GREEN AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Green Automotive Company Corporation)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)


1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


We are a corporation originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1996, but re-incorporated in Nevada effective June 3, 2011.  We formerly operated under the name GANAS Corp. (“GANAS”).  Prior to November 2009, GANAS’ objective was to obtain through acquisition and/or merger transactions assets, which could benefit our shareholders.  Effective November 4, 2009, GANAS acquired Go Green USA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company organized on April 28, 2009 (“Go”), in a share exchange transaction pursuant to which newly issued shares of GANAS common stock were issued in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Go (the “Go Merger”).  The Go Merger resulted in GANAS issuing 1,436,202 shares of its common stock with par value $0.001 for each 1% membership interest in Go, following which GANAS changed its name to Green Automotive Company Corporation.  Effective September 30, 2011, we effected a Change of Domicile, re-incorporating in Nevada and simplifying our name to Green Automotive Company, among other things (the “Re-Incorporation”).


We are currently involved in assessing a number of All-Electric and alternate fuel vehicles including an All-Electric Intra-City and Municipal Mass Transit Bus and School Bus, for introduction to the U.S. market, to be manufactured by our subsidiary, Newport Coach Works, Inc.


Liberty Transaction


On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Liberty Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2 Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC (the “LEC Shares”), that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC2 (the “LEC2 Shares”) (collectively the “LEC Securities”) in exchange for the transfer of Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders.  These shares represented approximately 8.19% of our outstanding voting control.  We also issued to Mr. West and Mr. Hobday, the executives of LEC, a total of 300,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the non-competition provisions in their independent contractor agreements.  This transaction closed on July 23, 2012.


Additionally, pursuant to the Liberty Agreement, we issued to GAC Automotive Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“GAC Auto”) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”).  The issuance of the Series B shares to GAC Auto is not part of the purchase price of the LEC Entities and is not compensation to the LEC Entities or LEC Shareholders, but is reserved for issuance to certain entities that LEC and/or LEC2 have been in negotiations with at the time of execution of the Liberty Agreement if those entities and/or assets are purchased by us or our subsidiaries.  The determination as to when and if to transfer the Series B Shares from GAC Auto to a selling party must be approved by our Board of Directors.  To date, all of the Series B Shares are still held by GAC Auto.




11



As a result of the Liberty Transaction, we acquired LEC, a company that designs and develops electric vehicle drive solutions for use in its own converted vehicles and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for incorporation into their production.  LEC’s engineers have invented innovative EV drive train technologies that can be employed in a wide variety of vehicle platforms.  LEC is also involved in a number of advanced research programs for developing next generation electric vehicle (“EV”) solutions.  These programs include the prestigious “Deliver” project where LEC is working together with “tier one” automotive companies to develop a pure electric commercial vehicle, and the “Motore” project in which LEC has partnered with other “tier one” automotive companies and universities to develop a “rare earth” free electric motor technology.  Additionally, LEC has also created after sales support for EV’s, by providing a comprehensive aftermarket maintenance program throughout Europe for electric trucks and cars.


Due to its experience in EV technologies and in servicing EVs, LEC recently re-signed its agreement with, a large U.S. truck manufacturer, for the on-going support of electric vehicles run by its key clients in Europe.  LEC will continue to take care of all warranty support when required by these customers, all of whom run fleets of electric commercial vehicles across Europe.  This truck manufacturer’s customers include major companies such as FedEx, UPS and Veolia, who are using the first “ground up” electric trucks known as the “Modec” that were launched some 4 years ago for the purpose of making pollution free deliveries in urban areas.

On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder, in exchange for the transfer of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock due at the closing of the transaction (the “GACR Closing Shares”), and up to an additional Twenty Two Million (22,000,000) shares of our common stock (the “GACR Additional Shares” and together with the GACR Closing Shares, the “GACR Shares”) to vest as follows:  upon NCWI obtaining bona fide, binding purchase orders, with cash down payment standard in the industry to NCWI, from third party purchasers requiring NCWI to manufacturer Sixty (60) buses with compressed natural gas engines at NCWI’s manufacturing facility (each a “Qualified Purchase Order”) within the first twelve (12) months following the payment of one-half of the initial forecasted funding of $500,000. As discussed below GACR will issue to Mr. Read up to all of the GACR Additional Shares, which shares will either be kept in escrow and distributed, or kept in treasury and issued, to Mr. Read within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter pro rata with the number of Qualified Purchase Orders received by NCWI for the applicable calendar quarter (the “NCWI Transaction”).  The determination as to whether the shares will be issued and held in escrow or kept in treasury will be determined by the Parties in good faith and has not been determined to date. The GACR Shares, if all issued, currently represent approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock.  This transaction closed on October 12, 2012. The shares were not issued to NCWI as of June 30, 2013.


Due to administrative delays combined with the imposed restrictions placed upon our Transfer agent following the TRO the 5,000,000 shares were not issued until July 18, 2013.


Matter of Time Merger


On September 1, 2011, Green Automotive Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Mark E. Crone (“Crone”) and Bosch Equities, L.P. (“Bosch”), under which we purchased 100% of the outstanding equity of Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”), and extinguished a repayment obligation of MOT totalling $6,000, all in exchange for $30,000.


On February 10, 2012, Green Automotive Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”) (the “MOT Agreement”).  Under the MOT Agreement, at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the MOT Agreement, MOT dissolved into and became a part of Green Automotive Company, with Green Automotive Company being the surviving corporation and assuming MOT’s status as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  On December 14, 2012 the transactions contemplated by the MOT Agreement closed (the “Closing”). As a result of the Closing, MOT was merged out of existence and Green Automotive Company became a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Going Green


On January 31, 2013, the Company signed a binding agreement to buy UK-based electric vehicle distributor Going Green Limited (www.goingreen.co.uk). Trading under the brand name, “GoinGreen”, it has sold over 1400 of the highly successful G-Wiz electric vehicles, making it one of Europe’s largest single retailers of electric vehicles.  Going Green Ltd was founded in 2002 and in the early days, set itself the mission to minimize the effects of climate change by encouraging carbon-neutral motoring. The company pioneered electric vehicles in the UK with the G-Wiz, an electric vehicle designed in California and manufactured in India by the Indo-Reva Electric Car Company, making London the capital of the electric vehicle (EV). The deal was completed on April 1, 2013 when 1,562,498 shares of GACR common stock was exchanged for 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Going Green Limited (an England and Wales private limited company). Due to the temporary restraining order (“TRO”) the shares were not released by our transfer agent until June 24, 2013.


2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America.


The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2013 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which our management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of our operating results in future periods.


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.


Principles of Consolidation


The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company does not hold significant variable interests in any variable interest entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


Reverse Merger Accounting


The MOT Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Green Automotive Company was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and MOT was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of Green Automotive Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of Green Automotive Company. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger.


Going Concern


The Company has sustained losses since its inception on April 28, 2009. It has an accumulated deficit of $59,446,920 from inception through June 30, 2013. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

 



13



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with a business entity for the combination of that target company with the Company (see Note 4).

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The assumptions used by management in future estimates could change significantly due to changes in circumstances, including, but not limited to, challenging economic conditions. Accordingly, future estimates may differ significantly.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables, which are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of taxes, allowances for doubtful accounts and prompt payment discounts. Trade receivables do not carry interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible.


Inventories


The Company’s inventories are valued at cost, as determined by the first-in, first out (FIFO) method; in aggregate such valuations are not in excess of market.


Concentrations


The Company currently maintains substantially all of its cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.


Comprehensive Income (Loss)


In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends FASB Codification Topic 220 on comprehensive income disclosures.  The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements, while eliminating the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.  The provisions of ASU 2011-05 were adopted in 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it required only a change in the format of presentation.




14



Property and Equipment


Property and equipment consisting of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the disposition of fixed assets are recorded upon disposal.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.


If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted estimated future cash flows, an impairment review is performed. An impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. There are no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Derivative Instruments


The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income under other income (expense).


The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Refer to note 16 for details.


Fair Value Measurements


ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements ”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, inputs other than level one that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities on markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Refer to note 16 for details.




15



Income Taxes


We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.  We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our "major" tax jurisdictions.  Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2007 through 2012 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2007 through 2012 California Franchise Tax Returns.  However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.


We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.


Revenue Recognition


We recognize revenues related to annual membership income and service of electric vehicles in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition .  Revenue is recognized when we have evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, and when collection is considered to be probable and services are provided. In the event that final acceptance of our product by the customer is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.  In the event we have amounts billed or collected in accordance with contractual terms in advance of when the work is performed we treat these as deferred revenues.  These advance payments primarily relate to the Company's grant project and E-Care membership scheme. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the balance the Company estimates will be earned as revenue during the next fiscal year (see note 9).


Grant Income

Grant income is not recognized until a grant claim has been submitted and approved by Government representatives.


E-tech services

Revenues from consultancy services are recognized only when all services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured.


E-Care services

Revenues from maintenance, repair, and overhaul services are recognized only when all services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured.

Earnings per Common Share


The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including including 555,142 (net of 300,000 forfeit shares) for June 2013 and 500,000 for June 2012 Series A convertible preferred Stock, using the if-converted method, 18,000,000 for June 2013 and 4,000,000 for June 2013 Stock options, using the treasury stock method, and 3,678,138 shares for June 2013 (nil June 2013) for convertible loan notes, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


Share-Based Payment Arrangements


Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expenses resulting from share-based payments are recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.


Reclassifications


Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.




17



In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance allows an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


Other recent pronouncements issued by FASB (including its Emerging Task Force), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.


4. ACQUISITIONS


On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2 Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC Entities in exchange for Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders. The Company valued the common shares at $0.05 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s common stock. At the time these shares represented 8.19% of our outstanding voting control. This transaction closed on July 23, 2012.


Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, we issued to GAC Automotive Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“GAC Auto”) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”). The issuance of the Series B shares to GAC Auto is not part of the purchase price of the LEC Entities and is not compensation to the LEC Entities or LEC Shareholders, but is reserved for issuance to certain entities and/or assets that LEC and/or LEC2 have been in negotiations with at the time of execution of the Agreement if those entities are purchased by us or our subsidiaries. The determination as to when and if to transfer the Series B Shares from GAC Auto to a selling party must be approved by our Board of Directors.


As part of the Agreement, the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted preferred stock to two LEC Directors as a covenant not to compete. The preferred shares are fully forfeitable in the event the Directors terminated their employment before the third year anniversary. Additionally, these preferred shares were valued at $5 per share and were recoded as part of purchase price. The Company valued the preferred shares at $5.00 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s preferred stock.




18



Contemporaneously with the Agreement, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement No 1. (the “Stock Agreement”) with First Market Services, a Nevada corporation (“FMS”), under which we may sell up to One Hundred Twenty Thousand (120,000) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”) with the purchase price of Five Dollars ($5) per share. Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, FMS has the right to purchase the Series A Shares in increments of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) with a minimum purchase of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per month for a minimum of twelve (12) months, with Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) being earmarked for the LEC Entities to fund their operations and growth, and Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) being earmarked to fund the costs associated with the Company being a public company.


On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder, in exchange for the transfer of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock (The Company valued the common shares at $0.05 per share based on price paid in similar transactions involving the Company’s common stock) due at the closing of the transaction (the “GACR Closing Shares”), and up to an additional Twenty Two Million (22,000,000) shares of our common stock (the “GACR Additional Shares” and together with the GACR Closing Shares, the “GACR Shares”) to vest as follows:  upon NCWI obtaining bona fide, binding purchase orders, with cash down payment standard in the industry to NCWI, from third party purchasers requiring NCWI to manufacturer Sixty (60) buses with compressed natural gas engines at NCWI’s manufacturing facility (each a “Qualified Purchase Order”) within the first twelve (12) months following the payment of one-half of the initial forecasted funding ($500,000) as discussed below GACR will issue Mr. Read up to all of the GACR Additional Shares, which shares will either be kept in escrow and distributed, or kept in treasury and issued, to Mr. Read within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter pro rata with the number of Qualified Purchase Orders for that quarter.


Qualified Purchase Orders received by NCWI for the applicable calendar quarter. The determination as to whether the shares will be issued and held in escrow or kept in treasury will be determined by the Parties in good faith and has not been determined to date. The GACR Shares, if all issued, would currently represent approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock. This transaction closed on October 12, 2012.


As noted above, we have a financing obligation to NCWI under the NCWI Agreement under which we are agreed to provide up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to NCWI pursuant to the forecasted timeline set forth in Schedule 1.7 of the NCWI Agreement. The total funding is made up of $500,000 as the forecasted requirement for initiating internal combustion engine based bus manufacturing and $500,000 as the forecasted requirement for reaching pre-production stage in electric bus manufacturing. Both parties to the NCWI Agreement agreed that the funding requirements are forecasted amounts which may rise or fall according to business requirements and may be modified by the parties as needed.

The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC Subtopic 805-10, “Business Combinations,” and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The purchase price for the LEC and NCWI Businesses was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions were subject to change within the measurement period. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets, if any, was recorded as goodwill and is generally driven by our expectations of our ability to realize synergies and achieve our strategic growth objectives.


The goodwill recorded in connection with the LEC, NCWI and Going Green acquisitions were $2,233,543, $249,000 and $769,890, respectively, on each transaction acquisition date.


The following are unaudited pro-forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period for the six months ended June, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited).

10. SHARE LIABILITY ON PURCHASE OF NCWI


On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder. As at June 30, 2013 the initial payment of 5 million ordinary shares has not been made.


11. FUNDS RECEIVED FROM FMS NOT CONVERTED INTO PREFERENCE SHARES


During the year 2011 and through December 21, 2011, the Company borrowed a total of $1,139,670 from FMS under the Agreement, all advances were supported individually by a Convertible Preferred Note (“CPN”), the notes bore interest at 18% per annum and were convertible into the Company’s common stock at the rate of $0.05 per share limited to a ceiling of 4.99% of total outstanding shares on date of conversion.


On December 21, 2011, the Company and FMS entered into the Settlement & Conversion Agreement (“SCA”) whereby the parties agreed that FMS should forgive all amounts owed from the Company under the agreement including the accrued interest of $66,280 as documented under the individual CPN for a total of $1,205,950 in consideration the Company issued to FMS 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted no par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“CPS”) (see Note 16). The CPS is convertible into Company’s common stock in accordance with the following formula:


No. of common shares to be issued upon conversion of CPS =


No. of common stock outstanding on date of conversion x 0.000001 x No. of preferred shares being converted.


The Company has received advances during the six months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $785,839. These advances were made directly from the major shareholder. These advances are due upon demand and do not bear any interest. The Company converted $180,188 of the advances in the first quarter of 2013 to 21,841 shares of the Company’s preferred stock at $8.25 per share. At June 30, 2013 $725,753 had not been converted into preferred shares.

23



13. SUMS DUE TO GLOBAL TRADE FINANCE

The facility was to be due January 1, 2013, or up to twenty four months if demand for repayment is not made, however, effective June 30, 2012, the $79,000 was converted into 1,500,000 shares of Green Auto common stock.

15. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


On May 30, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, participants, including both employees and nonemployees of the Company, have the opportunity to acquire common units of the Company. For awards made under the Plan, participants purchase common units at the time the award is made at (i) a stated value, or (ii) a percentage that is not less than 50% of the current fair market value of the stock. Award agreements with employees have a term of ten years and typically have a graded vesting terms over five years. If a participant ceases to be employed with the Company prior to the end of the vesting period, the participant forfeits his/her rights to any unvested units at the date of the termination.




24



There were 4,000,000 unvested stock options as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company granted 18,000,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2012. No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company also did not record any stock option expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.


The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from estimates and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

16. STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT


Convertible Preferred Stock and Derivative Liability


On December 21, 2011, the Company and FMS entered into the Settlement & Conversion Agreement (“SCA”) whereby the parties agreed that FMS should forgive all amounts owed from the Company under the agreement including the accrued interest as documented under the individual convertible promissory notes for a total of $1,205,950 in consideration the Company issued to FMS 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted no par value Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“CPS”).




25



On July 23, 2012 and in relation with the LEC Acquisition (Note 4), the Company issued 300,000 shares of restricted preferred stock to two LEC Directors as a covenant not to compete. The preferred shares are fully forfeitable in the event the Directors terminated their employment or violated the non-compete provision before the third year anniversary. Additionally, these preferred shares were valued at $5 per share and were recorded as part of the purchase price.


On or about September 29, 2012, the Company issued an additional 30,000 CPS to FMS to settle $150,000 of advances owed to FMS (see Note 4) at a conversion rate of $5 per CPS.


On or about December 26, 2012, the Company issued an additional 53,680 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $5 per CPS.


On or about December 26, 2012, the Company issued an additional 12,121 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $8.5 per CPS.


On or about February 15, 2013 FMS converted 62,500 Pref A shares in to 20,437,331 shares of our common stock.


On or about March 6, 2013, the Company issued an additional 21,841 CPS to FMS for cash at a price of $8.5 per CPS in settlement of $180,188 advances from related party.


The CPS is convertible into Company’s common stock in accordance with the following formula:


No. of common shares to be issued upon conversion of CPS =


No. of common stock outstanding on date of conversion x 0.000001 x No. of preferred stock being converted.


Due to their being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion option embedded in the CPS, the conversion feature is classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value.


Pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company initially recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of the CPS on date of issuance and was charged to operations. On June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment based on the fair value of the derivative liability on that date which resulted in a gain of $37,615,110. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with a quoted market price of $0.18, a conversion price of $0.157, expected volatility of 104%, no expected dividends, an expected term of one year and a risk-free interest rate of 0.16%. As of June 30, 2013, the number of common shares that could be potentially issued to settle the conversion of the preferred stock is 304,676,416 common shares.

Common Stock


During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a third party individual purchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $10,000 cash. In addition, third party provided services to the Company valued at $40,000 based on market prices of those services.


On January 1, 2012 the Company made and entered into a credit facility with Global Trade Finance (“GTF”) to provide credit up to $250,000. The Company had drawn down $79,000 of the facility through the second quarter of 2012. The effective rate of interest is 8% on the facility, and the facility was to be secured by 5,000,000 shares of Green Auto common stock, and the advances made to the Company under the credit facility were not reduced to Convertible Notes. The facility was to be due January 1, 2013, or up to twenty four months if demand for repayment is not made, however, effective June 30, 2012, the $79,000 was converted into 1,500,000 shares of Green Auto common stock. The Company recorded $4,000 loss on settlement of debt. The Company has borrowed another $25,000 on this facility that it still owes under the same terms listed above.


On January 27, 2012, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its common stock for the settlement of $430,689 of payables due to related parties.


On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2, Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC (the “LEC Shares”), and LEC owns 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC2 (the “LEC2 Shares”) (collectively the “LEC Securities”) in exchange for the transfer of Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders.  These shares represent approximately Ten percent (10%) of our outstanding voting control.  This transaction closed on July 23, 2012.


On or about November 13, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 1,004,180 shares of our common stock to four non-affiliate investors in exchange for $211,240 owed by Liberty under debt instruments. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was either accredited or sophisticated and familiar with our operations.


On or about November 13, 2012, we issued 300,000 shares of our common stock to one non-affiliate investor in exchange for $47,038 owed by Liberty for services performed. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was either accredited or sophisticated and familiar with our operations.




27



On or about February 15, 2013 FMS converted 62,500 Preferred A shares in to 20,437,331 shares of our common stock. On or about February 15, 2013, we issued 375,000 shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital Group LLC worth $150,000 as part of the Kodiak Funding Agreement. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was either accredited or sophisticated and familiar with our operations.


On or about February 15, 2013, we issued 160,715 shares of our common stock to Colin Manners (part of Kodiak Capital Group LLC) worth $64,286 as part of the Kodiak Funding Agreement. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was either accredited or sophisticated and familiar with our operations.


On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into a funding agreement for up to $3 million with Kodiak Capital Group LLC , a Newport Beach-based institutional investor. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the shares that may be issued to Kodiak under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement. After the SEC has declared the registration statement related to the transaction effective, the Company has the right at its sole discretion over a period of one year to sell up $3 million of its common stock to Kodiak under the terms set forth in the agreement. Proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund the Company’s business development and for general corporate purposes.


On or about April 1, 2013 the Company issued 1,712,999 shares to the owners of Going Green Limited (a UK company) to acquire 100% of the business. Due to the TRO the shares were not released by our transfer agent until 24th June 2013.

On or about May 9, 2013 the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock each to Gary Spaniak Sr and Ron Davis to compensate them for Liberty Electric Cars Limited withdrawing from the Merger with ELCR in order to be acquired by GACR.


17. INCOME TAXES


Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar California rules place a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership).  Transactions such as planned future sales of our common stock may be included in determining such a change in control.  These factors give rise to uncertainty as to whether the net deferred tax assets are realizable.  We have approximately $12,615,000 in NOL at December 31, 2012 that will begin to expire in 2030 for federal and state purposes and could be limited for use under IRC Section 382.  We have recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset balance due because we believe there exists a substantial doubt that we will be able to realize the benefits due to our lack of a history of earnings and due to possible limitations under IRC Section 382.


We file income tax returns in the U.S. with varying statutes of limitations.  Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of our provision for income taxes.  There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and thus no interest or penalties included in the financial statements.

18. CONTINGENCIES


Our predecessor, Go Green USA, LLC (“Go Green”) was a defendant, along with other defendants in a civil action filed in Marshall County, West Virginia by Glen Dale Motor Co. and Tomsic Motor Co, Civil Action no. 11-C-104 H. This undefended and previously unknown action resulted in a default judgment order in the amount of $3,717,615 with interest accruing at 7% per annum from and after February 13, 2012. There is no active effort to enforce this action against Go Green and we believe there are numerous defenses to the asserted judgment and any such enforcement effort. Moreover, the existence of the liability pre-existed our acquisition of Go Green and its existence was not disclosed as a part of the acquisition.


Management has not accrued for this event in the financial statements as its not determinable whether the Company is liable for this as Steve Wells is no longer with the Company. The Company expects that if they are served that the expected loss could be between zero to $3,717,615.


19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On or about July 18, 2013 Carter Read was issued a total of 27 million shares of GACR common stock. 5 million of these shares pertained to the shares owed for the purchase of Newport Coachworks and the remaining 22 million shares was settlement for Mr Read obtaining purchase orders totalling 432 buses.

ITEM 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Forward-Looking Statements


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Green Automotive Company for the period ended June 30, 2013 contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and “Business.” Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this annual report. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.


We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future; however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in this annual report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully obtain financing for product acquisition; changes in product strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental regulations; changes in various tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.


Overview


We are involved in a number of advanced research programs for developing next generation electric vehicle (“EV”) solutions, primarily in the bus, limousine, and large SUV markets.


History and Development of the Company


We are a corporation originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1996, but re-incorporated in Nevada effective June 3, 2011.  We formerly operated under the name GANAS Corp. (“GANAS”).  Prior to November 2009, GANAS’ objective was to obtain through acquisition and/or merger transactions, assets, which could benefit our shareholders.  Effective November 4, 2009, GANAS acquired Go Green USA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company organized on April 28, 2009 (“Go”), in a share exchange transaction pursuant to which newly issued shares of GANAS common stock were issued in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Go (the “Go Merger”).  The Go Merger resulted in GANAS issuing 1,436,202.25 shares of its common stock with par value $0.001 for each 1% membership interest in Go, following which GANAS changed its name to Green Automotive Company Corporation.  Effective September 30, 2011, we effected a Change of Domicile, re-incorporating in Nevada and simplifying our name to Green Automotive Company, among other things (the “Re-Incorporation”).


In August 2009, prior to the Go Merger, Go entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a subsidiary of  Zotye Holding Group, a Chinese automotive manufacturer (collectively, “Zotye”) which, on January 29, 2010, was reduced to a definitive Exclusive Agreement of Distribution and Service between the Issuer and Zotye (the “Zotye Agreement”).  On July 20, 2010, the Zotye Agreement was amended and restated “between the Issuer and Yongkang Titan Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd., a reported subsidiary of Zotye,” and then on December 21, 2010, the Zotye Agreement was further amended and restated between the Issuer and Zhejiang Titan Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd., another reported Zotye subsidiary.


On January 29, 2010, following the execution of the Zotye Agreement we changed our primary SIC Code to 5012 for automobiles.




30



Following the Go Merger, and throughout the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years we devoted all of our resources to the homologation of the all-electric Zotye Sport Utility Vehicle (“SUV”) with the intent to import and distribute the SUV throughout the U.S. pursuant to the Zotye Agreement.  However, after taking several SUV’s through the required tests to comply with the standard safety benchmarks required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) to determine the safety and US marketability of the SUV, we elected to modify our business plan so as to not be dependent upon one supplier, one product and only one segment of the new all-electric automotive industry, and instead to be involved in two areas of the industry: the import, testing and distribution of foreign and domestic manufactured Eco- friendly passenger vehicles (“Passenger Vehicles”), Municipal Transit Buses, School Buses, Limousines, and Airport and Hotel Shuttle Vans (collectively, “Mass-Transit Vehicles”), and the conversion of conventional internal combustion engine driven vehicles into all-electric powered vehicles (“Conversion Vehicles”), with the medium term goal of becoming the first manufacturer of all-electric Mass-Transit Vehicles and  Conversion Vehicles.


On September 1, 2011, Green Automotive Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Mark E. Crone (“Crone”) and Bosch Equities, L.P. (“Bosch”), under which we purchased 100% of the outstanding equity of Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”), and extinguished a repayment obligation of MOT totaling $6,000, all in exchange for $30,000.  A copy of this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.16.


On February 10, 2012, we entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Matter of Time I Co., a Nevada corporation (“MOT”) (the “MOT Agreement”).  Under the MOT Agreement, at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the MOT Agreement, MOT dissolved into and became a part of Green Automotive Company, with Green Automotive Company being the surviving corporation and assuming MOT’s status as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  On December 14, the transactions contemplated by the MOT Agreement closed (the “Closing”).  A copy of the MOT Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5.  As a result of the Closing, MOT was merged out of existence and Green Automotive Company became a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Liberty Agreement”) with Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary LEC 2 Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (“LEC2” and together with LEC, the “LEC Entities”), under which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Automotive Group, Inc. (formerly GAC EV Motors Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“LAG”) agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC (the “LEC Shares”), that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of LEC2 (the “LEC2 Shares”) (collectively the “LEC Securities”) in exchange for the transfer of Thirty Nine Million Seven Hundred Forty Two Thousand One Hundred Seventy Eight (39,742,178) shares of our common stock held by LAG to the LEC Shareholders.  These shares represent approximately 8.19% of our outstanding voting control.  This transaction closed on July 23, 2012.  As a result of this transaction, through LEC, we design and develop electric vehicle drive solutions for use in LEC’s own converted vehicles and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for incorporation into their production, as well as in the aftermarket maintenance market for EV vehicles.




31



On October 12, 2012, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “NCWI Agreement”) with Newport Coachworks, Inc., a California corporation (“NCWI”), under which we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of NCWI (the “NCWI Shares”) from Mr. Carter Read, NCWI’s sole shareholder, in exchange for the transfer of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock due at the closing of the transaction (the “GACR Closing Shares”), and up to an additional Twenty Two Million (22,000,000) shares of our common stock (the “GACR Additional Shares” and together with the GACR Closing Shares, the “GACR Shares”) to vest as follows:  upon NCWI obtaining bona fide, binding purchase orders, with a cash down payment standard in the industry to NCWI, from third party purchasers requiring NCWI to manufacturer Sixty (60) buses with compressed natural gas engines at NCWI’s manufacturing facility (each a “Qualified Purchase Order”) within the first twelve (12) months following the payment of one-half of the initial forecasted funding of $500,000.  As discussed below, GACR will issue Mr. Read up to all of the GACR Additional Shares, which shares will either be kept in escrow and distributed, or kept in treasury and issued, to Mr. Read within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter pro rata with the number of Qualified Purchase Orders received by NCWI for the applicable calendar quarter (the “NCWI Transaction”).  The determination as to whether the shares will be issued and held in escrow or kept in treasury will be determined by the Parties in good faith and has not been determined to date.  The GACR Shares, if all issued, currently represent approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock.  This transaction closed on October 12, 2012.  As a result of this acquisition we are in the business, through NCWI, of bus and limousine manufacturing.


On February 28, 2013, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Going Green Agreement”) with Going Green Ltd., an England corporation (“GG”), under which we and LEC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of GG (the “GG Shares”), in exchange for the transfer of One Million Five Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Four Hundred Ninety Eight (1,562,498) shares of our common stock to the GG Shareholders.  In addition, we agreed to issue two creditors of GG an aggregate of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Five Hundred One (150,501) in full satisfaction of amounts GG owed them.  The total shares issued to the GG Shareholders and the two creditors represented less than 1% of our outstanding voting control.  The shares were issued, and the transaction closed, on June 24, 2013.  There were a total of 15 GG Shareholders and all were non-affiliates except Mr. Andrew Nicholas Hewson, who is a member of our Board of Directors.  Mr. Hewson received 602,486 shares of our common stock in the GG transactions.  As a result of this transaction, through GG, we sell a comprehensive range of electric vehicles, such as the GWiz, import and sell electric vehicles manufactured in other countries, such as the Italian imoving range of pure electric trucks, and sell electric bicycles, scooters and motorcycles.  


Overview of Electric Vehicle Market


The market for electric vehicles is growing rapidly, driven primarily by government incentives and the fuel costs for traditional vehicles.  With most major OEM’s now launching electric vehicles the general consensus is that EV’s will eventually replace traditional fossil fuel vehicles, the only question is “how quickly”. Industry analysts Frost and Sullivan’s research (2010) indicated that circa 20% of the market for EV’s will be satisfied by new entrants rather than traditional automotive OEM’s.  Indeed, Tesla’s rise to market value ($2.3bn based on the sale of just 1,500 cars worldwide in 2011) shows what new entrants can achieve.  Electric cars in all categories are forecasted to reach sales of 3.8m units annually by 2020 (Pike Research 2012), with electric trucks forecasted to reach annual sales of 100,000 units globally (Pike research 2011) (excluding buses and coaches).  The development of infrastructure for charging EV’s lags the introduction of vehicles, and as such, the main initial market will be for EV’s that regularly drive the same or similar routes (delivery vehicles, school buses, shuttle buses etc.).  These vehicles, which return to base regularly, and can therefore be charged easily, represent the vanguard of EV adoption.  As infrastructure for charging becomes better and more readily available, coupled with a reduction in component costs driven by volume growth and technology development, then adoption by the public for personal use should increase. The market features two types of products: “ground up” electric vehicles (Renault Zoe, Modec truck, Tesla sports car) and converted product (Smiths Electric Trucks, Azure E Connect).  Converted vehicles are quicker to market and remove the need to design an entire vehicle.  Adoption of EV’s in the business-to-business segment is driven by a number of factors: pollution and emission reduction; lower fuel costs; legislation; incentives; health issues; driver satisfaction; noise reduction and total cost of ownership benefits.

Operating Loss; Net Income (Loss)


We had net loss of $3,001,743 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $413,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  However, this difference was largely a result of non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities primarily related to convertible preferred stock outstanding, and, as a result, our net loss of $3,001,743 is not indicative of the results of our operations for the three month-period and should not be viewed as an indicator of our future results.  Our management believes our operating loss of $512,530 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to our operating loss of $139,119 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, is a more accurate indicator of our current results, and more in line with what management believes future quarters will look like until we are successful in generating revenue from our operations.


Revenue


Our revenue from the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $429,392 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Our revenue was primarily derived from the operations of our subsidiary, Liberty Electric Cars Ltd although Newport Coachworks has now started delivering buses and revenues.  This revenue was the result of bus sales, E-tech consulting work and E-care servicing work.


Cost of Goods Sold


Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $409,165, compared to $0 for the same period in 2012.  Since we did not have any revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, we did not have any cost of goods sold for that period.  The cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily related to the revenues generated from LEC but now also has cost of sales from bus sales by Newport Coachworks.  Our Cost of Goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased as we now have bus cost of goods sold included.




33



General and Administrative Expenses


General and administrative expenses increased by $464,437 to $523,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $59,114 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the inclusion now of expenses related to our Liberty Electric Cars and Going Green subsidiaries.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not have expenses related to Liberty Electric Cars Limited, Newport Coachworks, Inc., and Going Green since we did not own those companies during the three months ended June 30, 2012.


Depreciation and Amortization


Our expenses related to depreciation and amortization were $9,206 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $80,005 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease was attributable to certain assets, mainly the long-lived assets of Green Automotive Company, becoming fully amortized and fully impaired in 2012.


Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability


During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had a change in fair value of derivative liability of ($1,114,759) primarily related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and Liberty’s convertible notes and the change in the fair value of our common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to ($271,124) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, all of which related to change in stock price and thus affect the calculation of the derivative liability.


Stock issued to settle agreements


There were $1,237,200 worth of shares issued for settlement of agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and no shares issued for compensation in the corresponding period last year.


Interest Expense


Interest expense increased to $137,254 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2,757 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  In the three months ended June 30, 2013 our interest expenses includes amortization of debt discount and interest on its notes payable and credit facilities drawn in order to meet its capital and operating requirements.

Operating Loss; Net Income (Loss)


We had net income of $35,080,974 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $620,974 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  However, this difference was largely a result of non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities primarily related to convertible preferred stock outstanding, and, as a result, our net income of $35,080,974 is not indicative of the results of our operations and should not be viewed as an indicator of our future results.  Our management believes our operating loss of $1,094,807 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to our operating loss of $338,735 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, is a more accurate indicator of our current results, and more in line with what management believes our future quarters will look like until we are successful in generating revenue from our operations.


Revenue


Our revenue from the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $647,788 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Our revenue was primarily derived from the operations of our subsidiary, Liberty Electric Cars Ltd although Newport Coachworks has now started delivering buses and revenues during the last three months.  This revenue was the result of bus sales, E-tech consulting work and E-care servicing work.


Cost of Goods Sold


Our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $488,012, compared to $0 for the same period one year ago.  Since we did not have any revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not have any cost of goods sold for that period.  The cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily related to the revenues generated from LEC but now also has cost of sales from bus sales by Newport Coachworks.  Our Cost of Goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased as we now have bus cost of goods sold included.


General and Administrative Expenses


General and administrative expenses increased by $830,974 to $1,009,699 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $178,725 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the inclusion of expenses related to Liberty Electric Cars and Going Green subsidiaries.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not have expenses related to Liberty Electric Cars Limited, Newport Coachworks, Inc., and Going Green since we did not own those companies during the six months ended June 30, 2012.


Stock based compensation


Stock based compensation increased by $214,286 from $nil in the same six month period in 2012. The stock based compensation expense pertained to the Kodiak agreement.


Depreciation and Amortization


Our expenses related to depreciation and amortization were $18,082 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $160,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease was attributable to certain assets, mainly the long-lived assets of Green Automotive Company, becoming fully amortized and fully impaired in 2012.


Stock issued to settle agreement


There were $1,237,200 worth of shares issued for settlement of agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and no shares issued for compensation in the corresponding period last year.


Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability


During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had a change in fair value of derivative liability of $37,616,530, primarily related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and Liberty’s convertible notes and the change in the fair value of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to ($279,103) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, all of which related to change in stock price and thus affect the calculation of the derivative liability.



35




Interest Expense


Interest expense increased to $183,174 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $3,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  In the six months ended June 30, 2013 our interest expenses includes amortization of debt discount and interest on its notes payable and credit facilities drawn in order to meet its capital and operating requirements.


Loss on Conversion of Preferred Shares


During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had loss in conversion of preferred shares of $20,375, due to the conversion of some shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in to shares of our common stock during the quarter, compared to $0 for six months ended June 30, 2012.


Liquidity and Capital Resources for Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012


Introduction


During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows.  Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2013 was $79,418 and our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $60,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as needed basis.  As a result, we have significant short term cash needs.  These needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and the issuance of convertible notes.  We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time.


Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012, respectively, are as follows:

(43,846,630)


Our total assets increased by $1,865,250 as of June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The increase in total assets was primarily attributed to increase in inventory and assets of $357,179 in our Newport Coachworks subsidiary as it ramps up production of buses, and investments in joint ventures of $335,895 related to our investment in Powabyke EV Limited.


Our current liabilities decreased by $43,940,283, as of June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.  A large portion of this decrease was due to a decrease in derivative liability of $45,433,602 between the two periods, which is the result of the mark-to-market adjustments for the convertible instruments.


In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources.  There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.


Cash Requirements


We had cash available as of June 30, 2013 of $79,418 and $87,325 as of December 31, 2012.  Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, around $60,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as needed basis, we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties, and/or raise money from the sales of our securities, to fund operations.

ITEM 3

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


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


ITEM 4

Controls and Procedures


(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2013, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.


(b)

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act). Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material weaknesses listed below.


Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. We internally performed all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. Due to the fact these duties were performed by limited personnel, a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC.


Insufficient corporate governance policies. We have not documented our internal controls.  We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions and accounting provisions.  As a result we may be delayed in our ability to calculate certain accounting provisions.  While we believe these provisions are accounted for correctly in the attached audited financial statements our lack of internal controls could lead to a delay in our reporting obligations.  We were required to provide written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.


Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained.  Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place.  Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures.  This has resulted in inconsistent practices.  Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.




38



Failure to properly account for our revenue and assets.  We do not have formal procedures in place to regularly review our revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.  As a result, in the past, we did not originally correctly record our revenue and test the impairments of long-lived assets, which caused us to have a high number of audit adjustments proposed by our independent auditor.  If we did not adjust these errors based on the proposals by our independent auditor the magnitude of the resulting misstatements in our financial statements could reasonably be expected to have been material.  As a result, we are currently looking to hire additional personnel with U.S. GAAP experience to assist in the preparation of our financial statements.


These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that possibly would not be prevented or detected.


When we are financially able, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies and we intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our next assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.


(c)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


(d)

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1

Legal Proceedings


Our predecessor, Go Green USA, LLC (“Go Green”) was a party defendant, along with other defendants in a civil action filed in Marshall County, West Virginia by Glen Dale Motor Co. and Tomsic Motor Co, Civil Action No. 11-C-104 H.  This undefended and previously unknown action resulted in a default judgment and related judgment order in the amount of $3,717,615 with interest accruing at 7% per annum from and after February 13, 2012.  There is no active effort to enforce this action against Go Green and we believe there are numerous defenses to the asserted judgment and any such enforcement effort.  Moreover, the existence of the liability pre-existed our acquisition of Go Green and its existence was not disclosed as a part of the acquisition. Management has not accrued for this event in the financial statements as its not determinable whether we are liable for this case as Steve Wells is no longer with the company. We expect that if we are properly served and are a proper party to the litigation that the expected loss could be zero to $3,717,615.


On March 22, 2013, we filed an Ex Parte Motion For Temporary Restraining Order against The Barclay Group, one of our shareholders, in the Utah District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah, entitled Green Automotive Company v. The Barclay Group, Inc., et al., Third Judicial District, Salt Lake County, Utah, Case No. 130902103 (the “Utah TRO”) requesting the Court to order GACR’s Transfer Agent to put a Rule 144 Legend on two (2) certificates (representing 1,000,000 shares of GACR Common Stock - the “TBG Shares”) which had been submitted by TBG to MTG Trading (a registered NASD Broker-Dealer) for deposit in “street name” in its brokerage account for future sale into the public market. After a brief hearing on March 22, 2013, the Court, decided there was sufficient evidence presented by GACR to justify a Temporary Restraining Order, and granted GACR's motion.


The following week, on March 27, 2013, the Court held a Hearing with all parties to settle on a form of order for the preliminary injunction requested by GACR, or allow GACR’s Transfer Agent to re-issue the TBG Shares in the name of Cede & Co. (effectively allowing the TBG Shares to be sold as “Free-Trading” shares in the public market).  At the hearing the Court decided to let the Temporary Restraining Order stand, which served to prevent GACR’s transfer agent from re-issuing the TBG Shares “free-trading” in the name of Cede & Co. but left open for additional briefing and consideration the issue of whether the amount of the bond for the injunction should be increased to the difference between the current estimated free market value of the TBG Shares (approximately $250,000) and the value on the day of the Court’s decision. The Court determined that the possible loss to TBG, if it was decided that the TBG Shares should not have been held by GACR’s Transfer Agent and re-legended, was $50,000 and ordered GACR to post a $50,000 bond, which we posted.


On May 9, 2013, the Court issued its Memorandum Decision and Order in favor of GACR request for a Preliminary Injunction to prohibit GACR’s transfer agent from re-issuing TBG Shares without a Rule 144 restrictive legend until such shares were eligible under Rule 144 for the removal of the restrictive legend, which current eligibility is on or about December 24, 2013.  As a result, GACR’s Bond will be canceled.  TBG has the right to appeal the Memorandum Decision and Order.  Additionally, as a result of a subsequent hearing on May 16, 2013, the Court released us from the terms of the Utah TRO which placed restrictions on our ability to issue new shares, so we can now meet pre-TRO agreements and other agreements to which we are a party that require the issuance of shares of our stock.


In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions.  The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.  However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we issued the following unregistered securities:


On February 28, 2013, we entered into an Acquisition and Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Going Green Agreement”) with Going Green Ltd., an England corporation (“GG”), under which we and LEC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of GG (the “GG Shares”), in exchange for the transfer of One Million Five Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Four Hundred Ninety Eight (1,562,498) shares of our common stock to the GG Shareholders.  In addition, we agreed to issue two creditors of GG an aggregate of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Five Hundred One (150,501) in full satisfaction of amounts GG owed them.  The shares were issued, and the transaction closed, on June 24, 2013.  There were a total of 15 GG Shareholders and all were non-affiliates except Mr. Andrew Nicholas Hewson, who is a member of our Board of Directors.  Mr. Hewson received 602,486 shares of our common stock in the GG transactions.  All shares issued to GG shareholders and creditors contained a standard Rule 144 restrictive legend.  The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the investors were either accredited or sophisticated and familiar with our operations.


If our stock is listed on an exchange we will be subject to the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
