Legal

Forward Looking Statements

This January 14, 2010 Corporate Presentation includes forward-looking information regarding GC China
Turbine Corp. and its subsidiaries that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor “forward-looking
statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are
predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such
as “will”, “would”, “should”, “plans”, “likely”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes”, “estimates”,
“thinks”, “may”, and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements.  Statements that are not
historical facts are also forward looking statements. Although the Company believes that its expectations
are based on reasonable assumptions, there are risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual results to be materially different from those in the forward-looking statements.  These factors
include, among other things: our limited operating history and inability to predict future operations with
any certainty, the ability to timely complete vendor agreements, construction and build out of
infrastructure, lengthy sales cycles, labor costs, political environment, cash flow estimates, future
financial performance, planned capital expenditures, market conditions, uncertainties inherent in wind
energy generation, unexpected future capital expenditures, accuracy of test results, and other normal
business risks.

 

The foregoing factors do not constitute an exhaustive list of factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements, and should be read in conjunction
with the other cautionary statements and risk factors included in the Company's Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2009 and other cautionary
statements described in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new
information becomes available or other events occur in the future.  The Company cautions readers not to
place undue reliance on those statements. The Corporate Presentation does not constitute an offer to
sell or solicitation of an offer to buy securities of the Company.

Key Technology

7

Flexible Hub

Load Absorbing Mounts

Exploded view of proprietary moving hub
and vibration damping system

The design is a patented, integrated system designed to minimize potentially damaging
vibrations

Flexible “moving-hub” avoids transferring most shock loads to the gearbox

Management and design of the control system is key

Uses automated blade sensors & controls. Constant feedback ensures highest efficiency

The technology offers a new approach and significant opportunities for large scale wind
farms  including  remote onshore and  offshore installations

 

Product Differentiation

2-Bladed Turbine

3-Bladed Turbine

Simplified Internal
Mechanism and
Structure

Load shedding, “flexible”
design reduces stress
and impact loads

Lower loads, less weight,
less cost

Complicated Internal
Mechanism and Structure

Rigid & Massive

Much higher failure rate and
higher operational costs

Difficult to erect in many
locations

China’s Wind Initiatives Likely to Benefit
Chinese Companies most

Government Stimulus funds are being allocated to Chinese
Companies

“Foreign Makers of wind turbines complain that they have been
shut out of bidding for a $5 billion stimulus financed power plant”
– AP 6/18/09

GE has pulled out of the bidding process for expansion of the
Jiangsu Wind Farm – believing that it can’t compete against the
Chinese incumbents – Reuters
“Foreigners swept aside as wind
power blows through China”
6/4/09

Foreign Manufacturers complain that China's efforts to eliminate
turbines with capacities of less than 1 megawatt is also a form of
restrictive practice that plays into the hands of domestic firms. –

2 blades vs. 3… a lighter, simpler
product

No need for main shaft, main
bearing, pitch bearing – saves
initial costs and fabrication lead
times. Saves on operational costs

No need for mechanical yaw
braking system

Built in blade tip braking system
outperforms anything else

Dedicated electronic sensor and
remote operations systems –
instant feedback & control

Lighter tower, saving materials
and foundation costs – allows for
installation in challenging
environments

13

 

Competitive Advantage Through Quality

Four 1MW turbines have been running in
Sweden continuously for 8-12 years

There were no drive train failures during the
entire timeline

The system has achieved 100,000 hours of
problem-free operation with 97.7% uptime

14

 

Competitive Advantage
Low Installation Cost

Two bladed installations are faster, simpler, lower risk and safer

On-ground assembly mitigates risk and overall difficulty

Fewer crane picks (3 vs. 5) simplifies scheduling

Use of cheaper 400 T Hydraulic truck-crane  - arrives onsite and sets up faster.

Remote rural region non-hydraulic lift system under development.

Lower transportation costs because of fewer trailer loads (4 versus 6)

Installation cost ~ 50% of that for 3-bladed turbines

Future Growth

The Company aims to provide wind energy
at a price comparable to traditional
electrical generation projects.

GC China intends to achieve this by
identifying promising technologies and to
further minimize costs by sourcing the
majority or all components from within China.

GC China currently produces a 1.0 MW two-
blade wind turbine. Focusing on the Chinese
market, GC China will penetrate broader
reaches of the Chinese market with the
launch of the more powerful 2.3 and 3.0 MW
2-blade turbines. The 3.0 MW wind turbine is
specifically targeted for offshore applications.
