REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Green Automotive Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Green Automotive Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statement of expenses, stockholders’ (deficit)/equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period from April 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurances about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration over of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statements presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Green Automotive Company and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations, their cash flows for years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, and the period from April 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Green Automotive Company, formerly GANAS Corp. ("GANAS"), is a Delaware corporation ("Green Auto" or "the Company"). Prior to November 2009, GANAS’s objective was to obtain through acquisitions and/or merger transactions, assets, which could benefit its shareholders. Effective November 4, 2009, GANAS acquired Go Green USA LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company organized April 28, 2009 ("Go"), in shares exchange transaction pursuant to which newly issued shares of GANAS common stock were issued in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Membership Interests of Go (the "Go Merger"). The Go Merger resulted in GANAS issuing 1,436,202 shares of its par value $0.001 common stock for each 1% Membership Interest in Go, following which GANAS changed its name to Green Automotive Company Corporation. Effective September 30, 2011 the Company effected a Change of Domicile, re-incorporating in Nevada and simplifying its name to Green Automotive Company.
The Company is involved in the import and distribution of Eco-friendly vehicles and is presently planning to bring All-Electric and other Eco-friendly vehicles into the United States market. The Company is currently involved in assessing a number of All-Electric and alternate fuel vehicles including an All-Electric Intra-City and Municipal Mass Transit Bus and School Bus, for introduction to the US market.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended December 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit and no revenue. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2012.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company does not hold significant variable interests in any variable interest entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Development Stage and Capital Resources
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company has not generated any significant revenues from its principal operations, and there is no assurance of future revenues.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations
The Company currently maintains substantially all of its cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The assumptions used by management in future estimates could change significantly due to changes in circumstances, including, but not limited to, challenging economic conditions. Accordingly, future estimates may differ significantly. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, investments, intangibles, and inventories.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, determined on the average-cost basis. Inventory includes components and finished goods of $263,489 and $70,600 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company performs an annual physical inventory and maintains an inventory reserve based on its experience and periodic reviews of obsolete and slow moving inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of automobiles, trailers and furniture and fixtures and are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives ranging from five to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the disposition of fixed assets are recorded upon disposal.
Intangible Assets
Acquired intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite. Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is computed over the useful lives of the respective assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted estimated future cash flows, an impairment review is performed. An impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and2010, there were no impairment charges.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, inputs other than level one that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities on markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Net Loss per Common Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Share-Based Payment Arrangements
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expenses resulting from share-based payments are recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, that updates the presentation such that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2012). Further, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 that effectively defers the changes in ASU No. 2011-05 related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We updated our presentation of comprehensive income in accordance with this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, the objective of which is to provide additional disclosures on the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of the update. The update primarily impacts financial instruments and derivatives subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013). We are currently evaluating the disclosures required under this ASU.
In 2011, the FASB issued an ASU, which is intended to reduce the complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of good will impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The ASU also expands upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent pronouncements issued by FASB (including its Emerging Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (continued)
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from estimates and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

INCOME TAXES
Our provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows (using our blended effective Federal and State income tax rate of 35.0%):
| | | | | |
| 2011 | | 2010 |
Current Tax Provision: | | | | | |
Federal and state | | | | | |
Taxable income | $ | - | | $ | - |
Total current tax provision | $ | - | | $ | - |
| | | | | |
Deferred Tax Provision: | | | | | |
Federal and state | | | | | |
Net loss carryforwards | $ | (5,621,000) | | $ | (2,695,000) |
Change in valuation allowance | | 5,621,000 | | | 2,695,000 |
Total deferred tax provision | $ | - | | $ | - |
Deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
| 2011 | | 2010 |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 1,967,000 | | $ | 943,000 |
| | | | | |
Valuation allowance | | (1,967,000) | | | (943,000) |
| | | | | |
Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | | $ | - |
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar California rules place a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership). Transactions such as planned future sales of our common stock may be included in determining such a change in control. These factors give rise to uncertainty as to whether the net deferred tax assets are realizable. We have approximately $1,967,000 in NOL at December 31, 2011 that will begin to expire in 2029 for federal and state purposes and could be limited for use under IRC Section 382. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset balance due because we believe there exists a substantial doubt that we will be able to realize the benefits due to our lack of a history of earnings and due to possible limitations under IRC Section 382. A reconciliation of the expected tax benefit computed at the U.S. federal and state statutory income tax rates to our tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Years ended December 31, | |
| 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Federal income tax rate at 35% | $ | (1,967,000) | | 35.0 | % | | $ | (943,000) | | 35.0 | % |
State income tax, net of federal benefit | | - | | - | % | | | - | | - | % |
Change in valuation allowance | | 1,967,000 | | (35.0) | % | | | 943,000 | | (35.0) | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Benefit for income taxes | $ | - | | - | % | | $ | - | | - | % |
We file income tax returns in the U.S. with varying statutes of limitations. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of our provision for income taxes. There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and thus no interest or penalties included in the financial statements.

EQUITY
Convertible Preferred Stock and Derivative Liability
On December 21, 2011, the Company and FMS entered into the Settlement & Conversion Agreement (“SCA”) whereby the parties agreed that FMS should forgive all amounts owed from the Company under the agreement including the accrued interest as documented under the individual convertible promissory notes for a total of $1,139,670 in consideration the Company issued to FMS 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted no par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“CPS”). The CPS is convertible into Company’s common stock in accordance with the following formula (limited to 16.667% of the then issued and outstanding common stock):
No. of common shares to be issued upon conversion of CPS =
No. of common stock outstanding on date of conversion fully diluted x (0.000001 x No. of preferred stock outstanding at date of conversion).
Due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion option embedded in the CPS, the conversion feature is classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value.
Pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of the CPS of $1,373,045 and was charged to operations. The initial fair value of the derivative liability was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with a quoted market price of $0.05, a conversion price of $0.025, expected volatility of 74%, no expected dividends, an expected term of two years and a risk-free interest rate of 0.28%.
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on December 31, 2011.
