(“Landis II”) in Salt Lake City, Utah. Green also owns and operates Landis Experience Center LLC (“LEC”), an Aveda retail store in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Organization
Green Endeavors, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 25, 2002 as Jasper Holdings.com, Inc. During the year ended December 2004, Green changed its name to Net2Auction, Inc. In July of 2007, Green changed its name to Green Endeavors, Ltd. On August 23, 2010, Green changed its name to Green Endeavors, Inc. and moved the corporate domicile from Delaware to Utah. Green has four classes of stock as follows: common with 10,000,000,000 shares authorized; preferred with 3,000,000 shares authorized; convertible preferred with 2,000,000 shares authorized; and, convertible supervoting preferred with 10,000,000 shares authorized. Green is quoted on the Pink Sheets as an OTCQB issuer under the symbol GRNE.
Green is a more than 50% controlled subsidiary of Nexia Holdings, Inc (“Nexia”). Nexia is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol NXHD and is not currently a reporting company.
Landis Salons, Inc., a Utah corporation, was organized on May 4, 2005 for the purpose of operating an Aveda Lifestyle Salon. As of December 31, 2009, Landis was 99% owned by Green and a noncontrolling interest of 1% was held by a former employee. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, Green issued 10,000 Series B Preferred shares for the remaining 1% noncontrolling interest in Landis.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. All consolidated subsidiaries are either wholly-owned or majority-owned by Green.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Green consolidates entities under control and records a noncontrolling interest for the portions not owned by Green. Control is determined, where applicable, by the sufficiency of equity invested and the rights of the equity holders, and by the ownership of a majority of the voting interests, with consideration given to the existence of approval or veto rights granted to the minority shareholder. If the minority shareholder holds substantive participating rights, it overcomes the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. In contrast, if the minority shareholder simply holds protective rights (such as consent rights over certain actions), it does not overcome the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of all financial instruments are deemed to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments and interest rates that approximate current market rates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Green had no cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory consists of items held for resale and is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at historical cost. Depreciation is generally provided over the estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, as follows:
Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life |
Computer equipment and related software | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3-10 years |
Equipment | 3-10 years |
Vehicle | 7 years |
Signage | 10 years |
During the three months ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, Green recorded depreciation expense in the amount of $23,605 and $25,158, respectively.

Series B Preferred Stock
The Series B preferred stock voting (one vote per share), convertible preferred. Each share of Green’s Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into $5.00 worth of common stock. The number of common shares received is based on the average market price for the five days before conversion notice date by the shareholder. Series B Preferred Stock shareholders, at the option of Green, can receive cash or common stock upon conversion. The Preferred Stock is classified as equity as long as there are sufficient shares available to effect the conversion. In some instances certain contracts may pass the option to receive cash or Common Stock to the shareholder.
In this case, it is assumed that a cash settlement will occur and balance sheet classification of the affected Preferred Stock and related preferred paid-in capital as a liability.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue arises when customers pay for products and/or services in advance of revenue recognition. Green’s deferred revenue consists solely of unearned revenue associated with the purchase of gift certificates for which revenue is recognized only when the service is performed or the product is delivered.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time the service is performed or the product is delivered.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
Green recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments as stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the value of the restricted stock award, option, or purchase right and is recognized as expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which typically equals the vesting period. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each restricted stock issuance is determined using the fair value of Green’s common stock on the grant date.
Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the following:
· | Expected volatility of Green’s stock; |
· | Expected term of stock options; |
· | Risk-free interest rate for the period; |
· | Expected dividends (if any); and, |
· | Expected forfeitures. |
The computation of the expected volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for new grants is based on implied volatility when the remaining maturities of the underlying traded options are at least one year and, when the remaining maturities of the underlying traded options are less than one year, it is based on an equal weighting of historical and implied volatilities.
When establishing the expected life assumption, Green reviews annual historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants having similar vesting periods. The risk-free interest rate for the period within the expected term of the option is based on the yield of United States Treasury notes in effect at the time of grant. Green has not historically paid dividends, thus the expected dividends used in any calculations are zero. Judgment is required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that Green expects to be forfeited. Green calculates an expected forfeiture rate for stock options issuances based on historical trends.
The valuation of all options, including the expected life and forfeiture rates of stock options, are calculated based on one employee pool because there is no significant difference in exercise behavior between classes of employees.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, Green issued 90,000,000 shares of common stock to four individuals for services with a fair value of $38,174, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See footnote 9 to the financial statements for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, Green issued 60,000,000 shares of common stock to three individuals for services with a fair value of $25,364, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See footnote 9 to the financial statements for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, potential common shares are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 10,960,255,108 such potentially dilutive shares excluded as of March 31,
2012.
Reclassification of Financial Statement Accounts
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the March 31, 2012 financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management believes the impact of recently issued standards and updates, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Green’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
Note 3 – Inventory
Green’s inventory consists of items held for resale and product that is used in services by the Landis and Landis II salons. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. As of March 31, 2012, inventory amounted to $107,316 and $109,470 as of December 31, 2011.
Note 4 – Other Assets
The following table shows other assets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

(1) On July 9, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted Series B Preferred shares to Landis Salons II, Inc., a subsidiary of Green, to be used as collateral for a lease entered into by Landis Salons II to serve as the location for a new Landis Lifestyle Salon. These shares were then assigned to the landlord of Landis II as a security deposit with a related value of $250,000. On September 28, 2012, the landlord returned the shares back to Landis II and terminated the requirements of the Stock Pledge Agreement. The shares have been cancelled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding.

Note 4 – Other Assets (Continued)
(2) On July 12, 2010, Landis Salons II, Inc. issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $105,000 payable to Wasatch Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of Nexia. Principal and interest, accruing at the rate of 5% per year, will be due on or before November 10, 2018. The note was issued to Wasatch in consideration of Wasatch assigning its interest in a trust deed note in the amount of $105,000 and has been recorded as a note receivable. Landis II then pledged as collateral the trust deed note as a material inducement for Landis II to be able to enter into a lease agreement for the opening of a salon in Salt Lake City. On September 28, 2012, the landlord terminated and canceled the Note Pledge Agreement and released its interest in the trust deed note back to Landis II. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was $9,036 and $7,724 of accrued interest on the promissory note, respectively.
Note 5 – Derivative Liability
As discussed in Note 7 – “Notes Payable”, during 2011, Green issued an aggregate of $197,500 Convertible Promissory Notes to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher Notes”) that mature from January 9, 2012 to November 6, 2012. The Asher Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and can be convertible into Green’s common shares, at the holder’s option, at the conversion rates of 56% to 61% discount to the market price of the lowest three trading prices of Green’s common shares during the ten-day period ending one trading day prior to the date of the conversion. Green analyzed the conversion feature of the agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than conversion price of these notes. If these provisions are triggered, the conversion price of the note will be reduced. The Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with AC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.
The embedded derivative is carried on Green’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked-to-market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the income statement and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change. Green fair values the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The aggregate fair value of the derivative at the inception dates of the Asher Notes was $269,507. Of the total $197,500 was recorded as a debt discount, which is up to but not more than the net proceeds of the notes. $72,007 was charged to operations as non-cash interest expense. The fair value of $269,507 was recorded as a derivative liability on the balance sheet.
The debt discount is amortized over the life of the notes (approximately nine months each). On March 31, 2012, Green marked-to-market the fair value of the derivatives and determined an aggregate fair value of $208,147 and recorded a $27,747 loss from change in fair value of derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The fair value of the embedded derivatives for the notes was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 381%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.05%, (4) expected life of 0.45 to 0.7 of a year, and (5) estimated fair value of Green’s common stock of $0.00012 to $.00028 per share.

principal face amount and accrued interest into shares of Common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a conversion price equal to 95% of the average closing bid price of the Common stock three days prior to the date notice is received by Green. Green determined that there is a beneficial conversion feature for the debt and recorded a debt discount of $150,000 on April 30, 2008, which is being amortized for 10 years to the maturity date of the debenture. In December 2009, Nexia converted 125,000 of the debenture into common stock of Green and during 2010 Green paid $15,200 of principal on the debenture.

The transactions have been handled as a private sale exempt from registration under Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933. The notes mature in approximately 270 days from issuance and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum.

As of March 31, 2012, the notes are considered in default. Accordingly, a loss contingency of $79,304 has been recorded, which is calculated by multiplying the March 31, 2012 principal balance on the notes of $148,000 plus $10,608 in accrued interest ($158,608 combined) by 50% per the terms of the notes thus bringing the amount owed to Asher as of March 31, 2012 $237,912.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
Under the Plan and during the year ended December 31, 2011, the company granted 60,000,000 stock options to three employees (20,000,000 options each) for services of which all were exercised by the year ended December 31, 2011.

The weighted average components used for the calculation of the fair value for the options granted were: $.0003 – exercise price, one year term, 422% volatility, and a .12% risk free rate. The income tax benefit related to the 2011 stock-based compensation expense was $0. Also, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011, was $0. As of December 31, 2011, grants unexercised and shares available for future stock-based compensation grants were -0- and 240,000,000 shares, respectively.
Under the Plan and during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the company granted 90,000,000 stock options to four employees for services of which all were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 10 – Going Concern
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of Green as a going concern. Green had a $309,168 net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and negative working capital of $1,560,346, which raises substantial doubt about the Green’s ability to continue as a going concern. Green’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to successfully fulfill its business plan. Management plans to attempt to raise additional funds to finance the operating and capital requirements of Green through a combination of equity and debt financings. While Green is making its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be sufficient for operations.
Note 11 – Subsequent Events

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report, and in conjunction with our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Certain of these statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the extent and timing of future revenues and expenses, customer demand and other statements using words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecast,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “will” and “would,” and words of similar import and the negatives thereof, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are predictions based upon management’s best judgment at the time they are made about future events that are not historical facts. Actual results could vary materially as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, those expressed in these statements. We refer you to the “Risk Factors,” “Results of Operations,” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections contained in this Quarterly Report, which identify important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
We urge you to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to our company or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.
Overview
Green Endeavors, Inc. (“Green”) is a Utah corporation originally formed on April 25, 2002. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We have never filed bankruptcy nor been through any similar financial reorganization.
As of March 31, 2012, we run two high-quality hair care salons that feature Aveda™ products for retail sale. Landis Salons, Inc. (“Landis I”) operates its business within a 4,000 square foot space located in the Liberty Heights District of Salt Lake City, Utah as an Aveda Lifestyle Salon. Landis Salons II, Inc. (“Landis II”) operates within a 3,024 square foot space located in the Marmalade District of Salt Lake City, Utah under the Landis Lifestyle Salon brand as an Aveda Lifestyle Salon. A third location opened August 16, 2012, and operates as an Aveda Experience Center in the newly developed City Creek Mall in Salt lake City, Utah.
Aveda Lifestyle Salons can be distinguished from Aveda Concept Salons in that Aveda Lifestyle Salons are required to carry all of Aveda’s products and must meet a higher threshold for product sales than Aveda Concept Salons. An Aveda Lifestyle Salon is the highest level within the Aveda hierarchy of salons which is classified by higher purchasing volume, location, array of products carried and size of retail space.
Salon operations consist of three major components, an Aveda™ retail store, an advanced hair salon, and a training academy, which educates and prepares future staff about the culture, services, and products provided by the salon. The design of the salons is intended to look modern and feel comfortable, appealing to both genders, and all age groups.
Additional information on Landis can be found on its website at www.landissalon.com.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our revenue, operating income and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates and make changes accordingly. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results.

Results of Operations
Through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Landis Salons, Inc. and Landis Salons II, Inc., we operate two full-service hair and retail salons featuring the Aveda™ line of products. The following discussion examines our results of operations and financial condition based on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Revenue
We generate revenue through the sale of services and products in the hair salon industry. Revenues were $734,024 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $662,083 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $71,941 or 10.9%.
The percentage increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, were driven by the following factors:
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
March 31 2012 | March 31, 2011 | |||||||
Same-store | 10.9 | % | 3.1 | % | ||||
New salon | 0 | % | 34.7 | % | ||||
Closed salon | 0 | % | (7.5 | )% | ||||
Total | 10.9 | % | 30.3 | % |
All of the 10.9% increase is from the same-store increase in sales category is primarily driven by sales growth of both salons, Landis Salons and Landis Salons II, of approximately 7.5% and 17.3%, respectively. While sales volume is smaller for Landis Salons II as compared to Landis Salons, it is a newer salon and is experiencing higher growth and thus showing the larger comparative percentage.
Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
The following table shows the increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011 between services and product.

Total revenue | $ | 734,024 | $ | 662,083 | $ | 71,941 |
The overall sales increase from both salons, Landis Salons and Landis Salons II, was approximately $42,110 and 29,831, respectively. While sales volume is smaller for Landis Salons II as compared to Landis Salons, it is a newer salon and is experiencing higher growth than Landis Salons.
Costs of Revenue
Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Costs of product and service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased to $422,143 as compared to $348,219 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of 21.2%. This increase over the comparable quarterly periods is primarily attributable to an increased number of salon service providers and product sales.
18
Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased to $316,234 as compared to $279,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Cost of product for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased to $105,909 as compared to $68,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The cost of product as a percentage of product revenues changed from 41.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 58.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The main reason for this change is that is that a substantial portion of the Company’s product line is purchased from Aveda and Aveda had significant price increases in January 2012. The Company has not proportionately increased its overall prices to customers thus causing most of the significant change for the comparative quarters.
The following table shows cost of revenue as a percentage of related revenue:
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
March 31 2012 | March 31, 2011 | |||||||
Services | 57.3 | % | 56.4 | % | ||||

Total General and administrative expenses | $ | 368,094 | $ | 255,518 | $ | 112,576 |
The increase in General and administrative expenses over the comparable quarterly periods is primarily due to increases in salaries and wages and investor relations and corporate promotion. Salaries and wages increased due to additional administrative personnel and staff during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. The Company also had increased cost for a market awareness campaign during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, decreased to $23,605 from $25,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in fully depreciated property, plant, and equipment for three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
19
Other Expenses, net
Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Other expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased to $229,350 from $64,535 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $164,815. This increase over the comparable quarterly periods is primarily due to an increase in interest expense associated with additional convertible notes payable and the amortization of debt discount, as well as a $79,304 loss due to the default on convertible notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 3, 2012 and December 31, 2011
We had a working capital deficit of $1,560,346 as of March 31, 2012. Our current assets were $264,985, which consisted of $150,968 in cash, $6,171 in accounts receivable, $107,316 in inventory, and $530 in prepaid expenses. Our total assets were $1,070,981, which included $397,771 in property and equipment (net), and $408,225 in other assets. Our current liabilities were $1,825,331, including $429,258 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $828,270 in accounts payable and accrued expenses - related parties, $210,435 in the current portion of notes payable, $50,338 in deferred revenue, and a $208,147 derivative liability. Our long-term liabilities were $2,978,378. Our total stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2012 was $3,732,728.
We had a working capital deficit of $1,399,631 as of December 31, 2011. Our current assets were $213,840, which consisted of $97,983 in cash, $109,470 in inventory, $6,244 in prepaid expenses and $143 in accounts receivable. Our total assets were $1,036,562, which included $420,089 in property and equipment (net), and $402,631 in other assets. Our current liabilities were $1,613,471, including $293,906 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $845,997 in accounts payable and accrued expenses - related parties, $200,629 in the current portion of notes payable, $57,823 in deferred revenue, and a $116,409 derivative liability. Our long-term liabilities were $2,941,760. Our total stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2011, was $3,518,669.
.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities include net loss, adjusted for certain non-cash charges, as well as changes in the balances of certain assets and liabilities.
Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Cash flows from operating activities include net loss, adjusted for certain non-cash charges, as well as changes in the balances of certain assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $(46,834) as compared to $82,996 provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This $129,830 change in cash used in operating activities over the comparable periods is primarily due to the $277,821 increase in net loss for the same comparable period, which is partially offset by $205,649 of several significant non-cash items that were present in the current year that were not present in the prior year. A significant contributor to the change was that there was $50,157 less in cash provided by the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses as compared to the prior period.
We expect that our cash provided by operating activities will decrease over the next twelve months as we purchase inventory and increase operating expenses as a result of opening one additional salon during the next 12 months.
20
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Three months ended March 3, 2012 and 2011
Cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1,286 as compared to $3,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities is due to a decrease in purchases of property and equipment and long-term investments.
We expect to continue our investing activities, including purchasing both property and equipment and making both short and long-term equity investments.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2011
Cash flow provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $101,105 as compared to ($82,286) that was used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities was primarily due to the payment of a related party note payable in the three months ended March 31, 2011 that substantially offset the proceeds from financing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
We expect to continue to use cash flow from financing activities in the near term as necessary to expand operations.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have insufficient current assets to meet our current liabilities due to negative working capital of $1,560,346 as of March 31, 2012. Historically, we have funded our cash needs from a combination of revenues, carried payables, sales of equity, and debt transactions. Since we are not currently realizing net cash flows from our business, we may need to seek financing to continue our operations. Prospective sources of funding could include shareholder loans, equity sales or loans from other sources though no assurance can be given that such sources would be available or that any commitment of support is forthcoming to date.
On October 27, 2008, we adopted The 2008 Benefit Plan of Green Endeavors, Inc. (the “Plan”) pursuant to which we may issue stock, or grant options to acquire our Voting Common Stock, par value $0.001 or our Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001(the “Stock”), to our employees or employees of our subsidiaries, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan (“Benefits”). The Plan is intended to aid us in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of contributing to our future success. In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, Benefits may be granted under this Plan to other individuals, including consultants or advisors, who contribute to our success or to the success of our subsidiaries, provided that bona fide services are rendered and such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. No Stock may be issued, or options granted under the Plan to consultants, advisors, or other persons who directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our securities. We have issued 191,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock pursuant to the Plan as of March 31, 2012.
On April 30, 2008, we entered into a stock transfer agreement with our parent company Nexia and Nexia’s wholly-owned subsidiary DHI whereby they would each sell their holdings in Landis and Newby in exchange for an 8% Series A Senior Subordinated Convertible Debenture with a face amount of $3,000,000. Interest on the debenture commenced on December 30, 2008. DHI has the option, at any time, to convert all or any amount over $10,000 of principal face amount and accrued interest into shares of Common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a conversion price equal to 95% of the average closing bid price of the common stock three days prior to the date we receive notice. In February of 2011, DHI transferred the Debenture to Nexia in exchange for the release of debt obligations owed to Nexia by DHI and Nexia is the current holder of the Debenture.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
21
We have no contractual commitment with any of our officers or directors.
We expect to purchase property or equipment as part of our normal ongoing operations.
Going Concern
Our audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2011 expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of reoccurring losses and negative working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address our ability to continue as a going concern include raising additional funds to finance the operating and capital requirements through a combination of equity and debt financings. While we are making our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
Impact of Inflation
We compensate some of our salon employees with percentage commissions based on sales they generate. Accordingly, this provides us certain protection against inflationary increases, as payroll expense is a variable cost of sales. In addition, we may increase pricing in our salons to offset any significant increases in wages and cost of services provided. Therefore, we do not believe inflation has had a significant impact on the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and the Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2012.
The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the effect on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures, to determine whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures, and to confirm that any necessary corrective action, including process improvements, was taken. This type of evaluation is done every fiscal quarter so that our conclusions concerning the effectiveness of these controls can be reported in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. The overall goals of these evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and to make modifications as necessary. We intend to maintain these disclosure controls and procedures, modifying them as circumstances warrant.
Based on his evaluation as of March 31, 2012, our CEO / CFO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
22
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of internal control are met. Further, the design of internal control must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the control must be considered relative to their costs. While our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Green Endeavors, Inc. have been detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
No material change in any legal matter, as reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business faces many risks. Described below are what we believe to be the material risks that we face. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.
We have limited capital. Because we do not have sufficient working capital for continued operations for at least the next 12 months our continued existence is dependent upon us sustaining operating profitability or obtaining the necessary capital to meet our expenditures. Our operating capital requirements, in excess of what is generated from operations, for the next 12 months are approximately $150,000. This primarily consists of the costs associated with our financial statement reporting obligations. At this time, we are still in the process of identifying additional salon locations within the Salt Lake valley. The funding for our operations will primarily come from private investors purchasing our Preferred stock, making loans secured by convertible promissory notes, as well as obtaining traditional lines of credit and loans to finance equipment, furniture, leasehold improvements and operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient sales or raise adequate capital to meet our future working capital needs.
The voting control held by Nexia Holdings Inc. creates an anti-takeover or change of control limitation. Nexia currently holds voting control of the Company through its ownership of Supervoting preferred stock.
The 10,000,000 shares of Supervoting Preferred Stock (100 votes for each share) currently held by Nexia combined with the 2,355,263,158 shares of common stock provide Nexia with voting control over any proposal requiring a vote of the shareholders. Through its ownership of the preferred voting shares and common stock it holds voting rights equal to 3,355,263,158 shares of common stock. This effectively gives Nexia a veto over any attempt to take over or change control of the Company. Such an event would include a vote by the Board of Directors to conduct a reverse or forward split of the common stock. The shares held by Nexia thus have a strong anti-takeover effect. The interests of Nexia may not always conform to the interests of the common stockholders, in general, and thus its voting rights may not always be exercised in the best interests of the common stockholders of the Company. Richard Surber, is CEO of both the Company and Nexia and has voting control of the Company through his control of Nexia.
23
Our business and our industry are affected by cyclical factors in the State of Utah, including the risk of a prolonged recession.
Our financial results are substantially dependent upon overall economic conditions in the State of Utah. General economic factors that are beyond our control, such as interest rates, recession, inflation, deflation, tax rates and policy, energy costs, unemployment trends, and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending, may impact our business. In particular, visitation patterns to our salons can be adversely impacted by increases in unemployment rates and decreases in discretionary income levels.
A prolonged or a deepening recession in the United States, specifically in Utah, could substantially decrease the demand for our products and services below current levels and adversely affect our business. Our industry has historically been vulnerable to significant declines in consumption and product and service pricing during prolonged periods of economic downturn such as at present.
Recessions and other periods of economic dislocation typically result in a lower level of discretionary income for consumers. To the extent discretionary income declines, consumers may be more likely to reduce discretionary spending. This could result in our salon customers foregoing salon treatments or using home treatments as a substitute.
We believe that the economic downturn slightly affected our financial results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, with a small increase in sales from each of the previous years. However, we continue to have sales in the first quarter of 2012 increase from the comparable months of 2011. If economic conditions result in negative sales in future periods and we are unable to offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be further affected.
If we cannot improve same-store sales our business and results of operations may be affected.
Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to improve sales, as well as both gross margins and operating margins. A variety of factors affect comparable sales, including fashion trends, competition, current economic conditions, changes in our product assortment, the success of marketing programs and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable store sales results to differ materially from prior periods and from our expectations. If we are unable to improve our comparable sales on a long-term basis or offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be affected.
Changes in our key relationships may adversely affect our operating results.
We maintain key relationships with certain companies, including Aveda™. Termination or modification of any of these relationships could significantly reduce our revenues and have a material and adverse impact on our business, our operating results and our ability to expand.
Changes in fashion trends may impact our revenue.
Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have an impact on our financial performance. For example, trends in wearing longer hair may reduce the number of visits to, and therefore, sales at our salons.
We are dependent on key personnel, specifically Richard Surber, our President and CEO.
We are dependent on the services of Richard Surber, our President, CEO, and a Director. Green does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Surber, and losing his services would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business.
24
The salon operations are dependent on key personnel.
The operations of the two salons are dependent on the day to day management of current staff at those locations who work in the salons and train their personnel. Losing the services of these long term employees would likely have an adverse effect on the operations and business development of the salons.
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain trained stylists in order to support our existing salon business and to staff future expansion.
The salons are actively recruiting qualified candidates to fill stylist positions. There is substantial competition for experienced personnel in this area, which we expect to continue. We will compete for experienced candidates with companies who have substantially greater financial resources than we do. If we fail to attract, motivate and retain qualified stylists, it could harm our business and limit our ability to be successful and hamper expansion plans. For example, we will depend upon the expertise and training abilities of our current staff and management at the salons. Since we do not maintain insurance policies on any of our employees, if we lose the services of any key officers or employees it could harm our business and results of operations.
Changes in regulatory and statutory laws may result in increased costs to our business.
Our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws. Due to the number of people we employ, laws that increase costs to provide employee benefits may result in additional costs to our business. Compliance with new, complex and changing laws may cause our expenses to increase. In addition, any non-compliance with these laws could result in fines, product recalls and enforcement actions or otherwise restrict our ability to market certain products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are not able to successfully compete in our business segments, our financial results may be affected.
Competition on a market by market basis remains strong. Therefore, our ability to raise prices in certain markets can be adversely impacted by this competition. If we are not able to raise prices, our ability to grow same-store sales and increase our revenue and earnings may be impaired.
We face significant competition in the salon business, which could harm our sales and profitability.
The primary competition to our operations comes from salons offering excellent customer service in the Salt Lake Area market. We have identified our main competitors as Lunatic Fringe, Salon Zazou and Salon RZ. We are also in competition with large scale hair cutting operations such as Great Clips, Supercuts, and Fantastic Sams, though these operations do not compete in offering the high-end services and products of our salons.
The loss of the Aveda™ line of products would damage the operation of our salons and have a significant and negative impact on our ability to operate and generate revenues.
Our salons offer the Aveda™ line of products, which are used exclusively in the services provided to customers of the salon and offered for retail sale at the salon location. Loss of the Aveda™ product line would have a significant and negative impact on the operation of the salons and their ability to generate revenues from either retail sales of health and beauty products or from providing services to consumers at the salon. We believe that the high quality and reputation of this line of products is key to our current operations and future success.
Changes in manufacturers' choice of distribution channels may negatively affect our revenues.
The retail products that we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons. The products we purchase for sale in our salons are purchased pursuant to purchase orders, as opposed to long-term contracts, and generally can be terminated by the producer without much advance notice. Should the various product manufacturers decide to utilize other distribution channels, such as large discount retailers, it could negatively impact the revenue earned from product sales.
25
If we fail to protect the security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to costly government enforcement actions or private litigation and our reputation could suffer.
The nature of our business involves processing, transmission and storage of personal information about our customers. If we experience a data security breach, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to stop visiting our salons altogether. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and fluctuates widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
· | significant dilution; |
· | our services or our competitors; |
· | additions or departures of key personnel; |
· | our ability to execute our business plan; |
· | operating results that fall below expectations; |
· | loss of any strategic relationship; |
· | economic and other external factors; and |
· | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Investors bear a risk that a liquid market may never develop and as a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times you may wish and market liquidity may be limited.
Even though our securities are quoted on the OTC Markets, that may not permit our investors to sell securities when and in the manner that they wish. There is not currently a significant volume of shares trading in the Company’s common stock and there may never be sufficient volume to create a liquid market such as to allow all shareholders to sell or buy shares whenever they desire. A liquid market for the sale of shares of the Companies securities may never develop.
Our common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is and will be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
