BLUE SPHERE CORP.
(DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of Blue Sphere Corp. and subsidiary ("the Company”). These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited.

NOTE 2    GENERAL
 
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 17, 2007 and was in the business of developing and promoting automotive internet sites. During the second quarter the management of the Company decided to change its business focus to that of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction, The Company seek to generate revenue through sales of carbon credits, energy generation, project development and sale of byproducts.

The Company offers potential partners (owners of: landfills, coal mines, fertilizer factories, etc) a kind of turnkey operation in dealing with the emission reduction. The Company service consists of:  executing the process needed in order to make the project eligible for carbon credits, choosing the most suitable technology to be applied, arranging for the financing, constructing and  managing the project for its life. We operate primarily in countries from the former Soviet Union, China and the USA.
 
NOTE 3    INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the nine months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4    GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $137 thousand in cash, approximately $60 thousand in working capital, a stockholders’ equity of approximately $60 thousand and an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,623 thousand. Management anticipates that their business will require substantial additional investments that have not yet been secured. The Company anticipates that the existing cash will not be sufficient to continue its operations through the next 12 months. Management is continuing in the process of fund raising in the private equity markets as the Company will need to finance future activities and general and administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

NOTE 5    RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. ASU 2009-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, which amends ASC 855 to address certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
NOTE 6    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
On March 3, 2010, the Company entered into employment agreements with Eliezer Weinberg the Company Chairman of the Board, Shlomo Palas the Company’s CEO and Shmuel Keshet the Company’s COO for a term of two years. The officers receive monthly remuneration at a gross rate of USD$10,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
 
As used in this report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Blue Sphere” or the “Company” mean Blue Sphere Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eastern Sphere, Ltd. and Blue Sphere USA, Inc., unless the context otherwise  requires.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, without limitation, (i) uncertainties regarding our ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis including financing for specific projects, (ii) uncertainties regarding the market for and value of carbon credits including carbon credits associated with industrial gases, (iii) political and governmental risks associated with the foreign countries in which we operate, (iv) unanticipated delays associated with project implementation including designing, constructing and equipping projects, as well as delays in obtaining required host country and United Nations approvals, (v) the development stage of our business and (vi) our lack of operating history. Forward looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change.  Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
 
Overview
 
We are a project integrator for greenhouse gas emission reduction and renewable energy production. We aspire to become a key player in the global carbon reduction market, helping enterprises with high pollution emissions achieve their green goals.  Our business is presently primarily focused on countries of the former Soviet Union, China and the United States.  We seek to generate revenue through sales of what are commonly referred to as “carbon credits,” energy generation, project development and sale of byproducts.
 
As a project integrator, we seek to partner with owners of landfills, coal mines, fertilizer factories and other high volume GHG producers to reduce the level of emissions. Our comprehensive service solution consists of managing the entire process of obtaining eligibility for and obtaining carbon credits, selecting the most suitable technology to be applied, arranging project financing, constructing and equipping the project and managing the project for the duration of its revenue-producing life. We are currently focusing on seven projects for which we have signed agreements with the facility owners and which are in various stages of early development. Each of these projects are dependent upon, and will require, an infusion of significant capital, a portion of which, subject to our obtaining additional financing, we anticipate being required to contribute directly.  We anticipate a lead time of at least six to twelve months from funding before any project becomes operational for emissions reduction. Our interest in any particular project will vary depending on a variety of factors.  Set forth below is a list of the seven projects for which signed agreements::

Ukraine
 
Uzbekistan
 
Kazakhstan
 
China
 
· Two landfills
 
 
 
 
· One fertilizer manufacturing plant
 
 
· One landfill and compost facility
 
 
 
· One fertilizer manufacturing plant
 
 
· One landfill
 
 
 
 
· One methane from manure to electricity project
 
 
 
In addition, we are engaged in discussions relating to certain projects in the United States, focusing on methane to electricity and industrial gases projects.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated in Nevada in July 2007 under the name Jin Jie Corp.  Prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 we were engaged in the business of developing and promoting automotive internet websites.  That business generated no revenue and an accumulated deficit of approximately $60,000.  During the second quarter of 2010 we changed our business to our current business. In connection with the change, we took the following actions: (i)  effective February 17, 2010, we changed our name to our current name by merging into our company a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for that purpose (ii) effective February 17, 2010, we effected a 35-for-1 forward split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock, as a result of which our authorized common stock increased from 50,000,000 shares to 1,750,000,000 shares and our outstanding common stock increased from 1,900,000 shares to 66,500,000 shares, (iii) effective February 26, 2010, certain former shareholders of our company sold an aggregate of 34,800,000 shares of our common stock held by them, representing approximately 38% of our then outstanding stock, to new investors for an aggregate purchase price of $34,800 and (iv) effective March 3, 2010, we entered into employment agreements with Shlomo Palas, our CEO, Eliezer Weinberg, our Chairman and Shmuel Keshet, our COO.  Messrs. Palas, Weinberg and Keshet were each granted two-year time-vested stock options to purchase 8,321,917 shares of common stock, representing 9% of our then outstanding shares, at an exercise price of $.001 per share.
 
On April 8, 2010, we appointed Alex Werber as our Chief Financial Officer.  Mr.Werber serves on a part-time basis. On April 15, 2010, Messrs. Palas and Weinberg were elected as members of our board of directors, with Mr. Weinberg being elected as non-executive Chairman.  In April and May 2010, the remaining management and board members of our company prior to the change of business resigned.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenue
 
We have recorded no revenue since inception.
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 were $2,629,000 and $3,554,000, respectively, compared to $2,000 and $10,000 for the respective corresponding periods in 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to non-cash charges totaling $2,338,000 and $3,117,000 for the three and nine month 2010 periods, respectively, for stock options and warrants granted to employees in March 2010, as well as compensation and other expenses associated with the commencement of our GHG emission reduction activities in March 2010.
 
 
9

 
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the above, we incurred a net loss of $2,633,000 and $3,559,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $2,000 and $10,000 for the respective corresponding 2009 periods.  We anticipate losses in future periods.
 
Liquidity
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had cash of $137,000, compared to $12,000 as of September 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, we had a working capital of $60,000, compared to $5,000 as of September 30, 2009. Management anticipates that existing cash resources, including the proceeds of the equity placement subsequent to June 30, 2010 described below will not be sufficient to fund our planned operations during the next 12 months. In addition to requiring capital to fund our corporate activities, the capital needs of our project development activities will be significant and will likely require equity investment on our part. As a result, we are seeking to raise additional funds, any meaningful equity financing will likely result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Recent Financings
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we raised $500,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of 1,000,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.50 per warrant for a period of two years from the closing date.
 
In July 2010, we raised an additional $500,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of 1,000,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.
 
Each of the foregoing transactions were made in non-brokered placements to a non-US person, in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
