SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' |
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
a. Organization | |
The Company was incorporated on March 18, 1999 in the state of Nevada. On November 30, 1999, 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 maintained its headquarters in Provo, Utah. | |
On November 30, 1999, 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 member 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, 2000 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 6,000,000 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, LLC. as a wholly owned subsidiary. | |
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. | |
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 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. In 2009 the Company introduced a program to make its products available to more international countries. This program is called "the NFR program" NFR means not for resale and supports customers in many countries to enjoy limited ForeverGreen products for personal use in these countries include Argentina, Austria, Barbados, Bolivia, Chile, China, Curacao Island, Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Greece, | |
Guam, Hungry, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Ivory Coast, Italy, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Trinidad. | |
b. Recognition of Revenue | |
Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are provided. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. | |
The Company's sources of revenue are from the sale of various food and other natural product sales and royalties earned. 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 except for a few circumstances. The Company extends this return policy to its members for a 30 day period and the consumer has the same return policy in effect against the member. Returns are less than 2.5% of sales for both years presented. Revenues are reported net of returns. All conditions of ASC 605-10 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated allowance for returns where material. | |
c. Accounts Receivable | |
Accounts receivable arise from doing business with third party distributor centers in various locations throughout South America and Korea. The accounts receivable are made up of fees and royalties owed by the distribution centers to the Company for the right to do business in our name. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts when it is determined that collection amounts owed is unlikely. In 2013 the Company recorded a $29,234 allowance for receivables in some of our foreign markets. No allowance had been recorded at December 31, 2012, accordingly. | |
Members are required to pay for products prior to shipment. Members typically pay for products by credit cards, wire transfer, e-wallet accounts, other payment cards, and cash. Accordingly, the Company seldom carries accounts receivable from members that are not distribution centers and any balances carried would be minimal. | |
d. Principles of Consolidation | |
The consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 include the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and it's wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. | |
e. 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. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include convertible debentures, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be anti-dilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 0 and 15,411 such potentially dilutive shares excluded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 1,099,975 and 0 were included as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
f. Income Taxes | |
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company's predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes. | |
g. Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
h. 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. | |
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, 2013 and 2012 is $62,325 and $66,005, respectively. | |
i. Long-Lived Assets | |
In accordance with ASC 360-10, 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. The Company determined no impairment adjustment was needed based on the analysis for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
j. 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, 2013 and 2012 there was an allowance for obsolete inventory in the amount of $5,660 and $45,660, respectively. | |
k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of convertible notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
l. 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. | |
m. 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 $250,000 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. | |
n. Equity Instruments | |
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the ASC 505-50. 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. | |
o. Intangible Assets | |
Intangible assets consist of patent costs, trademark costs and the customer base. 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 of the technology and future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets are less than the net carrying amount of intangible assets. No impairment was recognized accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
p. Deferred Revenue | |
The Company recognizes revenues upon the shipment of product. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $405,841 of sales which were not shipped as of the period end and as such recorded deferred revenue of $405,841 compared to $113,085 for December 31, 2012. | |
q. Foreign Currency Translation | |
The Company's functional currency is recorded in various currencies, corresponding to the various foreign subsidiaries and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, "Foreign Currency Matters - Foreign Currency Transactions". All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive loss. | |
r. Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In September 2011, the FASB clarified ASC 350-20 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in ASC 350-20 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. | |
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |

NOTE 7 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS | ||||
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. On January 15, 2006 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. On December 31, 2007 the Company 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 is amortizing 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 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 ASC 360-10-35, intangible assets tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount of the intangible asset. See Note 1 (o) above for gross book value, accumulated amortization and net book value of the customer base intangible asset. No impairment was recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||||
The Company capitalizes legal fees incurred to register trademarks for its products. Trademarks consist of the following for the period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012: | ||||

NOTE 9 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES | ||||
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company's predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes. | ||||
ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons: | ||||
For the Years Ended | ||||

Valuation allowance | (10,527,844) | -10,542,004 | ||
Net deferred taxes | $ -- | $ -- | ||
The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2013. Factors considered in this assessment include recent and expected future earnings and the Company's liquidity and equity positions. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against the entire amount of its net deferred income tax asset. | ||||
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $27,489,636. These carry forwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and begin to expire in 2019. The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carry forwards can be utilized and may be significantly limited based on ownership changes as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||
Under FASB ASC 740-10-05-6, tax benefits are recognized only for the tax positions that are more likely than not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the company's tax return that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. | ||||
The Company had no liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has recorded no additional interest or penalties. | ||||
The Company's policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits with the income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, the Company did not recognized any interest or penalties in its Statement of Operations, nor did it have any accrued interest or penalties relating to unrecognized benefits. | ||||
The tax years 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. |

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,366,781and accumulated deficit of $35,364,463 at December 31, 2013, negative cash flows from operations, and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties. These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to address and alleviate these concerns are as follows: | |
The Company continues to monitor its cost structure and implements cost saving measures deemed to be effective. The Company has experienced a growth in its monthly revenues, which combined with some new equity financing is allowing the Company to continue to invest in its expansion plan. This plan has involved hosting a number of industry leaders who are performing their due diligence on our Company. Additionally, we expect we will take advantage of some international expansion opportunities. These expansion opportunities will continue to be evaluated and those which provide the best opportunity for success will be pursued on a priority basis. New products have been and will continue to be introduced to bolster Member recruiting and sales. Management will make improvements to the marketing plan to enhance the success that is developed. The Company intends to seek debt and equity financing as necessary. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ' |
Recognition of Revenue | ' |
b. Recognition of Revenue | |
Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are provided. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. | |
The Company's sources of revenue are from the sale of various food and other natural product sales and royalties earned. 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 except for a few circumstances. The Company extends this return policy to its members for a 30 day period and the consumer has the same return policy in effect against the member. Returns are less than 2.5% of sales for both years presented. Revenues are reported net of returns. All conditions of ASC 605-10 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated allowance for returns where material. | |
Accounts Receivable | ' |
c. Accounts Receivable | |
Accounts receivable arise from doing business with third party distributor centers in various locations throughout South America and Korea. The accounts receivable are made up of fees and royalties owed by the distribution centers to the Company for the right to do business in our name. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts when it is determined that collection amounts owed is unlikely. In 2013 the Company recorded a $29,234 allowance for receivables in some of our foreign markets. No allowance had been recorded at December 31, 2012, accordingly. | |
Members are required to pay for products prior to shipment. Members typically pay for products by credit cards, wire transfer, e-wallet accounts, other payment cards, and cash. Accordingly, the Company seldom carries accounts receivable from members that are not distribution centers and any balances carried would be minimal. | |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
d. Principles of Consolidation | |
The consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 include the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and it's wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | ' |
e. 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. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include convertible debentures, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be anti-dilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 0 and 15,411 such potentially dilutive shares excluded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and 1,099,975 and 0 were included as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
f. Income Taxes | |
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company's predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
g. Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |
Property and Equipment | ' |
h. 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. | |
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, 2013 and 2012 is $62,325 and $66,005, respectively. | |
Long-Lived Assets | ' |
i. Long-Lived Assets | |
In accordance with ASC 360-10, 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. The Company determined no impairment adjustment was needed based on the analysis for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
Inventory | ' |
j. 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, 2013 and 2012 there was an allowance for obsolete inventory in the amount of $5,660 and $45,660, respectively. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of convertible notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
l. 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. | |
Concentrations | ' |
m. 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 $250,000 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. | |
Equity Instruments | ' |
n. Equity Instruments | |
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the ASC 505-50. 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. | |
Intangible Assets | ' |
o. Intangible Assets | |
Intangible assets consist of patent costs, trademark costs and the customer base. 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 of the technology and future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets are less than the net carrying amount of intangible assets. No impairment was recognized accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
Deferred Revenue | ' |
p. Deferred Revenue | |
The Company recognizes revenues upon the shipment of product. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $405,841 of sales which were not shipped as of the period end and as such recorded deferred revenue of $405,841 compared to $113,085 for December 31, 2012. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | ' |
q. Foreign Currency Translation | |
The Company's functional currency is recorded in various currencies, corresponding to the various foreign subsidiaries and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, "Foreign Currency Matters - Foreign Currency Transactions". All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive loss. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
r. Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In September 2011, the FASB clarified ASC 350-20 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in ASC 350-20 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. | |
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |
