ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
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.
Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to increase our systems capabilities and logistics centers around the world to keep up with the increased demand for our products and the business opportunity. Included in this challenge is the need to keep up with our growth so that our customer service and Member satisfaction remains at a high level. Overcoming growth challenges will require additional skilled personnel, and manufacturing and shipping facilities. Management will continue to surround themselves with key experienced personnel and vendors while evaluating expenses related to operating activities, especially production and order fulfillment, in order to make adjustments to improve profitability.
We are expanding our markets and exclusive products and we anticipate expanding our domestic and international logistics centers. The rewards include increased sales and diversified market incomes. International expansion is very expensive and key Members are required to experience rapid growth to be profitable in a foreign country.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2007, we had cash of $20,382; with negative working capital of $805,084. We had net income of $45,367 and revenues of $22,699,525; we financed our operations through revenues. Long-term debt of $4,008,698 was converted into common stock on February 27, 2007. The retirement of debt and the finalization of the merger with ForeverGreen International increased our cash flows and reduced the need for borrowings for operations; however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain profitability. Management will continue to scrutinize expenses related to our operating activities and order fulfillment to determine appropriate actions to take to reduce
3
these costs.
Our total assets decreased to $15,489,396 at December 31, 2007 compared to $16,084,106 at December 31, 2006. The reduction is primarily due to the ordinary fluctuations in the amount of inventory resulting from the timing of ordering and delivery of product; and a decrease in accounts receivable due to the receipt of a payment for settlement of a receivable of $237,196.
Our total liabilities decreased to $2,076,952 at December 31, 2007 compared to $6,857,041 at December 31, 2006. The reduction in the total liabilities was the result of converting notes payable to common stock in February 2007 and reduced accounts payable.
Management anticipates that any future additional capital needed for cash shortfalls will be provided 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. Any private placement likely will rely upon exemptions from registration provided by federal and state securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock then our shareholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.

Our source of revenue is from the sale of various food and other natural products and we recognize revenue upon shipment of a sales order. Sales are net of returns, which have historically been less than 0.2% of sales. Sales for 2007 increased significantly in comparison to 2006. This increase in sales is attributable to the acquisition of ForeverGreen. However, comparing Revenues for the combined subsidiaries ForeverGreen and Whole Living for 2006 as reported in the notes in the 2007 annual report (See Note 6 to the financial statements) the sales for 2007 increased by 8.9%. The additional growth in sales can be attributed to the implementation of the ForeverGreen Compensation Plan, new leadership, an expanded product line, active promotion of the product through the travels of corporate staff and doctors, increased recruitment and retention of customers, and improvements in service and customer satisfaction. Management anticipates that sales will continue to increase over the long term.
Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of procuring and packaging products, sales commissions paid to our Members, the cost of shipping product to Members, plus credit card sales processing fees. Cost of sales was approximately 71.8% of revenues for 2007 compared to 82% (See Note 6 to the financial statements) of revenues for 2006. Management anticipates that cost of sales in future periods will remain consistent as scales of economy are achieved and cost will decrease but will be offset by increases in distributor commissions as distributors consistently attain higher ranks in the compensation plan, higher commission associated with the Jump Start program and the 2008 compensation plan enhancements are paid out.
Sales commissions are paid to several levels of Members on each product sold. Sales commissions are paid on a monthly basis based upon their personal and group sales volume. Additional bonuses are paid weekly to Members. The overall payout average for sales commissions decreased less than 0.5% for 2007 compared to 2006 (See Note 6 to the financial statements). The decrease is attributed to additional payments made to the Brain Garden distributors for 2006 as a short-term transitional plan to move from the Brain Garden Unigen plan to the ForeverGreen Compensation Plan.
Total operating expenses increased for 2007 compared to 2006 (See Note 6 to the financial statements) as a result of increases in general and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses increased due to ForeverGreen and the higher operating costs of the new combined, larger company. General and administrative expenses include our general office, marketing, and travel related expenses.
Professional fees include payments to third-party operators in foreign offices, legal and accounting fees, programming and maintenance of our distributor and sales software, and other services. Professional fees decreased for 2007 compared to 2006 (See Note 6 to the financial statements) as efficiencies where achieved with the acquisition of ForeverGreen and the costs related to the acquisition reduced significantly in 2007.
5
Depreciation and amortization increased in 2007 compared to 2006 (See Note 2 to the financial statements) due to the addition of the assets of ForeverGreen and their related depreciation as well as asset acquisitions in 2007.
Total other expense for the 2007 year was related to interest expense on loans. Total other income for 2006 was primarily related to a gain of $145,000 gain on the valuation of warrants granted in 2002 that are now expired.
As a result of increased revenues in the 2007 we recorded net income for 2007 which resulted in a breakeven net income per share, we recorded a net loss for 2006 and net loss per share of $0.19 for 2006.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
We have three building leases for office, warehouse and production space in Orem, Utah. The aggregate monthly payments are $21,815 with total lease commitments of $1,009,579 through 2012. Rent expense for 2007 was $384,056 compared to $122,538 for 2006.
Our total liabilities at December 31, 2007 were $2,076,952 compared to $6,857,041 at December 31, 2006. The 2007 decreased was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. Accounts payable decreased by $533,464 as increased revenues generates cash. Notes payable decreased in 2007 as a result of loans provided by First Equity Holdings Corp. totaling $2,343,126, and loans from George and Brenda Brimhall that totaled $1,467,500. ForeverGreen International had borrowed these funds from the Brimhall’s through 2005 and this debt was consolidated as part of the acquisition of ForeverGreen International. ForeverGreen International had been paying principal and interest to the Brimhall’s since 2005. In February 2007 we converted these and other notes payable of $4,008,698 by issuing an aggregate of 2,005,313 shares to the note holders.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We account for our investments in our subsidiaries using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the consideration paid for subsidiaries 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.
For 2006 we determined that an adjustment to goodwill was required as part of the acquisition of ForeverGreen International. We calculated ForeverGreen International’s customer base intangible using a percentage of the gross margin of ForeverGreen International. We will amortize the customer base over a period of ten years. The amortization for 2007 was $85,590. In 2006 the 23% ownership in ForeverGreen International for the 2006 year resulted in an other expense of $53,933.
We record impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. At December 31, 2006, the company did an analysis of the combined assets and made an adjustment to the property and equipment for assets that no-longer had value to the corporation and which were fully depreciated. The aggregate amount of this adjustment is $963,097 for both the fixed assets and accumulated depreciation to remove those assets and the applicable accumulated depreciation associated with them. There was no affect on the income statement or the net value of the fixed assets or total assets as a result of this adjustment. The company did continuing analysis for the period ended December 31, 2007 and determined no adjustment to long term assets was needed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation
(formerly Whole Living, Inc.)
Orem, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (formerly Whole Living, Inc.) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor have we been engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (formerly Whole Living, Inc.) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15, the Company has a working capital deficiency, and has had negative cash flows from operations and recurring operating losses since inception, with the exception of the current year, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in those matters are also described in Note 15. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
The Company was incorporated on November 25, 1998 in the state of Utah. On November 30, 1998, Whole Living, Inc. acquired the assets, leases, product line and name of Brain Garden, L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company engaged in the marketing and distribution of various natural food products, oils and bath salts. The Company did business under the name of Brain Garden, and maintained its headquarters in Provo, Utah.
On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired many of the assets, lease obligations and much of the product line of Brain Garden. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of a business combination. Intangible assets such as distributor down lines, customer lists and product name identifications were recorded in the acquisition in the amount of $43,294 and were amortized over 60 months. The Company paid $283,800 for the purchase of Brain Garden assets, and assumed leases in the amount of $14,500. The Company also assumed an operating lease for office space which expired during 1999.
On May 24, 1999 the Company entered into an agreement to merge with Whole Living, Inc. a Nevada Corporation (WLN) which was a non-operating public company with cash of $150,000 and a note receivable of $650,000 from Whole Living, Inc. (Utah) for funds advanced in contemplation of the merger. Pursuant to the merger, WLN issued 400,000 post-reverse split shares of common stock to the shareholders of the Company for all outstanding stock of the Company. The merger was recorded as a reverse merger, with Whole Living, Inc. (Utah) being the accounting survivor. A reverse merger adjustment was made to the books of the Company to reflect the change in capital to that of WLN. No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in the reverse acquisition.
In March 2002, the Company incorporated Brain Garden, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary. The assets of the Company were subsequently transferred to Brain Garden.
On January 13, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement whereby it exchanged 1,266,667 shares of its post-reverse split common stock for a 23% interest in ForeverGreen International, LLC. a privately held company. This acquisition is accounted for on the equity method of accounting. As part of this reorganization the officers and directors of the Company resigned and officers of ForeverGreen International, LLC were appointed as officers of the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
ForeverGreen International, LLC was organized on February 19, 2003 in the state of Utah. The Company engages in the marketing and distribution of chocolate and various natural food products, oils and bath salts. In August 2005 the Company introduced FrequenSea, a nutritional beverage which includes marine phytoplankton, which helped the Company to increase sales dramatically. ForeverGreen International, LLC does business under the name of ForeverGreen International, and maintains its headquarters in Orem, Utah.
In conjunction with the January 13, 2006 acquisition the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 15:1 reverse split of its common shares, which was subsequently completed in February, 2006.
The companies operated under common management to distribute the products of both companies jointly as though from one company. The combined operation subsequently combined their product lines and created a new unified catalog.
On October 15, 2006, Whole Living, Inc. entered into an agreement to Purchase the remaining 77% interest of ForeverGreen International, LLC and to formally merge with Brain Garden Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Whole Living, Inc., to become effective December 31, 2006. They announced they would change the combined company name to ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation. The combined company sells products in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany and currently has plans to expand into other areas of the world. Whole Living, Inc. changed its name to ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation in December 2006.
During the last quarter of 2007, the company began operations in Mexico.
b. Recognition of Revenue
Revenues and costs of revenues from services are recognized during the period in which the services are provided. The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 104"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic
15
FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company’s source of revenue is from the sale of various food and other natural products. The Company recognizes the sale upon shipment of such goods. The Company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects for 30 days after the sale of their product. The Company extends this return policy to its distributors for a 30 day period and the consumer has the same return policy in effect against the distributor. Returns are less than 0.2% of sales for both periods presented. Revenues are reported net of returns. All conditions of FASB 48 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated accrual for returns where material.
Members are required to pay for products prior to shipment. Accordingly, we seldom carry accounts receivable and any balances carried would be minimal. Distributors typically pay for products in cash, by wire transfer or by credit card.
c. Principles of Consolidation
The December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet includes the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiaries ForeverGreen International LLC (Utah) and Brain Garden. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. The 2006 statement of operations include the books of Whole Living, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Brain Garden. The statement of operations also contains the effects of the 23% ownership of ForeverGreen International, LLC.
The December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations includes the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiaries ForeverGreen International LLC (Utah) and Brain Garden. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

d. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.

There are no reconciling items to net income for the computation of earnings per share at December 31, 2007 and 2006. There were 100,000 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2006 that were considered but were not included in computing diluted earnings per share calculation because their effects are anti-dilutive. These warrants expired prior to December 2007.

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2007. Factors considered in this assessment include recent and expected future earnings and the Company’s liquidity and equity positions. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against the entire amount of its net deferred income tax asset.
18
FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16,000,000. These carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and begin to expire in 2019. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized and may be significantly limited based on ownership changes as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. The management elected a conservative position for the income tax related to December 31, 2007 and did not estimate the utilization of the NOL but elected to completely allow for the available total deferred tax.
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
g. Property and Equipment
Expenditures for property and equipment and for renewals and betterments, which extend the originally estimated economic life of assets or convert the assets to a new use, are capitalized at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and other renewals of items are charged to expense. When items are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.
The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciable asset lives range from 3 to 7 years with leasehold improvements being depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the life of the improvements. Depreciation expense for the period ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $282,700, and $135,833, respectively.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (FASB) No.144, the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. At December 31, 2006, the company did an analysis of the combined assets and made an adjustment to the property and equipment for assets that no-longer had
19
FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
value to the corporation and which were fully depreciated. The aggregate amount of this adjustment is $963,097 for both the fixed assets and accumulated depreciation to remove those assets and the applicable accumulated depreciation associated with them. There was no affect on the income statement or the net value of the fixed assets or total assets as a result of this adjustment. The company did continuing analysis for the period ended December 31, 2007 and determined no adjustment to long term assets was needed.
h. Internal Use Software
In Compliance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP) 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project stage and, thereafter, capitalizes costs incurred in developing or obtaining internal use software and includes them in property and equipment, net. Certain costs, such as maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over a period on not more than three years using straight-line method. Total capitalized software costs at December 31, 2007 is $53,837.
i. Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market and valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists primarily of consumable food products and ingredients. Food products are discarded as they reach the expiration dates, because the food products are made with natural foods containing a minimum of preservatives. Non-food products are reviewed periodically to determine any obsolescence and a reserve is booked when appropriate. The products have expiration dates that range from 3 months on some of the food products to 2 years for non-food products. On December 31, 2007 and 2006 there was an allowance for obsolete inventory in the amount of $108,493 and $41,354 respectively.
j. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes) approximate the carrying values of such amounts.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

k. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
l. Stock Options and Warrants
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” ("SFAS 123(R)") which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No. 107 relating to SFAS 123(R).
SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
m. Capital Structure
The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with no par value. No preferred shares are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The rights and preferences of the preferred stock will be determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance.
The Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized at $0.001 per share common value, with 13,904,014 shares issued and outstanding. All common shares are entitled to one vote per share in all matters submitted to the shareholders.

m. Derivatives
Warrants issued that are potentially settled with free trading common stock are accounted for according to EITF Issue 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to fair value (calculated using the Black-Scholes method) at each balance sheet date and are reassessed to determine whether the warrants should be classified as a liability or equity. The corresponding fair value adjustment is included in the consolidated statements of operations as other expenses as the value of the warrants increases from an increase in the Company’s stock price at the balance sheet date and as other income as the value of the warrants decreases from a decrease in the Company’s stock price. The company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $0 and $145,000 in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
n. Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well-known, quality financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 each. The amounts held for the Company regularly exceed that amount.
The company has an agreement with one vendor that supplies 100% of a significant ingredient that is included in several top selling products. It could decrease sales significantly if that vendor were to discontinue the supply of this ingredient. There are other providers of that ingredient in the world, however, the Company considers this provider to have the very best quality, which is nutritionally superior to other sources of this ingredient, and has no intention of obtaining it from any other provider.

o. Equity Instruments
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" and EITF Issue No. 00-18, "Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees." The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. The Company recognized $0 and $101,250 for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
p. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patent and trademark costs. Patent costs are costs incurred to develop and file patent applications. Trademark costs are costs incurred to develop and file trademark applications. If the patents or trademarks are approved, the costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of 7 years for patents and 10 years for trademarks. Unsuccessful patent and trademark application costs are expensed at the time the application is denied. Management assesses the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances warrant such a review. In performing this assessment, management considers current market analysis and appraisal of the technology, along with estimates of future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets are less than the amount of unamortized assets.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE CONSIDERATION IN BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company accounts for its investments in its subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. The excess of the consideration paid for subsidiaries over the fair value of acquired tangible assets less the fair value of acquired liabilities is assigned to intangible assets and goodwill. The Company purchased a 23% share of ForeverGreen International LLC, by issuing 1,266,667 post split shares of common stock at $1.80 per share for a value of $2,280,000. The Company subsequently purchased the remaining 77% of ForeverGreen International LLC, by issuing 5,240,549 post split shares at $1.75 per share for a value of $9,170,961. The Customer Base intangible was calculated using a percentage of the gross margin of ForeverGreen International LLC. The Company will amortize the customer base over a period of ten years. The 23% ownership in ForeverGreen International LLC, for the year resulted in an entry to other expense in the amount of $53,933. The amortization for 2007 was $85,590. The Company obtained an independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to identifiable intangible assets, and the useful lives of those assets. 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. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and 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.

On March 17, 2008, our transfer agent Standard Registrar and Transfer Company filed an interpleader complaint in the Third District Court, State of Utah in and for Salt Lake County, Salt Lake Department to determine the status and ownership of ForeverGreen Share Certificate No. 5931 representing 20,000 shares of common stock. ForeverGreen claims that the certificate should be surrendered as the shares were not paid for because adequate consideration was not received from Mr. Fifield because he resigned his employment prior to the term ForeverGreen required of him. Mr. Fifield claims ownership of the certificate and has requested its transfer prior to ForeverGreen requesting a stop transfer on the certificate. Mr. Fifield has not returned the certificate and this action is ongoing. Management believes that Mr. Fifield’s probability of 100% receipt of the shares in this action is unlikely to be successful.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
(Continued)
During 2006 and 2007 Unique Sea Farms Limited supplied the marine phytoplankton to the Company; however, Marine Life Sciences, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“MLS”), acquired the worldwide rights to the exclusive blend of marine phytoplankton produced by Unique Sea Farms Limited. On March 28, 2008 ForeverGreen International entered into an exclusive world-wide marketing agreement with Marine Life Sciences LLC (“MLS”) that provided that MLS would supply ForeverGreen International with processed marine phytoplankton for a term of five years. If the ForeverGreen International satisfies the term of the agreement for the initial five year term it will have the option to renew the agreement for an additional five years.
Under the agreement ForeverGreen International agreed to purchase an annual quota of marine phytoplankton from MLS on an increasing schedule from 538 kilograms to 1,400 kilograms per year over the five-year term of the agreement. The price per kilogram of the product varies according to the total kilograms purchased. If ForeverGreen International fails to meet the annual quota it will lose the right of exclusivity or can pay the additional amount to satisfy the minimum annual quota amount. Under the terms of the exclusive marketing agreement, MLS has the right to review and approve ForeverGreen International’s plans to expand sales and marketing in any new foreign markets. MLS agreed to share research results and other data related to the product with ForeverGreen International and both parties agreed to protect any proprietary information related to the product for a period of five years. Both parties agreed to indemnify the other for any claims arising out of any action taken or omission by the other.
On March 28, 2008, MLS has signed a letter of intent to complete a formalized agreement within the next ninety (90) days for the purchase of proprietary technology from ForeverGreen International. The parties anticipate that the royalty will be thirty-five percent (35%) of the ingredient cost for the technology. We project that MLS could pay royalties of approximately $10,000 to $100,000 in the coming year depending upon completion of the formal agreement and the amount of sales.

SFAS No. 155
32
FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 14 - NEW TECHNICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS
(Continued)
amends SFAS No. 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements because we have no applicable financial instruments.
SFAS NO. 156, "ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS"
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS NO. 156, "ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS", which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS NO. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS"
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
33
FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 14 - NEW TECHNICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS
(Continued)
This Statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this standard.
SFAS NO. 158, "EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS"
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132-R." SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to recognize in its statement of financial condition the funded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets, and the benefit obligation. SFAS No. 158 also requires an entity to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan within accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost. SFAS No. 158 is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows because the Company has no defined benefits plans.
SFAS NO. 159, “THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES “
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or FAS 159. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or before November 15, 2007, provided the provisions of FAS 157 are applied. We will adopt FAS 159 on January 1, 2008. We are evaluating FAS 159 and have not yet determined the impact the adoption, if any, will have on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS NO. 141(R), “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS”
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS No. 141(R) also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS NO. 160, “NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS”
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and, as such, the Company will adopt this standard in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 15 – GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America generally applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 15 – GOING CONCERN
(Continued)
December 31, 2007 our current liabilities exceeded our current assets. We have incurred substantial losses in prior years and used substantial cash in operations in prior years. At December 31, 2007 our cash balance was $20,382. Although the Company had income for the first time in the current year, we do not feel that it was substantial enough to alleviate the uncertainty related to a going concern, considering our negative working capital of approximately $800,000 in 2007 as compared to approximately $2,900,000 in 2006.
The Company relies solely on their operations to meet their obligations. During the year we issued shares of our common stock to alleviate approximately $4,000,000 in notes payable obligations, which resulted in the Company becoming relatively debt free. The Company continues to implement cost cutting measures to improve earnings potential, as well as, focusing on increasing revenues from the sales of their products.
