Description of Business.
Background
BUSINESS
The Company is no longer pursuing mining activities in North America.
TheCompany's new business strategy is to pursue opportunities in the alternative energy field with a particular emphasis on wind energy. The Company intends to develop wind parks It will assemble land packages (Wind Parks), 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.
The development of a wind park involves many steps and can take years before coming to fruition. In order to implement this program we will have to secure and maintain land sites for turbine locations. We will need to negotiate terms for land lease or easement agreements, plan and conduct necessary environmental studies such as environmental screenings, noise assessments, visual assessments and avian and floral assessments. All of these studies are required for environmental approval. Environmental approval is necessary to obtain building permits for the wind parks. 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 project.
In addition to environmental approvals and consultations the Company has to plan and commission technical reports and engineering drawings and layouts in regards to the construction of the actual wind park and any auxiliary structures such as transmission lines that are necessary to operate the wind park.
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 parks. 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 the Company has secured the required licensing and paid any required fees it intends to secure power contracts with local utilities. At this time, it does not intend to become a wind energy producer. Rather, it will develop the wind park for sale to wind energy producers. The Company's 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 it sells wind parks, it 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 remains 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: The location (land) where the wind park 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. (For example, in Ontario, Canada where several of our projects are located, at least 550 meters from any house is required. Most ordinances prohibit more than 45 decibels 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 a layout model is used to determine whether these turbines fit within the layout and how many turbine sites must be secured under an easement agreement.

Growth in Wind Energy
The growth in wind energy will likely continue due to a number of key factors, including:
|
|
▪
|
Increases in electricity demand coupled with the rising cost of fossil fuels used for conventional energy generation resulting in increases in electricity prices;
|
|
|
▪
|
Heightened environmental concerns, creating legislative and popular support to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases;
|
|
|
▪
|
Regulatory mandates as well as government tax incentives.
|
|
|
▪
|
Improvements in wind energy technology;
|
|
|
▪
|
Increasing obstacles for the construction of conventional fuel plants; and
|
|
|
▪
|
Abundant wind resources in attractive energy markets.
|
Wind energy, which has no fuel costs, has become much more competitive by comparison to traditional electricity generation sources, and has grown dramatically relative to other non-hydroelectric renewable sources (including biofuels, geothermal and solar) in recent years. Wind energy also offers an attractive method of managing commodity price risk while maintaining strict environmental standards, as it provides a stable, affordable hedge against the risk of increases in the price of coal, natural gas and other fuels over time. Increasing the use of wind energy also has the implied benefit of lowering overall demand for natural gas, particularly during winter peak demand.
Concerns over the recent volatility in fuel prices, coupled with the significant dependence on fossil fuels, has been and will continue to be a factor in the political and social movement towards greater use of clean energy.
Heightened Environmental Concerns, Creating Legislative and Popular Support to Reduce Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases
The growing concern over global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions has also contributed to the growth in the wind energy industry. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report, experts have noted that eleven of the last twelve years (19952006) rank among the warmest years since 1850. Additionally, the global average sea level has risen at an average rate of 1.8 millimeters per year since 1961 and at 3.1 millimeters per year since 1993, due to the melting of glaciers, ice caps and polar ice sheets, coupled with thermal expansion of the oceans. The importance of reducing greenhouse gases has been recognized by the international community, as demonstrated by the signing and ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, which requires reductions in greenhouse gases by the 177 (as of March 2008) signatory nations (not including the United States).
Substituting wind energy for traditional fossil fuel-fired generation would help reduce CO2 emissions due to the environmentally-friendly attributes of wind energy. According to the Energy Information Administration, the United States had the highest CO2 emissions of all countries in the world in 2005, contributing approximately 20% of the worlds CO2 emissions. Since 1990, CO2 emissions from the United States electric power industry have increased by a cumulative amount of 27%, from 1.9 billion metric tons to 2.5 billion metric tons.
Environmental legislation and regulations provide additional incentives for the development of wind energy by increasing the marginal cost of energy generated through fossil-fuel technologies. Such legislation and regulations have been designed to, for example, reduce ozone concentrations, particulate emissions, haze and mercury emissions and can require conventional energy generators to make significant expenditures, implement pollution control measures or purchase emissions credits to meet compliance requirements. These measures have increased fossil fuel-fired generators capital and operating costs and put upward pressure on the market price of energy. Because wind energy producers are price takers in energy markets, these legislative measures effectively serve to make the return on wind energy more attractive relative to other sources of generation.
It is anticipated that there is significant support to enact legislation that will attempt to reduce the amount of carbon produced by electrical generators. Although the ultimate form of legislation is still being debated, the two most likely alternatives are (i) a direct emissions tax or (ii) a cap-and-trade regime. We believe either of these alternatives would likely result in higher overall power prices, as the marginal cost of electricity.
Improvements in Wind Energy Technology
5
Wind turbine technology has improved considerably in recent years with significant increases in capacity and efficiency. Multiple types and sizes of turbines are now available to suit a wide range of wind resource characteristics and landscapes. Modern wind turbines are capable of generating electricity for 20 to 30 years.
There have been two major trends in the development of wind turbines in recent years:
|
|
▪
|
According to the Danish Wind Industry Association and the U.S. Department of Energy, individual turbine capacity has increased dramatically over the last 25 years, with 30 kW machines that operated in 1980 giving way to the 1.5 MW machines that are standard today;
|
|
|
▪
|
Wind park performance has improved significantly, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, s turbines installed in 2004 through 2006 averaged a 33%-35% net capacity factor (the ratio of the actual output over a period of time and the output if the wind park had operated at full capacity over that time period) as compared to the 22% net capacity factor realized by turbines installed prior to 1998.
|
Additionally, as wind energy technology has continued to improve, according to AWEA, the capital cost of wind energy generation has fallen by approximately 80% over the past 20 years.
Increasing Obstacles for the Construction of Conventional Fuel Plants
In addition to the impediments presented by the extensive and growing environmental legislation, new power plants that use conventional fuels, such as coal and nuclear technologies, face a difficult, lengthy and expensive permitting process. Furthermore, increasing opposition from public environmental groups towards coal-fired power plants, coupled with rising construction costs, contributed to the cancellation of many planned coal plants in 2007. Traditional energy developers and utilities are likely to face permitting and restricted supply issues in the future. As a result, alternative energy sources such as wind will need to be developed to meet increasing electricity demand and will be able to capitalize on the resulting higher energy prices.
Abundant Wind Resources in Attractive Energy Markets
The potential for future growth in the North American wind energy market is supported by the large land area available for turbine installations and the availability of significant wind resources. According to AWEA,
Wind energy project revenues are highly dependent on suitable wind and associated weather conditions.
The energy and revenues generated at a wind energy project are highly dependent on climatic conditions, particularly wind conditions, which are variable and difficult to predict. Turbines will only operate within certain wind speed ranges that vary by turbine model and manufacturer, and there is no assurance that the wind resource at any given project site will fall within such specifications. Even after undertaking studies to determine the feasibility of a project, actual climatic conditions at a project site, particularly wind conditions, may not conform to the findings of these wind studies, and, therefore, wind energy projects may not meet anticipated production levels, which could adversely affect forecasts. In addition, global climate change could change existing wind patterns; such effects are impossible to predict.
Tornados, lightning strikes, floods, severe storms, wildfires or other exceptional weather conditions or natural disasters could damage wind energy projects and related facilities and decrease production levels. These events could have a material adverse effect on the operations of any wind park.
Environmental Regulation
Wind park development activities are subject to various government environmental laws and regulations, primarily including environmental impact review requirements and regulations governing the discharge of fill materials into protected wetlands. The impact of these laws and regulations on the development, construction and operation of wind parks is site specific and varies depending upon the location and design of the wind park and the relevant regulations. Potential regulation may require an evaluation us to evaluate the potential environmental impacts caused by wind parks, including assessments of visual and noise impacts, effects on wildlife (primarily birds and bats) and impacts to historical and cultural resources, and to implement measures to mitigate those impacts to the extent practicable. Additional regulation may be imposed with respect to the operations of the wind parks by setting limits on the use of local roads, setback requirements and noise standards. Failure to comply with these requirements or with other regulatory standards may result in the denial of required permits that are required for construction or operation or become subject to regulatory enforcement actions. Legal challenges or enforcement actions, even if ultimately defeated, can result in substantial delays in the completion of a wind park and may have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition.
Wind parks need to be designed to have minimal operational impact on the environment. Operation of a wind park does not produce significant wastes, generate air emissions or result in wastewater discharges. While most of our environmental regulatory obligations arise during or prior to the construction stage for some wind parks, significant environmental obligations may still exist even after construction is complete. For example, wind parks may be required to monitor impacts on avian species and to adopt mitigating measures if substantial impacts are determined. In most cases, the precise nature of this potential mitigation is not specified in the wind parks permits. Wind parks may also be required to mitigate for damage to or loss of wetland areas which, in some instances, may not be completed for several years after the wind park is constructed.
Management believes that there is tremendous opportunity in entering the renewable energy field. However, any undertaking of this kind will require an infusion of capital and/or a strategic partner.
Feed-inTariffs
The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) contract program is part of the new Green Energy Act in Ontario, Canada. The FIT program offers a power contract with a guaranteed rate of C$135.00/MWh over a 20-year term to qualified wind energy projects. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) initial launch period deadline for FIT applications was November 30, 2009. This first launch period was designed for projects that were being developed under the Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP) and are therefore further advanced. Criteria of earlier commercial operation dates are one such factor in obtaining priority access to transmission availability. To be awarded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) under the FIT rules, the application has to be submitted in accordance with strict regulations which can be accessed in details via the OPA website at
www.powerauthority.on.ca/
.
Corporate Acquisitions:
Zero Emission People:
In September 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement and option agreement with Zero Emission People LLC, (ZEP) an entity controlled by Ingo Stuckmann, our chief executive officer. The Joint Venture Agreement provided for ZEP to contribute to the Joint Venture two wind energy projects of 10MW each, both located in Ontario, Canada. In consideration for the contribution of the wind energy projects to the Joint Venture, the Company issued 1.5 million shares of our restricted common stock. In addition it entered into an option agreement with ZEP. The option granted the Company the exclusive right to purchase up to a 100% interest in a minimum of 400 MW of wind energy projects in Canada, the United States and Europe. In consideration for the grant of the option, the Company issued an additional 3.5 million shares of its restricted common stock.
After further evaluation of the Zero Emission assets, the board of directors authorized the execution of a share exchange agreement with ZEP which provides in part for Wind Works to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interest of Zero Emission People LLC in consideration for the issuance of a total of 31 million shares of our common stock. The shares will be issued pursuant to the following schedule:
▪
5,000,000 shares of common stock on January 15, 2010
▪
9,000,000 shares of common stock on August 15, 2010
▪
9,000,000 shares of common stock on August 15, 2011
▪
8,000,000 shares of common stock on August 15, 2012
The transaction closed on January 31, 2010.
Any shares of common stock or common stock options issued pursuant to the joint venture agreement have been credited against the purchase price paid for the acquisition of Zero Emission People LLC.
The following is a brief description of the Companys wind projects acquired from ZEP and their current status:

Item 1a.
Risk Factors
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the Company may not be able to proceed with its planned operations and your investment may be lost entirely.
RISK FACTORS
We are dependent on our new management team.
Except for W. Campbell Birge, we have replaced former management and installed a new Board of Directors. We will be substantially dependent upon Dr. Ingo Stuckmann, our new chief executive officer and J.C. Pennie, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Both individuals have been actively involved in the wind power industry. However, neither has experience in running a public company. . The business contacts and relationships that we hope to secure are predominantly those of Dr. Stuckmann and Mr. Pennie. Our business would be materially and adversely affected if their services would become unavailable to us. We cannot assure you that these individuals will continue to be available to us. We do not maintain key man insurance.
Our executive officers, board of directors and key employees are crucial to our business, and we may not be able to recruit, integrate and retain the personnel we need to succeed.
Our success depends upon a number of key management, sales, technical and other critical personnel, including our executive officers, our board of directors and key employees with expertise in the industry. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or our inability to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled technical, management, sales and marketing personnel could result in significant disruption to our operations, including our inability or limited success in locating new sites, effectiveness of sales efforts, quality of customer service, and completion of our initiatives, including growth plans and the results of our operations. Any failure by us to find suitable replacements for our key senior management may be disruptive to our operations. Competition for such personnel in the technology industries is intense, and we may be unable to attract, integrate and retain such personnel successfully.
12
We may have to depend on outside advisors for some of our primary business operations.
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers and attorneys or engage other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by our officers without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an as needed basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event management considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, they may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.
We have no operating history in the wind power industry.
We have no history in the wind power industry nor in assembling wind parks. We were not successful in developing our mining operations and there can be no assurance that our new business venture will prove successful. As such there is no history of developing or managing wind parks which you can use to evaluate our business. Our prospects for success must be considered in the context of a new company in a developing industry. The risks we face include developing and acquiring wind parks, compliance with significant regulation, reliance on third parties, operating in a competitive environment. If we are unable to address all of these risks, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
Revenues from the sale or lease of our wind parks will be subject to fluctuating market prices for energy and capacity.
The revenues that can be generated by wind parks depend on market prices of energy in competitive energy markets. Market prices for both energy and capacity are volatile and depend on numerous factors outside our control including economic conditions, population growth, electrical load growth, government and regulatory policy, weather, the availability of alternate generation and transmission facilities, balance of supply and demand, seasonality, transmission and transportation constraints and the price of natural gas and alternative fuels or energy sources. These factors will impact the value of our wind parks.
There are a small number of wind turbine manufacturers, and increased demand may lead to difficulty in obtaining wind turbines and related components at affordable prices or in a timely manner.
We will not purchase wind turbines. However, there are only a small number of companies that have the expertise and access to the necessary components to build multi-megawatt class wind turbines. The rapid growth in the aggregate worldwide wind energy industry has created significantly increased demand for wind turbines and their related components that is currently not being adequately satisfied by suppliers. Wind turbine suppliers have significant supply backlogs, which tend to drive up prices and delay the delivery of ordered wind turbines and components. If this continues, our wind parks will become less attractive.
The federal government may not extend or may decrease tax incentives for renewable energy, including wind energy, which would have an adverse impact on our development strategy.
Tax incentives offered by governments make wind energy an attractive business opportunity. If these incentives are eliminated or reduced, our wind parks will be less attractive to prospective purchasers.
Currently, federal tax incentives applicable to the wind energy industry currently in effect include the production tax credit (PTC) and business energy investment tax credit (ITC) together with accelerated tax depreciation for certain assets of wind parks. The PTC provides the owner of a wind turbine placed in operation before the end of 2012 with a ten-year credit against its federal income tax obligations based on the amount of electricity generated by the wind turbine. The ITC provides a 30% credit in the form of a tax credit for property placed in service before the end of year 2012, or, alternatively, a 30% cash grant from the U.S. Treasury Department if an application is submitted by October 2011. The accelerated depreciation for certain assets of wind parks provides for a five-year depreciable life for these assets, rather than the 15 to 25 year depreciable lives of many non-renewable energy assets, with an additional 50% bonus depreciation allowed for wind energy assets placed in service by the end of 2009.
The PTC and ITC are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, and, unless extended or renewed by the U.S. Congress, will not be available for energy generated from wind turbines placed in service after that date. We cannot assure you that current or any subsequent efforts to extend or renew this tax incentive will be successful or that any subsequent extension or renewal will be on terms that are as favorable as those that currently exist. In addition, there can be no assurance that any subsequent extension or renewal of the PTC and/or ITC would be enacted prior to its expiration or, if allowed to expire, that any extension or renewal enacted thereafter would be enacted with retroactive effect. We also cannot assure you that the tax laws providing for accelerated depreciation of wind park assets will not be modified, amended or repealed in the future. If the federal PTC or ITC are not extended or renewed, or are extended or renewed at lower rates, financing options for wind parks will be reduced and development plans for additional wind parks will be adversely affected.
13
The performance of wind parks is dependent upon meteorological and atmospheric conditions that fluctuate over time.
Identifying suitable locations for our wind parks is critical. The production of electricity generated by wind parks will be highly dependent on meteorological and atmospheric conditions.
Site selection requires the evaluation of the quality of the wind resources based upon a variety of factors. The wind data gathered on site and data collected through other sources form the basis of wind resource projections for a wind parks performance. Wind resource projections do not predict the wind at any specific period of time in the future. Therefore, even in the event where prediction of a wind parks wind resources becomes validated over time, the wind park will experience hours, days, months and even years that are below wind resource predictions. Wind resource projections may not predict the actual wind resources observed by the wind park over a long period of time. Assumptions included in wind resource projections, such as the interference between turbines, effects of vegetation and land use, and terrain effects may not be accurate. Wind resources average monthly and average time of day long-term predictions may not be accurate and, therefore, the energy wind parks produce over time may have a different value than forecast.
Operational factors may reduce energy production below projections, causing a reduction in revenue.
The amount of electricity generated by a wind park depends upon many factors in addition to the quality of the wind resources, including but not limited to turbine performance, aerodynamic losses resulting from wear on the wind turbine, degradation of other components, icing or soiling of the blades and the number of times an individual turbine or an entire wind park may need to be shut down for maintenance or to avoid damage due to extreme weather conditions. In addition, conditions on the electrical transmission network can impact the amount of energy a wind park can deliver to the network. These matters will adversely impact the value of our wind parks.
The wind energy industry is extensively regulated and changes in or new regulations or delays in regulatory approval could hurt our business development.
Developing our wind parks is subject to extensive energy and environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities. Delay in obtaining, or failure to obtain and maintain in full force and effect, any of the regulatory approvals we need to develop our wind parks, or delay or failure to satisfy any applicable regulatory requirements, could prevent us from fully implementing our business strategy.
Various state and provincial governments may not extend or may decrease incentives for renewable energy, including wind energy, which would have an adverse impact on our development strategy.
Various types of incentives which support the sale of electricity generated from wind energy presently exist in the United States and Canada. These incentives can be offered at both the state and provincial level. Many states have enacted renewable portfolio standards, or RPS, programs. These programs either require electric utilities and other retail energy suppliers to produce or acquire a certain percentage of their annual electricity consumption from renewable power generation resources or designate an entity to administer the central procurement of renewable energy certificates, or RECs, for the state. We believe that we will benefit from programs such as REC due to the environmentally beneficial attributes associated with their production of electricity. A REC is a stand-alone tradable instrument representing the attributes associated with one megawatt hour of energy produced from a renewable energy source. These attributes typically include reduced air and water pollution, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased use of domestic energy sources. Many states and provinces track and verify compliance with their RPS programs. Retail energy suppliers can meet the requirements by purchasing RECs from renewable energy generators, in addition to producing or acquiring the electricity from renewable sources. We cannot assure you that governmental support for alternative energy sources in the form of RPS programs or RECs recognition and trading will continue at the state or provincial level or that the wind parks that we develop will qualify for such incentives. Any decrease in government incentives would have an adverse impact on our development strategy.
We will need to locate and develop new sources of
wind
power in a timely and consistent manner, and failure to do so would adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
Our success in the industry requires additional and continuing development to become and remain competitive. Subject to available working capital, we expect to make substantial investments in development activities. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to locate additional
wind
power sites. Developing a wind park site is dependent upon, among other things, acquisition of rights to parcels of property and receipt of required local, state and federal permits. This development activity will require continued investment in order to maintain and grow our market position. We may experience unforeseen problems in our development endeavors. We may not achieve widespread market acceptance of our wind parks. We may not meet some of these requirements or may not meet them on a timely basis. We may modify plans for the development of a wind park. We will typically incur substantial expense in the development of wind parks. Many of these expenses, including obtaining permits and legal and other services, are incurred before we can determine whether a site is environmentally or economically feasible. After such a determination is made, significant expenses, such as environmental impact studies, are incurred. A number of factors are critical to a determination of whether a site will ultimately be developed as a wind park including changes in regulatory environment, changes in energy prices, community opposition, failure to obtain regulatory and transmission approvals and permits. These factors could materially affect our ability to forecast operations and negatively affect our stock price, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
The number of desirable sites available for the development of wind parks is limited, and our inability to identify or acquire sites will limit our ability to implement our development strategy.
Wind parks can be built only in regions with suitable wind conditions. In addition, certain constraints must be taken into account in connection with the development of each wind park. These include topographic constraints, landowners willingness to grant access to their land, connection capacities of the local transmission network and regulatory constraints associated with the proximity to housing, airports or protected sites.
If we cannot locate sufficient available sites on which to develop wind parks, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or on our ability to implement our business strategy.
We will face competitive pressures from a variety of competitors.
We are a small company, and we will be operating in a highly competitive market, and this competition may accelerate in the future. In both Canada and the United States, large utility companies dominate the energy production industry and coal continues to dominate as the primary resource for electricity production followed by other traditional resources such as nuclear, oil and natural gas. We expect that primary competition for the
wind
power industry will continue to come from utility company producers of electricity generated from coal and other non-renewable energy sources. Within the
wind
power market itself, there is also a high degree of competition, with growth opportunities in all sectors of the industry regularly attracting new entrants.
There are a limited number of sites desirable for wind parks and a limited supply of wind turbines and other related equipment necessary to operate wind park facilities. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of wind parks than we can. Current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that enhance their ability to address the needs of our prospective customers. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. This would in turn reduce our ability to develop wind parks.
Access to, availability and cost of transmission networks are critical to development of wind parks; failure to obtain sufficient network connections for future wind parks would adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
Wind park operators will be dependent on electric transmission facilities owned and operated by third parties to deliver the electricity. To the extent that these facilities are not readily available, the value of our wind parks will be adversely affected. The capacity of the local transmission network may be limited or constrained, and the owner of the network may not allow wind park operators to interconnect ithout first constructing the system upgrades that the owner requires. For this reason, we may be required to pay some or all of the costs of upgrading the existing transmission facilities to support the additional electricity that a wind park will be delivering into the network. The location of a wind park in a particular area therefore depends significantly on whether it is possible to interconnect with the transmission network at a reasonable cost. Many wind parks are located in remote areas with limited transmission networks where intense competition exists for access to, and use of capacity on, the existing transmission facilities. We cannot assure you that we will obtain sufficient network connections for future wind parks within planned timetables and budgetary constraints.
Wind parks are required to meet certain technical specifications in order to be connected to the transmission network. If any wind park does not meet, or ceases to comply with, these specifications, we will not be able to connect, to or remain connected, to the transmission network. We may also incur liabilities and penalties, including disconnection from the network, if the transmission of electricity by one or more of wind parks does not comply with applicable technical requirements. In the agreements with respect to connecting to the existing electricity transmission network between wind parks and the applicable transmission owner or operator, the transmission owner or operator retains the right to interrupt or curtail our transmission deliveries as required in order to maintain the reliability of the transmission network. We cannot assure you that our wind parks will not be adversely impacted by any such interruption or curtailment.
Public opposition toward wind parks may make it more difficult to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations required to develop or maintain a wind park.
Public attitude towards aesthetic and environmental impacts of wind energy projects impacts the ability to develop our wind parks. In many localities, the environmental impact review process ensures a role for concerned members of the public that can lead to changes in design or
layout, extensive impact mitigation requirements, or even the rejection of a project. In such areas, local acceptance is critical to the ability to obtain and maintain necessary permits and approvals. We cannot assure you that any wind park projects under development will be accepted by the affected population. Public opposition can also lead to legal challenges that may result in the invalidation of a permit or, in certain cases, the dismantling of an existing wind park as well as increased cost and delays. Reduced acceptance of wind parks by local populations, an increase in the number of legal challenges or an unfavorable trend in the outcome of these challenges could prevent us from achieving our plans, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We will need additional capital to fund our operations and if we are not able to obtain sufficient capital, we may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.
We do not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations. Market conditions and other factors may not permit future financings. Our ability to arrange financing is dependent on numerous factors including general economic and market conditions, credit availability from lenders, investor confidence and the existence of regulatory and tax incentives that are conducive to raising capital. If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to limit our investments in development activities, limit our marketing efforts and decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that additional financing will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
There is an absence of historical price data that you can use to evaluate the likely success of our business model.
There is an absence of historical price data that you can use to assess the likelihood that we will be able to recoup the costs of developing the wind parks. In addition, factors beyond our control may impact our operations including:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a decrease in prices of other sources of electricity, which would make electricity prices from those other sources more competitive with our wind-powered electricity generating stations,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
additional supplies of electric energy becoming available from our current competitors or new market entrants, including the development of new generation facilities that may be able to produce energy less expensively than our wind-powered electricity generating stations,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
additional supplies of energy or energy-related services becoming available if there is an increase in physical transmission capacity into the power pool,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
the extended operation of nuclear generating plants located in adjacent markets or the resumption of generation by nuclear facilities that are currently out of service,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
weather conditions prevailing in the province of Ontario where the
wind
power will be generated initially,
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
the possibility of a reduction in the projected rate of growth in electricity usage as a result of factors such as regional economic conditions and the implementation of conservation programs, and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to negotiate successfully and enter into advantageous contracts for sales of our electric energy.
|
We need to manage growth in operations to maximize our potential growth. Our failure to manage growth will cause a disruption of our operations resulting in the failure to generate revenue.
In order to maximize potential growth in the
wind
power markets, we must focus on the growth of our joint venture. We must be able to expand our development activities to locate sites to generate
wind
power, as well as explore outlets for the sale of electricity generated. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management team and our operational, accounting and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively hire, train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to properly manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
We have no patent protection on our products.
We have no patents on our products relating to the generation of wind energy. There is no assurance that our products will not infringe upon patents or technologies owned by others. We do not consider a grant of patents essential to the success of our business.
16
The transmission networks to which wind parks connect may fail or experience downtime, which will cause us to lose revenue.
Transmission networks may experience congestion, outages or technical incidents, and operators of these networks may fail to meet their contractual transmission obligations or terminate the contracts involved. Moreover, if the interconnection or transmission agreement of a wind park is terminated for any reason, we may not be able to replace it with an interconnection and transmission arrangement on terms as favorable as the existing arrangement or at all, or we may experience significant delays or costs in connection with securing a replacement.
If a network to which one or more of wind parks is connected experiences down time, the affected wind park may lose revenue and be exposed to non-performance penalties and claims from its customers. These may include claims for damages incurred by customers, such as the additional cost of acquiring alternative electricity supply at then-current spot market rates. The owners of the network will not usually compensate electricity generators, including wind parks, for lost income due to down time.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by the uncertain geopolitical environment and unfavorable factors affecting economic and market conditions.
Adverse factors affecting economic conditions worldwide have contributed to a general inconsistency in the power industry and may continue to adversely impact our business, resulting in:
|
|
|
|
·
|
reduced demand for electricity as a result of a decrease in spending by customers and potential customers
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
increased price competition for electricity, and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
higher overhead costs as a percentage of revenues.
|
Terrorist and military actions may continue to put pressure on economic conditions. If such an attack should occur or if the economic and market conditions could deteriorate as a result of a terrorist attack, we may experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition as a consequence of the above factors or otherwise.
It is unlikely that we will be able to sustain profitability in the future.
We have incurred significant losses to date and there can be no assurance that we will be able to reverse this trend. Even if we are able to successfully launch our new business, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues to operate profitably.
We will need to raise additional capital to build our wind parks.
Developing a wind park for commercial exploitation will require additional capital. There is no commitment in place to secure this additional financing. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, would increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. The Company will be required to raise additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. Under these circumstances, if the Company is unable to acquire additional capital or is required to raise it on terms that are less satisfactory than desired, it may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and you will lose your investment.
Our agreements with affiliated entities present conflicts of interests
We have entered into agreements with affiliated entities in which our officers or directors have a direct or indirect financial interest. We have issued significant sums of cash and issued our common stock to these affiliated entities. We believe that the terms and conditions of these agreements are no less favorable to the Company than what would be negotiated in an arms length transaction. Our officers and directors owe the Company a fiduciary responsibility. If it is determined that our officers and directors breached their fiduciary obligation, these officers may be required to resign in which case, our operations will be significantly impaired. We may also face shareholder derivative actions in connection with these activities.
Conflicts of interests may develop between our officers, directors and affiliates
Companies that our directors are affiliated with may identify new wind park projects or choose to otherwise develop wind parks outside of the joint venture or option agreement. We have not implemented any corporate policy with respect to handling potential conflicts of interest. However, Dr. Stuckmann has indicated that before a company he has affiliation with undertakes a new project, that the new project will be brought to Wind Works and the Wind Works Board will then vote on whether to pursue the project under the same terms and conditions as offered to the affiliated company.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has historically been volatile. We believe investors should expect continued volatility in our stock price as a result of various factors, including:
1. Low daily trading volume,
2. Generally large spreads between quoted bid and offer prices,
3. Uncertainty of the company's future,
4. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders, including short sales,
5. Company disclosures regarding the results of various stages of our exploration operations.
Such volatility may make it difficult or impossible for you to obtain a favorable selling price for our shares.
Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average trading market for a stock quoted on other national exchanges, and our price may fluctuate dramatically in the future.
Although the Company's common stock is listed for trading on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board, the trading market in the commons stock has substantially less liquidity than the average trading market for companies quoted on other national stock exchanges and our price may fluctuate dramatically. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Due to limited trading volume, the market price of the Company's common stock may fluctuate significantly in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to the Company's performance. General market price declines or overall market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of the Company's common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future market prices.
We may issue additional common shares in the future which would dilute the outstanding shares
.
The prices at which we sell these securities and other terms and provisions will depend on prevailing market conditions and other factors in effect at that time, all of which are beyond our control.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters
.
Recent federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. While our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, we have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX 404"), the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company's internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company's financial statements must also attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company's internal controls..
We expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX 404, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. At present, there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance adequacy. Accordingly, there can be no positive assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer.
"Penny stock" rules may make buying or selling the common stock difficult and severely limit their market and liquidity.
Trading in our common stock is subject to certain regulations adopted by the SEC commonly known as the "Penny Stock Rules". The Company's common stock qualifies as penny stock and is covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's common stock in the market. The "Penny Stock" rules govern how broker/dealers can deal with their clients and "penny stock". For sales of the Company's common stock, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from clients a written agreement prior to making a sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker/dealers by the "penny stock" rules may discourage broker/dealers from effecting transactions in the Company's common stock, which could severely limit its market price and liquidity. This could prevent investors from reselling our common stock and may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to develop and expand its business.
A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
Item 2.
Description of Properties.
Our corporate headquarters are located at 346 Waverley Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2P 0W5. We lease approximately 750 square feet . Our monthly rent is $700. A director of the company is also a director of the corporation which owns the leased premises. The office facilities meet our current needs and our current monthly rent is equivalent to the monthly rent we would be required to pay for similar office space.

D. Equity Compensation Plans
2007/08 Stock INCENTIVE AND COMPENSATION PLAN
We have approved the 2007/08 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan n (the Plan). The purpose of the Plan is to enhance the profitability and value of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders by enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward directors, employees and consultants (collectively, Participants) and strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and the Companys stockholders.
Awards
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may issue non-qualified stock options (Non-Qualified Stock Options), incentive stock options (Incentive Stock Options, together with Non-Qualified Stock Options referred to herein as Stock Options), stock appreciation rights (Stock Appreciation Rights), restricted stock (Restricted Stock) and registered stock (Registered Stock), (collectively, the Awards) to eligible Participants.
All employees of and consultants to the Company and its affiliates are eligible to be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Registered Stock. All employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options.
20
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan with respect to which Awards may be granted shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock . The number of shares of our common stock authorized under the Plan was not required to be adjusted as a result of our 10:1 Reverse Stock Split. We have issued a total of 3,100,000 shares of our common stock under the Plan to our officers, directors and consultants. As of the date hereof, no Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Registered Stock have been issued under the Plan.
If any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan expires, terminates or is cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full or, with respect to Stock Options, the Company repurchases any Stock Option, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the repurchased Stock Option, and/or the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any unexercised Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Option shall again be available for the purposes of Awards under the Plan.
Administration
The Plan is administered and interpreted by a Committee (Committee) appointed by the Board of Directors, or if no Committee, by the Board of Directors. The Company expects the Plan will be administered by the newly formed Compensation Committee. The Committee has full authority, among other things, to: (a) select the eligible employees and consultants to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Registered Stock may from time to time be granted; (b) determine, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award to an eligible employee or consultant granted; and (c) determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, including, but not limited to, the exercise or purchase price (if any), any restriction or limitation, any vesting schedule or acceleration thereof, or any forfeiture restrictions or waiver thereof, regarding any Stock Option or other Award, and the Common Stock relating thereto, based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.
Stock Options
The option price per Common Stock purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. For the purposes of the Plan, the fair market value means: (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the last sale price of the Common Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock on such date; (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock on such date, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or similar publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be otherwise determined, such price as the Committee shall determine, in good faith, based on reasonable methods set forth under Section 422 of the Code.
The purchase price of shares of Common Stock subject to a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee.
The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Stock Option is granted.
Stock Awards
Shares of Restricted Stock or Registered Stock may be issued to eligible employees or consultants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock or Registered Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. The purchase price of Restricted Stock shall be fixed by the Committee. The purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participant shall not be permitted to transfer shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan during a period set by the Committee.
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option (a Reference Stock Option) granted under the Plan (Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights). In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Reference Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Reference Stock Option.
A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a Reference Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the Reference Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by the Reference Stock Option shall not be reduced until and then only to the extent the exercise or termination of the Reference Stock Option causes the number of shares covered by the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right to exceed the number of shares remaining available and unexercised under the Reference Stock Option.
Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an amount in cash and/or Common Stock equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock over the option price per share specified in the Reference Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted without reference to any Stock Options granted under the Plan (Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights). The term of each Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not be greater than ten (10) years after the date the right is granted.
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at grant. Subject to such terms and conditions, Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised.
Upon the exercise of a Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive, for each right exercised, up to, but no more than, an amount in cash and/or Common Stock equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date the right is exercised over the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the date the right was awarded to the Participant.
Transfer of Awards
No Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All Stock Options and all Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Participants shall be exercisable, during the Participants lifetime, only by the Participant. Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable, to the extent permitted, only with the underlying Stock Option. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be transferred prior to the date on which shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction period lapses.
Termination of Employment
Generally, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, if a Participant is terminated for cause, any Stock Option held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, any Stock Option held by a Participant:
(i)
on death or termination of employment or consultancy by reason of disability or retirement may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participants death or termination, by the legal representative of the estate or Participant as the case may be, at any time within a period of one (1) year from the date of such death or termination;
(ii)
on termination of employment or consultancy by involuntary termination without cause or for good reason may be exercised, by the Participant at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such termination; or
(iii)
on termination of employment or consultancy by voluntary termination but without good reason and occurs prior to, or more than ninety (90) days after, the occurrence of an event which would be grounds for termination by the Company for cause, any Stock Option held by such Participant may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at termination, by the Participant at any time within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such termination,
but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option.
Amendments to the Plan
The Board may at any time amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or terminate the Plan entirely. Provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the Plan, the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant and, provided further, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, if and to the extent required by the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act or, if and to the extent required, under the applicable provisions of the Code, no amendment may be made which would, among other things: increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan; change the classification of Participants eligible to receive Awards under the Plan; decrease the minimum option price of any Stock Option; extend the maximum option period; change any rights under the Plan with regard to non-employee directors; or require stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with the applicable provisions.

Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Introduction
The Company's business strategy is to pursue opportunities in the alternative energy field with a particular emphasis on wind energy. The Company intends to develop wind parks. The Company will assemble land packages (Wind Parks), 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.
Our primary focus has been the acquisition of wind parks in Canada. We have however acquired projects in both the United States and Europe. We financed these acquisitions with cash, shares of our common stock or both.
We began our new business operations with the acquisition of Zero Emission People, LLC. (Zero Emission). The acquisition is deemed to be a reverse acquisition. Wind Works (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Zero Emissions People (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. The combined financial statements of the combined entity are in substance those of Zero Emissions People, 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 business of Zero Emissions People.
Results Of Operations For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2009
Revenues
To date, we have had not generated any revenues. Our cash holdings were generated from the sale of our securities. All funds generated from the sale of our securities are used for general working capital purposes including but not limited to fees associated with power contract submissions and acquisitions.
For the year ended June 30, 2010, we incurred operating expenses totaling $2,477,370 as compared to operating expenses totaling $53,184 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Cumulative operating expenses since May 2, 2008 (Inception) totaled $2,531,704. Our single largest expense items are attributable to our outstanding convertible debt. We recognized $591,043 of accretion expense and $564,130 loss of extinguishment of debt. (See footnote 8). Our largest operating expense is attributable to wind project acquisition development costs totaling $555,420 in 2010 and $46,000 in 2009. With the launch of our new business professional fees incurred with respect to corporate acquisitions, financing and regulatory compliance totaled $127,525 in 2010 as compared to $6,738 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In order to preserve working capital, we incurred $374,348 in stock based compensation. Our net loss for the year ended June 30, 2010 totaled $(1,376,838) as compared to a net loss in 2009 of $(53,184). Total losses since inception were $2,531,704. Basic and diluted loss per share in 2010 totaled $(0.17) as compared to a loss per share of $(0.01) in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Assets and Liabilities
At June 30, 2010 we had cash totaling $39,263, prepaid expenses totaling $625,961 and VAT receivables totaling $57,545. . We have current assets totaling $727,117. Our long term assets total $3,845,484 consisting primarily of the value of our wind farm acquisitions and optioned properties totaling $3,900,735. (See footnote 12.) We have $2,576,433 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $485,216 in convertible debentures and short term notes. Our current liabilities total $3,061,649. We have a working capital deficit of $(2,334,532) and an accumulated deficit of $(2,531,704).
At June 30, 2009 we had nominal assets. Total current asset were $13,850 and long term assets totaled $49,554 consisting of primarily of $49,554 in capitalized lease costs. Our liabilities totaled $7,738 and we had a working capital surplus of $(6,112). We had an accumulated deficit totaling $(54,334).
The significant increase in our assets and liabilities is attributable to our corporate acquisitions and the acquisition of various wind parks.
We will require a significant cash infusion, of which there is no assurance, either through the sale of debt or equity financing in order for us to continue our operations. We may also sell one or several of our wind parks which will provide us with a cash infusion for us to continue our operations. We are currently in negotiations for the sale of a wind park. However, there can be no assurance that this transaction will close.
Plan of Operation For Fiscal Year 2011
We intend to develop the wind parks that we have acquired and investigate other possible purchases. We will also undertake further due diligence with respect to any wind energy projects which have been optioned to us. We may also sell our wind farms to a power utility or company that wants to build out the wind parks.
Any cash infusion that we receive will be used to expand our wind power programs and for general working capital purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Companys consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates - Managements discussion and analysis or plan of operation is based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and long-lived assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting No. 7 (SFAS 7), Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises, as it were devoting substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties. It is industry practice that mining companies in the development stage are classified under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as exploration stage companies. Until such properties are acquired and developed, the Company will continue to prepare its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration or development stage.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, under the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Under the modified prospective method, we are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, will continue to be required under SFAS No. 123(R) to the extent those amounts differ from those in the Statement of Operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not anticipate entering into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the next 12 months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Wind Works Power Corp. (A Development Stage Corporation)
:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wind Works Power Corp. as at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010 and cumulative from inception on May 2, 2008 to June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2010 and cumulative from inception May 2, 2008 to June 30, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 June 30, 2009 comparative figures are the June 30, 2009 financial statements of Zero Emissions People LLC (note 10).
Going Concern
These 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 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 year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized amortization of $10,843 (2009 - $446).
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 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar. The consolidated 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.
2.
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 June 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 carrying value of accounts receivable, due from shareholder, 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:

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.
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.
(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 will adopt ASC 860 on July 1, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 860 will have no impact will have on its consolidated 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.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with assistance from other members of our management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010 and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended June 30, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, we assessed, as of June 30, 2009, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment using those criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, was effective.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
|
|
|
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
For companies registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis for the period which this report relates.
Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
The Company has no formalized any employment agreement with either its past or current officers. Rather, our Board meets on as as needed basis to evaluate compensation issues. Our compensation philosophy is based on our belief that our compensation programs should: be aligned with stockholders interests and business objectives; reward performance; and be externally competitive and internally equitable. We seek to achieve three objectives, which serve as guidelines in making compensation decisions:
(1)
Providing a total compensation package which is competitive and therefore enables us to attract and retain, high-caliber executive personnel;
(2)
Integrating compensation programs with our short-term and long-term strategic plan and business objectives; and
(3)
Encouraging achievement of business objectives and enhancement of stockholder value by providing executive management long-term incentive through equity ownership.
We have not established a compensation package for our current officers or directors. We anticipate that our compensation program will consist of three key elements:
29
▪
A base salary;
▪
A performance bonus; and
▪
Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
Base Salary
. Our chief executive officer and all other officers will receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our chief executive officer.
Performance Bonus
.
A portion of each officers total annual compensation will be in the form of a bonus. All bonus payments to officers must be approved by our compensation committee based on the individual officers performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive
. Stock options are granted to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers.
Our Board has not established any quantifiable criteria with respect to the level of compensation, stock grants or options. Rather, the Board will evaluate cash, stock grants and stock options paid to similarly situated companies after consideration of the Companys financial condition.
With respect to stock grants and options issued to the Companys officers and directors, we consider an overall compensation package that includes both cash and stock based compensation which would be in line with the Companys overall operations and compensation levels paid to similarly situated companies. . The Board grants stock options and shares of our common stock under our Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan. (the Plan). Pursuant to the Plan, the Board may grant non-qualified stock options (Non-Qualified Stock Options), incentive stock options (ISOs, together with Non-Qualified Stock Options referred to herein as Stock Options), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock (Restricted Stock) and registered stock (Registered Stock), (collectively, the Awards) to eligible Participants. To date, our Board has approved the grant of stock awards and stock options to officers and directors. Under the various Plans, the Compensation Committee has the ability to determine the vesting schedule for any award.
All stock options were granted at the market on the date of grant. Under GAAP we were required to value these grants based on the date of grant. The dollar value of both the stock options and the stock awards are accounting entries and do not necessarily reflect actual compensation received by any of our officers.
Retirement Benefits
We currently do not offer any type of retirement savings plan for our executive officers, directors or employees.
Perquisites
None of our executive officers have perquisites in excess of $10,000 in annual value.
Severance Benefits
We currently do not offer any type of severance program for our executive officers or employees. As we expand our operations, we may implement such a plan to preserve employee morale and productivity and encourage retention in the face of the disruptive impact of an actual or rumored workforce reduction or a change in control of our company.
Current Compensation
Beginning in May 2010, Dr. Stuckmann receives CDN $8,000 per month in consideration for serving as our chief executive officer and as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Birge, our chief financial officer, receives CDN $2,500 per month.

The amounts in these columns reflect the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal years indicated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS 123R.). These amounts reflect the Companys accounting expense for these awards, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the named executives.

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.
Employment Agreements
Beginning in May 2010, we pay Dr. Stuckmann our chief executive officer and a director a fee of $8,000 per month. We also pay W. Campbell Birge $2,500 per month in his role as our chief executive officer. There are no written agreements memorializing these agreements.

At this time the Company has not identified any specific individuals or candidates nor has it entered into any negotiations or activities in this regard.
Stock Options Granted/Exercised in Last Year
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 we issued a total of 1 million common stock options to our officers and directors. The options are exercisable at $0.85 per share.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009 there were 16,763,345 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
