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 f or 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, historica l 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 April 30, 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficits of $5,423,847 at April 30, 2010 that includes a loss of $359,902 for the three months ended April 30, 2010. The Company also had a working capital deficiency of $3,637,259 as of April 30, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, the Company may raise additional capital through borrowings from individuals. 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 April 30, 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.

Trends
We are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.
Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material or significant impact on our revenue or our results of operations.
Working Capital
Our working capital deficit was $3,637,259 at April 30, 2010.
We currently are not generating our cash flow through our operations. We believe that our cash flow generated from operations will not be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any 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 var ious 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.

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 operati on of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 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. Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.
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.
Our management is not aware of any other legal proceedings that have been threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries.
