ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

ForeverGreen Worldwide is a holding company that operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, ForeverGreen International, LLC.  Our product philosophy is to develop, manufacture and market the best of science and nature through innovative formulations as we produce and manufacture a wide array of whole foods, nutritional supplements, personal care products and essential oils.

We believe that consuming healthy and natural wh ole foods and beverages is the basis of health and longevity.  We provide health answers, not only through exclusive nutritional whole food beverages, but also by providing a broad product line of delicious whole foods that can be eaten for every meal, instead of the processed, fatty and preservative-laden synthetic meals prevalent in society today.  Many competing companies provide capsules, powders, pills or tablets as nutritional supplements, but we believe these generally fail to provide an every-meal alternative to the processed and nutrient depleted foods found in the three main daily meals of most common consumers.  We provide the every-meal answer with a variety of appetizing healthy food products that allow our Members and customers to eat healthy for every meal and snack throughout the day.  In addition, we provide healthy personal care products as an alternative to the chemical-laden and synthetic products in the marketplace that may potentially negatively impact our health.

We remain committed to developing and providing high quality products that are innovative, healthy, efficacious, easy to use and easy to sell.  Our unique products, along with a distinct and fresh corporate philosophy and message of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health through service to community and others, attract consumers as well as Members who wish to own a home-based business selling our products and spreading our health message.

ForeverGreen has four brand lines:

·

The LegaSea brand includes FrequenSea, SecreSea, ZMP 400, SecreSea, Azul, and now, A.I.M. Transfer Factor. All of these products contain marine phy toplankton as their key ingredient.

·

The TRUessence Apothecary and Essential Oil brand includes all of our essential oils, personal care and household products.

·

The Smart Food (formerly Brain Garden) brand includes Pulse-8, a heart healthy product that features L-arginine, now with marine phytoplankton, ElectriFire, a natural energy drink, Thunder, a chocolate meal replacement shake, SmartSaltz, and many other healthy chocolate or whole-food based products.

·

The O3World brand line includes our line of healthy weight management products.

8

These four brands are now presented to our Members and consumers in a simple business model that supports a simplistic, easily duplicated presentation and value proposal.  The model is called the “ABCs of Your Business.”  

“A” stands for our new A.I.M. Transfer Factor product that is high in Antioxidant, Immune and Metabolic support. “B” stands for BURN, our weight management system, and “C” is for Cardio, and features our heart-healthy Pulse-8 product.  In simple terms, when a Member buys one of the A, B or C featured products in conjunction with Azul or FrequenSea, the Member gets a price value discount and immediately qualifies to earn bonuses in the compensation plan.

We believe the ForeverGreen Money Tree Compensation Plan reaches out to every segment of our society.  An individual may join as a Member for the exclusive products offered by our company or for the wholesale prices that are available to Members purchasing product.  An individual may join ForeverGreen and begin earning commissions rapidly with minimal investment.  A Member receives a discount on their personal purchases or the p urchases of their customers if they follow the value based purchase of FrequenSea or Azul with a product categorized as A, B or C, or other value package product combinations.  This provides incentive to discuss successful products and programs with others. As a Member assists other individuals join the Member’s organization, the new Members generate commission payments to the upline Member through their product purchases.  The commissions earned are paid out weekly to our Members; unless they fall into the global not-for-resale program, which are paid out monthly.

A Member can earn retail profits for the difference between sales price and the wholesale price of the product.  The Member can earn a 20% Fast Start Bonus on a new enrollee’s first purchase, as well as a 10% Growth Bonus on the Member’s small leg organizations purchases.  Members at the rank of Determined and below can earn from the 2% FastSt art Enroller Bonus pool.  At higher ranks, there are other leadership pools that offer shares of a certain percent of worldwide sales during a given period.  This plan also pays a dynamic enroller matching bonus on the checks of the enroller’s tree structure based on generations.  The check from the 10% Growth Bonus for upline enrollers in the tree structure, within qualified generations of pay based on rank achieved, are matched and factored after all payouts have been calculated.

On March 16, 2010 we introduced a companion commission structure that over-lays and works seamlessly with our Money Tree Commission Plan; it is called the Cash Flow Miracle program.  This program allows for a new or existing Member to participate in the Money Tree Compensation Plan, while at the same time earning accelerated bonuses on the front end by choosing the Cash Flow Miracle program and getting others to do the same.  This program features an accelerated kick-start program of FrequenSea™.  By choosing this optional program, new Members will receive a free ForeverGreen Membership. Once the Member makes an initial purchase of product, he or she will be able to receive bonuses for every two Members they enroll that also purchase product and participate in and maintain a monthly Autoship.  The Cash Flow Miracle program allows for a Member to work their ForeverGreen business as normal, with an additional earning and health incentive that will continue paying as long as the Member promotes this program.

ForeverGreen’s goal continues to be the improvement of people’s lives through “Health, Kindness and Opportunity.”  In addition, our focus is to assist prospective Members in creating a home based business with home business training, mentoring and accountabil ity to promote residual income stream opportunities.  We provide whole food drinks, organic chocolates, weight management products, convenient whole foods for meals and snacks, personal care products and essential oils to our domestic Members and customers with some of the above mentioned products also offered to select international markets as opportunities are created.  We will seek relations with key vendors to continue developing cutting-edge products that are exclusive to our Members at a competitive price.

During the first quarter of 2010 ForeverGreen continued to be active in building sales throughout the world and also working to reduce costs.   The Company had to face the challenge associated with the economic downturn that is affecting the lives of so many.   Total revenues declined during the first quarter of 2010, but the Company has taken

9

steps for necessary cost reductions to bring our business back toward profitability.  The cost reductions include staff reductions, salary reductions, cutting back on unnecessary spending, negotiating with our vendors for more feasible repayment plans and continually looking for new and better, yet more cost effective, ways of doing business.  Our management believes the efforts already made are beginning to establish the foundation for success for the months and years to come.

Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to increase and sustain our field leadership and momentum along with systems capabilities and logistics centers around the world to keep up with the demand f or our products and the business opportunity.  Included in this challenge is the need to support our customers and Member satisfaction at a high level. Overcoming current business challenges will require a motivated and trained field leadership team and additional skilled corporate personnel, and manufacturing and shipping facilities.  Management believes that the new Hybrid compensation plan using two-leg binary properties supported with the Cash Flow Miracle program coupled with great product will be the catalyst to create enthusiasm and growth.  Management will continue to surround themselves with key experienced personnel and vendors while finding and motivating distributor leaders, as well as 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 we anticipate expanding our domestic and int ernational logistics centers as necessary.  The rewards may include increased sales and diversified market incomes.  International expansion is very expensive and key Members and vendors are required to experience rapid growth to become profitable in a foreign country.   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first quarter of 2010, we were challenged by the continuing downturn in the global economy.  At March 31, 2010, cash decreased slightly to $153,339, but we recorded a net loss of $43,536 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.  We also had negative working capital of $2,858,645 at March 31, 2010.  Our net loss was minimized through effective management of our resources and cost reductions through financial and operational efficiencies.  However, the losses and negative working capital raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  In this regard, management intends to continue to increase revenues and reduce expenses, improving profitability and the liquidity of ForeverGreen.

During the first quarter of 2010 we relied on our revenues to fund operations along with a line of credit of $100,000 which is secured with the guarantee of two stockholders.  We also borrowed an additional $230,000 from a director and a new third party lender throughout the quarter to increase our working capital needed for operations.  We are currently looking forward to and investing in ForeverGreen’s Cash Flow Miracle program and the growth in our foreign markets.  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 a nticipates 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 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 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

ForeverGreen has two building leases for office, production warehouse space in Orem, Utah.  We are currently on a month to month lea se for our office space at a monthly rent of $8,441.  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

10

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 and warehouse and production needs.  ForeverGreen also leases office space in Singapore on a short-term lease for approximately $4,000 per month ending April 2010. This lease will not be renewed, but we will support Singapore via a third party logistics location.

Our total current liabilities decreased by $143,360 to $4,026,175 at March 31, 2010 compared to $4,169,535 at December 31, 2009.  This amount reflects the continued use of a line of credit and bank overdraft, along with accounts payable and notes payable, including the $230,000 increase in short-term notes payable due to additional loans.  We continue to negotiate with our vendors to find ways to meet our obligations while continuing to provide outstanding service to our distributors.

At March 31, 2010 our total assets decreased primarily because we have reduced our inventory levels to more appropriate levels.  The Company is trying to use a “just-in-time” approach for inventory to improve our inve ntory management and cash utilization and turn inventory into cash.

Our total liabilities decreased at March 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.  The decrease in the total liabilities was the result of a decreased bank overdraft, decreased accounts payable, and paying down our line of credit.

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; however, in the first quarter of 2010 our returns increased to just under 1.3% of sales.  Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 decreased in comparison to the three month period ended March 31, 2009  Management anticipates that sales will increase over the long term as we increase our market size with the introduction of ou r business into foreign markets, specifically markets in South America.  

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 were approximately 65% of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 74% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The majority of this difference is due to improved costs on shipping and handling, product costs and a normalized commission plan.

Total operating expenses decreased significantly for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in operating expenses is attributable primarily to reductions in general and administrative expense and in salaries and wages related to reductions in personnel and wage adjustments.

Total other expense increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as a result of increased interest expense on loans.

Despite our reduction of operating expenses, we recorded a net loss and net loss per share for the 2010 and 2009 first quarters.

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 an nual 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 4T.  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 effective.

Management’s Report on 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 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 first quarter of our 2010 fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS  

UTI United States, Inc. (“UTI”) filed a complaint against ForeverGreen International, L.L.C. on August 27, 2009 in the Third District Court, State of Utah Salt Lake County, West Jordan Department.  UTI alleges that it has not been paid $51,983 for shipping and freight services provided to ForeverGreen International and is seeking that amount, plus interest and costs of the action.   ForeverGreen International has answered the complaint and is challenging the amount due.

We are involved in various other disputes and legal claims arising in the normal course of our business.  In the opinion of management any resulting litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

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:

13

·

The recovery 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 resul t 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.  

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.  In our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010 we will be required to provide an attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  We cannot assure you as to our independent auditors’ conclusions at December 31, 2010 with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  There is a risk that our independent auditors will not be able to conclude at that time that our interna l controls over financial reporting are effective as required by Section 404 of the Act.
