Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of China Wind Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in China Wind Energy’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on October 29, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements as reported in the 2009 annual report on Form 10-K have been omitted.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to obsolete inventory, useful life and recoverability of long lived assets, and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income.
Reclassifications
Certain January 31, 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued new standards setting forth a single source of authoritative GAAP for all non-governmental entities (“Codification”). The Codification, which commenced July 1, 2009, changes the referencing and organization of accounting guidance. The Codification is effective for the Company beginning the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Codification does not change GAAP and only affects how specific references to GAAP literature are disclosed in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on business combinations. This guidance requires an entity to measure the business acquired at fair value and to recognize goodwill attributable to any non-controlling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) rather than just the portion attributable to the acquirer. The standards also result in fewer exceptions to the principle of measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value. In addition, the standards require payments to third parties for consulting, legal, audit and similar services associated with an acquisition to be recognized as expenses when incurred rather than capitalized as part of the business combination. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standard on consolidation as it relates to noncontrolling interests. The standard changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which were recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The standard requires retrospective adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of the standard will be applied prospectively. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. FASB ASC 855 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this standard effective June 15, 2009, and has evaluated any subsequent events through March 17, 2010.
2. GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficits of $5,128,224 at January 31, 2010 that includes a loss of $432,522 for the three months ended January 31, 2010. The Company also had a working capital deficiency of $3,375,468 as of January 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of this uncertainty.
At January 31, 2010, the Company has suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.
3. SHORT TERM LOANS
Short term loans consist of the following:
| | January 31, 2010 | | | July 31, 2009 | |
12-month Bank Loan bearing interest at 5.841% per annum and maturing in February 2010 | | $ | 1,467,000 | | | $ | 1,465,700 | |
Loans from individuals | | | 895,279 | | | | 645,805 | |
Short term loan | | $ | 2,362,279 | | | $ | 2,111,505 | |
The Company pledged the building and land located in Binxi city as collateral of the bank loan. In February 2010, the loan became mature and was paid off.
Loans from individuals were made by individuals to cover the Company’s temporary cash shortages. The short term loans are unsecured and due on demand. Not all of the loans are interest-bearing. For interest bearing loans, the interest rate is ranging from 14% to 40% per annum.
Interest expenses for short term loans are $70,801 and $39,544 for the quarter ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
4. OTHER ADVANCE RECEIPTS
On November 6, 2007, the Company signed a contract with Heilongjiang Nongkentaixing Real Estate Development Co. Ltd to sell the Company’s land use rights in Harbin City. The total contract price is approximately $10,308,827. The Company is obligated to clear the original buildings on the land before the transfer of the land use rights can be completed.
In October 2008, the title transfer was approved by the government and by July 31, 2009, the company had received net proceeds of $7,694,925. The remaining proceeds net of sales tax for the amount of $882,351 was included as accounts receivable at July 31, 2009. By January 31, 2010, the Company had received the proceeds. Loss on the disposal of land use rights for the amount of $1.7 million was recognized for the year ended July 31, 2009.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 17, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were issued, and has concluded that no such events or transactions took place which would require disclosure herein.

Our working capital deficit was $3,375,468 at January 31, 2010.
We currently generate our cash flow through our operations. We believe that our cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next 12 months. There is no identifiable expansion plan as of January 31, 2010, but from time to time, we may identify new business opportunities to improve the profitability and working capital from operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC on October 29, 2009. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to obsolete inventory, useful life and recoverability of long lived assets, and goodwill. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our functional currency is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Our financial statements are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for the equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income.
Not applicable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), 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 and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2010. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls and disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended July 31, 2009, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter covered by this period there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our majority owned subsidiary, Harbin SQ, was named as a defendant in a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs alleged that illegal transfers and misleading promotion of Harbin SQ’s shares to the public occurred through securities brokers. The plaintiffs, 51 current stockholders representing 1,018,000 outstanding shares, acquired Harbin SQ’s shares through securities brokers from Harbin SQ’s initial stockholders and sought monetary damages from Harbin SQ, including the costs of acquiring the shares, expenses and imputed interest.
In September 2008 the claims of the plaintiffs were refuted in a judgment of the Court of Bin County, Heilongjiang Province. On May 25, 2009, several of the plaintiffs appealed the decision to a higher court, but a date for the hearing has not been set.
