ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Executive Overview


ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation is a holding company which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ForeverGreen International, LLC (“ForeverGreen”).  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 as well as a newly launched Azul.  Azul is a product that not only includes our unique proprietary marine phytoplankton, but it also has high antioxidant properties and micro encapsulated probiotics.  Azul is part of the LegaSea brand line of products and is in a powder form for lighter weight and convenience and it is packaged in environmentally friendly packaging.  


ForeverGreen has simplified our product selection into four brand names:

*

LegaSea brand inlcudes FrequenSea, SecreSea, Zmp400 and now Azul.  All these products have marine phytoplankton as their key ingredient.

*

TRUessence brand includes all our essential oils and personal care products.

*

Brain Garden brand includes Pulse-8, a heart healthy product, Electrifire, Thunder and many other whole food based products.

*

O3WORLD brand line includes our weight management line of products.


ForeverGreen is in the process of improving our compensation plan, which is planned to begin May 1, 2009.  The compensation plan is a “Hybrid” compensation plan using two-leg binary properties that will enhance the synergistic work of our distributors into two-leg organizations.  Instead of having to build three or four legs, as in the older plan, now the plan is a two-leg structure plan.  This compensation plan will pay on a weekly basis the same overall payout of our existing plan but the focus of payout is towards the purchase of product by downline enrolled distributors in ForeverGreen as a distributor.


The new ForeverGreen Money Tree Compensation Plan provides many different ways to earn income for our Members, a Member can earn retail profits for the difference between sales price and the wholesale price of the product. They can earn a commission of 20% Fast start bonus on a new enrollee’s first purchase, as well as a 10% Growth bonus on the Member’s small leg organizations purchases.  Members at the rank of Determined and below can earn from the 2% Enrollers’ bonus pool.  At higher ranks there are other leadership pools.  It also pays a dynamic enroller’s matching bonus on the checks of the enroller’s tree structure based on generations.  The check from the 10% growth bonus for upline enroller in the tree structure within qualified generations of pay based on rank achieved are matched, factored after all payouts have been calculated.


ForeverGreen’s goal continues to be the improvement of people’s lives through “Health, Kindness and Opportunity.”  In addition, our focus is to assist prospective Members in creating a home based business with home business training, mentoring and accountability to promote residual income stream opportunities.  We provide whole food drinks, organic chocolates, weight management products, convenient whole foods for meals and snacks, personal care products and essential oils to our domestic Members and customers with some of the above mentioned products also offered to select international markets as opportunities are created.  We will seek relations with key vendors to continue developing cutting-edge products that are exclusive to our Members at a competitive price.


During the first quarter of 2009 ForeverGreen continued to be active in building sales throughout the world and also working to reduce costs.   The Company had to face the challenge associated with the economic downturn that is affecting the lives of so



9




many.   Total revenues declined during the first quarter of 2009, but the Company has taken steps for necessary cost reductions to bring our business back toward profitability.  The cost reductions include staff reductions, salary reductions, cutting back on unnecessary spending, negotiating with our vendors for more feasible repayment plans and continually looking for new and better, yet more cost effective, ways of doing business.  Our management believes the efforts already made are beginning to establish the foundation for success for the months and years to come.


Our major challenge for the next twelve months will be to increase and sustain our field leadership and momentum along with systems capabilities and logistics centers around the world to keep up with the demand for our products and the business opportunity.  Included in this challenge is the need to support our customers and Member satisfaction at a high level. Overcoming current business challenges will require a motivated and trained field leadership team and additional skilled corporate personnel, and manufacturing and shipping facilities.  Management believes that the new Hybrid compensation plan using two-leg binary properties coupled with the new product, Azul, will be the catalyst to create enthusiasm and growth.  Management will continue to surround themselves with key experienced personnel and vendors while finding and motivating distributor leaders, as well as evaluating expenses related to operating activities, especially production and order fulfillment, in order to make adjustments to improve profitability.


We are expanding our markets and we anticipate expanding our domestic and international logistics centers as necessary.  The rewards may include increased sales and diversified market incomes.  International expansion is very expensive and key Members and vendors are required to experience rapid growth to become profitable in a foreign country.   


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the first quarter of 2009, we were challenged by the continuing downturn in the global economy.  At March 31, 2009, cash increased slightly to $180,636, but we recorded a net loss of $467,517 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  We also had negative working capital of $2,358,468 at March 31, 2009.  Our net loss was minimized through effective management of our resources and cost reductions through financial and operational efficiencies.  However, the losses and negative working capital raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  In this regard, management intends to continue to increase revenues and reduce expenses, improving profitability and the liquidity of ForeverGreen.


During the first quarter of 2009 we relied on our revenues to fund operations along with a line of credit of $100,000 which is secured with the guarantee of two stockholders.  We also borrowed an additional $60,000 each from two directors on January 28, 2009 to increase our working capital needed for operations.  We are currently looking forward to and investing in  ForeverGreen’s launch of the new marine phytoplankton drink, Azul, and the customary increase in sales as a result of our April 2009 leadership convention.  Management will continue to scrutinize expenses related to our operating activities and order fulfillment to determine appropriate actions to take to reduce these costs.


Management anticipates that any cash shortfalls will be covered 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 or to pay for services provided to us.  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 options.  We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, our shareholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.


Commitments and Contingent Liabilities


ForeverGreen has three building leases for office, warehouse and production space in Orem, Utah.  The office lease for $5,784 per month began January 1, 2005 and expires December 31, 2009 with provisions for an automatic five year extension.  The warehouse lease for $7,500 per month began March 1, 2005 and expires February 28, 2010 with provisions for an automatic five year extension.  The production lease for $8,531 per month began September 1, 2006 and expires August 31, 2013 with provisions for an automatic five year extension.  All leases have a provision for an annual increase of 3%.  The buildings ForeverGreen leases are sufficiently large enough to accommodate all of its administrative and warehouse and production needs.  ForeverGreen also leases office space in Singapore on a short-term lease for approximately $4,100 per month ending April 2009.   ForeverGreen has entered into a new agreement at a new location in Singapore beginning May 1, 2009 for approximately $4,000 per month for one year with the option to extend an additional year.  ForeverGreen follows the guidance in the FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-3 and records rent expense using straight-line over the life of each lease.

Rent expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was $109,378 as compared to $112,265 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease is a result of renegotiating with our lessors to stabilize this expense through the current economy.

Our total current liabilities increased by $94,495 to $4,164,340 at March 31, 2009 compared to $4,069,845 at December 31, 2008.  This amount reflects the continued use of a line of credit and bank overdraft, along with accounts payable and notes payable, including the $120,000 increase in short-term notes payable due to additional loans.  We continue to negotiate with our vendors to find ways to meet our obligations while continuing to provide outstanding service to our distributors.

At March 31, 2009 our total assets decreased primarily because we have reduced our inventory levels to more appropriate levels.  The Company is trying to use a “just-in-time” approach for inventory to improve our inventory management and cash utilization and turn inventory into cash.


Our total liabilities increased at March 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.  The increase in the total liabilities was the result of an increased bank overdraft and increases of short-term notes payable of $120,000.


Our source of revenue is from the sale of various food and other natural products and we recognize revenue upon shipment of a sales order.  Sales are net of returns, which have historically been less than 0.2% of sales; however, in the first quarter of 2009 our returns increased significantly as we had high returns due to economic challenges and product dissatisfaction with FORM, an O3WOLD brand product.  Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 decreased in comparison to the three



11




month period ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in sales is the result of the continued slowdown in sales attributable to the economic slowdown that began in the fourth quarter of 2008, which is continuing to grip the United States.  Our annual international convention typically has a significant impact on sales and operating expenses as new products and programs are launched, leadership is recognized and sales incentives are promoted.  In April 2009, the first month of the 2009 second quarter, sales have increased significantly compared to the first quarter monthly periods primarily due to this convention.  Management anticipates that sales will continue to increase over the long term.  


Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of procuring and packaging products, sales commissions paid to our Members, the cost of shipping product to Members, plus credit card sales processing fees.  Cost of sales was approximately 75% of sales for the comparable periods.


Total operating expenses decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in operating expenses is attributable primarily to reductions in general and administrative expense and in salaries and wages related to reductions in personnel and wage adjustments.


Total other expense increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as a result of increased interest expense on loans.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements


None.


Critical Accounting Estimates


We account for our investments in our subsidiary using the purchase method of accounting.  The excess of the consideration paid for a subsidiary over the fair value of acquired tangible assets less the fair value of acquired liabilities is assigned to intangible assets and goodwill.  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.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating fair value to all assets and liabilities acquired; the excess of the price paid over the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities acquired is the implied fair value of goodwill.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable.


ITEM 4T.  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.

Management’s Report on 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). Management determined that there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of our 2009 fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


On April 14, 2009 Wellosophy Corporation, a Florida corporation with its principal place of business in Folsom, California, (“Wellosophy”) filed a civil action against ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation in the United States District Court, for the District of Nevada.  This action is based upon a supply agreement between Wellosophy and ForeverGreen. Wellosophy alleges unfair competition, trademark infringement and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and copyright infringement of the Swell and Pree marks.  Wellosophy seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction against trademark and copyright infringement, along with compensatory and punitive damages and interest, costs and attorneys’ fees.  Our management intends to retain legal counsel to review this matter and prepare a defense.


We are involved in various other disputes and legal claims arising in the normal course of our business.  In the opinion of management any resulting litigation from these disputes will not have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


Factors Affecting Future Performance


Actual costs and revenues could vary from the amounts we expect or budget, possibly materially, and those variations are likely to affect how much additional financing we will need for our operations.  


Management plans to increase sales and decrease expenses where appropriate to improve profitability.  Our future internal cash flows will be dependent on a number of factors, including:

·

The recovery of the United States and the global economy;

·

Our ability to encourage our Members to sponsor new Members and increase their own personal sales;

·

Our ability to promote our product lines with our Members and customers;

·

Our ability to develop successful new exclusive product lines;

·

Our ability to obtain essential oil raw materials for some of our products;

·

Effects of future regulatory changes in the area of direct marketing, if any;

·

Our ability to remain competitive in our domestic and international markets; and

·

Our ability to decrease shipping time and expense.



Our expansion into foreign markets exposes our business to risks related to those economies which may result in loss of revenues.


We have entered into agreements with Members and suppliers in foreign countries and we may establish similar arrangements in other countries in the future.  As a result, our future revenues may be affected by the economies of these countries.  Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, such as, longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory environments, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, potentially adverse recessionary environments and economies outside the United States, and possible political and economic instability.  


Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.


Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our



13




internal control over financial reporting.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.  In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we have engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which has been challenging.  We cannot assure you as to our independent auditors’ conclusions at December 31, 2009 with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  There is a risk that our independent auditors will not be able to conclude at December 31, 2009 that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective as required by Section 404 of the Act.


If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud.
