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.

|
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.
In 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

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.
In 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 June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018,
are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018, and public business entities
with fiscal years beginning between June 15, 2018, and December 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments before adopting
the amendments in Update 2016-01. For all other entities, the effective date is the same as the effective date in Update 2016-01.
All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within
those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01.

Per
the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Italy Projects Agreement”) with Volteo Energie S.p.A., Agriholding S.r.l., and
Overland S.r.l. (“the Sellers”) 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 35% of the remaining balance.
|
On
July 21, 2017, the Company notified the sellers its current deferred payment estimates pursuant to Article 3.03 of the Italy Projects
Agreement regulating the “Deferred payment adjustment mechanism”. On July 28, 2017, the Sellers notified the Company
that they do not agree with the Company’s estimate.
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.

4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
Warrant
Liability - 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 March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Level 3 liabilities consisted of the Company’s warrant liability.

5 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31,
2018, the Company had approximately $2,733 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $15,249 in negative working capital, a
stockholders’ deficit of approximately $3,057 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $52,506. 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.

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 $3,000,000 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 six 2015 Debenture Holders, representing an aggregate
principal balance of $2,000,000, 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, $150,000, of which $30,000 was paid and $120,000 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”).
Extension
of February and August 2017 Loan Agreement
On
February 7, 2017, the Company entered into a 90-day Loan Agreement with Viskoben Limited to borrow $200,000 at a quarterly interest
rate of ten percent (10.0%), or thirty percent (30.0%) if calculated annually. On June 27, 2017, the Loan was fully paid by the
Company. 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 $200,000 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 $7,600. On February 25, 2018, this loan was extended to
April 20, 2018 in consideration of $15,000 and three-year warrants to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock at the lowest

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 Company’s 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 December 31, 2017.
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.
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.
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 $1,601 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
August 22, 2017, the Company received a letter from the Division of Enforcement, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). The letter requested that the Company voluntarily provide documents and other information relating to whether
the unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed on February 22,
2016 and May 23, 2016 were reviewed by an independent public accounting firm in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards
No. 100, as required by Rule 10-01(d) and 8-03 of SEC Regulation S-X. The Financial Statements were not reviewed, which was disclosed
in detailed explanatory notes included with the Non-Reviewed Filings at the time of filing. The inability of the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm to complete a review of the Financial Statements was the result of obstacles to
obtaining records from four facilities in Italy acquired by Bluesphere Pavia S.r.l., the Company wholly-owned Italian subsidiary,
on December 14, 2015. The Company thereafter amended the Non-Reviewed Filings on May 23, 2016 and June 13, 2016, respectively,
to file its interim financial statements following review by the Company’s independent auditors.
