Description of Business | 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
We are a corporation originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1996, but re-incorporated in Nevada effective June 3, 2011. We formerly operated under the name GANAS Corp. (“GANAS”). Prior to November 2009, GANAS’ objective was to obtain through acquisition and/or merger transactions, assets, which could benefit our shareholders. Effective November 4, 2009, GANAS acquired Go Green USA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company organized on April 28, 2009 (“Go”), in a share 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 common stock with par value $0.001 for each 1% membership interest in Go, following which GANAS changed its name to Green Automotive Company Corporation. Effective September 30, 2011, we effected a Change of Domicile, re-incorporating in Nevada and simplifying our name to Green Automotive Company, among other things (the “Re-Incorporation”). | |
We are 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 U.S. market, to be manufactured by our subsidiary, Newport Coach Works, Inc. | |
Liberty Transaction | |
On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Liberty Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2 Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC (the “LEC Shares”), that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC2 (the “LEC2 Shares”) (collectively the “LEC Securities”) in exchange for the transfer of Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders. These shares represented approximately 8.19% of our outstanding voting control. We also issued to Mr. West and Mr. Hobday, the executives of LEC, a total of 300,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the non-competition provisions in their independent contractor agreements. This transaction closed on July 23, 2012. | |
Additionally, pursuant to the Liberty Agreement, we issued to GAC Automotive Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“GAC Auto”) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”). The issuance of the Series B shares to GAC Auto is not part of the purchase price of the LEC Entities and is not compensation to the LEC Entities or LEC Shareholders, but is reserved for issuance to certain entities that LEC and/or LEC2 have been in negotiations with at the time of execution of the Liberty Agreement if those entities and/or assets are purchased by us or our subsidiaries. The determination as to when and if to transfer the Series B Shares from GAC Auto to a selling party must be approved by our Board of Directors. To date, all of the Series B Shares are still held by GAC Auto. | |
As a result of the Liberty Transaction, we acquired LEC, a company that designs and develops electric vehicle drive solutions for use in its own converted vehicles and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for incorporation into their production. LEC’s engineers have invented innovative EV drive train technologies that can be employed in a wide variety of vehicle platforms. LEC is also involved in a number of advanced research programs for developing next generation electric vehicle (“EV”) solutions. These programs include the prestigious “Deliver” project where LEC is working together with “tier one” automotive companies to develop a pure electric commercial vehicle, and the “Motore” project in which LEC has partnered with other “tier one” automotive companies and universities to develop a “rare earth” free electric motor technology. Additionally, LEC has also created after sales support for EV’s, by providing a comprehensive aftermarket maintenance program throughout Europe for electric trucks and cars. | |
Due to its experience in EV technologies and in servicing EVs, LEC recently re-signed its agreement with, a large U.S. truck manufacturer, for the on-going support of electric vehicles run by its key clients in Europe. LEC will continue to take care of all warranty support when required by these customers, all of whom run fleets of electric commercial vehicles across Europe. This truck manufacturer’s customers include major companies such as FedEx, UPS and Veolia, who are using the first “ground up” electric trucks known as the “Modec” that were launched some 4 years ago for the purpose of making pollution free deliveries in urban areas. | |
Newport Coachworks Transaction (as Restated) | |
On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder, in exchange for the transfer of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock due at the closing of the transaction (the “GACR Closing Shares”), and up to an additional Twenty Two Million (22,000,000) shares of our common stock (the “GACR Additional Shares” and together with the GACR Closing Shares, the “GACR Shares”) to vest as follows: upon NCWI obtaining bona fide, binding purchase orders, with cash down payment standard in the industry to NCWI, from third party purchasers requiring NCWI to manufacturer Sixty (60) buses with compressed natural gas engines at NCWI’s manufacturing facility (each a “Qualified Purchase Order”) within the first twelve (12) months following the payment of one-half of the initial forecasted funding of $500,000. As discussed below GACR will issue to Mr. Read up to all of the GACR Additional Shares, which shares will either be kept in escrow and distributed, or kept in treasury and issued, to Mr. Read within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter pro rata with the number of Qualified Purchase Orders received by NCWI for the applicable calendar quarter (the “NCWI Transaction”). The determination as to whether the shares will be issued and held in escrow or kept in treasury will be determined by the Parties in good faith and has not been determined to date. The GACR Shares, if all issued, currently represent approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock. This transaction closed on October 12, 2012. The shares were not issued to NCWI as of March 31, 2013. Due to administrative delays combined with the restrictions placed upon our Transfer agent following the TRO as explained in Note 19 Subsequent Events the 5,000,000 shares were not issued until July 18, 2013 | |
Matter of Time Merger | |
On September 1, 2011, Green Automotive Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Mark E. Crone (“Crone”) and Bosch Equities, L.P. (“Bosch”), under which we purchased 100% of the outstanding equity of Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”), and extinguished a repayment obligation of MOT totaling $6,000, all in exchange for $30,000. | |
On February 10, 2012, Green Automotive Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”) (the “MOT Agreement”). Under the MOT Agreement, at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the MOT Agreement, MOT dissolved into and became a part of Green Automotive Company, with Green Automotive Company being the surviving corporation and assuming MOT’s status as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On December 14, 2012 the transactions contemplated by the MOT Agreement closed (the “Closing”). As a result of the Closing, MOT was merged out of existence and Green Automotive Company became a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. | |

Basis of Presentation | 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America. | |
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which our management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of our operating results in future periods. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 GAAP in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements. | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The Company’s unaudited condensed 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. | |
Reverse Merger Accounting | |
The MOT Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Green Automotive Company was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and MOT was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of Green Automotive Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of Green Automotive Company. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. | |
Going Concern | |
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as of March 31, 2013, we have sustained recurring operating losses and have a stockholders’ deficit of $35,144,602. These conditions, among others, give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is continuing to seek additional equity capital to fund the acquisition or to purchase an ongoing business and improving profitability of existing operations. Until such time, we anticipate our working capital needs will be funded through the issuance of debt and equity instruments. Management believes these steps will provide us with adequate funds to sustain our continued existence. There is, however, no assurance that the steps taken by management will meet all of our needs or that we will continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 condensed 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. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | |
Accounts receivable | |
Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, which are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of taxes, allowances for doubtful accounts and prompt payment discounts. Trade receivables do not carry interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible. | |
Inventories | |
The Company’s inventories are valued at cost, as determined by the first-in, first out (FIFO) method; in aggregate such valuations are not in excess of market. | |
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. | |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends FASB Codification Topic 220 on comprehensive income disclosures. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements, while eliminating the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 were adopted in 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it required only a change in the format of presentation. | |
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 and impairment. | |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment consisting of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives ranging from three 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. | |
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. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
Derivative Instruments | |
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income under other income (expense). | |
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. | |
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. | |
Income Taxes | |
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. | |
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our "major" tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2007 through 2012 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2007 through 2012 California Franchise Tax Returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized. | |
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
We recognize revenues related to annual membership income and service of electric vehicles in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and services are provided. In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. In the event we have amounts billed or collected in accordance with contractual terms in advance of when the work is performed we treat these as deferred revenues. These advance payments primarily relate to the Company's grant project and E-Care membership scheme. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the balance the Company estimates will be earned as revenue during the next fiscal year (see note 9). | |
Grant Income | |
Grant income is not recognized until a grant claim has been submitted and approved by Government representatives. | |
E-tech services | |

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (as Restated) | |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) 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 555,142 (net of 300,000 forfeit shares) for March 31, 2013 and 500,000 for March 2012 Series A convertible preferred Stock, using the if-converted method, 18,000,000 for March 31, 2013 and 4,000,000 for March 31, 2012 Stock options, using the treasury stock method, and 5,551,913 shares for March 31, 2013 (nil March 2012) for convertible loan notes, 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. | |
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 condensed 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. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance allows an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
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. |

On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2 Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC Entities in exchange for Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders. The Company valued the common shares at $0.05 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s common stock. These shares represent approximately Ten percent (10%) of our outstanding voting control. This transaction closed on July 23, 2012. | ||||||||||||
Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, we issued to GAC Automotive Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“GAC Auto”) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”). The issuance of the Series B shares to GAC Auto is not part of the purchase price of the LEC Entities and is not compensation to the LEC Entities or LEC Shareholders, but is reserved for issuance to certain entities that LEC and/or LEC2 have been in negotiations with at the time of execution of the Agreement if those entities and/or assets are purchased by us or our subsidiaries. The determination as to when and if to transfer the Series B Shares from GAC Auto to a selling party must be approved by our Board of Directors. | ||||||||||||
As part of the Agreement, the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted preferred stock to two LEC Directors as a covenant not to compete. The preferred shares are fully forfeitable in the event the Directors terminated their employment before the third year anniversary. Additionally, these preferred shares were valued at $5 per share and were recorded as part of purchase price. The Company valued the preferred shares at $5.00 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s preferred stock. | ||||||||||||
Contemporaneously with the Agreement, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement No.1 (the “Stock Agreement”) with First Market Services, a Nevada corporation (“FMS”), under which we may sell up to One Hundred Twenty Thousand (120,000) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”) for the purchase price of Five Dollars ($5) per share. Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, FMS has the right to purchase the Series A Shares in increments of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) with a minimum purchase of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per month for a minimum of twelve (12) months, with Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) being earmarked for the LEC Entities to fund their operations and growth, and Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) being earmarked to fund the costs associated with the Company being a public company. | ||||||||||||
On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder, in exchange for the transfer of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock (The Company valued the common shares at $0.05 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s common stock) due at the closing of the transaction (the “GACR Closing Shares”), and up to an additional Twenty Two Million (22,000,000) shares of our common stock (the “GACR Additional Shares” and together with the GACR Closing Shares, the “GACR Shares”) to vest as follows: upon NCWI obtaining bona fide, binding purchase orders, with cash down payment standard in the industry to NCWI, from third party purchasers requiring NCWI to manufacturer Sixty (60) buses with compressed natural gas engines at NCWI’s manufacturing facility (each a “Qualified Purchase Order”) within the first twelve (12) months following the payment of one-half of the initial forecasted funding ($500,000). As discussed below, GACR will issue Mr. Read up to all of the GACR Additional Shares, which shares will either be kept in escrow and distributed, or kept in treasury and issued, to Mr. Read within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter pro rata with the number of Qualified Purchase Orders received by NCWI for that quarter. | ||||||||||||
The determination as to whether the shares will be issued and held in escrow or kept in treasury will be determined by the Parties in good faith and has not been determined to date. The GACR Shares, if all issued, would currently represent approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock. This transaction closed on October 12, 2012. | ||||||||||||
As noted above, we have a financing obligation to NCWI under the NCWI Agreement under which we are agreed to provide up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to NCWI pursuant to the forecasted timeline set forth in the NCWI Agreement. The total funding is made up of $500,000 as the forecasted requirement for initiating an internal combustion engine based bus manufacturing and $500,000 as the forecasted requirement for reaching pre-production stage in electric bus manufacturing. Both parties to the NCWI Agreement agreed that the funding requirements are forecasted amounts which may rise or fall according to business requirements and may be modified by the parties as needed. | ||||||||||||

The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC Subtopic 805-10, “Business Combinations,” and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The purchase price for the LEC and NCWI Businesses was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions were subject to change within the measurement period. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets, if any, was recorded as goodwill and is generally driven by our expectations of our ability to realize synergies and achieve our strategic growth objectives. | ||||||||||||
The goodwill recorded in connection with the LEC and NCWI acquisitions were $3,733,543 and $249,000, respectively, on each transaction acquisition date. and was fully written off in year ended December 31, 2012. The impairment arose because of the lowered revenue and cash flow projections. | ||||||||||||
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, impairment testing for goodwill is performed at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of December 31. Goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. | ||||||||||||
The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach, which is performed at the entity level as the Company has one reporting unit. Step 1 compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, there is a potential impairment and Step 2 must be performed. Step 2 compares the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value (i.e., the fair value of the reporting unit less the fair value of the unit’s assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets). If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the excess is recorded as an impairment. | ||||||||||||
The Company performed its annual test of goodwill as of December 31, 2012. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit. | ||||||||||||
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company concluded there were indicators of potential goodwill impairment, including the decline in the value of the Company’s revenue recognition. As a result of identifying indicators of impairment, the Company performed an impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||
In performing Step 1 of the impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using the market approach for purposes of estimating the total enterprise value for the Company. | ||||||||||||
The market approach is based on the guideline publicly traded company method to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Under this method, market multiples ratios were applied to the reporting unit’s earnings with consideration given to the Company’s size, product offerings, growth, and other relevant factors compared to those of the guideline companies. The guideline companies selected were engaged in the same or a similar line of business as the Company. Market multiples were then selected based on consideration of risk, growth, and profitability differences between the Company and the guideline companies. The selected market multiples were then multiplied by the Company’s earnings streams for the twelve months ended December, 2012 and an annual 2013 forecast, with each given equal weighting, to arrive at an estimate of fair value for the Company. | ||||||||||||
Based on the above analysis, it was determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit, requiring the Company to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. | ||||||||||||
In performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value of goodwill. This test resulted in a non-cash, goodwill impairment charge of $3,982,543 which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2012. This charge had no impact on our cash flows or our compliance with debt covenants. | ||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the balance of the Company’s goodwill as of December 31, 2011 and September 30 2012: | ||||||||||||

Total goodwill, net | $ | — | $ | 3,982,543 | $ | -3,982,543 | $ | — | ||||
The fair value estimates used in the goodwill impairment analysis required significant judgment. The Company’s fair value estimates for purposes of determining the goodwill impairment charge are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. We based our fair value estimates on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain, including estimates of future revenues and operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate and the competitive environment for our business. Our estimates assume that revenues will decline into the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments or anticipated operating results are not correct, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods. |

Stock Incentive Plan | 15. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN | |||||||||||||||
On May 30, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, participants, including both employees and nonemployees of the Company, have the opportunity to acquire common units of the Company. For awards made under the Plan, participants purchase common units at the time the award is made at (i) a stated value, or (ii) a percentage that is not less than 50% of the current fair market value of the stock. Award agreements with employees have a term of ten years and typically have a graded vesting terms over five years. If a participant ceases to be employed with the Company prior to the end of the vesting period, the participant forfeits his/her rights to any unvested units at the date of the termination. | ||||||||||||||||
There were 4,000,000 unvested stock options as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company granted 18,000,000 and 1,000,000 stock options during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 The Company also did not record any stock option expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||

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 $1,205,950 in consideration the Company issued to FMS 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted no par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“CPS”). | ||||||||||||||||
On July 23, 2012 and in relation with the LEC Acquisition (Note 4), the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted preferred stock to two LEC Directors as a covenant not to compete. The preferred shares are fully forfeitable in the event the Directors terminated their employment or violated the non-compete provision before the third year anniversary. Additionally, these preferred shares were valued at $5 per share and were recorded as part of the purchase price. | ||||||||||||||||
On or about September 29, 2012, the Company issued an additional 30,000 CPS to FMS to settle $150,000 of advances owed to FMS (see Note 4) at a conversion rate of $5 per CPS. | ||||||||||||||||
On or about December 26, 2012, the Company issued an additional 53,680 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $5 per CPS. | ||||||||||||||||
On or about December 26, 2012, the Company issued an additional 12,121 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $8.5 per CPS. | ||||||||||||||||
On or about February 15, 2013 FMS converted 62,500 Pref A shares in to 20,437,331 shares of our common stock. | ||||||||||||||||
On or about March 6, 2013, the Company issued an additional 21,841 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $8.5 per CPS in settlement of $180,188 advances from related party. | ||||||||||||||||
The CPS is convertible into Company’s common stock in accordance with the following formula: | ||||||||||||||||
No. of common shares to be issued upon conversion of CPS =font> | ||||||||||||||||
No. of common stock outstanding on date of conversion x 0.000001 x No. of preferred stock being converted. | ||||||||||||||||
Additionally, the financial statements presented here have been restated to give effect that subsequent to the filing date of the Original Form 10-K the Company the Black Scholes calculation for Derivative Transactions relating to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock incorrectly assumed that there was a 16.667% restriction in the number of common shares that the preferred shares could be converted into. This had the effect of understating the cost of the transactions in 2011 and 2012 and understating the liability. Please see restatement note 20 below. | ||||||||||||||||
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 initially recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of the CPS on date of issuance and was charged to operations. On March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment based on the fair value of the derivative liability on that date which resulted in a gain of $38,690,539. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with a quoted market price of $0.18, a conversion price of $0.157, expected volatility of 104%, no expected dividends, an expected term of one year and a risk-free interest rate of 0.16%. As of March 31, 2013, the number of common shares that could be potentially issued to settle the conversion of the preferred stock is 191,815,170 common shares. | ||||||||||||||||

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 $12,615,000 in NOL at December 31, 2012 that will begin to expire in 2030 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. | ||||||||||||

Our predecessor, Go Green USA, LLC (“Go Green”) was a defendant, along with other defendants in a civil action filed in Marshall County, West Virginia by Glen Dale Motor Co. and Tomsic Motor Co, Civil Action no. 11-C-104 H. This undefended and previously unknown action resulted in a default judgment order in the amount of $3,717,615 with interest accruing at 7% per annum from and after February 13, 2012. There is no active effort to enforce this action against Go Green and we believe there are numerous defenses to the asserted judgment and any such enforcement effort. Moreover, the existence of the liability pre-existed our acquisition of Go Green and its existence was not disclosed as a part of the acquisition. | |
Management has not accrued for this event in the financial statements as its not determinable whether the Company is liable for this as Steve Wells is no longer with the Company. The Company expects that if they are served that the expected loss could be between zero to $3,717,615. |

On January 31, 2013, the Company signed a binding agreement to buy UK-based electric vehicle distributor Going Green Limited (www.goingreen.co.uk). Trading under the brand name, “GoinGreen”, it has sold over 1400 of the highly successful G-Wiz electric vehicles, making it one of Europe’s largest single retailers of electric vehicles. Going Green Ltd was founded in 2002 and in the early days, set itself the mission to minimize the effects of climate change by encouraging carbon-neutral motoring. The company pioneered electric vehicles in the UK with the G-Wiz, an electric vehicle designed in California and manufactured in India by the Indo-Reva Electric Car Company, making London the capital of the electric vehicle (EV). The deal was completed on April 1, 2013 when 1,562,498 shares of GACR common stock was exchanged for 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Going Green Limited (an England and Wales private limited company). | |
On April 15, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, Newport Coachworks Inc. (NCI), delivered the first one of the 432 buses ordered from its major customer Don Brown Bus Sales Inc. | |
On March 22, 2013 GACR filed an Ex Parte Motion For Temporary Restraining Order against TBG in the Utah District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Utah TRO”) requesting the Court for permission to instruct the GACR Transfer Agent to put a Rule 144 Legend on two (2) certificates (representing 1,000,000 shares of GACR Common Stock - the “TBG Shares”) which had been submitted by TBG to MTG Trading (a registered NASD Broker-Dealer) for deposit in “street name” for future sale into the public market. After a brief hearing on March 22, 2013, the Court, decided that there was enough evidence presented by GACR to justify a Temporary Restraining Order, and granted GACR's motion. | |
The following week the Court held a Hearing with all parties to settle on a form of order for the permanent injunction requested by GACR, or allow the GACR Transfer Agent to re-issue the TBG Shares in the name of Cede & Co. (effectively allowing the TBG Shares to be sold as “Free-Trading” shares in the public market): the Court decided to let the Temporary Restraining Order stand, which served to prevent Action Stock Transfer from re-issuing the TBG Shares in the name of Cede & Co. but left open for additional briefing and consideration the issue of whether the amount of the bond for the injunction should be increased to the difference between the current estimated free market value of the TBG Shares ($250,000 give or take) and the value on the day of the Courts decision. The Court determined that the possible loss to TBG, if it was decided that the TBG Shares should not have been held by the GACR Transfer Agent and re-legended, was $50,000 and ordered GACR to post a $50,000 Bond, which we posted. | |
However, on May 9, 2013 the Court issued its Memorandum Decision and Order in favor of GACR placing a Permanent Injunction on the re-issuance of the TBG Shares without a Rule 144 Legend until such shares were eligible under Rule 144 for the removal of the restrictive Legend, which is on or about December 24, 2013. As a result, GACR’s Bond will be canceled and, while TBG has the right to appeal the Memorandum Decision and Order. In management’s view it is more likely than not that TBG will not do so and, failing an appeal by TBG, GACR is released from the terms of the Utah TRO as to the restriction on issuance of additional shares to meet pre-TRO agreements and other agreements to which we are a party which require the issuance of additional shares of our stock. See Memorandum Decision and Order attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our First Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2013. |

Summary_of_Significant_Account1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2013 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
The Company’s unaudited condensed 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. | |
Reverse Merger Accounting | Reverse Merger Accounting |
The MOT Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Green Automotive Company was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and MOT was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of Green Automotive Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of Green Automotive Company. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. | |
Going Concern | Going Concern |
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, as of March 31, 2013, we have sustained recurring operating losses and have a stockholders’ deficit of $35,144,602. These conditions, among others, give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is continuing to seek additional equity capital to fund the acquisition or to purchase an ongoing business and improving profitability of existing operations. Until such time, we anticipate our working capital needs will be funded through the issuance of debt and equity instruments. Management believes these steps will provide us with adequate funds to sustain our continued existence. There is, however, no assurance that the steps taken by management will meet all of our needs or that we will continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 condensed 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. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | |
Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable |
Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, which are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of taxes, allowances for doubtful accounts and prompt payment discounts. Trade receivables do not carry interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible. | |
Inventories | Inventories |
The Company’s inventories are valued at cost, as determined by the first-in, first out (FIFO) method; in aggregate such valuations are not in excess of market. | |
Concentrations | 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. | |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends FASB Codification Topic 220 on comprehensive income disclosures. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements, while eliminating the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 were adopted in 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it required only a change in the format of presentation. | |
Intangible Assets | 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 and impairment. | |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment consisting of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives ranging from three 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. | |
Impairment of Long-Lived 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. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. | |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments |
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income under other income (expense). | |
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. | |
Fair Value Measurements | 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. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. | |
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our "major" tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2007 through 2012 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2007 through 2012 California Franchise Tax Returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized. | |
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
We recognize revenues related to annual membership income and service of electric vehicles in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and services are provided. In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. In the event we have amounts billed or collected in accordance with contractual terms in advance of when the work is performed we treat these as deferred revenues. These advance payments primarily relate to the Company's grant project and E-Care membership scheme. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the balance the Company estimates will be earned as revenue during the next fiscal year (see note 9). | |
Grant Income | |
Grant income is not recognized until a grant claim has been submitted and approved by Government representatives. | |
E-tech services | |
Revenues from consultancy services are recognized only when all services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. | |
E-Care services | |
Revenues from maintenance, repair, and overhaul services are recognized only when all services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. | |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (as Restated) | Net Income (Loss) per Common Share |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) 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 Series A convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible loan notes, 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. | |
Share-Based Payment Arrangements | 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. | |
Reclassifications | 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. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance allows an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
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. |

Loss contingency, management's assessment and process | Our predecessor, Go Green USA, LLC, was a defendant, along with other defendants in a civil action filed in Marshall County, West Virginia by Glen Dale Motor Co. and Tomsic Motor Co, Civil Action no. 11-C-104 H. This undefended and previously unknown action resulted in a default judgment order in the amount of $3,717,615 with interest accruing at 7% per annum from and after February 13, 2012. There is no active effort to enforce this action against Go Green and we believe there are numerous defenses to the asserted judgment and any such enforcement effort. Moreover, the existence of the liability pre-existed our acquisition of Go Green and its existence was not disclosed as a part of the acquisition. |

Loss contingency, actions taken by court | On May 7, 2013 GACR filed an Ex Parte Motion For Temporary Restraining Order against TBG in the Utah District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah requesting the Court for permission to instruct the GACR Transfer Agent to put a Rule 144 Legend on two certificates (representing 1,000,000 shares of GACR Common Stock) which had been submitted by TBG to MTG Trading for deposit in "street name" for future sale into the public market. After a brief hearing on May 7th, the Court, decided that there was enough evidence presented by GACR to justify a Temporary Restraining Order, and granted GACR's motion. The following week the Court held a Hearing with all parties to settle on a form of order for the permanent injunction requested by GACR, or allow the GACR Transfer Agent to re-issue the TBG Shares in the name of Cede & Co. (effectively allowing the TBG Shares to be sold as "Free-Trading" shares in the public market): the Court decided to let the Temporary Restraining Order stand, which served to prevent Action Stock Transfer from re-issuing the TBG Shares in the name of Cede & Co. but left open for additional briefing and consideration the issue of whether the amount of the bond for the injunction should be increased to the difference between the current estimated free market value of the TBG Shares ($250,000 give or take) and the value on the day of the Courts decision. The Court determined that the possible loss to TBG, if it was decided that the TBG Shares should not have been held by the GACR Transfer Agent and re-legended, was $50,000 and ordered GACR to post a $50,000 Bond., which we posted. However, on May 9, 2013 the Court issued its Memorandum Decision and Order in favor of GACR placing a Permanent Injunction on the re-issuance of the TBG Shares without a Rule 144 Legend until such shares were eligible under Rule 144 for the removal of the restrictive Legend, which is on or about December 24, 2013. As a result, GACR's Bond will be canceled and, while TBG has the right to appeal the Memorandum Decision and Order. In management's view it is more likely than not that TBG will not do so and, failing an appeal by TBG, GACR is released from the terms of the Utah TRO as to the restriction on issuance of additional shares to meet pre-TRO agreements and other agreements to which we are a party which require the issuance of additional shares of our stock. |
