REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Welwind International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Welwind International, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Welwind International, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Welwind International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Welwind International will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Welwind International suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net stockholders deficit. These factors and others raise substantial doubt about Welwind Internationals ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might reflect these uncertainties.

Welwind Energy International Corporation
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Welwind Energy International Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 18, 1997 as Global Golf Holdings Inc. The Company acquired a business on November 23, 2004 to sell and distribute low carbohydrate and sugar-free foods through retail and wholesale outlets in Western British Columbia, Canada, and through the Internet. On August 17, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding and issued share capital of Welwind Energy International Corporation (WEIC), a private Canadian company. WEIC was founded in 2005 to build, own and operate wind farms on an international scale. Accordingly, the Company is now involved with wind power projects in China. The Company is based in British Columbia, Canada. On November 24, 2007, the Company discontinued operations of the retail and wholesale foods division to focus specifically on the wind power projects in China.
2.
Going Concern
The Company has not realized revenues on its wind power projects, has a working capital deficiency of $1,722,318 and $1,309,577 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $21,480,959 and $20,412,166 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional financing and/or achieving a profitable level of operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management of the Company has undertaken a plan with the goal of sustaining the Companys operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include: (a) becoming cash flow positive via the Companys Zhanjiang turbine and a Power Purchase Agreement from the local power authority, (b) continue efforts to raise significant additional capital and/or other forms of financing with Acterra Group and Adventis Capital; and (c) controlling overhead expenses. There can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in Canadian dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhanjiang Windcor Windfarm Ltd. and Yangxi Windfarm Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31.
b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income tax asset valuation allowance and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of bank accounts held at financial institutions in the United States, Canada, and China. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less, at the time of issuance, to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and is depreciated using the declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Costs included in wind equipment are under construction and will be amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis once they are put into use.
e)
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
f)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions are included in the determination of net income or loss. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Chinese Renminbi. At December 31, 2009, the exchange rate for one Chinese Renminbi was $0.1533 CAD (2008 - $0.1548CAD). For the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, the average exchange rate for one Chinese Renminbi was $0.1671 CAD (2008 - $0.1459 CAD). The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
g)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no items representing comprehensive income/loss.
h)
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation Stock Based Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not recognize any stock based compensation expense.
i)
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Business
The fair values of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Companys operations are in Canada and China resulting in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Companys operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Discontinued Operations
Certain amounts have been reclassified to present the Companys discontinuance of its retail and wholesale foods division, as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, information presented in the notes to the financial statements relates only to the Companys continuing operations. Information relating to discontinued operations is included in Note 10.
k)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
The Company files federal income tax returns in Canada. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal taxes by tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. In certain circumstances, the federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. Tax authorities have not audited any of the Companys income tax returns.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no charges for interest or penalties.
l)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Commitments
a)
The Company entered into an agreement dated January 18, 2006, with the Government of Yangxi City (Yangxi) for the development of a wind farm producing a total of 400,000 kilowatt (KW) per year of electrical power in the next ten years. Yangxi will assist the Company in securing land, sale price for the electricity, financing of the project, and preferential tax treatment. Initially, the Company will be required to prepare a community wind assessment and a feasibility study for approval. Yangxi can terminate the agreement if the project is not under construction within 24 months of signing the agreement. As at June 30, 2009, the Company has commenced construction on the plant and the agreement is in good standing.
b)
The Company entered into an agreement dated March 21, 2006, with the Zhanjiang Foreign Trade & Economic Bureau (Zhanjiang) for the development of a wind power generation project in Zhanjiang City in the Guangdong Province. The project is expected to produce up to 600,000 KW of electrical power per year, with Phase 1 being 100,000 KW per year. The Company had six months from the date of the agreement to begin Phase 1 (commenced) or Zhanjiang had the right to terminate the agreement. The Company granted a 20% interest in this project to an investor.

Net deferred tax asset |

The Company has incurred operating losses of $3,739,719 which, if unutilized, will expire through to 2029. Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of these losses, have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements, and have been offset by a valuation allowance.
The Company is in arrears on filing its statutory income tax returns and it therefore has estimated the expected amount of loss carryforwards available once the outstanding returns are filed. The Company expects to have net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income. There are no potential uncertain tax consequences that would require disclosure.
