NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of Blue Sphere Corporation (the “Company”). These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

NOTE 2 – GENERAL

 

We are an international Independent Power Producer (“IPP”) that is active in the clean energy production and waste-to-energy markets. We are working to become a leading player in these growing global market segments. We currently focus on projects related to the construction, acquisition or development of biogas and waste-to-energy facilities in the United States, Italy, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom amongst other markets.

 

In the third quarter of 2018 we continued to advance our goals and have managed to achieve certain milestones including; completing the primary development work for our biogas project in Brabant, Netherlands.  We now are working to complete the “financial close” for this project with our investing partners and begin construction.  Additionally, our four biogas facilities in the Pavia region of Italy have performed well in the third quarter of 2018.  Each facility is operating above 90% capacity and we are currently exceeding our budgeted goals.  Our business development activities continue to move forward and our development pipeline remains robust.  We have also spent a considerable amount of time in the third quarter of 2018 working with investors and bankers to find the best financing solutions for Blue Sphere to fully capitalize on the opportunities that industry relationships are presenting to us.  

 

NOTE 3 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  A. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and for the nine-months period and three-months period then ended have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-months period and three-months period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The September 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

  B. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements except for revenue ASC 606 On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted this pronouncement using the modified retrospective method effective January 1, 2018. Pursuant to Topic 606, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any material impacts related to the above noted areas, nor any impact to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, there were no material impacts on the amount and timing of revenue recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

  C. Recent Accounting Standards

 

In January 25, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842). Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The amendments in this Update provide an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840, Leases. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date that the entity adopts Topic 842. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. An entity that early adopted Topic 842 should apply the amendments in this Update upon issuance. 

 

On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Organizations should apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.

 

On February 28 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the guidance in Update 2016-01. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2018.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Some of the amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in this Update do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance of this Update. However, many of the amendments in this Update do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in this Update are of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the Codification improvements project. However, the Board decided to issue a separate Update for the improvements related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase stakeholders’ awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvements. The amendments in this Update affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in Update 2016-02. For entities that have early adopted Topic 842, the amendments in this Update should be effective upon issuance of the final Update and the transition requirements should be the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements of the amendments should be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. For entities that have adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the transition and effective date of the amendments related to separating components of a contract in this Update are as follows: 1. The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity. 2. The practical expedient may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. All entities, including early adopters, that elect the practical expedient related to separating components of a contract in this Update must apply the expedient, by class of underlying asset, to all existing lease transactions that qualify for the expedient at the date elected.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this Update improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. Subtopic 715-20 addresses the disclosure of other accounting and reporting requirements related to single-employer defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans.The amendments in this Update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. Although narrow in scope, the amendments are considered an important part of the Board’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by applying concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this Update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the amendments require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.

  D. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows (in thousands):

 

   Balance as of September 30, 2018 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Liabilities:                
Obligation to issue shares of Common Stock  $500   $   $   $500 
Deferred payment due to the acquisition of the SPVs  $   $   $3,103   $3,103 
Warrants liability  $   $   $9,722   $9,722 
Total liabilities  $500   $   $12,825   $13,325 

 

   As of December 31, 2017 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Liabilities:                
Obligation to issue shares of Common Stock  $500   $   $   $500 
Deferred payment due to the acquisition of the SPVs  $   $   $2,068   $2,068 
Warrants Liability  $   $   $653   $653 
Total liabilities  $500   $   $2,721   $3,221 

 

On May 14, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Italy Project Agreement”) with Volteo Energie S.p.A., Agriholding S.r.l., and Overland S.r.l. (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) through our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Bluesphere Pavia S.r.l., pursuant to which we agreed to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the share capital of Agricerere S.r.l., Agrielektra S.r.l., Agrisorse S.r.l. and Gefa S.r.l, (each, an “SPV” and collectively, the “SPVs”), each of which is engaged in the operation of an anaerobic digestion biogas plant located in Italy for the production and sale of electricity. Under the Italy Project Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the remaining balance of fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price along with annual interest rate of two percent (2%), less certain credits that is due to the sellers on the third anniversary of the closing date (the “Deferred Payment”). The Purchase Price is subject to certain adjustments and to an adjustment based on the actual EBITDA results in the 18 months following the Closing Date, per the following mechanism: 

 

  (a) If the actual EBITDA in the 18 months following the Closing Date divided by 1.5 is greater than € 934, then the deferred payment shall be increased by the amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference.
     
  (b) If the actual EBITDA in the 18 months following the Closing Date divided by 1.5 is lesser than € 934, then the deferred payment shall be reduced by the amount of the amount necessary to maintain a Purchase Price that yields an Equity IRR of twenty-five percent (25%), but not more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the remaining balance.

 

On July 21, 2017, the Company notified the Sellers of its estimated Deferred Payment, pursuant to Article 3.03 of the Italy Projects Agreement regulating the Deferred Payment adjustment mechanism. As of April 16, 2018, two of the three Sellers have accepted the Company’s estimate, and the third Seller, Volteo Energie S.p.A., is reviewing the Company’s estimate subject to an independent opinion of a third party appraiser. Volteo Energie S.p.A., which has a majority interest among the Sellers, is presently going through bankruptcy.

 

The fair value measurement of the fair market value of the Deferred Payment is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement, which reflects the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. The Company estimated the fair value of the Deferred Payment using the discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions include the level and timing of the expected future payment and discount rate consistent with the level of risk and economy in general. The Deferred Payment due to the acquisition of the SPVs is included in Current Liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value of remaining balance is included in interest expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

The estimated fair values of outstanding warrant liability were measured using Black-Scholes valuation models. These valuation models involved using such inputs as the estimated fair value of the underlying stock at the measurement date, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends on stock and expected volatility of the price of the underlying stock. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants was considered a Level 3 measurement. 

 

As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Level 3 liabilities consisted of the Company’s warrant liability.

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $2,548 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $19,183 in negative working capital, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $12,288 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $63,212. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and revenue from operations. Management anticipates their business will require substantial additional investments that have not yet been secured. Management is continuing in the process of fund raising in the private equity and capital markets as the Company will need to finance future activities. Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and revenue from operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

 

NOTE 6 – SHORT TERM LOAN AND DEBENTURES

 

This foregoing summarizes transactions previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed on December 28, 2015, on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2017, on Form 8-K/A filed on December 28, 2017, and on Form 8-K/A filed on April 9, 2018.

 

As reported on Form 8-K/A by the Company on December 28, 2017, on December 23, 2015, the Company completed an offering with six investors (the “2015 Debenture Holders”), thereby issuing $3,000 of our two-year 11% Senior Debentures (the “2015 Debentures”) and warrants to purchase up to 61,544 shares of Common Stock, with 50% of such shares exercisable at a price per share of $6.50 and the other 50% of such shares exercisable at price per share of $9.75 (all such warrants, the “2015 Debenture Warrants”). On March 24, 2017, the Company and five of the nine 2015 Debenture Holders, representing an aggregate principal balance of $2,000, amended the 2015 Debentures to provide that some or all of the principal balance, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the 2015 Debenture Holders’ election. The 2015 Debenture Debentures initially matured on December 22, 2017 (the “2015 Debenture Maturity Date”). Between December 22, 2017 and December 28, 2017, the Company and the 2015 Debenture Holders entered into a letter agreement dated December 21, 2017 (the “First 2015 Debenture Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which (a) the Company and the 2015 Debenture Holders extended the 2015 Debenture Maturity Date to April 3, 2018; (a) the Company agreed to pay to the 2015 Debenture Holders, in the aggregate, $150, of which $30 was paid and $120 was payable on or before April 3, 2018; (c) the Company and the 2015 Debenture Holders amended the exercise price of the 2015 Debenture Warrants to $1.60 per share; and (d) the Company issued to the 2015 Debenture Holders five-year warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 224,550 shares of Common Stock at $1.60 per share (the “First New Warrants”).

 

On May 23, 2018 and May 25, 2018 the Company paid to the Debentures Holders an aggregate of $241, consisting of an extension fee of $150 and interest of $91 for the period ended April 2, 1018. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was required to pay the 2015 Debenture Holders an aggregate of $413, consisting of an extension fee of $30, failure to pay fee of $150 and interest of $233 for the period ended on September 30, 2018. The amount that was due on September 30, 2018 has not been paid as of the date of this report.

Extension of the August 2017 Loan Agreement

 

On August 20, 2017, the Company entered into a 90-day Loan Agreement with Global Smart Cards Inc., an affiliated party of Viskoben Limited to borrow $200 at a quarterly interest rate of ten percent (10.0%). As of December 31, 2017, this note was not paid and extended through February 20, 2018 in consideration of $8. On February 25, 2018, this loan was extended to April 20, 2018 in consideration of $15 and three-year warrants to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock at the lowest price published on Yahoo finance for the seven (7) trading days prior to the holder’s notice of conversion. On August 14, 2018, this loan was further extended for the first to occur of (i) another 100 days from September 20, 2018, (ii) seven calendar days after the Company receives an investment in debt or equity from a third-party of seven calendar days after the closing of the Company’s transaction in The Netherlands. In consideration of the lender’s willingness to so extend, the Company agreed to the following terms: (i) the remaining unpaid Loan accrued Principal unpaid interest and extra payments is $220, which shall bear interest at a fixed interest rate at the monthly rate of three and three-tenths percent (3.3%), (ii) an additional payment to the lender of $30 by September 20, 2018, (iii) the issuance of 40,000 more three-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at a strike price equal to the lowest price published by Yahoo finance during the seven trading days prior to notice to the Company of intent to exercise the warrants and (iv) payment not later than the date on which the outstanding principal amount of the loan is repaid of any amount required to compensate the lender for exchange rate losses based on an exchange rate of USD 1 = NIS 3.63.

 

NOTE 7 – CONTINGENT

 

From time to time the Company may be a party to commercial and litigation matters involving claims against the Company. None of the Company’s directors, officers, nonconsolidated affiliates, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, is involved in a material proceeding adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and no contingent liabilities requiring accrual as of September 30, 2018.

 

Barkats Litigation

 

On October 22, 2016, the law firm of JS Barkats PLLC filed a complaint against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, seeking allegedly unpaid legal fees for services rendered from June 9, 2011 through April 23, 2012 in the amount of $428 (thousands), plus interest for a total of $652 (thousands). This Litigation was filed as JS Barkats PLLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation and Shlomo Palas with the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York, Index No. 655600/2016. On October 26, 2016, without notice to the Company or its Chief Executive Officer or an opportunity to be heard, the New York Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (the “TRO”) in favor JS Barkats PLLC, prohibiting the Company and Mr. Palas from transferring or dissipating any assets up to $652. On October 31, 2016, the Company removed the Barkats Litigation to federal court, filed as JS Barkats PLLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation and Shlomo Palas with the United Stated District Court, Southern District Court of New York, Docket No. 1:16-cv-08404, and on December 6, 2016, Mr. Barkats filed a motion to remand to the New York Court and request for oral argument. The Company terminated the services of JS Barkats LLC in 2012 and management believe the claims brought by JS Barkats PLLC are without merit, that the TRO was improvidently granted, and that JS Barkats PLLC misrepresented, mischaracterized and omitted material facts and the law in seeking the TRO.

 

On July 10, 2017, the Federal Court granted JS Barkats PLLC’s motion to remand the action to the New York Court, but denied JS Barkats PLLC’s request for costs and fees in bringing its remand petition.  The Federal Court did not rule upon whether plaintiff’s complaint should be dismissed and/or the matter compelled to arbitration and did not rule upon Plaintiff’s motion to hold the Company and Mr. Palas in contempt for allegedly violating the TRO. The Federal Court has since remanded the case back to the New York Court where it is currently pending.  On or about May 16, 2018, Plaintiff moved in state court for the entry of a default against the Company and Palas.  The Company and Palas opposed the motion and filed its own cross-motion to compel arbitration and both motions were submitted to the Court on June 6, 2018.  The Court has scheduled oral argument on the motions for January 10, 2019. The Court is unlikely to rule on the motions prior to oral argument.

 

The Company terminated the services of JS Barkats LLC in 2012 and believe the claims brought by JS Barkats PLLC are without merit, that the TRO was improvidently granted, and that JS Barkats PLLC misrepresented, mischaracterized and omitted material facts and the law in seeking the TRO. The Company intend to vigorously defend against this Litigation, the TRO and any other attempts to attach the assets of the Company.

Prassas Litigation

 

On March 15, 2017, Prassas Capital, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, filed a complaint against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking (a) unpaid fees in the amount of $1,607 plus interest, (b) issuance of an order of prejudgment attachment and garnishment on the Company’s bank accounts, other property held by the Company and all payments owed to the Company from third parties, (c) an injunction restraining the Company from transferring funds or property outside of the court’s jurisdiction or alternatively that the court appoint a receiver to manage, operate, control and take possession of the Company’s assets, and (d) a declaration that Prassas Capital, LLC has been granted a contractual right to purchase 53,847 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.50 per share (after giving effect to the reverse stock split described below). This litigation was filed as Prassas Capital, LLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation with the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Civil Action No. 3:17-CV-00131. The Company disputes the allegations and claims, and intends to rigorously defend against this litigation.

 

On April 10, 2017, the Company filed its answer in the Prassas Litigation, denying the underlying factual allegations contained in the complaint and denying the contention that Prassas is entitled to any relief. In addition to filing its answer, the Company (1) moved for the court to dismiss the Prassas Litigation, because of Prassas’ failure to plead one or more essential elements of its claims, and (2) brought against Prassas claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, negligence, unjust enrichment and punitive damages. The Company seeks reimbursement of amounts fraudulently or negligently billed by Prassas and paid by the Company of not less than $833, pre and post judgement interest, attorney’s fees and costs actually incurred in defending the Prassas Litigation.

 

On May 10, 2017, Prassas filed its answer to the Company’s response, whereby Prassas moved for the court to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims alleging that, among other things, the Company did not plead one or more essential elements of its claims.

 

On June 2, 2017, the Company responded by filing with the court its memorandum in opposition to Prassas’ motion dismiss the Company’s counterclaims, and further to motion for a partial judgement on the pleadings of the Company’s counterclaims in the amount of $833, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. 

 

The Company intend to vigorously defend against this Litigation, the TRO and any other attempts to attach the assets of the Company.

 

On March 30, 2018, the Court denied BSC’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and granted Prassas’ motion to dismiss counterclaims.

 

Fact discovery has concluded as of October 31, 2018.  No TRO or other injunctive relief has been granted.  Blue Sphere has moved to amend its Answer to conform with the evidence to include claims for fraud in the inducement and breach of contract.  Prassas has opposed the motion.  Prassas also has filed for summary judgment on some of its claims, which Blue Sphere has opposed. Trial is scheduled to begin on January 7, 2019.

 

Chijnsgoed Note

 

On June 7, 2018, we issued a non-interest bearing convertible note to Bedrijvenpark ‘t Chijnsgoed B.V., a private company with limited liability established in The Netherlands (“Chijnsgoed”) for the principal sum of Euro 282 (the “Chijnsgoed Note”). In connection with the Chijnsgoed Note, we entered into a note purchase agreement. The Chijnsgoed Note matured on September 1, 2018 and was issued as security for the payment of amounts owing under the lease between Chijnsgoed and Blue Sphere Brabant B.V., a subsidiary of the Company (“BSB”), dated October 3, 2016, as amended (the “Lease”), from February 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018 with such amounts being equal to the Principal Amount, as defined in the Chijnsgoed Note  (the “Lease Payment”). If BSB pays the Lease Payment in full on or before the maturity date, then the Chijnsgoed Note will be terminated and of no further force or effect.

 

Chijnsgoed has the right to convert all or part of the Chijnsgoed Note into shares of Common Stock at the market price (as reported on www.bloomberg.com or www.otcmarkets.com) at the time of conversion, in part or in whole at any time and from time to time. Any such conversion will reduce the principal sum and, thus, the number of shares into which the Principal Amount, as defined in the Chijnsgoed Note, may be converted by whatever amount is converted. Conversion of the Chijnsgoed Note into shares of Common Stock is the sole recourse of Chijnsgoed vis-à-vis the Company in the event that BSB does not make the Lease Payment in full on or before the maturity date. In no circumstance will the Company be required to pay or owe to Chijnsgoed any amount in cash. Any principal amount converted into shares of Common Stock will reduce the amount of the Lease Payment accordingly. . Through the date of this Report, Chijnsgoed has not made any communication or taken any action in respect of the Chijnsgoed Note.

 

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the same, filed as exhibits hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Leonite Note No. 2

 

On November 5, 2018 (the “Issue Date”), we issued a 12% senior secured convertible note to Leonite Capital LLC (“Leonite”) for the principal sum of U.S. $2,222 subject to original issue discount of $222 (“Leonite Note No. 2”). The principal amount of Leonite Note No. 2 will be disbursed in four tranches with the disbursement of the first tranche of $500 on the Issue Date and three additional tranches to be disbursed upon the mutual agreement of Leonite and the Company. The maturity date of Tranche 1 shall be the earlier of six (6) months from the Issue Date or a capital raise (or raises) through equity, debt or sale of assets. Additional Tranches shall amortize over a period of eighteen (18) months, with principal and interest paid monthly commencing on the first month after issuance of the first Additional Tranche. Leonite Note No. 2 was issued by the Company to Leonite pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement dated as of November 5, 2018.

 

Leonite Note No. 2 may be prepaid in whole or in part prior to the relevant maturity date, by making a payment to Leonite of an amount in cash equal to 115% and after the relevant maturity date by making a payment to Leonite of an amount in cash equal to 120%, in each case, of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed under the Note plus all unpaid interest thereon.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Note are secured pursuant to the terms of a security and pledge agreement dated November 5, 2018 and a personal guaranty of Shlomi Palas, chief executive officer of the Company.

 

24

 

 

Subject to the following sentence, the principal amount of the first tranche and each additional tranche, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest, penalties, if any, and other fees relating to the Note, shall be due and payable on the relevant maturity date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is obligated to pay to Leonite on an accelerated basis, any outstanding principal amount of Leonite Note No. 2, along with accrued, but unpaid interest, from the following sources of capital:

 

  (1) Future Financing Proceeds – one hundred percent (100%) of the gross cash proceeds of any future financing of the Company, whether debt or equity, or any other financing proceeds, such as cash advances, royalties or earn-out payments up to outstanding principal amount of Leonite Note No. 2, along with accrued, but unpaid interest; and
  (2) Other Future Receipts – all net proceeds from any sale of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or receipt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any tax credits.

 

The outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on Leonite Note No. 2 shall be reduced to reflect the conversion by Leonite of any or all of the principal, interest or other amounts due under Leonite Note No. 2 into shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with its provisions. The conversion price for any conversion shall be, at the option of Leonite, (i) $0.05 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) (subject to adjustment) or (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of Leonite Note No. 2 At any time after any event of default (as defined in Leonite Note No. 2) under Leonite Note No. 2, the conversion price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) 60% multiplied by the lowest bid price of the Common Stock during the twenty-one (21) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the Company receives a notice of conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financings with other investors.

 

Leonite Note No. 2 provides anti-dilution protection to Leonite such that if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for or otherwise entitled any person or entity the right to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Fixed Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the common stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, is entitled to receive shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the conversion price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance, and the Base Conversion Price shall then be adjusted to equal the lowest of such issuance price), then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal the Base Conversion Price as it may be adjusted as provided for above.

 

In connection with Leonite Note No. 2, the Company has covenanted to reserve 800,000,000 shares of its common stock for conversions by Leonite. Failure to reserve such shares within 45 days of the date of Leonite Note No. 2 shall constitute an event of default under Leonite Note No. 2.

 

Any amount of principal, interest, other amounts due thereunder or penalties on Leonite Note No. 2 which is not paid by the relevant maturity date, shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law, from the due date thereof until the same is paid. Additional penalties will be incurred in connection with any event of default, including a $5 per month default monitoring fee, which is payable in cash or shares of common stock a 40% discount to the lowest trade of the ten (10) days preceding the occurrence of the event of default.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries, including Blue Sphere Italy SRL, Eastern Sphere Ltd., Blue Sphere Brabant, B.V., Bino Sphere, LLC and Blue Sphere Pavia SRL (the “Companies”), have also entered into a royalty agreement in favor of Leonite that provides that the Companies, jointly and severally, shall pay to Leonite, as partial consideration of the transactions contemplated by Leonite Note No. 2, a royalty equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of all revenue received by the Company on existing projects, (“Royalty”) promptly upon receipt thereof. The Companies are permitted to defer the Royalty payments one time for four (4) quarters. If Company elects to defer the Royalty payments for such four (4) quarters, the Royalty shall be increased in perpetuity to two and one-half percent (2.5%). 50% of the Royalty shall be earned upon the first tranche and the remaining 50% of the Royalty shall be earned upon further tranches equal in aggregate to $500.

 

25

Company Overview

 

We are an international developer and independent power producer active around the world in the clean energy production and waste to energy markets. We aspire to become a key player in these global markets, working with enterprises with clean energy, waste to energy and related by-product potential to generate clean energy, soil amendments, compost and other by-products. We are currently focusing on projects related to the construction, acquisition or development of biogas facilities in the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Israel. Our business model is based on two main activities: we are a Build, Own & Operate (BOO) company, and we are a strategic acquirer of already constructed and operational facilities.

 

In 2016, pursuant to our BOO business model, we initiated the construction, financing and management of our projects in North Carolina and Rhode Island. Our North Carolina project commenced commercial operations on November 18, 2016, and our Rhode Island project commenced commercial operations on August 24, 2017. Since connecting to the grid in both facilities and because of the EPC’s bankruptcy in 2017 we are continually upgrading and retrofitting both facilities. At the same time, they are accepting and feeding into the system liquid waste to keep AD system alive. We are in the process of hiring new EPC to finish the upgrading and retrofitting in both facilities.

 

In 2015, we initiated our execution strategy by acquiring four Italian subsidiaries (the “SPVs”), each of which owns an operational anaerobic digester with approximately 1 MW of capacity in Italy. Further, in 2017, we acquired another Italian subsidiary, which owns and operates a 0.995 Kw plant for the production of electricity from vegetal oil located in Udine, Italy. We previously applied the equity method of accounting for the SPVs, because our former agreements for the operation of the facilities with our former operator prevented us from exercising a controlling influence over operating policies of the SPVs’ facilities; however, on July 18, 2017 we terminated those agreements, subsequently entered into agreements with a new operator and have since consolidated the SPVs in our financial statements.

 

28

 

 

The foregoing achievements have put a tremendous burden on our human and financial resources. We continue to expand our BOO and strategic acquisition activities and plan to do so in the coming years, which will require adding members to our team and additional capital investments.

 

In the third quarter of 2018 we continue to advance our goals and have managed to achieve certain milestones including; completing the primary development work for our biogas project in Brabant, Netherlands.  We now are working to complete the “financial close” for this project with our investing partners and begin construction.  Additionally, our four biogas facilities in the Pavia region of Italy have performed well in the first quarter of this year.  Each facility is operating above 90% capacity and we are currently exceeding our budgeted goals.  Our business development activities continue to move forward and our development pipeline remains robust.  We have also spent a considerable amount of time in the first quarter working with investors and bankers to find the best financing solutions for Blue Sphere to fully capitalize on the opportunities that industry relationships are presenting to us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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, 2018, we had cash of $2,548 thousand as compared to $1,947 thousandsas of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $19,183 thousands as compared to a deficit of $9,344 thousands as of September 30, 2017. The increase in our working capital deficit is mainly attributable to increase in current maturities of debentures and long-term loans in the amount of $1,220 thousands, increase of account payable and other accounts payable in the amount of $3,406 thousands increase of short term loan in the amount of $726 thousand and increase of $3,103 thousand in deferred payment due to the acquisition of the SPV’s that was presented on September 30, 2017, as a long term liability. 

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $893 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to net cash used in the amount of $2,147 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net cash provided is mainly attributed to depreciation of $1,330 thousand and a decrease in other current assets $1,272 thousands as well as Expense in respect of convertible notes and loans of 3,040 thousands

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $677 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $2,458 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was due to decrease in investment in nonconsolidated subsidiary amounted to $3,040 thousands .

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $1,364 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to approximately $6,143 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to decrease in proceeds from issuance of shares and warrants due to offerings that we conducted.

 

We have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common stock and short terms loans. The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 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.

 

To date, we have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common stock, the issuance of debt, our operations in Italy and development fees received for our North Carolina and Rhode Island projects. Although management anticipates that cash resources will be available to the Company from distributions from the Italians operations, it believes existing cash will not be sufficient to fund planned operations and projects investments through the next twelve months. Therefore, we are still seeking to raise additional funds for future operations and possible project investment, and any meaningful equity or convertible debt financing will likely result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Inflation and Seasonality

 

In management’s opinion, our results of operations have not been materially affected by inflation or seasonality, and management does not expect that inflation risk or seasonality would cause material impact on our operations in the future.

 

31

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to share-based payments and fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as part of the purchase price allocation because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require management to make judgments and estimates about uncertain matters.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As at September 30, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any nature.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

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

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

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) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company 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.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period ended September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that (i) 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 SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to ensure that information required to be disclosed has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this issue, and in the process of developing procedures to address it to the extent possible given limitations in financial and human resources in and to remediate all the material weaknesses by the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation to determine whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period ended September 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

Barkats Litigation

 

On October 22, 2016, the law firm of JS Barkats PLLC filed a complaint against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, seeking allegedly unpaid legal fees for services rendered from September 9, 2011 through April 23, 2012 in the amount of $428 (thousands), plus interest for a total of $652 (thousands). This Litigation was filed as JS Barkats PLLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation and Shlomo Palas with the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York, Index No. 655600/2016. On October 26, 2016, without notice to the Company or its Chief Executive Officer or an opportunity to be heard, the New York Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (the “TRO”) in favor JS Barkats PLLC, prohibiting the Company and Mr. Palas from transferring or dissipating any assets up to $652. On October 31, 2016, the Company removed the Barkats Litigation to federal court, filed as JS Barkats PLLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation and Shlomo Palas with the United Stated District Court, Southern District Court of New York, Docket No. 1:16-cv-08404, and on December 6, 2016, Mr. Barkats filed a motion to remand to the New York Court and request for oral argument. The Company terminated the services of JS Barkats LLC in 2012 and management believe the claims brought by JS Barkats PLLC are without merit, that the TRO was improvidently granted, and that JS Barkats PLLC misrepresented, mischaracterized and omitted material facts and the law in seeking the TRO.

 

On July 10, 2017, the Federal Court granted JS Barkats PLLC’s motion to remand the action to the New York Court, but denied JS Barkats PLLC’s request for costs and fees in bringing its remand petition.  The Federal Court did not rule upon whether plaintiff’s complaint should be dismissed and/or the matter compelled to arbitration and did not rule upon Plaintiff’s motion to hold the Company and Mr. Palas in contempt for allegedly violating the TRO. The Federal Court has since remanded the case back to the New York Court where it is currently pending.  On or about May 16, 2018, Plaintiff moved in state court for the entry of a default against the Company and Palas.  The Company and Palas opposed the motion and filed its own cross-motion to compel arbitration and both motions were submitted to the Court on September 6, 2018. The Court has scheduled oral argument on the motions for January 10, 2019. The Court is unlikely to ruled on the motions prior to oral argument.

 

The Company terminated the services of JS Barkats LLC in 2012 and believe the claims brought by JS Barkats PLLC are without merit, that the TRO was improvidently granted, and that JS Barkats PLLC misrepresented, mischaracterized and omitted material facts and the law in seeking the TRO. The Company intend to vigorously defend against this Litigation, the TRO and any other attempts to attach the assets of the Company.

 

Prassas Litigation

 

On March 15, 2017, Prassas Capital, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, filed a complaint against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking (a) unpaid fees in the amount of $1,607 plus interest, (b) issuance of an order of prejudgment attachment and garnishment on the Company’s bank accounts, other property held by the Company and all payments owed to the Company from third parties, (c) an injunction restraining the Company from transferring funds or property outside of the court’s jurisdiction or alternatively that the court appoint a receiver to manage, operate, control and take possession of the Company’s assets, and (d) a declaration that Prassas Capital, LLC has been granted a contractual right to purchase 53,847 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.50 per share (after giving effect to the reverse stock split described below). This litigation was filed as Prassas Capital, LLC v. Blue Sphere Corporation with the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Civil Action No. 3:17-CV-00131. The Company disputes the allegations and claims, and intends to rigorously defend against this litigation.

 

On April 10, 2017, the Company filed its answer in the Prassas Litigation, denying the underlying factual allegations contained in the complaint and denying the contention that Prassas is entitled to any relief. In addition to filing its answer, the Company (1) moved for the court to dismiss the Prassas Litigation, because of Prassas’ failure to plead one or more essential elements of its claims, and (2) brought against Prassas claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, negligence, unjust enrichment and punitive damages. The Company seeks reimbursement of amounts fraudulently or negligently billed by Prassas and paid by the Company of not less than $833, pre and post judgement interest, attorney’s fees and costs actually incurred in defending the Prassas Litigation.

 

On May 10, 2017, Prassas filed its answer to the Company’s response, whereby Prassas moved for the court to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims alleging that, among other things, the Company did not plead one or more essential elements of its claims.

 

On September 2, 2017, the Company responded by filing with the court its memorandum in opposition to Prassas’ motion dismiss the Company’s counterclaims, and further to motion for a partial judgement on the pleadings of the Company’s counterclaims in the amount of $833, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. 

 

The Company intend to vigorously defend against this Litigation, the TRO and any other attempts to attach the assets of the Company.

 

On March 30, 2018, the Court denied BSC’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and granted Prassas’ motion to dismiss counterclaims.

 

Fact discovery has concluded as of October 31, 2018.  No TRO or other injunctive relief has been granted.  Blue Sphere has moved to amend its Answer to conform with the evidence to include claims for fraud in the inducement and breach of contract.  Prassas has opposed the motion.  Prassas also has filed for summary judgment on some of its claims, which Blue Sphere has opposed. Trial is scheduled to begin on January 7, 2019.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

 

The Labrys Note is in default due to the Company’s failure to pay principal and interest when due. Through the date of this Report, there is $62 in outstanding principal and $3 in accrued and unpaid interest. Since the maturity date of this note, July 1, 2018, the Labrys Note has been bearing interest at the default rate of 24% per annum. Other penalties have been triggered, including, but not limited to, the addition of $15 in principal, which has been added to the outstanding principal amount due under the Labrys Note.

 

The foregoing description of the Labrys Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the same, filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2018, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Chijnsgoed Note is in default due to the Company’s failure to pay the principal amount of the note on its maturity date, September, 1, 2018. The Chijnsgoed Note does not contain any events of default provisions, although the noteholder has the right to convert all or part of the Chijnsgoed Note into shares of Common Stock at the market price (as reported on www.bloomberg.com or www.otcmarkets.com) at the time of conversion, in part or in whole at any time and from time to time. Any such conversion will reduce the principal sum and, thus, the number of shares into which the Principal Amount, as defined in the Chijnsgoed Note, may be converted by whatever amount is converted. Conversion of the Chijnsgoed Note into shares of Common Stock is the sole recourse of Chijnsgoed vis-à-vis the Company in the event that the note is not paid in full on or before the maturity date.

Leonite Note No. 2

 

On November 5, 2018 (the “Issue Date”), we issued a 12% senior secured convertible note to Leonite Capital LLC (“Leonite”) for the principal sum of U.S. $2,222 subject to original issue discount of $222 (“Leonite Note No.2”). The principal amount of the Leonite Note will be disbursed in four tranches with the disbursement of the first tranche of $500 on the Issue Date and three additional tranches to be disbursed upon the mutual agreement of Leonite and the Company. The maturity date of Tranche 1 shall be the earlier of six (6) months from the Issue Date or a capital raise (or raises) through equity, debt or sale of assets. Additional Tranches shall amortize over a period of eighteen (18) months, with principal and interest paid monthly commencing on the first month after issuance of the first Additional Tranche. Leonite Note No. 2 was issued by the Company to Leonite pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement dated as of November 5, 2018.

 

Leonite Note No. 2 may be prepaid in whole or in part prior to the relevant maturity date, by making a payment to Leonite of an amount in cash equal to 115% and after the relevant maturity date by making a payment to Leonite of an amount in cash equal to 120%, in each case, of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed under the Note plus all unpaid interest thereon.

 

The obligations of the Company under Leonite Note No. 2 are secured pursuant to the terms of a security and pledge agreement dated November 5, 2018 and a personal guaranty of Shlomi Palas, chief executive officer of the Company.

 

36

 

 

Subject to the following sentence, the principal amount of the first tranche and each additional tranche, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest, penalties, if any, and other fees relating to the Note, shall be due and payable on the relevant maturity date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is obligated to pay to Leonite on an accelerated basis, any outstanding principal amount of Leonite Note No. 2, along with accrued, but unpaid interest, from the following sources of capital:

 

  (1) Future Financing Proceeds – one hundred percent (100%) of the gross cash proceeds of any future financing of the Company, whether debt or equity, or any other financing proceeds, such as cash advances, royalties or earn-out payments up to outstanding principal amount of Leonite Note, No. 2 along with accrued, but unpaid interest; and
  (2) Other Future Receipts – all net proceeds from any sale of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or receipt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any tax credits.

 

The outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on Leonite Note No.2 shall be reduced to reflect the conversion by Leonite of any or all of the principal, interest or other amounts due under the Leonite Note into shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with its provisions. The conversion price for any conversion shall be, at the option of Leonite, (i) $0.05 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) (subject to adjustment) or (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of Leonite Note No. 2. At any time after any event of default (as defined in Leonite Note No. 2) under Leonite Note No. 2, the conversion price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) 60% multiplied by the lowest bid price of the Common Stock during the twenty-one (21) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the Company receives a notice of conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financings with other investors.

 

Leonite Note No. 2 provides anti-dilution protection to Leonite such that if the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for or otherwise entitled any person or entity the right to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Fixed Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the common stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, is entitled to receive shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the conversion price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance, and the Base Conversion Price shall then be adjusted to equal the lowest of such issuance price), then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal the Base Conversion Price as it may be adjusted as provided for above.

 

In connection with the Leonite Note, the Company has covenanted to reserve 800,000,000 shares of its common stock for conversions by Leonite. Failure to reserve such shares within 45 days of the date of the Leonite Note shall constitute an event of default under the Leonite Note.

 

Any amount of principal, interest, other amounts due thereunder or penalties on Leonite Note No. 2, which is not paid by the relevant maturity date, shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law, from the due date thereof until the same is paid. Additional penalties will be incurred in connection with any event of default, including a $5 per month default monitoring fee, which is payable in cash or shares of common stock a 40% discount to the lowest trade of the ten (10) days preceding the occurrence of the event of default.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries, including Blue Sphere Italy SRL, Eastern Sphere Ltd., Blue Sphere Brabant, B.V., Bino Sphere, LLC and Blue Sphere Pavia SRL (the “Companies”), have also entered into a royalty agreement in favor of Leonite that provides that the Companies, jointly and severally, shall pay to Leonite, as partial consideration of the transactions contemplated by Leonite Note No. 2, a royalty equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of all revenue received by the Company on existing projects, (“Royalty”) promptly upon receipt thereof. The Companies are permitted to defer the Royalty payments one time for four (4) quarters. If Company elects to defer the Royalty payments for such four (4) quarters, the Royalty shall be increased in perpetuity to two and one-half percent (2.5%). 50% of the Royalty shall be earned upon the first tranche and the remaining 50% of the Royalty shall be earned upon further tranches equal in aggregate to $500.

 

37
