In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “our company” and “Americas Wind” refer to Americas Wind Energy Corporation, and, unless otherwise indicated, our subsidiary, 6544797 Canada Ltd., a Canadian corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiary Americas Wind Energy Inc., an Ontario corporation.

Corporate Overview

The address of our principal executive office is 24 Palace Arch Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9A 2S1. Our telephone number is (416) 233.5670.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AWNE”.

Corporate History

We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on August 22, 2003.

On June 4, 2005, we effected a six for one forward stock split of the issued shares of common stock in the capital of our company.

On October 14, 2005, we effected a 3.195 for one forward stock split of the issued shares of common stock in the capital of our company.

On April 4, 2006, our board of directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to create 30,000,000 Class A Special Voting Shares in the capital of our company. Subsequent to our board of directors’ approval of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, on April 5, 2006, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of our company consented in writing to the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The amendment to our Articles of Incorporation was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on June 19, 2006. As a result, our authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 and 30,000,000 Class A Special Voting Stock without par value.

On August 28, 2006, our board of directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Northwest Passage Ventures, Ltd.” to “Americas Wind Energy Corporation”. Also on August 28, 2006, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of our company consented in writing to the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The amendment to our Articles of Incorporation was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 16, 2006.

Effective March 5, 2009, we entered into a sublicense agreement with Americas Wind Energy Inc., our Ontario subsidiary company, Emergya Wind Technologies B.V. (“EWT B.V.”), a Netherlands company, and EWT-Americas Inc. (“EWT-Americas”), a Delaware corporation, wherein we have agreed to grant to EWT-Americas an exclusive sublicense of all of our rights under a master license agreement dated April 23, 2004.

We had an exclusive license for the North American territory from EWT B.V., of the Netherlands, for the mid-sized direct drive wind turbines manufactured by EWT B.V.

We have provided a sub-license of these rights to EWT-Americas., a wholly owned subsidiary of Emergya Wind Technologies Holdings N.V. and an affiliate of EWT B.V.

The major terms of the transaction which closed effective March 5, 2009 are:

  • We sub-licensed to EWT-Americas our existing rights to market in North America.
  • EWT-Americas will be the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of EWT wind turbines in North America.

On March 5, 2009, we completed a sublicense agreement with EWT-Americas. The complete agreement is available online as filed with the SEC.

Summary terms of the agreement are:

  • The sublicense agreement gives our company a royalty of 2.5 % of sales revenue and 12.5% of contribution margin on all sales to companies listed on Exhibit A of the agreement over the next 5 years.
  • The royalty payments are capped at $28 million.
  • EWT-Americas has taken over all our projects except two and has completed these two projects for our company.
  • The costs to complete these two projects plus additional monies owed to EWT B.V. for materials will be taken out of our royalty payments at the rate of 25% of each royalty payment until completed.
  • We cannot compete with EWT-Americas in the wind turbine business.

Our Current Business

We are now a company with no operations and a projected revenue stream of up to $28 million over the next 5 years.

To maximize shareholder value, we plan to explore joint venture, merger or acquisition opportunities for our company. We intend to focus on the field of renewable energy.

Subsidiaries

Other than 6544797 Canada Ltd. and Americas Wind Energy Inc., we do not have any subsidiaries.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have incurred $Nil in research and development expenditures over the last fiscal year.

Employees

As of October 22, 2009, we had two employees consisting of Harold Dickout, our chief executive officer, president and chairman, Frank Pickersgill, our secretary. We plan to hire additional employees when circumstances warrant.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

The audited financial statements for the year end July 31, 2009, states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern and our independent certified public accountant added an emphasis paragraph to this report.

Our revenues are from the sublicense agreement are a percentage of sales and margins achieved by EWT-Americas from sales to a selected customer list.

These revenues are dependent on EWT-Americas achieving sales to these customers. To the extent that sales are not achieved or are less than anticipated, revenues will be impacted and our company may have difficulty in meeting our payment obligations.

There may be some doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on our directors and principal stockholders in providing financial support in the short term and receiving sufficient sublicense payments to discharge our company’s liabilities. In the event that these are not achieved, the assets may not be realized or liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts, and differences from the carrying amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements could be material.

Most of our assets and all of our directors and officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.

Although we are organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, United States, our principal business office is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments against us that are obtained in the United States in any action, including actions predicated upon civil liability provisions of federal securities laws. In addition, all of our directors and officers reside outside the United States, and nearly all of the assets of these persons and our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to enforce against us or such persons judgments predicated upon the liability provisions of United States securities laws. There is substantial doubt as to the enforceability against us or any of our directors and officers located outside the United States in original actions or in actions of enforcement of judgments of United States courts or liabilities predicated on the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws. In addition, as the majority of our assets are located outside of the United States, it may be difficult to enforce United States bankruptcy proceedings against us. Under bankruptcy laws in the United States, courts typically have jurisdiction over a debtor's property,

6


wherever it is located, including property situated in other countries. Courts outside of the United States may not recognize the United States bankruptcy court's jurisdiction. Accordingly, you may have trouble administering a United States bankruptcy case involving a Nevada company as debtor with most of its property located outside the United States. Any orders or judgments of a bankruptcy court obtained by you in the United States may not be enforceable.

Risks Related To Our Company Stock

If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.

Our Articles authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 class A special voting shares. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers or NASD, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

7


Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.

Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading of our stock through the OTC Bulletin Board is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in the stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common shares.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 2. Properties

Our principal offices are located at 24 Palace Arch Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9A 2S1. We lease our office space at this location on a month-to-month basis at a rental rate of approximately $50 per month. We believe that our office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our present needs and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters have been submitted during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year covered by this report to a vote by our security holders.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the years ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008 that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 16 of this annual report.

Our audited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Cash Requirements

Over the next 12 months we intend to operate as a business development Company. We anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses during this period:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next 12 Months 
Expense Amount
         Professional fees $300,000
         Other general administrative expenses $300,000
Total $600,000

We believe that we will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months.

Trends and Uncertainties

Our revenues are dependent on the success of EWT-Americas in selling wind turbines to our customer list. Prospects look good in the current political environment of support for renewables but results cannot be assured.

Our ability to develop new business in the current market environment may take some time.

Going Concern

There may be some doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its Directors and principal stockholders in providing financial support in the short term and receiving sufficient sublicense payments to discharge our company’s liabilities. In the event that these are not achieved, the assets may not be realized or liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts, and differences from the carrying amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements could be material.

10


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for financial statements. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Americas Wind Energy Corporation, and 6544797 Canada Ltd. and our wholly owned legal subsidiary, AWE Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For financial reporting purposes, Americas Wind Energy Inc. is the accounting parent company.

Equipment, Net

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided as follows:

Computer equipment 30% Declining balance
Computer software 100% Declining balance
Manufacturing equipment 20% Declining balance

Intangible Asset, Net

Intangible asset represents an acquired license right. Previously, our company determined that the asset met the indefinite life criteria outlined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Accordingly, our company did not amortize this intangible asset, but instead reviewed this asset at least annually for impairment.

Effective August 1, 2008, our company determined that the license right no longer met the indefinite life criteria and amortization of the intangible asset began in 2008 over the estimated useful life of 25 years.

During 2009, upon entering into the sublicense agreement with EWT B.V. and EWT-Americas on March 5, 2009, our company completed a review of the estimated useful life of our intangible asset. As a result of the review, our company revised our amortization policy from amortizing the intangible asset over our previously estimated useful

12


life of 25 years to a basis based on a percentage of sublicense payments received compared to $14,000,000, being the minimum sublicense payments required without termination of the sublicense agreement.

This change qualifies as a change in accounting estimate and was made on a prospective basis effective March 5, 2009. In 2009, amortization expense was $30,380 (after-tax) less than it would have been had the amortization policy not changed. The effect of this change is to decrease each of the loss before income taxes, net loss and comprehensive loss by $30,380. This change has no effect on either basic or diluted loss per share.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Our company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, our company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell.

Revenue Recognition

Our company recognizes revenues from the sale of wind turbines on a completed contract basis, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method. After the delivery of components and spares on customer's sites, it takes about two months to install and commission the wind turbines under an average contract. Under the completed contract method, the revenue and costs related thereto are deferred until such time as the project is completed, the customer takes ownership and assumes risks of loss, collection is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

The amount of any excess accumulated costs over related billings are described as "costs of uncompleted contracts in excess of related billings" and are presented as a current asset. The amount of any excess accumulated billings over related costs are described as "billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs" and are presented as a current liability.

Our company assesses the expectations of profitability of our contracts periodically. When there is reasonable certainty of an overall loss on a given contract, that estimated loss is recognized in full in the accounts. In estimating the loss on contract, all related disbursements are considered including those related to penalties and direct overhead. Provisions for contract losses are shown separately as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Any subsequent adjustments to the contract loss are recognized when reasonably estimable.

Royalty revenue from sublicensing of the intangible asset is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when third-party results can be reliably measured and collectability is assured.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of consulting fees and materials.

Costs incurred in obtaining license rights to technology in the research and development stage, and that have no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred.

Certain research and development costs incurred for the year ended July 31, 2005 were included in the cost of sales category in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the period from July

13


29, 2002 (date of inception) through July 31, 2009 since our company was unable to separate the actual cost of sales from the research and development component.

Income taxes

Our company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Foreign Currency Translation

In accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," our company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates our balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates our revenues, costs and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders' equity or deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.

Comprehensive Income or Loss

Our company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translation are reported in the accompanying statements as comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings or Loss Per Share

Our company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding for each year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions our company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP SFAS 140-4 and FASB Interpretation ("FIN") 46 (R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)”). FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) amends FASB SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FIN 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” to require public

14


enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity (“SPE”) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after December 15, 2008. This guidance has had no effect on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). This FASB FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This guidance has had no effect on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”) which amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. It is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 111, “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Equity Securities” (“SAB 111”), which amended SAB Topic 5-M., “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” to exclude debt securities from our scope. SAB 111 maintains the staff’s previous views related to equity securities, which include the requirement that unless evidence exists to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of an investment in equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a write-down to fair value accounted for as a realized loss should be recorded. Such loss should be recognized in the determination of net income of the period in which it occurs and the written down value of the investment in our company becomes the new cost basis of the investment. Our company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed interpretations and practices will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 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 our financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. It is effective for interim

15


and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This standard eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity ("QSPE") and modifies the derecognition provisions in SFAS 140. This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. Our company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." This statement amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. Our company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 provides for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Our company does not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Americas Wind Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Americas Wind Energy Corporation (A Development Stage Company) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from July 29, 2002 (date of inception) through July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Americas Wind Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from July 29, 2002 (date of inception) through July 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has an accumulated deficit during the development stage, and has insufficient working capital to meet its planned business operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICAS WIND ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2009 and 2008
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1.

Organization, Reverse Merger Transaction, and Going Concern

   

Americas Wind Energy Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 22, 2003. The Company was acquired in a reverse merger transaction on August 11, 2006. The Company changed its ordinary course of business from that of establishing a marine adventure tourism business to that of manufacturing and distributing wind power turbines to wind farm developers throughout the Americas through its operating subsidiary incorporated in Canada, Americas Wind Energy Inc. ("AWE Inc."), which has been involved in the wind turbines business since July 29, 2002.

   

On April 23, 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with Emergya Wind Technologies B.V. Inc. ("EWT") to obtain the North American intellectual property rights and know-how relating to EWT's medium capacity wind turbines, for an indefinite period of time (herein the “Master License Agreement”) (see note 6).

   

On March 5, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with EWT and EWT-Americas Inc. (“EWT- Americas”) to sublicense its license to EWT-Americas, thereby allowing the use of its exclusive intellectual property and know-how rights in relation to the manufacturing and sales of medium capacity wind turbines in the size range of 600 kilowatt to 1 megawatt to the Canadian, United States, Mexican and related territory markets (herein the “Agreement”). The Company will receive sublicense payments based on a percentage of sales and gross profit of wind turbine sales made by EWT-Americas (see note 14(a)).

   

As part of the Agreement, the Company has transferred to EWT-Americas all of its risks and benefits to its Waverly Light and Power (“Waverly”) and Rural Electric Convenience Cooperative Co. (“Rural”) contracts (see note 14(a)).

   

EWT-Americas has also assumed the costs incurred on the Confederation Power Inc. (previously Vector Wind Energy Inc.) (“Confederation”) and Wind Vision LLC (“Windvision”) contracts since March 5, 2009. Total aggregate costs incurred by EWT-Americas on behalf of the Company and the deposits received by the Company on the Waverly and Rural contracts and owing to EWT-Americas (herein “debt”) will only be repaid to the extent of up to 25% of the sublicense payments that the Company receives from EWT-Americas. If no sublicense payments are received, no part of the debt will be repaid to EWT-Americas. These contracts have been commissioned during the current year, and the Company does not have any other ongoing or future contracts in the wind turbines business.

   

Going Concern Assumption

   

The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's negative working capital and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. As of July 31, 2009, the Company had a negative working capital of $1,399,884 (2008 - $2,160,434) and an accumulated deficit of $4,563,580 (2008 - $2,423,197).

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1.

Organization, Reverse Merger Transaction, and Going Concern (cont’d)

     

Going Concern Assumption (cont’d)

     

The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its Directors and principal stockholders in providing financial support in the short term and receiving sufficient sublicense payments under the Agreement (note 14(a)) to discharge the Company’s liabilities. In the event that these are not achieved, the assets may not be realized or liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts, and differences from the carrying amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements could be material.

     

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

     
2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     
a)

Basis of Presentation

     

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Americas Wind Energy Corporation, and 6544797 Canada Ltd. and its wholly owned legal subsidiary, AWE Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For financial reporting purposes, AWE Inc. is the accounting parent company.

     
b)

Equipment, Net

     

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided as follows:


Computer equipment 30% Declining balance
Computer software 100% Declining balance
Manufacturing equipment 20% Declining balance

  c)

Intangible Asset, Net

     
 

Intangible asset represents an acquired license right. Previously, the Company determined that the asset met the indefinite life criteria outlined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Accordingly, the Company did not amortize this intangible asset, but instead reviewed this asset at least annually for impairment.

     
 

Effective August 1, 2008, the Company determined that the license right no longer met the indefinite life criteria and amortization of the intangible asset began in 2008 over the estimated useful life of 25 years.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

     
c)

Intangible Asset, Net (cont’d)

     

During 2009, upon entering into the Agreement with EWT and EWT-Americas on March 5, 2009, the Company completed a review of the estimated useful life of its intangible asset. As a result of the review, the Company revised its amortization policy from amortizing the intangible asset over its previously estimated useful life of 25 years to a basis based on a percentage of sublicense payments received compared to $14,000,000, being the minimum sublicense payments required without termination of the Agreement (see notes 6 and 14(a)).

     

This change qualifies as a change in accounting estimate and was made on a prospective basis effective March 5, 2009. In 2009, amortization expense was $30,380 (after-tax) less than it would have been had the amortization policy not changed. The effect of this change is to decrease each of the loss before income taxes, net loss and comprehensive loss by $30,380. This change has no effect on either basic or diluted loss per share.

     
d)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

     

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. Management believes that long-lived assets have no future benefit to the Company and are recorded at $nil as of July 31, 2009.

     
e)

Revenue Recognition

     

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of wind turbines on a completed contract basis, which approximates the percentage-of-completion method. After the delivery of components and spares on customer's sites, it takes about two months to install and commission the wind turbines under an average contract. Under the completed contract method, the revenue and costs related thereto are deferred until such time as the project is completed, the customer takes ownership and assumes risks of loss, collection is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

     
e)

Revenue Recognition (cont’d)

     

The amount of any excess accumulated costs over related billings are described as "costs of uncompleted contracts in excess of related billings" and are presented as a current asset. The amount of any excess accumulated billings over related costs are described as "billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs" and are presented as a current liability.

     

The Company assesses the expectations of profitability of its contracts periodically. When there is reasonable certainty of an overall loss on a given contract, that estimated loss is recognized in full in the accounts. In estimating the loss on contract, all related disbursements are considered including those related to penalties and direct overhead. Provisions for contract losses are shown separately as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Any subsequent adjustments to the contract loss are recognized when reasonably estimable.

     

Royalty revenue from sublicensing of the intangible asset is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when third-party results can be reliably measured and collectability is assured.

     
f)

Research and Development

     

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of consulting fees and materials.

     

Costs incurred in obtaining license rights to technology in the research and development stage, and that have no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred.

     

Certain research and development costs incurred for the year ended July 31, 2005 were included in the cost of sales category in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the period from July 29, 2002 (date of inception) through July 31, 2009 since the Company was unable to separate the actual cost of sales from the research and development component.

     
g)

Income taxes

     

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

h)

Foreign Currency Translation

     

In accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the Company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates its balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates its revenues, costs and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders' equity or deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.

     
i)

Comprehensive Income or Loss

     

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translation are reported in the accompanying statements as comprehensive income (loss).

     
j)

Earnings or Loss Per Share

     

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding for each year.

     
k)

Use of Estimates

     

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP SFAS 140-4 and FASB Interpretation ("FIN") 46 (R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)”). FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) amends FASB SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FIN 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity (“SPE”) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after December 15, 2008. This guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)

     

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). This FASB FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”) which amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. It is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     

In April 2009, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 111, “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Equity Securities” (“SAB 111”), which amended SAB Topic 5-M., “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” to exclude debt securities from its scope. SAB 111 maintains the staff’s previous views related to equity securities, which include the requirement that unless evidence exists to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of an investment in equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a write-down to fair value accounted for as a realized loss should be recorded. Such loss should be recognized in the determination of net income of the period in which it occurs and the written down value of the investment in the company becomes the new cost basis of the investment. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed interpretations and practices will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont'd)

     

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 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. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This standard eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity ("QSPE") and modifies the derecognition provisions in SFAS 140. This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

     

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)." This statement amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

     

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 provides for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Intangible Asset, Net (cont’d)

   

During 2008, the Company amortized the license right over its estimated useful life of 25 years. Previous to 2008, the Company regarded the license right to have an indefinite life and thus did not record amortization.

   

In accordance with the Agreement, beginning on March 6, 2009, the intangible asset is being amortized based on a percentage of sublicense payments received compared to $14,000,000, being the minimum sublicense payments required without termination of the Agreement (see note 14(a)).

   

Amortization expense charged to operations amounted to $43,791 for year ended July 31, 2009 (2008 - $86,550).

   
7.

Due to Stockholders

   

The amounts due to stockholders bear interest of 10% per annum, are unsecured and are due on demand.

   
8.

Convertible Loan Payable

   

On March 6, 2008, the Company received $350,000 pursuant to a convertible loan agreement. The convertible loan bears interest at 2% above the Bank of Canada's prime rate per annum (as of July 31, 2009, the Bank of Canada's rate was 2.25%), payable quarterly, is unsecured, and matured on March 6, 2009. As the convertible loan payable was not repaid on March 6, 2009, its maturity date, Smart Goal Investment Limited may, by written notice, exercise its rights of conversion in respect of either a portion of or the total outstanding amount of the loan plus accrued interest into shares of the Company at $0.32 per share. As of September 25, 2009, Smart Goal Investment Limited has not exercised the right of conversion.

   

At the date of issuance, the conversion feature of the convertible loan was “in-the-money.” The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature was $278,560. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” this amount was measured but was not recognized as of July 31, 2009. This amount will be recorded as additional paid-in capital only when the contingency is resolved.

Convertible Loan Payable (cont’d)

     

In addition, the Company has issued warrants to purchase 546,875 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $275,000 of the cash consideration received by the Company has been allocated to the convertible loan and $75,000 has been allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance of convertible loan. The convertible loan is being accreted to its face value through a periodic charge to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Accretion included in the interest and financing costs for the year ended July 31, 2009 amounted to $47,533 (2008 - $27,909).

     
9.

Provision for Contract Losses

     

Based on a review of the expected profitability on contracts, management's best estimate of contract losses from uncompleted contracts as of July 31, 2008 amounted to $1,256,717. There were no uncompleted contracts as of July 31, 2009.

On October 14, 2005, the Company completed a forward stock split of 3.195 common shares for each outstanding common share as part of the return and cancellation of 39,138,752 post-split shares.

     
b)

On April 4, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the creation of 30,000,000 class A special voting shares. The Articles of Incorporation were amended on July 19, 2006.

Capital Stock (cont’d)

     
f)

On August 11, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 2,500,000 units (the "Unit"). Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”), at a price of $1 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,500,000, plus $50,000 cash, before share issuance costs of $202,775. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a period of two years from the closing of the private placement.

     

The Company also issued 250,000 compensation options to the agent in the private placement. Each option entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a period of 30 months from the closing of the private placement.

     

The fair value of the 2,500,00 warrants and 250,000 compensation options was calculated as $402,644 and $40,275, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0.0%; risk-free interest rate of 4.5%; expected volatility of 48.0%; and an expected life of two years.

     
g)

On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction through its subsidiary 6544797 Canada Ltd. (“Purchaser”) with AWE Inc. Purchaser issued 30,000,000 class A preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) convertible to 30,000,000 common shares of the Company and 30,000,000 class A special voting shares (“Special Voting Shares”) of the Company to AWE Inc. in exchange for all of the shares of AWE Inc. to maintain the voting rights.

     

The Preferred Shares and the Special Voting Shares, when taken together, are the economic equivalent of the corresponding common shares of the Company and entitle the holder to one vote on the same basis and in the same circumstances as one corresponding share of the common shares of the Company and are intended to be the same in all respects as the regular common shares and are not subordinate. The exchangeable shares are exchangeable at any time, at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis with the corresponding common shares of the Company.

     

For financial statement presentation purposes only, 19,184,615 (2008 – 21,184,615) Preferred Shares of the Purchaser were presented as having been converted into 19,184,615 (2008 - 21,184,615) common shares of the Company and the 19,184,615 (2009 – 21,184,615) Special Voting Shares of the Company were presented as having been cancelled to more accurately reflect the substance of the reverse merger transaction.

     

For the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company converted a total of 2,000,000 (2008 – 3,815,385) Special Voting Shares into common shares.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to be applied against future years' income. Due to the losses from operations and expected future operating results, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carry forward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments, accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred tax assets and current income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies

       
a)

Entry into the Agreement

       

On March 5, 2009, the Company sublicensed its license to EWT-Americas under the agreement among EWT, EWT-Americas and the Company, thereby allowing the use of its exclusive intellectual property and know-how rights in relation to the manufacturing and sales of medium capacity wind turbines in the size range of 600 kilowatt to 1 megawatt to the Canadian, United States, Mexican and related territory markets (“Exclusive Rights Territory”) to EWT-Americas. The Company will be receiving sublicense payments in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 2.5% of sales revenues and (ii) 12.5% of gross profit, not exceeding $28,000,000 in aggregate. The sublicense term is for up to five years, or the achievement of the $28,000,000 in aggregate sublicense payments, if this milestone is reached before March 5, 2014. At the end of the sublicense term, the license right will revert back to EWT on an exclusive basis on accepted customers, as defined in the Agreement, and non-exclusive basis on other customers.

       

The Company has the right to terminate the Agreement earlier if the aggregate sublicense payments under the Agreement are less than $14,000,000 and one of the following events occurs before March 5, 2012:

       
(a)

If EWT-Americas ceases to conduct any business in the Exclusive Rights Territory for a period of greater than 12 consecutive months;

       
(b)

If EWT-Americas seeks relief under Title 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or a similar provision and an order is entered to liquidate EWT-Americas as opposed to a bankruptcy filing under Title 11 seeking reorganization; or

       
(c)

If EWT-Americas fails to make any undisputed payments to the Company when due and such payment is not made within 45 days of the notice given by the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies (cont’d)

     
a)

Entry into the Agreement (cont’d)

     

If the aggregate sublicense payments of $14,000,000 are not met and one of the above events occurs before March 5, 2012, the license will revert back to the Company.

     

As part of the Agreement, the Company has transferred to EWT-Americas all of its risks and benefits to its Waverly and Rural contracts. As such, the Company is committed to transfer the deposits made by Waverly and Rural of $940,730 to EWT-Americas.

     

EWT-Americas has assumed the costs incurred on the Confederation and Windvision contracts. At July 31, 2009, total aggregate costs along with the deposits on the Waverly and Rural contracts owing to EWT-Americas were $2,818,875 (herein “debt”), which is presented as long-term loan payable. This debt will only be repaid to the extent of up to 25% of the sublicense payments that the Company receives from EWT-Americas. In case no sublicense payments are received, no part of the debt will be repaid to EWT-Americas.

     

Also, as part of the Agreement, the Company assigned all of its rights, interest and obligations under the license agreement with GE Power Technology LLC ("GEPT"). Such license agreement required the Company to pay GEPT a royalty equal to $32,500 per one megawatt of capacity for each sale of a wind turbine.

     
b)

Vendor claims

     

During the year, one of AWE Inc.’s vendors asserted a claim for $235,000 and up to $5,000,000 in punitive damages against AWE Inc. claiming AWE Inc. breached an agreement with the vendor for services and commissions. No legal action has been commenced by the vendor. In management’s opinion, the claim has no merit and legal counsel will be hired to defend it, if necessary. The outcome of this claim is not determinable at this time and as such, no liability has been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

     

During the year, another of AWE Inc.’s vendors submitted an invoice to AWE Inc. in the amount of approximately $222,000, which management is disputing. No legal claim has been made to date by this vendor. Management will defend any action brought to collect the amount, if necessary. The outcome of this claim is not determinable at this time and as such, no liability has been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

c)

Customer claim

     

During the year, a former customer of AWE Inc. sustained damages to its wind turbine and tower during construction. No legal claim has been made to date by the former customer. Management believes that AWE Inc. is not liable for the damages suffered under the agreement. The outcome of this claim is not determinable at this time and as such, no liability has been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

The Company has an available $27,843 (equivalent to $30,000 CAD) line of credit with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”) that had an outstanding balance of $26,619 at July 31, 2009. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate plus 2.5%, are unsecured and are due on demand. The outstanding balance was presented as part of cash in the 2009 consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value Measurements

     

SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:


Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Cash (Level 1), accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to stockholders, convertible loan payable and long-term loan payable (Level 2) are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial Instruments

   

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments. The fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

   

Financial risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest risk or currency risk and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

   

Concentration of Credit Risk

   

SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk," requires disclosure of any significant off-balance- sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. From time to time, the Company has funds on deposit with commercial banks that exceed federally insured limits. Management does not consider this to be a significant credit risk as these banks and financial institutions are well-known.

   

Interest Rate Risk

   

The Company is exposed to changing interest rates as a result of borrowings under the convertible loan payable, which bears interest at floating rates based on the Bank of Canada's prime rate. As of July 31, 2009, the Company had borrowings with a face amount of $350,000 under the convertible loan payable. A hypothetical 1% increase in variable interest rates would have impacted the Company's losses for the year ended July 31, 2009 by approximately $3,500. The Company does not enter into derivative or other financial investments for trading or speculative purposes.

 
18 Restatement – Correction of an Error
 

For the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, the gain on sale of equipment of $11,440 (2008 - $199,156) and the loss on disposal of contracts of $682,962 (2008 – nil) were presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under other income (expenses) and should have been presented under operations.

 

As a result of the reclassification, there is no change to the net loss, comprehensive loss and earnings per share on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or retained earnings and equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim period up through the date the relationship ended.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, 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 president (who is acting as our principal executive officer and as our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure

As of July 31, 2009, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of July 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board of Directors.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable

18


assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended July 31, 2009 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Business Experience

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the person’s principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.

Harold Dickout, Director, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Mr. Dickout was the Chief Executive Officer of SRE Controls, whose business included the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of drive controls for electronic vehicles. Prior to this, Mr. Dickout was the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Square D Canada, a major manufacturer of electrical distribution and control equipment. Prior to that, Mr. Dickout was Vice President, Power Systems Division, General Electric Canada. From 2002 to the present, Mr. Dickout has been the Chief Executive Officer of Americas Wind Energy Inc., which he co-founded with Mr. Pickersgill.

Frank Pickersgill, Director and Secretary

Mr. Pickersgill obtained his Bachelor’s of Science, Engineering, degree from the University of Manitoba in 1962 and his Masters in Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1967. From 1997 through 2002, Mr. Pickersgill established and operated MFP Management Corporation, a family management and holding company, which founded and managed Prolion North America. Prolion North America’s business included the assembly and

19


marketing of automatic “robotic” milking systems for Prolion BV, a Dutch manufacturer of automatic milking systems. From 2002 to the present, Mr. Pickersgill has been the Vice President and Secretary of Americas Wind Energy Inc., which he co-founded with Mr. Dickout.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers and proposed directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

1.

any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

   
2.

any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor offences;

   
3.

being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

   
4.

being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our shares of common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners as well as our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners of our subsidiaries were complied with.

Code of Ethics

Effective July 22, 2004, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors, our company's officers including our president (being our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), contractors, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

  1.

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

20



  2.

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

     
  3.

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

     
  4.

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

     
  5.

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our Company officers. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests may be sent in writing to our Americas Wind Energy Corporation, 24 Palace Arch Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9A 2S1.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:

our principal executive officer;

each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008; and

21


up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008,

who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than our principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year:

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive share options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that share options may be granted at the discretion of our board of directors.

Stock Option Plan

Currently, we do not have a stock option plan in favor of any director, officer, consultant or employee of our company.

Stock Options/SAR Grants

During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 there were no options granted to our named officers or directors.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

No equity awards were outstanding as of the year ended July 31, 2009.

Option Exercises

During our Fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 there were no options exercised by our named officers.

Compensation of Directors

We do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors.

22


We have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Pension, Retirement or Similar Benefit Plans

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors or a committee thereof.

Indebtedness of Directors, Senior Officers, Executive Officers and Other Management

None of our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company during the last two fiscal years, is or has been indebted to our company by way of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding currently outstanding.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth, as of October 22, 2009, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

Based on 33,319,279 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of November 6, 2009. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common shares listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such option or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Based on 19,184,615 Class A special voting shares issued and outstanding as of November 6, 2009

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended July 31, 2009, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years.

Director Independence

We currently act with two directors, consisting of Harold C.F. Dickout and Frank D. Pickersgill. We have determined that none of our directors is an “independent director” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and for fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

  Year Ended

July 31, 2009
$
July 31, 2008
$
Audit Fees 49,243 112,399
Audit Related Fees Nil Nil
Tax Fees Nil Nil
All Other Fees Nil Nil
Total 49,243 112,399

24



Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
