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.

Note 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 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.

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.

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.
