WESTSPHERE
ASSET CORPORATION, INC.
Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September
30, 2009 and 2008
(Unaudited)
Note
1 – Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
The
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived
from audited financial statements and the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim
financial information and the interim reporting requirements of Regulation
S-X. The accompanying consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”)
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. In management's opinion, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain information and
footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and Westsphere Asset
Corporation, Inc. believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2008 audited financial
statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management
believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are
reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the
facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by Westsphere
Asset Corporation, Inc. later in the year. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full year. In management’s opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim
periods included.
The
Company’s primary business is the sale and operation of cash vending (ATM) and
point of sale (POS) machines in Canada.
There is
no provision for dividends for the quarter to which this quarterly report
relates.
Note
2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Codification 9/15/2009
Topic 260 (ASC 260)– ASC 260 superseded FASB Staff Position No. EITF
03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities, Which was issued in June 2008. ASC 260 addresses whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings
allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method
described in ASC 260. ASC 260 requires companies to treat unvested
share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or
dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings
per share. EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential
effect of adoption of the ASC 260 on its financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Standard, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The standard identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles will become
effective 60 days following Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company does not anticipate the any material impact on
its financial statements.
FASB Codification 9/15/2009
Topic 350 (ASC 350) – ASC 350 superseded FASB Staff Position No. 142-3
(“FSP No. 142-3”), Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets, which was issued in April 2008. ASC 350 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The standard
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is
currently assessing the potential effect of the adoption of ASC 350 on its
financial statements.
9
FASB Codification 9/15/2009
Topic 815 (ASC 815)– ASC 815 superseded the FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS No. 161”), Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was issued in March 2008, SFAS No. 161 amends and
expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company believes that the
adoption of ASC 815 will not have a material impact on its financial
statements.
The above
pronouncements are not currently expected to have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
Note
3 – Reclassifications
Certain
amounts have been reclassified in 2008 to conform with 2009
presentation.
Note
4 - Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company
considers accounts more than 180 days old to be past due. The Company uses
the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed
uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance.
Note
5 – Inventory
Inventory
consists primarily of cash vending and POS machines, which are valued at the
lesser of cost (on a first-in, first-out method) or net realizable
value.
Note
6 – Deferred Costs
In order
for Westsphere’s subsidiaries to remain competitive in the marketplace,
Westsphere, through its subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. has successfully
gained membership into the Canadian Interac Association as an
Acquirer. This will enable the direct processing of ATM, POS and
other transactions for its other subsidiaries, Vencash and Trac
POS. Westsphere has sourced out an industry leader, ACI Worldwide,
and invested in the development and ongoing support required to facilitate the
processing of transactions. Westsphere Systems Inc. will process all
transactions through its association with ACI thereby eliminating the costs,
restrictions, and potential risks of relying on third party
processors. Most importantly, the investment in the processor, or
switch, will also enable Westsphere’s direct entry into new and emerging markets
such as card management and processing.

8 – Discontinued Operations
Results
of Discontinued Operations
On May 4,
2009 TRAC was served with a Notice of Intention to Enforce a Security Form 86
(Rule 124) a precursor to placing TRAC into receivership. This Notice
was served on behalf of the Trustees of the estate of June Barr, the holder of a
TRAC loan agreement secured by a General Security Agreement registered under the
Alberta Personal Property Protection Act.
As a
result Westsphere initiated a similar action to secure its loan to TRAC which
also was secured by a General Security Agreement registered under the Alberta
Personal Property Protection Act. TRAC subsequently turned over
the business operations, books and records to the appointed receiver in
bankruptcy after the termination of TRAC business operations on May 5,
2009. On August 11, 2009, Notice was given to Westsphere of a first
creditor’s meeting which will be held on August 27, 2009 whereby Westsphere was
listed as a secured creditor under the TRAC bankruptcy.
TRAC
business related to the sale and processing of Point of Sale Equipment which ran
at a continual loss historically and will have no impact on Westsphere’s
continuing operations.
At this
time the assets of TRAC are with the court appointed receiver and control of
TRAC by Westsphere ended on May 5, 2009. No financial reporting for
the 2nd and
3rd
quarter.

Plan
of Operations
Results
of Operations – Three Month Period
During
the three (3) month period of operations ending September 30, 2009, Westsphere
and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $75,371, while a net loss of
$121,757 was realized for the same period from the previous year. The
decrease in net loss of $46,386 over the same period from the previous year was
caused by the loss on the disposal of POS component, net of tax of $11,895, a
decrease in consulting fees of $20,752, a decrease in salaries and benefits of
$27,306, a decrease in travel, delivery and vehicle expenses of $10,254, a
decrease in other expenses of $31,685, and a decrease in interest expense of
$5,836. The decrease in net loss was partially offset against a
decrease in gross profit of $40,682 and an increase in depreciation and
amortization of $11,675 over the same period from the previous
year.
On May 4,
2009 Westsphere’s majority controlled subsidiary TRAC was served with a Notice
of Intention to Enforce a Security Form 86 (Rule 124) which is basically a
notice to place TRAC into receivership by the trustees of the estate of June
Barr of $165,155 has an interest rate of 18% per annum.
The
outstanding claim being initiated by the Barr trustees which represents
compounded interest on principal of $93,572 ($116,923 CDN). In
addition Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. will also be filing a Notice of
Intention to Enforce a Security Form 86 (Rule 124) for $158,716 reflecting
simple interest on its loans to TRAC of $102,235 ($127,748 CDN).
The
assets of TRAC are with the court appointed receiver and control of TRAC by
Westsphere ended on May 5, 2009. No financial reporting for the
2nd
and 3rd
quarter. Westsphere has been notified of the first meeting of the
creditors scheduled for August 27, 2009 at which time Westsphere Director Robert
L. Robins name will be presented to act as an Inspector under the
bankruptcy. On September 16, 2009 Westsphere has been notified by the
appointed receiver of the offering for sale in a sealed, tender bid process, the
assets of TRAC. The offers will be accepted until October 9,
2009. TRAC’s assets is sold and all the proceed uses to repaid the
first secured creditor.
The
decrease in consulting fees was mainly caused by an elimination of consulting
fees to Vice President and other subcontractors.
The
decrease in salaries and benefits was primarily due to the deletion of three
positions during the year 2008: Sale manager, and two junior
accountants.
The
decrease in other expenses was primarily caused by the decrease in
rent. The decrease in rent was primarily due to Westsphere moved to
the new premise during the second quarter and paid lower rent.
The
decrease in gross profit was mainly caused by the increase in other cost of
sales of $112,493. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset
against the increase in other revenue of $83,666.
The
increase in other cost of sales was related to the switch
operations. Westsphere has officially launched its switch in January
2009 and commence rollover of ATMs to process all transactions through its
association with ACI. As of November 9, 2009, 555 ATM’s were under
Westsphere Systems processing.
The
significant increase in other revenue was caused by the overpayment from the
finance/lease program to the major ATM supplier. This is due to
changes within the organization of a major ATM supplier where they mistakenly
continued to charge on ATMs that are already paid in full.
The
decrease in interest expense was due to the pay down of the balance owed to the
loans payable during the year.

receiver and control of TRAC by Westsphere ended on May 5, 2009. No
financial reporting for the 2nd and
3rd
quarter. On September 16, 2009 Westsphere has been notified by the
appointed receiver of the offering for sale in a sealed, tender bid process, the
assets of TRAC. The offers will be accepted until October 9,
2009. Thereafter, TRAC’s assets is sold and all the proceed uses to
repaid the first secured creditor.
The
decrease in net of residual and interchange income for the nine (9) month period
was mainly caused by a decrease in the number of placements of ATMs in the
latter part of year 2007 to present. The decrease in the number of
placements was due to Westsphere’s subsidiary Vencash no longer having the
finance/lease program available offered by an ATM supplier to place more ATMs in
the market place at a lower cost. This is due to changes within the
organization of a major Vencash ATM supplier, equipment and supply agreements
along with related transaction processing agreements signed in the latter part
of year 2006 that are presently in dispute.
The
increase in other cost of sales for the nine (9) month period was related to the
switch operations. Westsphere has officially launched its switch in
January 2009 and commence rollover of ATMs to process all transactions through
its association with ACI. As of November 9, 2009, 555 ATM’s were
under Westsphere Systems processing.
The
significant increase in other revenue for the nine (9) month period was caused
by the overpayment from the finance/lease program to the major ATM
supplier. This is due to changes within the organization of a major
ATM supplier where they mistakenly continued to charge on ATMs that are already
paid in full.
The
decrease in consulting fees for the nine (9) month period was mainly caused by
an elimination of consulting fees to Vice President and other
subcontractors.
The
decrease in salaries and benefits for the nine (9) month period was primarily
due to the deletion of three positions during the year 2008: Sale
manager, and two junior accountants.
The
decrease in travel, delivery and vehicle expenses for the nine (9) month period
was caused by a decrease in number of placement of ATMs in the
marketplace. The decrease in the number of placements was due to
Westsphere’s subsidiary Vencash no longer having the finance/lease program
available offered by an ATM supplier to place more ATMs in the market place at a
lower cost. This is due to changes within the organization of a major
Vencash ATM supplier, equipment and supply agreements along with related
transaction processing agreements signed in the latter part of year 2006 that
are presently in dispute.
The
decrease in other expenses for the nine (9) month period was primarily caused by
the decrease in bad debt expense of $9,879 and a decrease in
rent. The decrease in rent was primarily due to Westsphere moved to
the new premise during the second quarter and paid lower rent.
The
decrease in interest expense for the nine (9) month period was due to the pay
down of the balance owed to the loans payable during the year.
To this
date, 733 ATM sites are being processed between three switches.

result of restructured, reorganized, and consolidation of all its operations as

On July
10, 2009, the Company entered into negotiations with Yaletown Capital, Inc. to
purchase the assets of Yaletown Capital, Inc., a private company involved in
secured financing of tax credits and distribution contracts for film and
television (“Yaletown”). As part of the proposed transaction, we
agreed to segregate our historical assets and operations and distribute them to
our shareholders, pro-rata, in a spin-off. There is no assurance that
the transaction will be consummated or consummated in the manner currently
contemplated in the Letter of Intent and the proposed transaction is subject to
the Yaletown principals raising capital to meet the financial terms and
conditions of the Letter of Intent. Accordingly, pro forma financial
information is not presented.
On
October 28, 2009, Westsphere’s board of directors has withdrawn and terminated
ongoing efforts to purchase the assets of Yaletown Capital Corporation as well
as related negotiations related to the Yaletown asset purchase. The
decisions are based on the discussions and review with the management of
Yaletown Capital Corporation as well as advice from Westphere’s legal and
financial advisors the Board believes that the Yaletown asset purchase is not in
the best interests of Westsphere at this time.

Stockholders' Equity of negative $798,284 compared with negative working capital
of $757,706 and Stockholders' Equity of negative $459,859 as of December 31,
2008. The Company’s working capital has increased principally as a
result of a significant increase in cash of $520,256, an increase in accounts
receivable of $153,528, an increase in inventory of $50,968, a decrease in net
liabilities of discontinued operations of $295,622, and a decrease in the
current portion of loans of $25,888. The increases in working capital
are partially offset against a decrease in prepaid expense and deposit of
$50,836, an increase in accounts payable of $591,604, and an increase in
indebtedness to related parties of $37,435.
The
increase in accounts payable is mainly due to the switch operations which was
launched in January 2009 and commence rollover of ATMs to process all
transactions.
Stockholders'
Equity decreased as a result of a net loss for the nine (9) months ended
September 30, 2009 of $845,552, the adjustment to disposition of Trac’s
investment of $584,275, and the adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive
income of $77,148.

negative $591,222, compared to the use of net cash in the amount of $165,756
during the same period from the previous year. This decrease in the use of net

operations in other non-cash transactions of $295,622, an increase in net loss
of $484,920, an increase in accounts receivable of 263,420, and an increase in
inventory of $54,545. The increase in the use of net cash is

and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$613,591.

and a collection of loan receivable of $9,512.

partially offset against the repayment of debt of $53,155.
Liquidity
Westsphere
and its subsidiaries currently did not generate sufficient revenues to meet
overhead needs. This is due to Westsphere switch operations which was
launched in January 2009 and commence rollover of ATMs to process all
transactions. The switch operations currently did not generate
sufficient revenue to cover it expenses. Westsphere believes that
until the rollover of ATMs is completed, the switch operations will generate
sufficient revenues to meet it overhead needs. This is due to
Westsphere will process all transactions through its association with ACI
thereby eliminating the costs, restrictions, and potential risks of relying on
third party processors. Westsphere expects the rollover of ATMs to be
completed by the end of this year. As of November 9, 2009, 555 ATM’s
or 76% were under Westsphere Systems processing.
In
addition, Westsphere continues experiencing a steady decrease in gross profit;
specifically in the residual and interchange income. Management
recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to
continue operations. Management intends to raise additional funds
through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems
necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in
its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
Westsphere
believes that the Corporations subsidiaries upon restructuring, reorganization
and consolidation combined with continued investment from related parties and
outside investors will continue to produce sufficient ongoing funding to meet
its current and future financial requirements. The completion of the
reorganization and restructuring is expecting to be completed by the end of this
year.
In order
to meet its growth plan, Westsphere will continue to be dependent on equity
funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. Westsphere
believes that it will continue as a going concern with the present revenues from
its subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. and loan advanced by the related parties
but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further
funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Westsphere Systems
Inc.
18
As
mentioned above, Westsphere believes that its subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc.
will generates sufficient ongoing revenues once the rollover of ATMs is
completed and loan advanced by the related parties to ensure that Westsphere is
a going concern.
