NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We suggest that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC. We believe that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein and that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 (previously SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008.

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observations of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
 
 
6

 
 
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
 
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2010. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The derivatives listed above are carried at fair value. The fair value amounts in current period earnings associated with the Company’s derivatives resulted from Level 2 and 3 fair value methodologies. The observable data includes the quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors.

Reclassifications.
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Nacel Energy has incurred material recurring losses from operations.  Since inception, Nacel Energy has incurred losses of approximately $6.55 million.  In addition, Nacel Energy is experiencing a continuing operating cash flow deficiency. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about Nacel Energy’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Nacel Energy is pursuing, and will  continue to pursue, additional equity financing and/or debt financing while managing cash flow in an effort to provide funds and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and to support wind project development activities.

The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liability that may result should Nacel Energy be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Senior Secured Note

On November 24, 2009, Nacel entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance of a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and 3,500,000 Warrants in a private placement with a single institutional investor (the “Investor”).  Proceeds from the Note were $730,000 with repayment amount of $900,000.  The Note has an original issue discount of $150,000.  $20,000 of the initial proceeds was used to pay legal costs for the investor.  In addition, Nacel paid an additional $25,000 in separate legal fees associated with the offering.  The legal fees were deferred and will be amortized until maturity to interest expense.

On April 23, 2010, Nacel entered into an Exchange Agreement whereby the Note was exchanged for a new Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “2010 Convertible Note”) and original Warrants were exchanged for New Warrants containing various changes and modifications. The principal amount of the 2010 Convertible Note is $935,000 consisting of the $900,000 original principal plus an additional $35,000 of costs and expenses which Nacel is obligated to reimburse the Investor. The 2010 Convertible Note is payable in seven equal monthly installments of $133,571 beginning on September 23, 2010 and matures on December 23, 2010.  No interest accrues unless an event of default occurs, in which case the interest rate shall be 18% per annum.  Nacel may pay each monthly installment in cash or, at its option, subject to the satisfaction of customary equity conditions, in shares of common stock.  The Note is convertible into shares of Nacel’s common stock at the lower of $0.30 per share or 90% of the 20-day variable weighted average price per share, reduced from the initial conversion price of $0.90 per share.

On July 27, 2010, Nacel modified the note.  Under the terms of the Second Exchange Agreement, the 2010 Convertible Note was exchanged for a new Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “New Note”) whereby the only change was to increase to 9.9% the beneficial ownership limitation of Company shares which can be owned by the investor.

Nacel also modified the outstanding warrants issued with the original note.  Nacel increased the original warrant amount from 3,500,000 to 7,500,000 and reduced the exercise price from $0.90 to $0.30 per share.  In addition, Nacel issued an additional 3,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.30 that are exercisable for one year from the modification date.

Nacel evaluated the extension event under ASC 470-60. Because the investors did not grant a concession on this outstanding loan, the transaction was not accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, Nacel evaluated these transactions under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. Because the change in fair value of the conversion option was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt, the debt modification was determined to be substantial and accordingly the debt was extinguished.  The difference in the carrying value of the original debt and its corresponding derivatives and the new debt and its corresponding derivatives was $1,815,327 which is recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

The embedded conversion option does not contain an explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon conversion.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 (See Note 6 below).  This fair value in conjunction with the fair value of the warrants issued with the new note resulted in a full discount to the note payable at the modification date.  As of December 31, 2010, the total discount of $935,000 had been amortized to interest expense.  In addition, from April 1, 2010 through the date of the debt extinguishment noted above, $180,249 of debt discount and deferred financing costs were amortized to interest expense that had been previously recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, Nacel made principal payments in shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  A total of 12,432,350 shares of common stock were issued for payment of $935,000 of principal.

Additional Convertible Notes

March 24, 2010 $300,000 Convertible Note

On March 24, 2010, Nacel entered into an agreement for a $300,000 convertible note that is secured by a $300,000 note receivable.  For more information on these notes, see Nacel’s 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, Nacel received advances of $250,000 toward the note receivable, resulting in a full balance of $300,000 owed under the convertible note.  In addition, Nacel received $40,800 in interest payments on the note receivable.   Interest payments under both agreements directly offset, and therefore the $40,800 is also included in the convertible note balance as it is also convertible.  Previously, $50,000 had been advanced as of March 31, 2010.   During the nine months ended December 31, 2010 Nacel converted $334,758 of the convertible note balance into 4,298,377 shares of Nacel common stock.  The conversion option of this note was modified on September 26, 2010 and on December 23, 2010.  See below.

On May 6, 2010, Nacel  executed and delivered, pursuant to a private placement with a single institutional investor, a $600,000 Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) in exchange for the investor’s execution and delivery of a $500,000 Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) to the Company.

The original principal amount of the Convertible Note is $600,000, and the Convertible Note provides for a 12% one-time interest charge. The Convertible Note has a maturity date of three (3) years from May 6, 2010 at which time all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full. Prepayment is not permitted unless approved by the holder in writing. However, the Convertible Note is payable on demand by the holder in an amount not to exceed the cash amount paid under the Secured Note.

The Convertible Note is convertible by the holder, at its election, at any time to the extent of funds advanced on the Secured Note. The subject conversion amount is converted into shares of Nacel’s common stock based on a conversion price of seventy percent (70%) of the lowest trade price in the 30 trading days prior to the conversion. However, the Company has the right to enforce a conversion floor of $0.65 per share. Thus, if the conversion price is less than $0.65 per share, the holder would incur a conversion loss which is satisfied by either (a) cash payment by the Company in an amount sufficient to pay the conversion loss (($0.65 per share less the conversion price) times the number of shares being converted), or (b) the Company may convert the conversion amount into shares at $0.65 per share and adding the conversion loss to the unpaid balance of the Convertible Note.

The Secured Note is for $500,000 with a 14.4% one-time interest charge. The Secured Note has a maturity date of three (3) years from May 6, 2010 at which time all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full. The Secured Note is secured by an investment asset account with a value of $500,000.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, Nacel received advances of $49,200 toward the note receivable.  The Convertible Note payable balance for this note as of December 31, 2010 in the consolidated balance sheet is $24,200,  which is the amount for which payment can be demanded or that can be converted into common stock of Nacel in accordance with the agreement.

For the period May 6, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Nacel converted $25,000 of the convertible note balance into 407,957 shares of Nacel common stock.  The conversion option of this note was modified on September 26, 2010 and on December 23, 2010.  See below.

November 23, 2010 $175,000 Convertible Note

Effective November 23, 2010, one of Nacel’s investors obtained a note in the amount of $175,000 from another lender of Nacel.  The new Note carries an interest rate of 10% and is convertible at anytime at a conversion price of $0.0526095 per share of Nacel common stock.  

For the period November 23, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Nacel converted $94,680 of the convertible note balance into 1,800,000 shares of Nacel common stock. 

The embedded conversion option is linked to an instrument that has no explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon settlement.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15.  The fair value of the embedded conversion option was determined to be $135,035 and this amount was recorded as a discount to the note.  As of December 31, 2010, $73,058 of the new discount had been amortized to interest expense due to the conversion of 1,800,000 shares of Nacel common stock.

Note Modifications

On September 26, 2010, the note holders and Nacel agreed to modify the terms of their convertible notes.  As mentioned above, the agreements have a $0.65 conversion floor with a provision for a conversion loss to be paid upon conversion equal to any difference between the floor and the calculated price in the agreement.  As of September 26, 2010, both parties agreed to remove the conversion loss provision and allow the note holders to convert principal and accrued interest at the same price that the Senior Secured Note holder converts (see above).

Nacel evaluated the modification event under ASC 470-60. Because Nacel is not experiencing financial difficulties, the transaction was not accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, Nacel evaluated these transactions under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. Because the change in fair value of the conversion option was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt, the debt modification was determined to be substantial and accordingly the debt was extinguished.  The difference in the carrying value of the original debt and its corresponding derivatives and the new debt and its corresponding derivatives was $312,231 which is recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
 
The modified embedded conversion option is linked to an instrument that has no explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon settlement.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15.  The fair value of the embedded conversion option was determined to be $284,494 on the date of extinguishment and this amount was recorded as a discount to the note.  As of December 31, 2010, $284,494 of the new discount had been amortized to interest expense due to the conversion of 4,220,235 shares as mentioned above.
 
On December 23, 2010, the terms of the $300,000 and $600,000 convertible notes reverted back to a conversion price equal to the 70% of the lowest closing stock price in the thirty days preceding the conversion.

Nacel evaluated the modification event under ASC 470-60. Because Nacel is not experiencing financial difficulties, the transaction was not accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, Nacel evaluated these transactions under ASC 470-50 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” to determine if the modification was substantial. Because the change in fair value of the conversion option was greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt, the debt modification was determined to be substantial and accordingly the debt was extinguished.  The difference in the carrying value of the original debt and its corresponding derivatives and the new debt and its corresponding derivatives was $11,034 which is recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  There was a debt discount of $29,661 remaining on the notes as of the modification date.  This amount was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

The modified embedded conversion option is linked to an instrument that has no explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon settlement.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15.  The fair value of the embedded conversion option was determined to be $36,365 on the date of extinguishment; $30,242 was recorded as a discount to the notes and $6,123 was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.  As of December 31, 2010, $0 of the new discount had been amortized to interest.

NOTE 4 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months ending December 31, 2010, 595,158 shares were issued for services performed in the prior period (included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2010) valued at $178,548.

Additionally, during the nine months ending December 31, 2010, 18,938,684 shares were issued for debt payments and conversions of $1,389,438.  (see Note 3)

NOTE 5 – WARRANTS

During the nine months ending December 31, 2010, in conjunction with the note modification above (see Note 3), Nacel issued new warrants to an investor, which are exercisable for a period of 5 years for up to 7,500,000 shares of Nacel’s commons stock, with a modified exercise price of $0.30, reduced from the initial exercise price of $0.90.  Nacel also issued additional warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.30 until November 24, 2011, being the 2nd anniversary date of the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 3).

The warrants all contain reset provisions that can cause an adjustment to the exercise price if Nacel sells or issues an equity instrument at a price lower than the initial conversion price.  Due to this provision, the warrants qualify for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 (See Note 6 below).

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Senior Secured Note - The embedded conversion option in Nacel’s $935,000 note described in Note 3 does not contain an explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon settlement.  The related warrants described in Note 5 contain a reset provision that can cause an adjustment to the conversion price if Nacel sells or issues an equity instrument at a price lower than the initial conversion price.  These provisions result in these instruments being classified as liabilities under ASC 815-15 (“Derivatives and Hedging”).  The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.
  
Additional Convertible Notes - As mentioned in Note 3, as of September 26, 2010, the modified embedded conversion option is linked to an instrument that has no explicit limit on the number of shares to be issued upon settlement.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15.

Nacel used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded conversion feature and warrants above using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the convertible note and warrant agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 173% - 315%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.12% - 2.01% and expected terms based on the contractual term.
 
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to December 31, 2010, Nacel issued 1,526,996 shares of common stock for conversion of the remaining $80,320 principal on the $175,000 Convertible Promissory Note (dated November 23, 2010) described in Note 3.

Subsequent to December 31, 2010, Nacel issued 3,768,571 shares of common stock for conversion of $124,200 of principal on the $600,000 Convertible Promissory Note (dated May 6, 2010) described in Note 3.

On January 26, 2011, Nacel executed an agreement and acquired two substantial share blocks of Crownbutte Wind Power, Inc. of Mandan, ND.  Nacel is now the largest shareholder of Crownbutte. In exchange for the Crownbutte shares, Nacel issued a total of 5,250,000 shares of common stock to two persons.

On January 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of Nacel authorized an increase in the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 50,000,000 shares up to 75,000,000 shares.

History
 
Nacel Energy Corporation is a Wyoming corporation incorporated on February 7, 2006, with our principal executive office located at 9375 E. Shea Blvd., Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260. We are a development stage wind power generation company engaged in the business of developing wind power generation facilities from “green field” (or blank state) up to and including operation. Our domestic development efforts are primarily focused upon wind power generation facilities in the 10 MW to 40 MW range. We have not ruled out the possibility of larger projects including internationally.

Current Operations

As of December 31, 2010, we had six (6) separate wind energy projects having 185 MW, or more, of total potential generating capacity located on acreage in the Panhandle area of Texas and in Arizona. The status of each of our development stage wind energy projects was described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, as filed with the Commission. We are also actively engaged in efforts to locate and evaluate other “green field” sites for development of additional wind power generation facilities. We do not have any wind energy projects in operation currently and it is estimated that it will not be until at least late December 2012, perhaps longer, before any of our projects may become operational, and will require that we obtain substantial additional financing and/or equity, obtaining of construction and project debt financing and establishing turbine supply relationships. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain any additional financing and/or equity and, even if obtained, that any of our wind power generation facilities will ultimately become operational or generate sufficient revenues to be profitable. Similarly, there are no assurances that we will be able to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships with a turbine supply company in order to able to develop any of our wind energy projects.
   
During the nine month period ending December 31, 2010, the following activities have occurred with respect to our six (6) wind power generations projects:

In April, 2010, we submitted a comprehensive bid with the assistance of a tier-one wind turbine manufacturer to Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) for the supply of 19.5 megawatts of clean, renewable energy to be sourced from our Snowflake wind project. For further information, see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 14, 2010, as amended by Form 8-K/A, each filed with the Commission.
 
In late May, 2010, we received notification from APS that our Snowflake Project was not shortlisted among the projects which would be considered in APS’s detailed evaluation process of wind projects which might thereafter result in selection for final negotiation and possible contract execution and regulatory approval.  For further information, see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 26, 2010, filed with the Commission.

In late June, 2010, we submitted a comprehensive bid with the assistance of a tier-one wind turbine manufacturer to APS for the supply of 15 megawatts of clean, renewable energy to be sourced from our Snowflake wind project with a commercial operation date of December 31, 2012. A preliminary decision is expected to be announced by APS in late August, 2010 regarding whether a bidder would be included on a short list of projects to thereafter be considered in APS’s detailed evaluation process of wind projects which might thereafter result in selection for final negotiation and possible contract execution. For further information, see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 24, 2010, filed with the Commission

 In mid September, 2010, we received notification from APS that our Snowflake Project was not shortlisted among the projects which would be considered in APS’s detailed evaluation process of wind projects which might thereafter result in selection for final negotiation and possible contract execution and regulatory approval.  For further information, see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 15, 2010, filed with the Commission

We are engaged in completing necessary procedures to allow the filing of additional applications for interconnection with other public utilities with respect to a couple of our other wind power projects.

We are continuing to monitor wind data being generated at all wind power project sites and to develop wind energy studies which may be necessary for our respect wind power projects.

In addition to the foregoing, we also assess our wind power project development business regularly with regard to the need for capital equipment. During the first Nine months of the period ending December 31, 2010, we acquired no additional capital equipment.

In addition to activities undertaken with respect to our wind power generation projects, we also entered into a letter of intent with Hurricane Screens & Security, Inc. to acquire 48% of its outstanding common stock. It was contemplated that the letter of intent would be replaced with a definitive and binding Stock Purchase Agreement which contains due diligence requirements and satisfaction of certain conditions prior to any closing. Due to continuing due diligence items, no definitive and binding Stock Purchase Agreement had been executed and entered into at December 31, 2010. For further information, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 17, 2010.

Plan of Operation

Since our inception, we have been a development stage company and, accordingly, have incurred losses from our operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred net losses of $515,668 and have an accumulated deficit since inception of $6,553,801. We currently have no revenues. The potential future revenues from our wind power generation projects, if any, will not be generated until at least December, 2012, perhaps longer, and will require the expenditure of substantial additional capital, obtaining construction and project debt financing and establishing turbine supply relationships.

For the foreseeable future, our operating plan is dependent upon both the ability to conserve existing cash resources and the ability to obtain additional capital through equity financing and/or debt financing in an effort to provide funds and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and to support wind project development activities. In the event that we are unable to conserve existing cash resources and/or obtain the additional and necessary capital to pursue our wind power generation development projects, we may have to cease or significantly curtail our operations. This could materially impact our ability to continue operations.
     
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Since our inception, we have been a development stage company and, accordingly, have incurred losses from our operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred net losses of $515,668 and have an accumulated deficit since inception of $6,553,801. We currently have no revenues. The potential future revenues from our wind power generation projects, if any, will not be generated until at least December 2012, perhaps longer, and will require the expenditure of substantial additional capital obtaining construction and project debt financing and establishing turbine supply relationships.  In addition, our shareholder line of credit in the amount of $460,753 is due and payable on April 1, 2011, unless we are able to obtain a further extension. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 
As of December 31, 2010, we had cash of $55,907 and a working capital deficit of $(1,137,518). This compares to cash of $57,763 and a working capital deficit of $(2,199,162) at March 31, 2010. Based on commitments arising from our consulting agreements and other general and administrative expenses, we anticipate that that operating expenses during each succeeding quarter will be, at a minimum, approximately $40,000. This amount does not include any capital requirements for our wind energy projects. Based on the foregoing, we will not have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations except for several months unless we are able to raise additional equity financing and/or debt financing in the immediate future. We have commenced, and will continue to pursue, efforts to raise additional equity financing and/or debt financing from a variety of sources and means. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain any additional financing and/or equity and, even if obtained, that such financing will be in a sufficient amount to be able to continue operations for a sufficient period until one or more of our wind power generation facilities become operational or until we can generate sufficient revenues to be profitable.

As of December 31, 2010, we had borrowed the entire $460,753 under an original $250,000 shareholder line of credit, which was amended in late September, 2009 to, among other things, increase the amount which could be borrowed from $250,000 up to $400,000. The credit line was further amended in late September, 2009 to increase the amount which could be borrowed up to $442,143, and was amended again in late September, 2009 when the credit line was increased up to $460,753.  The unpaid principal amount and all accrued interest are due and payable in full on April 1, 2011.  As of December 31, 2010, we had borrowed the entire $460,753 under this credit facility, which again leaves no additional amounts available for future borrowing. There are no assurances that the shareholder will agree to further extend the due date for repayment of the line of credit balance or otherwise change any of the repayment terms. Accordingly, if the repayment date of the line of credit remains unchanged, this could have a material impact on the future liquidity of the Company and its future operations.

In July 2009, Nacel executed a new loan with a lender in the amount of $250,000, which provides for simple interest of 10% to be paid in consecutive monthly installments of interest only commencing on July 1, 2009 and continuing on the first of each following month until the lender has provided the borrower with written notice of demand and the balance owing under this agreement will be paid within 15 days of any such notice of demand.  The loan is unsecured.

Effective November 23, 2010, one of Nacel’s investors obtained a note in the amount of $175,000 from the lender holding the original $250,000 loan. The $175,000 loan amount was modified to provide for conversion at anytime at the conversion price of $0.0526095 per share of Nacel common stock. As of December 31, 2010, Nacel had converted $94,680 of the convertible loan balance into 1,800,000 shares of its common stock. The loan is included in note payable and convertible notes in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

Recent Financings

As of the fiscal year ended at March 31, 2010, we completed various financings. For further description and details of these financings, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 31, 2010, as filed on July 14, 2010 with the SEC.

During the nine months ending December 31, 2010, we did not enter into any additional financings except for the $600,000 Convertible Note and the $500,000 Secured Note as more fully described in Note 3 above to the consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ending December 31, 2010.  However, we did modify and amend an existing, principal financing as further described below.
   
Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrants.   On April 23, 2010, we entered into an Exchange Agreement which effectively amended and modified the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $900,000 (the “Note”) issued to a single institutional investor (the “Investor”) and common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) issued to the Investor. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Note was exchanged for a new Note and the Warrants were exchanged for New Warrants containing various changes and modifications in their respective terms and provisions.

The principal amount of the New Note is $935,000 (the “2010 Convertible Note”) consisting to the original principal amount of $900,000 plus an additional $35,000 in costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) which we were obligated to reimburse under the original transaction documents and the negotiation and preparation of the Exchange Agreement and Exchange Documents (as defined in the Exchange Agreement).  The 2010 Convertible Note provides for payment in seven equal installments of $133,571 beginning 21 trading days after the earlier of (a) May 24, 2010, or (b) the date a registration statement covering the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of the 2010 Convertible Note and New Warrants is declared effective by the SEC. Accordingly, the maturity date of the 2010 Convertible Note will be no later than December 23, 2010, at which time the note was paid in full.  No interest accrues on the principal amount outstanding unless an event of default occurs in which event interest shall thereafter accrue at the rate of eighteen percent per annum. We may pay installments of principal in cash or, at our option, in shares of common stock.  If we elect to pay the principal in shares of our common stock, the value of each share of common stock will be equal to the lower of (a) the new conversion price of $0.30 per share, or (b) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average prices of our common stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable payment date. In addition, at the option of the holder of the 2010 Convertible Note, all or any part of the principal amount outstanding under the 2010 Convertible Note is convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of our common stock at the new conversion price of $0.30 per share. However, the conversion price may be reduced if we issue securities at a price per share less than the conversion price of the 2010 Convertible Note then in effect.

The 2010 Convertible Note and the New Warrants have conversion features which result in them being recorded as derivative liabilities as described further in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended at March 31, 2010. As derivative liabilities, the existing uncertainties as to the ultimate amount of shares which could be required to issue are not known and may increase significantly. Accordingly, these uncertainties are reflected as obligations until they are resolved through conversion, exercise or expiration

For further description of the Exchange Agreement, the documents executed and delivered and other pertinent terms and provisions, see our Form 8-K dated April 23, 2010, as filed with the SEC on April 27, 2010.

On July 27, 2010, we entered into a definitive Exchange Agreement (the “Second Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which the 2010 Convertible Note was exchanged for a new Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “New Note”) whereby the only changes were to increase to 9.9% the beneficial ownership limitation of our shares which can be owned by the investor and further acknowledged and agreed that the current unpaid principal balance due on the New Note is $267,143, that the dates on which Installment Amounts are due are October 23, 2010 and November 23, 2010 and that the Maturity Date of the New Note is December 23, 2010.

Except as noted above, all of the other terms and provisions of the New Note remain the same as set forth in the 2010 Convertible Note. In addition, there were no changes or modifications made to any of the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants.

For further description of the Second Exchange Agreement, the documents executed and delivered and other pertinent terms and provisions , see our Form 8-K dated July 27, 2010, as filed with the SEC on July 30, 2010.
      
Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 compared to the Three Months Ended December  31, 2009

Overview. We have yet to generate any revenues from our operations. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Period”) was $243,064 compared to a net loss of $1,748,996 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Period”), a decrease of $1,505,932.

Revenues. We generated no revenues from our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 or for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our operations have focused upon various business planning and wind power project development activities since inception, and have not generated any revenues.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purpose of insuring that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In the course of this evaluation, our management considered the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

We have identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

Errors in Recording Transaction Payments

Management determined that material errors occurred in the recording of a payment under secured and collateralized notes issued to the Company.  The consolidated financial statements in this report have been adjusted to include necessary changes related to the subject payment. Management is working on plans to improve the processes that govern the recording of these payments and other related transactions. We believe these plans, when finalized, will enable us to avoid these types of errors in the future.

Lack of Independent Board of Directors and Audit Committee

Management is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been established.  Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the limited number of transactions, management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not sufficient to justify the creation of such a committee at this time.  Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.
   
Lack of Segregation of Duties

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases.  Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financing reporting on an ongoing basis. We are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary, and as funds allow.
   
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
