ORGANIZATION
|
Helix
Wind, Corp. (“Helix Wind”) (formerly Clearview Acquisitions, Inc.) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 10, 2006
(Inception) and has its headquarters located in San Diego,
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 merged 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 its
products. The Company has commenced the outsourcing process to
manufacture its products and has begun to receive purchase 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 resellers 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 (formerly Clearview
Acquisitions, Inc.) 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 the Subsidiary. Included in the Merger recapitalization of Helix
Wind there were 11,000,000 shares of its common stock issued pursuant to the
settlement of the dispute described in the Company’s Form 8-K 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 Merger. In third quarter of
2009, Helix Wind issued 1,185,635 shares of its common stock upon conversion of
certain convertible notes and warrants of Subsidiary. The Company
also granted 95,000 new shares of its common stock during the third quarter of
2009. At September 30, 2009, there were 38,715,361 shares of Helix
Wind’s common stock issued and outstanding.

BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
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 (formerly Clearview Acquisitions, Inc.) prior to
the completion of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital 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

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 Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March
31, 2009 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 accounts, 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 liabilities.

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 an accumulated
deficit of approximately $63,000,000 at September 30, 2009, recurring losses
from operations and negative cash flow from operating activities from inception
to September 30, 2009. 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 2008 and the first nine months of 2009, 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 wholly-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. Management
believes that they did not require an allowance for doubtful accounts, as there
are no customer accounts with material collection risk at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008. Although the Company expects to collect 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
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.
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. 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 the lower of cost (first in first out) or net realizable
value. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, inventory at various
suppliers or at the Company totaled $330,829 and $213,085, respectively. In
addition, the Company makes progress payments to East West for inventory being
manufactured but not yet completed in the form of prepaid
inventory. There was no prepaid inventory at September 30,
2009.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets must 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 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
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 September 30, 2009 is recognized as fixed assets and being
depreciated over 5 years. Tooling that has been partially paid for as of
September 30, 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
repairs 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.

The
Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were not
significant.
Research
and Development Costs
Costs
incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. Purchased
materials that do not have an alternative future use and the cost to develop
prototypes of production equipment are also expensed. Costs incurred after the
production process is viable and a working model of the equipment has been
completed will be capitalized as long-lived assets. For the quarters ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, research and development costs incurred were
$434,808 and $115,548, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, $1,045,433 and $252,492, respectively.
Deferred
Revenue
The
Company receives a deposit for up to 50% of the sales price when the purchase
order is received from a customer, which is recorded as deferred revenue until
the product is shipped. The Company had received purchase orders from various
domestic and international customers to purchase approximately 122 wind turbines
and the Company has shipped 90 units as of September 30, 2009. The Company had
deferred revenue of $150,205 and $373,598 as of September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008, respectively, relating deposits received for the unshipped
units.
Derivative
Liabilities and Classification
We
evaluate free-standing instruments (or embedded derivatives) indexed to the
Company’s common stock to properly classify such instruments within equity or as
liabilities in our financial statements. Accordingly, the classification of an
instrument indexed to our stock, which is carried as a liability, must be
reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result
of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the
date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the
number of times a contract may be reclassified.

Exchange
Notes – Convertible Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable to Related
Party, net of discount
On
February 11, 2009, in connection with and as part of the Merger, the Company
exchanged existing convertible notes (“12% notes”) for 9% convertible notes (
the “Exchange Notes”). Prior to the Merger, the total amount of the 12% notes
exchanged was $2,234,579. This amount included principal of
$1,874,448 plus accrued interest charges of $146,866 and other premiums of
$213,265. The Exchange Notes had a principal amount at September 30,
2009, of $2,209,347, bearing interest at 9% per annum, with principal and
interest due three years from the date of issuance. The Exchange Notes required
no payment of principal or interest during the term and may be converted to our
common stock at the conversion price of $0.50 per share at any time at the
option of the note holder. In addition to the stated interest rate; the exchange
transaction also modified the conversion rate as well as the issuance of
5,469,158 warrants to the various convertible note holders, the warrants have an
exercise price of $0.75 per share for each share of the Company issuable upon
conversion of the note. The warrants expire 5 years from issuance and
contain cashless exercise provisions which are settled in shares. The
warrants and notes were issued in connection with a registration rights
agreement.
The
Company concluded that the changes in the note agreements,
conversion feature and warrants were considered substantive and accordingly
the transaction should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and an
issuance of new debt. As such, the Company recorded a loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $12,038,787 which is recorded in other
expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The
Company initially recorded a discount to the Exchange Notes of $2,234,579.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $25,232 of the Exchange Notes
was converted into common stock (the unamortized debt discount related to the
converted note was immediately charged to interest expense on the day the note
was converted) as described under Notes 6 and 9 below. 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 nine months ended
September 30, 2009 there was $0 amortized under this amortization
method.
Reverse
Merger Notes-Convertible Notes Payable, net of discount
On
February 11, 2009 upon completion of the Merger, the Company issued $650,000 of
convertible notes payable to 3 different note holders (“Reverse Merger
Notes”). The Reverse Merger Notes had a principal amount at September
30, 2009, of $200,000 (after the conversion of $450,000 into the Company’s
common stock as described in Notes 6 and 9 below), bearing interest at 9% per
annum, with principal and interest due three years from the date of issuance.
The Reverse Merger Notes required no payment of principal or interest during the
term and may be converted to the Company’s common stock at the conversion price
of $0.50 per share at any time at the option of the note holder. The
Company also issued 1,300,000 warrants to the various note holders; the warrants
have an exercise price of $0.75 per share for each share of the Company issuable
upon conversion of the note. The warrants expire 5 years from
issuance and contain cashless exercise provisions which are settled in
shares. The warrants and notes were issued in connection with a
registration rights agreement.
The
Company has initially recorded a debt discount to the Reverse Merger Notes in
the amount of $650,000. During the nine months ended September
30, 2009, $450,000 of the Reverse Merger Notes was converted into common stock
(the unamortized debt discount related to the converted note was immediately
charged to interest expense on the day the note was converted). The
Company amortized the debt discount using the effective interest method over the

DERIVATIVE
LIABILITIES
|
As
described in Note 5, 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
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. At March 31,
2009, the value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion features
was $10,879,732 and the derivative liability for the warrants was
$11,894,545. During the quarter ending June 30, 2009, the Company
issued additional derivative liabilities with initial fair value for the
embedded conversion features of $4,063,805 and warrants of $4,034,638; the
excess of the initial fair value over the amount of debt discount was recorded
as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
operations. During the quarter ending September 30, 2009, the Company
issued additional derivative liabilities with an initial fair value for the
embedded conversion feature of $4,773,215and warrants of $5,330,966; the excess
of the initial value over the amount of debt discount was recorded as interest
expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
operations.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, $375,232 of convertible notes payable was
converted into common stock of the Company. The Company performed a
final mark-to-market for the derivative liability related to the converted notes
and the carrying amount of the derivative liability related to the conversion
feature on the date of conversion of $1,279,333 was re-classed to additional
paid in capital in the accompanying condensed statements of shareholders’

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a charge of $11,489,557 based on the change in fair value (mark-to-market adjustment) of both the warrant derivative liability and the embedded conversion feature derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The value of the derivative liability was $41,082,944 at June 30, 2009.
During

converted into common stock of the Company. The Company performed a
mark to market valuation for the derivative liability for the converted notes
and the fair value carrying amount of the derivative liability on the date of
conversion of $1,665,632 was reclassified to additional paid in capital in the
accompanying condensed statement of shareholders’ deficit. During the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, 700,000 warrants were exercised on a cashless
basis. As with the convertible notes payable, the Company performed a
mark to market valuation for the derivative liability associated with the
exercised warrants and the fair value carrying amount of the derivative
liability on the date of exercise of $1,631,392 was reclassified to additional
paid in capital in the accompanying condensed statement of shareholders’
deficit.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized a decrease in fair
value (mark to market adjustment) of $5,158,406 of our derivative
liability. The decrease in fair value of the derivative liability was
associated with both the embedded conversion feature and the
warrants. The value of the derivative liability was $42,731,694 at

These
derivative liabilities have been measured in accordance with fair value
measurements, as defined by GAAP. The valuation assumptions are

These
instruments were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future
cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign
operation. The instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting, and
as such, all future changes in the fair value will be recognized currently in
earnings until such time as the instruments are exercised, converted or
expire. The following assumptions were used to determine the
fair value of the warrants as of September 30, 2009 and at date of issuance of

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
Company’s method of accounting for income taxes is the asset and liability
approach. There was no income tax expense recorded for the quarter or nine
months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008, due to the Company’s net losses and a
100% valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
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.
There were 11,651,240 options granted during the nine months ended September 30,
2009, at an exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.70 per share. 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:

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% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
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 September
30, 2009, the Company expects all awards issued will be fully vested over the
expected life of the awards.

Legal
Matters
From time
to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business,
which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject
to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary
damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting the Company from selling
one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an
unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s results of operations for that period or future

In
December of 2008 we entered into a settlement agreement and release (“Settlement
Agreement”) with Bluewater Partners, S.A., IAB Island Ventures, S.A., CAT
Brokerage AG, and David Lillico (collectively, “Bluewater”) in order to settle a
lawsuit with Bluewater originally filed in the Supreme Court of New York State,
County of New York on December, 17, 2008, and subsequently moved to the Circuit
Court for the 15th
Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida on February 20,
2009. In this lawsuit, Bluewater alleged that the Company failed to
pay approximately $96,000 due under certain promissory notes issued to Bluewater
by the Company. Among other things, the Settlement Agreement required
us to issue 11,000,000 shares of our common stock to Bluewater pursuant to
Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to obtain the
approval of a court with appropriate jurisdiction of the terms and conditions
for such issuance after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and
conditions. On March 25, 2009, the Circuit Court for the 15 the
Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida approved the terms and conditions
of the issuance of the 11,000,000 shares in accordance with the Settlement
Agreement and the Settlement Agreement became final.
On
October 9, 2009, a former employee served a complaint in San Diego Superior
Court against the Company, Scott Weinbrandt, our Chairman and President, and Ian
Gardner, our Chief Executive Officer. The Complaint allegations include breach
of the plaintiff’s employment agreement, unpaid wages, and related
claims. All of these claims relate to Plaintiff’s allegation that he
was unfairly forced out of the Company. Although no specific amount
of damages are alleged, the Company believes the amount of back wages being
sought is approximately $98,500 and the Company has accrued such amount at
September 30, 2009.

Overview
Helix
Wind is a small wind solutions company focused on the renewable alternative
energy market. We develop or acquire small wind products and
solutions for different vertical markets worldwide. Helix Wind is
engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of small wind vertical axis
turbines designed to generate 300W, 1kW, 2.0kW, 4.0kW, and 50kW of clean
renewable electricity. Helix Wind was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Nevada on January 10, 2006. The Company’s headquarters are located
in San Diego, California
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.
Revenues
We
generate substantially all of our net sales from the sale of small wind
turbines. Helix Wind uses a mix of a direct and indirect distribution
model. Direct sales personnel are employed to offer extra coverage of
the United States as a vast majority of our lead generation is from this
area. We continue to rollout our distribution network. Our structure
is built on a non-exclusivity of territory but exclusivity of
leads. Therefore, we define a reasonable territory the distributors
can cover from a sales and service point of view. We demand no reselling of our
products as well as define a retail price which must be adhered to by all
distributors, as a condition of their agreement with Helix Wind. Pricing in the
Euro zone is subject to the fluctuation of the exchange rate between the euro
and U.S. dollar. Distributors must adhere to the price guidelines which is based
on our U.S. retail price, subject to adjustment each quarter to take into
account the currency exchange on the last day of the previous quarter.
Confirmation of an order is given on receipt of a signed purchase agreement with
a 50% deposit in U.S. dollars. Sales are recognized and title and
risk is passed on delivery to customers in the United States and by delivery CIF
to international locations. Our customers do not have extended payment terms or
rights of cancellation under these contracts. No single customer
accounted for more than 17% of our revenue for the nine months ended September
30, 2009.

Cost
of Sales
Our cost
of sales includes the cost of raw material and components such as blades,
rotors, invertors, mono poles and other components. Other items
contributing to our cost of sales are the direct assembly labor and manufactured
overhead from our component suppliers and East West, a Thailand company that
manages the manufacturing and distribution of our products. Overall,
we currently expect our cost of sales per unit to decrease as we ramp production
lots in the future to meet the product demands from our customers.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit is affected by numerous factors, including our average selling prices,
distributor discounts, foreign exchange rates, and our manufacturing
costs. Another factor impacting gross profits is the ramp of
production going forward. As a result of the above, gross profits may
vary from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Research
and development.
Research
and development expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related
costs and the cost of products, materials and outside services used in our
process and product research and development activities.
Selling,
general and administrative
Selling,
general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other
personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, travel expense,
other selling expenses as well as share based compensation expense relating to
stock options. We expect these expenses to increase in the near term,
both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales, in order to support
the growth of our business as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, improve
our information processes and systems and implement the financial reporting,
compliance and other infrastructure required by a public
company. Over time, we expect selling, general and administrative
expense to decline as a percentage of net sales as our net sales
increase.
Other
Expenses
Use
of estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial
information. The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets,
liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates,
including those related to inventories, intangible assets, income taxes,
warranty obligations, marketable securities valuation, derivative financial
instrument valuation, end-of-life collection and recycling, contingencies and
litigation and share based compensation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources.

Cost
of Revenues
The cost
of revenues of $324,690 for the three months ended September 30, 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
third quarter of 2009. There was no revenue and therefore, no cost of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Gross
profit increased by $123,383 from $1,500 in the three months ended September 30,

increase in revenue. The Company’s first product shipments to
customers occurred in 2009. Prior to 2009, the Company was in its
development stage.
Research

$115,548 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $434,808 in the three
months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the increase of
$95,091 relating to product development and testing that continued to ramp

as a result of interest expense recorded for the fair value of the
convertible notes of approximately $9,213,042 and a decrease to the change
in fair value of derivative liability of approximately
$(5,116,562).
Provision
for income taxes
We made
no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 due to net losses incurred except for minimum tax
liabilities. We have determined that due to our continuing operating
losses as well as the uncertainty of the timing of profitability in future
periods, we should fully reserve our deferred tax assets.

Financial Condition and
Liquidity
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Helix Wind had a working
capital deficit of approximately $44,446,000 and $2,742,000
respectively. The negative working capital in 2009 results
primarily from the derivative liability relating to the convertible notes and
fair value of the warrants of approximately $42,732,000, short term debt of
$605,000, accounts payable of approximately $999,000 and other changes to
various accounts totaling $110,000 and the negative balance in 2008 results
primarily from notes payable of $2,072,000, accounts payable of $449,215 and
various other accrued liabilities of $220,700. The net
loss of approximately $60,431,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 was comprised of approximately $1,045,000 for research and development,
$808,000 for sales and marketing, $13,822,000 for share based compensation
expense for stock options, $43,015,000 of interest, loss on debt extinguishment
and change in fair value of derivative liability relating to the
convertible notes and fair value of the warrants and the balance for working
capital relating to general and administrative expenses. The net
loss of approximately $1,323,067 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 was comprised of approximately $252,000 for research and development and
the balance for working capital relating to general and administrative
expenses. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 totaled $2,705,000 resulting from funding from the
issuance of convertible notes payable and cash provided from financing
activities at September 30, 2008 totaled $1,620,814 resulting from the
funding from the issuance of convertible notes payable.
The
Company has funded its operations to date through the private offering of debt
and equity securities.

Helix
Wind expects significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months,
contingent upon raising capital. We currently anticipate that we will need
$4,000,000 for operations and $3,000,000 for acquisitions already contracted for
the next 12 months. These anticipated expenditures are for manufacturing of
systems, infrastructure, overhead, integration of acquisitions 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 $2,870,365 as of September 30,
2009.
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. In addition, subsequent to the reverse merger transaction
on February 11, 2009, the Company issued new 9% convertible notes and warrants
with the same terms and conditions described above.

Critical Accounting
Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates include those related to the debt discount, valuation of derivative
liabilities and stock based compensation, and those associated with the
realization of long-lived assets.
Long-lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For
purposes of the impairment review, assets are reviewed on an asset-by-asset
basis. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of each asset to future net cash flows expected to be
generated by such asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount
of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Through September 30, 2009,
there have been no such losses.
Derivative
Liabilities and Classification
We
evaluate free-standing instruments (or embedded derivatives) indexed to the
Company’s common stock to properly classify such instruments within equity or as
liabilities in our financial statements. Accordingly, the classification of an
instrument indexed to our stock, which is carried as a liability, must be
reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result
of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the
date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the
number of times a contract may be reclassified.
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).

Controls
and Procedures.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the 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 under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of
September 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q/A. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
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 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 our 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 September 30, 2009, 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.
