Business

Company Overview

We have developed a new technology that we are using in our “WindTamer™” wind turbine. Our patented technology is new to the wind turbine industry. We believe that our technology is a more efficient way to harness wind energy than currently used in the industry. We are in the initial stages of marketing and selling our product to generate power in the residential, commercial, governmental, industrial, recreational, and portable markets. In the future, we plan to develop our technology for sale in the low-head hydro and transportation markets. We intend to market our technology worldwide through manufacturing, distribution and licensing arrangements.

We were incorporated in New York on March 30, 2001, under the name Future Energy Solutions, Inc. In November 2008, we changed our name to WindTamer Corporation. Our founder, Gerald E. Brock, invented the “WindTamer™” wind turbine in 2002. In December 2003, Mr. Brock was issued a patent for the WindTamer turbine technology, which was assigned to us. In 2007, Mr. Brock began to focus entirely on WindTamer and commercialization of the technology. In January 2010, we were issued a patent that protects the ornamental design of the Company's wind turbine diffuser. We have also filed four additional utility patent applications that we believe improve upon our technology, all of which are currently pending. We are seeking international patent protection for our technology.

Since 2002, we have produced numerous working prototypes of WindTamer turbines and have collected a variety of data related to the performance of the machine. From 2002 until the fourth quarter of 2009, we focused primarily on research and development of our technology and production and testing of WindTamer turbine prototypes. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we began selling our turbines with limited marketing efforts, and are gradually increasing our sales and marketing efforts. We started to install turbines in the first quarter of 2010 that we sold in 2009. We have not yet begun large scale manufacturing of our turbines or large scale marketing of them to customers, although we expect to commence both in 2010. We are continually working to improve on our technology.

We currently work with third-party suppliers to provide us with the components for us to assemble our turbines. We continue to refine our manufacturing requirements. We do not have any manufacturing or supply contracts and this could hinder our development if suppliers cease to do business with us or are unable to meet our demand. See “Risk Factors - We are initially relying on independent manufacturers and suppliers for our products which could delay our progress and later cause delay and damage customer relationships.”

In February 2010 we entered into agreements with three distributors for domestic distribution of our products. We expect to enter into agreements with additional distributors for domestic distribution of our products in 2010 and beyond. We plan to license our technology for manufacture and distribution internationally. At this time, however, we have no definitive licensing agreements or arrangements to do so and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into successful arrangements by that time or at all.

Business Strategy

We intend to use our proprietary technology to become a leader in wind turbine and renewable energy markets. We believe that our turbines will be sold to generate energy in the residential, commercial, governmental, industrial, recreational, and portable markets. We plan to do this by, among other things:

	•	Developing manufacturing capacity to facilitate mass production of our wind turbines to be sold in U.S. and strategic alliances for the manufacture and sale to foreign markets;
	•	Developing a sales force both organically and through strategic marketing and distribution alliances;

	•	Enhancing the design, functionality, reliability, safety and cost effectiveness of our patented technology; and
	•	Establishing joint ventures, strategic alliances, working participations, licensing, and/or royalty agreements with third parties to augment our manufacturing and marketing efforts worldwide.

In 2010, we intend to phase out our reliance on subcontractors and third parties for certain aspects of the production of our turbines, and bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house. We do not expect to manufacture our turbines for international delivery, but instead plan on entering into licensing agreements to sell our products in a particular territory.

We have done extensive testing on the performance and efficiency of WindTamer turbines. We believe the data from this testing show the superiority of our product when compared to other currently available wind turbine technologies. We intend to continue to enhance and improve the design and performance of our product and technology. We are currently pursuing further patents that we believe improve upon our wind turbine technology and have four pending utility patent applications.

WindTamer turbines can be installed in a variety of ways, including, among others, mounted on poles, mounted on rooftops, mounted on parking lot light poles and mounted on a mobile trailer. We have initially introduced WindTamer turbines that range in size from 1.0 to 3.5 kilowatts for commercial, industrial, governmental and residential use. Larger turbines, including a 15kw turbine, are currently under development.

We believe that the political climate for the sale of WindTamer turbines is beneficial. The energy that people utilize, how that energy is produced, and the by-products of producing that energy are topics in political forums around the world. The greater use of wind power in lieu of generators that use fossil fuels to generate power will reduce harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

Industry Overview

The use of renewable energy technologies has grown rapidly during the past several years. Climate change concerns coupled with high energy prices are factors that are increasing growth in the renewable energy industries. Investment capital flowing into renewable energy reached US$17 billion in 2008. This has been due to, among other things, significant increases in commodity fuel prices, increased environmental awareness and political and social movement towards greater use of renewable energy. These renewable energy resources include wind, solar, geothermal heat, tides and biofuels. As a result, we believe there is a demand for machines and processes that can deliver renewable energy at rates that are competitive or superior to those currently being offered by competing technologies.

As of December 2008, worldwide wind farm capacity was approximately 120,000 megawatts (MW), and wind power produced approximately 1.3% of U.S. electricity consumption. The U.S. is an important growth area for wind power. The latest American Wind Energy Association, or AWEA, figures show that installed U.S. wind power capacity has reached 28,200 MW which is enough to serve seven million average households.

In the AWEA Small Wind Turbine Global Market Study, year ended 2008, published by the AWEA in June 2009, the AWEA estimates that 74 companies based in the U.S. manufacture, or plan to manufacture, small wind turbines. According to AWEA, grid-connected, residential-scale systems of 1 – 10kWh in capacity constitute the fastest growing market segment. The AWEA study concludes that the single most effective driver for the wind power industry has been, and continues to be, financial incentive programs offered by the federal government and select states, which include, among others, New York, California, Michigan, and Massachusetts. There can be no assurance that these incentives or market conditions will continue, and the failure to do so would have a material adverse affect on our business. See "Risk Factors – 'The expiration or cancellation of federal tax benefits and state regulatory benefits for renewable energy generation would adversely affect our development ' and 'Deteriorative changes in the currently reported condition of the small wind energy industry market would adversely affect our development '"

In February 2010 the Small Wind Certification Council, or SWCC, began accepting certification applications to certify small wind systems to a performance, safety, reliability, and sound standard created by AWEA. Several states have indicated that they will require turbines to be SWCC-certified in order to be eligible for their incentive programs. There can be no assurance, however, that our products will receive SWCC certification. If we do not receive SWCC certification for our products, purchasers of our turbines may not be eligible for incentive programs in states which require the certification for such programs.

Over 300 wind turbine models (in various stages of development) exist worldwide, of which 100 are engineered by U.S. companies. Manufacturing costs vary widely dependent upon many factors as discussed in the AWEA study. These factors include the availability of state incentives, average annual wind speeds, rising global prices for raw materials such as aluminum, copper and steel, operations and maintenance costs, and permitting costs.

Turbines with a capacity to generate 10 kWh of electricity are often used to power single homes or farms in remote or off-grid locations. In our efficiency testing we have found that WindTamer turbines have the ability to generate power at both lower and higher wind speeds than conventional three-bladed or helix-shape blade wind turbines. Based on this testing, we believe that our smaller capacity generators may be able to fill the need provided by 10 kWh wind turbines today.

The cost of wind turbines can typically be offset by available federal and state tax credits and cash rebates. For instance, there is a federal Investment Tax Credit of 30% for qualifying installations of wind energy systems currently scheduled to expire in 2016. Additionally, New York State, through the Energy Research and Development Authority can subsidize up to 50% of a project's cost for commercial and industrial users.

Our Products and Technology

Using our patented technology, we have developed the WindTamer wind turbines. Based on our testing data, we believe that our WindTamer turbines extrapolate a higher amount of usable electricity from the wind’s kinetic energy as compared to similar-sized conventional wind turbine technology currently available, including other diffuser augmented wind turbine technology (see description below in the section titled “Our Technology”), or helical horizontal (a twisted blade rotation in the shape of a helix) or vertical wind turbine technology (a three bladed set up that stands vertical and rotates perpendicular to the wind).

WindTamer

We believe that the appeal of WindTamer rests, in part, with its simplicity. It resembles a sleek jet engine in appearance, rather than the conventional wind turbine with long blades. As the result of this design, we believe it poses little or no threat to birds, pets or the environment. The turbines typically stand 20 to 60 off the ground in stand-alone applications and require only 10 square feet of land or roof-top surface area to mount. Conventional wind turbines require 120-foot towers weighing upwards of 1,500 pounds, with a generator weighing 1,200 pounds set atop the tower and copper wires to transmit power from the generator to the ground add another 200 pounds. WindTamer turbines weigh approximately 100 to 1,000 pounds depending on size and power capacity. WindTamer turbines operate with minimal noise or vibration. The design of our units provides for UV-ray and weather protection based on testing in different seasonal condition. We believe that these features allow for reduced maintenance costs and increased longevity compared to conventional wind turbines, which are bare blades exposed to the elements and have more moving parts.

We believe we will need to continue research and development to improve upon our technology, as is common with many other technologies. We will also need to continue to develop our manufacturing and assembly base and sales and distribution resources and networks to continue the commercialization of our products. We have begun to manufacture turbines for power capacities from 1.0kWh to 3.5 kWh. We are marketing and selling these models for use in the commercial, governmental, industrial, residential and recreational markets.

Our Technology

WindTamer turbines are what are known as a Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine, or DAWT. We believe our patented technology, known as “Fluid-Driven Vacuum Enhanced Generator,” improves upon the existing DAWT technology. Our technology consists of a fluid-driven power generator having a turbine with several vanes, an exhaust chamber, a device for directing a first fluid towards the vanes of the turbine, a device for directing a second fluid through the generator housing assembly without contacting said turbine, a device for combining the first fluid and the second fluid in an exhaust chamber, and a device for creating a vacuum in the exhaust chamber. The technology utilizes two vacuums pulling the wind through WindTamer’s rotor aiding the push of the wind which existing DAWT technology does not provide. We believe that our technology allows for several times the extracted usable electrical energy from the wind’s kinetic energy than is provided by conventional and helical wind turbines of similar or larger size.

We continue to build and test new prototypes and perform additional research and development to further improve our patented technology. During this testing, the Company found that the WindTamer turbine outperformed several of the top selling conventional wind turbines, all of which were two to ten times larger in size than WindTamer. WindTamer produced several times the electrical output of similar sized conventional wind turbines without many of the problems associated with such conventional wind turbines. However, we are continuing to test and may find material negative results in the future. Additionally, there can be no assurance that technological developments by others will not show material negative results in our performance. See “Risk Factors — If we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances into our products, our proposed business could become uncompetitive or obsolete and we may not be able to effectively compete with the alternative products.”

We have also filed four additional utility patent applications that we believe improve upon our wind turbine technology, all of which are currently pending. One of the pending patent applications has been filed under the International Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, which, if granted, provides additional time to file for patent protection for our technology in one or more PCT member countries. This is part of our plan to expand our patent protection beyond the U.S. by filing patent applications in Europe and other foreign jurisdictions.

Competition

We compete directly against companies that manufacture and sell conventional wind turbines and helical wind turbines, and also with those that manufacture and sell generators powered by diesel, natural gas, propane and gasoline. Sales of conventional wind turbines and helical wind turbines make up a very small fraction of the U.S. market for generators, and are sold predominately outside the U.S. According to the AWEA, in 2008, 98% of new capacity added through global wind turbine sales was generated by only eight turbine manufacturing companies: GE Energy, Vestas, Gamesa, Acciona WP, Mitsubishi, Clipper, Suzlon, and Siemens. These companies are manufacturers of large wind turbines. We expect that the larger-capacity versions of the WindTamer turbines will not only compete with these companies, but can also be used as a complement to these larger turbines in wind farm applications.

The small wind turbine market consists of many manufacturers. Bergey WindPower Co., based in Norman, Oklahoma, is one of the world’s leading suppliers of small wind turbines. Bergey WindPower Co. has installations in all 50 states and more than 100 countries, and an international network of about 500 dealers. There are several other suppliers of small wind turbines in the U.S that are focused on the residential and small business markets with whom we will compete, including but not limited to, Southwest Energy, Mariah Power, FloDesign, WePower, Helix Wind, Urban Green Energy, Raum Energy, Kestrel, Proven Energy, Endurance Wind Power and Venetera Energy.

Competitive Advantages

We believe that the WindTamer turbine has several competitive advantages over conventional wind turbines and other energy sources for power generators.

More Cost Effective than Existing Conventional Wind Turbines. We believe that our WindTamer turbines are more cost-effective than existing conventional wind turbines, resulting in a shorter payback period. In addition, we expect annual maintenance for the WindTamer turbine to be significantly less than conventional turbines.

·	Quiet Operation. WindTamer turbines operate quietly even under the heaviest of electrical loads. Conventional wind turbines and traditional fuel operated generators can be very noisy.

Point of Consumption Application. The WindTamer turbine can be used as a point of consumption machine by being placed in very close proximity to where electricity is needed. Conventional wind turbines cannot be roof mounted due to vibration and noise inherent in their operation, and are often placed hundreds of feet, or more, from the point of consumption. Conventional wind turbines typically require an acre of land with guide-wired towers 120 feet high, and several hundred feet of transmission lines along roads and access avenues to the tower, while WindTamer turbines can be placed on top of or adjacent to commercial buildings or residential homes.

Government Support. We believe that the availability of government tax credits for purchasers of wind turbines may be helpful to us in competing with generators powered by other energy sources. For example, the federal government provides a tax credit for 30% of expenditures to install wind energy equipment up to 100 kilowatts and a production tax credit which provides a $.021 per kWh benefit for the first 10 years of facilities operation. States offering financial incentives include, for instance, New York State which through the Energy Research and Development Authority now subsidizes up to 50% of a project's cost for commercial and industrial users. These tax credits can help make wind turbines more attractive than other power generation products. One of our challenges will be to obtain approvals from these government authorities so that purchasers of our products can qualify for these incentives, to the extent required. Since we have only just begun to manufacture and sell our initial products, and have a limited operating history, we cannot be sure that our products will qualify for these incentives. As a result, there can be no assurance that these financial incentives will help to make our products competitive with other energy sources. Additionally, if these incentives or similar incentives in other states are repealed, reduced or not renewed, demand for our products and future development efforts would be adversely effected. See “Risk Factors – The expiration or cancellation of federal tax benefits and state regulatory benefits for renewable energy generation would adversely affect our development.”

Easy Installation. Installation of WindTamer turbine is relatively easy, particularly when compared to installation of conventional wind turbines. A typical installation can be completed in two to three days. During the installation of our first sales, we discovered that the permitting process for our WindTamer units is generally quick and acceptable to local building inspectors and town boards. We have approached and received approval from more than 10 town boards for the installation of our WindTamer turbines.

Works at Various Weather Conditions. Conventional wind turbines automatically shut down by means of furl or feathering when wind speeds exceed approximately 25 to 35 miles per hour. WindTamer turbines have been tested at speeds in excess of 75 miles per hour without shutting down and without incurring any damage. During research and development, WindTamer turbines were left exposed to a wide variety of weather conditions, including snow and ice storms along the Canadian border, for a continuous period of two years with no maintenance issues. The rotor blades are protected from the weather and UV rays, which often contribute to the demise of conventional wind turbines shortening the life of the generator and rotor blades.

Safety. WindTamer turbines pose virtually no safety risks as the rotor blades are housed. Unlike conventional wind turbines, there is no risk of rotor blade throw. Conventional wind turbines can throw rotor blades, and certain large wind turbines have been documented to throw a rotor blade a quarter mile from the turbine. In addition, there is no danger of ice build-up with WindTamer turbines because the rotor blades are housed. When conventional wind turbines are idle, ice can accumulate on the blades and be thrown when the turbines engage, causing potential health hazards to persons or animals during cold weather operation. Conventional wind turbine rotor blades are exposed and operate in open air presenting a hazard to birds. Due to our turbines’ design, birds and bats do not fly into WindTamer turbines.

Lower to the Ground. WindTamer turbines are typically mounted on poles that are half as high as other turbines' poles. WindTamer pole-mounted turbines are installed on a pole that is typically 30 feet to 60 feet in height, depending on the size of the turbine being installed, as compared to poles that are typically 120 feet for a comparable conventional turbine. We are able to use shorter poles because our turbines' efficiency is superior to other turbines, and therefore we do not require the higher winds that exist at higher elevations to produce power. WindTamer turbines can be installed at the higher elevations if the customer elects to capture the higher wind speeds to generate more power.

Additional Vertical Markets

We have received substantial interest in our turbines, including the under-development, larger 172GT-15000 unit, from various entities that we did not originally include as target markets. However, we have since become more aware of the potential high demand for, as well as the variety of applications of, our turbines in these additional vertical markets.

·	Landfills; Airports;

·	Schools and Universities;

·	Mobile Unit Opportunities; and

·	Rooftop and Lighting Pole Applications.

We have discovered there is the potential for many ancillary sales when selling our turbines, including selling service contracts, applying custom color or graphics to a unit, offering long term warranties, offering various types of wind studies, and supplying a range of options in storage batteries.

Domestically, we are utilizing distributors to maximize our sales, as well as employing our own sales staff. We are fulfilling sales orders by initially arranging for the manufacture of our turbines via third parties and, eventually, we plan to manufacture via our in-house manufacturing. We do not expect to manufacture our turbines for international delivery, but instead plan on entering into licensing agreements for the right to manufacture and sell our products in a particular territory.

Customers

While we believe there will be wide application for our products, we have initially focused selling our turbines domestically for residential, commercial and governmental customers. Our initial customers have been in the residential and light commercial markets, although we are in negotiations for larger orders in the governmental, industrial and recreational markets. We plan to work with larger customers for wind farm applications. In the second half of 2010 and beyond, we plan to seek licensing arrangements with international customers.

Intellectual Property

Patents

WindTamer turbines are a Diffuser-Augmented Wind Turbine, or DAWT. We have developed our turbines using our patented technology, “Fluid Driven Vacuum Enhanced Generator” (U.S. Patent No. 6,655,907). This patent was issued in December 2003, was assigned to the Company and expires in 2022.

We also own U.S. Patent No. D608,736 entitled "Diffuser for a Wind Turbine," which issued in January 2010. This patent protects the ornamental design of the Company's wind turbine diffuser. This patent will expire in 2024. We have also filed corresponding design patent applications in Mexico and Canada, both of which are currently pending.

We have also filed four additional utility patent applications that we believe improve upon our wind turbine technology, all of which are currently pending. One of the pending patent applications has been filed under the International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) which provides additional time to file for patent protection for our technology in one or more PCT member countries.

Trademarks

We regard our proprietary rights as valuable assets that are important to our competitive advantage. Our trademarks include the names WindTamer™ and Hydro Tamer™, and the slogan WindTamer Bringing Wind Power Down to Earth™ including the design of that slogan. We have pending trademark applications for each of these trademarks in the U.S. Also, the marks WindTamer™ and Hydro Tamer™ have pending trademark applications in Canada. Further, the marks WindTamer™ and the slogan WindTamer Bringing Wind Power Down to Earth™ have pending trademark applications in Mexico. We plan to use these trademarks in marketing our products.

Government Regulation

Due to their size and noise, among other things, conventional wind turbines can require extensive government approvals for installation, including zoning and related type matters. Private use of electric power generation equipment in the U.S. generally requires meeting applicable municipal building and electrical codes, and installation by persons who are licensed or certified to install such equipment. Installation can also require significant land for installation, up to a requirement of an acre of land. This adds significant cost for a customer or business to install.

Based on its size and relative quiet operation, we believe that installation of a WindTamer turbine has fewer such requirements. While zoning laws vary according to jurisdiction, we believe in many instances no zoning approval would be required for residential or commercial installation of a WindTamer turbine. However, it is possible that zoning approvals for end users could delay implementation for purchasers of our products. For instance, in late 2009 we arranged with the Town of Perry, New York, to install one of our 3.5 kWh wind turbines at the Perry/Warsaw Airport in Perry, New York to assist in our continuing testing and to provide auxiliary power for the airport. The town obtained a local county building permit and Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, approval for installation of the structure on the airport premises. The building permit and FAA approval process took approximately five months.

Several states offer financial incentives to purchasers of small wind powered systems. Some of these states have indicated that receipt of financial incentives available to purchasers of wind powered systems will be dependent upon the purchased system receiving certification from the SWCC.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities have focused on developing, improving, and testing our WindTamer turbine and related components. We plan to continue to focus our resources to enhance the design and performance of our technology, and to develop our larger 7.5 kWh and 15kWh turbines. Research and development expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and since inception through December 31, 2009, were $828,724, $249,171 and $1,124,177, respectively.

Employees

We currently have fifteen full-time employees and six part-time employees. As we further develop and market WindTamer, we will need to hire additional employees. We plan to hire approximately 25 to 50 additional employees over the next 12 months in the areas of sales, administration, engineering and product assembly.

Office and Facilities

Our executive offices are located at 156 Court Street, Geneseo, New York 14454. At this location we lease offices and a warehouse containing a total of 4,300 square feet of space. We utilize this space to assemble our WindTamer turbines. In the second half of 2010 we intend to move into a larger facility to expand our manufacturing capacity and to bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding to purchase shares of our common stock. If any of the events, contingencies, circumstances or conditions described in the risks below actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could, in turn, decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

RISK FACTORS CONCERNING OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for investors to predict future performance based on current operations.

We have limited operating history upon which investors may base an evaluation of our potential future performance. We have had no significant revenues to date. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop consistent revenue sources, or that our operations will be profitable. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expense and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in early stage of development.

Any forecasts we make about our operations, including, without limitation, sales and plans for fundraising, may prove to be inaccurate. For instance, we planned to begin sales of our products in the first half of 2009 but did not meet that goal as we continued to refine the development of our production models. We commenced our selling efforts in the late third quarter of 2009, but have had only limited sales to date. We plan to continue our selling efforts, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in expanding our sales. Additionally, we had planned on raising $20 million in a private placement in 2009, but we later determined to cease raising funds in that private placement after raising only $741,000. We stopped raising funds after raising only $741,000 because we reassessed our cash needs and also determined that the appropriate focus of our executive management should be on product development rather than fundraising, and further concluded that it was not in the best interests of the Company to raise more than $741,000 at that time.

We must, among other things, determine appropriate risks, rewards and level of investment in each project, respond to economic and market variables outside of our control, respond to competitive developments and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing such risks and the failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will need additional capital to sustain our operations and may seek further financing to accelerate our growth, which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. If we are unable to raise additional capital, as needed, the future growth of our business and operations would be severely limited.

A limiting factor on our growth, including our ability to enter our proposed markets, attract customers, and deliver our product in the targeted electrical power production markets, is our limited capitalization compared to other companies in the industry.

We will need additional capital to bring our operations to a sustainable level over the next twelve months. We raised approximately $2.6 million in equity capital during 2009. However, if we are unable to generate any additional needed capital from our operations, we will need to seek additional financing. We may also seek additional financing to accelerate our growth. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, this will result in increased interest expense. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing necessary to further implement our plan of operation can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to develop our business could suffer if we are unable to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, which would have the effect of limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future.

The auditors report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is qualified as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are a development stage company and have had no significant revenues to date. The lack of sales and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we launch the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, especially during the current global financial crisis all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a complete loss of your investment.

Our future success depends on our founder and other key executives and our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

Our future success is largely dependent upon our founder, Gerald Brock, and the other principal members of our executive team including, without limitation, our President William Schmitz. The unexpected loss of the services of any of these persons might impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives and have a serious impact and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and an investment in our stock. Recruiting and retaining qualified management, sales, marketing, and other personnel and consultants will also be critical to our success. We may not be able to attract and retain these personnel and consultants on acceptable terms. We do not maintain "key person" insurance on any of our employees.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, expand our production capabilities or improve our operational, financial and management information systems, which would impair our results of operations.

If we are successful in executing our business plan, we will experience growth in our business that could place a significant strain on our business operations, management and other resources. We intend to phase out our reliance on subcontractors and third parties for certain aspects of the production of our turbines, and bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house. As a result, our ability to manage our growth will require us to expand our production capabilities, continue to improve our operational, financial and management information systems, and to motivate and effectively manage our employees. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to expand our production capabilities effectively or at all, that our systems, procedures and controls or financial resources will be adequate, or that our management will keep pace with this growth. We cannot provide assurance that our management will be able to manage this growth effectively.

We depend on outside consultants with whom we do not have agreements which could have an adverse effect on our business if they were to discontinue providing services.

We are a development stage company and have only 21 employees. We have utilized the services of outside consultants to assist in developing and implementing our business plan and operations. These consultants have assisted us primarily with the assembly, construction and design of WindTamer turbine prototypes and production models, and component parts related thereto, the development and planning of manufacturing and distribution logistics and strategy, and advice and assistance on our management structure, business development and product marketing strategy. We do not have agreements with them to perform services for us and they could stop providing services for us at any time. As a result, if any or several of these consultants were to discontinue providing services for us before we are able to hire additional full-time employees or make arrangements with additional consultants, it would have an adverse effect on our business.

We face competition from several sources, which may make it more difficult to introduce WindTamer turbines into the electrical power generation market.

The power generation and renewable energy markets in which we compete are rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. We face formidable competition from traditional and well-capitalized fossil-fueled generator manufacturers and distributors, from established conventional wind turbine manufacturers and distributors as well as from other providers of renewable energy. Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, large customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. They may be able to operate with a lower cost structure, and may be able to adopt aggressive pricing policies that make it difficult for us to penetrate our target markets. Competitors in the traditionally powered generator markets, including fossil-fueled generators, the conventional wind turbine powered generator markets and other renewable energy markets also may be able to devote far greater resources to technology development and marketing than we can.

We may not be successful in developing and sustaining the alliances necessary for the successful penetration of our target markets.

Our business plan contemplates that we establish and sustain relationships with third-party distributors or retailers for the production and marketing of WindTamer turbines. We have begun establishing relationships to distribute and market our products. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing or sustaining the necessary relationships, or that these relationships will prove to be successful in selling our products. If we are not successful in securing or sustaining these critical alliances on reasonable terms, we may not generate sufficient revenue to conduct our operation or become profitable.

Our agreement with an early stage company for the order of some of our initial turbines contains uncertainty regarding an exclusivity provision which could have an adverse effect on our growth and development, and we could be deemed in breach of the agreement and required to return payments made to us.

In March 2009 we entered into an agreement with an early stage company, Alternative Wind Resources, LLC, to produce a 15kWh prototype wind turbine unit. The agreement also called for the order of 1,000 turbines from us and provided Alternative Wind Resources with an exclusive right to purchase from us all 15kWh and larger wind turbines for wind farms and industrial uses and development for an undefined period. The agreement contemplated the 15kWh prototype would be delivered by May 30, 2009, but we did not deliver the 15kWh prototype. In April 2009 we also granted Alternative Wind Resources an option for 60 days to enter into an exclusive license agreement with us for 50 years for the sale of our 15 kWh wind turbines and larger upon the payment of a $6.0 million license fee. The option was subject to extension if our due diligence provided to them was not reasonably acceptable. Alternative Wind Resources paid a $10,000 fee for the option but did not pay the $6.0 million license fee. We received a letter from Alternative Wind Resources dated September 10, 2009 terminating the agreement based on our failure to deliver the prototype, and the option based on the failure to provide due diligence, and demanding the return of $60,000 previously paid to the Company. The Company believes that it has complied with the provisions of the agreement and intends to dispute Alternative Wind Resources’ claims that it did not provide such information. The Company has confirmed the termination of the agreements and has disputed these requests although there can be no assurance that it will be successful. If we are not successful in disputing the claims we may be required to return the $60,000 in payments which could have a material adverse effect on our capital plans over the next twelve months, and could require that we raise additional capital sooner than planned if we are not able to generate sufficient capital from operations. As of December 31, 2009, the $60,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's balance sheet.

If the agreement or option is not ultimately deemed terminated, the exclusivity provision could limit our ability to expand our customer base in these markets in the future which also could have an adverse effect on our growth and development.

If we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances into our products, our proposed business could become uncompetitive or obsolete and we may not be able to effectively compete with the alternative products.

We expect that technological advances in the processes and procedures for harnessing wind energy will continue to occur. As a result, there are risks that alternative products to WindTamer turbines could be developed for generating electricity. These advances could also allow our competitors to produce wind turbines with better efficiency and at a lower cost than us. In addition, processes and methods for harnessing renewable energy are also continually under development. If we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances, our wind turbines could be less efficient than methods developed by our competitors, which could cause our business to be uncompetitive.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected.

Our viability will depend on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology to distinguish our product from our competitors’ products and services. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely primarily on a combination of confidentiality procedures, copyright, trademark and patent laws.

We hold a United States patent for the design of our WindTamer wind turbine and a patent that protects the ornamental design of the Company's wind turbine diffuser. We also have four pending patent applications related to the original technology and for which we plan to make foreign filings. In addition, we are developing a number of new innovations for which we intend to file patent applications. No assurance can be given that any of these patents will afford meaningful protection against a competitor or that any patent application will be issued. Patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules, regulations and procedures that differ from those of the United States, and thus there can be no assurance that foreign patent applications related to United States patents will issue. If these foreign patent applications issue, some foreign countries provide significantly less patent protection than the United States. The status of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth of claims issued is uncertain. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our patents, and any patents that may be issued to us in the future, will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. No assurance can be given that patents issued to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Unauthorized use of our proprietary technology could harm our business. Litigation to protect our intellectual property rights can be costly and time-consuming to prosecute, and there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce our rights or be able to enforce our rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.

Although we believe that our technology does not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business will be heavily reliant upon patented and patentable technology for wind turbines and related intellectual property. We are not aware of any infringement by us or broad claims against which we may infringe. In the event that products we sell are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products. In such event, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products or proposed products are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.

If our products and technology do not achieve market acceptance, we may not generate sufficient revenue to conduct our operations or become profitable.

We are a development stage company and have generated no significant revenues to date. Although we have patented the technology used in WindTamer turbines, we have just begun attempts to market and sell our products. We cannot assure you that a sufficient number of customers will purchase our products. The failure of WindTamer turbines or other products we develop to be accepted in the commercial marketplace would have a material adverse effect on our business. Our technology and products may not compete well against conventional wind turbines and other technologies, including fossil-fueled generators, on the basis of performance and cost or to achieve market acceptance. This failure to effectively compete could also have a material adverse effect on our business. As a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

The expiration or cancellation of federal tax benefits and state regulatory benefits for renewable energy generation would adversely affect our development.

Financial incentives to purchasers of our wind turbines will be helpful in our development and growth. In its Small Wind Turbine Global Market Study, the American Wind Energy Association in June 2008 concluded that the single most effective driver for the wind power industry has been, and continues to be, financial incentive programs offered by the federal government and select states. A small number of states have reduced their incentive levels on a per-project basis in order to cut costs while assisting the same (or larger) amount of consumers, while other states have increased their incentive programs with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in February 2009. The state incentive programs are supplemented by additional federal support for the wind power industry. For instance, there is a Federal Investment Tax Credit of 30% for the purchase and installation of qualifying small wind electric systems. This credit is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2016. Additionally, there is a Federal Production Tax Credit, which provides a $.021 per kWh benefit for the first 10 years of facilities operation which is currently set to expire for wind on December 31, 2012. These credits can help make wind turbines more attractive than other power generation products.

Since we have only just begun to market our products and have a limited operating history, we cannot be sure that these incentives will help our products compete with other power generation products. As a result, there can be no assurance that they will be helpful. Additionally, if these incentives or similar incentives in one or more states or the federal government are repealed, reduced or not renewed, demand for our products and future development efforts would be adversely affected. Furthermore, the current economic crisis could make the repeal, reduction, or non-renewal of these incentives by certain states or the federal government more likely.

Deteriorative changes in the small wind energy industry market would adversely affect our development.

Several factors have helped the renewable energy markets, including the small wind energy markets. These factors include, policy support from the state and federal legislatures, rising and volatile prices of conventional electricity, consumer education, and an increased public concern for environmental issues which favor continued development. There can be no assurance that these conditions will continue to exist throughout our development and continued operation. As a result, it is possible that these conditions could deteriorate or worsen in a manner that would adversely affect demand for our products and future development efforts. Furthermore, the current economic crisis could make the deterioration of the conditions of the small wind energy industry market more likely.

We are initially relying on independent manufacturers and suppliers for our products which could delay our progress and later cause delay and damage customer relationships.

We currently use third party manufacturers and suppliers for the development of our products. Although we plan to develop our own manufacturing operations for certain aspects of our domestic production, we currently have no large scale manufacturing capabilities. If we are unable to maintain satisfactory arrangements for building our products, our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, once we enter into such relationships, we may not have long-term written agreements with any third-party manufacturers or suppliers. At this time we have no such long-term written agreements. As a result, any of these manufacturers or suppliers could unilaterally terminate their relationships with us at any time, which could adversely affect our ability to produce our products. Establishing relationships with new manufacturers would require a significant amount of time and would cause us to incur delays and additional expenses, which would also adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In addition, a manufacturer’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements for customers for those items. This, in turn, may cause customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand reduced prices, and could result in a negative customer satisfaction that could negatively impact our future sales. This could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are developing larger turbines for sale, which we may not be able to design, which may not be marketable and which we may not be able to properly manufacture.

We believe that there is a substantial market for our larger turbines, including our currently under development 15kw turbine. Although we have done significant research and development, including computer modeling, of our larger turbines, we have not designed, built and tested a turbine larger than our 3.5kw turbine. As a result, there can be no assurance that the larger turbines will provide the same or similar efficiency levels as our smaller turbines, and therefore the larger turbines may produce less energy than projected making them less attractive to potential purchasers.

In addition, the design and development of our larger turbines is costly, and we may not be able to fully fund for this design, development and testing. We are currently in negotiations with third parties to pay for some or all of the design, development and testing of these larger turbines, but there can be no assurances that such negotiations will be successful. If we are not successful in designing, developing and testing our larger turbines, we will not be able to execute on our business plan which could have a negative affect on our results of operations and your investment.

Further, assuming we can successfully design, develop and test our larger turbines, manufacturing these larger turbines will be expensive and may require skills that we do not possess. The larger turbines that are currently under development are significantly larger than our current turbines, and the manufacturing, assembly and installation procedures are likely to be different than those associated with our current smaller turbines. If we are not able to properly manufacture, assemble and install the larger turbines, or arrange for such, then we will not be able to execute on our business plan which could have a negative affect on our results of operations and your investment

We provide a warranty for our turbines, which may result in us providing significant customer support, maintenance and repairs at significant cost to us without corresponding revenue, which could have a materially negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We offer a standard warranty for our turbines and offer certain customers an extended warranty for an additional fee. In the future, we plan to offer service contracts to certain customers. Although we do not expect our turbines to require significant maintenance, there can no assurances that such will prove to be correct during the term of the warranty or extended warranty. If some or all of our turbines require repairs or maintenance, we may be required to spend significant time, money and other resources repairing or maintaining the turbines at significant cost to us without generating any additional revenue for us. We do not currently reserve funds on our balance sheet to fund servicing our warranty obligations, if any. Servicing our warranties could result in significant funds and resources being expended by us, which could have a materially negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and your investment.

RISK FACTORS CONCERNING INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY

There is currently a limited public market for our shares, and if an active market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling their shares.

There is currently only a limited public trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in the Company will lead to the development of an active trading market or how liquid that trading market might become. If an active trading market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell shares of our common stock at a price that is attractive or at all. As a result, an investment in our common stock may be illiquid and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all when they desire to sell.

Our common stock is deemed to be a “Penny Stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.

The SEC has adopted regulations that define a “penny stock,” generally, to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling our securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

There is limited liquidity in our shares.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

developments concerning intellectual property rights and regulatory approvals relating to WindTamer;

quarterly variations in our results or the results of our competitors;

developments in our industry and target markets;

general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our own operating performance.

Recently, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of shares of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our shares. Price volatility may be worse if trading volume of our common stock is low.

We may issue additional shares of common stock in the future, which could cause dilution to all shareholders.

We have a large amount of authorized but unissued common stock which our Board of Directors may issue without stockholder approval. We will need additional capital to bring our operations to a sustainable level over the next twelve months, and may seek this capital in the form of equity financing. We may also seek to raise additional equity capital in the future to fund business alliances, develop new prototypes, and grow our manufacturing and sales capabilities organically or otherwise. Any issuance of additional shares of our common stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all shareholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock.

We are controlled by a principal stockholder who may exert significant control over us and our significant corporate decisions in a manner adverse to your personal investment objectives, which could depress the market value of our stock.

Gerald E. Brock, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is the largest beneficial owner of our stock. Through his personal holdings and shares over which he is deemed to have beneficial ownership, he beneficially owned approximately 43.3% of our outstanding shares as of February 28, 2010. Through this beneficial ownership, Mr. Brock can significantly influence the election or removal of our directors and the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and approval of mergers or sales of substantially all of our assets. The interest of our principal stockholder may conflict with interests of other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also harm the market price of our common stock by, among other things:

•

delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company;

•

impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our company;

•

causing us to enter into transactions or agreements that are not in the best interests of all of our stockholders; or

•

discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the New York Business Corporation Law contain provisions that could discourage a takeover that shareholders may consider favorable.

Our basic corporate documents and the New York Business Corporation Law contain provisions and authorized but unissued shares that might enable our management to resist a takeover. These provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or a change in our management.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified Board of Directors, with each class of directors subject to re-election every three years. This classified board, will have the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to insert their representatives on our Board of Directors and gain control of the Company.

The Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that neither the Company’s Bylaws nor Certificate of Incorporation provisions addressing, among other provisions, the Classified Board of Directors or removal of directors, may be amended, altered, or repealed by shareholders unless approved by an affirmative vote of in excess of 66 2/3% of the shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding at the time of any such proposed amendment, alteration, or attempt to repeal. As such, it is unlikely that the above-described provisions contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended, altered, or repealed.

Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors also has the power, without shareholders’ approval, to designate the terms of one or more series of preferred stock and issue shares of preferred stock which could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover, such as issuing preferred stock with greater voting rights than the common stock. In doing so our Board of Directors may determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including the designation of the series, the number of shares of the series, the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, which could have preferences and priority over holders of our common stock with respect to these rights.

In addition, our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, approximately 384,000,000 common shares, without action by our shareholders. The issuance of this substantial number of additional common shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Such issuance may dilute the voting power of existing holders of common shares.

These provisions and our authorized but unissued shares could discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions, and could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, or discourage transactions that shareholders may consider favorable.

We have determined that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, which, if not remedied, could have an adverse effect on our business and our stock price.

We are required to design and maintain an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting and assess and report on such internal control structure annually. Additionally, we must also maintain adequate disclosure controls and procedures and include in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. In making these assessments, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has determined that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2009. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting related to: 1) an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls in order to assure adequate segregation of duties; 2) a general lack of formally documented comprehensive entity level controls; and, 3) incomplete documentation and application of general computer control policies and procedures associated with information technology systems used for financial reporting. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures related to the Company's failure to timely disclose a material agreement.

We are implementing measures to remediate these deficiencies, as described further below under Item 9A(T) "Controls and Procedures." There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or we encounter difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed. Current and potential shareholders could also lose confidence in our public reporting and we may be subject to liability and/or sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, either of which could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

These reports can be accessed free of charge.

Item 2.

Properties

Our corporate headquarters are located at 156 Court Street, Geneseo, New York 14454. At this location we lease offices and a warehouse containing a total of 4,300 square feet of space. We utilize this space to assemble our WindTamer turbines. The sublease is for a two year term from November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2011, with a monthly rent of $1,400. We own or lease no other real estate.

We believe that we will need to lease or acquire additional properties during the second half of 2010 when we anticipate our operations to grow. This includes our plan to move into a larger facility for manufacturing capacity to bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

From time to time we are involved with legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4.

Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders.

None.

PART II

Item 5.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Common Stock

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") under the symbol WNDT. The common stock was first approved for quotation on the OTCBB on November 16, 2009, and no bid quotations were reported prior to fourth quarter of 2009. The quarterly high and low bid prices as reported by the OTCBB between November 16, 2009 and December 31, 2009 were $2.60 and $.40, respectively. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

At February 28, 2010, we had 118 holders of record. We believe that the number of beneficial owners of our common stock on that date was substantially greater.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to use any future earnings primarily for the expansion of our business. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be subject to applicable limitations, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and under other captions contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a development-stage company that has developed a new type of wind turbine, based on our patented technology. We believe that our patented technology enables our turbines to harness wind energy more efficiently than other turbines currently available in the market, thereby enabling our turbines to provide more energy than other comparably sized and priced turbines.

We were formed in 2001 and received our first patent in 2003. From 2003 through the third quarter of 2009, we focused virtually all of our resources on research and development, including the testing of multiple prototypes. We have collected a variety of test data related to the performance of the machine. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we began hiring our experienced management team as we expanded our efforts from research and development to also include sales, marketing, operations and related efforts. We have had no significant revenues to date. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we began selling our turbines, with installations of turbines beginning in the first quarter of 2010. We have not yet begun large-scale manufacturing.

We are seeking to market our products in the residential, commercial, governmental, industrial, recreational, and portable markets. In the future, we intend to develop WindTamer turbines of several sizes and capabilities for the low-head hydro renewable energy and transportation markets. Our initial customers have purchased our smaller turbines in the residential and light commercial markets. We are targeting customers for substantially larger orders in the governmental, industrial and recreational markets.

On November 25, 2008, we effected a 20-for-1 split of our outstanding shares of common stock resulting in there then being approximately 79,640,000 common shares outstanding. In addition, the Company’s authorized shares were increased to 500,000,000 common shares, and 5,000,000 preferred shares. The shares of preferred stock are undesignated “blank check” shares. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the stock split.

Financial Operations

The Company expects to incur substantial additional costs, including costs related to expanding our operations to meet our anticipated growth and ongoing research and development activities. We have utilized the proceeds raised from our private placements conducted in 2008 and 2009 to sustain our operations and produce our WindTamer prototype turbines. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our level and types of sales and the timing and progress of those efforts, continued progress in our research and development programs, the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patents, competing technological and market development and the cost of product commercialization. We do not expect to generate a positive cash flow from operations at least until the commercial launch of our first products, which started in the late third quarter of 2009, and possibly later if we are unable to establish satisfactory manufacturing and distribution arrangements, or our products are not initially accepted by the market. This will be affected to a large extent to our ability to secure multi-unit orders from larger commercial customers who we have begun targeting.

We may require additional external financing to sustain our operations if we cannot achieve positive cash flow from our anticipated operations. Additionally, even if we are able to achieve positive cash flow from operations following the initial launch of our products we may continue to seek to raise additional capital to accelerate the growth of our operations or build on our manufacturing and distribution infrastructure. Success in our future operations is subject to a number of technical and business risks, including our continued ability to obtain future funding, satisfactory product development, and market acceptance for our products as further described above under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008

We had no revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, or 2008, or since inception.

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, or fiscal 2009, were $2,824,440 and $1,139,806 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, or fiscal 2008, and $4,056,181 since inception through December 31, 2009. The increase in operating expenses was due to the increase in operating activities in fiscal 2009 as we began to build our first production models and prepare our operations to begin our first sales.

Our operating expenses have consisted primarily of officer compensation, consulting fees and research and development expenses. The increase in operating expenses in fiscal 2009 included an increase in research and development expenses of $579,553 and an increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses, of $1,105,081 as compared to fiscal 2008. This increase in research and development expenses was comprised primarily of labor and materials for the construction, testing and refinement of our production models. This increase in SG&A expenses was comprised primarily of compensation and professional fees, including stock-based compensation expense for employees and consultants of $1,011,030 and $407,752 in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company incurred net losses of $2,823,052 and $1,139,806 for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $4,054,601 cumulative since inception.

During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations.

We have initially introduced WindTamer turbines from 1.0 to 3.5 kilowatts for commercial, industrial, governmental and residential use. Larger turbines, including a 15kw turbine, are currently under development. We have not yet begun large scale manufacturing of our turbines or large scale marketing of them to customers, although we expect to commence both in 2010. We have begun working with distributors for WindTamer turbines for domestic sale. We plan to pursue licensing opportunities later in 2010. At this time, however, we have no definitive licensing agreements or arrangements to do so and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into successful arrangements by that time or at all.

We have utilized the proceeds we raised from our private placements conducted in 2008 and 2009 to implement our business plan and build prototypes of our WindTamer turbines. We plan to utilize these remaining proceeds in the manufacture and commercialization of our products and technology. We will also have to expand our management team and sales and marketing team to accommodate our growth and expansion. We began taking orders for our first sales in late 2009 and made our first deliveries in January 2010. We plan to hire approximately 25 to 50 persons over the next 12 months in the areas of sales, administration, engineering and product assembly. We have outsourced our manufacturing function to local manufacturers to begin sales but during 2010 we intend to phase out our reliance on subcontractors and third parties for certain aspects of production, and bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house.

In March 2009, we entered into an agreement with Alternative Wind Resources, LLC to produce a 15kWh prototype wind turbine unit by May 30, 2009 in which it agreed to reimburse us for engineering and materials costs for development of this larger prototype unit. The Company has demanded $77,413.30 as reimbursement for engineering and materials costs, which has not been paid to date. The customer also agreed to provide the Company with a purchase order for one thousand (1,000) 15kWh units within one year after delivery of the prototype. The agreement also granted Alternative Wind Resources, LLC the exclusive right to purchase all 15kWh and larger wind turbine units for wind farm and industrial uses and development. The customer provided a $50,000 deposit for the orders, but did not provide the purchase order. We did not deliver the 15kWh prototype required under the agreement. In April 2009 we also granted the customer an option for 60 days to enter into an exclusive license agreement with us for 50 years for the sale of our 15 kWh wind turbines and larger upon the payment of $6.0 million license fee. The option was subject to extension if our due diligence provided to them was not reasonably acceptable. Alternative Wind Resources, LLC paid a $10,000 fee for the option, but never paid the $6.0 million license fee. Alternative Wind Resources, LLC, sent us a letter dated September 10, 2009 terminating the agreement and option and demanding return of the $60,000 paid under these agreements for the failure to deliver a prototype and the failure to provide due diligence requested under the option. Specifically, section 4 of the option agreement required that the Company provide Alternative Wind Resources, LLC with documentation on our fluid driven vacuum enhanced generator patent (United States Patent No. 6655907 issued December 2, 2003), information about our patent applications, and evidence that WindTamer has the authority to grant such exclusive rights to Alternative Wind Resources, LLC. The Company provided copies of our patent for that subject matter as well as patent pending applications. The Company believes that it has complied with these provisions of the agreement and has disputed Alternative Wind Resources, LLC’s claims that it did not provide such information. We have confirmed the termination of the agreement and option and also disputed these claims for payment although there can be no assurance that we will be successful. If we are not successful, the claim for $60,000 could have a material adverse effect on our capital plans over the next twelve months and could require that we raise additional capital sooner than planned, if we are not able to generate sufficient capital from operations. As of December 31, 2009, the $60,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's balance sheet.

There can be no assurance that our management will be successful in completing our product development programs, implementing the corporate infrastructure to support operations at the levels called for by our business plan, conclude a successful sales and marketing plan with third parties to attain significant market penetration or that we will generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had a working capital of $742,964 as compared to $171,038 of working capital as of December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital is attributed to proceeds of approximately $816,000 received in our private placement of common stock as well as proceeds of approximately $1,600,000 from the exercise of certain consultant stock options in July and November 2009, offset by the use of capital in the development of our production models and related expenses during fiscal 2009. Our principal source of liquidity has been from our founder, and proceeds of $977,000 from a private placement of our common stock completed in 2008 and the proceeds from two private placements conducted in 2009.

We launched the commercialization of our products in the third quarter of 2009 with sales and installations of turbines beginning in the first quarter of 2010. We believe that we will need additional capital to meet anticipated demand for our products over the next twelve months. We raised approximately $2.6 million in private equity financing in 2009. We believe that we will need approximately $1.5 to $2.5 million of additional capital over the next twelve months to bring our business to a level to be able to sustain positive cash flow from operations. If we are unable to generate this amount from our operations, we will need to seek additional financing. We have outsourced our manufacturing function to local manufacturers to begin sales but during 2010 we intend to phase out our reliance on subcontractors and third parties for production, and bring certain parts of our domestic production in-house. We may also seek additional financing for our plans to build internal manufacturing capacity. We believe that we would need approximately $6.0 to $7.0 million to do so. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any needed amounts on these terms for these uses or that these amounts will be sufficient for our plans.

There can be no assurance that any revenues from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements and implement our plan of operations for the next twelve month period. In such event, we may need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing. Additionally, even if we are able to achieve cash flow from operations we may seek to raise additional capital to accelerate the growth of our operations or build on our manufacturing and distribution infrastructure.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations.

The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. Furthermore, our ability to raise additional capital may be made more difficult by the global financial crisis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant 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 shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation, on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related estimates and assumptions discussed below are among those most important to an understanding of our financial statements.

On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), now ASC 718. ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” now ASC 505 and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees,” now ASC 505. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, which ever is more readily determinable in accordance with SFAS 123(R), now ASC 718.

Management has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Prior to there being a public market for the Company shares, the fair value of the underlying shares was determined based on recent transactions by the Company to sell shares to third parties. Since the Company's stock started trading on the OTCBB, the closing price on the day prior to the grant date has been used. Further, the excepted volatility was calculated using the historical volatility of a similar public entity in the alternative electricity industry in accordance with Question 6 of SAB Topic 14.D.1, ASC 718. In making this determination and finding another similar company, the Company considered the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other entities. Based on the development stage of the Company, similar companies with enough historical data are not available. The Company was able to find one entity that met the industry criterion and as a result has based its expected volatility off this company’s historical stock prices for a period similar to the expected term of the option. The company used is larger and at a later stage in its life cycle. Our actual volatility could vary from the estimate used based on this company, which could have a material impact on future results of operations. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options depending on the date of the grant and expected life of the options. The expected life of options used was based on the contractual life of the option granted. The Company determined the expected dividend rate based on the assumption and expectation that earnings generated from operations are not expected to be adequate to allow for the payment of dividends in the near future.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as of December 31, 2009. This conclusion is based on the Company’s failure to timely disclose as a material agreement the Option Agreement between the Company and Alternative Wind Resources, LLC, dated April 29, 2009 and due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed further below under "Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting."

We are committed to improving our disclosure controls and procedures. As part of this commitment, we have taken steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures. These steps include: (i) updating our disclosure controls and procedures to require that all agreements entered into by the Company be provided to multiple individuals within the management team for evaluation; (ii) requiring that management confer with the Company’s

legal counsel and independent auditors when questions as to the materiality of disclosure requirements for agreements arise; and (iii) providing additional education to the management team regarding the Company’s reporting requirements and obligations. They also include the steps we plan to take to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed further below under "Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses."

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. There can be no assurance, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a public company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting described above, management has identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009:

We were ineffective in maintaining a sufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls in order to assure adequate segregation of duties. Currently, all aspects of our financial reporting process are performed by a single individual with limited segregation of duties and limited secondary review, including but not limited to access to the underlying accounting records and systems and the ability to post and record journal entries. Further, in certain instances where the review is performed there is no adequate documentation of the review. This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely fail to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures included in SEC filings. As a result of the above, there is a lack of segregated duties in the following business processes: payroll, treasury and accounts payable. Specifically, we determined that because of the latter situations, our controls over the preparation, review and monitoring of the financial statements were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that financial disclosures agreed to appropriate supporting detail, calculations or other documents.

·	We have a general lack of formally documented comprehensive entity level controls. These controls include a process for anonymously reporting potential code of conduct violations without fear of retribution and a lack of a formal audit committee and audit committee charter.

·	Our documentation and application of general computer control policies and procedures associated with information technology systems used for financial reporting are incomplete to the level necessary to reasonably assure the financial statements and related disclosures are complete and accurate.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2009, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

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

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

In response to the identified material weaknesses, management, with oversight from the Company’s Board of Directors or its audit committee, when formed, plans to improve our control environment and to remedy the identified material weaknesses by adding qualified resources to implement, maintain and monitor the required internal controls over the financial reporting process. These ongoing efforts are focused on (i) hiring additional qualified resources to provide for reasonable and necessary segregation of duties to allow for the compilation, review and analysis of complete financial reporting in a timely manner, (ii) establishing a formal audit committee with a charter, (iii) developing a sufficient code of conduct including a process for anonymously reporting potential code of conduct violations without fear of retribution, and (iv) the issuance of general computer control policies and procedures associated with information technology systems used for financial reporting to the level necessary to reasonably assure the financial statements and related disclosures are complete and accurate.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
