GLYECO, INC. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
GlyEco, Inc. (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.
The Company has principal offices in Phoenix, Arizona, and was 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 periods ended September 30, 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 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 and to ultimately achieve viable operations. 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. As such, the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm expressed an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion attached to the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet data contained herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and adjustments for business combinations, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
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. The Company operates as one segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, items such as, the value of stock-based compensation, the allocation of purchase price in the various acquisitions, and the realization of goodwill, other intangibles, and their estimated lives.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of September 30, 2013, the Company maintained cash balances in an interest bearing account that currently exceeds federally insured limits. However, the Company has reviewed the stability of the financial institution(s) holding the deposits and does not believe that we have a significant credit risk. 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. When a right of return exists, the Company defers revenues until the right of return expires. 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.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost paid for any products sold, including any costs for freight.
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. The Company writes off trade receivables when it determines that they have become uncollectible. 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.
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.
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) or 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. |
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. The Company did not engage in any transaction involving derivative instruments.
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 net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, potential dilutive securities that had an anti-dilutive effect were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. These securities included warrants of 20,867,703 as of September 30, 2013 and stock options of 10,215,506 as of September 30, 2013. In addition, there are 2,342,750 shares or $1.00 per share of common shares that can potentially be issued within the Series AA Preferred Stock.
Provision for Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB 740, 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.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for all share-based payment awards made to employees including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values, using Black-Scholes.
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 services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable. The fair value of options to be granted are estimated on the date of each grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized ratably over the option's vesting periods, which approximates the service period.
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 September 30, 2013, the Company's net accounts receivable was $187,760.

NOTE 4 – Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company's finite lived intangible assets associated with its acquisitions will be amortized. Goodwill from acquisitions will be subject to review for impairment. Management reviews these assets for impairment at least on an annual basis and at other times when existing conditions raise substantial questions about their book values. A charge to impairment expense for impairment is recognized in the period in which management determines that the assets are impaired. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

NOTE 5 – Income Taxes
The Company had net operating losses (NOLs) as of September 30, 2013 of approximately $7,700,000 for federal tax purposes, portions of which are currently expiring each year through 2032. The Company may be able to utilize its NOLs to reduce future federal and state income tax liabilities. However, these NOLs are subject to various limitations under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382. IRC Section 382 limits the use of NOLs to the extent there has been an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points. In addition, the NOL carry-forwards are subject to examination by the taxing authority and could be adjusted or disallowed due to such exams. Although the Company has not undergone an IRC Section 382 analysis, it is possible that the utilization of the NOLs could be substantially limited. The Company has no tax provision for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 due to losses and full valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 9,475,079 warrants to purchase its common stock while recording stock compensation expense for these warrants of $98,249 using the BSM option pricing model based upon the following assumptions: term ranging from 3-5 years, risk free interest rate of 0.60 - .70% a dividend yield of 0% and a volatility rate of 40%.
Fair Value Assumptions
Share-based compensation cost is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date and offering date, respectively, based on the fair-value as calculated by the BSM. The BSM option-pricing model incorporates various assumptions including expected volatility, expected life and interest rates. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a pool of publicly traded companies in similar activities, and other relevant factors. The Company bases its expected life assumption on its historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards it grants to employees and consultants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost as expense ratably over the periods in which vesting occurs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred stock compensation expense of $839,210.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes which form an integral part of the financial statements which are attached hereto.
Company Overview
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, allows us to recycle all five types of waste glycol into a virgin-quality product usable for any glycol application. We are dedicated to conserving natural resources, limiting cradle to grave liability for waste generators, safeguarding the environment, and creating valuable green products.
We currently operate at eight facilities in the United States. The facilities are located in (1) Minneapolis, Minnesota, (2) Indianapolis, Indiana, (3) Lakeland, Florida, (4) Elizabeth, New Jersey (the "New Jersey Facility”), (5) Rock Hill, South Carolina, (6) Tea, South Dakota, (7) Landover, Maryland, and (8) Newell, West Virginia (the "West Virginia Facility"). Our facilities in New Jersey and West Virginia are glycol concentrate facilities that receive shipments of waste glycol by third-party rail or truck carriers and recycle the waste glycol into a concentrate glycol. Our facilities in Minnesota, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Maryland are 50/50 antifreeze facilities that employ truck drivers to pick up waste antifreeze from vehicle repair shops and other waste antifreeze producers, transport the material to their recycling facilities, recycle the material into a 50/50 antifreeze, and resell the material often to the same customers that generates waste antifreeze.
We continue to integrate and increase the sales of our 50/50 antifreeze recycling facilities. We have completed initial GlyEco TechnologyTM upgrades and are producing ASTM E1177 Type 1 recycled glycol at the New Jersey facility. As we continue to enhance the New Jersey facility, we anticipate an increase in the production of Type 1 and other glycol products. We plan to upgrade, expand, and implement the GlyEco TechnologyTM at the other facilities as feedstock sources and volumes expand.
In the United States, we 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, China, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and South America.
Strategy
Our strategy is to continue to expand our customer base, both in the regions we currently serve and in new regions across North America and abroad. The principal elements of our business strategy are to:
Integrate and Increase Profits. We intend to continue integrating and implementing best practices across all aspects of our operating facilities, 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 intend to implement new accounting, invoicing, and logistics management systems. We intend to implement the full GlyEcoTM brand via marketing initiatives and product packaging. 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.
Further Upgrade the New Jersey Facility. We have completed initial technology upgrades and are producing Type 1 compliant recycled glycol for commercial use. We are currently in the process of fully implementing the GlyEco TechnologyTM — consisting of an investment in equipment and build-out services to upgrade and expand the facility.
Pursue Selective Strategic Relationships or Acquisitions. We intend to grow our market share by consolidating feedstock supply through partnering with waste collection companies or acquiring other glycol recycling companies. 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.
Enter International Markets. We intend to move our 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, Mexico, and South America. We believe that moving into international markets will further establish the Company as a leader in glycol recycling and will add profits to the bottom line.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Financial Statements contained in Part I of this Form 10-Q document certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Net Sales were $3,813,747, compared to $895,390 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $2,918,357, or 325.9%. The increase in Net Sales was due to the revenues generated from Acquisition Sub #4, as well as associated net sales from the acquisitions of Renew Resources, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company ("Renew Resources"), Antifreeze Recycling, Inc., a South Dakota corporation ("ARI"), and Evergreen Recycling, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Evergreen").
Cost of Goods Sold
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Cost of Goods Sold was $3,310,686, compared to $738,780 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $2,571,906 or 348.1%. The increase in Cost of Goods Sold was due to the associated Cost of Goods Sold from the acquisitions of Renew Resources, ARI, and Evergreen, as well as those Cost of Goods Sold attributed to Acquisition Sub #4. Cost of Goods Sold consists of all costs of sales, including costs to purchase, transport, store and process the raw materials, and overhead related to product manufacture and sale. We sometimes receive raw materials (used antifreeze) at no cost to the Company. This can have an impact on our reported consolidated gross profit.
Gross Profit
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we realized a gross profit of $503,061, compared to $156,610 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $346,451, or 221.2%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the acquisitions of Renew, Resources, ARI, and Evergreen as well as initiation of operations through Acquisition Sub #4. Our gross profit margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately 13.2%, compared to approximately 17.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily attributable to additional, one-time costs for the integration of our facilities, which were expensed as Cost of Goods Sold in compliance with GAAP absorption costing. The additional costs caused the production costs per unit to exceed the revenues per unit produced.
Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, operating expenses increased to $2,496,990 from $1,287,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $1,209,759, or 94.0%. Operating expenses consist of Consulting Fees, Share-Based Compensation, Salaries and Wages, Legal and Professional Fees and General and Administrative Expenses. This increase is attributable to the Company's expansion through its acquisition strategy and related costs to fund operations.

The increase is primarily due to the Company's expansion through its acquisition strategy and related costs to integrate operations.
Share-Based Compensation is the expense for options and warrants issued to consultants or employees for work performed or as incentive for future performance. Share-Based Compensation increased to $839,210 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from $0 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $839,210, or 100.0%. The increase is due to an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of 1,640,500 compensatory options and 283,500 compensatory warrants.
Salaries and Wages consist of wages and taxes paid on behalf of employees. Salaries and Wages increased to $545,117 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from $355,034 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $190,083, or 53.5%.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, Legal and Professional Fees decreased to $185,636 from $265,361 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $79,725, or (30.0)%. The decrease is due to a reduction in the outsourcing of legal and professional work. This work is now increasingly performed by staff internal to the Company.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses consist of general operational costs of our business. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, G&A Expenses increased to $416,973 from $308,379 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $108,594, or 35.2%. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of our subsidiaries, Renew Resources, ARI, Evergreen, and GSS Automotive Recycling, operations at our NJ facility, and the associated costs of building out our infrastructure to support future growth of the Company.
Other Income and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Other Income and Expenses increased to $154,189 from $134,553 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, representing an increase of $19,636, or 14.6%. Other Income and Expenses consist of Interest Income and Interest Expense.

The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to costs related to recent acquisitions, as well as integration costs incurred as the Company streamlined its processes and procedures across its facilities. Our gross profit margin for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately (3.4)%, compared to approximately 23.2% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily attributable to additional, one-time costs for the integration of our facilities, which were expensed as Cost of Goods Sold in compliance with GAAP absorption costing. The additional costs caused the production costs per unit to exceed the revenues per unit produced.

The Company does not currently have sufficient capital to sustain its operations for the next 12 months. To date, the Company has financed its operations from the Frenkel Convertible Note (as discussed below) and private sales of its securities exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm has expressed uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion attached to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Frenkel Convertible Note
On August 9, 2008, Global Recycling issued the Frenkel Convertible 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. Interest payments were due semi-annually in cash or shares of Global Recycling common stock. The Frenkel Convertible Note was convertible, 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. The holder was also granted 480,000 warrants at $0.025 per share at the time the Frenkel Convertible Note was issued. The warrants were exercised on August 28, 2013.
Under the terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note, nonpayment of the principal or interest payments within 10 days of such payments being due is an “Event of Default.” An Event of Default also occurs if Global Recycling breaches any material terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note, files bankruptcy or ceases operations. Upon an Event of Default, at the note holder’s election, the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest of the Frenkel Convertible Note may be due and payable immediately.
The Frenkel Convertible Note matured on August 9, 2010. However, Global Recycling entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated August 11, 2010 (the “First Forbearance Agreement”), with Mr. Frenkel. The First Forbearance Agreement extended the maturity date of the Frenkel Convertible Note to March 31, 2012, and the interest rate was retroactively increased to 12.5% per annum, effective March 9, 2010. Also, the First Forbearance Agreement modified the default terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note such that the interest rate on the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest under the Frenkel Convertible Note would increase to 18% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. In connection with the First Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Frenkel warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of Global Recycling Common Stock at $.00025 per share with an expiration of December 31, 2011. Mr. Frenkel exercised all 400,000 warrants on August 11, 2010.
The First Forbearance Agreement expired on November 30, 2010 because Global Recycling did not pay the interest due by this date. Subsequently, based on the terms of the First Forbearance Agreement, the Frenkel Convertible Note became payable on demand. Mr. Frenkel agreed to extend the expiration date for the payment of the interest due, rather than exercise his right to perfect his interest in the collateral that secures the loan.
On May 25, 2011, Global Recycling entered into a second forbearance agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”) with Mr. Frenkel. The terms of the Frenkel Convertible Note, the maturity date of March 31, 2012, and the interest rate of 12.5% per annum remained unchanged from the First Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Forbearance Agreement, Global Recycling granted Mr. Frenkel warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Global Recycling common stock for $.0001 per share until May 25, 2015. The agreement provided that the warrant shares shall not be reduced for a reverse stock split. The Second Forbearance Agreement expired on December 31, 2011 because Global Recycling did not pay the accrued and payable interest of $431,692. As a result of failing to pay the interest due, Global Recycling defaulted on the Frenkel Convertible Note.
Pursuant to the reverse triangular merger involving Global Recycling and the Company, the Company assumed the Frenkel Convertible Note, Second Forbearance Agreement and warrants issued by Global Recycling to Mr. Frenkel in connection with the note.
On April 3, 2012, the Company entered into a Conversion Agreement with Mr. Frenkel. The terms of the Conversion Agreement extended the maturity date for 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 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. Four hundred and seventy thousand dollars ($470,000) of the debt 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 features 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 Original Issue Price 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 of the Company 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 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 this debt, 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. 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 Company anticipates Mr. Frenkel will convert his Series AA preferred stock prior to December 31, 2013.
Private Financings
On February 15, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,673,578 shares of Common Stock to forty-two accredited investors in consideration for $1,737,826 ($0.65 per share) under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
On August 15, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,650,000 shares of Common Stock to twenty-three accredited investors in consideration for $2,650,000 ($1.00 per share) under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
On September 30, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 4,390,000 shares of Common Stock to thirty accredited investors and one non-accredited investor in consideration for $4,390,000 ($1.00 per share) under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Going Concern Uncertainties
As of September 30, 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 and to ultimately achieve viable operations. These consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties and have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Our plans to address these matters include raising additional financing through offering shares of capital stock in private and/or public offerings of 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 its business operation or permit the Company to implement its intended business strategy. The Company plans to become profitable by upgrading the capacity and capabilities at its existing operating facility, 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.
Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had material capital expenditures of $3,846,364, consisting of equipment purchases for $2,879,399 and construction in process totaling $966,965.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2013, that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to inadequate staffing to timely and accurately process all of the consolidated entities. While the company maintains significant controls and procedures, there were defects that require remediation. Due to this weakness management has taken additional time to review all transactions to ensure the integrity of the financial reporting contained in this Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, we continued to implement our remedial procedures to correct the material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-Q for the period ending on March 31, 2013. Those procedures were as follows:
1. Expanded our accounting policy and controls organization by recently hiring qualified accounting and finance personnel;
2. Increased our efforts to educate our accounting personnel on the application of the internal control structure;
3. Emphasized with management the importance of our internal control structure;
4. Sought outside consulting services when our existing accounting personnel believed the complexity of an accounting transaction exceeded our internal capabilities.
We believe that the foregoing actions have vastly improved our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. However, due to inadequate staffing we have not been able to assimilate the accounting systems of the recent acquisitions, process our daily transactions, and maintain timely financial reporting. We intend to commit additional resources to attempt to avoid material weaknesses in the future.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
