Basis of Presentation
AmMex Gold Mining Corp. changed its name to Wind Works Power Corp. (the Company) on March 25, 2009. The Company, incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, was primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties, but has since modified its business plan to focus on alternate energy. The Company intends to develop wind parks. It will assemble land packages, secure requisite environmental permitting, provide wind testing by erecting towers to measure wind speed. Subject to favorable wind testing results, it will then apply for a power contract for the number of megawatts (MW) that the project will allow. Once it secures power contracts, management believes that it will be able to lease or sell the wind parks to operating utility companies or companies desiring to purchase wind turbines and erect the necessary power lines.
Effective January 31, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Zero Emissions People LLC. According to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the above noted acquisition is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Zero Emissions People LLC for the net monetary assets of the Company accompanied by a recapitalization and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or intangible asset is recorded. All material inter-company balances and transaction have been eliminated. The September 30, 2009 comparative figures are the September 30, 2009 financial statements of Zero Emissions People LLC (note 10).
Going Concern
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenue and expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.
The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of common stock and the issuance of convertible debentures. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Companys ability to complete additional equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Managements plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. While the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated interim financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The principal accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Capitalized Lease Cost
Capitalized lease cost represents the cost of taking over land leases located on the Companys Grey Highlands Wind Park. Capital lease cost is amortized over the term of the operating leases taken over. During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized amortization of $2,733 (2009 - $nil).
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a declining balance basis at a rate of 20% per annum.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Wind Farm Developmental Properties
The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It was primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties, but has since modified its business plan to focus on alternate energy. The Company expenses all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of developmental wind farms in which it has secured rights prior to establishment of commercial feasibility. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its projects; therefore, all development costs are being expensed. Developmental wind farm acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying cost for impairment under ASC 360-10 Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a wind farm property can be economically developed, the costs then incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the project. If developmental wind farm properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, using the asset and liability method. Pursuant to ASC 340 the company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future period and accordingly is offset by a valuation allowance. ASC 340 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken into in tax returns.
To the extent interest and penalties may be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts would have been accrued and are classified as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar. The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and the European Euro. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
The financial statements the subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)
Comprehensive Income
ASC 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As at September 30, 2010 and 2009 the Companys only component of comprehensive income is foreign currency translation adjustments.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company has adopted ASC 410-20, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognizable over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Companys credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate. To date, no material asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of the Companys wind development projects. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.
Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against statements of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The Company does not anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Stock Issued in Exchange for Services
The valuation of the Companys common stock issued in exchange for services is valued at an estimated fair market value as determined by officers and directors of the Company based upon trading prices of the Companys common stock on the dates of the stock transactions. The corresponding expense of the services rendered is recognized over the period that the services are performed.
2.
Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
Convertible Debentures
The Company accounts for convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 470-20. The allocation of proceeds on the issuance of debt with detachable warrants is allocated between the debt and the warrants based on the relative fair value of the two instruments at their time of issuance. Beneficial conversion features embedded in debt instruments are recognized separately according to ASC 470-20-25-5 and are measured at their intrinsic value.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued ASC 845. ASC 845 delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of ASC 845 are effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
|
The following table sets forth the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
|
| Fair Value at September 30, 2010 | June 30, 2010 | ||
Assets | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ |
Cash equivalents | 132,763 | 132,763 | - | - | 39,263 |
Accounts receivable Convertible debenture receivable | 15,895 50,000 | 15,895 50,000 | - - | - - | 2,498 - |
Due from shareholder Loan receivable | 1,850 2,720 | 1,850 2,720 | - - | - - | 1,850 - |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 1,641,264 | 1,641,264 | - | - | 2,476,433 |
Short term loan | 259,796 | 259,796 | - | - | 100,000 |
Convertible debentures | 918,172 | - | - | 918,172 | 385,216 |
The carrying value of accounts receivable, due from shareholder, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short term loans approximates their fair value due to their short term nature. The Companys cash equivalents and GIC are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. VAT receivable represent amounts due from a national government regarding refund of taxes.
The estimated fair value of the convertible debentures accounted for as liabilities was determined using the relative fair value basis of the convertible debentures and warrants issued. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following inputs:
| September 30, 2010 |
Risk free interest rate | 0.25 0.98% |
Expected life of warrants | 1-2 years |
Expected stock price volatility | 106 - 110% |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |

Accounting Standards Adopted
(i)
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 805 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805 significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under ASC 805, changes in an acquired entity's deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. ASC 805 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted ASC 805 on July 1, 2009. This standard will change the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810, No controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (ASC 810), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. ASC 810 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted ASC 810 on July 1, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(ii)
ASC 815
In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC 815). ASC 815 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has adopted ASC 815 on July 1, 2009. Adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(iii) ASC 460
In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 460, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60." (ASC 460) requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. ASC 460 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
The Company adopted ASC 460 on July 1, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operation.
3.
Accounting Standards Adopted (Continued)
(iv) ASC 855
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, "Subsequent Events," which establishes general standards for accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The pronouncement requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date and whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective with interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 855on July 1, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
(v) ASC 105-10-05
In July 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105-20-05, "FASB Accounting Standards Codification" ("ASC 105-10-05"), as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in ASC 105-
10-05. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC 105-10-05 but does not expect the adoption of ASC 105-10-05 to impact the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
(vi) ASC 470-20
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP 14-1). FSP 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB Statement No. 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP 14-1 are not addressed by the existing APB 14. FSP 14-1 would require that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP 14-1 be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This will require an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component would be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instruments expected life using the effective interest method. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(ii) ASC 860
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement (ASC 860). ASC 860 is intended to establish standards of financial reporting for the transfer of assets to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability. ASC 860 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 860 on July 1, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 860 has no impact on its consolidated interim financial statements.
4.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(i) ASC 810
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (ASC 810). ASC 810 eliminates the exception to consolidate a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and requires companies to more frequently re-assess whether they must consolidate variable interest entities. Under the new guidance, the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is identified qualitatively as the enterprise that has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. ASC 810
becomes effective for the Companys fiscal 2011 year-end and interim reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect ASC 810 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Convertible Debentures
On November 25, 2009 the Company issued $992,000 of convertible debt in a subscription agreement between the Company and a group of investors. The debt carries an interest rate of 10% annually, due upon the maturity date, November 30, 2010. The debt may be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.70 per share. In conjunction with the debt, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share that expire on November 30, 2011. The fair value of the warrants is $0.53 per share as calculated using the Black-Scholes method. Assumptions include the stock price at $1.14 with a maturity date of 1 year and an interest rate of 0.48%. The debt carries a beneficial conversion feature, which along with the relative fair value of the warrants, resulted in a debt discount of $967,076 which was recorded against the convertible debt and offset in additional paid in capital. During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized $241,769 of accretion interest on the debt.
On April 29, 2010, the Company agreed to modify to the terms of the convertible debentures listed above. Under the modified debentures, the conversion price of the debentures was reduced to $0.40 per share. In addition, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.50 per share and the expiry date of the warrants was extended to November 30, 2012.
As a result of the above modification, the Company reported a loss of $564,130 for the extinguishment of debt relative to the original beneficial conversion feature and debt discount. At April 29, 2010, a new debt discount of $992,300 was recorded against the convertible debt and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. During the period ended September 30, 2010 the Company recognized $425,271 of accretion interest on the debt.
On March 31, 2010 the Company issued $275,000 of convertible debt in a subscription agreement between the Company and a group of investors.

In conjunction with the debt, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 575,000 common shares with an exercise price of $0.75 per share that expire on March 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrants is $0.21 per share as calculated using the Black-Scholes method. Assumptions include the stock price at $0.59 with a maturity date of 1 year and effective interest rate of 0.96%. The debt carries a beneficial conversion feature, which along with the relative fair value of the warrants, resulted in a debt discount of $214,421 which was recorded against the convertible debt and offset in additional paid in capital. During the period ended September 30, 2010 the Company recognized $53,605 of accretion interest on the debt.
During the year ended June 30, 2010 the Company received notice of conversion for $25,000 in principal of convertible debentures resulting in the issuance of 62,500 shares of common stock.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value warrants granted. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded warrants. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be a representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation, the following assumptions were used:
| September 30, 2010 | June 30, 2010 |
Risk free interest rate | 0.25% | 0.48% - 0.96% |

Employee Stock Option Plan
On July 12, 2007, the board and shareholders approved the 2007/2008 Stock Incentive & Compensation Plan thereby reserving 6,000,000 common shares for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The significant details of the plan are as follows:
·
All employees and consultants of the company are eligible to be granted stock options;
·

Stock Based Compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation, the following assumptions were used:
| September 30, 2010 | June 30, 2010 |
Risk free interest rate | - | 0.60% |
Expected dividend yield | - | 0% |
Expected stock price volatility | - | 110% |

Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
Background
Our business strategy is to pursue opportunities in wind energy. We intend to develop wind farms We will assemble land packages (Wind Farms), secure requisite environmental permitting, provide wind testing for a one year period by erecting towers to measure wind speed. Subject to favorable wind testing results, we then apply for power contracts for the number of megawatts (MW) that our land position will allow. Once we secure power contracts, we believe that we will be able to lease or sell the Wind Farms to operating utility companies or companies desiring to purchase wind turbines and erect the necessary power lines.
The development of a wind farm involves many steps and can take years before coming to fruition. Development in this context means the securing and maintenance of land sites for the proposed turbine locations by ways and according to the terms of the respective land lease or easement agreements, planning and conducting of all necessary environmental studies such as environmental screenings, noise assessments, visual assessments and avian and floral assessments assemblance which is required for the Environmental approval. Environmental approval is necessary to obtain building permit for the wind farms. Further development encompasses liaison with various Aboriginal and First Nations groups as well as consultations with provincial and federal agencies in order to obtain any permits that may be required for any such project.
In addition to environmental approval and consultations we have to engage in the planning and commissioning of all technical reports and engineering drawings and layouts of the planned projects in regards to the construction of the actual wind farm and any auxiliary structures such as transmission lines that are necessary to operate the wind farm. Wind energy engineers must prepare a three stage site implementation program
The first stage of the program involves locating the ideal placement for the wind turbines and determining which type of wind turbine can provide the optimal results for the wind farms. The second stage of the program involves building access roads to the property and constructing transmission lines which can be connected to the power grid. The final stage of the site implementation program is determining the final yield assessment which occurs after a power purchase agreement is signed with a local utility.
After we have secured the required licensing, and paid any required fees we intend to secure power contracts with local utilities. At this time, we do not intend to become a wind energy producer. Rather, we will develop the wind park for sale to wind energy producers. Our business model is to assemble a land package, secure regulatory approval, provide engineering studies, build the required infrastructure and finally enter into power purchase agreements with local utilities. When we sell our wind farms, we will be offering buyers a complete turnkey package. Purchasers will be required to purchase the wind turbines. Following the installation of the wind turbines, purchasers will then be able to sell wind power electricity pursuant to the terms and conditions of the power purchase agreements.

WIND POWER
Industry Overview
In todays society, wind power and alternative energy are becoming a fast growing force along with the Go Green attitude. Renewable energy is produced using resources that are naturally replenished, such as wind, sunlight, geothermal heat, tides and biofuels. Technologies that produce energy from these renewable sources (other than biofuels) are often referred to as clean or green as they produce few, if any, pollutants that negatively impact the environment. Comparatively, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil are exhaustible and release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or other pollutants into the atmosphere during energy production. As a result of increased environmental awareness, the deployment of renewable energy technologies has grown rapidly during the past several years. According to the Energy Information Administration, 37% of new U.S. power generation capacity in 2007 consisted of renewable technologies, compared with only 2% in 2003. This increase is expected to continue in both the United States and Canada. It is anticipated that renewable energy capacity in North America is expected to grow by a compounded annual growth rate between 9% and 11% through 2025. At this rate, the United States and Canada could supply 25% of its electrical energy requirements with renewable energy by 2025.
Wind energy is the fastest-growing renewable energy generation technology worldwide due to its cost efficiency, technological maturity and the wide availability of wind resources. It has been suggested that wind power has the greatest potential among all renewable energy technologies for further growth in North America. Although the United States and Canada have hydroelectric and geothermal resources, many potential hydroelectric sites have already been developed and geothermal production is confined by geographical limitations to only certain areas. In contrast, the available untapped wind resources across North America remain vast. Additionally, other renewable energy technologies, such as solar power, are currently less economically attractive than wind energy, and others, such as biofuels, emit particulates which have a greater negative impact on the environment than wind energy.
Wind Energy Fundamentals
The term wind energy refers to the process used to generate electricity through wind turbines. The turbines convert winds kinetic energy into electrical power by capturing it with a three blade rotor mounted on a nacelle that houses a gearbox and generator. When the wind blows, the combination of the lift and drag of the air pressure on the blades spins the blades and rotor, which turns a shaft through the gearbox and generator to create electricity.
Wind turbines are typically grouped together in what are often referred to as wind parks. Electricity from each wind turbine travels down a cable inside its tower to a collection point in the wind park and is then transmitted to a substation for voltage step-up and delivery into the electric utility transmission network, or grid. Todays wind turbines can efficiently generate electricity when the wind speed is between 11 and 55 miles per hour.
A key factor in the success of any wind park is the profile and predictability of the wind resources at the site. Extensive studies of historical weather and wind patterns have been performed across North America and many resources, in the forms of charts, graphs and maps, are available to wind energy developers. The most attractive wind park sites offer a combination of land accessibility, power transmission, proximity to construction resources and strong and dependable winds.
When wind energy developers identify promising sites, they perform detailed studies to provide greater certainty with respect to the long-term wind characteristics at the site and to identify the most effective turbine strategy. The long-term annual output of a wind park is assessed through the use of on-site wind data, publicly available reference data and sophisticated software. Wind speeds are estimated in great detail for specific months, days or even hours, and are then correlated to turbine manufacturers specifications to identify the most efficient turbine for the site. Additional calculations and adjustments for turbine availability (which is principally affected by planned and unplanned maintenance events), wake effects (wind depletion caused by turbines sited upwind), blade soiling and icing and other factors are made to arrive at an estimate of net expected annual kilowatt hour electricity production at the site.
Wind development determines the MW capacity of a project. Generally, MW for projects are decided as follows: Generally, the location (land) where the wind farm is located allows for a certain number of turbines to be fitted on to the projects land due to setbacks from houses roads and other buildings or infrastructure items. Also turbines create a noise parameter which circles out a portion of the land and which parameter has to be fitted in with the setbacks towards any structure. (Generally, in Ontario at least 550m from a house. Most ordinances prohibit more than 45 decibel in an inhabited structure at any time). Wind turbines have a nameplate capacity of generally 1.5-2.5 MW. By using the land and the turbine model you create a layout which is used to determine whether these turbines fit within the layout and how many turbine sites must be secured under an easement agreement.
Financial Statements
On January 31, 2010 we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Zero Emissions. We have treated this transaction as a reverse merger with by Zero Emissions, as the former shareholders of Zero Emissions now own a majority of the Companys issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the foregoing transaction, the acquisition is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.
Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or intangible asset is recorded. All material inter-company balances and transaction have been eliminated and the financial statements presented are those of Zero Emissions . Wind Works is deemed to be a continuation of the business of Zero Emissions.
As a result of the foregoing transaction with Zero Emission, it will be very difficult for you to assess the prior operations of Wind Works with the information presented herein.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and from May 2, 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2010.
Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2010 we generated $97,290 in income representing revenues earned from a non-refundable deposit. Until this time, our only other revenue was from interest income which we earned as a result of our cash holdings generated from the sale of our securities. Monies are deposited in interest bearing accounts until such time as needed for wind farm acquisitions, land commitments or contractual obligations. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and from Inception totaled $362. Total revenues were $97,652.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2010 our operating expenses totaled $1,246,908. As a result of our categorization of the acquisition of Zero Emission as a reverse merger, there are no operations reported for the comparable period ended September 30, 2009. Total operating expenses since inception were $3,778,612.
In order to preserve our cash holdings, we have relied on stock based compensation. As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and since Inception totaled stock based compensation totaled $399,461 and $773,809 respectively. Other significant expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were project development costs of $177,443, professional fees of $92,669, interest and service charges totaling $38,120 and consulting fees totaling $18,760. Since Inception these expenses totaled $778,866, $228,528, $86,799 and $101,610 respectively.
We recorded accretion interest expense totaling $498,061. This expense item was incurred as a result of the modification of the terms and conditions of $992,000 in the Companys outstanding convertible debt. Accretion interest since Inception totaled $1,089,104. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not record any loss on the extinguishment of indebtedness. However, since Inception loss from the extinguishment of debt totaled $564,130. (See Footnote 8.)
All other line item expenses that we incurred for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 represented less than 1% of our total expenses for the year.
Net Income (loss)
Our Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $(1,149,256) and $(3,680,960) since Inception.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010 We had a net loss per share of $(.03).
We will require additional capital to fully implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional capital or if available, on commercially acceptable terms. Until such time as we can fully implement our business plan, it is unlikely that we will be able to reverse our continuing losses in which case you may lose your entire investment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Assets and Liabilities
At September 30, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $132,763 and prepaid expenses totaling $999,916. We also have a value added tax receivable of $65,413, a convertible debenture receivable of $50,000 and accounts receivable totaling $15,895. Total current assets are $1,265,837. At June 30, 2010 we had cash totaling $39,263, prepaid expenses totaling $625,951, VAT receivable totaling $57,545 and accounts receivable totaling $2,498. Total current assets at June 30, 2010 were $727,117.
Prepaid assets consist primarily of common stock issued for services to be rendered.
The significant increase in our cash holdings is primarily attributable to proceeds we received from the sale of our securities. Similarly the increase in our prepaid expenses is attributable to the issuance of our common stock for services to be rendered.
Our long term assets at September 30, 2010 totaled $4,367,684. These assets are primarily attributable to our wind projects valued at $4,323,253. At June 30, 2010 long term assets totaled $3,945,484 of which $3,900,735 was attributable to our wind projects.
Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $5,633,521 as compared to $4,672,601 at June 30, 2010.
Our current liabilities at September 30, 2010 totaled $2,819,232 consisting primarily of accounts payable totaling $1,641,264, convertible debentures totaling $918,172 and short term loans totaling $259,796. Current liabilities at June 30, 2010 totaled $3,061,649 consisting of $2,576,433 in accounts payable, $385,216 in convertible debentures and $100,000 in short term loans. We used proceeds from the sale of our securities to reduce our outstanding accounts payable by approximately $935,000.
We have a working capital deficit at September 30, 2010 (current assets less current liabilities) of $1,553,395 as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,334,532 at June 30, 2010. Unless we secure additional funding to meet our short term capital requirements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement our business plan. If we are unable to pay our liabilities as they become due, and our creditors are not willing to defer payments, we may be required to seek protection from creditor claims.
