EXPLANATORY NOTE


During the preparation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 the Company determined that we had understated revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  As a result, the Company overstated net loss by $94,659 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Revenues increased by $94,659, accounts receivable increased by $143,064, and prepaid expenses decreased by $48,405.  Accordingly, we are filing this amended Form 10-K to restate the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the proper revenues and related adjustments.  This amended Form 10-K does not include subsequent events occurring after the original report’s filing date.

PART II



ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  


Executive Overview


ForeverGreen Worldwide is a holding company which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ForeverGreen International, LLC.  


We intend to continue our emphasis as a total lifestyle company focused on bringing our domestic and international Members and customers the exclusive FrequenSea product, any new products and ForeverGreen Compensation Plan earnings and commissions.   In addition, our focus is to assist prospective Members in creating a home based business with home business training, mentorship and accountability to promote our residual income stream opportunities.  We also intend to provide organic chocolates, weight management products, convenient whole foods for meals and snacks, personal care products and essential oils to our domestic Members and customers.  As our international markets mature, additional ForeverGreen products may also be introduced in each international market. We will seek relations with key vendors to continue developing cutting edge products that are exclusive to our Members.


We experienced a significant increase in sales in March 2011 as compared to February 2011 primarily as the result of the introduction of our new products “VERSATIVA” which was designed to improve our business opportunity for our independent distributors.  We continue to experience sales growth trends in 2011 that have again continued into the first quarter of 2012.  We anticipate that the increase in sales will continue in the short term. The Company has simplified is message and products under the philosophy of Restoration Biology, branded as RESTORATION90. Manage believes this will allow a great ease of entry to our many products and there uses to support the body’s needs.


We introduced the FG Xpress brand in November of 2012 we have since seen the sales trend averaging 30% sales growth per month since the launch.  With this global, seamless, Not For Resale program, we were able to attract industry leaders around the world and we project great sales increases in the year of 2013.  


Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to respond to the economic conditions and properly manage our systems and logistics centers around the world to support the demand for our products and the business opportunity.  Included in this challenge is the need to continue to create a customer service and Member satisfaction level at the highest quality.  Overcoming economic down turns will require skilled personnel, and manufacturing and shipping facilities.  Management intends to modify our operating activities, especially production and order

fulfillment, for the current economic environment as well as prepare the Company for the upturn of demand as people continue to look for other income opportunities and choose ForeverGreen as the company they can align with for their future.


We are expanding our markets and exclusive products and we anticipate the need to expand our international logistics centers.  The rewards include increased sales and diversified market incomes.  International expansion is very expensive and key Members are required to experience rapid growth to be profitable in a foreign country.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2012 we had cash and cash equivalents of $89,253, with a working capital deficit of $4,948,132. We recognized revenues of $12,575,375 for 2012 and recorded a net loss of $790,199 compared to $13,701,802 in revenues and a net loss of $1,459,268 for 2011.  During 2012 we financed our operations with revenues, a $100,000 revolving line of credit, a third party loan of $25,000, and three related party loans of $100,000.  Based on these factors, our independent accounting firm has expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.


Management continues to negotiate better costs and terms with our key vendors to lower our cost of goods sold.  New products have been and will continue to be introduced to bolster Member recruiting and product sales.  In addition, management intends to improve our marketing plan to enhance overall profitability.  Our management will continue to scrutinize expenses related to our operating activities and order fulfillment to determine appropriate actions to take to reduce these costs; however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to return to profitability in the short term.  


Management anticipates that any future additional capital needed for cash shortfalls will be provided by debt financing.  We may pay these loans with cash, if available, or convert these loans into common stock.  We may also issue private placements of stock to raise additional funding.  Any private placement likely will rely upon exemptions from registration provided by federal and state securities laws.  The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions.  We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock then our shareholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.  


Commitments and Contingent Liabilities


Our total liabilities at December 31, 2012 were $5,908,282 compared to $5,950,954 at December 31, 2011.  The decrease is due to a decrease of accounts payable (including related parties) of $491,132, an increase in accrued expenses of $397,211, a decrease in bank overdraft of $129,711, an increase in deferred revenue of $113,085, and other small variances.  


On December 3, 2012 the Company secured a $200,000 line of credit from a third party. Under the terms and conditions of the line of credit the Company can draw against the line as needed to fund operations. The line has a fixed interest rate of 10% per annum and the principle amount of all draws and outstanding interest is due and payable on or before June 30, 2013.  The note has a conversion feature that provides the creditor with the option to convert any outstanding balance of the note to the Company's restricted common shares at $0.08 per share. The line of credit is secured by the Company's assets including, but not limited to, business furniture, fixtures equipment and up to 2,500,000 restricted shares held in escrow. During the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 the Company entered into a $25,000 promissory note in exchange for cash of $14,000 and expenses paid for by a third party of $11,000 under the terms of this line of credit to fund operations.


At December 31, 2012 the Company was in default for an aggregate of $1,253,476 in notes payable and convertible notes payable.  The Company and the lenders are discussing consolidating the defaulted notes into new notes within the next six months.

Our total assets decreased to $1,448,234 at December 31, 2012 from $2,326,010 at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in inventory and cash and cash equivalents. Total liabilities also decreased primarily due to decreases in accounts payable and bank overdraft.

We experienced a 8.22% decrease in revenues in 2012 over 2011 resulting from a slower than expected fourth quarter revenues. Our source of revenue is from the sale of various foods, other natural products, distributor sign ups and kits and freight and handling to delivery products to the distributor and customer.  We recognize revenue upon shipment of a sales order.


Gross profits increased due to reducing our two largest cost of sales expenses, commission expense and product costs as we were able to optimize pricing with our key vendors.


Cost of sales consists primarily of sales commissions paid to our distributors, the cost of procuring and packaging products, and the cost of shipping product to our international subsidiaries and warehouses and to our distributors, plus credit card sales processing fees.  Cost of sales was approximately 68.69% of revenues for 2012 compared to 82.61% of revenues for 2011.  The 2012 decrease is primarily due to reducing the amount of bonus commissions paid to distributors and decreasing our product costs.


Total operating expenses increased for 2012 compared to 2011 by $577,787. The majority of the increases came in the fourth quarter as management was growing the company for future growth in 2013. Salaries and wages along with general and administrative expenses increased due to creating a larger IT team to better customize our point of sale system to our distributor needs.  In addition, operating expenses largely increased due to recording an inventory impairment of $257,314 during 2012.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements


We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.


Critical Accounting Estimates


The excess of the consideration paid for subsidiaries over the fair value of acquired tangible assets less the fair value of acquired liabilities is assigned to intangible assets.  We rely on an independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to identifiable intangible assets, and the useful lives of those assets.  We amortize identifiable intangible assets over their useful life unless that life is determined to be indefinite.  The useful life of an intangible asset that is being amortized is evaluated each reporting period as to whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.  


We calculated ForeverGreen International’s customer base intangible using a percentage of the gross margin of ForeverGreen International.  We will amortize the customer base over a period of ten years.  The amortization for 2012 and 2011 was $85,590 and $92,489, respectively.


We record impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. The company did an annual analysis for the period ended December 31, 2012 and determined no adjustment to long-lived assets was needed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors

ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that 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 ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered accumulated net losses of $35,363,694 and has had negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 of $8,860. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 10. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


As mentioned in Note 13, the accompanying financial statements have been restated for the correction of errors relating to the Company’s understatement of revenues, accounts receivable and an overstatement of prepaid expenses during 2012.

FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012 and 2011


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Organization


The Company was incorporated on March 18, 1999 in the state of Nevada. On November 30, 1999, Whole Living, Inc. acquired the assets, leases, product line and name of Brain Garden, L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company engaged in the marketing and distribution of various natural food products, oils and bath salts. The Company maintained its headquarters in Provo, Utah.


On November 30, 1999, the Company acquired many of the assets, lease obligations and much of the product line of Brain Garden. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of a business combination. Intangible assets such as distributor down lines, customer lists and product name identifications were recorded in the acquisition in the amount of $43,294 and were amortized over 60 months. The Company paid $283,800 for the purchase of Brain Garden assets, and assumed leases in the amount of $14,500. The Company also assumed an operating lease for office space which expired during 1999.


On May 24, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement to merge with Whole Living, Inc. a Nevada Corporation (WLN) which was a non-operating public company with cash of $150,000 and a note receivable of $650,000 from Whole Living, Inc. (Utah) for funds advanced in contemplation of the merger. Pursuant to the merger, WLN issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of the Company for all outstanding stock of the Company. The merger was recorded as a reverse merger, with Whole Living, Inc. (Utah) being the accounting survivor. A reverse merger adjustment was made to the books of the Company to reflect the change in capital to that of WLN. No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded in the reverse acquisition.


In March 2002, the Company incorporated Brain Garden, LLC. as a wholly owned subsidiary.


On January 13, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement whereby it exchanged 1,266,667 shares of its post-reverse split common stock for a 23% interest in ForeverGreen International, LLC. a privately held company. This acquisition is accounted for on the equity method of accounting. As part of this reorganization the officers and directors of the Company resigned and officers of ForeverGreen International, LLC were appointed as officers of the Company.


ForeverGreen International, LLC was organized on February 19, 2003 in the state of Utah. The Company engages in the marketing and distribution of chocolate and various natural food products, oils and bath salts. In August 2005 the Company introduced FrequenSea, a nutritional beverage which includes marine phytoplankton, which helped the Company to increase sales dramatically. ForeverGreen International, LLC does business under the name of ForeverGreen International, and maintains its headquarters in Orem, Utah.


In conjunction with the January 13, 2006 acquisition the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 15:1 reverse split of its common shares, which was subsequently completed in February, 2006.


The companies operated under common management to distribute the products of both companies jointly as though one company. The combined operation subsequently combined their product lines and created a new unified catalog.


On October 15, 2006, Whole Living, Inc. entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining 77% interest of ForeverGreen International, LLC and to formally merge with Brain Garden Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Whole Living, Inc., to become effective December 31, 2006. They announced they would change the combined company name to ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation. The combined company sells products in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany and currently has plans to expand into other areas of the world. Whole Living, Inc. changed its name to ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation in December 2006.

FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012 and 2011


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED


a. Organization - continued


During the last quarter of 2007, the Company began operations in Mexico. In 2009 the Company introduced a program to make its products available to more international countries. This program is called “the NFR program” NFR means not for resale and supports consumer in many countries to enjoy limited ForeverGreen products for personal use in these countries include Argentina, Austria, Barbados, Bolivia, Chile, China, Curacao Island, Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Greece,

Guam, Hungry, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Ivory Coast, Italy, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Trinidad.


b. Recognition of Revenue

Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are provided. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company’s source of revenue is from the sale of various food and other natural products. The Company recognizes the sale upon shipment of such goods. The Company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects for 30 days after the sale of their product except for a few circumstances. The Company extends this return policy to its distributors for a 30 day period and the consumer has the same return policy in effect against the distributor. Returns are less than 2.5% of sales for both years presented. Revenues are reported net of returns. All conditions of ASC 605-10 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated allowance for returns where material.


c. Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable arise from doing business with third party distributor centers in various locations throughout South America. The accounts receivable are made up of fees owed by the distribution centers to the Company for the right to do business in our name. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts when it is determined that collection amounts owed is unlikely. No allowance has been recorded at December 31, 2012 and 2011, accordingly.


Distributors are required to pay for products prior to shipment. Distributors typically pay for products in cash, by wire transfer or by credit card. Accordingly, the Company seldom carries accounts receivable from distributors that are not distribution centers and any balances carried would be minimal.


d. Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 include the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.


e. Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include convertible debentures, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be anti-dilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 15,411 and 0 such potentially dilutive shares excluded as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

f. Income Taxes


The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.


g. Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


h. Property and Equipment


Expenditures for property and equipment and for renewals and betterments, which extend the originally estimated economic life of assets or convert the assets to a new use, are capitalized at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and other renewals of items are charged to expense. When items are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.


Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciable asset lives range from 3 to 7 years with leasehold improvements being depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the life of the improvements. Depreciation expense for the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is $66,005, and $113,743, respectively.


i. Long-Lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount.  The Company determined no impairment adjustment was needed based on the analysis for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


j. Inventory


Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market and valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists primarily of consumable food products and ingredients. Food products are discarded as they reach the expiration dates, because the food products are made with natural foods containing a minimum of preservatives. Non-food products are reviewed periodically to determine any obsolescence and a reserve is booked when appropriate. The products have expiration dates that range from 3 months on some of the food products to 2 years for non-food products. On December 31, 2012 and 2011 there was an allowance for obsolete inventory in the amount of $45,660 and $27,079, respectively.

FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012 and 2011


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED


k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of convertible notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


l. Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


m. Concentrations


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well-known, quality financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 each. The amounts held for the Company regularly exceed that amount.


The Company has an agreement with one vendor that supplies 100% of a significant ingredient that is included in several top selling products. It could decrease sales significantly if that vendor were to discontinue the supply of this ingredient. There are other providers of that ingredient in the world, however, the Company considers this provider to have the very best quality, which is nutritionally superior to other sources of this ingredient, and has no intention of obtaining it from any other provider.


n. Equity Instruments


The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.


o. Intangible Assets


Intangible assets consist of patent costs, trademark costs and the customer base. Patent costs are costs incurred to develop and file patent applications. Trademark costs are costs incurred to develop and file trademark applications. If the patents or trademarks are approved, the costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of 7 years for patents and 10 years for trademarks. Unsuccessful patent and trademark application costs are expensed at the time the application is denied. Management assesses the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances warrant such a review. In performing this assessment, management considers current market analysis of the technology and future cash flows. The Company recognizes impairment losses when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated from long-lived assets are less than the net carrying amount of intangible assets. No impairment was recognized accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


p.   Deferred Revenue


The Company recognizes revenues upon the shipment of product. As of December 31, 2012, inventory was depleted causing backorders, resulting in $113,085 of deferred revenue ($-0- as of December 31, 2011).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED


q.  Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional currency is recorded in various currencies, corresponding to the various foreign subsidiaries and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Matters – Foreign Currency Transactions”. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive loss.


r.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2011, the FASB clarified ASC 350-20 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in ASC 350-20 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 2 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is recognized over the estimated lives of the property and equipment. Depreciation expense was $66,005 and $113,743 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 3 – ACCRUED EXPENSES


The Company recognizes revenues and expenses of those revenues upon the shipment of product. At year-end, inventory was depleted causing backorders.  The Company pays its monthly commission to our distributors on the 10th of the following month. Due to year-end sales being on back order, the commissions paid to distributors were classified as prepaid expenses instead distributor liabilities.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS – CONTINUED


The Customer base intangible was calculated using a percentage of the gross margin of ForeverGreen International LLC.  The Company is amortizing the customer base over a period of ten years.  The 23% ownership in ForeverGreen International LLC, for the year resulted in an entry to other expense in the amount of $53,933.  The Company obtained an independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to identifiable intangible assets, and the useful lives of those assets.  The useful life of an intangible asset that is being amortized is evaluated each reporting period as to whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, intangible assets tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount of the intangible asset. See Note 1 (o) above for gross book value, accumulated amortization and net book value of the customer base intangible asset. No impairment was recorded as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 9 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES


The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s predecessor operated as entity exempt from Federal and State income taxes.

NOTE 9 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED


ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2012. Factors considered in this assessment include recent and expected future earnings and the Company’s liquidity and equity positions. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against the entire amount of its net deferred income tax asset.


As of December 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $27,489,636. These carry forwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and begin to expire in 2019. The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carry forwards can be utilized and may be significantly limited based on ownership changes as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.


Under FASB ASC 740-10-05-6, tax benefits are recognized only for the tax positions that are more likely than not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the company's tax return that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.


The Company had no liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has recorded no additional interest or penalties.


The Company's policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits with the income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, the Company did not recognized any interest or penalties in its Statement of Operations, nor did it have any accrued interest or penalties relating to unrecognized benefits.


The tax years 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has a working capital deficit of $4,948,132 a net loss of $790,199 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and accumulated deficit of $35,363,694 at December 31, 2012, negative cash flows from operations, and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties.  These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans to address and alleviate these concerns are as follows:  


The Company is reviewing the cost structure and has implemented cost saving measures that have begun to reduce overhead which have included staff reductions and salary adjustments. The Company is negotiating with its key vendors and is gaining cooperation and concessions. The Company has introduced our own in house logistic, sales and distributor software system that will reduce computer costs going forward. New products have been and will continue to be introduced to bolster Distributor recruiting and sales, and management will make improvements to the marketing plan to enhance the success that is developed. The Company intends to seek debt and equity financing as necessary.


NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


We have evaluated events occurring after the date of our accompanying balance sheets through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  Other than the events described below, we did not identify any material subsequent events requiring adjustment to our accompanying condensed financial statements.


On January 11, 2013, the Company entered into a convertible note payable of $25,000, drawn against the $200,000 line of credit discussed in Note 4.  This agreement has the option to convert any part of this loan into the Company’s restricted common stock at a conversion rate of $0.08 per share.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


On June 13, 2012, Environmental Research Center, a non-profit corporation, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation and ForeverGreen International, LLC.  ForeverGreen Worldwide received service of the complaint on July 29, 2012.  The complaint alleges that the Company failed to provide health hazard warnings related to lead to consumers of its products in California.  Environmental Research Center is seeking injunctive relief, an order compelling the Company to provide the health hazard warnings to past consumers and unspecified civil penalties.  The Complaint contains two alleged causes of action. Both allege violations of Health and Safety Code §25249.5 and seek injunctive relief as well as damages of $2,500 per day for each violation alleged. The Company has engaged legal counsel to vigorously defend against these allegations.


NOTE 13—RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


During the preparation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 the Company determined that we had understated revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  As a result, the Company overstated net loss by $94,659 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Revenues increased by $94,659, accounts receivable increased by $143,064, and prepaid expenses decreased by $48,405.  Accordingly, we are restating the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the proper revenues and related adjustments.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer who also acts as our principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  During the year ended December 31, 2012 we were unable to timely file our December 31, 2011 annual report.  Management instigated controls and procedures to insure our reports are filed timely. In May 2013 the Company determined that we needed to restate our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 because we had understated revenue for the fiscal year 2012.  


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.   Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The policies and procedures include:

maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of  assets,

reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with  generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and

reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.


For the year ended December 31, 2012, our management has relied on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based upon that framework management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the period covered by this report.


Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting


Our management determined that there were changes made in the implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.  Due to the departure of our former Chief Financial Officer in October 2012 specific areas of ineffectiveness occurred during the fourth quarter of 2012, including:


·

Appropriate accounting system maintenance control was found to be lacking.

·

Appropriate vendor payable and expenditure control was found to be lacking.




29




·

Appropriate communications between departments was found to be lacking.

In response to this evaluation, management has taken action to institute new internal controls for subsequent reporting periods.
