 Overview
 
We are a project integrator in the clean energy production and organics to energy markets. We aspire to become a key player in these global markets, working with enterprises with clean energy, organics to energy and related by-product potential to generate clean energy, soil amendments, compost and other by-products. We believe that these markets have tremendous potential insofar as there is a virtually endless supply of waste and organic material that can be used to generate power and valuable by-products. Not only is there a virtually endless supply of waste and organic material, but in most, if not all cases, disposing of such waste and material in most parts of the world today is a costly problem with an environmentally-damaging solution, such as landfilling. We seek to offer a cost-effective, environmentally-safe alternative.
  
We are currently focusing on four projects for which we have signed agreements, term sheets or memoranda to own and implement such projects and which are in various stages of development:
 
United States
 
· Concord, NC Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 5.2 MW Plant
Johnston, RI Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 3.2 MW Plant
  
Ghana
 
· Oti Sanitary Landfill Waste to Energy 1 MW Plant
Accra Transfer Station Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 10MW Plant
 
US Projects
 
North Carolina and Rhode Island Projects
 
On May 7, 2012, we signed a term sheet in respect of two biomass waste-to-energy projects in the United States: (i) one in Rhode Island and (ii) one in North Carolina. The feedstock for the Rhode Island project is expected to be 50,000 tons of organic food waste annually, which is expected to produce enough biogas to power a 3.2 MW generator. The feedstock for the North Carolina plant is expected to be 80,000 tons of organic food waste annually, which is expected to produce enough biogas to power a 5.2 MW generator.
 
In August 2012, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Biogas Nord AG, a German company that provides equipment, procurement and construction services and has over 370 waste to energy anaerobic digestion installations in operation around the world (“BGN”). The joint venture company is a Delaware limited liability company called Binosphere LLC (“Binosphere”) in which we own 75% and BGN owns the remaining 25%. It was intended that we would implement all of our US-based anaerobic digester projects together with BGN through Binosphere. Pursuant to the Binosphere joint venture agreement, BGN had undertaken to invest $1,300,000 into Binosphere from the first four cash payments it is to receive from the first EPC agreement it signs from one of our projects. If BGN were to fail to make such investment, we have the right to reduce its ownership of Binosphere to zero percent, depending on how much BGN invests (if any) of the $1,300,000 it has committed to invest.  In August 2013, BGN became insolvent under German law as a result of which we terminated the joint venture agreement and decided not to use Binosphere in any capacity.

On October 19, 2012, we signed definitive project agreements in respect of both the North Carolina and Rhode Island sites with their current owner pursuant to which we will receive full ownership of each of the entities that owns the rights to implement the respective projects subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Transfer of such ownership is contingent upon the satisfaction of the following closing conditions: (i) a signed power purchase agreement with the local utility, (ii) signed feedstock agreements in respect of the quantity of feedstock that is sufficient to generate the site’s maximum power capacity, (iii) a valid and binding land lease or purchase agreement, (iv) valid and binding offer of debt finance, (v) submitted applications in respect of required permits, (vi) a valid and binding agreement in respect of the equipment, procurement and construction, and (vi) a valid and binding agreement to purchase the project’s applicable federal and state tax credits (collectively, the “Closing Conditions”). Under the terms of the project agreements, within 15 days following the transfer of ownership, we are required to pay to the seller $900,000 in respect of the North Carolina project and $600,000 in respect of the Rhode Island project, in each case less any amounts not reimbursed to us that we incur in support of the seller meeting its Closing Conditions. In addition, after our recoupment in full of our investment in the project and after the limited liability company that owns the project achieves a 30% internal rate of return (if ever), the seller shall be entitled to 30% of the amounts of distributable cash over the 30% internal rate of return. We have also agreed to reimburse certain costs to the seller of the Rhode Island project out of equity funds to be invested in the project.
 
We are currently working with the seller on satisfying such Closing Conditions with a view toward commencing project construction at the North Carolina site and the Rhode Island sites in the first quarter of calendar 2014.  On December 4, 2013, we signed purchase orders and made down-payments for a biosqueeze system for the pre-treatment of organic solid waste for the North Carolina project and a heat exchanger for the pre-heating of the organic feedstock entering into the anaerobic digester to ensure a constant temperature. There are no assurances that we or the seller will satisfy the Closing Conditions in a timely manner or at all.
 
On June 14, 2013, Binosphere signed a term sheet with an Israeli fund (the “Fund”) to finance the equity portion of our Rhode Island project (the “Equity Term Sheet”) subject to certain conditions. Under the Equity Term Sheet, we will receive 15% of the net cash after expenses, debt service and allocations for tax payments (the “Net Profits”) until the Fund achieves a 20% internal rate of return (after taxes), after which our share of the Net Profits will increase to 50%, although the Fund will at all times receive the first $50,000 of annual Net Profits. Our share of Net Profits may be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in the future. We have also granted the Fund a right of first refusal to finance the next U.S. $15,000,000 in similar projects.
 
To-date, there are both signed and binding power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) in respect of both the North Carolina and Rhode Island sites. The PPA for the North Carolina Project is for 15 years. The PPA for the Rhode Island project is also for 15 years with an option to extend (on the part of purchaser of the electricity) for 6 years.  Prior to realizing any revenues under the PPAs, we would have to commence commercial operation on the respective sites. There can be no guarantees that such operations will commence in the near future, if ever.
 
To-date there are three signed feedstock letters of intent in respect of the North Carolina project providing 180 tons a day of a range of organic feedstock.  The North Carolina project requires 400 tons of organic feedstock on a daily basis.  There is one feedstock supply letter of intent in respect of 50 tons a day and one feedstock supply definitive agreement in respect of 50 tons a day for the Rhode Island project.  The Rhode Island project requires 200 tons a day of organic feedstock.  We are working with other suppliers of organic waste to locate other sources of organic feedstock so that we have multiple suppliers for amounts of feedstock in excess of our requirements for each of our sites.
  
On May 15, 2013, McGill Environmental Systems of NC, Inc., a market leader in the compost industry (“McGill”), signed a 10-year compost off-take agreement in respect of each of the Rhode Island and North Carolina projects.  The compost to be purchased by McGill will comprise the digestate that is leftover from the anaerobic digestion process at each plant.  The Rhode Island off-take agreement will obligate McGill to purchase up to 45 tons per day of compost at 40-50% moisture at $9 per ton.  The North Carolina off-take agreement will obligate McGill to purchase up to 45 tons per day of compost at 40-50% moisture at $14 per ton.
 
On October 29, 2013, Orbit Energy Charlotte, LLC (“OEC”), Tipping, LLC (“Tipping”) and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (“Caterpillar”) entered into a Construction Financing Agreement (the “Construction Financing Agreement”). Tipping, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluesphere Corporation formed for the purpose of signing feedstock supply agreements for the North Carolina project.

The Construction Financing Agreement is the agreement pursuant to which Caterpillar Financial Service Corporation (“CAT”) has agreed, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, to provide up to $17,785,720 in debt financing (the “Debt Finance”) in respect of the North Carolina project.  The Debt Finance is to be divided into two phases:  (i) a construction loan and (ii) a term loan.  The term of the Debt Finance shall be 10 years.  Interest on the construction loan component of the Debt Finance based on LIBOR for deposits in dollars for a term of three months plus a variable-rate spread the minimum of which can be 5.32%.  Interest on the term loan component of the Debt Finance will be fixed 60 days prior to the conversion of the construction loan into a term loan (based on CAT’s proprietary cost of funds).  Prepayment of the construction loan is not permitted, but prepayment of the term loan is permitted subject to the payment of a fee the amount of which depends, in part, on the timing of the prepayment.
 
CAT’s obligation to provide the Debt Finance in respect of the Project is subject to (among other things):
 
- satisfactory completion of due diligence on the proposed equipment, procurement and construction (“EPC”);
-
contractor for the Project and approval of the EPC agreement;
- entry into further definitive documentation, including, but not limited to, security documents granting CAT liens over and rights in the Project;
-
receipt in cash of 100% of the amount of equity financing in respect of the Project, which is currently set at $6,000,000 plus a letter of credit in the amount of $1,500,000 to fund certain reserve obligations;
- transfer of $5,000,000 in renewable energy investment tax credit proceeds provided for under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code;
-
receipt of all required permits for construction and operation of the Plant;

-
delivery to CAT by the EPC contractor of a performance bond in the amount of $12,000,000;
- receipt of a performance guarantee by the EPC contractor ensuring that the Project will produce no less than 90% of the project’s nameplate capacity of electricity;
-
delivery to CAT by the EPC contractor of an insurance policy covering such performance guarantee;
- payment of all labor or materials furnished by the EPC contractor’s laborers and sub-contractors;
-
delivery to CAT of feedstock supply agreements in sufficient quantity to provide for the payment of 105% of all amounts to be paid to CAT under the Construction Financing Agreement;
- delivery to CAT of an compost off-take agreement;
-
absence of any liens or claims in respect of the Project;
- purchase of and clean title on the project site;
-
satisfactory completion of environmental due diligence;
- satisfactory completion of due diligence on the party to operate the project;
-
compliance with all legislation, rules and regulations applicable to the project;
- no litigation threatened or pending in respect of the project;
-
payment of all taxes and claims in respect of the project;
- evidence of all required insurance policies being in full force and effect; and
-
ongoing compliance with all representations and warranties under the Construction Finance Agreement.
 
Satisfaction of the foregoing conditions is subject to the full and absolute discretion of CAT.
 
On October 30, 2013, we entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with REF Investments Ltd. (“REF”) with respect to the formation of REF Bluesphere LLC (the “JV”).  The JV is a company set up to own and manage OEC and Tipping through certain intermediary companies.  Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, REF has, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, agreed to invest $6,000,000 in cash plus $1,500,000 in a letter of credit in the form of equity financing for the North Carolina project (the “Equity Finance”).  In exchange for the Equity Finance, REF will receive a 50% ownership stake in the JV leaving the Company with a 50% ownership stake in the JV.  Until REF receives a 20% internal rate of return after taxes (the “Minimum Return”) on its investment of the Equity Finance of the Project, REF will receive 85% of the EBITDA of the North Carolina project and we will receive 15%. Once REF has received the Minimum Return, the allocation of net revenue shall become 50% to REF and 50% to the Company.  If the amount of cash REF invests as Equity Finance exceeds $6,000,000, then REF will be entitled to receive an additional 1% of EBITDA for each $100,000 in excess of $6,000,000 it invests.  For every $100,000 decrease in EBITDA from North Carolina project’s target EBITDA of $6,600,000, REF will receive an additional 1% of EBITDA subject to a maximum of 75% of the net project cash flow.  If REF does not receive the Minimum Return with five years of commercial operation, it will be entitled to receive 95% of EBITDA until it achieves the Minimum Return.  The initial manager of the JV shall be Roy Amitzur, whose term shall be three years subject to early termination by REF for lack of dedication of adequate time to the JV, being charged with the commission of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude, commission of an act of fraud or misuse of JV funds or underperformance of EBITDA of 7% or more against the North Carolina budget in any given year. REF has the right to approve the entry into a wide range of transactions outside of the ordinary course of business.  Until REF receives the Minimum Return, we will pledge our ownership interest in the JV to REF to secure our obligations under the Operating Agreement (to the extent that such ownership interest is not already pledged to CAT). The contribution of the Equity Finance to the JV is subject to the following conditions precedent:

- execution of a power purchase agreement in respect of the project;
-
execution of debt financing agreements for a construction loan for construction of the project with a loan-to-value of not less than 75%;
- receipt of an executed, binding term sheet from a reliable party to invest in the project for the state and federal tax benefits associated with the project with terms and conditions acceptable to REF in its sole discretion (it being expected that such investment will be a minimum of $0.55 per dollar of North Carolina State tax credit and $1.18 per dollar of the Federal Investment Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation);
-
execution by the project company of binding letters of intent or agreements for the supply of 100% of the feedstock required for the project by suppliers with a minimum credit score to be agreed in a separate writing between the parties within 14 days of signing the Operating Agreement;
- execution by the project company of an engineering, procurement and construction agreement for the North Carolina project with a counterparty acceptable to REF in its reasonable discretion;
-
successful completion of third-party technology due diligence on the proposed equipment, design and layout of the project and the conformity of these with the feedstock agreements and budget projections of the project (it being understood that REF is required to complete such due diligence within one month of the date of the Operating Agreement);
- insertion and approval by REF of a (i) schedule of values and draw down schedule, (ii) project development cost schedule, (iii) operating budget for the first five years of operation and (iv) North Carolina project pro forma.
 
We are also continuing our efforts and initiatives to identify and secure the rights to implement biomass waste-to-energy projects at dairy, swine and poultry farms in the United States and are in the initial stages of negotiations with several sites.
 
There can be no assurances that we will implement any biomass waste-to-energy project of any nature in the United States, Ghana or elsewhere.
 
Ghana Projects
 
Oti Project
 
In February 2011, we entered into a joint-venture agreement (the “Oti Agreement”) with the Kumasi Metropolitan Authority (“KMA”), the owner of the Oti Sanitary Landfill (the “Oti Landfill”), and J. Stanley Owusu Group of Companies, the operator of the Oti Landfill (“JSO”).  Pursuant to the Oti Agreement, we obtained the right to implement a landfill gas carbon credit project at the Oti Landfill in Kumasi, Ghana under the auspices of the Kyoto Protocol and an option (subject to entering into separate definitive documentation) to implement a landfill gas to energy project.  The net revenues from the project will be shared among us, the KMA and JSO in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Oti Agreement.
 
In August 2013, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with JSO pursuant to which we agreed to act as 50/50 partners in the project, sharing costs and revenues equally – subject to any interest of KMA in the project.   KMA’s interest in the revenue to be produced from power production remains to be negotiated in the future.
 
There are no termination milestones in the relevant agreements and we have not received any notice or communication from any party in this project of any nature.
 
In March 2012, we entered into negotiations with General Electric in respect of the purchase, installation and operation of a generator-set at the Oti Landfill CDM Project for the purpose of electricity generation. In June 2012, we commenced negotiations with the Electricity Company of Ghana to enter into a long-term power purchase agreement for the sale of the electricity we intend to produce at the Oti site. These negotiations are ongoing as at the date hereof and will only be concluded if and when we enter into a binding power purchase agreement in respect of any project in Africa.  Power purchase agreement negotiations are underway although there can be no assurance that we will sign the necessary agreements for this project in a timely manner or at all.

Accra Project
 
In August 2013, we signed a memorandum of understanding with JSO in respect of a 700-ton per day anaerobic digester plant to be constructed and operated on the site of a Accra’s only transfer station, which is expected to commence operation in the first quarter of 2014.  The transfer station operation will sort the waste, remove inorganic materials and deliver to the anaerobic digester plant the left-over organic waste.  We are currently in negotiations with respect to a 25-year lease for the site, 25-year feedstock supply agreement and a 25-year power purchase agreement for the power to be produced from the project.  There can be no assurance that we will sign the necessary agreements for this project in a timely manner or at all.
 
Sokofrom Project
 
In November 2011, we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Takoradi-Sekondi Metropolitan Assembly and the J. Stanley Owusu Group (the largest Ghanaian waste delivery company and landfill operator) to conduct a feasibility study of the Sofokrom Sanitary Landfill in Takoradi, Ghana with a view to implementing a landfill gas extraction project under the rubric of the Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) of the Kyoto Protocol. The memorandum of understanding terminated in October 2013.  We are currently taking steps to renew it on the same terms and conditions.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.
 
On June 14, 2012, we conducted an on-site feasibility study at the Sofokrom landfill in Takoradi, Ghana. The results of such study suggest that the Sofokrom site will become a viable CDM landfill gas-to-energy project when another 4-9 meters of waste is dumped on top of the existing cell so that it reaches a height of 10-15 meters. This can take 2-4 years depending on waste dumping practices. 
 
Project Financing
 
In July 2011, we entered into a joint-venture agreement with BPure Environmental Improvement Group Ltd. (“BPure”) pursuant to which BPure agreed to finance two of our Ghanaian landfill gas to energy projects in Ghana and open a joint-venture company to be owned in equal share with us in exchange for the right to recoup its investment first and then to participate equally with us in any profits. It was intended that the two projects to be financed would be the Oti Landfill in Kumasi and the Oblogo/Mallam Landfill in Accra.  In February 2012, we amended the joint venture agreement to provide for a different allocation of revenue to be distributed from the two projects to be implemented thereunder:  Bluesphere to receive 20% and BPure 80% of any and all revenue distributed from until BPure receives 140% of the amount it invested in the projects (the “Threshold Amount”).  After BPure has received the Threshold Amount, the proceeds to be distributed to the parties shall be split in accordance with their respective ownership shares in Puresphere – i.e., 50/50.
 
We performed a one-day pump test in January 2012 at the Oti Landfill, the results of which showed sufficient amounts of gas to power a 750 kw generator.
 
In May 2013, BPure informed us that it had reviewed the results of the January 2012 pump test a second time and decided not to invest in any landfill gas to energy project in Ghana. We have decided to seek a new investor for our Ghanaian landfill gas to energy projects. We are currently considering a number of alternatives in how to proceed, including, but not limited to, performing a second pump test to take place over a longer period of time and with deeper wells and to add more sites in Ghana and in neighboring countries such as Nigeria and Ivory Coast. In this connection, we are in negotiations with relevant authorities to secure the right to implement landfill gas to energy projects in both countries. There is no assurance that we will be successful in this endeavor.

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 accumulated a deficit of approximately $64,000.  During the second quarter of 2010, we changed our business model to our current business. In connection with such 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, issued, and outstanding common stock, increasing our authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 1,750,000,000 shares and increasing our outstanding common stock from 16,814 shares to 588,496 shares; (iii) effective February 26, 2010, certain former shareholders of our company sold an aggregate of 307,965 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, and Eliezer Weinberg, our now former non-executive chairman of the Board of Directors. Both Messrs. Weinberg and Palas became our directors. The foregoing share amounts give retroactive effect to our reverse stock split described below.  
 
On November 26, 2013, we amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, in one or more series and with such rights, preferences and privileges as our Board of Directors may determine and to effect a 1 for 113 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. In addition, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide, among other things, for indemnification and limitations to the liability of the Company’s officers and directors.
 
As a result of the reverse stock split, which became effective on December 4, 2013, every 113 shares of our outstanding common stock prior to the effect of that amendment was combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock, and the number of outstanding shares of our common stock was reduced from 1,292,103,309 to 11,434,611 shares.
 
Strategy
 
Our primary focus is providing tailored solutions internationally to produce clean energy out of waste. In this connection, we expect to generate revenue through sales of (i) thermal and electrical energy, (ii) energy efficiency technologies, (iii) project development services, (iv) by-products and (v) from the receipt of tipping fees for accepting waste.
  
We are currently focused on the United States and Africa. We have signed projects in the United States and Africa and a pipeline of additional projects in the United States, Africa and Israel. We are also in various stages of pursuing opportunities in Europe and Asia.
 
A component of the clean energy business in general and the waste to energy business in particular is greenhouse gas (“GHG”) offset credits. Thus far, each of our projects has the potential to generate revenue through the sale of such credits. Outside the United States, our GHG reduction activities operate under the rubric originally created by the Kyoto Protocol and implemented through the United Nations, the EU, and many national governments. Within the United States, our GHG reduction regime is based on the compliance market in California and the various corporations and voluntary buyers who have a specific objective to support climate change mitigation by buying carbon credits.
 
Another component of the clean energy and waste to energy business in the United States is renewable energy credits (“RECs”). A REC represents a MWh or KWh of clean energy. Many states, including North Carolina and Rhode Island, the sites of our two US projects, require that their utilities prove that a portion of the energy they sell is produced from clean or renewable sources. A REC is used to demonstrate that the relevant unit of energy has a clean/renewable source. As such, utilities purchase RECs from producers of clean/renewable energy.
 
In respect of our African landfill gas to energy projects, we have signed an agreement with Vattenfall Energy Trading Netherlands N.V., a subsidiary of the Sweden’s national utility company, to purchase all carbon credits we will receive from our African waste to energy projects through 2020. In respect of our United States waste to energy projects, we are in negotiations with various companies to sell our credits for use in the California compliance market.
 
From 2010 to the end of 2011, we were primarily focused on implementing carbon credit projects in the developing world under the auspices of the Kyoto Protocol. During this time we pursued landfill projects in Ghana (as described above). However despite starting what we hoped would be a promising set of landfill gas-to-energy projects in Africa, in the last quarter of 2011, we repositioned ourselves to pursue waste-to-energy projects which we believe has the potential for greater opportunity.
 
 
8

 
Our model in respect of waste-to-energy is to build, own and operate. We first select projects with signed, long-term agreements with waste producers or waste haulers in respect of the feedstock, with national governments or electricity corporations in respect of the energy output and with private entities in respect of other project by-products (such as renewable energy credits, heat, compost and fertilizer), in each case, prior to initiation of such projects.
 
Our plan is to integrate all activities and components that make up a project, providing a turnkey, one-stop shop solution and doing everything needed to make our projects successful. We intend to work with and outsource key components of such projects to the Engineering Procurement Construction (“EPC”)/technology providers and other project participants that provide the best and most economical solution for each individual project. We believe this will provide us the flexibility and freedom to tailor the best solution for each project. We expect that we will remain involved in managing and financing all aspects of the relevant project for its lifetime or until the project is sold, when that proves to be in our best interests. We believe this assures all of the involved parties - including waste producers, the financing parties, the EPC/technology providers and customers - that there is long-term overall continuity and responsibility for each project as a whole.
 
We are therefore now focusing most of our efforts and resources toward waste-to-energy projects. As described more fully below, we have signed agreements in respect of two projects in the United States (North Carolina and Rhode Island) and are in the process of developing a pipeline of more such projects in the United States, Israel, Africa and elsewhere. Presently, we believe that there is a virtually endless supply of waste suitable for such projects and the demand for energy in general and from such projects in particular is growing every year and exceeds the amount of energy available to satisfy such demand.
 
Aiming to be distinctive in the “clean, green” market, our specific intentions are to:
 
· provide a one-stop, turn-key/build own and operate/transfer solution that is unique in the market today;
identify and obtain the rights to lucrative projects without incurring material expense;
· deliver seamless and professional project implementation through a combination of its own expertise and the use of third-party experts with a track-record of success;
be open to the use of any mature and well-known technology and, thus, be able to tailor make cost-efficient and effective solutions for each project;
· leverage our management’s more than 30 years of experience in successful implementation of large and complex projects in the developing world;
build local and international teams to support each project;
· obtain political, property, non-performance and insolvency insurance for its projects; and
receive almost all of our revenues in dollars or euros whether operating in the United States or other parts of the developing world.
 
Competition
 
There are a number of other companies operating in the clean energy and waste to energy space. Such companies range from other project developers to service or equipment providers, buyers and/or investors. In contrast to the standard market approach in this space (i.e., being solely a project developer, service or equipment provider or a buyer or investor), and as referred to above, we seek to provide a one-stop shop, turn-key solution to project owners. In short, our business model is to initiate, finance, develop, bring the most appropriate technology and EPC party and manage all aspects of project implementation and sales of the project’s clean energy and by-products starting from identifying the opportunity and ending with terminating the project’s operations if and when its revenue-earning life is over. We believe that this one-stop shop approach is attractive to project owners and will differentiate us in a positive manner from our competition. We are aware of one competitor that has a similar model to us – Harvest Power, although, we have seen reports of other companies seeking to get into this business.

Government Approval
 
Each of the projects we have signed to-date requires the approval of the relevant governments. In the United States, the standard required environmental permits relate to solid waste composting and air quality. In particular, in respect of our North Carolina project, the following permits will be required:
 
(i) air quality permit
   
(ii)
the solid waste permit
 
 
(iii) surface water - construction phase I
   
(iv)
surface water - operations phase II
 
 
(v) industrial pretreatment permit
   
(vi)
NPDES industrial stormwater no-exposure exclusion
 
We have prepared applications for the requisite US approvals and expect to submit such applications in the first calendar quarter of 2014. We understand that, while there is no official time limit in which these permits are to be issued, they typically take between two - six months. There are also construction and building permits. We are in the process of preparing construction and building permit applications, which, together with the environmental permits, we intend to submit to the relevant authorities in the first quarter of 2014. In this connection, we have engaged an engineering firm in North Carolina to prepare and submit all permit applications – construction and environmental. Work on preparing and submitting the required applications has already commenced.
 
In Ghana, a positive environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) is required for any project in the waste sphere. To generate energy, we will also need a license from the Ghanaian energy commission. We have completed an EIA for and received approval for our first Ghanaian project, the Oti Sanitary Landfill project in 2012. We will apply for government approvals in respect of all of our other Ghanaian projects when we start implementation of the relevant project.
 
Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations on Our Business
 
Our projects are located in jurisdictions in which there are no government regulations materially affecting our business. Other than the possibility that, in order to comply with air regulations in Rhode Island, we may be required to install NOx destruction equipment on the generators we expect to use in our Rhode Island project, we are not aware of any probable or proposed governmental regulations that, if enacted, will have a material impact on our business. If we are required to install such equipment, we believe the cost will not be material to the Rhode Island project’s economic performance. Whether or not we are required to install such equipment will depend on an assessment to be made as part of the permitting project to ascertain expected levels of NOx emissions from the operation of the generators at the Johnston site. We expect to know the outcome of this assessment in the first six months of 2014.
 
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
We are aware of no costs or effects of compliance with environmental laws with respect to our business except for the costs of preparing applications for permits. Each Ghanaian project requires the performance of an EIA in order to receive government approval. We have performed an EIA in respect of our Oti Sanitary Landfill project, which was approved by the Ghanaian government in September 2012. We expect to perform an EIA for each of our Ghanaian projects as part of the preparation of materials we will submit to the United Nations in order to receive carbon credits. Each EIA will cost approximately $10,000. We estimate that to obtain the permits for each of our existing US projects will cost approximately $300,000.
 
Employees
 
We have five persons providing us services on a full-time basis – our non-executive chairman, our chief executive officer, our executive vice-president, our chief technical officer and our general counsel and chief carbon officer. We have two part-time employees – our chief financial officer and an office manager.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Set forth below are risks with respect to us. Readers should review these risks, together with the other information in this report. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by us or that we currently deem immaterial may become material and may also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions or results of operations could be harmed. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report for additional risks.
 
Risk Factors related to our Business and Industry
 
We have a limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.
 
We are a development stage company formed in 2007 and have a limited operating history upon which you can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Since we have not been profitable, there are substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties that we are subject to. To address these risks and uncertainties, we must do among the following:
 
 
·
Successfully execute our business strategy;
 
·
Respond to competitive developments; and
 
·
Attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel;
 
There can be no assurance that at this time we will operate profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due. Investors must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies, particularly in rapidly evolving markets. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
 
We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results.
 
As of September 30, 2012 and 2013, we had working capital (deficit) of $(674,000) and $(881,000), respectively, and shareholders' (deficit) of $(668,000) and $(482,000), respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, we incurred net losses of $(3,668,000) and $(1,970,000). As of September 30, 2013, we had an aggregate accumulated deficit of $(28,566,000). We expect to incur additional substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.  We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability.  We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock and investors would in all likelihood lose their entire investment.
 
Our independent auditors’ report states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, state in their audit report, dated January 13, 2014, that our having incurred recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur expenses without generating significant revenues into the foreseeable future, at least until some of our projects become operational.  Our only source of funds to date has been the sale of our common stock and debt financing.  Because we cannot ensure that any of our projects will become operational or that we will be able to generate any significant revenues or income, the identification of new sources of equity or debt financing will be difficult.  If we are successful in closing on any new equity financing, existing investors will experience substantial dilution. Our ability to obtain additional debt financing is also severely impacted by our financial condition given that we do not have revenues or profits to pay interest or repay principal.
 
 
11

 
We will require additional funding, and our future access to capital is uncertain. Insufficient funds may limit our ability to develop projects that become operational and revenue generating.
 
Our business can change unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including competition, regulation, legal proceedings, or other events, which could impact our funding needs or our cash flow from operations or increase our required capital expenditures. In addition, all of our current projects will require some amount of financing from us and/or our partners. Those projects that do not require financing from us may provide that our partners’ initial investments are repaid, in whole or in part, before we receive any income generated by our projects, creating a need for additional financing to support our operations until income accrues to us from such projects.
 
Our estimates of the funds necessary to develop projects that become operational and revenue generating may be inaccurate, or we may undertake other business ventures or acquire other assets in the future, in each case which could require additional funds. Furthermore, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. We may seek the additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, and collaborative and joint venture arrangements. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and joint venture arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to or in our projects, or grant licenses or other rights to or in our project that are not favorable to us.
 
Adequate funds, whether through the financial markets or from other sources, may not be available when we need them or on terms acceptable to us. For example, the United States has recently experienced an economic recession, the long-term impact of which cannot be predicted. Furthermore, as a result of the recent volatility in domestic and international capital markets, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected as compared to its normal function. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. Insufficient funds could cause us to delay, scale back, or choose not to develop currently planned or future projects.
 
Project development or construction activities may not be successful and proposed projects may not receive required permits or construction may not proceed as planned.
 
The development and construction of our projects involves numerous risks. We may be required to spend significant sums for preliminary engineering, permitting, legal, and other expenses before we can determine whether a project is feasible, economically attractive or capable of being built. Success in developing a particular project is contingent upon, among other things: (i) negotiation of satisfactory engineering, procurement and construction agreements; (ii) receipt of required governmental permits and approvals; (iii) obtaining construction financing; and (v) timely implementation and satisfactory completion of construction.
 
Successful completion of a particular project may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including: (i) delays in obtaining required government permits and approvals with acceptable conditions; (ii) uncertainties relating to land costs for projects; (iii) unforeseen engineering problems; (iv) construction delays and contractor performance shortfalls; (v) work stoppages; (vi) cost over-runs; (vii) equipment and materials supply; (viii) adverse weather conditions; and (ix) environmental and geological conditions.
 
Changes in laws and regulations over which we have no control can significantly affect our business and results of operations.
 
Any governmental entity that regulates our operations or projects in the country in which they are located may enact new legislation or adopt new laws and regulations or policies at any time, and new judicial decisions may change the interpretation of existing legislation or regulations at any time in any of the countries in which our operations or projects are located.  We have no control over any such changes.  Any new laws or regulations governing our operations or projects could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and prospects.
 
 
12

 
Uncertainty in Brokering or Dealing in Environmental Commodities could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
 
The recent worldwide recession and associated uncertainty surrounding a global approach to carbon emissions has had a negative effect on the price of carbon credits and transaction volume has declined as a result.  We cannot make any predictions about (i) the timing or the pace of the worldwide economic recovery, (ii) whether the price of carbon credits or the transaction volume for such credits will continue to decline or when or whether they will increase, (iii) the extent to which countries will attempt to reduce their environmental emissions in order to achieve compliance with international and U.S.-based initiatives.   Continuation of the recession, declines in the price or transaction volume for carbon credits and reductions in efforts by countries to reduce their environmental emissions will each have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and prospects.
 
The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol upon which our carbon credit business is based was originally valid until the end 2012.  At the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change held in Durban, South Africa in December 2011, the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol was provisionally extended until 2017.  Also, a commitment was undertaken to begin negotiations for a new legally binding treaty to take effect in 2020.  Therefore, although greenhouse gasses are recognized as a worldwide concern, the future revisions to the Kyoto Protocol and their effects of those provisions remain unclear.  It is impossible to predict the provisions of the international agreement that will replace the Kyoto Protocol. Under such new agreement, it is possible that the projected income of the Company that is based on carbon emission reduction may be reduced significantly or even disappear.
 
Our reliance on the owners and operators of our projects in various countries poses significant risks to our business and prospects.
 
We contract with the owners and operators of the projects that will be essential to our operations. If the owners or operators experience unanticipated changes in their businesses or in the business or operations of our projects, we may incur additional costs. For example:
 
 
·
the owners or operators of our projects may face delays due to natural disasters or strikes, lock-outs or other such actions or other risks associated with Force Majeure;
 
·
the owners or operators of our projects could make strategic changes in the operations of our projects; and
 
·
some of our owners or operators may be small companies which are more likely to experience financial and operational difficulties than larger, well-established companies, because of their limited financial and other resources.
 
For the purposes of this section “Force Majeure” means adverse weather conditions, fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, eruption, computer or communication disruption (including software and hardware problems) and the consequences thereof, war, rebellion, insurrection, riot, vandalism, civil commotion, or disobedience (lawful or unlawful), acts of terrorism, strike, lockout, differences with workers or other labor disputes, failures of carriers to transport or furnish facilities for transportation, any order, step, action, proceeding, law, regulation or requisition of any government or other authority, any judicial action or decision, acts of God, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of a party, excluding only lack of finances and the consequences thereof.
 
As a result of any of these factors, we may be required to find alternative owners, operators or projects on which we rely. Accordingly, we may experience unanticipated interruptions or delays in the operations of our projects, which could adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, and results of operations, cash flow and liquidity.
 
Our operations in foreign markets could cause us to incur additional costs and risks associated with doing business internationally.
 
Our operations in geographic markets outside of the United States will subject us to a number of risks and potential costs, including:
 
 
·
different regulatory requirements governing the environment and the energy marketplace;
 
·
difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing international operations;
 
·
United States, federal, state and local laws, including tax laws, related to foreign operations, including compliance with United States, federal, state and local foreign corrupt practices laws;
 
·
differing intellectual property laws;
 
·
differing contract laws that prevent the enforceability of agreements between energy suppliers and energy consumers;
 
 
13

 
 
·
the imposition of special taxes, including local taxation of our fees or of transactions through our exchange;
 
·
strong local competitors;
 
·
currency fluctuations; and
 
·
political and economic instability.
 
Our business is headquartered in Israel and our executive officers are based in Israel.  Therefore, our results of operations could be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital.
 
Our failure to manage the risks associated with international operations could limit the future growth of our business and adversely affect our operating results. We may be required to make a substantial financial investment and expend significant management efforts in connection with our international operations.
 
Our operations in the developing world could cause us to incur additional risks associated with doing business in developing markets.
 
We are seeking to operate largely in the developing world (such as, e.g., countries in Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia), making us susceptible to changes in the economic, political, and social conditions therein. The developing world has experienced political, economic and social uncertainty in recent years, including an economic crisis characterized by increased inflation, high domestic interest rates, in some cases, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and high unemployment.  Currently, many of the countries in the developing world where we have projects have been pursuing economic stabilization policies, including the encouragement of foreign trade and investment and other reforms.   Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that the countries in which we currently or will operate will continue to pursue these policies, that these policies will be successful if pursued or that these policies will not be significantly altered. In case of a decline in the world economy, increases in political or social problems or a reversal of foreign investment policies, it is likely that any such changes will have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders could lose their investment.
 
We do not believe there are track records for companies pursuing our specific strategy, and there is no guarantee that our strategy will be successful or profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will fail to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business we pursue, which would cause the value of the Company to decrease, thereby potentially causing in all likelihood, our stockholders to lose their investment.
 
We may face intense competition and may not be able to successfully compete.
 
There are a number of other companies operating in the carbon credit and renewable energy space.  Such companies range from service or equipment providers, to consultants and managers and to buyers and/or investors.  In contrast to the standard market approach in this space (i.e., being a service or equipment provider, a consultant or manager or a buyer or investor), we seek to provide a one-stop shop, turn-key solution to project owners.
 
We may not have the resources to compete with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We intend to compete with the various participants in the carbon credit and renewable energy market, almost all of which have significantly greater personnel, financial and managerial resources than we have. This competition from other environmental companies with greater resources may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business. Moreover, as the demand for carbon credits increases, new companies may enter the market, and the influx of added competition will pose an increased risk to us. Increased competition may lead to price wars, which would harm us since we would be unable to compete with companies with greater resources.
 
 
14

 
We rely on key personnel, and if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
 
The development of our business will continue to place a significant strain on our limited personnel, management, and other resources. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and the engagement of key employees and contractors who have critical industry experience and relationships that we will rely on to implement our business plan. The loss of the services of any of our officers or the lack of availability of other skilled personnel would negatively impact our ability to develop, which could adversely affect our financial results and impair our growth.   In order to support our projected growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management personnel.  Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect on us.  We have no “key man” insurance on any of our key employees.
 
Volatility in foreign exchange currency rates could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and trading prices of our stock.
 
Any currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the various currencies of the jurisdictions in which we operate or receive payment (including the Euro) that make doing business more expensive or revenue in foreign currencies less valuable may have a material, adverse impact on our earnings, cash flow and/or financial position and, as a result, could adversely impact the trading prices of our stock.
  
Risk Factors related to our Common Stock
 
Our recently effected reverse split ultimately may not increase our stock price.
 
We expect that the reverse split of our common stock that was effected on December 4, 2013 will increase the market price of our common stock. However, the effect of the reverse split upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with certainty, and the results of reverse stock splits by companies in similar circumstances are varied. It is possible that the share price of our common stock immediately after the reverse split will not remain increased in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. If the market price of our common stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse split. In addition, investors might consider the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares of common stock to issued shares of common stock to have an anti-takeover effect under certain circumstances by allowing for dilutive issuances which could prevent certain shareholders from changing the composition of our Board of Directors.
 
The reverse split may decrease the liquidity of our stock.
 
The liquidity of our common stock may be affected adversely by the reverse split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding after the reverse split, especially if our stock price does not increase as a result of the reverse split. In addition, the reverse split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting sales.
 
After the reverse split, the resulting stock price may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors.  Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.
 
Although we believe that a higher stock price may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the share price will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.
 
 
15

 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control or disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately and timely or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. Due to lack of segregation of duties, limited resources, and lack of a formal audit committee and financial expert on the Board, we lack the board oversight role within the financial reporting process, we concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2013. In addition, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2013 due to our limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. We are in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system however there can be no assurance that implementation of any change will be completed in a timely manner or that it will be adequate once implemented.
 
There may be a limited public market for our securities.
 
Trading in our common stock continues to be conducted on the electronic bulletin board in the over-the-counter market. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and our common stock may be less attractive for margin loans, for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future capital raising transactions or other purposes.
 
Investors may incur dilution.
 
We may issue additional shares of our equity securities or incur additional debt convertible into equity securities in order to raise additional cash to fund acquisitions or for working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock or incur additional debt that is converted into shares of capital stock, investors could experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us.
     
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
 
Dramatic fluctuations in the price of our common stock may make it difficult to sell our common stock. The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control.
 
Our stock is a “penny stock”. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our common stock is subject to the regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act that require additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The SEC regulations define penny stocks to be any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Unless an exception is available, those regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a standardized risk disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the purchaser’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage market investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to the Company.
 
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could adversely affect our financial condition.
 
 
16

 
There is no intention to pay dividends at the present time.
 
We have never paid dividends or made other cash distributions on the common stock, and do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for working capital and to finance current operations and expansion of its business. Investors should not count on dividends in evaluating an investment in our common stock.

OVERVIEW
 
Summary of Current Operations
We are a project integrator in the clean energy production and organics to energy markets. We aspire to become a key player in these global markets, working with enterprises with clean energy, organics to energy and related by-product potential to generate clean energy, soil amendments, compost and other by-products. We believe that these markets have tremendous potential insofar as there is a virtually endless supply of waste and organic material that can be used to generate power and valuable by-products. Not only is there a virtually endless supply of waste and organic material, but in most, if not all cases, disposing of such waste and material in most parts of the world today is a costly problem with an environmentally-damaging solution, such as landfilling. We seek to offer a cost-effective, environmentally-safe alternative.
 
We are currently focusing on four projects for which we have signed agreements, term sheets or memoranda to own and implement such projects and which are in various stages of development:
 
United States
 
· Concord, NC Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 5.2 MW Plant
Johnston, RI Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 3.2 MW Plant
 
Ghana
 
· Oti Sanitary Landfill Waste to Energy 1 MW Plant
Accra Transfer Station Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 10MW Plant
 
Reverse Split
 
On December 4, 2013, we effected a 1 for 113 reverse stock split as a result of which every 113 shares of our outstanding common stock prior to the effect of the split was combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock, and the number of outstanding shares of our common stock was reduced from 1,292,103,309 to 11,434,611 shares.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenue
 
We have recorded no revenue since inception.
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2013 were $1,831,000 as compared to $3,604,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in the expenses related to share based compensation totaling $203,000 in the year ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,956,000 in the year ended September 30, 2012
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the above, we incurred a net loss of $1,970,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a net loss of $3,668,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. We anticipate losses in future periods.
 
 
22

 
Inflation
 
Our results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect that inflation risk would cause material impact on its operations in the future.
 
Seasonality
 
Our results of operations are not materially affected by seasonality and we do not expect seasonality to cause any material impact on our operations in the near future.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other relevant factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.
 
Liquidity
 
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash of $46,000 compared to $22,000 as of September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we had working capital deficit of $881,000 compared to $674,000 as of September 30, 2012.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,042,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to $324,000 for the prior period September 30, 2012. The increase of $718,000 in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to development expenses incurred in connection with our North Carolina and Rhode Island projects.  Currently operating costs exceed revenue. We have not generated any revenue to-date.
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $456,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013 as compared to none for the prior period September 30, 2012. The net increase in cash used in investing activities was due to payments made for our operations in our US projects as detailed above.
 
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $1,522,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $296,000 for the prior period September 30, 2012. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to a increase in equity financing. To date we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common stock and the issuance of debt.
 
The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2013 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.   Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.
 
Management anticipates that existing cash resources, including the proceeds of the equity placements subsequent to September 30, 2013 described below will not be sufficient to fund our planned operations during the next 12 months. We estimate that, in order to fund our continued existence, we will require $1,000,000 in cash over the next 12 months. This does not include amounts we will have to invest in the implementation of our projects. Assuming we finance each project with 25% equity and 75% debt, we will require approximately $12,000,000 in additional capital to make equity investments in each of our projects. There is no assurance that we will be successful in financing our projects with 25% equity and 75% debt (such amounts could be more or less) and, even if successful, there is no assurance that we will raise such capital at all or in a timely manner.
 
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 and 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.
 
 
23

 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As at September 30, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any nature.
 
Market Risk and Contingent Liabilities
 
We are seeking to operate in the developing world (i.e. Ghana), making us susceptible to changes in the economic, political, and social conditions therein. The developing world has experienced political, economic and social uncertainty in recent years, including an economic crisis characterized by increased inflation, high domestic interest rates, in some cases, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and high unemployment. Currently, many of the countries in the developing world have been pursuing economic stabilization policies, including the encouragement of foreign trade and investment and other reforms. In the last year, there was an overall improvement in the world (and, consequently, developing world) economic environment. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that the countries in which we currently or will operate will continue to pursue these policies, that these policies will be successful if pursued or that these policies will not be significantly altered. In case of a decline in the world economy, political or social problems or a reversal of foreign investment policies, it is likely that any such change will have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, inflation may lead to higher wages and salaries for local employees and increases in the cost of materials, which would adversely affect the Company's profitability.
 
Risks inherent in foreign operations include nationalization, war, terrorism, and other political risks and risks of increases in foreign taxes or changes in U.S. tax treatment of foreign taxes paid and the imposition of foreign government royalties and fees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Blue Sphere Corp. (A Development Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Blue Sphere Corp. and its subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2013 and for the period from May 17, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audit, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Sphere Corp. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2013 and for the period from May 17, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1a to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1a. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
a.     Going concern consideration:
 
Blue Sphere Corp. (the “Company”) together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Eastern Sphere Ltd. (“Eastern”), Bino Sphere Inc ("Bino Sphere"), Charlottesphere LLC ("Charlotteshpere") and Tipping LLC (“Tipping”) is a development stage company focused on project integration in the clean energy production and waste to energy markets.
 
The results of Tipping and Charlottesphere, operations and balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 have not been material.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $46 thousand in cash, a negative working capital of approximately $703 thousand in working capital, a negative stockholders’ equity of approximately $482 thousand and an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,566 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
 
b.     General:
 
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 17, 2007 and was originally in the business of developing and promoting automotive internet sites. During the second quarter of 2010 the management of the Company decided to change its business focus to that of project integrator in the clean energy production and waste to energy markets.
 
The Company is currently focusing on four projects for which it has signed agreements, term sheets or memoranda to own and implement such projects and which are in various stages of development:
 
United States
 
·              Concord, NC Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 5.2 MW Plant
·              Johnston, RI Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 3.2 MW Plant
 
Ghana
 
·              Oti Sanitary Landfill Waste to Energy 1 MW Plant
·              Accra Transfer Station Waste to Energy Anaerobic Digester 10MW Plant

BLUE SPHERE CORP.
 
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
On November 26, 2013, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, in one or more series and with such rights, preferences and privileges as its Board of Directors may determine and to effect a 1 for 113 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide, among other things, for indemnification and limitations to the liability of the Company’s officers and directors.
 
As a result of the reverse stock split, which became effective on December 4, 2013, every 113 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the effect of that amendment was combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s common stock, and the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced from 1,292,103,309 to 11,434,611 shares.
 
All share, stock option and per share information in these consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
 
b.     Functional currency:
 
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the U.S dollar (“$” or “dollar").
 
Most of the Company’s expenses are incurred in dollars. Most of the Company’s external financing is in dollars. The Company holds most of its cash and cash equivalents in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar.
 
Since the dollar is the primary currency in the economic environment in which the Company operates, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured using the representative foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Operational accounts and non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the rate in effect at the date of transaction. The effects of foreign currency re-measurement are reported in current operations (as “financial expenses - net) and have not been material to date.
 
c.     Principles of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
 
Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
d.     Cash equivalents:
 
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments which include short term bank deposit (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.
 
e.     Property, plant and equipment:
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
 
Computers, software and electronic equipment are depreciated over three years. Tools and equipment are depreciated over five years. Furniture is depreciated over fourteen years.

BLUE SPHERE CORP.
 
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
f.     Use of estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates
 
g.     Share-base payments:
 
The Company accounts for awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.
 
h.     Loss per share:
 
Net loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and of common shares equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common shares equivalents include: (i) outstanding stock options under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive, and (ii) Common shares to be issued under the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes, which are included under the if-converted method when dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, does not include common share equivalents, since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
i.      Deferred income taxes:
 
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.
 
j.      Comprehensive loss:
 
The Company has no component of comprehensive income loss other than net loss.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
k.     Newly issued accounting pronouncements:
 
In February 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Its adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not expected to have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires additional disclosures about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The Company believes that the adoption of both the standard and the update will not an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 2 – DEBENTURES,  NOTES AND LOANS
 
Asher Notes

On July 1, 2012, the Company signed a placement agreement with Fidelity Venture Capital Limited (“Fidelity”) pursuant to which Fidelity undertook to raise U.S. $1,000,000 in notes convertible into shares of common stock or more senior equity securities of the Company (if any) for a period of three and one half years at prices ranging from USD 2.26 cents to USD 11.3 cents per share or a discount of 20% of the then market price of the Company’s shares depending on when any such conversion is consummated (the “Fidelity Notes”).  The Fidelity Notes will bear annual interest of 6.5% to be paid semi-annually in arrears.  The Company has committed to pay off the outstanding principal of the Fidelity Notes by paying to the holders of such Fidelity Notes 7% of gross income and making certain pre-payments of the principal during the term of the notes.  Each holder of Fidelity Notes is to receive shares of common stock of the Company worth USD 79.1 cents for each dollar it invested in the Fidelity Notes (the “Incentive Shares”).  The Company has pledged the income from its projects to such holders as security to pay the Fidelity Notes in full. See subsequent events below for additional information. 
 
Fidelity was entitled to nine percent of the gross proceeds it raises for the Company.  To-date, the Company has received an aggregate amount of U.S. $50,000 (less commissions) from sales of Fidelity Notes to Fidelity itself.
 
On December 25, 2012 and following the failure of Fidelity to raise U.S $1,000,000 in notes based on the placement agreement above, the Company notified Fidelity on the termination of the placement agreement.
 
On April 4, 2013, the Company signed an investment agreement with Fidelity, and Dalia Aztmon, an Israeli investor, which amends in part the investment agreement signed on July 1, 2012 between the Company and Fidelity, pursuant to which Dalia Atzmon agreed to purchase an additional amount of U.S. $50,000 of the Company’s 6.5% notes (the “DA Notes”).  The DA Notes bear annual interest of 6.5% and are payable in full in three and one half years.  Dalia has already elected to convert the outstanding principal and interest into shares of common stock of the Company.  In this connection, on May 10, 2013 the Company issued Dalia 266,553 shares at a conversion price of U.S. $0.2034 per share.  Fidelity has also elected to convert the outstanding principal and interest of its July 1, 2012 $50,000 investment into shares of common stock of the Company and, in this connection, received 245,904 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Since both investors have converted 100% of the outstanding principal and interest of their loans into shares of common stock of the Company, the investment agreement has no further force or effect.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES:

 

US resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income for corporate income tax purposes at a statutory rate of 35%. No further taxes are payable on this profit unless that profit is distributed. If certain conditions are met, income derived from foreign subsidiaries is tax exempt in the US under applicable tax treaties to avoid double taxation.
 
Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 25% in 2010, 24% in 2011 and 25% in 2012 and onwards.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The breakdown of the deferred tax asset as of September 30 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

On January 31, 2012, the Company lent an Israeli company, CTG Clean Technology Group Limited (the “Borrower”), U.S. $30,000 at an annual rate of interest of eight percent (8%).  The purpose of this loan was to provide the borrower capital to continue its operations while the Company considered acquiring such company.  On February 8, 2012, the Company received the cash to make such loan to the Borrower from a Cyprus company (JLS Investment Holding).   The Borrower pledged the revenues from its Angolan waste-water project toward the repayment of the principal and interest of this loan.  Management is in negotiations with CTG with respect to repayment of such loan together with accrued and unpaid interest, however, to-date, the Company has not received any payment whatsoever from the borrower therefore such loan had been written-off in whole in the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013.

Construction Financing Agreement
 
On October 29, 2013, Orbit Energy Charlotte, LLC (“OEC”), Tipping, LLC (“Tipping”) and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (“Caterpillar”) entered into a Construction Financing Agreement (the “Construction Financing Agreement”) in respect of the 5.2MW anaerobic digester project in Charlotte, NC (the “Project”) that the Company expects to acquire from Orbit Energy, Inc., the project’s current owner.

The Debt Finance is to be divided into two phases: (i) a construction loan and (ii) a term loan. The term of the Debt Finance shall be 10 years. Interest on the construction loan component of the Debt Financing is based on LIBOR for deposits in dollars for a term of three months plus a variable-rate spread the minimum of which can be 5.32%. Interest on the term loan component of the Debt Finance will be fixed 60 days prior to the conversion of the construction loan into a term loan (based on CAT’s proprietary cost of funds). Prepayment of the construction loan is not permitted, but prepayment of the term loan is permitted subject to the payment of a fee the amount of which depends, in part, on the timing of the prepayment.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013.  Based on that evaluation, our officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
 
Evaluation of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting”, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. An evaluation of effectiveness is subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may decrease over time.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized use, acquisition, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended September 30, 2013. In making this assessment, we utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2013.  Specifically, during our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013, management identified material weaknesses related to the lack of segregation of duties and the need for stronger financial reporting oversight.  Due to our limited resources, we do not have multiple levels of transaction review.  Additionally, we do not have a formal audit committee, and the Board of Directors does not have a financial expert, thus we lack the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
 
 
25

 
Our management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system of controls and procedures.  However, given limitations in financial and manpower resources, we may not have the resources to address fully the weaknesses in controls.  No assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the year ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
 
(1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
 
(2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
 
(3) being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and
 
(4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
 
Election of Directors
 
Our directors are elected by the vote of a majority in interest of the holders of our voting stock and hold office until the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified. The Board of Directors may also appoint additional directors to fill vacancies up to the maximum number permitted under our by laws.
 
 
29

 
A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business.  The directors must be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum.  However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to the action.
 
Board Independence
 
We currently have two directors serving on our Board of Directors. We are not a listed issuer and, as such, are not subject to any director independence standards. Using the definition of “independent director,” as defined by Section 5605(a)(2) of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, neither of our directors would be considered an independent director.
 
Committees
Due to our small size, we do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the board of directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Our board of directors currently performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. 
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
None of our executive officers serves as a member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors.
 
Code of Ethics
 
At present, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers; however, our Board is considering implementation of such a Code in the near future.
 
Board Leadership Structure
 
Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that it is currently in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to separate these roles.   Mr. Shoham has served as our Chairman since February [], 2012, and Mr. Shlomo Palas has been our Chief Executive Officer and a director since March 3, 2010.
 
Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes.  The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
 
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
 
The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by us. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced by the Company at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the entire Board is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.
