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 three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 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, 2017 audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ended December 31, 2018.


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, 2018 include the books of ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.


Recognition of Revenue

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company’s sources of revenue are from the sale of various food and other natural product sales and royalties earned. 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. Returns are less than 2.0% of sales for both years presented. Revenues are reported net of returns. All conditions of ASC 606 are met and the revenue is recorded upon sale, with an estimated allowance for returns where material.


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.







6






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.


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.


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. As of September 30, 2018, there were 36,743,423 common stock equivalents from convertible notes that were excluded from the diluted EPS (earnings per share) calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive.


New Accounting Pronouncements

After evaluating the recent accounting pronouncements through the date of this filing, the Company has concluded that application of these pronouncements will have no material impact on the Company’s financial results.

NOTE 6 – 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 $5,511,268 and accumulated deficit of $45,879,348 at September 30, 2018, and has experienced 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 continues to monitor its cost structure and implements cost saving measures deemed to be effective.  The Company has initiated some new marketing initiatives to stimulate growth in its monthly revenues, which combined with some new equity financing is allowing the Company to continue to invest in its expansion plan.  This plan has involved hosting a number of industry leaders who are performing their due diligence on our Company.  Additionally, we expect we will take advantage of some international expansion opportunities.  These expansion opportunities will continue to be evaluated and those which provide the best opportunity for success will be pursued on a priority basis.  New products have been and will continue to be introduced to bolster Member recruiting and sales.  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.

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), FVGR Bolivia S.R.L., ForeverGreen Peru SAC, ForeverGreen (HK) Limited (Hong Kong), Forevergreen Peru, SAC and ForeverGreen Team B.V. (Europe).


During 2017, and through the first six months of 2018, the Company completed its planned consolidation and restructuring of the Company, including reducing overhead costs, streamlining the Company's product offerings, reducing shipping costs, reduction of personnel and consolidating domestic and foreign warehouse and office spaces.  These strategies were directed to reduce overhead and debt, streamline domestic and international operations, improve distribution channels and consolidate the Company's product offerings.  While gross profits increased, we recorded a net loss for 2017, as well as through 2018.  The Company is now seeing the positive impact on the Company's model and its profitability.  As seen on these financial statements, even though the Company is bringing in substantially less revenue compared to the same period last year, the Company is showing a small profit for the quarter.


Four key differentiators separate ForeverGreen from our competitors in the direct sales and traditional consumer spaces.   One is our proprietary marine phytoplankton nutritional component which is sourced through exclusive strategic partnerships in both farming and processing. The second is our patent-pending Aqueous Molecular Partitioning (AMP) technology which renders ingredients water-soluble without the use of chemicals or heat which may compromise the nutritional value or health benefits of many processed foods.  Third is our industry exclusive license agreement to the patented ingredients in KetonX, the flagship product of the Ketopia weight management product line. Fourth is our unique global express model delivery method, enabling the Company to deliver a number of its products to many countries around the world both economically and efficiently.


During the coming year, ForeverGreen intends to empower a health-conscious global community with emphasis on self-care that necessitates mindfulness. To achieve this objective, the Company is strengthening its focus on its domestic and international Membership and consumer base by introducing a new and focused marketing effort on creating “The Total Health Experience”, which revolutionizes how people take care of their health by facilitating the convergence of the Company’s nutraceuticals, advanced technologies and most complete entrepreneurial opportunity.





10






ForeverGreen is dedicated to its Members by continuing to give home business training and mentorship while facilitating accountability so residual income is a reality and is attractive to prospective Members. As our international markets mature, additional ForeverGreen products are expected to 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 with opportunities that include a complete build-out of a Preferred Customer program.


Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to respond to current economic conditions and to properly manage our systems and logistics centers around the world to support the demand for our products and business.

We recognized revenues of $2,295,066 for the third quarter of 2018 compared to revenues of $4,033,766 for the third quarter of 2017. We recognized revenues of $8,236,591 for the first nine months of 2018 compared to $14,914,147 for the first nine months of 2017. Our source of revenues is from the sale of various foods, other natural products, member sign up fees, kits, and freight and handling to deliver products to the members and customers.


The Company experienced a 43% decrease in revenues for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017. The Company experienced 45% decrease in revenues for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the first nine months of 2017. Some of the cost cutting initiatives implemented resulted in a loss of revenues, but the net effect of the changes was to put the Company in a position for improved profitability.  The decrease in revenues relates to a significant decline in the number of Members placing monthly orders due to the consolidation of our international markets and a decrease in new enrolled Members.


Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of procuring and packaging products, shipping product, and credit card sales processing fees.  Cost of sales was approximately 17% of revenues for the third quarter of 2018 compared to




11






22% of revenues for the third quarter of 2017.   Cost of sales was approximately 22% of revenues for the first nine months of 2018 compared to 25% for the first nine months of 2017.  The 2018 decrease is primarily due to increased focus on our envelope products, which have lowered shipping and storage costs.


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.  As the TransArmor technology is implemented in additional products, the Company expects the global express product mix to become a larger part of our total revenues.  With this shift to more envelope products, the Company will be able to deliver those products more inexpensively than a corresponding Farmer’s Market product.  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.


Selling and marketing expenses include sales commissions paid to our Members, special incentives, costs for incentive trips and other rewards incentives.  For the third quarter of 2018 selling and marketing expenses increased to 45% of revenues compared to 43% for the third quarter of 2017. For the first nine months of 2018 selling and marketing expenses decreased to 41% of revenues compared to 42% of revenues in 2017. Selling and marketing expenses are computed from the commission structure for the product sold and the commission tier the member receiving the commission is in.


General and administrative expense (inclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased as a percentage of revenues to 39% in the third quarter of 2018 from 35% in the third quarter of 2017.  General and administrative expenses (inclusive of depreciation and amortization) remained the same as a percentage of revenues at 39% for the first nine months of 2018 from 39% during the same period in 2017.


Total other expenses increased in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017 by $15,621.   The total other expenses increased for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 increased by $162,694. The increase is due to amortization of the debt discounts recorded in interest expense in 2018 compared to 2017 and the costs of converting the debt to equity

Our total assets decreased to $3,315,843 at September 30, 2018 from $3,906,285 at December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a $532,708 decrease in property plant, and equipment due to continued depreciation of those assets, and a $125,918 decrease in inventory to keep inventory supply in line with the lower revenues. Both of these decreases are due to the reduced revenues in 2018.




12







Our total liabilities at September 30, 2018 were $11,503,618 compared to $12,262,348 at December 31, 2017.  The decrease is primarily due to the conversion and extinguishment of convertible notes payable to equity.


At September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $119,766, a working capital deficit of $5,511,268, an accumulated deficit of $45,879,348, and has experienced 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 continues to monitor its cost structure and implements cost saving measures deemed to be effective.  The Company has initiated some new marketing initiatives to stimulate growth in its monthly revenues, which combined with some new financing is allowing the Company to continue to invest in its expansion plan.  This plan has involved hosting a number of industry leaders who are performing their due diligence on our Company.  Additionally, we expect we will take advantage of some international expansion opportunities.  These expansion opportunities will continue to be evaluated and those which provide the best opportunity for success will be pursued on a priority basis.  New products have been and will continue to be introduced to bolster Member recruiting and sales.  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.


Management anticipates that future additional capital needed for cash shortfalls will be provided by either debt or equity financing.  We may pay these loans with cash, if available, or convert these loans into common stock.  Any common stock issuance 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.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $173,515 through September of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.  This increase is due to the increase in software capitalization.


Net cash used in financing activities increased by $699,119 through September of 2018 compared to the same period 2017.  This increase is due to the repayment of notes during 2018.

Commitments and Obligations


The Company has an agreement with one vendor, Marine Life Sciences, LLC, that supplies 100% of 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.  Marine Life Sciences, LLC is 50% owned by a board member.


As of September 30, 2018, the Company has $2,063,186 in debt that will be due in the next twelve months. 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 December 31, 2017 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. We had obsolete and slow-moving inventories which were reserved against in the amount of $40,000 at September 30, 2018.



ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.



ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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.  The disclosure controls and procedures 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 SEC’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our controls were not effective as of September 30, 2018.


The material weaknesses relate to the limited number of persons responsible for the recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of separation of financial reporting duties, and the limited size of our management




14






team in general. We are in the process of evaluating methods of improving our internal control over financial reporting, including the possible addition of financial reporting staff and the increased separation of financial reporting responsibility, and intend to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to correct these material weaknesses.


Notwithstanding this finding of ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, we concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


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, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
