As filed, 25,090 characters.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere within this report. Certain statements we make under this Item 2 constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in “Part I” preceding “Item 1 – Financial Statements.” You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

### Overview

Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) is an environmental services and technologies company developing and delivering patented and proprietary solutions to the global power industry. Our leading-edge services have been shown to achieve mercury emissions removal at a significantly lower cost and with less operational impact to coal-fired power plants than currently used methods, while maintaining and/or increasing power plant output and preserving the marketability of byproducts for beneficial use.

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

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

The MATS regulation has been subject to legal challenge since being enacted. In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the EPA unreasonably failed to consider costs in determining whether it is “appropriate and necessary” to regulate hazardous air pollutants, including mercury, from power plants, but left the rule in place. On remand, following the Supreme Court’s instructions to consider costs, the EPA in April 2016 issued a final supplemental finding reaffirming the MATS rule on the ground that it is supported by the cost analysis the Supreme Court required. That supplemental finding remains under review by the D.C. Circuit. In April 2017, the EPA asked the court to place that litigation in abeyance, stating that the Agency then under the Trump Administration was reviewing the supplemental finding to determine whether it should be reconsidered in whole or in part. The court granted the EPA’s abeyance request which has remained in place. In April 2020, the EPA concluded that the 2016 supplemental finding was flawed in part due to its reliance on co-benefits to justify MATS and withdrew EPA’s 2016 “appropriate-and-necessary” determination as erroneous, but left the 2011 MATS rule in place pursuant to D.C. Circuit case law holding that a source category may only be removed from the list of categories to be regulated through a rigorous delisting process that cannot currently be satisfied by the EPA. Upon taking office, the Biden Administration in January 2021 directed the EPA to review the previous Administration’s actions on various environmental matters including the withdrawal of the “appropriate and necessary” determination, for conformity with Biden Administration environmental policy. In February 2021, the Biden Administration requested that the judicial review of the supplemental finding withdrawal be held in abeyance which was granted by the court and remains in place. On January 31, 2022, the EPA issued a proposal to revoke the reconsideration step made by the EPA in April 2020 and affirm that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate hazardous pollutants for coal and oil-fired EGUs.

Nevertheless, legal challenges may continue with respect to the MATS regulation which could extend uncertainty over the status of MATS for a number of years. Investors should note that any changes to the MATS rule could have a negative impact on our business.

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

We continue to seek new utility customers for our technology in order for them to meet the MATS requirements as well as maintaining our contractual arrangements with our current customers. We also seek license agreements with utilities while allowing them to use our SEA® technologies without our supply of products. During 2021 and early 2022, we have announced various supply contract extensions, new supply business and license agreements. We expect additional supply business and license agreements during the remainder of 2022 and thereafter, including converting certain licensees to supply customers.

In February 25, 2019, we were able to complete the restructuring of our unsecured and secured debt obligations held by AC Midwest Energy LLC extending the maturity dates of these debts until 2022 and eliminating quarterly principal payment requirements. This restructuring reflected the commitment of our financial partner in our efforts to attract new business, manage our present customers and monetize our patent portfolio. In June 2021, we announced that we had entered into a Debt Repayment and Exchange Agreement with AC Midwest which will repay all existing secured and unsecured debt obligations held by AC Midwest. Pursuant to such agreement, we will repay the existing $0.3 million secured note outstanding in cash as well as the existing $13.2 million principal amount outstanding under the unsecured note held by AC Midwest through a combination of cash and stock. AC Midwest is also entitled to a certain non-recourse profit share under the unsecured note which will be satisfied through a combination of cash and stock. The closing is subject to various conditions including but not limited to the completion of an offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of at least $12.0 million by December 31, 2021, which has been extended to June 30, 2022.

From June through October 2019, we raised $2,600,000 in a private placement offering of 12.0% unsecured convertible promissory notes and warrants sold and issued to certain accredited investors. In February 2021, $50,000 of such principal was voluntarily converted into shares of common stock, and in June 2021, the remaining principal balance of $2,550,000 was voluntarily converted by the holders thereof into shares of common stock of the Company.

In July 2019, we announced that we had initiated patent litigation against defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of certain patents which relate to our two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA®) process for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants. Between July 2020 and January 2021, we entered into agreements with each of the four major utility defendants in the patent litigation commenced in 2019 which agreements included certain monetary arrangements and pursuant to which we have dismissed all claims brought against each of them and their affiliates, and such parties have withdrawn from petitions for Inter Partes Review with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Such agreements entered into with such parties provide each of them and their affiliates with a non-exclusive license to certain Company patents (related to our two-part Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA®) process) for use in connection with such parties’ coal-fired power plants. One of the agreements has facilitated an ongoing business relationship with that party. The above described proceedings are continuing with respect to the other parties involved. In May 2021, a U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that such litigation should be permitted to proceed against 16 refined coal defendants named in the action directly involved in the refined coal program and operations, and be dismissed against 12 other defendants, primarily affiliated entities of the refined coal operators. In September 2021, such report and recommendation was approved by the District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Delaware which will allow us to proceed against certain refined coal entities named in the lawsuit. As a result of an application made by the Company to the Court in March 2022 to add additional parties to the action (all affiliated entities of the already named defendants), there are now 24 refined coal defendants named in the action. In connection with such application, the District Court Magistrate Judge ruled in April 2022 that certain parties could be added but denied the application with respect to certain others. A jury trial date has been scheduled for September 2023.

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

During the first quarter of 2021, we announced new technologies under development intended to improve the processing of rare earth elements (REEs) in North America. Such technologies are under development in conjunction with our collaboration with such Alabama third party entity and its affiliates. Such technologies focus on improving the cost of extracting rare earth minerals along with improving the environmental footprint of extracting those REEs from their solvent state. Such technologies are being evaluated and tested at Pennsylvania State University’s College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. While there can be no assurance, we are hopeful that these technologies can be commercialized at a future date.

In addition to the $2.6 million in convertible notes which were converted into shares of common stock in the first and second quarters as described above, during the first quarter of 2021, we eliminated $1,830,000 of other convertible notes originally issued in 2013 and 2018 through conversions to shares of common stock. During the third quarter of 2021, we issued 20,000 shares of common stock to a certain holder of notes issued in 2013 for the conversion of outstanding principal in the amount of $10,000 and prepaid the outstanding principal balance of another of such notes issued in 2013 in the principal amount of $10,000. As a result, there are no convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2021, compared to $4,450,000 in convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

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

### Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

It should be noted that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted various businesses throughout the world since early 2020, including travel restrictions and the extended shutdown of certain businesses in impacted geographic regions. During this time, we have continued to conduct our operations while responding to the pandemic with actions to mitigate adverse consequences to our employees, business, supply chain and customers. Nevertheless, the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be uncertain. If the coronavirus situation does not improve during 2022 or should worsen, we may experience disruptions to our business including, but not limited to, the availability of raw materials, equipment, to our workforce, or to our business relationships with other third parties.

### Results of Operations

### Revenues

We generated revenues of approximately $3,342,000 and $3,027,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such revenues were primarily derived from sorbent product sales which were approximately $3,198,000 and $2,031,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in revenues from prior year period is primarily driven by increased sorbent product sales due to the increased supply demands in the coal-fired market as well as expansion of our customer base, offset by a decrease in licensing revenues which were approximately $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $946,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

### Costs and Expenses

Cost of sales were approximately $2,342,000 and $1,491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase in cost of sales of approximately $851,000 is primarily attributable to an approximate $1,167,000 increase in sorbent product sales in the first quarter compared to the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,486,000 and $1,453,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Total costs and expenses were approximately $4,476,000 and $3,441,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in total costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to the increase in cost of sales. In addition, there was a gain on extinguishment of debt recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the approximate amount of $299,000, for which there was not a comparable item recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest expense related to the financing of capital was approximately $498,000 and $676,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The breakdown of interest expense for the three months ended March 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

*(In thousands)*

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | 2021 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Interest expense on notes payable | $11 | $146 |
| Accelerated interest expense upon conversion of notes | - | 43 |
| Amortization of discount of notes payable | 457 | 457 |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs | 30 | 30 |
|  | $498 | $676 |

#### Table of Contents

Loss on change in fair value of profit share liability (relating to the restructured unsecured debt obligation held by AC Midwest Energy LLC) were approximately $149,000 and $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change is primarily attributed to an increase in the fair value of the profit share liability. There were no significant changes to the underlying model during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Gain on forgiveness of debt of $299,300 relates to the loan proceeds we received in April 2020 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act. Such loan was forgiven in January 2021 pursuant to the applicable PPP requirements.

### Net Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $1,148,000 and $418,000, respectively. Although revenues increased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period, such change in net loss was primarily due to the increase in cost of sales, together with the gain on extinguishment of debt which occurred in 2021 for which there was not a comparable item in the first three months of 2022, offset by a decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately $377,000 in cash on our balance sheet at March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $1,388,000 at December 31, 2021. Total current assets were approximately $3,428,000 and total current liabilities were approximately $15,827,000 at March 31, 2022, resulting in working capital deficit of approximately $12,399,000. This compares to total current assets of approximately $3,791,000 and total current liabilities of approximately $15,483,000 at December 31, 2021, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $11,692,000. Our accumulated deficit was approximately $68.3 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $67.1 million at December 31, 2021. Additionally, we had a net loss in the amount of approximately $1,148,000 and cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, we had approximately $377,000 in cash at March 31, 2022, and cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Further, we had a working capital deficit of $12.4 million, an accumulated deficit of $68.3 million at March 31, 2022, and had a net loss in the amount of approximately $1,148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, all existing secured and unsecured debt held by its principal lender in the principal amount of $13.4 million matures on August 25, 2022, other than the profit share liability, which is within four months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have taken steps to alleviate such doubt. During 2021, we eliminated $4,440,000 of convertible notes through conversions to shares of common stock and repaid $10,000 of convertible notes, leaving no convertible notes outstanding as of March 31, 2022. In addition, in June 2021, we announced that we had entered into a Debt Repayment and Exchange Agreement with our principal lender which, subject to various closing conditions, including but not limited to the completion of an offering of equity securities resulting in net proceeds of at least $12.0 million by June 30, 2022, will repay all existing secured and unsecured debt obligations held by such lender. Although we anticipate continued significant revenues in our business operations, no assurances can be given that we can obtain sufficient working capital through our business operations or that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to complete the transaction contemplated under the Debt Repayment Agreement by June 30, 2022, or at all, in order to sustain ongoing operations.

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

### Total Assets

Total assets were approximately $7,607,000 at March 31, 2022 versus approximately $8,135,000 at December 31, 2021. The change in total assets is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

### Total Liabilities

Total liabilities were approximately $18,856,000 at March 31, 2022 versus approximately $18,374,000 at December 31, 2021.

### Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists of net loss, adjusted by certain non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash provided operating activities of approximately $888,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1,897,000 was primarily due to an approximate $1,566,000 increase in net loss, an approximate $1,110,000 change in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $220,000 increase in share-based compensation and a $299,000 change in gain on forgiveness of debt.

### Investing Activities

There was no net cash provided or used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

### Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $2,677 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $503,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received $299,000 from the issuance of a note pursuant to a Second PPP Loan we received under the CARES Act and $247,000 from the exercise of warrants.

### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

#### Adjusted EBITDA

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

9

#### Table of Contents

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

The following table shows our reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

*(In thousands)*

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Net loss | $(1,148) | $(418) |
| Non-GAAP adjustments: |  |  |
| Depreciation and amortization | 60 | 75 |
| Interest and letter of credit fees | 498 | 676 |
| Income taxes | 14 | 3 |
| Gain on forgiveness of debt | - | (299) |
| Stock based compensation | 182 | 32 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $(394) | $69 |

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 4,382 characters.

### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

### Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Certain actions have been taken to address certain aspects of the material weaknesses disclosed above. As of January 1, 2020, we replaced our previous accounting software with a more efficient software package to manage our business activities and accounting needs. During the fourth quarter of 2019 we hired a new full-time Controller at our Corsicana, Texas location, closed our Lewis Center, Ohio office and moved our corporate headquarters to our Corsicana, Texas address which has allowed us to consolidate our manufacturing and distribution activities, bookkeeping and accounting at one location. As of October 21, 2020, our Controller was appointed and promoted to Chief Accounting Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company, and as of June 1, 2021, was appointed and promoted to Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we hired a financial consulting firm to assist us in bookkeeping and preparing financial statements for our SEC filings, assist us in evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting and assist us in other related matters.

Although we believe that these efforts effectively strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures as well as our internal control over financial reporting, our management team intends to continue to actively plan for and implement additional control procedures to improve our overall control environment and expect these efforts to continue throughout 2022 and beyond. Due to the nature of the remediation process, the need to have sufficient resources (cash or otherwise) to devote to such efforts, and the need to allow adequate time after implementation to evaluate and test the effectiveness of the controls, no assurance can be given as to the timing of achievement of remediation.
