SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION

Organization and Business
Green Earth Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, GET Well! Inc., formally GET Manufacturing, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), were each formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the state of Delaware.  The Company, markets, sells and distributes environmentally safe lubricants, cleaning products and oil well service products.  The Company’s product line crosses multiple channels including the automotive aftermarket, oil well services, marine and outdoor power small engine and cleaning markets. The Company sells to home centers, mass retail outlets, automotive stores, equipment manufacturers and over the Internet.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed in September 2012 (the “2012 Annual Report”).

Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2012 Annual Report.

Liquidity and Going Concern
Due to the Company’s limited capital, recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and the Company’s limited ability to pay outstanding liabilities, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As reflected in the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities.  The Company also has a working capital deficit.  The Company relies upon cash from financing activities to fund its ongoing operations as it has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities and there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further losses or whether it will ever become profitable.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company plans to increase revenues in order to reduce, or eliminate, its operating losses.  Additionally, the Company will attempt to raise capital from external sources or by selling stock under its agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) in order to enable it to continue to meet its financial obligations until it achieves profitability or generates positive cash flow.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitability or generate positive cash flow or raise additional capital, whether from the sale of equity, debt or convertible securities or otherwise, on favorable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain sufficient financing would have a substantial adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations and financial condition.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Secured Convertible Debentures Conversion Option

The Debentures (as defined in note 8) are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $0.17 per share (the “Conversion Price”).  The conversion feature was bifurcated from the Debenture and accounted for as a derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recognizes their derivative financial instruments as assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measures them at fair value with changes in fair value reflected as current period income or loss. The Company records the conversion feature as a liability based upon its fair value on each reporting date.
 
The table below summarizes the fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities:

Warrant Liability

In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 6,617,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”).  The Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before December 31, 2016 and have an exercise price of $0.21 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

The Warrants provide for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, are issued at less than the Exercise Price. The Company accounts for the Warrants as derivative liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes its derivative financial instruments as assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measures them at fair value with changes in fair value reflected as current period income or loss.

In December 2011, the Company realized gross proceeds of $2,250 from the sale of its 6.0% Secured Convertible Debentures, due December 31, 2014, in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,250 (the “Debentures”) and the Warrants to three accredited investors (the “Investors”).  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Debentures is payable quarterly in arrears in cash or shares of Common Stock at the discretion of the Company.  The entire outstanding principal balance of the Debentures and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon is due upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an “event of default” (as defined in the Debentures) and (ii) December 31, 2014.  The outstanding principal balance of the Debentures and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted at any time at the option of each Investor into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price.  The Company may prepay the Debentures at any time without penalty upon ten business days prior written notice to the Investors provided there is, at that time, an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures.

The Conversion feature provides for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, are issued at less than the Conversion Price.

Secured convertible debentures, net of debt discount, consist of the following:

   
September 30, 
2012
   
June 30,
2012
 
Convertible Debentures
  $ 2,250     $ 2,250  
Debt discount ($2,250)
    (1,625 )     (1,812 )
    $ 625     $ 438  

The Company recorded an immediate loss on the issuance of the Debentures to the fair value of the conversion option and warrants exceeding the carrying value of the Debentures of approximately $1,265 in the statement of operations.  Total debt discount of $2,250 is being amortized over the life of the Debentures and is included in interest expense.

In connection with the issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants, the Company recognized deferred financing costs of $92. These costs are being amortized over the life of the Debentures.  These costs are recognized under prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Debentures are subject to a registration rights agreement and the company has until December 31, 2012 to file.  If the Company does not file by this date, it will be subject to penalties.

STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT

In July 2012, the Company issued 201,000 shares of our common stock to pay the accrued interest from April 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 on the outstanding Debenture.  The fair value of the shares in connection with this transaction totaled $34.

Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”.)  These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview of our Business

We create, develop, market, sell and distribute an array of G-branded, environmentally-friendly, bio-based performance and cleaning products to the automotive aftermarket, outdoor power equipment, well service and marine markets.  Our technology platform for manufacturing proprietary and innovative high performing “green” products whose primary brands, G-OIL® and G-CLEAN®, are the end result of company created or sourced intellectual property. Our ultimate biodegradable “green-base” replaces traditional petroleum and chemical derived bases typically associated with motor oils and other lubricants and cleaning solutions without compromising performance or value.  We believe our products deliver comparable or superior performance at competitive prices, thus giving consumers the ability to “do their part” in protecting the environment without paying more to do so.

We sell the majority of our products directly to retailers and installers as well as through master distribution agreements with wholesalers and contractual arrangements with independent sales and marketing professionals. Our products are available at a number of national retail outlets and chain stores including Walmart, The Home Depot, Menards, ACE Hardware and Canadian Tire Corporation. We are actively pursuing relationships with other wholesalers, retailers and distributors to include additional major national consumer purchase locations in the household goods, automotive aftermarket, outdoor power equipment market, oil and gas market and marine market. Manufactured domestically under supply and requirement contracts, our proprietary environmentally preferred base oils are comprised of fatty acids procured from either plant and vegetable oils or animal fats.

Results of Operations
(All dollar amounts referred to herein are in thousands, except as otherwise indicated.)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Our activities for the three months September 30, 2012 and 2011 included capital origination, product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of our bio-degradable performance and cleaning products, development of mass market product distribution networks for the intended distribution of our products and development of an infrastructure to support the planned business and increasing of revenues.

Our results of operations are as follows:

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $2,081, primarily attributed to sales of G-CLEAN® oil and gas well service products, G-OIL® outdoor power equipment 4-cycle engine oils,   G-OIL® 5W-30 motor oil and G-CLEAN® pressure washing products.  Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $1,841, primarily attributed to sales of G-CLEAN® pressure washing products and G-OIL® 5W-30 motor oil.  The increase in net sales from 2011 to 2012 is a result of sales of the G-CLEAN® oil and gas well service products and G-OIL® outdoor power equipment 4-cycle engine oils, partially offset by a decrease in sales of our G-CLEAN® pressure washing products.  Point of sales data relating to our products (i.e., sales through the retailer’s register) increased in 2012 compared to 2011 at our retail customers reflecting a willingness of consumers to purchase environmentally-friendly G-OIL® and G-CLEAN ® products.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 90% of our sales were from four customers, entities owned or controlled by Francesco Galesi (“Galesi Entities”), TTI (The Home Depot), Menards, Inc, and Walmart.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, approximately 74% of our sales were from two customers, TTI and Ed Maxwell Sales.

Net sales are comprised as follows:

   
Three Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Performance products (oils)
  $ 776     $ 573  
Cleaning products
  $ 1,305     $ 1,268  
Total
  $ 2,081     $ 1,841  

Cost of Sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of sales primarily consists of the cost of obtaining bio-based raw materials, additives, packaging components and fees paid to our affiliates and manufacturers.  Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $1,763, and $1,627, respectively.  The increase in cost of sales from 2012 to 2011 is primarily due to the increase in net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, product development and testing fees, advertising and marketing expenses, public relations, insurance and fees for professional services.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include the following:

   
Three Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Salaries
  $ 246     $ 154  
Selling, marketing, public relations and related
    1,145       1,073  
Development, product release and testing
    106       81  
Management and operating fees
    68       116  
Legal and professional
    164       128  
Occupancy, communications and all other, net
    135       134  
Total selling, general and administrative expenses
  $ 1,864     $ 1,686  
 
 
14

 
 
The increase in salaries is due to an increase in headcount.  The increase in selling, marketing and public relations expenses reflects our decision to redirect dollars to aggressively support retailers who sell the “G” family of products, partially offset by lower sales commissions. The increased spending has resulted in an increase in sales at retail locations in 2012 compared to 2011.  The increase in legal and professional is due to higher consulting fees in connection with government grant efforts and legal patent costs.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $247 and $991, respectively.  The decrease is due to April 2009 stock option grants becoming fully expensed.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $52 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Depreciation charges totaled $5 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and amortization expense for intangible assets totaled $47 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization expense is excluded from cost of sales.

Settlement and legal charges

We recorded a gain on settlement of $0 and $254 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The gain on settlement in 2011 was due to a settlement agreement regarding the payment of legal fees related to litigation that was settled in March 2011.

Change in revaluation of derivatives

As of September 30, 2012 the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities was $1,455, which was favorable in our statement of operations.  The value of the derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes method.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $238 and $3, respectively.  Interest expense consists of $188 in connection with the amortization of the debt discount on our outstanding 6.0% secured convertible debentures due December 31, 2014 (the “Debentures”), $38 in connection with the accrued interest on the outstanding Debentures, $8 in connection with the deferred financing costs relating to the outstanding Debentures and $4 for accrued interest on notes payable to related parties.  Interest income consists of interest earned on bank deposits and an institutional money market fund.

Seasonality
 
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the appearance chemicals and outdoor power equipment markets are inherently seasonal. Seasonality impacts liquidity in that we generally record the majority of our annual retail sales in the quarters ending March and June.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we had $610 and $346 in cash and an accumulated deficit of $69,337 and $68,709, respectively.  At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $9,684 and 9,576, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,616 and $40 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase from 2011 to 2012 was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by payments made to vendors in the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
 
15

 
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,880 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Net cash used in financing activities was $120 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in financing activities is primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of a note payable in the amount of $1,900.  The net proceeds from our financing activities were used to support our expansion, including purchases from suppliers, advertising and increased infrastructure costs.

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.  Our capital requirements are not significant as the majority of our performance and cleaning products are outsourced to third party suppliers.  In the foreseeable future, we will require capital for the growth of our business, including increases in personnel, sales and marketing, and purchasing finished goods to fulfill orders.

Losses from operations are continuing subsequent to September 30, 2012 and we anticipate that we will continue to generate losses from operations in the near future.  Since inception, we have financed our operations by issuing securities (common stock and debt instruments) in various private placement transactions and from revenue generated by sales of our products.

On March 7, 2011, we signed a $15,000 Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), an accredited investor.  At our sole discretion, over a 30-month period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement covering the sale of those shares, which was May 12, 2011, we can sell shares of common stock to LPC in amounts up to $50 per sale, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, up to the aggregate commitment of $15,000.

Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us and as often as every two business days, we may direct LPC to purchase up to $50 worth of our common stock. The purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of:
 
the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; or
 
the average of the three lowest closing sale prices of our common stock during the 12 consecutive business days prior to the date of a purchase by LPC.
 
The purchase price will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute the purchase price.
 
The amount that we may sell to LPC as often as every two business days will increase as follows:  (i) $75 if, on the purchase date, our share price is not below $0.40 per share; (ii) $150 if, on the purchase date, our share price is not below $0.60 per share; (iii) $150 if, on the purchase date, our share price is not below $0.90 per share; (iv) $250 if, on the purchase date, our share price is not below $1.50 per share.  The price at which LPC would purchase these accelerated amounts of our stock will be the lesser of (1) the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date and (2) the lowest purchase price (as described above) during the 10 consecutive business days prior to the purchase date.

During the three months ending September 30, 2012, there were no shares of common stock issued to LPC.  Total shares remaining to be purchased under the agreement are 17,125,000 shares.

In July 2012, we issued 201,000 shares of our restricted common stock to pay the accrued interest on the outstanding Debentures.  The fair value of the shares in connection with this transaction totaled $34.
 
Debentures and Warrants
 
In December 2011, we realized gross proceeds of $2,250 from the sale of the Debentures and warrants to purchase up to 6,617,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) to three accredited investors (the “Investors”) in a private placement transaction.  Interest on the Debentures is payable quarterly in arrears cash or equity at our discretion. The outstanding principal balance of the Debentures and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of each Investor into shares of our common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $0.17 per share. The Debentures are due and payable on December 31, 2014.  We may prepay the Debentures at any time without penalty or premium upon ten business day’s prior written notice to the Investors, provided there is, at that time, an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before December 31, 2016.  The exercise price is $0.21.
 
 
16

 

The Debentures and Warrants also provide for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the conversion or exercise price of the Debentures and Warrants, respectively, except in connection with the following issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible into common stock: (i) shares issuable under currently outstanding securities, including those authorized under stock plans, (ii) securities issuable upon the exchange or exercise of the Debenture or Warrants, or (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions.

In October 2012, we raised $4,000 from the sale of Debentures and issued Warrants to six accredited investors.

Going Concern Consideration

Due to our limited amount of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations and our ability to pay outstanding liabilities, in their report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 our independent auditors stated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that we will continue as a going concern.

Since inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations.  As of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $69,337, with total stockholders’ deficit of $8,854.  We had a working capital deficit of $9,684 at September 30, 2012.

We continue to have discussions regarding an investment in our Company with existing and potential new investors.  Although we do not have any firm commitments, we intend to continue these discussions.  Additionally, we believe revenues will increase as consumers learn of and experience the efficacy of our products.  Increased revenues will reduce, or eliminate our operating losses and enable us to meet our financial obligations. However, there can be no assurances that we can attract new investment, increase revenues or attract new investment on terms acceptable to us.  Failure to obtain sufficient financing would have substantial negative ramifications to our Company.

Contractual Arrangements

Significant contractual obligations as of September 30, 2012 are as follows:

         
Amount Due in
 
Type of Obligation
 
Total Obligation
   
Less than 1 year
 
Facility Lease
  $ 127     $ 84  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and new Accounting Pronouncements
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there have been no new significant accounting policies or accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, of effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”.)  Based on this evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date, to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and can therefore only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in routine litigation incidental to our business.  Further, product liability claims may be asserted in the future relative to events not known to management at the present time.  Management believes that our risk management practices, including our insurance coverage, are reasonably adequate to protect against potential material product liability losses.  We are not a party to any material legal proceeding not in the ordinary course of business at this time.
 
ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS)
 
In July 2012, we issued 201,000 shares of our common stock to pay the accrued interest on the outstanding Debentures with an aggregate fair market value of $34.  The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.  An appropriate restrictive legend was imprinted on the back of each issued stock certificate.
