INFRINGEMENT
On October 13, 2009, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) issued U.S. Patent No. 7,601,858, titled "Method of Processing Ethanol Byproducts and Related Subsystems (the 858 Patent) to GS CleanTech Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenShift Corporation. On October 27, 2009, the PTO issued U.S. Patent No. 7,608,729, titled "Method of Freeing the Bound Oil Present in Whole Stillage and Thin Stillage (the 729 Patent) to GS CleanTech. Both the 858 Patent and the 729 Patent relate to the Companys corn oil extraction technologies.
On October 13, 2009, GS CleanTech filed a legal action in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York captioned GS CleanTech Corporation v. GEA Westfalia Separator, Inc.; and DOES 1-20, alleging infringement of the 858 Patent ("New York I Action"). On October 13, 2009, GS CleanTech filed a Motion to Dismiss with the same court relative to a separate complaint filed previously by Westfalia captioned GEA Westfalia Separator, Inc. v. GreenShift Corporation that alleged (1) false advertising in violation of the Lanham Act § 43(a); (2) deceptive trade practices and false advertising in violation of New York General Business Law §§ 349, 350 and 350-a; and (3) common law unfair competition ("New York II Action"). On October 13, 2009, Westfalia filed its First Amended Complaint in the New York II Action to include as a plaintiff, ethanol production company Ace Ethanol, LLC , and to add claims seeking a declaratory judgment of invalidity and non-infringement of the 858 Patent. On October 13, 2009, ICM, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Kansas in the matter captioned ICM, Inc. v. GS CleanTech Corporation and GreenShift Corporation, alleging unfair competition, interference with existing and prospective business and contractual relationships, and deceptive trade practices and also seeking a declaratory judgment of invalidity and non-infringement of the 858 Patent.
On October 15, 2009, in the New York I Action, GS CleanTech filed a Notice of Filing First Amended Complaint for infringement of the 858 Patent, along with a copy of the First Amended Complaint, which added ICM, Ace Ethanol, Lifeline Foods LLC and ten additional DOES as defendants in the New York I Action. On October 23, 2009, GS CleanTech's First Amended Complaint in the New York I Action was entered by the court. On November 5, 2009, in ICMs Kansas lawsuit, GS CleanTech filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to transfer the Kansas case to New York for inclusion in the New York I Action. Also on November 5, 2009, in ICMs Kansas lawsuit, ICM filed a motion to enjoin CleanTech and GreenShift from prosecuting the claims against ICM in the New York I Action.
During February 2010, GS CleanTech commenced a legal action in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana captioned GS CleanTech Corporation v. Cardinal Ethanol, LLC, and a separate legal action in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois captioned GS CleanTech Corporation v. Big River Resources Galva, LLC and Big River Resources West Burlington, LLC. ICM sold Cardinal and Big River the equipment that each of Cardinal and Big River have used and are using to infringe the 858 Patent as alleged by GS CleanTech. ICM has assumed the defense of each of the above matters.
During May 2010, GS CleanTech commenced the following additional actions: GS CleanTech Corporation v. Lincolnland Agri-Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois; GS CleanTech Corporation v. Al-Corn Clean Fuel, LLC; Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company, LLLP; Heartland Corn Products, LLC and Bushmills Ethanol, Inc., in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota; GS CleanTech Corporation v. United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC, in the United States District Court, Western District of Wisconsin; GS CleanTech Corporation v. Iroquois BioEnergy Company, LLC, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Indiana; GS CleanTech Corporation v. Blue Flint Ethanol, LLC, in the United States District Court, District of North Dakota; and, GS CleanTech Corporation v. Lincolnway Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Iowa.
On May 6, 2010, GreenShift submitted a "Motion to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 for Consolidated Pretrial Proceedings" to the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "Panel") located in Washington, D.C. In this motion, GreenShift moved the Panel to transfer and consolidate all pending suits involving infringement of GreenShifts patents to one federal court for orderly and efficient review of all pre-trial matters. On August 6, 2010, the Panel ordered the consolidation and transfer of all pending suits in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana for pretrial proceedings (the "MDL Case").
On July 14, 2010, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Adkins Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois alleging infringement of the 858 Patent. On August 4, 2010, Adkins filed an answer to the complaint and included counterclaims seeking a declaratory judgment that Adkins does not infringe the '858 Patent and that the '858 Patent is invalid, and also alleging breach of contract. On November 30, 2010, the Adkins action was transferred to the MDL Case.
On October 14, 2010, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Flottweg Separation Technology, Inc. and Flottweg AG, in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut alleging infringement of the 858 Patent. On November 15, 2010, GS CleanTech filed an amended complaint alleging that Flottweg Separation Technology, Inc., has infringed the 858 Patent. On November 15, 2010, the Flottweg action was transferred to the MDL Case.
As part of the MDL Case, on November 15, 2010, GS CleanTech amended its complaint filed in the New York I Action to include a claim of patent infringement personally against the founder, CEO and President of ICM, and ICM amended its complaint filed in the Kansas action to include a claim seeking a declaratory judgment that the '858 Patent is unenforceable. On November 30, 2010, in the MDL Case, GS CleanTech filed a motion to dismiss ICM's amended complaint (including its claim seeking a declaratory judgment that the '858 Patent is unenforceable) or, in the alternative, to transfer the Kansas case to New York for inclusion in the New York I Action. ICM has opposed the motion to dismiss. On December 10, 2010, in the MDL Case, GS CleanTech filed motions to strike the affirmative defenses that the '858 Patent is unenforceable asserted by Cardinal Ethanol, LLC; Big River Resources Galva, LLC; and Big River Resources West Burlington, LLC; and Lincolnland Agri-Energy, LLC. Each defendant has opposed the respective motion to strike. On February 14, 2011, GS CleanTech notified the court in the MDL Case that it will not be proceeding with a motion for preliminary injunction. On February 24, 2011, in the MDL Case, in connection with its breach of contract counterclaim against GreenShift Corporation, Adkins Ethanol, LLC filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings or in the alternative partial summary judgment on the issue of liability on the issue of breach of contract and partial summary judgment on the issue of damages. On March 24, 2011, GreenShift filed an opposition to Adkins motion.
All of the parties in the MDL Action filed their respective briefs with the Court in connection with proposed claim construction for certain claim limitations in the '858 Patent. A hearing on the claim construction matter was then held by the Court in the MDL Action on August 22, 2011. On September 29, 2011, the Court issued its ruling with respect to claim construction.
On December 2, 2011, the Court clarified its earlier claim construction order. On February 6, 2012, the Court granted the Companys motion to amend its various complaints to include the recently issued U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,516 (the 516 Patent). On February 27, 2012, the Company filed amended complaints alleging that the Defendants infringed the 516 Patent.
On May 23, 2012, several defendants filed motions for summary judgment of noninfringement. The Company filed oppositions against the defendants motions for summary judgment of noninfringement on July 25, 2012, and July 30, 2012, and filed its own motions for summary judgment of infringement on September 14, 2012. On June 20, 2012, the Company dismissed with prejudice all claims asserted against Amaizing Energy Atlantic, LLC; Amaizing Energy Cooperative; Amaizing Energy Denison, LLC Amaizing Energy Holding Company pursuant to a settlement agreement. The Court approved this dismissal on August 1, 2012.
On August 6, 2012, the Court granted the Companys motion to amend its various complaints to include the recently issued U.S. Pat. No. 8,168,037 (the 037 Patent). On August 31 2012, the Company filed amended complaints alleging that certain Defendants infringed the 037 Patent. On November 7, 2012, the Court granted the Companys motion to amend its various complaints to include other patents directed to similar technology. On November 9, 2012, the Company filed amended complaints alleging that the Defendants infringed U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,517 (the 517 Patent) and U.S. Pat. No.8,283,484 (the 484 patent).
On November 19, 2012, the Court denied Adkins Energy, LLCs Motion for judgment on the pleadings or, in the alternative, for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability for breach of contract, and for partial summary judgment on one part of Adkins damages. The Court found that Adkins had not established its substantial performance under the contract or that the Company breached its terms with Adkins.
On January 29, 2013, the Court issued a supplemental order on claim construction. Because this order modified the Courts earlier claim construction, the Court stayed all briefing in the pending summary judgment motions regarding infringement.
On February 12, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment against Adkins counterclaims of breach of contract (and related defenses). Adkins filed its opposition on March 22, 2013. On May 21, 2013, the Court denied the Companys motion for summary judgment against Adkins counterclaims of breach of contract (and related defenses).
On February 27, 2013, the Court dismissed a number of unfair competition claims asserted by ICM against the Company, but the Court allowed ICM to proceed with a federal Lanham Act claim against the Company.
On May 8, 2013, the Court issued an order on claim construction for the 037 Patent.
On May 24, 2013, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Pacific Ethanol, Inc., in the United States District Court, Eastern District of California alleging infringement of the 858 Patent. On July 18, 2013, Pacific filed an answer to the complaint and included counterclaims seeking a declaratory judgment that Pacific does not infringe the '858 Patent and that the '858 Patent is invalid and unenforceable. On August 8, 2013, GS CleanTech answered Pacifics counterclaims.
On June 7, 2013, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Guardian Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota alleging infringement of the 858, 516, 517, and 484 Patents.
On July 12, 2013, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Western New York Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, Western District of New York alleging infringement of the 858, 516, 517, and 484 Patents.
On July 19, 2013, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Little Sioux Corn Processors, LLLP, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Iowa alleging infringement of the 858, 516, 517, and 484 Patents.
On August 5, 2013, GS CleanTech commenced an action entitled GS CleanTech Corporation v. Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC, in the United States District Court, Southern District of Iowa alleging infringement of the 858, 516, 517, and 484 Patents.
On July 23, 2013, GS CleanTech filed motions for summary judgment of infringement of the 858, 516, 517, and 484 Patents. Against the following defendants: Ace Ethanol, LLC, Adkins Energy, LLC, Al-Corn Clean Fuel, Big River Resources Galva, LLC, Big River Resources West Burlington, LLC, Blue Flint Ethanol, LLC, Bushmills Ethanol, Inc., Cardinal Ethanol, LLC, Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company, LLLP, Heartland Corn Products, Iroquois Bio-Energy Company, LLC, Lincolnland Agri-Energy, LLC, Lincolnway Energy LLC, and United Wisconsin Grain Producers, LLC.
There have been no other substantive rulings on the merits on any of the actions included in the MDL Case and Management is unable to characterize or evaluate the probability of any outcome at this time. The Company intends to take all necessary steps to bring infringement of its patents to an end, including filing additional lawsuits involving any and all infringing use of the Companys patents. The Company further plans to seek additional relief for instances of willful infringement. The Companys position is that any infringing ethanol producer is liable for any infringing use of the Companys patented technologies beginning on the publication date of the application that led to the 858 Patent.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company is party to the matter entitled JMJ Financial v. GreenShift et. al., an action in which the plaintiff has alleged breach of contract and other causes of action for which the plaintiff seeks damages of about $300,000 plus costs. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. At this stage of the proceedings, we cannot evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in excess of the amounts previously accrued.
The Company is party to the matter entitled Long Side Ventures v. GreenShift et. al., an action in which the plaintiff has alleged breach of contract and other causes of action for which the plaintiff seeks damages of about $250,000 plus costs. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. At this stage of the proceedings, we cannot evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in excess of the amounts previously accrued.
The Company is also involved in various collection matters for which vendors are seeking payment for services rendered and goods provided. The Company and its subsidiaries are party to numerous matters pertaining to outstanding amounts alleged to be due. Management is unable to characterize or evaluate the probability of any outcome at this time.
Under the Companys insurance programs, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposures, as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. There is a $2,500 deductible per occurrence for environmental impairments. Environmental liability insurance is carried with policy limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.
The Company is party to employment agreements with Kevin Kreisler, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Ed Carroll, the Companys President and Chief Financial Officer, David Winsness, the Companys Chief Technology Officer, Greg Barlage, the Companys Chief Operating Officer, and Richard Krablin, the Companys Vice President. Each agreement also included terms for reimbursement of expenses, periodic bonuses, four weeks vacation and participation in any employee benefits provided to all employees of GreenShift Corporation.
The Companys Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. The Companys Bylaws include provisions to indemnify its officers and directors and other persons against expenses (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid for settlement) incurred in connection with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of their serving or having served as officers, directors or in other capacities. The Company does not, however, indemnify them in actions in which it is determined that they have not acted in good faith or have acted unlawfully. The Company is further subject to various indemnification agreements with various parties pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold such parties harmless from and against expenses and costs incurred (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid for settlement) in connection with the provision by such parties of certain financial accommodations to the Company. Such parties indemnified by the Company include YA Global Investments, L.P., YA Corn Oil Systems, LLC, Viridis Capital, LLC, Minority Interest Fund (II), LLC, Acutus Capital, LLC, and various family members of the Companys chairman that have provided the Company with cash investments.

Note 5 - Fair Value Disclosures |
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance supersedes all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company accounted for the convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Companys common shares.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10-55-23A, Scope Application to Certain Non-Financial Assets and Certain Non-Financial Liabilities, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820, which requires additional disclosures about inputs into valuation techniques, disclosures about significant transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2, and disaggregation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 rollforward disclosure.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
The following table presents the embedded derivative, the Companys only financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2013:
The following table reconciles, for the period ended June 30, 2013, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements:
The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a conversion liability for the calculated value. The Company recognizes the initial expense for the conversion liability which is added to the carrying value of the debenture or the liability for preferred stock. The Company also recognizes expense for accretion of the conversion liability to fair value over the term of the note. The Company has adopted ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture and/or convertible preferred share could result in the note principal and/or preferred shares being converted to a variable number of the Companys common shares.
As discussed in Note 6, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, a third party firm performed a valuation of the Companys investment in ZeroPoint due to the restructuring of the investment. The assumptions utilized in the valuation are disclosed in Note 6. The investment is carried at cost in the financial statements. The estimated fair value of the investments based on the valuation is as follows:
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys investments in ZeroPoint are the probability and loss severity of an event in which Material Contributions (as defined in Note 6) are not made in the future. Increases or decreases in those inputs in isolation are likely to result in a lower or higher fair value measurement. In general, a change in the assumption of the probability is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity based on expected Material Contributions.

Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION
We determined our reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280). We evaluate a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. We then evaluate each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, we evaluate those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, we determine if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. We have one operating segment and reporting unit. We operate in one reportable business segment; we provide technologies and related products and services to U.S.-based ethanol producers. We are organized and operated as one business. We exclusively sell our technologies, products and services to ethanol producers that have entered into license agreements with the Company. No sales of any kind occur, and no costs of sales of any kind are incurred, in the absence of a license agreement. A single management team that reports to the chief operating decision maker comprehensively manages the entire business. We do not operate any material separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to our technologies, products and services. The Company does not accumulate discrete financial information according to the nature or structure of any specific technology, product and/or service provided to the Companys licensees. Instead, management reviews its business as a single operating segment, using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate. Discrete financial information is not available by more than one operating segment, and disaggregation of our operating results would be impracticable. |

Note 13 - Related Party Transactions |
Minority Interest Fund (II), LLC (MIF) is party to certain convertible debentures issued by the Company (see Note 9, Debt Obligations, above). The managing member of MIF is a relative of the Companys chairman.
Viridis Capital LLC (Viridis) is party to certain convertible debentures issued by the Company (see Note 9, Debt Obligations, above). The managing member of Viridis is the Companys chairman, Kevin Kreisler.
The Company entered into agreements with MIF and Viridis to amend and restate the terms of the MIF Debenture and Viridis Debenture effective September 30, 2011 to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2013; to eliminate and contribute $502,086 in accrued interest and $1,065,308 of principal; to reduce the applicable interest rate to 6% per annum; to eliminate MIFs and Viridis right to convert amounts due at a discount to the market price of the Companys common stock; and to reverse various non-cash assignments of debt involving related parties (see Note 9, Debt Obligations, above). The restated balances due to MIF and Viridis at September 30, 2011, were $3,017,061 and $237,939, respectively. No interest was payable to either MIF or Viridis after these amendments. In addition, the balances of convertible debt due to Acutus Capital, LLC (Acutus) and family members of the Companys chairman were amended and restated at September 30, 2011, to $1,090,000 and $351,000, respectively, in connection with cash investments previously provided to the Company. The terms of these debentures provide for interest at 6% per annum, a maturity date of June 30, 2013, and the right to convert amounts due into Company common stock at 100% of the market price for the Companys common stock at the time of conversion. MIF received 62,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in partial consideration of the contribution of principal and accrued interest and the various other modified terms of MIFs agreements with the Company. The foregoing debentures are subject to conditions which limit the transfer of shares issued upon conversion to 5% of the average monthly volume for the Companys common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, MIF forgave $5,793 of the amount due from the Company for no additional consideration. During the year ended December 31, 2012, MIF forgave $187,500 of the amount due from the Company for no additional consideration. Also during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Companys chairman waived $145,869 in deferred salaries due from prior years, and various other related party employees waived an aggregate of $637,111 in deferred compensation from prior years.
Between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010, Viridis, MIF, Acutus, and management personnel provided the Company with the cash resources we needed for our overhead needs, including all legal expenses incurred in the prosecution of infringing use of our patented technologies. Viridis is owned by our chairman, MIF is owned by a family member of our chairman, and Acutus is owned by our chairman's attorney. In addition, Viridis has guaranteed all of the Companys debt due to YA Global and all amounts due to Cantrell Winsness Technologies, LLC, in connection with the acquisition by the Companys subsidiary of its patented and patent-pending extraction technologies (see Note 10, Guaranty Agreements, above). The Company has separately agreed to indemnify and hold Viridis and its affiliates harmless from any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by Viridis and its affiliates in connection with its and their various investments with the Company as well as Viridis guarantees of Companys obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company paid an indemnification obligation to Viridis of $450,000, $250,000 of which was paid in the form of a debenture (see Note 9, Debt Obligations, above). These amounts are shown as other expense in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold Viridis harmless from any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by Viridis in connection with its guaranty of the Companys obligations and its investments with the Company.
Effective January 1, 2010, GS CleanTech Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, executed an Amended and Restated Technology Acquisition Agreement (TAA) with Cantrell Winsness Technologies, LLC (CWT), David F. Cantrell, David Winsness, Gregory P. Barlage and John W. Davis (the Sellers) pursuant to which the parties amended and restated the method of calculating the purchase price for the Companys corn oil extraction technology (the Technology). The TAA provides for the payment by the Company of royalties in connection with the Companys corn oil extraction technologies, the reduction of those royalties as the Sellers receive payment, and a mechanism for conversion of accrued or prepaid royalties into Company common stock. To achieve this latter mechanism, the Company agreed to issue to the Sellers a one-time prepayment in the form of 1,000,000 shares of redeemable Series F Preferred Stock (CWT Preferred Shares) with a face value of $10 per preferred share (see Note 11, Shareholders Equity, above). The CWT Preferred Shares are redeemable at face value and a rate equal to the amount royalties paid or prepaid under the TAA. In addition, the Sellers have the right to convert the CWT Preferred Shares to pay or prepay royalties at a rate equal to the cash proceeds received by the Sellers upon sale of the common shares issued upon conversion CWT Preferred Shares. The TAA provides for the payment to the Sellers of an initial royalty fee equal to the lesser of $0.10 per gallon or a percentage of net cash flows, both of which are reduced ratably to $0.025 per gallon upon payment, prepayment or conversion as described above. The Companys obligations under the TAA are guaranteed by Viridis Capital, LLC, which guarantee was subordinated by the Sellers to the rights of YA Global under its guaranty agreement with Viridis Capital (see Note 10, Guaranty Agreement, above).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short term maturities. The carrying values of the Companys long-term debt approximate their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. It was not practical to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt. In order to do so, it would be necessary to obtain an independent valuation of these unique instruments. The cost of that valuation would not be justified in light of the materiality of the instruments to the Company. |

Basic and Diluted Income (loss) Per Share |
BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes its net income or loss per common share under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings per Share, whereby basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive net loss per share excludes potential common shares issuable upon conversion of all derivative securities if the effect is anti-dilutive. Thus, common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, or convertible debentures are excluded from computation of diluted net loss per share, but are included in computation of diluted net income per share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we reported net income and accordingly included potentially dilutive instruments in the fully diluted net income per share calculation. However, during the three months and six ended June 30, 2013, we reported net losses and, in accordance with ASC 260, dilutive instruments were excluded from the net loss per share calculation for such periods. |

Revenue Recognition |
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from licensing of the Companys corn oil extraction technologies when corn oil sales occur. Licensing royalties are recognized as earned by calculating the royalty as a percentage of gross corn oil sales by the ethanol plants. For the purposes of assessing royalties, the sale of corn oil is deemed to occur when shipped, which is when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, and (iv) product delivery has occurred, which is generally upon or after shipment of corn oil by the relevant ethanol producer. The same criteria are utilized in the recognition of non-recurring receipts associated with the Companys licensing activities. Deposits from customers are not recognized as revenues, but as liabilities, until the following conditions are met: revenues are realized when cash or claims to cash (receivable) are received in exchange for goods or services, or when assets received in such exchange are readily convertible to cash or claim to cash, or when such goods or services are transferred. When an income item is earned, the related revenue item is recognized and any deferred revenue is reduced. To the extent revenues are generated from the Companys licensing support services, the Company recognizes such revenues when the services are completed and billed. The Company provides process engineering services on fixed price contracts. These services are generally provided over a short period of less than three months. Revenue from such fixed price contracts is recognized the relevant services are performed. The Company additionally performs under fixed-price contracts involving design, engineering, procurement, installation, and start-up of oil recovery and other production systems. Revenues and fees on these contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, and specifically the efforts-expended percentage-of-completion method using measures such as task duration and completion. The efforts-expended approach is used in situations where it is more representative of progress on a contract than the cost-to-cost or the labor-hours methods. The asset, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. |

REFERENCES TO THE COMPANY
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms we, our, us, GreenShift, or the Company refer to GreenShift Corporation, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The term GreenShift Corporation refers to GreenShift Corporation on a standalone basis only, and not its subsidiaries.
The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities which we control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on a consolidated basis for reporting purposes.
COST METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
The Company accounts for its 10% investment in ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc. (ZeroPoint) under the cost method. Application of this method requires the Company to periodically review these investments in order to determine whether to maintain the current carrying value or to write off some or all of the investments. While the Company uses some objective measurements in its review, the review process involves a number of judgments on the part of the Companys management. These judgments include assessments of the likelihood of ZeroPoint to obtain additional financing, to achieve future milestones, make sales and to compete effectively in its markets. In making these judgments the Company must also attempt to anticipate trends in ZeroPoints industry as well as in the general economy.
In April 2013, the Companys investment in ZeroPoint was restructured in conjunction with a new preferred stock financing (See Note 6, Investment in ZeroPoint CleanTech, below). Based on the terms of the restructuring of the investment, the Company engaged a third party firm to review its investment in ZeroPoint in order to determine whether there was any decline in the fair value of the investment below cost that was other than temporary. The third party firm concluded that the fair value of the investment in ZeroPoint exceeds the carrying value of the investment and the Company has determined that no impairment in the investment has occurred as of June 30, 2013.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Note 3 - Going Concern |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $3,828,107 in cash, and current liabilities exceeded current assets by $40,932,522. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to satisfy our obligations will depend on our success in obtaining financing, our success in developing revenue sources, and our success in negotiating with the creditors. Managements plans to resolve the Companys working capital deficit include increasing revenue. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to eliminate its working capital deficit and that the Companys historical operating losses will not recur. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments which may be required as a result of this uncertainty. |

Note 6 INVESTMENT IN ZEROPOINT CLEANTECH, INC. |
The Company holds a minority investment in ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc. ("ZeroPoint"), a renewable energy technology and project development company. ZeroPoint believes that it has developed a highly efficient biomass gasification process capable of converting biomass into renewable synthesis gas to create carbon-neutral energy. Effective April 4, 2013, the Company and ZeroPoint entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the Company restructured its investment in ZeroPoint. The Company agreed to exchange 113,800 shares of ZeroPoint Series A preferred stock for 113,800 shares of ZeroPoint common stock, plus a 3% promissory note with a principal balance of $2,501,324 (the "ZeroPoint Note"). The ZeroPoint Note is due and payable upon the completion by the Company of one or more transactions which leads to a successful financing for a project utilizing ZeroPoint technology (a Material Contribution), in which case the ZeroPoint Note shall be payable at a rate equal to 20% of the gross profit produced by any such projects (the Contribution Payments). The ZeroPoint Note may alternatively become due and payable upon the completion of an acquisition, merger or other sale involving ZeroPoint stock in which the valuation ascribed to ZeroPoint stock is in excess of $75,000,000. In any such event, the ZeroPoint Note shall be payable to the extent that the value of any such transaction exceeds $75,000,000. ZeroPoint shall have no obligation to repay the ZeroPoint Note in the event that none of the foregoing transactions have been completed within three years of the issuance date of the ZeroPoint Note. The Company accounts for its investment in ZeroPoint under the cost method. Application of this method requires the Company to periodically review these investments in order to determine whether to maintain the current carrying value or to write off some or all of the investment. While the Company uses some objective measurements in its review, the review process involves a number of judgments on the part of the Companys management. These judgments include assessments of the likelihood of ZeroPoint to obtain additional financing, to achieve future milestones, make sales and to compete effectively in its markets. In making these judgments the Company must also attempt to anticipate trends in ZeroPoints industry as well as in the general economy. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company engaged a third party firm to review its investment in ZeroPoint in order to determine whether there was any decline in the fair value of the investment below cost that was other than temporary. On April 4, 2013, after the restructuring of the investment, the Company now holds an investment in 113,800 shares of common stock of ZeroPoint and the ZeroPoint Note. The third party firm performed valuation procedures to determine the fair value of both the common stock and ZeroPoint Note. The valuation of the ZeroPoint Note was based on managements projections related to expected Material Contributions to ZeroPoint within the three year term of the note. Management has projected that the Company will provide Material Contributions within the three year period that will result in Contribution Payments based on gross profits that will result in principal repayments to fully recover the principal of the ZeroPoint Note. A discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected Contribution Payments was performed to determine the present value of the ZeroPoint Note. To determine the fair value of the Companys investment in common stock, the third party firm first estimated the enterprise value of ZeroPoint by utilization of both an income approach (under a discounted cash flow method), and a market approach (by comparison to comparable public companies and acquisition transactions in similar industries). The determined equity value of ZeroPoint was then allocated to the different security classes utilizing a Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions: security price estimated equity value of ZeroPoint as determined; exercise price liquidity preferences of each class; life three years; volatility 72%; dividend rate none; risk-free rate 0.33%.
The third party firm concluded that the fair value of the Companys investment in ZeroPoint exceeds the carrying value of the investment and the Company has determined that no impairment in the investment has occurred as of June 30, 2013. The Company will continue to periodically review these investments on a non-recurring basis based on any impairment indicators in order to determine whether to maintain the current carrying value or to record impairment of some or all of the investment. |

SEGMENT INFORMATION
We determined our reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280). We evaluate a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. We then evaluate each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, we evaluate those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, we determine if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. We have one operating segment and reporting unit. We operate in one reportable business segment; we provide technologies and related products and services to U.S.-based ethanol producers. We are organized and operated as one business. We exclusively sell our technologies, products and services to ethanol producers that have entered into license agreements with the Company. No sales of any kind occur, and no costs of sales of any kind are incurred, in the absence of a license agreement. A single management team that reports to the chief operating decision maker comprehensively manages the entire business. We do not operate any material separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to our technologies, products and services. The Company does not accumulate discrete financial information according to the nature or structure of any specific technology, product and/or service provided to the Companys licensees. Instead, management reviews its business as a single operating segment, using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate. Discrete financial information is not available by more than one operating segment, and disaggregation of our operating results would be impracticable.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from licensing of the Companys corn oil extraction technologies when corn oil sales occur. Licensing royalties are recognized as earned by calculating the royalty as a percentage of gross corn oil sales by the ethanol plants. For the purposes of assessing royalties, the sale of corn oil is deemed to occur when shipped, which is when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, and (iv) product delivery has occurred, which is generally upon or after shipment of corn oil by the relevant ethanol producer. The same criteria are utilized in the recognition of non-recurring receipts associated with the Companys licensing activities. Deposits from customers are not recognized as revenues, but as liabilities, until the following conditions are met: revenues are realized when cash or claims to cash (receivable) are received in exchange for goods or services, or when assets received in such exchange are readily convertible to cash or claim to cash, or when such goods or services are transferred. When an income item is earned, the related revenue item is recognized and any deferred revenue is reduced. To the extent revenues are generated from the Companys licensing support services, the Company recognizes such revenues when the services are completed and billed. The Company provides process engineering services on fixed price contracts. These services are generally provided over a short period of less than three months. Revenue from such fixed price contracts is recognized the relevant services are performed. The Company additionally performs under fixed-price contracts involving design, engineering, procurement, installation, and start-up of oil recovery and other production systems. Revenues and fees on these contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, and specifically the efforts-expended percentage-of-completion method using measures such as task duration and completion. The efforts-expended approach is used in situations where it is more representative of progress on a contract than the cost-to-cost or the labor-hours methods. The asset, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes its net income or loss per common share under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings per Share, whereby basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive net loss per share excludes potential common shares issuable upon conversion of all derivative securities if the effect is anti-dilutive. Thus, common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, or convertible debentures are excluded from computation of diluted net loss per share, but are included in computation of diluted net income per share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we reported net income and accordingly included potentially dilutive instruments in the fully diluted net income per share calculation. However, during the three months and six ended June 30, 2013, we reported net losses and, in accordance with ASC 260, dilutive instruments were excluded from the net loss per share calculation for such periods.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short term maturities. The carrying values of the Companys long-term debt approximate their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. It was not practical to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt. In order to do so, it would be necessary to obtain an independent valuation of these unique instruments. The cost of that valuation would not be justified in light of the materiality of the instruments to the Company.
