1.	ORGANIZATION

Helix Wind, Corp. (“Helix Wind”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 10, 2006 (Inception) and has its headquarters located in Poway, California. Helix Wind was originally named Terrapin Enterprises, Inc. On December 6, 2006, Helix Wind merged its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Black Sea Oil, Inc. into itself and changed its corporate name to Black Sea Oil, Inc. pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger dated December 6, 2006. On November 14, 2008, Helix Wind changed its name from Black Sea Oil, Inc. to Clearview Acquisitions, Inc. pursuant to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. On February 11, 2009, Helix Wind’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Helix Wind Acquisition Corp. was merge d with and into Helix Wind, Inc. (“Subsidiary”), which survived and became Helix Wind’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). On April 16, 2009, Helix Wind changed its name from Clearview Acquisitions, Inc. to Helix Wind, Corp., pursuant to an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Unless the context specifies otherwise, as discussed in Note 2, references to the “Company” refers to Subsidiary prior to the Merger, and Helix Wind, Corp. and the Subsidiary combined thereafter.

Helix Wind was formed to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Helix Wind had no operations up until the Merger, other than issuing shares of its common stock to its original shareholders and conducting a private offering of shares of its common stock. The Company is now engaged through the subsidiary in the alternative energy business offering a distributed power technology platform designed to produce electric energy from the wind. Subsidiary was primarily engaged in the research and development of its proprietary products until the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008, when it began selling products. The Company has commenced the outsourcing process to manufacture its products and has begun to receive purchas e orders from customers. The Company utilizes two distinct distribution channels to market and sell its products: i) direct sales to end users and installers and ii) indirect or channel sales with distributors domestically and internationally.

Helix Wind is authorized to issue up to 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. On November 3, 2008, Helix Wind effected a reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”), as a result of which each 1,000 shares of Helix Wind’s common stock then issued and outstanding was converted into one share of Helix Wind’s common stock.

Immediately prior to the Merger, Helix Wind had 5,135,011 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the Merger, Helix Wind issued 20,546,083 shares of its common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Subsidiary and the promises to issue the same. In addition, there were 11,000,000 shares of its common stock constructively issued under Section 3a-10 of the Securities Act pursuant to the settlement of the disputed described in the Company’s 8K filed December 22, 2008 with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Helix Wind also reserved 5,753,917 shares of its common stock for issuance upon the conversion of certain convertible notes of Subsidiary that were converted into new convertible notes of Helix Wind in connection with the Merg er. At March 31, 2010, there were 60,916,897 shares of Helix Wind’s common stock issued and outstanding. As of the end of the first quarter of 2010, Helix Wind had granted 11,051,240 stock options, of the 13,700,000 stock options available under the stock option plan.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representation of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

Subsequent Events

Recent new accounting standards require that management disclose the date to which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for such date. Accordingly, management has evaluated subsequent events through November 18, 2009, the date upon which the restated financial statements were issued. Other than as disclosed in Note 11, management noted no subsequent events which it believes would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reverse Merger Accounting

Since former Subsidiary security holders owned, after the Merger, approximately 80% of Helix Wind’s shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of the Company’s executive management are from Subsidiary. Subsidiary is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Subsidiary prior to the Merger and that of the combined Company following the Merger, and do not include the historical financial results of Helix Wind prior to the completion of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding ca pital amounts of the Company pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company received cash of $270,229 and assumed net liabilities of $66,414.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements primarily reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Subsidiary (as discussed above). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended Ma rch 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010, or for any other period. Amounts related to disclosures of December 31, 2009, balances within those interim condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from the audited 2009 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed on Form 10-K on April 15, 2010.

Use of Estimates

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for Subsidiary included in Helix Wind’s Form 10K filed on April 15, 2010 with the SEC. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the recognition of revenues, the estimate of the allowance for doubtful account s, the estimate of inventory reserves, estimates of loss contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets, deferred revenues, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share based payments and derivative liability.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit of $1,921,404 excluding the derivative liability of $4,518,519, an accumulated deficit of approximately $37,617,958 at March 31, 2010, recurring losses from operations and negative cash flow from operating activities of $415,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. During 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, the Company raised funds through the issuance of convertible notes payable to investors and through a private placement of the Company’s securities to investors to provide additional working capital. The Company plans to obtain additional financing through the sale of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that such financings will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Trade Accounts Receivable

The Company records trade accounts receivable when its customers are invoiced for products delivered and/or services provided. Management develops its estimate of this allowance based on the Company’s current economic circumstances and its own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Although the Company expects to collect most of the amounts due, actual collections may differ from these estimated amounts. Actual receivables are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company has determined the balance will not be collected. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts is $36,607 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company does not require collateral from its customers, but performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Credit risk with respect to the accounts receivable is limited because of the large number of customers included in the Company’s customer base and the geographic dispersion of those customers.

Receivable Due From Investor

The Company closed a financing transaction under a note and warrant purchase agreement dated March 30, 2010 with St. George Investments, LLC but the $592,000 of funding had not been received by the Company as of March 31, 2010. The cash of $592,000 from this financing was received on April 1, 2010 by the Company.

Patents

Patents represent external legal costs incurred for filing patent applications and their maintenance, and purchased patents. Amortization for patents is recorded using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the patent or its estimated useful life. The Company did not expend any funds for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the purpose of developing patents. No amortization has been taken on these expenditures in accordance with Company policy not to depreciate patents until the patent has been approved and issued by the United States Patent Office.

Inventory

The Company contracts with East West Consulting, Ltd. (“East West”) in Thailand to manage the outsourcing of manufacturing for the Company’s wind turbines. East West directly places orders with suppliers based on a demand schedule provided by the Company. Each supplier holds various quantities in their finished goods inventory for a specified period before it is shipped on behalf of the Company. For finished goods, inventory title passes to the Company when payments have been made to East West for these items. Payments that the Company makes to East West for inventory that is still in process are recognized as prepaid inventory. The suppliers bear the risk of loss during manufacturing as they are fully insured for product within their warehouse. The Company records its finished goods inventory at th e lower of cost (first in first out) or net realizable value. At March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, inventory at various suppliers or at the Company totaled $198,865 and $202,119, respectively. In addition, the Company makes progress payments to East West for inventory being manufactured but not completed consisting of prepaid inventory. There was no prepaid inventory at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009 since all inventory had been paid for.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

ASC 350-30 (formally SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of), addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 350-30 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived asset is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. No impairment losses were recognized as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, and is being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to five years. Non Recurring Equipment (NRE) tooling that was placed in service and paid in full as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is capitalized and being depreciated over 5 years. Tooling that has been partially paid for as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is recognized as a prepaid asset. Costs and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stages of the Company’s website are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stages are capitalized by the Company and amortized to expense over the website’s estimated useful life or period of benefit. Expenditures for re pairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment and website development, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in results of operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-20 (formerly SFAS 123-R, Share Based Payment). Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

We incurred a net loss in each period presented, and as such, did not include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the diluted net loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would include the common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, stock options and convertible debt. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents resulting from outstanding convertible notes at $0.50, warrants not exercised and vested stock options amount to 24,679,604 and 20,252,794 respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are recorded in accordance with the FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition” The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends earlier guidance addressing the accounting for contractual arrangements in which an entity provides multiple products or services (deliverables) to a customer. The amendments address the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting, when applicable, by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. The amendments als o require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the guidance may have on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends earlier guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of guidance for recognizing revenue from the sale of software, but would be accounted for in accordance with other authoritative guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the guidance may have on our financial statements.

If the Company was in violation of any of the related covenants, a “triggering event”, as defined by the agreement, would occur. The agreement is limited to a maximum of two triggering events. The triggering event would cause the principal balance of the note to increase by 25% for each event and the note would start to accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum and if the triggering event caused a default, the Note holder had the option to call the pledged shares of common stock to satisfy the outstanding principal balance.

The Company violated the note’s covenants and incurred two triggering events on February 16, 2010 and February 17, 2010. The violation was a failure to maintain a minimum volume weighted average stock price. As a result of the violation, the principal balance increased by $195,000 and $243,750 on February 16, 2010 and February 17, 2010, respectively. The principal balance was increased to $1,218,750. The Company increased both the principal balance and related discount as an additional finance costs that would be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the note.

The note was also in default on the above dates due to the covenant violations. As a result of the default, the Note holder was issued the 4,800,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company’s stock price on the violation dates was $0.51 and $0.52. The noteholder took possession of the pledged shares, 2,400,000 on each of the violation dates. The Company also issued 4,800,000 shares of common stock to Ian Gardner, a former officer of the Company, to replenish the shares that were pledged. The fair value of the shares issued was $2,472,000. The Company used the covenant violation dates as the measurement dates to value the common stock issued to satisfy the convertible note payable. The excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the principal note payab le balance was charged to the statement of operations to interest expense as an additional finance costs. The Company charged all unamortized debt discount to interest expense upon satisfaction of the outstanding balance.

The second convertible note payable was issued to St. George on March 30, 2010 for $779,500, convertible at anytime after the date of the note into common stock at the lower of (i) average volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) for the three (3) trading days with the lowest average VWAP of the twenty trading days immediately preceding the date set forth on the Conversion Notice or (ii) 50% of the VWAP over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date set forth in the Conversion Notice. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature was a derivative liability based on its variable conversion terms. See Note 6 for disclosure on derivative liabilities. The Company recorded a discount on the convertible note of $779,500 based on the initial issuance cost (discussed belo w) and the fair value of the embedded conversion feature. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature at issuance was $1,016,257. The Company recorded a discount to the note to the extent of the note balance and charged the remainder of the fair value of the embedded conversion feature to interest expense.

The Company received $592,000 in cash, the difference was considered an issuance cost (or prepaid interest) in which the Company recorded a discount to the note and will amortize this discount to interest expense under the effective interest method over the life of the note. The Note did not bear interest as long as certain covenants were maintained. The note was secured by 4,800,000 registered shares of common stock of the Company that was pledged by Ken Morgan, a former officer of the Company. If the Company was in violation of any of the related covenants, a “triggering event”, as defined by the agreement, would occur. The agreement is limited to a maximum of two triggering events. The triggering event would cause the principal balance of the note to increase by 25% for each event and the note would start to accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum and if the triggering event caused a default, the Note holder had the option to call the pledged shares of common stock to satisfy the outstanding principal balance. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance was $779,500. As part of the covenant compliance, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum volume of trading of no less than $100,000 per day on a five day average. The Company must also maintain a minimum volume weighted average price of its common stock o $0.11. The Company does not expect the stock volume and stock price to be able to maintain these minimum requirements. As such, the Company expects the note holder to take possession of the pledged shares and has put 4,800,000 shares of its common stock into an escrow account to replenish shares to Ken Morgan, a former officer of the Company.

During the period ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note payable to Ian Gardner, a former officer of the Company. The note has a principal balance of $144,833 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.50.

The Company has initially recorded a debt discount in the amount of $75,000. The Company amortized the debt discount using the effective interest method over the term of the convertible notes payable which is three years. During the period ended March 31, 2010, there was $0 amortized under this amortization method.

At March 31, 2010, the fair value of all warrants issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible notes payable to related party is estimated to be $233,574. Management estimated the fair value of the warrants based upon the application of the Black-Sholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: expected life of three to five years; risk free interest rate of (1.32% - 2.69%); volatility of (75%) and expected dividend yield of zero. At the date of issuance of the exchange notes, the related Black-Sholes assumptions were: expected life of three years; risk free interest rate of 1.32%; volatility of 59% and expected dividend yield of zero.

6.	DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company issued financial instruments in the form of warrants and convertible notes payable with conversion features. All of the convertible notes payable and warrants contain an anti-dilution provision which “re-set” the related conversion rate and exercise price if any subsequent equity linked instruments are issued with rates lower than those of the outstanding equity linked instruments. The Company also issued two convertible notes payable during the period ended March 31, 2010 with variable conversion rates.

The conversion features of both the convertible notes payable and warrants were analyzed for derivative liabilities under GAAP and the Company has determined that they meet the definition of a derivative liability due to the contracts obligations. Derivative instruments shall also be measured at fair value at each reporting period with gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in the calculation of the instruments fair value are detailed in the table below.

There was no income tax expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the Company’s net losses and a 100% valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

8.	STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

On February 9, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing the Board of Directors or a committee to issue options exercisable for up to an aggregate of 13,700,000 shares of common stock. The Company's Share Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the definitive Schedule 14C Information Statement was filed with the SEC on July 14, 2009.

The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on the Company’s common stock.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of certain share-based payment arrangements:

	March 31, 2010
Annual dividends	0
Expected volatility		59% -75%
Risk-free interest rate		1.76% - 2.70%
Expected life	5 years

Since there is insufficient stock price history that is at least equal to the expected or contractual terms of the Company’s options, the Company has calculated volatility using the historical volatility of similar public entities in the Company’s industry. In making this determination and identifying a similar public company, the Company considered the industry, stage, life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other entities. This resulted in an expected volatility of 59% to 75%.

The expected option term in years is calculated using an average of the vesting period and the option term, in accordance with the “simplified method” for “plain vanilla” stock options allowed under GAAP.

The risk free interest rate is the rate on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a remaining term equal to the expected option term. The expected volatility is derived from an industry-based index, in accordance with the calculated value method.

The Company is required to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur and record expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest. At March 31, 2010, the Company expects all remaining awards issued will be fully vested over the expected life of the awards. During the period ended March 31, 2010, 1,663,248 employee options were pre vested and forfeited in which the Company made an adjustment for compensation previously recognized on these pre vested and forfeited awards of $1,055,239.

Overview

Helix Wind is a small wind solutions company focused on the renewable alternative energy market. Helix Wind’s headquarters are located in San Diego, CA.

Helix Wind provides energy independence utilizing wind – a resource that never runs out. Wind power is an abundant, renewable, emissions free energy source that can be utilized on large and small scales. At the soul of Helix Wind lies the belief that energy self sufficiency is a responsible and proactive goal that addresses the ever-increasing consequences of legacy energy supply systems.

Plan of Operations

Helix Wind’s strategy is to pursue selected opportunities that are characterized by reasonable entry costs, favorable economic terms, high reserve potential relative to capital expenditures and the availability of existing technical data that may be further developed using current technology.��

Results of Operations – For the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009

Revenues

The Company generated $5,637 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 1 unit that a customer received during the first quarter 2010. The unit received by customer was comprised of 1 S-322 (residential) unit. The Company generated approximately $401,000 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 37 units that customers had received during the first quarter 2009. The units received by customers were comprised of 12 S-322 (residential) units and 25 S-594 (commercial) units.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues of $4,454 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 represented the direct product costs from the manufacturer associated with the bill of material for the S-322 unit received by customer in the first quarter. The cost of revenues of approximately $314,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 represented the direct product costs from the manufacturer associated with the bill of material for the S-322 and the S-594 units received by customers in the first quarter.

Research and development

Cost incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, research and development costs incurred were $93,301 and $358,448, respectively. The decrease primarily related to the decrease in the amount of share based payments related to stock options as well as reduced engineering and development cost incurred during first quarter 2010.

Total operating expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, total operating expenses were $701,470 and $10,014,603, respectively. Research and development costs decreased $265,147 and the decrease related to the selling, general and administrative expenses was $9,047,986. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $700,000 relating to professional fees which included a non cash expense increase of $817,000 from the issuance of stock for consulting and fund raising activities and decreased approximately $9,700,000 from share based payments related to stock options as there fair market value decreased significantly.

Other income and expense

The Company had other income (expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of $18,992,414 and $(19,759,171) respectively. The increase primarily resulted from decrease in interest expense recorded for the convertible and non-convertible notes of approximately $505,260, decrease in loss from debt extinguishment of approximately $12,038,781, decrease in the change in fair value of derivative liability of approximately $28,361,087 offset by the loss recorded on the termination of the Abundant Renewable Energy acquisition of approximately $2,158,591.

Net loss

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the net income (loss) was $18,291,327 and $(29,686,766), respectively as a result of the variance described above.

Going Concern

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern” because the Company has incurred continuing losses for operations, has negative working capital of approximately $1,921,404 excluding the derivative liability of $4,518,519 and accumulated deficit of approximately $37,617,958 at March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Helix Wind had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,921,404 and $2,640,578 excluding the derivative liability of $4,518,519 and $30,854,755 respectively. The negative working capital at March 31, 2010 results primarily from accounts payable of approximately $1,216,398, accrued interest of $292,743, accrued compensation $288,487, short term debt of $780,907 and an offset by $592,000 due from investor. The negative balance in 2009 results primarily from accounts payable of $1,120,020. The income of approximately $18,291,327 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was comprised of a decrease of approximately $25,930,072 in change in fair value of derivative liabilities, offset by a loss of $2,158,591on Abundant Renewable Energy purchase agreement termination, interest expense of $4,784,109 and the balance in the company’s first quarter operating expenses The deficit of approximately $29,686,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was comprised of approximately $358,000 for research and development, $50,000 for sales and marketing, $9,130,185 for share based payments for stock options, $19,759,171 of interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value for the derivative liability, and the balance for working capital relating to general and administrative expenses. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $415,379 resulting from funding from the issuance of convertible notes payable and cash provided from financing activities at March 31, 2009 totaled $960,229 resulting from the funding from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

Helix Wind expects significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months, contingent upon raising capital. We anticipate that we will need $5,000,000 for operations for the next 12 months. These anticipated expenditures are for manufacturing of systems, infrastructure, overhead and working capital purposes.

Helix Wind presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, Helix Wind’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. Helix Wind will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that Helix Wind will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

Helix Wind will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but Helix Wind cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of Helix Wind’s common stock and a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if Helix Wind is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing . Further, if Helix Wind issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of Helix Wind’s common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, Helix Wind will have to curtail its operations.

On February 11, 2009, the Company exchanged existing convertible notes (12% notes) for 9% convertible notes. In addition to the stated interest rate, the exchange transaction also modified the conversion rate as well as the issuance of 5,753,918 warrants to the various convertible note holders. The total amount of the 12% notes exchanged was $2,234,579. This amount included principal plus accrued interest charges and other charges. In addition, the Company issued new convertible 9% notes subsequent to February 11, 2009 for $1,065,257.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

The Company exchanged 12% convertible notes of Helix Wind, Inc. for its own 9% convertible notes during the first quarter as a part of the merger transaction with Helix Wind, Inc. The new notes are convertible into common shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price $0.50 per share. In addition, for each share of common stock into which such notes can convert, the noteholder received one warrant at an exercise price of $0.75.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may materially differ from our estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2010, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the following matters:

●	We identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.

●

Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to valuation of share based payments, the valuation of warrants, and other complex debt / equity transactions. Specifically, this material weakness lead to segregation of duties issues and resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, share based payments, valuation of warrants and other equity transactions.

Our plan to remediate those material weaknesses remaining is as follows:

●

Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we generate significantly more revenue, or raise significant additional working capital.

●	Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

In the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This report includes forward-looking statements about our business and results of operations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements," above. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below. In addition to the risk factors discussed below, we are also subject to additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business could be harmed substantially.

Risks Related To Our Financial Condition and Our Business

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.” Accordingly, there is significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our business began recording revenues in 2009 and we may never become profitable. As of March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $37,617,958 and a negative working capital of $1,921,404 excluding the derivative liability of $4,518,519. A significant amount of capital will be necessary to advance the development of our product to the point at which they will become commercially viable and these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we continue incurring losses and fail to achieve profitability, we may have to cease our operations. Our financial condition raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a “going concern”, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their report on our financial statements as of March 31, 2010. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty as to whether we will continue as a “going concern”. Our ability to continue status as a “going concern” is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations. Our business plans may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a “ going concern”, you may lose your entire investment in us.

We do not have sufficient cash on hand. If we do not generate sufficient revenues from sales among other factors, we will be unable to continue our operations.

We estimate that within the next 12 months we will need $5,000,000 for operations, and we do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet this requirement. Although we are seeking additional sources of debt or equity financings, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain any additional financing. We recognize that if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or obtain debt or equity financing, we will not be able to earn profits and may not be able to continue operations.

There is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to continue to generate enough operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow the business, then we may have to scale back or even cease ongoing business operations.

We have a very limited history of revenues from operations ($1,200,000 to date). We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to sign customer contracts or operate on a profitable basis. As we are in the early production stage, potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered in commercializing the product. If the business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in us.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding, business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

We anticipate that we will require up to $5,000,000 to fund continued operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenue, if any, from operations. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement overall business strategy. We currently do not have any contracts or commitments for additional financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail and possibly cease operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to then ex isting shareholders.

We have significant debt obligations, and if we fail to restructure or repay or outstanding indebtedness, the lenders may take actions that would have a material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company has significant outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had an aggregate outstanding balance of $2,718,042 in convertible debt obligations (including accrued interest). If the lenders under these convertible notes do not convert and demand repayment, the Company does not have the cash to pay its debt obligations. Our failure to repay this debt could result in events of default under the convertible notes which provide the lenders with certain rights, including the right to institute an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against the Company. If the debt remains unpaid past the due dates and the lenders choose to exercise their rights of default, the Company may be forced to seek the protection afforded by Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws which would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s default on its debt obligations or potential need to seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit business activity which may result in a loss of your investment.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our business activity. As such we may not be able to complete the sales and marketing efforts required to drive our sales. In that event, if we cannot generate revenues, you will lose your investment.

If we are unable to continue to retain the services of Messrs. Scott Weinbrandt or Kevin Claudio, or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and company personnel having experience in the small wind turbine industry, we may not be able to continue operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Scott Weinbrandt, Chairman, CEO and President, and Kevin Claudio, Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of Messrs. Weinbrandt or Claudio could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. Both of these individuals are committed to devoting substantially all of their time and energy to us through their respective employment agreements. Any of these employees could leave us with little or no prior notice. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any of our employees. Additionally, there are a limited number of qualified technical personnel with significant experience in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of our wind turbines, and we may face challen ges hiring and retaining these types of employees.

In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and company personnel having experience in the small wind turbine business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

We are a new entrant into the small wind turbine industry without profitable operating history.

As of March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $37,617,958. We expect to derive our future revenues from sales of our systems, however, these revenues are highly uncertain. We continue to devote substantial resources to expand our sales and marketing activities, further increase manufacturing capacity, and expand our research and development activities. As a result, we expect that our operating losses will increase and that we may incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

If we are unable to successfully achieve broad market acceptance of our systems, we may not be able to generate enough revenues in the future to achieve or sustain profitability.

We are dependent on the successful commercialization of our systems. The market for small wind turbines is at an early stage of development. The market for our systems is unproven. The technology may not gain adequate commercial acceptance or success for our business plan to succeed.

If we cannot establish and maintain relationships with distributors, we may not be able to increase revenues.

In order to increase our revenues and successfully commercialize our systems, we must establish and maintain relationships with our existing and potential distributors. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more significant customers could significantly reduce our revenues and could damage our reputation among our current and potential customers. We currently have approximately 33 signed distribution agreements throughout the United States and international locations, however, the agreements have no termination penalties.

We were recently sued by one of our distributors and may face additional lawsuits in the future.

We were recently named in a lawsuit by one of our distributors for claims which include misrepresentation, breach of contact, breach of warranties and unfair practices under consumer protection statutes relating to our products and performance under the distribution agreement. While we believe we have defenses to these claims, there is a potential that the claims could be decided against us, which could result on our obligation to pay damages to the distributor, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Additionally, we could face similar lawsuits from distributors or customers in the future.

If we can not assemble a large number of our systems, we may not meet anticipated market demand or we may not meet our product commercialization schedule.

To be successful, we will have to assemble our systems in large quantities at acceptable costs while preserving high product quality and reliability. If we cannot maintain high product quality on a large scale, our business will be adversely affected. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production of our systems, including problems with the supply of key components, even if we are successful in developing our assembly capability, we do not know whether we will do so in time to meet our product commercialization schedule or satisfy the requirements of our customers. In addition, product enhancements need to be implemented to various components of the platform to provide better overall quality and uptime in high wind regimes. The system is now rated to support 100 mp h sustained winds. The implementation of the enhancements to our system may also delay significant production by requiring additional manufacturing changes and technical support to facilitate the manufacturing process.

If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we may not be able to pay our key suppliers.

Our ability to pay key suppliers on time will allow us to effectively manage our business. Currently we have a large outstanding liability with our product manufacturer that is inhibiting us from receiving additional units at this time. In addition, we have other large outstanding accounts payable with key suppliers that may inhibit the Company from receiving system product in the future.

If we experience quality control problems or supplier shortages from component suppliers, our revenues and profit margins may suffer.

Our dependence on third-party suppliers for components of our systems involves several risks, including limited control over pricing, availability of materials, quality and delivery schedules. Any quality control problems or interruptions in supply with respect to one or more components or increases in component costs could materially adversely affect our customer relationships, revenues and profit margins.

International expansion will subject us to risks associated with international operations that could increase our costs and decrease our profit margins.

International operations are subject to several inherent risks that could increase our costs and decrease our profit margins including:

- reduced protection of intellectual property rights;

- changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

- changes in a specific country’s economic conditions;

- trade protective measures and import or export requirements or other restrictive actions by foreign governments; and

- changes in tax laws.

If we cannot effectively manage our internal growth, our business prospects, revenues and profit margins may suffer.

If we fail to effectively manage our internal growth in a manner that minimizes strains on our resources, we could experience disruptions in our operations and ultimately be unable to generate revenues or profits. We expect that we will need to significantly expand our operations to successfully implement our business strategy. As we add marketing, sales and build our infrastructure, we expect that our operating expenses and capital requirements will increase. To effectively manage our growth, we must continue to expend funds to improve our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we must effectively expand, train and manage our employee base. If we fail in our efforts to manage our internal growth, o ur prospects, revenue and profit margins may suffer.

Our technology competes against other small wind turbine technologies. Competition in our market may result in pricing pressures, reduced margins or the inability of our systems to achieve market acceptance.

We compete against several companies seeking to address the small wind turbine market. We may be unable to compete successfully against our current and potential competitors, which may result in price reductions, reduced margins and the inability to achieve market acceptance. The current level of market penetration for small wind turbines is relatively low and as the market increases, we expect competition to grow significantly. Our competition may have significantly more capital than we do and as a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily.

Our inability to protect our patents and proprietary rights in the United States and foreign countries could materially adversely affect our business prospects and competitive position.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other proprietary-right protection for our technology and systems in the United Stated and other countries. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary rights.

If we cannot effectively increase and enhance our sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to increase our revenues.

We need to further develop our sales and marketing capabilities to support our commercialization efforts. If we fail to increase and enhance our marketing and sales force, we may not be able to enter new or existing markets. Failure to recruit, train and retain new sales personnel, or the inability of our new sales personnel to effectively market and sell our systems, could impair our ability to gain market acceptance of our systems.

If we encounter unforeseen problems with our current technology offering, it may inhibit our sales and early adoption of our product.

We are in the process of shipping our third production run of units and continue to improve on the products performance capabilities, but any unforeseen problems relating to the units operating effectively in the field could have a negative impact on adoption, future shipments and our operating results.

We are to establish and maintain required disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and to meet the public reporting and the financial requirements for our business.

Our management has a legal and fiduciary duty to establish and maintain disclosure controls and control procedures in compliance with the securities laws, including the requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. Because we have limited resources, we may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accounting firm is new and we may encounter problems or delays in com pleting the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accounting firm. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective or provide adequate disclosure controls or implement sufficient control procedures, or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

Risks Related to Common Stock

There is a significant risk of our common shareholders being diluted as a result of our outstanding convertible securities.

We have 60,916,897 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2010. We also have outstanding an aggregate of $2,718,042 of 9% Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2010 which may be converted into shares of common stock at the conversion rate as provided in the convertible notes. In addition, we recently completed a financing described in this report with St. George Investments, LLC pursuant to which we issued a convertible note and warrants which, if exercised, would result in a significant amount of additional shares of common stock outstanding. Further, we anticipate the need to raise additional capital which would also result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock and/or securities convertible into our common stock. Accordingly, a com mon shareholder has a significant risk of having its interest in our company being significantly diluted.

The large number of shares eligible for immediate and future sales may depress the price of our stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As discussed above, we had 60,916,897 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2010, and a significant amount of additional shares issuable upon exercise and conversion of our outstanding warrants, stock options and convertible notes.

Because we have available a significant number of authorized shares of common stock, we may issue additional shares for a variety of reasons which will have a dilutive effect on our shareholders and on your investment, resulting in reduced ownership and in our company and decreased voting power, or may result in a change of control.

Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized amount stated in our Articles of Incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or other types of property, or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of the company.

Additional financings may dilute the holdings of our current shareholders.

In order to provide capital for the operation of the business, we may enter into additional financing arrangements. These arrangements may involve the issuance of new shares of common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interests of existing common shareholders. In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock.

There is currently a limited public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

There has been a limited public market for our common stock and an active public market for our common stock may not develop. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your investment in us. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult.

If the market price for our common stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules would require that any broker-dealer that would recommend our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations would require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny s tock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
