FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011 and 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period ended September 30, 2011 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2010 audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-K. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ended December 31, 2011.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $587,653 and has an accumulated net loss totaling $26,456,467. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company is currently in the development stage and has not realized significant sales through September 30, 2011. A development stage company is defined as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

Reclassification
On the cash flow statement the Company has re-classed what was formerly “Accrued Interest Included in Related Party Note Consolidation” to be now included in “Payments of notes payable-related parties”.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE
Notes Payable – Related Party
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has borrowed $1,167,478 from related parties. These notes bear interest at 10% and are due beginning in July of 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, accrued interest expense on these notes totaled $87,321.
On January 19, 2011 the Company set up a line of credit with a limit of $200,000 from a director with an interest rate of 10% and an expiration date of July 31, 2012. The Company borrowed $100,000 on the line of credit on January 19, 2011, and borrowed the remaining $100,000 on April 19, 2011.
Convertible Notes Payable
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has issued $1,010,655 in convertible debt. These notes bear interest at 10% and are due beginning in January of 2012. The notes and accrued interest are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. The Company has analyzed these notes in accordance with ASC 470 and determined that there is no beneficial conversion feature related to the conversion terms of the notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, accrued interest expense on these notes totaled $66,498.
On January 19, 2011 the Company issued a convertible note for $494,962 to two unrelated parties that paid off loans of $267,500 and accrued interest of $27,462 to a director leaving $100,000 available for operations.

This report contains these types of statements. Words such as “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or “continue” or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
ForeverGreen Worldwide is a holding company which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ForeverGreen International, LLC. We intend to continue our emphasis as a total lifestyle company focused on bringing our domestic and international Members and customers the exclusive FrequenSea™ product, any new products and ForeverGreen Compensation Plan earnings and commissions. In addition, our focus is to assist prospective Members in creating a home based business with home business training, mentorship and accountability to promote our residual income stream opportunities. We also intend to provide organic chocolates, weight management products, convenient whole foods for meals and snacks, personal care products and essential oils to our domestic Members and customers. As our international markets mature, additional ForeverGreen products may also be introduced in each international market. We will seek relations with key vendors to continue developing cutting edge products that are exclusive to our Members.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 (“2011 nine month period’) we experienced a sales growth trend that is continuing into the third quarter of 2011. We have experienced a significant increase in sales in the 2011 nine month period as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 (“2010 nine month period”) primarily as the result of the introduction of our new brand line “VERSATIVA” which is designed to improve our business opportunity for our independent distributors. The new brand line introduction “VERSATIVA” was critical to the enrollment of several experienced entrepreneurs in our industry. We anticipate that the increase in sales will continue in the short term.
In February of 2011 we began our pre-launch phase of VERSATIVA and introduced two unique products. The first new product in the new VERSATIVA line is called Hemp Pulse, which has 27 organic and/or clean whole foods, with hemp as the major ingredient. Hemp Pulse has three different fruit base choices: cherry, raspberry and blueberry. Hemp Pulse is manufactured in ForeverGreen’s own manufacturing facility. Hemp Pulse is also available in bars. The second new product in the VERSATIVA line is called Hemphoria, which is a 24 times liquid concentrate. Hemphoria is a whole seed concentrate with our complimentary proprietary blend of peace and happiness.
ForeverGreen introduced a new VERSATIVA product called “Inspirin” and began the pre-launch of this product on July 20, 2011. The Company formally launched Inspirin at the November International convention. Inspirin has several unique ingredients and advantages. It contains antioxidants, essential fatty acids, all 20 amino acids, nuts, marine phytoplankton, natural minerals and a complete natural protein source. In addition to helping with anti-aging and nutrition, Inspirin also helps build and tone muscle, relieve stress and relieve aches. The product is gluten free and aids with digestion.

Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to respond to the economic conditions and properly manage our systems and logistics centers around the world to support the demand for our products and the business opportunity. Included in this challenge is the need to continue to create a customer service and Member satisfaction level at the highest quality. Overcoming economic down turns will require skilled personnel, and manufacturing and shipping facilities. Management intends to modify our operating activities, especially production and order fulfillment, for the current economic environment as well as prepare the Company for the upturn of demand as people continue to look for other income opportunities and choose ForeverGreen as the company they can align with for their future.
We are expanding our markets and exclusive products and we anticipate the need to expand our international logistics centers. The rewards include increased sales and diversified market incomes. However, international expansion is very expensive and key Members must experience rapid growth to be profitable in a foreign country.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 we invested in marketing and advertising to facilitate our expected growth. At September 30, 2011, cash increased to $284,438 and we recorded a net loss of $587,653 for the 2011 nine month period. We also had negative working capital of $3,323,783 at September 30, 2011. Our net loss increase for the 2011 nine month period compared to the 2010 nine month period was directly related to the additional expenses related to our growth plan for 2011 and the cost associated with having to re-audit 2008 and 2009 due to the deregistration by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) of our previous auditor. The losses and negative working capital for the 2011 nine month period raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management intends to continue to increase revenues and manage expenses, improving profitability and the liquidity of ForeverGreen.
During the 2011 nine month period we relied on our revenues and additional funding to fund operations along with a line of credit of $200,000, which is secured with the guarantee of two stockholders, and we also relied upon loans from related and third parties totaling $778,899. We are currently looking forward to and investing in the growth of our Company due to the signing of several top industry leading entrepreneurs and their down-lines. Management will continue to scrutinize expenses related to our operating activities and order fulfillment to determine appropriate actions to take to reduce these costs.
Management anticipates that any cash shortfalls will be covered by debt financing. We may pay these loans with cash, if available, or convert these loans into common stock. We may also issue private placements of stock to raise additional funding or to pay for services provided to us. Any private placement likely will rely upon exemptions from the registration requirements provided by federal and state securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available options. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, our shareholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Our total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $5,279,364 compared to $4,212,340 at December 31, 2010. The majority of the increase is reflected in notes payable increasing by $978,899 and the remaining increase is primarily due to increases of our bank overdraft, related party notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. ForeverGreen International used these funds from these parties during the 2011 nine month period to increase inventory, pay costs associated with the re-audit of 2008 and 2009 and to pay additional operational costs needed to support our expected growth.
ForeverGreen has two building leases for office, production warehouse space in Orem, Utah. We are currently on a month-to-month lease for our office space at a monthly rent of $1,500. The production warehouse lease for $8,531 per month began September 1, 2006 and expires August 31, 2013 with provisions for an automatic five year extension. All leases have a provision for an annual increase of 3%. The buildings ForeverGreen leases are sufficiently large enough to accommodate all of our administrative, warehouse and production needs. ForeverGreen
9
also has an office in Mexico with a one year lease, paying $2,000 per month, and an office in Colombia with a one year lease, paying $840 per month. In 2011 ForeverGreen added an office in Costa Rica with a one year lease, paying $1,500 per month. In April 2011 we added an office in Chile with a one year lease and monthly payments of $1,390.
Our total current liabilities at September 30, 2011 reflect the continued use of a line of credit and bank overdraft, along with accounts payable and notes payable. Our accounts payable of $802,107 were primarily related to vendor purchases. Our accrued expenses of $1,926,054 were related to commissions payable, sales tax payable, foreign GST and VAT taxes payable, interest payable and payroll taxes payable. We also carry notes payable and lines of credit of $2,178,133 related to loans from related parties as well as third parties. These notes carry 10% interest and have due dates through January 31, 2012.
Accounts payable also include monetary settlements agreed to in two legal actions which will require the Company to make payments to third parties. We are obligated to pay an aggregate settlement of $120,000; to be paid in twenty–four, $5,000 monthly payments to resolve the settled litigation. As of September 30, 2011 we have three more payments remaining.

Our source of revenue is from the sale of various foods, other natural products, distributor sign ups and kits and freight and handling. Sales are net of returns, which have historically been less than 0.2% of sales; however, for the 2011 nine month period net returns were 0.86%, down from 1.4% in the 2010 comparable periods. Sales for the 2011 nine month period increased 31.1% compared to the same period in 2010. Sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 (“2011 third quarter”) increased 39.5% compared to the same period in 2010. We attribute these increases to the introduction of our new brand VERSATIVA and having several top industry leaders join as distributors.
Cost of sales consists primarily of sales commissions paid to our distributors, the cost of procuring and packaging products, and the cost of shipping product to Members, plus credit card sales processing fees. Cost of sales was approximately 75% of revenues for the 2011 periods compared to approximately 67% of revenues for the 2010 nine month period and approximately 69% for the 2010 third quarter. The 2011 increase was mostly attributable to the rising fuel costs in shipping and handling and increased costs paid in our distributor commissions plan “the ForeverGreen People’s Plan” compared to the previous commissions plan. In addition, we recognized one-time transitional commission expense paid to a key leader which ended in July 2011.
Total operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the 2011 nine month period by almost 4.2%, but increased in dollars by $358,776 as compared to the 2010 nine month period. These expenses also decreased as a percentage of sales in the 2011 third quarter by 2.7%, but increased in dollars by $145,474 as compared to the 2010 third quarter. This increase is mostly attributable to the traveling costs associated with increased distributor and Company activities and the costs related to the required re-audit of 2008 and 2009. In 2009 a goodwill impairment of $5,777,627 was recorded, but no goodwill impairment was needed in the 2010 interim periods, or to date in the 2011 interim periods.
General and administrative expenses increased by $211,112 for the 2011 nine month period as compared to the 2010 nine month period and increased by $37,624 for the 2011 third quarter compared to the 2010 third quarter. This is due to increased advertising, marketing, and travel expenses associated with distributor and Company activities. Salaries and wages increased in the 2011 interim periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to the hiring of new executive in February 2011. Professional fees increased by $102,883 for the 2011 nine month period and increased by $20,134 for the 2011 third quarter compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase in professional fees were directly associated with the required re-audit due to the deregistration of our previous auditor by the PCAOB. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $43,228 in the 2011 nine month period and by $15,801 in the 2011 third quarter from the 2010 comparable periods due to only small asset
11
purchases in 2011.
Despite increased revenues for the 2011 interim periods as compared to the 2010 comparable periods, our net loss for the 2011 nine month period was $587,653 with a net loss per share of $0.04. This compares to a net loss in the 2010 nine month period of $228,729 with a net loss per share of $0.02. For the 2011 third quarter our net loss was $39,390 with a net loss per share of $0.01 compared to a net loss of $76,718 with a net loss per share of $0.01 in the 2010 third quarter. The net loss is due to management’s decision to support increased distributor sign ups and leader enrollments which is creating growth in 2011 and is expected to create future growth throughout 2011. We expect by the end of this fiscal year our percentage of expenses to revenues will be closer to what they were at year end 2010.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We account for our investments in our subsidiary using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the consideration paid for a subsidiary over the fair value of acquired tangible assets less the fair value of acquired liabilities is assigned to intangible assets and goodwill. We rely on an independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to identifiable intangible assets, and the useful lives of those assets. We amortize identifiable intangible assets over their useful life unless that life is determined to be indefinite. The useful life of an intangible asset that is being amortized is evaluated each reporting period as to whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating fair value to all assets and liabilities acquired; the excess of the price paid over the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities acquired is the implied fair value of goodwill.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In April 2011 we reevaluated our policies and methods related to impairment of goodwill and determined that an adjustment to the value of goodwill was required for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Accordingly, we restated our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and have instituted new policies and methods for determination of impairment of goodwill for future reports.
Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in “Internal Control - Integrated
12
Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management determined that there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors Affecting Future Performance
Actual costs and revenues could vary from the amounts we expect or budget, possibly materially, and those variations are likely to affect how much additional financing we will need for our operations.
Management plans to increase sales and decrease expenses where appropriate to improve profitability. Our future internal cash flows will be dependent on a number of factors, including:
•
The growth of the United States and the global economy;
•
Our ability to encourage our Members to sponsor new Members and increase their own personal sales;
•
Our ability to promote our product lines with our Members and customers;
•
Our ability to develop successful new exclusive product lines;
•
Our ability to obtain essential oil raw materials for some of our products;
•
Effects of future regulatory changes in the area of direct marketing, if any;
•
Our ability to remain competitive in our domestic and international markets; and
•
Our ability to decrease shipping time and expense.
Our expansion into foreign markets exposes our business to risks related to those economies which may result in loss of revenues.
We have entered into agreements with Members and suppliers in foreign countries and we may establish similar arrangements in other countries in the future. As a result, our future revenues may be affected by the economies of these countries. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, such as, longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory environments, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, potentially adverse recessionary environments and economies outside the United States, and possible political and economic instability.
