofiltration, and electrodialysis.
 
Glycol Recycling Standards

The ASTM, Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”), and various states have developed guidelines and regulations that govern the quality of virgin and recycled glycol. ASTM is recognized as the independent leader in creating standards for the composition of antifreeze and other glycol-based products. ASTM sets both performance standards (e.g., specifications for engine coolant used in light- and heavy-duty automobiles) and general purity standards. One standard, ASTM E1177, provides specifications on the purity level of glycol. ASTM has subdivided its ASTM E1177 glycol specification into two levels, Type I (“T1TM”) and Type II (“T2TM”). T1TM specifications are consistent with virgin glycol. Recycled glycol can also meet the T1TM standard, but none of the competitors that we are aware of meet this standard. Meeting the T1TM standard is important, as it determines what price customers are willing to buy the recycled product for. Customers in the polyester manufacturing industries generally require a product that is equivalent or exceeds T1TM standards, as do Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) (e.g., automobile manufacturers). T2TM was established to define a product with more impurities than those in a T1TM product. Glycols that are T2TM can only be used in a limited number of applications (e.g. automotive antifreeze) and only certain customers are willing to purchase T2TM glycol (e.g. certain national automobile service chains). We believe that only a few ethylene glycol recycling companies currently meet T2TM requirements, and none meet T1TM requirements on a commercial scale.

Glycol Pricing3

Glycol is a commodity, and prices vary based upon supply, demand, and feedstock costs. On the supply side, there are a few companies that control the majority of virgin glycol production worldwide (e.g. MEGlobal, SABIC, and Formosa Group). These producers establish the market pricing of glycol with their sales to large polyester companies (e.g. Indorama, Sinopec, DAK Americas, and M&G Group) and antifreeze blenders (E.g. Old World, Prestone, and Valvoline). Large producers affect market pricing with short- and long-term supply and capacity. For example, month-to-month fluctuation in pricing often derives from planned and unplanned temporary shutdowns of refineries for maintenance and repair.  Upstream feedstock costs, including the price of crude oil and natural gas, also have some influence on the price of glycol. On the demand side, the automotive antifreeze and polyester industries are the major drivers of downstream demand. Generally, the demand for glycol is highest in the months leading up to winter for use in automotive antifreeze and in the months leading up to summer for use in plastic bottles for water and other drinks.
 
Over the last ten years, the average sales price for virgin ethylene glycol shipped by truck or rail was approximately $4.69 per gallon. The current benchmark price for virgin ethylene glycol is approximately $5.40 per gallon. While demand for glycol often tapers in April and May due to decreased need in the antifreeze market, prices may stay higher than normal as supply is expected to be tight due to heavy maintenance and temporary shutdowns of multiple production facilities.

Glycerine – A Potential Substitute for Glycol
 
Antifreeze producers continue to evaluate base fluids other than ethylene glycol (or propylene glycol). The primary candidate is glycerine. Glycerine is becoming more available since it is a by-product of bio-diesel fuel production, which is growing rapidly in the United States. Glycerine has properties similar to those of ethylene glycol when it is diluted with water, as in antifreeze. Glycerine is being evaluated in blends of 10.0% to 20.0% with ethylene glycol and as a total replacement for ethylene glycol. Recently, ASTM finalized specifications on glycerin-based antifreeze, but adoption of the new base fluid has been limited. Major changes would have to be made in the industry for glycerin to make a major dent in the use of glycol. For example, pure glycerine starts to solidify at 62.6°F. 96.0% glycerine (the minimum concentration of which is used in antifreeze concentrate currently) begins to solidify at 46.4°F, versus about 0°F for ethylene glycol based antifreeze concentrate. To obtain the same freeze protection (-34°F) as 50/50 service strength ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, 60.0% glycerin would be required. Because glycerine from bio-diesel plants must be refined prior to use in antifreeze, since it must be used at higher ratios with water to obtain the same freeze protection as ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, and since glycerine would have to be shipped in a more dilute form than ethylene glycol-based antifreeze concentrate to avoid freezing at common winter temperatures, the actual cost advantages of glycerine over ethylene glycol is still being determined. In any event, we believe that our processing centers could be modified to recycle glycerine-based antifreeze. We will continue to monitor the evaluation of glycerine as a base fluid for antifreeze. Although we do not view glycerine as a significant threat to the achievement of our financial projections, we could make changes to our processing centers, as necessary.
 
Competitors
 
We face competition both in the recycling and virgin glycol sectors.

The glycol recycling industry is comprised primarily of independent recyclers who operate within their own geographic region. The industry is fragmented with approximately 25-30 independent recyclers spread out across the United States. Most operations are companies still owned by the original entrepreneur that founded the company, or a division of a larger chemical operation where glycol recycling is only a small portion of the business. Additionally, a few used motor-oil recyclers who operate in multi-state regions also collect and recycle waste antifreeze. These companies often use what we consider unsophisticated technologies and outdated equipment with limited capacity and poor quality control processes. Consequently, we believe that most operations (1) produce substandard products, (2) cannot be trusted to produce consistent batches of recycled product, and (3) do not have the capacity to provide product to major buyers. The majority of recycled glycol from these operations is sold into secondary markets as generic automotive antifreeze. This material is often mixed with refinery-grade glycol to dilute remaining impurities and because the quality does not meet the standards of many buyers and certain industries as a whole. These glycol recycling competitors actively seek to purchase waste glycol from local, regional, and national collectors, competition which can increase the price to obtain such waste.
 
Other competitors include refinery grade glycol manufacturers (e.g. MEGlobal and SABIC), antifreeze producers (e.g. Prestone and Old World), and waste collectors (e.g. Safety Kleen). While these competitors have a large footprint and access to resources, they have not traditionally focused on glycol and we believe that they do not have the recycling technology to produce high quality products–such that we receive waste glycol from some of these companies.
 

3 Pricing information in this section comes from ICIS Chemical Business and is based upon shipment of mono-ethylene glycol by rail or truck.
 
 
While there is a possibility of competitors (both from existing antifreeze glycol recyclers and from new entrants into the glycol recycling industry) producing recycled glycol that can meet ASTM Type 1 standards in commercial volumes, there are several barriers to entry. Potential competitors entering the Type 1 recycled glycol market would first need to develop technology that produces comparable quality recycled material without violating any of our intellectual property. We are not aware of any such systems currently in development. This solved, potential competitors would need to purchase or build sufficient facilities to service the North American territory. Finally, potential competitors would need to establish or build relationships with target customers to obtain waste glycol material in large volumes. While these challenges are not insurmountable, we believe they would take significant time and resources to overcome.

Competitive Strengths

We believe our business possesses the following competitive strengths which position us to serve our customers, grow our revenues and profits, and maintain a competitive edge over other companies in our sector:

Multiple Recycling Facilities. We operate seven processing centers servicing multiple waste glycol producing regions. Providing waste glycol disposal services to national and regional waste collectors has increased. We believe multi-region clients prefer a business partner who is experienced with hazardous waste disposal regulations, is a publically traded company, and has a large operating footprint with conveniently located disposal centers. We believe our sales growth with large disposal clients and national recycled glycol customers will continue due to our experience and larger footprint. We also believe having centralized management of multiple locations will streamline administrative functions, elevate our logistics and decrease costs such as transportation and personnel.

Proprietary Technology. We believe our GlyEco TechnologyTM gives us distinct advantages in servicing our clients, creating premium products, and controlling our costs. We can cost effectively process waste glycol created by industries who often pay to dispose of this hazardous waste. Many of our waste disposal clients are concerned with cradle-to-grave products liability. We believe that our GlyEco TechnologyTM will give them greater incentive to dispose of their material with a company that handles the waste responsibly and will recycle it into a quality product. We have begun producing T1TM recycled glycol and are selling it in our target price range, similar to refinery-grade pricing.

Diversified Feedstock Supply Network. We obtain our waste glycol supply through a combination of direct collection activities and aggregation from third-party collectors. We believe our balanced direct and indirect approach to obtaining waste is highly advantageous, maximizing total supply and minimizing infrastructure. We collect waste glycol directly from approximately 3,500 generators —including oil change service stations, automotive and heavy equipment repair shops, and brokers— which reduces our reliance on any single supplier. We also receive waste glycol from five or six large waste collectors, which allows us to benefit from large volumes of waste without the infrastructure needed to support collection and customer service management.
 
Relationships with Customers. All of the companies that we acquired have established and personal relationships with their feedstock and off take customers, having provided a high level of product and customer service to their clients for up to fifteen years. Because all general managers have continued with the Company and have a vested interest in the Company succeeding, we believe our relationships with these parties will be strong and could lead to expanded feedstock supply through customer referral and brand recognition in the local community.
 
Experienced Management Team. We are led by a management team with expertise in glycol recycling, waste management, finance, and operations. Each member of our executive management team has more than 10 years of industry experience, and have executed plans similar to GlyEco’s plan moving forward, including upgrading processing centers, consolidating industries through mergers and acquisitions, and expanding glycol recycling businesses through organic growth. Each plant manager has over 13 years of experience in the glycol recycling business.  We believe the strength of our management team will help our success in the marketplace.
 
Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our proprietary recycling process, increase production by continuing to expand our customer base, both in the regions we currently serve and in new regions across North America and abroad while realizing synergies from recent acquisitions. We will expand our waste glycol disposal services and waste glycol recycling services to additional industries within our regions. The principal elements of our business strategy are to:
 
Integrate and Increase Profits. We intend to continue integrating and implementing best practices across our recent acquisitions and all aspects of our processing centers, including financial, staffing, technology, products and packaging, and compliance. Our customers and partners require high levels of regulatory and environmental compliance, which we intend to emphasize through employee training, facility policies and procedures, and ongoing analysis of operating performance. We have begun to implement standardized accounting, invoicing, and logistics management systems across our operations.
 
 
We intend to implement computerized customer relationship management, dispatch and inventory control systems in 2014.as practical to do so. We have implemented the initial phase of our GlyEco® brand strategy and will continue to build brand equity via marketing initiatives. We believe all of these measures will increase the quality service we can provide to customers, increase the visibility of the Company, and maximize profitability.

Expand Feedstock Supply Volume. We intend to expand our feedstock supply volume by growing our relationships with direct waste generators and indirect waste collectors. We plan to increase the volume we collect from direct waste generators in the following ways: stress segregation from other liquid wastes and a focus on waste glycol recovery to our existing customers; attract new waste generator customers by displacing incumbent waste collectors through product quality and customer service value propositions; and attract new waste generators in territories that we do not currently serve. We plan to increase the volume we collect from indirect waste collectors by implementing specific sales programs and increasing personnel dedicated to sales generation.
 
Expand the New Jersey Processing Center. We have completed the first phase of technology installation and are producing Type 1 compliant recycled glycol for commercial use. We have begun the second phase of expansion to our processing capacity in order to meet customer demand for larger quantities of our T1™ recycled glycol and to process additional types of glycol. This includes an investment in additional equipment and build-out services that leverage the existing facilities while increasing capacity, improving cost efficiencies and increasing throughput. We believe this expansion will over time increase the margins we obtain on our products and the amount of sales.
 
Pursue Selective Strategic Relationships or Acquisitions. We intend to grow our market share by consolidating feedstock supply through partnering with waste collection companies, leveraging recently acquired relationships, or acquiring other companies with glycol recycling operations. We plan to focus on partnerships and acquisitions that not only add revenue and profitability to our financials but those that have long-term growth potential and fit with the overall goals of the Company.

New Market Development. We have completed the initial processing center expansions necessary to diversify our customer base into new markets. During 2013, we began processing waste glycols from the textile, HVAC, and airline industries at some of our processing centers. We intend to continue this growth into new markets and underserved industries. We plan to implement additional capacity at our processing centers to allow them to process additional types of waste glycol streams and therefore to serve any prevailing new markets in their respective geographic areas.
 
Enter International Markets. We intend to explore opportunities to expand operations and technology into international markets. We have developed several relationships in markets where we believe glycol recycling is an underserved market, including Europe, Asia, Canada, Mexico, and South America. We believe that moving into international markets will further establish the Company as a leader in glycol recycling and will increase profitability.

Suppliers

We conduct business with a number of waste glycol generators, as well as waste collectors that have varied operations in solid, hazardous, special, and liquid waste. We collect waste glycol directly from over 3,300 generators, such as oil change service stations, automotive and heavy equipment repair shops, automotive dealerships, vehicle fleet operations, plastic bottle manufacturers, virgin glycol refineries, and other companies that generate waste glycol. We also receive waste glycol from five to ten waste collectors that act as a “one-stop shop” for companies generating a variety of waste including oil, glycol, solvents, and solid waste. At our processing centers, we receive the majority of our waste glycol from waste generators, with the balance coming from waste collectors. We normally collect waste glycol from waste generators in volumes between 50 to 100 gallons. We also receive waste glycol in 5,000 gallon tanker trucks from waste collectors. Our glycol concentrate processing centers generally receive their material from waste collectors, brokers, glycol manufacturers, and other larger waste sources; these processing centers receive the waste material by rail in 20,000 gallon loads or by truck in 5,000 gallon loads. Depending on the type of waste glycol and the chemical composition of that glycol, we can be paid by the generators to take the material, take it for free, or pay for the material. We plan to expand our feedstock sources at all processing centers as we increase capacity and storage.
 
Customers

We sell to a variety of customers including automotive garages, vehicle fleet operations, antifreeze blenders, the U.S. government, and others. Our processing centers most often sell their recycled antifreeze product back to their feedstock suppliers—including oil change service stations, automotive and heavy equipment repair shops, automotive dealerships, and vehicle fleet operations—in volumes of 50 to 100 gallons per order. However, they also sell material in volumes of 1,000 to 5,000 gallons per order to distributors who resell normally into the automotive industry. Our processing centers agree with their customers to a fixed pricing for recycled antifreeze which is below refinery grade pricing. Pricing at our processing centers will change from time to time based upon market conditions. Our T1TM processing center sells concentrated glycol, mainly to the military or government, antifreeze blenders, and distributors in volumes of 5,000 to 20,000 gallons per order. We normally sell this based on the spot price market for refinery grade glycol.
 
 
Seasonality

Our business is affected by seasonal factors, mainly the demand for automotive antifreeze and plastic bottles, which can affect our sales volume and the price point. Because the demand for automotive antifreeze is highest in winter months, our processing centers often see an increase in sales during the first and fourth quarters. Generally, our processing centers have slower second and third quarters, but this trend is not absolute and will depend on the climate in that facility’s region and how quickly the business is growing. As the Company diversifies recycling services in to additional industries, some of this seasonality may be reduced.

Our T1™ processing centers can be affected not only by the volume collected and sold in colder months but also by the spot and contract pricing of refinery grade glycol (e.g. what MEGlobal and SABIC are selling glycol for in domestic and international markets). Generally, the demand for glycol peaks in the months leading up to winter for the use in automotive antifreeze, heating systems and aircraft deicing fluids. Glycol demand is also high in the months leading up to summer as production increases for plastic food containers, water and beverage bottles, and increases in use of air conditioning system fluids. Because the finished products at our T1™ processing centers are normally based upon the spot market, the pricing can be influenced by seasonal demand for antifreeze and plastic bottles. However, there are many other variables that can affect the pricing of glycol, including supply being affected by refinery shutdowns and other upstream conditions.
 
National and International Regulation
 
Although glycol can be considered a hazardous material, there are few federal rules or regulations governing its characterization, transportation, packaging, processing, or disposal (e.g. handling). Typically any regulations that address such activities occur at either the state and/or county level and can vary significantly from region to region. For example, while a majority of states do not regulate the resale of recycled glycol in any manner, a few states do regulate the quality of recycled glycol that can be resold in the market as antifreeze by requiring that all branded recycled antifreeze be tested and approved before resale can occur.
 
Regarding the handling of waste glycol, most states have little to no regulation specifically regarding the handling of waste glycol. Instead, the handling of waste glycol is typically regulated under state-level hazardous waste and solid waste regulations. Waste glycol is not automatically characterized as a hazardous waste by the states, but it can be considered hazardous if the waste material is tested and contains a certain amount of contaminants, such as lead. For example, the State of Indiana published guidance explaining that used antifreeze is not a “listed” hazardous waste, but it can be identified as a hazardous waste if it is contaminated from use or mixture with other wastes. Importantly, a handful of states grant an exception to handlers of waste glycol allowing them to not have to test their waste material if its destination is a recycling facility. This is a notable exception that allows the glycol recycling industry to function without significant barriers. For example, the State of Minnesota does not require used antifreeze destined for recycling to be evaluated. Additionally, some states exempt the handling of waste glycol from the application of state-level hazardous waste regulations if the waste material is recycled according to certain best management practices (BMPs) identified by the states. BMPs often relate to the labeling and storage of waste glycol and to proper recordkeeping. For example, the State of Florida exempts used antifreeze generated by vehicle repair facilities from the application of the state’s hazardous waste regulations if it is recycled according to the BMPs outlined by the state. The handling of waste glycol is also often regulated by state-level solid waste regulations, as such regulations typically define “solid waste” to include spent liquids. However, similar to state-level hazardous waste regulations, an exception sometimes applies that exempts the handling of waste glycol from the application of state-level solid waste regulations if the waste glycol is being recycled and therefore does not pose any threat to public health or the environment.

A few states require a license or permit to process waste glycol. The cost of such licenses and permits to process waste glycol can vary from less than one hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Recyclers are often left with hazardous metals or chemicals as a byproduct of their process, for which they pay a nominal fee to register with the state and/or county as a hazardous waste generator and pay for the waste to be incinerated or disposed of in some other environmentally friendly way. In addition to taking the necessary precautions and maintaining the required permits/licenses, glycol recyclers generally take out environmental liability insurance policies to mitigate any risks associated with the handling of waste glycol. We do everything within our power to make sure that all permits, licenses, and insurance policies are in place to mitigate any risks stemming from the actions of our employees or third parties.
 
Internationally, the regulation of waste glycol varies from country to country. Some countries have strong regulations, meaning they specifically identify waste glycol as a hazardous waste that requires particular handling (e.g. transportation, collection, processing, packaging, resale, and disposal). Other countries have fewer regulations, meaning they do not specifically identify waste glycol as a hazardous waste that requires particular handling, allowing producers of waste glycol to dispose of the waste in ways that may harm the environment. Europe and Canada have strong regulations. Aside from the United States, Canada, and Europe, the remainder of the world generally has weak regulations. Despite strong regulations in certain parts of the world, we believe the United States is the only market with an established glycol recycling industry. Strong regulations are favorable for glycol recyclers because it causes waste generators to track their waste, resulting in more waste glycol supply for recyclers, and therefore potentially lower prices for raw material.
 
 
Environmental Compliance
 
Our activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. We believe that our procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with all applicable government regulations. However, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. If an accident occurred, we could be held liable for damages, and these damages could severely impact our financial condition. We are also subject to many environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations. Violations and the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations could adversely affect us. However, we do not believe that compliance with environmental laws will have a material effect on us in the foreseeable future.
  
Intellectual Property

On March 15, 2013, we filed a utility patent application for our GlyEco Technology™ processes with the United States Patent and Trademark Office claiming priority to the provisional patent application that we filed in August of 2012. The patent application is currently pending review. We maintain and use several service marks including “GlyEco®”, “Innovative Green Chemistry®”, “GlyEco Certified®”, “GlyEco TechnologyTM”, “G-TECHTM”, “T1TM”, and “T2TM”.  In addition, we have developed a website and have registered www.glyeco.com as our domain name, which contains information we do not desire to incorporate by reference herein.

Employees
 
We have thirty-one full-time employees, including John Lorenz, our Chief Executive Officer.  

Of the thirty-one employees, ten are drivers and twenty-one are executive, sales, and administrative staff. In addition to the employees, we use five consultants on a monthly basis and engage other consultants on a project basis. We believe all of our employee relations to be good.

Corporate History

The Company was formed in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2011. On October 21, 2011, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Credits, Inc. ("ECVL"). On November 21, 2011, ECVL merged itself into the Company (the "Reincorporation"). Upon the consummation of the Reincorporation, the Company was the surviving corporation and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company replaced the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of ECVL.
 
On November 28, 2011, the Company consummated a reverse triangular merger (the "Merger" or "Transaction") as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 21, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), with GRT Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Global Recycling Technologies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation and privately-held operating subsidiary ("Global Recycling"). Global Recycling was incorporated in Delaware on July 11, 2007.
 
GRT Acquisition, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2011 for the purpose of consummating the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GRT Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into Global Recycling, with Global Recycling being the surviving corporation and which resulted in Global Recycling becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
  
On December 30, 2011, Global Recycling's wholly owned subsidiary, Global Acquisition Corp. #6 ("Global Sub #6"), a Delaware corporation, was dissolved. Global Sub #6 ceased operations on December 31, 2009, when the assets (including rights to additive formula and goodwill) were sold in an exchange for the common shares of Global Recycling. Prior to its sale, Global Sub #6 operated as a chemical company selling additives used in producing antifreeze and heat transfer fluid from recycled ethylene glycol. Sales of additives were discontinued upon the sale of the assets effective December 31, 2009.
 
On January 9, 2012, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Recycling, consummated a merger pursuant to which Global Recycling merged with and into the Company (the "Global Merger"), with the Company being the surviving entity.

The 11,591,958 shares of common stock of Global Recycling (constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Recycling on the effective date of the Global Merger) held by the Company pursuant to the reverse merger consummated on November 28, 2011, were cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS

As previously reported by the Company in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on July 16, 2013, on July 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP to be the Company’s independent registered public accountant.  Concurrent with the appointment of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP, on July 15, 2013, the Board dismissed Jorgensen & Co., which had served as the Company’s independent registered public accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Jorgensen & Co. furnished the Company with a letter, dated July 15, 2013, in which they agreed to the disclosures being made in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on July 16, 2013. A copy of this letter was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the aforementioned Current Report on Form 8-K.
The reports provided by Jorgensen & Co. in connection with the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that they contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the two fiscal years prior to dismissal and through July 15, 2013, there was only one disagreement between the Company and Jorgensen & Co.  The disagreement was in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and concerned the fair market value of shares issued in non-monetary transactions.  The view of Jorgensen & Co. was that market conditions for the cash sale of securities (at $0.50) weighed heavily in the valuation of the shares, notwithstanding contractual agreements (at $1.00) for the parties to the non-monetary exchanges. The Board did not directly discuss the subject matter of the disagreement with Jorgensen & Co., and the disagreement was ultimately resolved to the satisfaction of Jorgensen & Co. The Company authorized Jorgensen & Co. to respond fully to any inquiries of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP concerning the subject matter of the disagreement.
Notwithstanding the disagreement disclosed above, there were no other disagreements between the Company and Jorgensen & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Jorgensen & Co., would have caused Jorgensen & Co. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the Company’s financial statements, and there were no other reportable events as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
As previously reported by the Company in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on July 16, 2013, on July 15, 2013, the Board appointed Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP to be the Company’s independent registered public accountant. During the two fiscal years prior to appointment and through July 15, 2013, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP regarding any of the following: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and none of the following was provided to the Company (a) a written report, or (b) oral advice that Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On July 29, 2013, the Company’s stockholders ratified the appointment of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Stock Option Plans
 
Third Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan

Upon the consummation of the merger, Global Recycling’s Third Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”) was assumed by the Company.
 
The following is a summary of certain of the more significant provisions of the 2007 Stock Plan. The statements contained in this summary concerning the provisions of the 2007 Stock Plan are merely summaries and do not purport to be complete. They are subject to and qualified in their entirety by the actual terms of the 2007 Stock Plan. A copy of the 2007 Stock Plan has been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.4 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
 
Shares Reserved Under the 2007 Stock Plan
 
We have reserved 6,742,606 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted under the 2007 Stock Plan to employees, directors, proposed employees and directors, advisors, independent contractors (and their employees and agents), and other persons who provide valuable services to the Company (collectively, “Eligible Persons”). As of AprilAugust 2014, we have issued 6,647,606 options to purchase the shares of our common stock originally reserved under the 2007 Stock Plan. All previously granted options issued pursuant to the 2007 Stock Plan will be subject to the requirements set forth in the 2007 Stock Plan and are Non-Qualified Stock Options.
 
The aggregate number of shares that may be granted to any one Eligible Person in any year will not exceed 50.0% of the total number of shares that may be issued under the 2007 Stock Plan. At the discretion of the Plan Administrator (defined below), the number and type of shares of our common stock available for award under the 2007 Stock Plan (including the number and type of shares and the exercise price covered by any outstanding award) may be adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from any stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or recapitalization of shares.
 
Administration
 
The 2007 Stock Plan is currently being administered by our Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors may delegate its authority and duties under the 2007 Stock Plan to a committee. Our Board of Directors and/or any committee that has been delegated the authority to administer the 2007 Stock Plan is referred to as the “Plan Administrator.” Subject to certain restrictions, the Plan Administrator generally has full discretion and power to (i) determine all matters relating to awards issued under the 2007 Stock Plan, including the persons to be granted awards, the time of grant, the type of awards, the number of shares of our common stock subject to an award, vesting conditions, and any and all other terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations of an award, (ii) interpret, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2007 Stock Plan, (iii) determine the terms of any award agreement made pursuant to the 2007 Stock Plan, and (iv) make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the  administration of the 2007 Stock Plan.  All decisions made by the Plan Administrator relating to the 2007 Stock Plan will be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons.
 
Eligibility
 
The Plan Administrator may grant any award permitted under the 2007 Stock Plan to any Eligible Person. With respect to awards that are options, directors who are not employees of the Company, proposed non-employee directors, proposed employees, and independent contractors will be eligible to receive only Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”).  An award may be granted to a proposed employee or director prior to the date he, she, or it performs services for the Company, so long as the award will not vest prior to the date on which the proposed employee or director first performs such services.
 
Awards under the 2007 Stock Plan
 
Under the 2007 Stock Plan, Eligible Persons may be granted: (a) stock options (“Options”), which may be designated as NQSOs or Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”); (b) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (c) restricted stock awards (“Restricted Stock”); (d) performance share awards (“Performance Awards”); or (e) other forms of stock-based incentive awards (collectively, the “Awards”). An Eligible Person who has been granted an Option is referred to in this summary as an “Optionee” and an Eligible Person who has been granted any other type of Award is referred to in this summary as a “Participant.”
 
No Award granted under the 2007 Stock Plan can be inconsistent with the terms and purposes of the 2007 Stock Plan. Additionally, the applicable exercise price for which shares of our common stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Award will not be less than (i) 100.0% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2007 Stock Plan) of shares of our common stock on the date that the Award is granted, or (ii) 110.0% of the Fair Market Value if the Award is granted to an Eligible Person who, directly or indirectly, holds more than 10.0% of the total voting power of the Company.
 
 
The Plan Administrator may grant to Optionees NQSOs or ISOs that are evidenced by stock option agreements. A NQSO is a right to purchase a specific number of shares of our common stock during such time as the Plan Administrator may determine. A NQSO that is exercisable at the time an Optionee ceases providing services to the Company will remain exercisable for such period of time as determined by the Plan Administrator. Generally, Options that are intended to be ISOs will be treated as NQSOs to the extent that the Fair Market Value of the common stock issuable upon exercise of such ISO, plus all other ISOs held by such Optionee that become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year, exceeds $100,000.
  
An ISO is an Option that meets the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as an ISO under the Code, the Option generally must (among other things) (x) be granted only to employees, (y) have an exercise price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, and (z) terminate if not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant (or five years if granted to an Optionee who, at the time the ISO is granted, directly or indirectly, holds more than 10.0% of the total voting power of the Company). Except in certain limited instances (including termination for cause, death, or disability), if any Optionee ceases to provide services to the Company, the Optionee’s rights to exercise vested ISOs will expire within three months following the date of termination.
 
A SAR is a right granted to a Participant to receive, upon surrender of the right, payment in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock on the date the right is exercised, over (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock on the date the right is granted.
 
Restricted Stock is common stock that is issued to a Participant at a price determined by the Plan Administrator. Restricted stock awards may be subject to (i) forfeiture upon termination of employment or service during an applicable restriction period, (ii) restrictions on transferability, (iii) limitations on the right to vote such shares, (iv) limitations on the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares, (v) attainment of certain performance goals, and (vi) such other conditions, limitations, and restrictions as determined by the Plan Administrator.
 
A Performance Award grants the Participant the right to receive payment upon achievement of certain performance goals established by the Plan Administrator. Such payments will be valued as determined by the Plan Administrator and will be payable to or exercisable by the Participant for cash, shares of our common stock, other awards, or other property determined by the Plan Administrator.
 
Other Awards may be issued under the 2007 Stock Plan, which include, without limitation, (i) shares of our common stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, (ii) convertible or exchangeable debt or equity securities, (iii) other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock, and (iv) awards valued by reference to the value of shares of our common stock or the value of securities or the performance of specified subsidiaries of the Company.
 
Exercise Price
 
The price for which shares of our common stock may be purchased upon exercise of a particular Award will be determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant.  However, the applicable exercise price for which shares of our common stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Award will not be less than (i) 100.0% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2007 Stock Plan) of shares of our common stock on the date that the Award is granted, or (ii) 110.0% of the Fair Market Value if the Award is granted to an Eligible Person who, directly or indirectly, holds more than 10.0% of the total voting power of the Company.
 
No Deferral Features
 
No Award granted under the 2007 Stock Plan will contain a deferral feature.  Awards cannot be modified or otherwise extended. No Award will contain a provision providing a reduction in the applicable exercise price, an addition of a deferral feature, or any extension of the term of the award.
 
Payment / Exercise of Award
 
An Award may be exercised using as the form of payment (a) cash or cash equivalent, (b) stock-for-stock payment, (c) cashless exercises, (d) the granting of replacement awards, (e) any combination of the above, or (f) such other means as the Plan Administrator may approve. No shares of our common stock will be delivered in connection with the exercise of any Award until payment in full of the exercise price is received by the Company.
 
  
Change of Control
 
The Stock Option provides that if a Change of Control (as defined in the 2007 Stock Plan) occurs, then the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity (the “Acquiring Company”), will either assume our rights and obligations under outstanding Awards or substitute for outstanding Awards substantially equivalent awards for the Acquiring Company’s capital stock. If the Acquiring Company elects not to assume or substitute for such outstanding Awards in connection with a Change of Control, our Board of Directors may determine that all or any unexercisable and/or unvested portions of outstanding Awards will be immediately vested and exercisable in full upon consummation of the Change of Control. Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors, Awards that are neither (i) assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Company in connection with the Change of Control, nor (ii) exercised upon consummation of the Change of Control, will terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change of Control.  Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed the obligations of Global Recycling under the Plan.
 
Amendment
 
Our Board of Directors may, without action on the part of our stockholders, amend, change, make additions to, or suspend or terminate the 2007 Stock Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate and in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that our Board of Directors may not, without the consent of the Participants, take any action that disqualifies any previously granted Option for treatment as an ISO or which adversely affects or impairs the rights of the holder of any outstanding Award. Additionally, our Board of Directors will need to obtain the consent of our stockholders in order to (a) amend the 2007 Stock Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to the plan, or (b) amend the 2007 Stock Plan if stockholder approval is required either (i) to comply with Section 422 of the Code with respect to ISOs, or (ii) for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
Term
 
The 2007 Stock Plan will remain in full force and effect through May 30, 2017, unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors. After the 2007 Stock Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted under the 2007 Stock Plan, but Awards previously granted will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions.

2012 Equity Incentive Plan
 
On February 23, 2012, subject to stockholder approval, the Company’s Board of Directors approved of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). By written consent in lieu of a meeting, dated March 14, 2012, Company stockholders owning an aggregate of 14,398,402 shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 66.1% of the 22,551,991 outstanding shares of Common Stock) approved and adopted the 2012 Plan.  Also by written consent in lieu of a meeting, dated July 27, 2012, stockholders of the Company owning an aggregate of 12,676,202 shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 51.8% of the then 24,451,991 outstanding shares of Common Stock) approved an amendment to the 2012 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan by 3,000,000 shares.
 
There are an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of awards granted under the 2012 Plan to employees, directors, proposed employees and directors, advisors, independent contractors (and their employees and agents), and other persons who provide valuable services to the Company. As of AprilAugust 2014, we have issued 3,900,9004,338,072 options under the 2012 Plan. The following description of the 2012 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2012 Plan. A copy of the 2012 Plan has been filed as Exhibit 4.5 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 

Purpose of the 2012 Plan

The purpose of the 2012 Plan is to attract, retain, and motivate employees, directors, advisors, independent contractors (and their employees and agents, or, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, any of their employees or contractors), and other persons who provide valuable services to the Company by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to link their interest and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Company believes that increased share ownership by such persons will more closely align stockholder and employee interests by encouraging a greater focus on the profitability of the Company. The Company has reserved and authorized the issuance of up to 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2012 Plan, subject to adjustment in the case of any stock dividend, forward or reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or recapitalization of shares or any like capital adjustment.
 
The 2012 Plan includes a variety of forms of awards, including (i) stock options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (“Incentive Stock Options”) under the Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) stock options not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under the Code (“Nonqualified Stock Options”), (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) restricted stock awards, (v) performance stock awards and (vi) other stock-based awards to allow the Company to adapt its incentive compensation program to meet the needs of the Company. 3,800,900 stock options have been granted under the 2012 Plan.
  
Plan Administration

The 2012 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Board may delegate all or any portion of its authority and duties under the 2012 Plan to one or more committees appointed by the Board and consisting of at least one member of the Board, under such conditions and limitations as the Board may from time to time establish. Notwithstanding anything contained in the 2012 Plan to the contrary, only the Board or a committee thereof composed of two or more “Non-Employee Directors” (as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act may make determinations regarding grants of awards to executive officers, directors, and 10% stockholders of the Company (“Affiliates”).
 
The Board and/or any committee that has been delegated the authority to administer the 2012 Plan, as the case may be, will be referred to as the “Plan Administrator.”

The Plan Administrator has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant awards as an alternative to, as a replacement of, or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under the 2012 Plan or other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, including the 2012 Plan of any entity acquired by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

Eligibility

Any employee, director, proposed employee or director, independent contractor (or employee or agent thereof), or other agent or person who provides valuable services to the Company will be eligible to receive awards under the 2012 Plan. With respect to awards that are options, directors who are not employees of the Company, proposed non-employee directors, proposed employees, and independent contractors (and their employees and agents, or, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, any of their employees or contractors) will be eligible to receive only Nonqualified Stock Options.
 

Change of Control

Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2012 Plan), the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent entity thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Company”), will either assume the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding awards or substitute for outstanding awards substantially equivalent awards for the Acquiring Company’s capital stock. In the event the Acquiring Company elects not to assume or substitute for such outstanding awards in connection with a Change of Control, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, provide that all or any unexercisable and/or unvested portions of the outstanding awards will be immediately vested and exercisable in full upon consummation of the Change of Control. The vesting and/or exercise of any award that is permissible solely by reason of this section will be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, any awards that are neither (i) assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Company in connection with the Change of Control, nor (ii) exercised upon consummation of the Change of Control, will terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change of Control. 

Exercise Price of Options

The price for which shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of a particular option will be determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of any award granted under the 2012 Plan will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2012 Plan) of the Common Stock on the date such option is granted (or 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock if the award is granted to a stockholder who, at the time the option is granted, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company).

Term of Options; Modifications

The Plan Administrator will set the term of each stock option, but no Incentive Stock Option will be exercisable more than ten years after the date such option is granted (or five years for an Incentive Stock Option granted to a stockholder who, at the time the option is granted, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company).

Payment; No Deferrals.

Awards granted under the 2012 Plan may be settled through exercise by (i) cash payments, (ii) the delivery of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value), (iii) the cashless exercise of such award, (iv) the granting of replacement awards, (v) combinations thereof as the Plan Administrator will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, or (vi) any other method authorized by the 2012 Plan. The Plan Administrator will not permit or require the deferral of any award payment, including, without limitation, the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents and converting such credits to deferred stock unit equivalents. No award granted under the 2012 Plan will contain any deferral feature.
 
Other Stock-Based Awards

Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Plan Administrator may grant stock appreciation rights, either in tandem with a stock option granted under the 2012 Plan or with respect to a number of shares for which no option has been granted. A stock appreciation right will entitle the holder to receive, with respect to each share of stock as to which the right is exercised, payment in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the right is exercised, over (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the right is granted; provided, however, that in the case of stock appreciation rights granted in tandem with or otherwise related to any award under the 2012 Plan, the grant price per share will be at least the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the right was granted. The Plan Administrator may establish a maximum appreciation value payable for stock appreciation rights and such other terms and conditions for such rights as the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion.
 

Restricted Stock Awards.

The Plan Administrator may grant restricted stock awards consisting of shares of Common Stock or denominated in units of Common Stock in such amounts as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion. Restricted stock awards may be subject to (i) forfeiture of such shares upon termination of employment or Service (as defined below) during the applicable restriction period, (ii) restrictions on transferability, (iii) limitations on the right to vote such shares, (iv) limitations on the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares, (v) attainment of certain performance goals, such as those described in Section 5.8(c) of the 2012 Plan, and (vi) such other conditions, limitations, and restrictions as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as set forth in the instrument evidencing the award. These restrictions may lapse separately or in combinations or may be waived at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock subject to restricted stock awards will bear an appropriate legend and may be held subject to escrow and such other conditions as determined by the Plan Administrator until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.
 
Performance Share Awards.

The Plan Administrator may grant performance share awards that give the award recipient the right to receive payment upon achievement of certain performance goals established by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, as set forth in the instrument evidencing the award. Such payments will be valued as determined by the Plan Administrator and payable to or exercisable by the award recipient for cash, shares of Common Stock (including the value of Common Stock as a part of a cashless exercise), other awards, or other property as determined by the Plan Administrator. Such conditions or restrictions may be based upon continuous Service (as defined below) with the Company or the attainment of performance goals related to the award holder’s performance or the Company’s profits, profit growth, profit-related return ratios, cash flow, stockholder returns, or such other criteria as determined by the Plan Administrator. Such performance goals may be (i) stated in absolute terms, (ii) relative to other companies or specified indices, (iii) to be achieved during a period of time, or (iv) as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator.

Other Stock-Based Awards.

The Plan Administrator may grant such other awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of Common Stock, as may be deemed by the Plan Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the 2012 Plan and applicable laws and regulations. Such other awards may include, without limitation, (i) shares of Common Stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, (ii) convertible or exchangeable debt or equity securities, (iii) other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, and (iv) awards valued by reference to the value of shares of Common Stock or the value of securities or the performance of specified subsidiaries of the Company.
 
Transferability

Any Incentive Stock Option granted under the 2012 Plan will, during the recipient’s lifetime, be exercisable only by such recipient, and will not be assignable or transferable by such recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as specifically allowed by the Plan Administrator, any other award granted under the 2012 Plan and any of the rights and privileges conferred thereby will not be assignable or transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and such award will be exercisable during the recipient’s lifetime only by the recipient.
 
Term of the 2012 Plan

The 2012 Plan will terminate on February 23, 2022, unless sooner terminated by the Board. After the 2012 Plan is terminated, no future awards may be granted under the 2012 Plan, but awards previously granted will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the 2012 Plan’s terms and conditions.

Consideration

The Board or Committee will grant Stock Options under the 2012 Plan in consideration for services rendered. There will be no other consideration received or to be received by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for the granting or extension of Stock Option under the 2012 Plan.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the registration of 53,272,15036,344,824 shares of our common stock, consisting of:
31,036,196 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock; and
22,235,954 shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants.
The actual number of shares of common stock that are sold by the selling stockholders may be less to the extent that selling stockholders with certain warrants exercise such warrants through a cashless exercise feature in accordance with the terms of the warrant. A “cashless exercise” means that in lieu of paying the aggregate purchase price for the shares being purchased upon exercise of the warrants in cash, the holder will forfeit a number of shares underlying the warrants with a “fair market value” equal to such aggregate exercise price as determined in accordance with the terms of the warrant.
Each warrant has anti-dilution protection including adjustments to the exercise price, as provided under the terms of such warrant, for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions.

The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer the shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.
 
We believe, based on information supplied by the following persons, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock which they beneficially own. The information presented in the columns under the heading “Beneficially Ownership After Offering” assumes the sale of all of our shares offered by this prospectus. The registration of the offered shares does not mean that any or all of the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of these shares. Except as set forth below, none of the selling shareholders (1) are a broker-dealer or are affiliates of a broker-dealer, or (2) have within the past three years had any position, office or other material relationship with our company or any of its predecessors or affiliates.

PLAN OF DISTRUBUTION

The selling shareholders may sell our common stock covered by this prospectus (the “registered securities”) from time to time in one or more transactions at:
  
 -fixed prices;
  
 -prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
  
 -varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
  
 -negotiated prices.
 
The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling shareholders may effect these transactions by selling the registered securities to or through broker-dealers or directly to investors. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the sales.
  
The registered securities may be sold in one or more of the following transactions:
  
 -a block trade in which a broker-dealer attempts to sell the shares of the registered securities as agent but may resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  
 -a purchase by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account under this prospectus;
  
 -an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
  
 -ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers;
  
 -privately negotiated transactions, including directly to investors; and
  
 -a combination of any of the above transactions.
 
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. If the plan of distribution involves an arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of the registered securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker-dealer, the amendment or supplement will disclose:
  
 -the name of the selling shareholders and the participating broker-dealer;
  
 -the number of shares of the registered securities involved;
  
 -the price at which the shares of the registered securities are sold;
  
 -the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer;
  
 -that the broker-dealer did not conduct any investigation to verify the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and
  
 -other facts material to the transaction.
 
The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or affiliates thereof in connection with distributions of the registered securities. In these transactions, broker-dealers or affiliates may engage in short sales of the registered securities pursuant to this prospectus to offset the positions they assume with the selling shareholders and use shares of the registered securities received from the selling shareholders to close out their short positions. The selling shareholders also may sell the registered securities short, deliver this prospectus in connection with some or all of those sales and redeliver the registered securities to close out their short positions. The selling shareholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof of shares of the registered securities. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer the shares of the registered securities under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may loan, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the registered securities covered by this prospectus to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof. The broker-dealer may sell the loaned or pledged registered securities under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation from the selling shareholders in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of the registered securities for which they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. A broker-dealer’s compensation will be negotiated in connection with the sale and may exceed the broker-dealer’s customary commissions. Broker-dealers, agents or the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with sales of the registered securities. Any commission, discount or concession received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the sale of the registered securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
 
Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus, which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling shareholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the registered securities. There is currently no coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the registered securities by the selling shareholders.
 
We agree to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the shares of the registered securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus, (ii) the expiration of the holding period that would be applicable to the registered securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act were it not held by an affiliate of ours, or (iii) the sale of all of the shares of the registered securities, pursuant to Rule 144. The registered securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states the registered securities may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of particular states, if applicable, the shares of registered securities will be sold in the jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in particular states, the shares of registered securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the registered securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the registered securities for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the registered securities by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
 
We will pay all costs, expenses and fees associated with the registration of the registered securities, including without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The selling shareholders will pay all underwriting commissions and discounts, selling or placement agent fees or broker fees and commissions, and transfer taxes, if any, associated with the sale of the registered securities. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in sales of the registered securities against specified liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify certain persons against specified liabilities in connection with the offering of the registered securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
GlyEco, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of GlyEco, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GlyEco, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources and other factors to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters set forth in Note 2,1 , raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan to address these matters is disclosed in Note 2.1 .  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLYECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012 

 
NOTE 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
 
GlyEco, Inc. (the "Company", “we”, or “our”) is a green chemistry company that collects and recycles waste glycol into a reusable product that is sold to third party customers in the automotive and industrial end-markets. Our proprietary technology, GlyEco TechnologyTM, allows us to recycle all five major types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable in any glycol application.  We are dedicated to conserving natural resources, limiting liability for waste generators, safeguarding the environment, and creating valuable green products.  We currently operate seven processing centers in the United States with our principal offices located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our processing centers are located in (1) Minneapolis, Minnesota, (2) Indianapolis, Indiana, (3) Lakeland, Florida, (4) Elizabeth, New Jersey, (5) Rock Hill, South Carolina, (6) Tea, South Dakota, and (7) Landover, Maryland.
  
The Company was formed in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2011. On October 21, 2011, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Environmental Credits, Inc. ("ECVL"). On November 21, 2011, ECVL merged itself into its wholly-owned subsidiary, GlyEco, Inc. (the "Reincorporation"). Upon the consummation of the Reincorporation, the Company was the surviving corporation and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company replaced the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of ECVL.
 
On November 28, 2011, the Company consummated a reverse triangular merger (the "Merger" or "Transaction") as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 21, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), with GRT Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Global Recycling Technologies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation and privately-held operating subsidiary ("Global Recycling"). Global Recycling was incorporated in Delaware on July 11, 2007.
 
GRT Acquisition, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2011 for the purpose of consummating the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GRT Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into Global Recycling, with Global Recycling being the surviving corporation and which resulted in Global Recycling becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
We were formed to acquire the assets of companies in the business of recycling and processing waste ethylene glycol, and to apply a newly developed proprietary technology to produce ASTM E1177 Type I virgin grade recycled ethylene glycol to end users throughout North America.
 
On December 30, 2011, Global Recycling's wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Acquisition Corp. #6 ("Global Sub #6"), a Delaware corporation, was dissolved. Global Sub #6 ceased operations on December 31, 2009, when the assets (including rights to additive formula and goodwill) were sold in an exchange for the common shares of Global Recycling. Prior to its sale, Global Sub #6 operated as a chemical company selling additives used in producing antifreeze and heat transfer fluid from recycled ethylene glycol. Sales of additives were discontinued upon the sale of the assets effective December 31, 2009.
 
On January 9, 2012, the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Recycling, consummated a merger pursuant to which Global Recycling merged with and into the Company (the "Global Merger"), with the Company being the surviving entity.

The 11,591,958 shares of common stock of Global Recycling (constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Recycling on the effective date of the Global Merger) held by the Company pursuant to the reverse merger consummated on November 28, 2011, were cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.
 
Currently, the Company is actively acquiring operating entities involved in the recycling of waste ethylene glycol and is consolidating and streamlining their operations.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. Ultimately we hope to achieve viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized from the facilities added in 2013. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In their report dated April 15, 2014, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, expressing uncertainty regarding the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern.
 
 
GLYECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012  

 
Management's plans to address these matters include raising additional financing through offering its shares of capital stock in private and/or public offerings of its securities and through debt financing if available and needed. The Company plans to become profitable by upgrading the capacity and capabilities at its existing operating facilities, continuing to implement its patent-pending technology in international markets, and acquiring profitable glycol recycling companies, which are looking to take advantage of the Company's public company status and improve their profitability through a combined synergy. The Company intends to expand customer and supplier bases once operational capacity and capabilities have been upgraded.
 
NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
  
Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GlyEco, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation. The subsidiaries include: GlyEco Acquisition Corp #1 ("Acquisition Sub #1”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #2 ("Acquisition Sub #2”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #3 ("Acquisition Sub #3”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #4 ("Acquisition Sub #4”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #5 ("Acquisition Sub #5”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #6 ("Acquisition Sub #6”); and GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7 (“Acquisition Sub #7”).

Operating Segments
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing the performance of the segment. Operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics, among other criteria. The Company operates as one segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Because of the use of estimates inherent within the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.  Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, items such as, the allowance of doubtful accounts, the value of stock-based compensation and warrants, the allocation of the purchase price in the various acquisitions, and the realization of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, other intangibles and their estimated useful lives.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Cost of products sold consists of the cost of the purchased goods and labor related to the corresponding sales transaction. The Company recognizes revenue from services at the time the services are completed. Shipping costs passed to the customer are included in the net sales.

Costs
 
Cost of goods sold includes all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs of bringing raw materials to sale condition, including depreciation of equipment used in manufacturing and shipping and handling costs. We have entered into a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement (M&D Agreement) with Full Circle MFG Group, Inc. (“Full Circle”) to provide us with recycling and production services, which is included in related party in cost of goods sold as Full Circle is owned by a member of our Board of Directors. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs for 2013 and 2012 were $86,000 and $4,000, respectively.  
 
 
GLYECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012  

 
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for expected uncollectible amounts. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among others, the customer's willingness or ability to pay, the Company's compliance with customer invoicing requirements, the effect of general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customer. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the payment terms are considered past due and we do not charge interest on past due balances. The Company writes off trade receivables when all collection efforts have been exhausted. Bad debt expense is reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are reported at the lower of cost or market. The cost of raw materials, including feedstocks and additives, is determined on an average unit cost of the units in a production lot. Work-in-process represents labor, material and overhead costs associated with the manufacturing costs at an average unit cost of the units in the production lot. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for obsolete or unsalable items and adjusts its carrying value to reflect estimated realizable values. There was no allowance for obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and Equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides depreciation on the cost of its equipment using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life, ranging from five to twenty-five years, and zero salvage value. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The upgrades to our NJ Processing Center are scheduled to be completed in 2014, at which time depreciation is expected to commence. As of December 31, 2013, the Company incurred and capitalized Construction in Process totaling $2,117,001. The estimated cost to be incurred in 2014 to complete upgrades at the processing center is approximately $2,000,000 million. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $258,162 and $70,641, respectively.

For purposes of computing depreciation, the useful lives of property and equipment are: 
 
 Leasehold improvements  5 years 
    
 Machinery and Equipment3-25 years 
                                                                                                                                                                    
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company has adopted the framework for measuring fair value that establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
 
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date;

 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

 
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation is generated from model-based techniques with the unobservable assumptions reflecting our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
 
GLYECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012  

 
Cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are reflected in the balance sheet at their estimated fair values primarily due to their short-term nature. As to long-term capital leases and notes payable, estimated fair values are based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, which represent level 3 input levels. The Company did not engage in any transaction involving derivative instruments. Fair value accounting has been applied to the initial valuation of warrants issued, intangible assets, and goodwill, which is discussed in the respective notes.
 
Net Loss per Share Calculation

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the net income, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. The Company has other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect in both 2013 and 2012 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation include Series AA Preferred Stock, options and warrants. At December 31, 2013, these securities included warrants of 19,530,441 and stock options of 10,133,506 for a total of 29,663,947. At December 31, 2012, these securities included warrants of 12,307,558 and stock options of 6,837,606 for a total of 19,145,164. In addition, at December 31, 2013, there are 2,342,740 common shares that can potentially be issued upon the conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2012.
 
Provision for Taxes
 
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. An allowance for the deferred tax asset is established if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation
 
All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are expensed based on their estimated fair values at the grant date, in accordance with ASC 718. Compensation expense for stock options is recorded over the vesting period using the estimated fair value on the date of grant, as calculated by the Company using the Black-Scholes model. The Company classifies all share-based awards as equity instruments.
 
See Note 12 for a description of the Company’s share-based compensation plans and information related to awards granted under the plans.
 
Non-employee stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the goods or services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

Certain prior year numbers have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have not affected the net loss as previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
NOTE 3 – Accounts Receivable
 
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's net accounts receivable was $898,934 and $116,963, respectively.

NOTE 6 – Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We account for an acquisition of a business, as defined in ASC Topic 805, as required by an analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs associated with the transactions. Intangible assets that we acquire are recognized separately if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or if they are separable and are recorded at fair value less accumulated amortization. We analyze intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and period at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recorded to operations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets.

Goodwill is recorded as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill; however, we annually, or whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds fair value. Our test of goodwill impairment includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performance. Based on our analysis, no impairment loss was recorded in 2013 and 2012 as the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets did not exceed the estimated fair value determined. Any future increases in fair value would not result in an adjustment to the impairment loss that may be recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Evergreen Recycling, Inc.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company acquired Evergreen Recycling Co., Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Evergreen"), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 31, 2012 (the "Evergreen Agreement"), by and among the Company, Evergreen, Mr. Thomas Shiveley, the selling principal of Evergreen (the "Evergreen Selling Principal"), and GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #2, an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub #2”).

Evergreen operates a business located in Indianapolis, Indiana, relating to processing recyclable glycol streams, primarily used antifreeze, and selling glycol as remanufactured product.

Pursuant to the Evergreen Agreement, the Company (through Acquisition Sub #2) acquired the business and all of the glycol-related assets of Evergreen, free and clear of any liabilities or encumbrances, consisting of Evergreen's personal property (equipment, tools, machinery, furniture, supplies, materials, and other tangible personal property), inventory, intangible property, contractual rights, books and records, intellectual property, accounts receivable (excluding trade accounts receivable equal to or greater than 90 days), goodwill, and miscellaneous assets, in exchange for a $59,304 cash payment, 377,372 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock, valued at the then current fair market value of $1.57, determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date, and assumption of Evergreen's current payables totaling $10,010. 

Transaction with Full Circle Manufacturing Group, Inc. – New Jersey Processing Center

On December 10, 2012, we entered into the following agreements allowing us to rent real property, and equipment and receive manufacturing, distribution and consulting services with the entities and sole owner, who is a member of our Board of Directors, as more fully described below.
 
Effective January 1, 2013, and beginning on February 1, 2013, GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #4, an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub #4”) commenced an operating Lease Agreement with NY Terminals II, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("NY Terminals") and related party, whereby Acquisition Sub #4 agreed to lease certain real property owned by NY Terminals for a five-year term at a monthly rate of $30,000.

Effective January 1, 2013, and beginning on February 1, 2013, as a part of the same transaction, Acquisition Sub #4 commenced a capital Equipment Lease Agreement with Full Circle Manufacturing Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Full Circle"), a related party, whereby it agreed to lease Full Circle's equipment for $32,900 a month for a term of five years (refer to Note 8). The Company also commenced a Consulting Agreement with Joseph A. Ioia, the sole shareholder of Full Circle and sole member of NY Terminals ("Mr. Ioia"), in which the Company engaged Mr. Ioia, and agreed to compensate Mr. Ioia, to serve as a consultant for the Company.
 
Effective December 10, 2012, as more fully described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we executed a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement (the “M&D Agreement”) with Full Circle and a consulting agreement with Mr. Ioia, whereby Full Circle, under the supervision of Mr. Ioia, operates Full Circle to process recyclable glycol streams and sell glycol as remanufactured product at our direction.   Under the M&D Agreement, Full Circle agreed to perform the manufacturing and distribution services relating to its glycol recycling business using the GlyEco Technology™, to exclusively produce remanufactured glycol for the sole benefit of us and to use the Intellectual Property (“IP”) sold to us by Mr. Ioia covering the worldwide right, title, and interest in Mr. Ioia’s exclusive glycol remanufacturing process.  We acquired the IP for consideration of $2,000,000 in cash and 3,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.50 per share in 2012. Mr. Ioia became a director of the Company on January 15, 2013.
 
Interim Management Agreement with MMT Technologies, Inc.

Effective August 26, 2013, GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #3, an Arizona subsidiary and wholly owned corporation of the Company (“Acquisition Sub #3”) entered into an Interim Management Agreement with MMT Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MMT Technologies”), and Otho N. Fletcher, Jr., principal of MMT Technologies (the “MMT Principal”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub #3 assumed control of the operations of MMT Technologies’ antifreeze recycling business in anticipation of the closing of the transaction contemplated by that certain Asset Purchase Agreement originally entered into on May 24, 2012, by and between the Company, Acquisition Sub #3, MMT Technologies, and the MMT Principal (the “MMT Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Interim Management Agreement, the Company (through Acquisition Sub #3) purchased two vehicles and assumed control of MMT Technologies’ business and all of the assets to be assigned to Acquisition Sub #3 pursuant to the MMT Agreement in exchange for $50,000 in cash, which will be deducted from the aggregate purchase price outlined in the MMT Agreement.

On March 21, 2014, the Company completed the MMT Acquisition, by acquiring all business and all assets in exchange for 204,750 shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company valued at a current fair market value of $1.03 per share determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date.

Merger of GSS Automotive Recycling, Inc. with and into GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7

Effective September 30, 2013, GSS Automotive Recycling, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“GSS Automotive Recycling”), merged with and into GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7, an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub #7”), with Acquisition Sub #7 continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 27, 2013 (the “GSS Agreement”), by and among the Company, Acquisition Sub #7, GSS Automotive Recycling, Joseph Getz, an individual (“Getz”), and John Stein, an individual (“Stein” and collectively with Getz, the “GSS Shareholders”).

Pursuant to the GSS Agreement, the Company (through Acquisition Sub #7) purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of GSS Automotive Recycling’s common stock from the GSS Shareholders in exchange for $430,000 in cash and 455,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock, valued at the then current fair market value of $1.12 per share determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date.

As a result of the merger, Acquisition Sub #7 has assumed operations and all of the assets of GSS Automotive Recycling’s business located in Landover, Maryland, relating to processing recyclable glycol streams, primarily used as antifreeze, and reselling glycol as remanufactured product. We are in the process of integrating their operations into ours.

The acquisition of GSS includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the provision of $1.00 credit to the GSS Shareholders towards the purchase of additional shares of the Company for each additional $1.00 of Gross Profits (as defined in the GSS Agreement) that Acquisition Sub #7 earns in excess of $72,000 through December 31, 2014. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could owe under this arrangement is estimated to be between $0 and $38,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date of approximately $0 was estimated based on the present value of projected payments, which were based on projected gross profit through 2014. These calculations and projections are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which ASC 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 25 percent as well as an increasing level of revenues and expenses based on probability factors at the acquisition date.

At December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated the cash flow projections included in the contingent consideration and determined that there was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration.
 
During 2013, the Company completed the Evergreen, Full Circle, MMT Technologies and GSS Automotive Recycling transactions (the “Transactions”) in order to expand our market within North America, obtain synergies and cost efficiencies among the Transactions and GlyEco, and where economically feasible, add our technological advances to already operating facilities. As a result of the Transactions, we expect to reduce costs through economies of scale. The goodwill of $619,819 arising from the Transactions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations and expanding our market.
 
The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid during 2013 for the Transactions and resolution of previous contingent consideration, and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the effective acquisition date:

The Company has placed in escrow 200,000 shares to be released to the former owners upon the passage of one year as long as no undisclosed contingencies arise as more fully described in the documents. As of December 31, 2013, the amount recognized for the contingent consideration arrangement is included in the purchase price as we consider the possibility that the shares will not be released from escrow as remote. The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets of $356,500 is provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those assets.
 
The amounts of the Transactions’ revenue and earnings included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the revenue and earnings of the combined entity had the acquisition date been done on January 1, 2012, are:

NOTE 7 – Income Taxes
 
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $9,980,000 and $6,400,000, respectively, adjusted for stock based compensation and certain other non-deductible items available to reduce future taxable income, if any. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2028, and fully expires in 2033. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carryforward, by having taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.
 
The deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31:

The change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,230,000 and $605,000, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and recorded a full valuation allowance.
 
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE 8 – Capital Lease

Acquisition Sub #4 entered into a capital Equipment Lease Agreement with Full Circle, a related party as its sole owner is on our Board of Directors, whereby it agreed to lease Full Circle's equipment for $32,900 a month for a term of five years with an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease for $200,000. The net present value of the equipment is estimated at $1,714,974 based on a 9% discount rate. The lease is amortized over the five year term at a rate of 9%. The equipment acquired included a distillation column and infrastructure, tanks and related equipment, filtration equipment, and vehicles. Depreciation on the cost of its equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life, ranging from five to twenty-five years, and zero salvage value.

At December 31, 2013, the value of the assets under the capital lease was $1,637,101, net.  The depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $77,873.

Future minimum lease payments are due as follow:

Year Ended December 31, Principal  Interest

NOTE 10 – Convertible Note Payable
 
On August 9, 2008, Global Recycling issued a convertible promissory note to Leonid Frenkel, a principal stockholder, registered in the name of “IRA FBO Leonid Frenkel,” for $1,000,000 and bearing interest at 10.0% per annum (the “Frenkel Convertible Note”). Interest payments were due semi-annually in cash or shares of Global Recycling common stock. The Frenkel Convertible Note was convertible into 575,350 shares, at any time prior to maturity, at the option of the holder, into Global Recycling common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The Frenkel Convertible Note was secured by a lien on Global Recycling’s provisional patent application, including the GlyEco TechnologyTM Patent. The holder was also granted 480,000 warrants at $0.025 per share at the time the Frenkel Convertible Note was issued. The warrants expired on September 8, 2013.

The Frenkel Convertible Note’s original due date was extended to March 31, 2012.  Nonpayment of the principal or interest due and payable within 10 days of such amount being due is an “Event of Default” under the terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note. An Event of Default may also occur if Global Recycling breaches any material terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note, files bankruptcy or ceases operations. In the event of default, at the holder’s election, the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest of the Frenkel Convertible Note may be due and payable immediately.

On April 3, 2012, the Company executed a Note Conversion Agreement (the "Conversion Agreement") with Mr.  Frenkel. The terms of the Conversion Agreement extended the maturity date for the convertible note (the “Frenkel Convertible Note”) to December 31, 2013, with interest accrued at a rate of 12.5% compounding semi-annually, and waived any and all claims of demand arising from or related to a default on the Frenkel Convertible Note prior to the Conversion Agreement. The Conversion Agreement further stated that Mr. Frenkel would convert all money owed into a combination of common and Series AA preferred stock on the date that the Company had received an aggregate of $5,000,000 in equity investment following the date of the Conversion Agreement and warrants. Of the debt converted, $470,000 would be converted into common stock at $1.00 per share or the price offered to any investor subsequent to the Conversion Agreement, if lower. The remainder would be converted into Series AA preferred stock at $1.00 per share or the price offered to any investor subsequent to the Conversion Agreement, if lower. The Series AA preferred stock shall in all respects be the same as common stock, except for the following features: (i) the Series AA preferred stock shall accrue a dividend of 12.5% per year, compounded semi-annually; (ii) the Series AA preferred stock shall have priority in payment upon liquidation over common stock to the extent of the $1,171,375 and all accrued but unpaid dividends; (iii) the Series AA preferred stock shall automatically convert into common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $1 of the Series AA preferred stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends if the closing price on the common stock on the OTC/BB is $5.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, or if the stock is listed on NYSE or NASDAQ; (iv) the original issue price of $1,171,375 plus all accrued but unpaid dividends shall be due and payable on December 31, 2013 if the Series AA preferred stock is not converted to common stock under the terms herein by such date; and (v) the Series AA preferred stock shall provide that the holder may not voluntarily convert into common stock to the extent that the holder will beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. As of February 15, 2013 the amount outstanding under the convertible note, including principal and interest, totaled $1,641,375.
 
On February 15, 2013, the Company satisfied the terms of the Conversion Agreement, upon receiving an aggregate of $5,000,000 in equity investment. At this time, the Company issued to Mr. Frenkel 940,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share, 2,342,750 shares of Series AA preferred stock at a price of $0.50 per share, and 940,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The estimated value of the warrants totaling $392,170 were expensed under interest expense during 2013. Interest expense of $24,913 was recorded during 2013 for the period from January 1, 2013 through the date the notes payable were converted to the common and Series AA preferred stock.  Upon conversion of the Series AA preferred stock to Common Stock, the Company will issue warrants at a price of $1.00 per share for each share of the Series AA preferred stock that is converted.  The Series AA preferred stock is shown on the balance sheet as Mandatorily redeemable Series AA convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 2013.

On December 31, 2013, the Company and Mr. Frenkel entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Conversion Agreement, pursuant to which the redemption date of the Series AA preferred stock was extended to January 31, 2014. On January 31, 2014, the Company and Mr. Frenkel entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Conversion Agreement, pursuant to which the redemption date of the Series AA preferred stock was further extended to March 15, 2014.
 
On March 14, 2014, Mr. Frenkel converted the Series AA preferred stock under the Conversion Agreement into 2,342,750 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  As consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Series AA preferred stock, an additional 262,763 shares of common stock were issued at a price of $0.50 per share. Of these combined shares, 1,946,280 shares were issued to Mr. Frenkel, and 659,233 shares were issued to Triage Capital Management L.P.  Additionally, per the terms of the Conversion Agreement, a three-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock was issued for each share of common stock received in the conversion with each such warrant having an exercise price of $1.00.  Therefore, Mr. Frenkel received 2,605,513 such warrants in connection with the conversion of the Series AA preferred stock. The accounting for the extension from January 1, 2014 to March 14, 2014 of the redemption has not been determined and will be included in our first quarter 2014 results.

We account for share based payments for goods and services to non-employees in accordance with ASC Subtopic 505-50 that requires that all such payments shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. In order to evaluate whether the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued is more reliable, we calculate the fair value of each. Primarily we have had contractual obligations owed and goods and services related to working capital exchanged for units in our private placements at their issue price to the public.

To determine the fair value of shares issued for acquisitions, we used the fair value determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date on the OTCQB Market.

The common shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because such purchasers represented that they were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Cash received from shares issued under private placements during the year ended December 31, 2013, was $8,178,471, net of $367,915 of stock issuance costs. 

Share-Based Compensation
 
As of December 31, 2013 the Company had 2,794,100 common shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s stock plans. (See Note 12)

During 2013 and 2012, there were no forfeitures or expirations under our stock plans.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $0.44 per option.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the intrinsic value of options outstanding was $4,859,581, and of options exercisable was $6,310,476.

All options exercised were done so by means of a cashless exercise, whereby the Company received no cash and issued new shares.

We account for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.
 
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model as our method of valuation. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the BSM model is affected by our stock price as well as other assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to:
 
Expected term is generally determined using weighted average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices selected by us as representative, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award, due to our limited trading history;
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential forfeitures.

Litigation

The Company may be party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (collection actions, etc.) are typical for a Company of our size and scope of operations. Currently, there are no pending legal proceedings. However, the Company is aware of two matters that involve potential claims against the Company that it is at least reasonably possible that a claim may be asserted. In the first matter, the Company had retained an entity to assist in the raising of capital. The Company believes that the entity has violated the terms of our contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $100,000. In the second matter, the Company had a contract with an entity to provide project management services. The entity has billed for amounts above their contract amount for services that the Company believes were included in the scope of work of their contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $129,000. [Management believes both of these possible claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend themselves should a formal claim be made.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and occupational health and safety. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental remediation liabilities or asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. However, if a release of hazardous substances occur, or is found on one of our properties from prior activity, we may be subject to liability arising out of such conditions and the amount of such liability could be material.

NOTE 15 – Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below.

·  Cash and cash equivalents – Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk are cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had $3,828,685 in cash which was not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.
·  Major customers and accounts receivable – Major customers represent any customer that accounts for more than 10% of revenues for the year.  During 2013, the Company had two customers that accounted for 23% and 29% of revenues and whose accounts receivable balance (unsecured) accounted for approximately 23% and 7% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.  During 2012, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 62% of revenues.

Upon the consummation of the Reincorporation, the Company was the surviving corporation and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company replaced the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of ECVL.
On November 28, 2011, the Company consummated a reverse triangular merger (the "Merger" or "Transaction") as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 21, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), with GRT Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Global Recycling Technologies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation and privately-held operating subsidiary ("Global Recycling"). Global Recycling was incorporated in Delaware on July 11, 2007.
GRT Acquisition, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2011 for the purpose of consummating the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GRT Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into Global Recycling, with Global Recycling being the surviving corporation and which resulted in Global Recycling becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
We were formed to acquire the assets of companies in the business of recycling and processing waste ethylene glycol, and to apply a newly developed proprietary technology to produce ASTM E1177 Type I virgin grade recycled ethylene glycol to end users throughout North America.
On December 30, 2011, Global Recycling's wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Acquisition Corp. #6 ("Global Sub #6"), a Delaware corporation, was dissolved. Global Sub #6 ceased operations on December 31, 2009, when the assets (including rights to additive formula and goodwill) were sold in an exchange for the common shares of Global Recycling. Prior to its sale, Global Sub #6 operated as a chemical company selling additives used in producing antifreeze and heat transfer fluid from recycled ethylene glycol. Sales of additives were discontinued upon the sale of the assets effective December 31, 2009.
On January 9, 2012, the Company, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Recycling, consummated a merger pursuant to which Global Recycling merged with and into the Company (the "Global Merger"), with the Company being the surviving entity.

The 11,591,958 shares of Common Stock of Global Recycling (constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Recycling on the effective date of the Global Merger) held by the Company pursuant to the reverse merger consummated on November 28, 2011, were cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.
Currently, the Company is actively acquiring operating entities involved in the recycling of waste ethylene glycol and is consolidating and streamlining their operations.


NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
BasisNet Loss per Share Calculation

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of Presentationshares outstanding during a period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the net income, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. The Company has other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect in both 2013 and 2012 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation include Series AA Preferred Stock, options and warrants. At December 31, 2013, these securities included warrants of 19,530,441 and stock options of 10,133,506 for a total of 29,663,947. At December 31, 2012, these securities included warrants of 12,307,558 and stock options of 6,837,606 for a total of 19,145,164. In addition, at December 31, 2013, there are 2,342,740 common shares that can potentially be issued upon the conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2012.

We derived the December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Interim results are subject to seasonal variations and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GlyEco, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation. The subsidiaries include: GlyEco Acquisition Corp #1 ("Acquisition Sub #1”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #2 ("Acquisition Sub #2”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #3 ("Acquisition Sub #3”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #4 ("Acquisition Sub #4”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #5 ("Acquisition Sub #5”); GlyEco Acquisition Corp #6 ("Acquisition Sub #6”); and GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7 (“Acquisition Sub #7”).

Operating Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing the performance of the segment. Operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics, among other criteria. The Company operates as one segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedstatement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingenttheir respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. An allowance for the deferred tax asset is established if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation
All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are expensed based on their estimated fair values at the grant date, in accordance with ASC 718. Compensation expense for stock options is recorded over the vesting period using the estimated fair value on the date of grant, as calculated by the financial statements andCompany using the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. BecauseBlack-Scholes model. The Company classifies all share-based awards as equity instruments.

NOTE 3 – Accounts Receivable
As of March 31, 2014, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. Ultimately we hope to achieve viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized from the facilities added in 2013. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 – Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We account for an acquisition of a business, as defined in ASC Topic 805, as required by an analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs associated with the transactions. Intangible assets that we acquire are recognized separately if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or if they are separable and are recorded at fair value less accumulated amortization. We analyze intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and period at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recorded to address these matters include raising additional financing through offering our sharesoperations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of capital stocksuch assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets.

Goodwill is recorded as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in private and/the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill; however, we annually, or public offeringswhenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our securities and through debt financing if available and needed.the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company plans to become profitable by realizing synergies and cost reduction opportunitiesmeasures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with acquisitions madeit. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds fair value. Our test of goodwill impairment includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performance. Based on our analysis, no impairment loss was recorded in 2013 and 2014, upgrading2012 as the capacitycarrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets did not exceed the estimated fair value determined. Any future increases in fair value would not result in an adjustment to the impairment loss that may be recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

InventoriesAs of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $9,980,000 and $6,400,000, respectively, adjusted for stock based compensation and certain other non-deductible items available to reduce future taxable income, if any. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2028, and fully expires in 2033. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carryforward, by having taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.

Common Shares for Cash  9,357,578  $8,178,471 
Warrants and Options Exercised  757,864  $- 
We account for share based payments for goods and services to non-employees in accordance with ASC Subtopic 505-50 that requires that all such payments shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. In order to evaluate whether the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued is more reliable, we calculate the fair value of each. Primarily we have had contractual obligations owed and goods and services related to working capital exchanged for units in our private placements at their issue price to the public.

To determine the fair value of shares issued for acquisitions, we used the fair value determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date on the OTCQB Market.

The common shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because such purchasers represented that they were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Cash received from shares issued under private placements during the year ended December 31, 2013, was $8,178,471, net of $367,915 of stock issuance costs.

Share-Based Compensation
As of December 31, 2013 the Company had 2,794,100 common shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s stock plans. (See Note 12)

During 2013 and 2012, there were no forfeitures or expirations under our stock plans.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $0.44 per option.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the intrinsic value of options outstanding was $4,859,581, and of options exercisable was $6,310,476.

All options exercised were done so by means of a cashless exercise, whereby the Company received no cash and issued new shares.

We account for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model as our method of valuation. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the BSM model is affected by our stock price as well as other assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to:
Expected term is generally determined using weighted average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices selected by us as representative, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award, due to our limited trading history;
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential forfeitures.

Litigation

The Company may be party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (collection actions, etc.) are typical for a Company of our size and scope of operations. Currently, there are no pending legal proceedings. However, the Company is approximately $1,300,000. Depreciation expenseaware of two matters that involve potential claims against the Company that it is at least reasonably possible that a claim may be asserted. In the first matter, the Company had retained an entity to assist in the raising of capital. The Company believes that the entity has violated the terms of our contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $100,000. In the second matter, the Company had a contract with an entity to provide project management services. The entity has billed for amounts above their contract amount for services that the Company believes were included in the scope of work of their contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $129,000. [Management believes both of these possible claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend themselves should a formal claim be made.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and occupational health and safety. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental remediation liabilities or asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. However, if a release of hazardous substances occur, or is found on one of our properties from prior activity, we may be subject to liability arising out of such conditions and the amount of such liability could be material.

NOTE 15 – Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below.

·  Cash and cash equivalents – Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk are cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had $3,828,685 in cash which was not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.
·  Major customers and accounts receivable – Major customers represent any customer that accounts for more than 10% of revenues for the year.  During 2013, the Company had two customers that accounted for 23% and 29% of revenues and whose accounts receivable balance (unsecured) accounted for approximately 23% and 7% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.  During 2012, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 62% of revenues.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted the framework for measuring fair value that establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date;

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation is generated from model-based techniques with the unobservable assumptions reflecting our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are reflected in the balance sheet at their estimated fair values primarily due to their short-term nature. As to long-term capital leases and notes payable, estimated fair values are based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, which represent level 3 input levels. The Company has not engaged in any transaction involving derivative instruments. Fair value accounting has been applied to the initial valuation of warrants and options issued, intangible assets, and goodwill, which is discussed in the respective notes.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Net Loss per Share Calculation

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the net income, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. The Company has other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect in both 2013 and 2012 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation include Series AA Preferred Stock, up until the date of its redemption, options and warrants. At December 31, 2013, these securities included warrants of 19,530,441 and stock options of 10,133,506 for a total of 29,663,947. At December 31, 2012, these securities included warrants of 12,307,558 and stock options of 6,837,606 for a total of 19,145,164. In addition, at December 31, 2013, there are 2,342,740 common shares that can potentially be issued upon the conversion of the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2012.

Provision for Taxes
 
The Company accounts for ourits income taxes in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. An allowance for the net deferred tax asset is established if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation
 
All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are expensed based on their estimated fair values at the grant date, in accordance with ASC 718. Compensation expense for stock options is recorded over the vesting period using the estimated fair value on the date of grant, as calculated by the Company using the Black-Scholes model. The Company classifies all share-based awards as equity instruments.
 
See Note 12 for a description of the Company’s share-based compensation plans and information related to awards granted under the plans.
 
Non-employee stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the goods or services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

Certain prior year numbers have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have not affected the net loss as previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
NOTE 3 – Accounts Receivable
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's net accounts receivable was $898,934 and $116,963, respectively.

NOTE 56 – Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We account for an acquisition of a business, as defined in ASC Topic 805, as required by an analysis of the inputs, processes and outputs associated with the transactions. Intangible assets that we acquire are recognized separately if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or if they are separable and are recorded at fair value less accumulated amortization. We analyze intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and period at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recorded to operations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets.

Goodwill is recorded as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill; however, we annually, or whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than ourits carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds fair value. Our test of goodwill impairment includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performanceperformance. Based on our analysis, no impairment loss was recorded in 2013 and 2012 as the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets did not exceed the estimated fair value determined. Any future increases in fair value would not result in an adjustment to the impairment loss that may be recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

Merger of GSS Automotive Recycling, Inc. with and into GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7

Effective September 30, 2013, GSS Automotive Recycling, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“GSS Automotive Recycling”), merged with and into GlyEco Acquisition Corp. #7, an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub #7”), with Acquisition Sub #7 continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 27, 2013 (the “GSS Agreement”), by and among the Company, Acquisition Sub #7, GSS Automotive Recycling, Joseph Getz, an individual (“Getz”), and John Stein, an individual (“Stein” and collectively with Getz, the “GSS Shareholders”).

Pursuant to the GSS Agreement, the Company (through Acquisition Sub #7) purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of GSS Automotive Recycling’s common stock from the GSS Shareholders in exchange for $430,000 in cash and 455,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock, valued at the then current fair market value of $1.12 per share determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date.

As a result of the merger, Acquisition Sub #7 has assumed operations and all of the assets of GSS Automotive Recycling’s business located in Landover, Maryland, relating to processing recyclable glycol streams, primarily used as antifreeze, and reselling glycol as remanufactured product. We are in the process of integrating their operations into ours.

The acquisition of GSS includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the provision of $1.00 credit to the GSS Shareholders towards the purchase of additional shares of the Company for each additional $1.00 of Gross Profits (as defined in the GSS Agreement) that Acquisition Sub #7 earns in excess of $72,000 through December 31, 2014. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could owe under this arrangement is estimated to be between $0 and $38,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date of approximately $0 was estimated based on the present value of projected payments, which were based on projected gross profit through 2014. These calculations and projections are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which ASC 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 25 percent as well as an increasing level of revenues and expenses based on probability factors at the acquisition date.

At December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated the cash flow projections included in the contingent consideration and determined that there was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration.
During 2014,2013, the Company completed the Evergreen, Full Circle, MMT Technologies transactionand GSS Automotive Recycling transactions (the “Transactions”) in order to expand our market within North America, obtain synergies and cost efficiencies among MMT Technologiesthe Transactions and GlyEco, and where economically feasible, add our technological advances to already operating facilities. As a result of the transaction with MMT Technologies,Transactions, we expect to reduce costs through economies of scale. The goodwill of $55,992$619,819 arising from the acquisition of MMT TechnologiesTransactions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations and expanding our market.

NOTE 67 – Income Taxes
 
As of MarchDecember 31, 2014,2013 and 2012, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $10,880,000$9,980,000 and $6,400,000, respectively, adjusted for stock based compensation and certain other non-deductible items available to reduce future taxable income, if any. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2028, and fully expireexpires in 2033. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carryforward, by having taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and 2012 to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.
 
The deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31:

The change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,230,000 and $605,000, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and recorded a full valuation allowance.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

We account for share based payments for goods and services to non-employees in accordance with ASC Subtopic 505-50 that requires that all such payments shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. In order to evaluate whether the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued is more reliable, we calculate the fair value of each. Primarily we have had contractual obligations owed and goods and services related to working capital exchanged for units in our private placements at their issue price to the public.

To determine the fair value of shares issued for acquisitions, we used the fair value determined by using the average closing price from the preceding five days up to the transaction closing date on the OTCQB Market.

The common shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because such purchasers represented that they were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Cash received from shares issued under private placements during the year ended December 31, 2013, was $8,178,471, net of $367,915 of stock issuance costs.

Share-Based Compensation
As of December 31, 2013 the Company had 2,794,100 common shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s stock plans. (See Note 12)

TableFor the year ended December 31, 2013, the intrinsic value of Contentsoptions outstanding was $4,859,581, and of options exercisable was $6,310,476.

All options exercised were done so by means of a cashless exercise, whereby the Company received no cash and issued new shares.

We account for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model as our method of valuation. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the BSM model is affected by our stock price as well as other assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to:
 
Expected term is generally determined using weighted average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award;

Expected volatility of award grants made under the Company’s plans is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of similar industry indices selected by us as representative, which are publicly traded, over the expected term of the award, due to our limited trading history;

Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and,

Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by the Company and management's analysis of potential forfeitures.

Litigation

The Company may be party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (collection actions, etc.) are typical for a Company of our size and scope of operations. Currently, there are no pending legal proceedings. However, the Company is aware of two matters that involve potential claims against the Company that it is at least reasonably possible that a claim may be asserted. In the first matter, the Company had retained an entity to assist in the raising of capital. The Company believes that the entity has violated the terms of our contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $100,000. In the second matter, the Company had a contract with an entity to provide project management services. The entity has billed for amounts above their contract amount for services that the Company believes were included in the scope of work of their contract. The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $129,000. [Management believes both of these possible claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend themselves should a formal claim be made.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and occupational health and safety. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental remediation liabilities or asset retirement obligations as of MarchDecember 31, 2014.2013 and 2012. However, if a release of hazardous substances occur, or is found on one of our properties from prior activity, we may be subject to liability arising out of such conditions and the amount of such liability could be material.

NOTE 15 – Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below.

·  Cash and cash equivalents – Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk are cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had $3,828,685 in cash which was not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.
·  Major customers and accounts receivable – Major customers represent any customer that accounts for more than 10% of revenues for the year.  During 2013, the Company had two customers that accounted for 23% and 29% of revenues and whose accounts receivable balance (unsecured) accounted for approximately 23% and 7% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.  During 2012, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 62% of revenues.

GLYECO , INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
GlyEco, Inc. (the "Company", “we”, or “our”) is a green chemistry company that collects and recycles waste glycol into a reusable product that is sold to third party customers in the automotive and industrial end-markets. Our proprietary technology, GlyEco TechnologyTM, allows us to recycle all five major types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable in any glycol application.  We are dedicated to conserving natural resources, limiting liability for waste generators, safeguarding the environment, and creating valuable green products.  We currently operate seven processing centers in the United States with our principal offices located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our processing centers are located in (1) Minneapolis, Minnesota, (2) Indianapolis, Indiana, (3) Lakeland, Florida, (4) Elizabeth, New Jersey, (5) Rock Hill, South Carolina, (6) Tea, South Dakota, and (7) Landover, Maryland.

Currently, the Company is actively acquiring operating entities involved in the recycling of waste ethylene glycol and is consolidating and streamlining their operations.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2014, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We derived the December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  Interim results are subject to seasonal variations and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and as of December 31, 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company has yet to achieve profitable operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations and to ultimately achieve viable operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

The Company’s plans to address these matters include, raising additional financing through offering its shares of capital stock in private and/or public offerings of its securities and through debt financing if available and needed. The Company plans to become profitable by upgrading the capacity and capabilities at its existing operating facilities, continuing to implement its patent-pending technology in international markets, and acquiring profitable glycol recycling companies, which are looking to take advantage of the Company’s public company status and improve their profitability through a combined synergy. The Company expects gross margins to increase as the costs associated with integration continue to decline and sales of our T1TM material reach plan levels.
NOTE 3 – Inventory

As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s total inventories were $506,077.

NOTE 4 – Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $11,480,000 adjusted for stock based compensation and certain other non-deductible items available to reduce future taxable income, if any. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2028, and fully expire in 2033. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carryforward, by having taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.

All options exercised were done so by means of a cashless exercise, whereby the Company received no cash and issued new shares.

We account for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures. As of June 30, 2014, there were $481,610 of unrecognized compensation expenses related to share-based payment arrangements. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years. The company has sufficient shares to satisfy expected share-based payment arrangements in 2014.

NOTE 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation

The Company may be party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.  The Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (collection actions, etc.) are typical for a Company of our size and scope of operations.  Currently, there are no pending legal proceedings.  The Company is aware of a potential claim that is at least reasonably possible of being asserted regarding a contract dispute with a firm retained to assist in the raising of capital.  The estimated range involved in this dispute is from $0 to $100,000.    Management believes this possible claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend ourselves should a formal claim be made.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and occupational health and safety.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental remediation liabilities or asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2014.  However, if a release of hazardous substances occurs, or is found on one of our properties from prior activity, we may be subject to liability arising out of such conditions and the amount of such liability could be material.

NOTE 8 – Subsequent Events

Registration of Securities

On June 30, 2014, we began the process of registering approximately 37.2 million shares of our issued and outstanding shares that are currently restricted in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  We will not receive any proceeds from the registration process and we are unable to determine when the registration process will be completed.
Warrant Exercises

On July 1, 2014, the Company issued 6,268,628 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the exercise of 6,268,628 warrants.

The Company temporarily reduced the exercise price of all of its non-compensatory outstanding warrants to $0.50 per share for a period beginning on June 4, 2014, and ending on July 1, 2014 (the “Temporary Exercise Period”). During the Temporary Exercise Period, forty-six warrant holders exercised a total of 6,268,628 warrants and therefore purchased 6,268,628 shares of common stock in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $3,134,314.  We received exercise funds of $1,673,182 prior to the exercise date and this amount was credit to additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014.

The Company utilized the services of two FINRA registered placement agents during the Temporary Exercise Period. In connection with the warrant exercises, the Company paid an aggregate cash fee of approximately $60,869 to such placement agents. The net proceeds to the Company from the warrant exercises, after deducting the foregoing cash fee, were approximately $3,073,445, of which $1,400,263 was received in July 2014.

The securities issued in connection with the warrant exercises have not been registered under the Securities Act, and were made pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The securities are therefore restricted in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Consulting Agreement with Richard Geib

On August 4, 2014, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Technical Officer, Richard Geib.

The Consulting Agreement supersedes the terms of the Consulting Agreement previously entered into between Global Recycling Technologies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Global Recycling”), and Mr. Geib on May 3, 2010, which the Company assumed upon the consummation of a reverse triangular merger with Global Recycling on November 28, 2011.

The Consulting Agreement is for a term of two years and may be extended for additional one-year terms by written agreement. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Geib will assist in the further development and implementation of the Company’s proprietary technology for recycling glycol, the GlyEco TechnologyTM, and perform such other duties as requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

In consideration for his services during the term, the Company will compensate Mr. Geib with an initial engagement fee of $50,000, a monthly consulting fee of $12,500 per month for the first year of the term, a to be determined monthly consulting fee for the second year of the term, and a total of 2,700,000 warrants to purchase shares of GlyEco common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at an exercise price of $0.73 per share, of which half shall vest immediately and the remaining amount shall vest on August 4, 2015, for which we expect to record non-cash stock compensation expense during the remainder of 2014 of an estimated $500,000.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Under Nevada law, a corporation may include in its articles of incorporation a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, but no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, (c) for conduct violating the Nevada General Corporation Law (“NGCL”), or (d) for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
 
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statues (“NRS”) provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
 
NRS Section 78.4502 also provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Any indemnification pursuant to the above provisions may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide, among other things, that a director or officer of the corporation may be indemnified against expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees inclusive of any appeal), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted under the NGCL, unless it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Directors and officers of the corporation cannot be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except (a) for acts of omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS.
 
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding, which may result in a claim for such indemnification.
 
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In connection with the reverse triangular merger with GRT Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Global Recycling, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Global Recycling”) effective on November 28, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,626,241 shares of Common Stock, 11,591,958 shares of which were issued to the stockholders of Global Recycling and 3,034,283 were issued to non-affiliated third parties.

The issuance of 11,591,958 shares of GlyEco Common Stock issued to the stockholders of Global Recycling in connection with the merger was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on the following facts to make this exemption available: (i) the common stock were issued to the existing stockholders of Global Recycling, of which no more than 35 were non-accredited investors and therefore did not exceed the maximum purchaser limitation; (ii) the stockholders of Global Recycling were provided with the information provided by Rule 502(b)(2)(vi) of the Securities Act, (iii) the Company did not violate the general solicitation rules; and (iv) all of the securities have the status of securities acquired in a transaction under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and cannot be resold without registration or an exemption therefrom.
 
The issuance of 3,034,283 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued to non-affiliated parties pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that the issuance was an isolated issuance and did not involve a public offering of securities.
 
On February 11, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 325,400 shares to two investors.  Of the shares issued, 400 shares were issued to an existing shareholder pursuant to a warrant purchase agreement at a price of $0.50 per share.  The remaining 325,000 shares were issued to one accredited investor at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.  The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, such purchasers represented that they were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
On May 18, 2011 the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares to one investor at a price of $1.00 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $100,000). The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, such purchaser represented that they were an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investor made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

On November 9, 2011 and November 18, 2011, Global Recycling issued an aggregate of 110,000 shares to two investors at a price of $0.50 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $55,000).  The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act.  All investors were “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The share certificates were legended with restrictions on resale. The Company assumed this warrant upon the consummation of the Merger.
 
 
On December 3, 2011 and December 19, 2011 the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 shares to two investors at a price of $0.50 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $100,000). The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder due to the facts that there were a limited number of purchasers, such purchasers represented that they were an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investors made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are deemed to be restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
On December 21, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to one investor at a price of $0.50 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $500,000).  The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because such purchaser represented that they were an “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investor made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Recycool Agreement are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Company issued theses shares pursuant to the registration exemptions of the Securities Act afforded the Company under Section 4(2) thereunder.

On January 4, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock for the exercise of 100,000 warrants issued in exchange for services at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (an aggregate purchase price of $50,000). The warrants exercised vested immediately upon issuance and were converted at a rate of one warrant for one share of Common Stock.  The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because such purchaser represented that they were “accredited investors” as such term is defined under the Securities Act and the sale did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The investor made investment representations that the shares were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.  The shares of Common Stock issued are restricted under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
 
The information required by this item is set forth on the Exhibit Index that follows the signature page of this registration statement.
 
Item 17. Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 (1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
 (i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
 (ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 (iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
 (2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 (3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
  
 (4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
  
 (5)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
