FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period ended September   30, 2015 and for all periods presented have been made.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ended December 31, 2015.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations at September 30, 2015 include the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Company formed ForeverGreen Peru S.A.C., a wholly owned subsidiary.


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.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.

FOREVERGREEN WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be anti-dilutive. Our potentially dilutive shares from convertible notes payable in the amount of 4,083,403 were excluded as of September 30, 2015.


Revenue Recognition

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 members for a 30 day period and the consumer has the same return policy in effect against the member. All conditions of ASC 605-10 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated allowance for returns where material.


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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the reserve for obsolete inventory had balances in the amount of $40,000 and $40,000, respectively. This allowance is due to receiving some defective inventory.


Accounts Receivable and Member Advances

Accounts receivable arise from doing business with third party distributor centers in various locations throughout South America and Korea. The accounts receivable are made up of fees 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 September 30, 2015 or at December 31, 2014.


Members are required to pay for products prior to shipment. Members typically pay for products in cash, by wire transfer or by credit card. Accordingly, the Company seldom carries accounts receivable from members that are not distribution centers and any balances carried would be minimal.  As a business growth incentive, the Company advanced $566,008 to new Members to assist them with building their businesses. No allowance has been recorded for uncollectable advances.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued


Valuation of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the carrying values of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. 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’s assessment of events and circumstances indicated that an analysis for impairment of long-lived assets as of September 30, 2015 was not needed.


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 periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.


New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Additionally, this ASU requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments in this ASU eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the guidance in this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) for all entities by one year. As a result, all entities will be required to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the adoption date and impact the guidance in this ASU will have, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued


In June 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this ASU represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the guidance in this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position and cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future earnings or operations.

NOTE 6 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


On August 24, 2015, Pruvit Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division against Axcess Global LLC (Axcess) and ForeverGreen International LLC (ForeverGreen) alleging, among other things, breach of contract and unfair competition.  Both Axcess and ForeverGreen have answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims against Pruvit for, among other things, patent infringement, false advertising, and misappropriation of trade secrets.  Both ForerverGreen and Axcess have claimed injunctive relief as well as damages in an amount to be determined.


NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


In July 2015 the Company launched and pre-sold orders for our newest product, Ketopia.  Due to supply chain issues the product did not arrive to be sold until late September causing a large amount of these pre-sold orders to not be shipped in the third quarter and creating an approximately $1.5 million of the $1.79 million in deferred revenue as of September 30, 2015.  Those orders have since been shipped and the Company will recognize the $1.5 million in revenue in the fourth quarter.

ITEM 2.  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 subsidiaries ForeverGreen International, LLC, Productos Naturales Forevergreen Internacional en Mexico S.A. de C.V., FVGR Colombia S.A.S., 3-101-607360 S.A. (a Costa Rican corporation), ForeverGreen Chile SpA, Forevergreen (Aust & NZ) Pty, Ltd, ForeverGreen Singapore Pte Ltd, ForeverGreen Taiwan, ForeverGreen Japan (KK), ForeverGreen Peru SAC, ForeverGreen (HK) Limited (Hong Kong), ForeverGreen Marketing Corporation (Philippines), FG International LLP (India), Forevergreen Puerto Rico LLC, Forevergreen Dominicana S.R.L. (Dominican Republic), and Forevergreen Peru, SAC.  


We intend to continue our emphasis as a total lifestyle company focused on bringing our domestic and international Members and customers our exclusive FGXpress products, PowerStrips SolarStrips and BeautyStrips and our newly announced Ketopia weight management line for North America. In addition through the Farmers Market, we will continue to share FrequenSea, supplements, whole foods and meal replacement shakes to our Members and customers. In addition, our focus is to assist prospective Members in creating a home-based business with home business training, mentorship and accountability so that they can benefit from the residual income stream opportunities we offer. 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 innovative new products that are exclusive to our Members.


During the third quarter of 2015 the Company experienced exciting updates and international expansion that included:


New Anti-doping Certification for PowerStrips. The Company received an anti-doping certification from the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) for PowerStrips, indicating the product is free of banned substances. This significantly increased ForeverGreen’s target market opening up the world of sports and athletes who are very careful about the products they use on or in their bodies.


ForeverGreen Receives $1 Million of Ketopia Pre-launch Orders in First Twelve Days. Within twelve days of the Ketopia pre-launch, over 7,000 orders were received. ForeverGreen’s Ketopia is a three-product regimen consisting of KetonX, Dough Bites, and FIXX. KetonX is a drink that shifts the body into a state of nutritional ketosis within hours. KetonX is seen as a new growth offering launched first in North America, and then throughout other markets in the fourth quarter. The immediate demand for this product far exceeded company expectations 




11




which caused a delay in product delivery to customers.  The Company has invested a significant amount of time and efforts this quarter ramping up the supply chain to be prepared to supply a much larger quantity of this product.  As a result of the lack of product availability, the Company was unable to deliver all the orders for Ketopia received during the quarter.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has fulfilled all the Ketopia backorders and is currently shipping new orders as received.


Business Expansion in Africa. In the Ivory Coast the Company received a Regulatory License for all ForeverGreen products. Members in Africa are now looking forward to having local pick-up centers and the opportunity to receive their product the same day it is ordered. Launching local pick-up centers and having product registration seriously legitimizes the Company in key African regions.


ForeverGreen Appoints New European President and COO.  In September 2015 ForeverGreen announced the appointment of Tomasz Stanislawski as the President of Europe. Blake Schroeder, the former President, Europe, took on the role of Chief Operating Officer.


The major challenges for ForeverGreen over the next twelve months will be to respond to current economic conditions and to properly manage its systems and logistics centers around the world to support the demand for its products and business opportunity. Included in this challenge is the need to continue to meet a high standard of quality and customer service and maintain the highest levels of Member satisfaction.


Overcoming periodic economic downturns will require skilled personnel and responsive manufacturing and shipping facilities. Management intends to continue ongoing process improvement initiatives, especially in the areas of production and order fulfillment. These new operating efficiencies are targeted to address the current economic environment as well as prepare the Company for the upturn in demand as people continue to look for alternative income opportunities. ForeverGreen is being actively positioned as the company people can align with for the future as traditional employment options.


To keep pace with the market and product growth, ForeverGreen anticipates the need to expand its international logistics centers. The rewards of this strategy include increased sales performance and diversified market incomes. International expansion is very expensive and profitability in a given foreign country depends on key Members who can rapidly ramp up their business growth and volume in the target region.

The Company recognized product revenues of $46,130,346 and shipping and other revenues of $3,754,518, for the nine month period of 2015 compared to product revenues of $38,213,771 and shipping and other revenues of $2,330,715 for the same period of 2014.  The Company recognized product revenues of $14,824,317 and shipping and other revenues of $1,782,590, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to product revenues of $14,875,641, and shipping and other revenues of $1,004,603 for the 2014 third quarter.  


The Company experienced a 23.0% increase in revenues for the 2015 nine month period over the 2014 nine month period and experienced a 4.6% increase in revenues for the 2015 third quarter over the 2014 third quarter. Our source of revenue is from the sale of various foods, other natural products, kits, and freight and handling to deliver products to the Members and customers. This increase in revenues is directly related to the increased number of Members and their business.  We recognize revenue upon shipment of a sales order.


Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of procuring and packaging products, the cost of shipping product to our international subsidiaries, warehouses and to our Members, plus credit card processing fees.  Cost of sales was approximately 24.3% of revenues for the nine month period of 2015 compared to 21.8% of revenues for 2014.  Cost of sales was approximately 23.4% of revenues for the third quarter of 2015 compared to 21.3% of revenues for third quarter of 2014. These increases are primarily attributable to our newest product, Ketopia, as it has a higher product costs, higher shipping costs, and royalty fees.


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.


Sales and marketing expenses for the nine month period of 2015 were 47.9% of revenues compared to 50.9% for the nine month period 2014 and were 47.1% of revenues for the 2015 third quarter compared to 51.7% for 2014 third quarter.  These decreases are due to management being more selective in offering incentives to new Members.


General and administrative expenses for the nine month period of 2015 were 29.9% of revenues compared to 24.8% for the nine month period 2014 and were 31.1% of revenues for the 2015 third quarter compared to 25% for 2014 third quarter.  These increases of $4,854,697 for the nine month period and $1,204,318 for the third quarter are due to management investing heavily in the growth of the Company through the rebranding/image campaign and the global launch convention held in Las Vegas.  Management took the opportunity to upgrade the look of the product line which had accumulated over the last ten years of business.  The new look presents a more modern image




13




which brings consistency across the various FGXpress and Farmers Market products.  This initiative also involved a facelift to the Company’s website.


The total other expense for the nine month period of 2015 was up at .9% of revenues compared to .4% for the same period in 2014.  This increase is due to the write off of expenses from the dissolution of a former entity in India. For the three month period the total other expense was down at .6% of revenues for 2015 compared to .7 % for 2014 third quarter. This decrease is due to lower interest expense in 2015 versus 2014.


The Company experienced a net loss of $371,401 and net income of $203,343 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively and net loss of $1,482,820 and net earnings of $839,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The loss is attributable to the Company’s global launch convention in May, the Company’s rebranding and image campaign, which was revealed at the convention, and the increased costs associated with the fraudulent activity occurring during the second quarter of 2015.

The Company’s total assets increased to $10,442,462 at September 30, 2015 compared to $7,709,633 at December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to increased accounts receivable of $866,799, an increase of $179,688 in restricted cash, an increase of $634,538 in prepaid expenses, and increase of $815,389 in fixed assets, and an increase of $262,977 in inventory.  In 2014 the Company had a 3 day delay of credit card transactions being processed and deposited into our bank. Due to excessive fraudulent customer credit card activity during the second quarter of 2015 the Company was forced to change how credit card transactions were processed to allow for the detection of fraudulent activity before the transactions were finalized.  This increased the 3 day process to 5 to 6 days. Also due to the fraudulent activity our credit card processors increased their reserves to cover their risk.  This increased the amount of our restricted cash.


The Company launched a new product in July called Ketopia.  Orders were presold for the product.  Due to issues with the supply chain in receiving the product from our vendors a large amount of those preorders were on back order and were not shipped until the fourth quarter.  This created a larger than normal deferred revenue amount. Commissions had been paid on these deferred orders during the third quarter and the Company moved those commission expenses into the prepaid expense account for the quarter.  This substantially increased the amount of prepaid expenses for the quarter.   The increase in fixed assets and inventory is a direct result of management’s continued investment in the Company’s future. The remaining change of $72,575 is due to the decrease in other assets due to amortization.




14




 


The Company’s total liabilities at September 30, 2015 were $10,623,055 compared to $8,086,341 at year end 2014. This increase is due to a $1,417,748 increase in accounts payable, a $1,613,453 increase in deferred revenue, a $1,090,000 increase in convertible notes payable. The increase in inventory is due to purchasing inventory to support increasing sales and to support a larger volume of business. As mentioned above, in July the Company launched and pre-sold a new product, Ketopia. Due to supply chain issues we did not receive the product until late in September. This caused the Company to defer the revenue for the orders not shipped during the third quarter and substantially increased the deferred revenue for the quarter.  The remaining change is due to a decrease in accrued expenses as management continues to pay down its payables.


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 Obligations


The Company has an agreement with one vendor, Marine Life Sciences, LLC, that supplies 100% of a the marine phytoplankton included in several top selling products.  If that vendor were to discontinue the supply of this ingredient, our sales could decrease significantly. 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.


As of September 30, 2015 the Company has one note payable of $200,000 that was due on August 31, 2015 and $2,389,234 of other notes payable with due dates of December 31, 2015. Management anticipates it will satisfy these notes payable through increased revenues or negotiation of new payment due dates.


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 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 did an annual analysis for the period ended September 30, 2015 and determined no adjustment to long-lived assets was needed.


The Company adjusts its inventories to lower of cost or market. Additionally we adjust the carrying value of our inventory based on assumptions regarding future demand for our products and market conditions. If future demand and market conditions are less favorable than management’s assumptions, additional inventory write-downs could be required. Likewise, favorable future demand and market conditions could positively impact future operating results if previously written down inventories are sold.


In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and member advances based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is




15




aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us (e.g., bankruptcy filings), the Company records a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due. If circumstances change (e.g., unexpected material adverse changes in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to us or higher than expected customer defaults), the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts could differ from the actual amounts recovered



ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.



ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  


Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our management has determined that there were no changes made in the implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.  



PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
