1.
Nature of Organization and Business:
i) Organization
Wind Works Power Corp. formerly known as AmMex Gold Mining Corp. (WWPC or Wind Works) was 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.
ii) Business
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.
2. Basis of Presentation
Effective January 31, 2010, WWPC completed a share exchange whereby it acquired Zero Emissions People LLC (ZEP). Prior to its acquisition by WWPC, Zero Emissions People LLC, was a privately-held US company engaged in the development of wind energy projects. The acquisition by Wind Works of ZEP is deemed to be a reverse acquisition. Wind Works (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and ZEP (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. The combined financial statements of the combined entity are in substance be those of ZEP, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses of Wind Works being included effective from the date of consummation of Share Exchange Transaction. Wind Works is deemed to be a continuation of the business of ZEP. The outstanding common stock of Wind Works prior to the Share Exchange Transaction will be accounted for at their net book value and no goodwill will be recognized.
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 ZEP for the net monetary assets of WWPC 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.
Refer to Note 13(ii) for further details regarding the shares issued pursuant to this acquisition and the projects acquired.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wind Works Power Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zero Emission People LLC, Wind Works Capital LLC, Zero Emission People Capital Inc., Wind Works Canada Inc., Zero Emission People Capital GmbH, Wind Works Development GmbH (collectively the Company). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
These accompanying consolidated 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.

Use of Estimates
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
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Wind Farm Developmental Properties
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. 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. 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the completed-contract method due to undependable estimates that cause forecasts to be doubtful. The completed-contract method recognizes revenue and costs upon contract completion, and all project costs and revenues are reported as deferred items on the balance sheet until that time. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.
Contract costs include all direct material and labour costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labour, supplies, tools, and repairs costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Claims are included in revenues when
received.
Costs in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets under costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Billings in excess of costs are classified under current liabilities as billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts. Contract retentions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for its ownership interest in UW ZE Altenburg GmbH under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic No. 323 Investments-Equity Method and Joint Venture (ASC 323) as a result of the Companys ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of UW ZE Altenburg GmbH. Under ASC 323, investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Companys proportionate share of the entitys net income or losses after the date of investments. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investments carrying amount may be reduced to a negative value.
The Company reviews investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assetsmay not be fully recoverable. The evaluation of recoverability is performed using undiscounted estimated net cash flows generated by the related investment. If the investment is deemed to be impaired, the amount of impairment is determined as the amount by which the net carrying value exceeds discounted estimated cash flows. No impairment charge was recorded related to the Companys equity method investment in UW ZE Altenburg GmbH for the year ended June 30, 2011.
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 year ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized amortization of $93,402 (2010 - $ 2,674).
Long-Lived Assets
Fixed Assets are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a declining balance basis at a rate of 20% per annum.
In accordance with ASC 360, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: Significant decreases in the market price of the assets; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating loses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
2.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, using the asset and liability method. Pursuant to ASC 740 the company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax assets for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
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. FIN NO. 48 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to and presented in United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830.
The functional currency of the Companys North American operations is the U.S. Dollar. For foreign currency transactions, monetary assets and liabilities for the Company are re-measured to U.S. dollars at current rates at the balance sheet dates, income statement items are re-measured at the average monthly exchange rates for the dates those items were recognized, and certain assets (including long-lived assets and wind project acquisition costs) are re-measured at historical exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations as incurred along with gains and losses from currency re-measurement.
The functional currency of the Companys German operations is the Euro. The gain or loss on currency translation from the local currency into the reporting currency (U.S. Dollar) is included as a separate component of stockholders equity. The assets and liabilities have been translated from Euros into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Results of operations have been translated using the average exchange rates during the year.
The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
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 June 30, 2011 and 2010 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 the trading prices of the Companys common stock on the date of the contract. The corresponding expense of the services rendered is recognized over the period that the services are performed.
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.
Fair Value Measurements
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. |
1.
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 June 30 2011 | June 30, 2010 | |||
Assets | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
Cash equivalents | 180,173 | 180,173 | - | - | 39,263 | |
Accounts receivable | 3,584 | 3,584 | - | - | 2,498 | |
VAT receivable | 83,739 | 93,739 | - | - | 57,545 | |
Due from shareholder Loan receivable | 1,850 2,904 | 1,850 2,904 | - - | - - | 1,850 - | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 2,233,438 | 2,233,438 | - | - | 2,476,433 | |
Short term loan | 202,787 | 202,787 | - | - | 100,000 | |
Third party loans | 8,827,589 | 8,827,589 | - | - | 8,827,589 | |
Convertible debentures | 385,000 | - | - | 385,000 | 385,216 |
The carrying value of accounts receivable, VAT 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 are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.
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:
| June 30, 2011 |
Risk free interest rate | 0.48 0.96% |
Expected life of warrants | 1 year |
Expected stock price volatility | 110.8% |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(i) ASU 2010-28
In December 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update 2010-28 ("ASU 2010-28"), "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)". ASU 2010-28 amends ASC Topic 350. ASU 2010-28 clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC Topic 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative an entity must assume that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that impairment. The modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2010-28 are not expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
(ii) ASU 2010-29
In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29 (ASU 2010-29), Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This Accounting Standards Update requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The amendments in this Update affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted
(i) 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 financial statements.
(ii) 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. The Company adopted ASC 810 on July 1, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 810 has no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
(iii) ASU 2010-20
In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance for the disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. This guidance amends existing disclosure guidance to require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Companys adoption of these requirements effective January 1, 2011 had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
(iii) ASC 605
In April 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance for the milestone method of revenue recognition. This guidance allows entities to make a policy election to use the milestone method of revenue recognition and provides guidance on defining a milestone and the criteria that should be met for applying the milestone method. The scope of this guidance is limited to transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The Companys adoption of this guidance effective July 1, 2010 had no effect on the Companys financial statements.
(iii) ASU 2010-09
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised consolidated financial statements. Revised consolidated financial statements include consolidated financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP. All of the amendments in ASU 2010-09 are effective upon issuance of the final ASU, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company has adopted this standard and as a result did not disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.
(iv) ASC 605
The FASB issued new guidance relating to revenue recognition for contractual arrangements with multiple revenue-generating activities. The ASC Topic for revenue recognition includes identification of a unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be allocated to separate the units of accounting, when applicable. The Companys adoption of this guidance effective July 1, 2010 had no effect on the Companys financial statements.

Convertible Debentures
On November 25, 2009 the Company issued $992,300 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.
On April 29, 2010, the Company agreed to modify 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, during the year ended June 30, 2010, 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 year ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $708,786 (2010 525,283) of accretion interest on the debt. The discount on this debt was fully accreted at June 30, 2011. The maturity date of this convertible debt was November 30, 2010 and therefore the $300,000 of debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 was in default.

The maturity date of this convertible debt was March 31, 2011 and therefore the $85,000 of debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 was in default. The Company had accrued $10,759 of interest on this debt at June 30, 2011 and included this balance in accrued liabilities.
During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company received notice of conversion for $125,000 in principal of convertible debentures resulting in the issuance of 500,000 restricted shares of common stock. An additional 43,750 common shares valued at $13,125 were issued for interest owing on these converted debentures.

The maturity date of the loan is the earliest of (i) an event of default or (ii) January 31, 2013 at which time the company is required to repay all principal and accrued interest. The loan is senior to all indebtedness of the company and is secured by any existing registered security on the assets of the company up to an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 for each bridge loan provided that any indebtedness relating to the registered security may not be re-financed, re-borrowed or increased in any way. There were 6 bridge loans outstanding at year-end secured by an aggregate amount of $9,000,000. Until the loan is repaid in full the company may not, without the prior consent of the lender, (1) incur any indebtedness or grant any security that would rank prior to the loan, other than: (i) normal trade payables; and (ii) secured debts and obligations owed to secured lenders providing financing for the construction of the Wind Projects. or (2) incur or commit to any single expense over CAD $20,000 or any series of related expense over a cumulative amount of CAD $30,000. The Company has signed promissory notes guaranteeing the amount of the loan.
Four parties entered into a convertible debenture agreement first and then entered into bridge loan agreements prior to the Closing date. The cumulative amount of financing available under the convertible debenture agreement is $8,500,000 in Canadian funds. Closing shall occur on such date as may be agreed to by the Company and the lender and upon closing the promissory notes shall be returned to the Company and a debenture shall be issued by the Company in an amount equal to the value of the notes then outstanding. The debentures shall carry a yield equal to 6.64% per annum, with interest calculated quarterly. At the lenders sole option, and at a date of its choosing, all principal and accrued interest under the debentures may be converted into an equity interest in any of the projects that were funded using this financing. In such a case the lender would earn up to a 49% interest in those specific wind projects. Following conversion the Company would have the option to repurchase the project equity upon thirty days notice.
Under the terms of the loan agreement the Company commits to purchasing all wind turbines for the wind projects from the lender.
At June 30, 2011 $99,331 of interest was accrued on the outstanding principal and included in accrued liabilities.

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 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.
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.
Wind Farm Development:
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.

The purchase price is subject to the final economic parameters and is not due until the project has received Renewable Energy Approval by the Provincial Government of Ontario. Wind Works will be required to finance the project after Renewable Energy Approval by securing the necessary debt financing for the project. Wind Works will organize construction of the project
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and from May 2, 2008 (Inception) to September 30, 2011.
Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 we did not generate any revenues as compared to $97,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Of this total, $97,290 represents revenues attributable to a non-refundable security deposit. The non-refundable deposit resulted from the termination of an agreement with Premier Renewable Energy Ltd. (See footnote 13xi). Total revenues since Inception were $97,819.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 our operating expenses totaled $ 951,918 as compared to $1,246,908 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Operating expenses since Inception totaled $8,660,390.
The principal reasons for the decline in our operating expenses are attributable to the significant reduction of accretion expense from $498,061 to $12,000 and the decline of consulting fees from $418,221. Professional fees increased from $82,669 to $131,714. This increase is primarily attributable to legal fees attributable to our funding activities. Interest and service charges increased from $38,120 to $222,771. The significant increase in this expense is attributable to financing activities incurred in connection with the funding of our wind farms. These costs are directly related to an increase in our project development costs from $177,443 to $333,620 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the comparable period in 2011. Project development costs since Inception totaled $2,552,700. We expect project development costs will continue to increase as we have secured funding for several of our wind farms.
Except for a lease expense of $26,000, all other line item expenses that we incurred for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 represented less than 1% of our total expenses for the year.
Net Income (loss)
Our Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011and 2010 totaled $(951,918) and $(1,246,908). Since Inception our Net Loss totaled $(8,562,571).
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, 2011 we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $271,311, $86,299 in costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, $44,166 in value added tax receivables and $109,515 in other assets. All other current assets represent less than 1% of our current assets. Total current assets were $531,664.
At June 30, 2011 total current assets were $574,621 consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents totaling $180,173, prepaid expenses totaling $112,033, VAT receivable of $83,739 and other assets totaling $115,380. Total current assets were $574,621.
Prepaid assets consist primarily of common stock issued for services to be rendered.
The significant increase in our cash holdings is primarily attributable to funds received from project financings.
Our long term assets at September 30, 2011 totaled $14,251,924. These assets are primarily attributable to wind project deposits of $10,490,927 and wind projects valued at of $3,684,237. We have no other material long term assets.
At June 30, 2011 long term assets totaled $11,216,186, consisting primarily of wind project deposits of $7,731,252 and wind projects valued at $3,431,183. The increase in our long term assets is primarily attributable to an increase in our wind project deposits.
Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $12,039,913 as compared to $11,790,807 at June 30, 2011.
Our current liabilities at September 30, 2011 totaled $3,297,212 consisting of accounts payable totaling $2,668,887, convertible debentures totaling $502,029 and short term loans totaling $126,296. Current liabilities at June 30, 2011 totaled $2,821,225 consisting of $2,233,438 in accounts payable, $385,000 in convertible debentures and $202,787 in short term loans.
We have a working capital deficit at September 30, 2010 (current assets less current liabilities) of $2,765,548 as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,246.604 at June 30, 2011. We require additional funding to meet our short term capital requirements. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
