REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Luckcharm
Holdings Limited
Room 703,
Nan Dao Comm. Building,
359-361
Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Luckcharm Holdings
Limited and subsidiary (the "Group") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Group'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 Group
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Group'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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Luckcharm Holdings Limited and subsidiary at
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
|
Luckcharm
Holding Limited (“LHL” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on June
15, 2009 by Fernside Limited. On June 29, 2009, Fernside Limited
transferred all of the equity interest of Luckcharm to Golden Wind Holdings
Limited (“GW”), a company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as an exempted company with limited
liability under the Companies Law of the British Virgin Islands, for cash
consideration of HK$1.00 (US$0.13). On August 1, 2009, LHL entered into an
agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of Wuhan Guoce Nordic New Energy Co.,
Ltd. ("GC-Nordic") for total cash consideration of $3.3 million (RMB 22.5
million) from the original nine individual shareholders (the
"Founders"). At the time of this transaction, the Founders obtained
100% voting interests in GW in the same proportion as their ownership interest
in GC-Nordic, through a call option and voting trust agreements with Xu Hong
Bing (the "Seller"), the sole shareholder of GW for a nominal
consideration. The acquisition of GW has been accounted for as a
reverse acquisition with no change in control. On August 5, 2009,
GC-Nordic received approval on this acquisition from the Bureau of Commerce of
the Wuhan City, Hubei Province, People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The
restructuring process has been accounted for as a recapitalization as the
Company and GC-Nordic were under common control with no adjustment to the
historical basis of the assets and liabilities of GC-Nordic. All
share and per share data have been restated to give retroactive effect of this
restructuring and the share capital represents the capital amount of the Company
as if the restructuring has been completed as of the earliest period presented
in these financial statements.
GC-Nordic
was established as a domestic limited liability company on August 21, 2006 upon
the issuing of a license by the Administration for Industry and Commerce of the
Wuhan City, Hubei Province, PRC with an operating period of ten years to August
20, 2016. At the time of establishment, GC-Nordic had registered
capital of RMB 10 million ($1,253,950). In December 2008, its
registered capital was first increased to RMB 20 million ($2,713,229), and then
to RMB 30 million ($4,176,330) in June 2009.
Luckcharm
Holding Limited and GC-Nordic are collectively referred to as the "Group", which
is engaged in the design, manufacture, commissioning and distribution of wind
turbine generators and provides related technical support services in the
PRC.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
|
(c)
|
Use
of estimates
|
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities that reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. These estimates are based on
management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Group may
take in the future. Actual results could materially differ from these
estimates.
Significant
accounting estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements
include but are not limited to allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of
property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, valuation of
inventories, impairment for long-lived assets, accruals for warranty costs,
recoverability of prepayments, and valuation of deferred tax
assets.
(d)
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
|
Cash and
cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments which are
unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of
three months or less when purchased.
(e)
|
Accounts
receivable
|
Trade
receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful
accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Long-term accounts
receivable with fixed or determinable payments were recorded in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at their net present value based on a discount rate
of 5.4% per annum, which approximated the discount rate generally available for
discounting similar instruments with commercial bank in PRC.
(f)
|
Inventories
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is calculated on the
first-in-first-out basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. The Group provides estimated inventory write-down to the
estimated market value for excessive, slow moving and obsolete inventories as
well as inventories whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value.
The estimated market value is measured as the estimated selling price of each
class of the inventories in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs
of completion and disposal. As at December 31, 2008, there were no such charges
to inventory.
(g)
|
Property
and equipment, net
|
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
loss, if any.
Property
and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis. Residual rates are determined based on the
economic value of the property and equipments at the end of the estimated useful
period, with a range from 3% to 5%. Upon retirement or sale, the cost
of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in statement of
income. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Useful

|
Intangible
assets, net
|
Intangible
assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses,
if any.
Intangible
assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis. The estimated useful life is as
follows:
Useful

(i)

Impairment
of long-lived assets
|
The Group
evaluates its long-lived assets and finite lived intangible assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. When these events
occur, the Group compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and
their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an
impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value
of the assets. There was no impairment charge recognized for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(j)
|
Income
taxes
|
The Group
accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the financial statements or tax return. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
presently enacted tax rates in effect. The effect on deferred taxes of a change
in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the
period of change. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax
assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The total income tax provision includes
current tax expenses under applicable tax regulations and the change in the
balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In July 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation ("FIN") No.
48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes— an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109," which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." FIN No. 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position
will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals
or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax
positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent
periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement,
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Group adopted the provision of FASB
Interpretation No. 48 on January 1, 2007. No reserves for uncertain income tax
provisions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48.

Foreign
currency translation
|
The
functional currency and reporting currency of LHL is United States
Dollar ("US Dollar"). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
currencies other than the US Dollar are translated into US Dollar at the rates
of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in
currencies other than the US Dollar during the year are converted into the US
Dollar at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing on the day transactions
occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the
statements of income.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

|
Foreign
currency translation (continued)
|
The
financial records of the Group's PRC subsidiary are maintained in Renminbi
("RMB") which is its functional currency. Assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date,
equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues,
expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the
year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation
adjustments and are shown as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity and comprehensive
income (loss).
The RMB
is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign
Exchange of People's Republic of China ("PRC"), under the authority of the
People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies.
The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to
international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in
the China foreign exchange trading system market. The Group's aggregate amount
of cash and cash equivalents dominated in RMB amounted to $10,661 and $681,165
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Revenue
recognition
|
The Group
recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accountant Board ("SAB") No. 104,
"Revenue Recognition",
when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and
collectability is reasonably assured. For an arrangement with
multiple deliverables, the Group recognizes product revenues in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables".
The Group
is not contractually obligated to accept returns. The sales of goods
and services involve inconsequential or perfunctory performance
obligations. These obligations can include non-essential installation
or training, provision of product manuals and materials, and limited,
pre-scheduled technical maintenance support. When the only remaining undelivered
performance obligation under an arrangement is inconsequential or perfunctory,
the Group recognizes revenue on the delivery of turbines, the predominant
deliverable in the total contract and provides for the cost of the unperformed
obligations. Cash advances received from customers before the revenue is earned
are classified as deferred revenue.

Warranty
cost
|
Limited
warranties are provided to the wind turbine generators for two years following
delivery for defects in equipment hardware. Various suppliers provide
warranties to the Group on components purchased. Warranty costs are
accrued as revenues are recognized and are offset by any recoveries received
from suppliers. Actual warranty costs are accumulated and charged
against the accrued warranty liability. Product warranties are
accrued at 2% of wind turbine sales based on an assessment of industry norms
which also represents the Group's best estimate to date. The Group
accrued $57,525 and $0 warranty costs during the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, no warranty accrual
was used. If the Group begins to experience warranty claims differing from the
current accrual rate, the warranty accrual rate would be prospectively
revised.

Government
grants
|
Government
grants are recognized when received and when all the conditions for their
receipt have been met. Government grants whose primary condition is
that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current
assets are recognized as non-current liabilities in the balance sheet and
transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful
lives of the related assets. Government grants for revenue and/or
expenses should be recognized in income when the related revenue and/or expense
are recorded.
The Group
received a government grant, which is related to the Group's activities in
research and development projects, from a local government
agency. The Group records the government grant against the research
and development expenses when incurred. The government subsidy in
2008 and 2007 was $42,435 and nil, respectively.

Fair
value of financial
instruments
|
The
carrying value of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable,
amount due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt,
approximates their fair value at December 31, 2008 and 2007 due to the
relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term
accounts receivable was approximately $129,455 and $nil, respectively, as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007 based on discounted cash flows. The fair value was
estimated using discounted cash flow technique based on pertinent information
available to the Group as of December 31, 2008. Although management is not aware
of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value
estimates, such amount has not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of the
financial statements since that date, and current estimate of fair value may
differ significantly from the amount presented.
On
January 1, 2008, the Group adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS
157") that was not delayed by FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 ("FSP FAS
157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 as it
applies to non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be
measured at fair value on a recurring (at least annual) basis. As a
result of the delay, SFAS 157 will be applied to the Group's non-financial
assets and liabilities effective on January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 defines
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date (also referred to as an exit price). SFAS 157
also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial
instruments that is based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used
to measure fair value are observable or unobservable. Valuation
techniques used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable
inputs. The three levels of the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy are described
below:
Level
1:
|
Quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
|
Level
2:
|
Observable
market-based inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
|
Level
3:
|
Unobservable
inputs.
|
As of
December 31, 2008, the Group did not have any financial assets or liabilities
that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial
recognition.
(q)
|
Earnings
(loss) per share
|
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to holders of common
shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were
exercised or converted into common shares. Common share equivalents
are excluded from the computation in loss periods as their effects would be
anti-dilutive. No dilutive potential common share equivalents were
outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2008.

miscellaneous items directly related to research and development activities.
Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
amounted to $94,300 and $0, respectively.
(t)

Concentration
of credit risk
|
Financial
instruments that potentially expose the Group to significant concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and long-term accounts receivable and advance to
suppliers. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents with
financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.
The Group
conducts credit evaluation of customers and generally does not require
collateral or other securities from its customers. The Group
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of
the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.
With respect to advances to suppliers, who are primarily the suppliers of wind
turbine components, the Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
suppliers' financial conditions. The Group generally does not require
collateral or other security against advance to suppliers; however, it maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been
within management's expectations.
(u)
|
Business
risks
|
The
Group's near term, and possibly long term, prospects are significantly dependent
upon one customer. Revenues and outstanding accounts receivable in 2008 were
solely from one customer. As a result, currently the Group is substantially
dependent upon the continued participation of these customers in order to
maintain and continue to grow its total revenues. Significantly reducing the
Group's dependence on these customers is likely to take a long time and there
can be no guarantee that the Group will succeed in reducing that
dependence.

expensed all costs incurred in connection with start-up activities, including

pronouncements

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations (Revised
2007)” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R is relevant to all transactions
or events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.
SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize any assets and non-controlling
interest acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. Liabilities related to contingent consideration are recognized
and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later
date when the amount of the consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable
doubt. This revised approach replaces SFAS No.141’s cost allocation process in
which the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair value. SFAS No. 141R
requires any acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs to be expensed as
incurred as opposed to allocating such costs to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as previously required by SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 141R,
an acquirer recognizes liabilities for a restructuring plan in purchase
accounting only if the requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, are met. SFAS No. 141R allows for
the recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these
contingencies are likely to materialize. If this criterion is not met at the
acquisition date, then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency
in accordance with recognition criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting
for Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase
accounting. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R
will change the Group’s accounting treatment for business combination on a
prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2009.
In April
2009 the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies” (“FSP 141R-1”). FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in SFAS
No. 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and
accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction
between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial
recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and instead carries
forward most of the provisions in SFAS No. 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP
141R-1 is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December
15, 2008. The adoption of FSP 141R-1 will change the Group’s accounting
treatment for business combination on a prospective basis beginning on January
1, 2009.
In April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets” (FSP FAS 142-3). This position amends the factors an
entity should consider when developing renewal or extension assumptions used in
determining the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own historical
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in determining the
amortizable useful life. Additionally, this position requires expanded
disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. FSP
FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
may impact any intangible assets the Group acquires in future transactions. The
guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must
be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
The disclosure requirements, though, shall be applied prospectively to all
intangible assets recognized as of the effective date. Early adoption is
prohibited. The Group adopted FSP FAS 142-3 as of January 1, 2009 and the
adoption did not have material impact on the Group's financial position, results
of the operations and cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" (FAS 162). FAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements. FAS 162 is effective 60 days following SEC
approval.

In
November 2008, the EITF reached a consensus-for exposure on EITF Issue No. 08-1,
"Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables", or EITF 08-1, which was subsequently ratified by
the FASB and confirmed at its September 2009 meeting. The Task Force
discussed a model that would amend EITF 00-21 to require an entity to estimate
the selling price for all units of accounting, including delivered items, when
vendor-specific objective evidence or acceptable third-party evidence of the
selling price does not exist for them, and eliminate the residual allocation
method and require an entity to apply the relative selling price allocation
method in all circumstances. EITF 08-1 will be effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to
apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements
after the Issuer’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods
presented. Early application is permitted. The Group is
now evaluating the possible impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
At the
November 24, 2008 meeting, the FASB ratified the reached in EITF Issue
No. 08-7, “Accounting for
Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 requires
entities that will acquire a defensive intangible asset after the effective date
of Statement 141(R), to account for the acquired intangible asset as a separate
unit of accounting and amortize the acquired intangible asset over the period
during which the asset would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective for
defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this
statement on its consolidated financial statements.
On April
9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for
interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual
financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at
interim reporting periods. The FSP will be effective for the Group for interim
and annual periods beginning January 1, 2009.
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, "Subsequent Events" (SFAS
No.165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically,
SFAS 165 provides (i) 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; (ii)
the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (iii)
the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied
prospectively.
In June
2009, the FASB approved the "FASB Accounting Standards Codification"
("Codification") as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP
to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S.
GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by
providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one
place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all
other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered
nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for the Group
during the annual period ending December 31, 2009 and will not have an impact on
the financial condition or results of operations.

The
Group’s subsidiary incorporated in the PRC is subject to Corporate Income Tax,
or CIT, on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements
adjusted in accordance with relevant PRC income tax laws.
PRC CIT,
was generally assessed at the rate of 33% of taxable income prior to January 1,
2008. On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress of the PRC
approved and promulgated the new Enterprise Income Tax Law ("new EIT Law"),
which took effect beginning January 1, 2008. Under the new EIT law,
foreign investment enterprise and domestic companies are subject to a uniform
tax rate of 25%. The new tax law provides a five-year transition
period from its effective date for certain qualifying enterprises which were
established before the promulgation date of the new tax law and which were
entitled to a preferential lower tax rate or tax holiday under the then

tax rate of 25% the tax benefit is $90,715 as of December 31,
2008. The Group believes that it is more likely than not that the
benefit from the net operating loss carryforward relating to its PRC subsidiary
will be realized through future profits. The amount of the deferred
tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward periods are
reduced.

Uncertainty
in income tax
|
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Group adopted FIN 48, which prescribes a
more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This
interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and
liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and
liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax
positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax
disclosures.
There is
no impact on the financial statement upon the adoption of FIN 48 as of January
1, 2007. The Group does not anticipate any significant change for
unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
According
to PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations for tax
underpayments is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to
computational errors made by the taxpayer or withholding agent. The statute of
limitations will be extended five years under special circumstances, which are
not clearly defined (but an underpayment of tax liability exceeding RMB 0.1
million is specifically listed as a special circumstance). In the case of a
related party transaction, the statute of limitations is 10 years. There is no
statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion. From inception to 2008, the
Group is subject to examination of the PRC tax authorities. The Group classifies
interest and penalties associated with taxes as income tax expense. Such charges
were immaterial in 2007 and 2008.

Group's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief
executive officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about
allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. The Group is a
single segment entity whose business is production and distribution of wind
turbine generators in the PRC. All of its revenues are derived in the PRC. The
Group's long-lived assets and operations are substantially located in the
PRC.
The Group
recorded revenues of $3,065,007, which were all from one customer for the year

care, welfare subsidies, unemployment insurance and pension
benefits. The Group is required to accrue for these benefits based on
certain percentages of salaries in accordance with the relevant regulations and
make contributions to the state-sponsored pension, medical and welfare
plans. The Chinese government is responsible for the medical benefits
and ultimate pension and welfare liabilities to these employees. The total
contribution for such employee benefits were $20,310 and $1,942 for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

PROFIT
APPROPRIATION AND STATUTORY RESERVES IN
CHINA
|
GC-Nordic
is a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC, and is
required to make appropriations from after-tax profits to non-distributable
reserve funds. The subsidiary, after recouping their losses, must
make appropriations to general reserve fund and staff bonus and welfare fund, in
accordance with The Law of the PRC on Enterprises Operated Exclusively with
Foreign Capital. The general reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10%
of after-tax profit (determined by generally accepted accounting principles in
the PRC (“PRC GAAP”)) until such fund has reached 50% of the subsidiaries’
registered capital; the percentage of appropriation for staff bonus and welfare
fund is determined at the discretion of its Board. The statutory reserves
can only be used for specific purposes, such as offsetting accumulated losses,
enterprise expansion or staff welfare. These reserves are not
distributable to the shareholders except in the event of
liquidation. Appropriations to these funds are accounted for as
transfers from retained earnings to the statutory reserves.
As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Group did not make any appropriations to the
statutory reserve funds as GC-Nordic was in a loss position under PRC
GAAP.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
|
On May
22, 2009, LHL and GC-Nordic entered into the Letter of Intent ("LOI") with GC
China Turbine Corp. ("GCCT", formerly known as "Nordic Turbine Inc."), a Nevada
corporation listed on U.S. Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. LHL and
GCCT wish to enter into a share purchase and exchange agreement whereby GCCT
would purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of LHL from the
shareholders, and the shareholders of LHL would purchase a 54% controlling
equity interest in GCCT and become the directors and officers afterwards (the
"Merger"). Further on July 31, 2009, a revised Letter of Intent
("Revised LOI") was entered between the above parties and New Margin Growth Fund
L.P. ("New Margin"), Ceyuan Ventures II, L.P. ("CV") and Ceyuan Ventures
Advisors Fund II, LLC ("CV Advisors"). The revised LOI further
provides that (i) upon consummation of the Merger, GCCT shall directly or
indirectly own all of the outstanding capital stock of GC-Nordic; (ii) the
closing date for the Merger shall be thirty days from the date GC-Nordic
completes an audit of its financial statements as required under U.S. securities
laws; and (iii) the obligation of GC-Nordic to consummate the Merger is
conditioned upon an additional financing of at least US$ 10 million in the
merged entity at closing.
On May
22, 2009, LHL entered into a promissory note in favour of GCCT in the principal
amount of US$ 1 million. The promissory note is secured by the assets
of LHL, accrues interest at 6% per annum calculated annually from May 31, 2009,
and is due on December 8, 2009. Upon closing of the agreements as
described above, the promissory note, excluding any interest accrued, will be
considered an inter-company loan. If the proposed transactions are
not completed by December 8, 2009, and the principal, together with interest,
have not been fully repaid by June 8, 2010, GCCT will have the right, at its
option, to convert the promissory note to a percentage equity interest in LHL,
equal to 4.44% multiplied by that fraction of the principal not repaid by June
8, 2010.
On July
31, 2009, the same day of signing the Revised LOI, the above parties entered
into a financing agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides
that GCCT agreed to lend LHL (i) US$ 2.5 million before July 24, 2009 and (ii)
US$ 7.5 million before July 31, 2009. In order to guarantee GCCT’s
lending obligations under the Agreement, New Margin agreed to lend US$ 5 million
to GCCT and CV and CV Advisors each agreed to lend a total of US$ 5 million to
GCCT prior to the dates indicated above. Upon the consummation of the
Merger, the US$ 10 million aggregate loan amount made to GCCT by each of
New Margin, CV and CV Advisors will be converted into shares of GCCT’s common
stock at a conversion price equal to US$0.80 per share. If the Merger
fails to be consummated, the loans will convert into a 29.87% equity interest in
GC-Nordic.
On the
same day, LHL entered into a promissory note in favor of GCCT in the principal
amount of US$ 10 million in connection with GCCT’s loan made to LHL as described
above. Under the terms of the promissory note, GCCT shall forgive the
debt and cancel the promissory note so long as (i) the Merger is completed
pursuant to its terms or (ii) if the Merger is not completed pursuant to its
terms, the debt is converted pursuant to the Agreement. If the Merger
is not completed and the debt is not converted pursuant to the Agreement, the
debt shall be due and payable within 180 days from the date of the promissory
note.
In
furtherance of the Agreement, on the same date, GCCT executed convertible
promissory notes (the "Notes") in favour of New Margin, CV and CV advisors in
the amount of US$ 5 million, US$4.8 million and US$0.2 million,
respectively. The notes earn simple interest at an annual percentage
rate equal to 6% or the lowest rate permissible by law. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the principal and interest due under the Notes will
automatically convert into shares of common stock of GCCT at a conversion price
per share equal to US$0.80. In the event the Merger is not
consummated within 180 days from the date of the Notes, the Notes shall be
converted in accordance with the Agreement and debt underlying the Notes shall
be forgiven and cancelled.
On
September 30, 2009, the shareholders of GCCT entered into a voluntary share
exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with LHL, GW and
GC-Nordic. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, GCCT will issue 32,
383,808 shares of its common stock, represents no less than 54% of the total
issued and outstanding common stock of GCCT, to GW at the closing of the
Exchange Agreement in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of LHL. The previously issued US$ 10 million convertible
promissory notes will automatically convert into 12,500,000 shares of the GCCT's
common stock.

ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
|
Luckcharm
Holding Limited (“LHL” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on June
15, 2009 by Fernside Limited. On June 29, 2009, Fernside Limited
transferred all of the equity interest of Luckcharm to Golden Wind Holdings
Limited (“GW”), a company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as an exempted company with limited
liability under the Companies Law of the British Virgin Islands, for cash
consideration of HK$1.00 (US$0.13). On August 1, 2009, LHL entered into an
agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of Wuhan Guoce Nordic New Energy Co.,
Ltd. ("GC-Nordic") for total cash consideration of $3.3 million (RMB 22.5
million) from the original nine individual shareholders (the
"Founders"). At the time of this transaction, the Founders obtained
100% voting interests in GW in the same proportion as their ownership interest
in GC-Nordic, through a call option and voting trust agreements with Xu Hong
Bing (the "Seller"), the sole shareholder of GW for a nominal
consideration. The acquisition of GW has been accounted for as a
reverse acquisition with no change in control. On August 5, 2009,
GC-Nordic received approval on this acquisition from the Bureau of Commerce of
the Wuhan City, Hubei Province, People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The
restructuring process has been accounted for as a recapitalization as the
Company and GC-Nordic were under common control with no adjustment to the
historical basis of the assets and liabilities of GC-Nordic. All
share and per share data have been restated to give retroactive effect of this
restructuring and the share capital represents the capital amount of the Company
as if the restructuring has been completed as of the earliest period presented
in these financial statements.
GC-Nordic
was established as a domestic limited liability company on August 21, 2006 upon
the issuing of a license by the Administration for Industry and Commerce of the
Wuhan City, Hubei Province, PRC with an operating period of ten years to August
20, 2016. At the time of establishment, GC-Nordic had registered
capital of RMB 10 million ($1,253,950). In December 2008, its
registered capital was first increased to RMB 20 million ($2,713,229), and then
to RMB 30 million ($4,176,330) in June 2009.
Luckcharm
Holding Limited and GC-Nordic are collectively referred to as the "Group", which
is engaged in the design, manufacture, commissioning and distribution of wind
turbine generators and provides related technical support services in the
PRC.

BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
|
The Group
is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP") and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the
Group considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and
operating results. The Group prepared these statements following the
requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for
interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, the Group condensed or
omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally
required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of Luckcharm Holdings Limited and its subsidiary. All significant
inter-group accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year.
Therefore, the results and trends in these interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements may not be the same as those for the full
year.

RECENTLY
ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations: (Revised
2007)” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is relevant to all transactions or events
in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R
requires an acquirer to recognize any assets and non-controlling interest
acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. Liabilities related to contingent consideration are recognized
and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later
date when the amount of the consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable
doubt. This revised approach replaces SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS
141”) cost allocation process in which the cost of an acquisition was allocated
to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair value. SFAS 141R requires any acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred as opposed to allocating such
costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as previously required by
SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, an acquirer recognizes liabilities for a
restructuring plan in purchase accounting only if the requirements of SFAS No.
146, “Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, are met. SFAS 141R allows
for the recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these
contingencies are likely to materialize. If this criterion is not met at the
acquisition date, then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency
in accordance with recognition criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase
accounting. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008 with the exception of the
accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax
contingencies. SFAS 141R amends SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,”
such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and
acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the
effective date of SFAS 141R would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141R. The
adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a significant effect on the consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 defers the
effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15,
2008. The adoption of FSP 157-2 did not have a significant effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets” (FSP FAS 142-3). This position amends the factors an
entity should consider when developing renewal or extension assumptions used in
determining the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own historical
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in determining the
amortizable useful life. Additionally, this position requires expanded
disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. FSP
FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
may impact any intangible assets the Group acquires in future transactions. The
guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must
be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
The disclosure requirements, though, shall be applied prospectively to all
intangible assets recognized as of the effective date. Early adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 142-3 did not have a significant effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
On April
9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments" (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting
periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.
This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting",
to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim
reporting periods. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a
significant effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
|
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, "Subsequent Events" (SFAS
No.165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically,
SFAS 165 provides (i) 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; (ii)
the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (iii)
the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Group adopted
SFAS 165 on June 30, 2009 on a prospective basis. The adoption of SFAS 165 did
not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
|
In
November 2008, the EITF reached a consensus-for exposure on EITF Issue No. 08-1,
"Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables", or EITF 08-1, which was subsequently ratified by
the FASB and confirmed at its September 2009 meeting. The Task Force
discussed a model that would amend EITF 00-21 to require an entity to estimate
the selling price for all units of accounting, including delivered items, when
vendor-specific objective evidence or acceptable third-party evidence of the
selling price does not exist for them, and eliminate the residual allocation
method and require an entity to apply the relative selling price allocation
method in all circumstances. EITF 08-1 will be effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to
apply this Issue (1) prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements
after the Issuer’s effective date or (2) retrospectively for all periods
presented. Early application is permitted. The Group is
now evaluating the possible impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB approved the "FASB Accounting Standards
Codification" ("Codification") as the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does
not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to
a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will
be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the
Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification
is effective for the Group during the annual period ending December 31, 2009 and
will not have an impact on the financial condition or results of
operations.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The
carrying value of financial instruments including cash, receivables, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and debt, approximates their fair value at June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 due to the relatively short-term nature of these
instruments. The carrying value of long-term accounts receivable approximates
its fair value as it bears interest at a variable rate which reflects the
current market yield level.
On
January 1, 2008, the Group adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS
157”) which was not delayed by FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”).
FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 as it applies to
non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at
fair value on a recurring (at least annual) basis. As a result of the delay,
SFAS 157 was applied to the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities
effective on January 1, 2009, and SFAS 157 does not have significant impact as
at June 30, 2009, as there is no triggering event for impairment
test. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date (also referred to as an exit
price). SFAS 157 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy for
classifying financial instruments that is based on whether the inputs to the
valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or unobservable.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of
observable inputs. The three levels of the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy are
described below:

Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial and operational
decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are
subject to common control or common significant influence. Related
parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Wuhan Guoce Science &
Technology Co., LTD. (GC-Tech) and the Group are subject to common control as
the majority shareholder and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for GC-Tech
is also the majority shareholder and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for
the Group. The Group had $444,786 and $92,511 due from GC-Tech as of
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The total raw materials
purchased from related party were $37,705 and $35,856 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount due from GC-Tech
does not bear interest as it is short term in nature.
On May
22, 2009, GC-Nordic entered into a promissory note in favor of GC China Turbine
Corp. ("GCCT", formerly known as Nordic Turbine Inc.), a Nevada corporation
listed on U.S. Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, in the principal amount of US$1
million. On the same day, GCCT wired the US$1 million to a BVI
company 100% controlled by the Chairman of the Group due to the fact that LHL,
GC-Nordic's parent company, was not yet incorporated. This was
recorded as amount due from related party as of June 30, 2009. Subsequently, on
July 28, 2009, LHL received the proceeds from the related party. (Note

PROMISSORY
NOTE

On May
22, 2009, LHL entered into a promissory note in favour of GCCT in the principal
amount of US$ 1 million. The promissory note is secured by the assets
of LHL, accrues interest at 6% per annum calculated annually from May 31, 2009,
and is due twenty four months from the closing of the Exchange
Transaction. Upon closing of the share purchase and exchange
agreement, as described in note 14, the promissory note, excluding any interest
accrued, will be considered an inter-company loan. If the proposed
transactions are not completed by December 8, 2009, and the principal, together
with interest, have not been fully repaid by June 8, 2010, GCCT will have the
right, at its option, to convert the promissory note to a percentage equity
interest in LHL, equal to 4.44% multiplied by that fraction of the principal not
repaid by June 8, 2010.

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and
incentives available in the jurisdiction in which the Group operates. For
interim financial reporting, the Group estimates the annual tax rate based on
projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax
provision in accordance with the FIN 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in
Interim Period” and APB 18, “Interim Financial Reporting”.
As the year progresses, the Group refines the estimates of the year’s taxable
income as new information becomes available. This continual estimation process
often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When
this occurs, the Group adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in
which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects
the expected annual tax rate.
The
effective tax rate for the six-month ended June 30, 2009 increased 2% from the
23% effective rate for the six-month ended June 30, 2008 to 25%, primarily due
to the decrease of non deductible expenses for tax purposes.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS

The Group
has evaluated subsequent events, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” through the date that
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued on
October 10, 2009.
On July
31, 2009, LHL, GC-Nordic and GCCT entered into a revised Letter of Intent
("Revised LOI"), under which revised the Letter of Intent signed between LHL,
GC-Nordic and GCCT on May 22, 2009, with New Margin Growth Fund L.P. ("New
Margin"), Ceyuan Ventures II, L.P. ("CV") and Ceyuan Ventures Advisors Fund II,
LLC ("CV Advisors"). The revised LOI further provides that (i) upon
consummation of the Merger, GCCT shall directly or indirectly own all of the
outstanding capital stock of GC-Nordic; (ii) the closing date for the Merger
shall be thirty days from the date GC-Nordic completes an audit of its financial
statements as required under U.S. securities laws; and (iii) the obligation of
GC-Nordic to consummate the Merger is conditioned upon an additional financing
of at least US$ 10 million in the merged entity at closing.
On July
31, 2009, the same day of signing the Revised LOI, the above parties entered
into a financing agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides
that GCCT agreed to lend LHL (i) US$ 2.5 million before July 24, 2009 and (ii)
US$ 7.5 million before July 31, 2009. In order to guarantee GCCT’s
lending obligations under the Agreement, New Margin agreed to lend US$ 5 million
to GCCT and CV and CV Advisors each agreed to lend a total of US$ 5 million to
GCCT prior to the dates indicated above. Upon the consummation of the
Merger, the US$ 10 million aggregate loan amount made to GCCT by each of
New Margin, CV and CV Advisors will be converted into shares of GCCT’s common
stock at a conversion price equal to US$0.80 per share. If the Merger
fails to be consummated, the loans will convert into a 29.87% equity interest in
GC-Nordic.
On the
same day, LHL entered into a promissory note in favor of GCCT in the principal
amount of US$ 10 million in connection with GCCT’s loan made to LHL as described
above. Under the terms of the promissory note, GCCT shall forgive the
debt and cancel the promissory note so long as (i) the Merger is completed
pursuant to its terms or (ii) if the Merger is not completed pursuant to its
terms, the debt is converted pursuant to the Agreement. If the Merger
is not completed and the debt is not converted pursuant to the Agreement, the
debt shall be due and payable within 180 days from the date of the promissory
note.

In
furtherance of the Agreement, on the same date, GCCT executed convertible
promissory notes (the "Notes") in favour of New Margin, CV and CV advisors in
the amount of US$ 5 million, US$4.8 million and US$0.2 million,
respectively. The notes earn simple interest at an annual percentage
rate equal to 6% or the lowest rate permissible by law. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the principal and interest due under the Notes will
automatically convert into shares of common stock of GCCT at a conversion price
per share equal to US$0.80. In the event the Merger is not
consummated within 180 days from the date of the Notes, the Notes shall be
converted in accordance with the Agreement and debt underlying the Notes shall
be forgiven and cancelled.
