Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
   
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the “SEC” and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2010 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (formerly known as Superior Silver Mines, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Idaho on January 22, 1962 as Superior Mines Company and then changed its name to Superior Silver Mines, Inc.  The Company reincorporated as a Nevada corporation on December 27, 2010.  The Company has been dormant for a number of years, and has no known mineral reserves.
 
On December 29, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 29, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company consummated a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Clean Wind Energy, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 26, 2010 (“Clean Wind Energy”).  In connection with the Merger, the Company issued to the stockholders of Clean Wind Energy in exchange for their Clean Wind Energy Common Stock, the right to receive an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger”, since the stockholders of Clean Wind Energy owned a majority of the Company’s common stock immediately following the transaction and their management has assumed operational, management and governance control.
 
For accounting purposes, Clean Wind Energy was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Clean Wind Energy pursuant to which Clean Wind Energy was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition.  The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction.  Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Clean Wind Energy immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.
 
The Company plans to design, develop, and construct large downdraft towers that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically (“Downdraft Towers”) by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to be prepared to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity
 
On January 21, 2011, the Company changed its name to Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.  In addition, effective January 24, 2011, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from “SSVM” to “CWET”.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported a net loss from continuing operations of $(480,749) for the three months period ended March 31, 2011, accumulated deficit of $(1,318,906) and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $(539,884) as of March 31, 2011.

The Company is in a development stage and does not have any revenues from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.
 
Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to our current business model.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has generated no revenues to date. It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product was not delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company account for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock using the stock price on date of the approval of the award. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the performance period and the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
  
Stock-based compensation expense in connection with stock granted to consultants in exchange for services for the three months ended March 31, 2011was $10,000.

NOTE B –  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
  
NOTE C – ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDERS/OFFICERS

During the periods of November and December, 2010 through the period ended March 31, 2011, Ronald W. Pickett, a director and executive officer of the Company, gave advances to Clean Wind Energy and at March 31, 2011 the balance outstanding is $22,000. These amounts are interest free advances. The details are as follow;

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2011, the Company did not have any preferred stock issued and outstanding. The Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share.

These shares were valued at $27,000, which approximated the fair value of the shares when they were issued. The Company issued 300,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of its Subsidiary, Clean Wind Energy pursuant to the Merger on December 29, 2010, in exchange for their Clean Wind Energy Common Stock. These issuances of shares were made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
On December 29, 2010, the Company agreed to issue to Source Capital 6,000,000 shares for providing financial advisory services to Clean Wind Energy in connection with the Merger. These shares have not been issued as of March 31, 2011 and the shares to be issued were made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed on April 12, 2011.

Business

Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (the “Company”(formerly known as Superior Silver Mines, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Idaho on January 22, 1962 as Superior Mines Company and then changed its name to Superior Silver Mines, Inc.  The Company reincorporated as a Nevada corporation on December 27, 2010.  The Company has been dormant for a number of years, and has no known mineral reserves.
 
On December 29, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 29, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company consummated a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Clean Wind Energy, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 26, 2010 (“Clean Wind Energy”).  In connection with the Merger, the Company issued to the stockholders of Clean Wind Energy in exchange for their Clean Wind Energy Common Stock, the right to receive an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger”, since the stockholders of Clean Wind Energy owned a majority of the Company’s common stock immediately following the transaction and their management has assumed operational, management and governance control.
 
For accounting purposes, Clean Wind Energy was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Clean Wind Energy pursuant to which Clean Wind Energy was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition.  The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction.  Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Clean Wind Energy immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.
 
The Company plans to design, develop, and construct large downdraft towers that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically (“Downdraft Towers”) by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to be prepared to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity
 
On January 21, 2011, the Company changed its name to Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.  In addition, effective January 24, 2011, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from “SSVM” to” CWET”.
 
Until the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s purpose was to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warranted, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who, or which, desire to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly registered corporation.  Because the Company had no operations and only nominal assets until the Merger, it was considered a shell company under rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company did not have any revenue during the period ended March 31, 2011.
    
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.

Research and Development

Our research and development costs for the quarter ended was $111,148, are associated with the continued development of its technology of designing and construct “Downdraft Towers”, these costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company anticipates modest growth of research and development costs in 2011.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private offerings of our equity securities.

Working Capital

Our working capital deficit increased by ( $343,058) during the three months ended March 31, 2011 from a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $196,826 at December 31, 2010 to a working capital deficit of $539,884 at March 31, 2011. The increase in working capital deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is due to a combination of reasons, of which the significant factors include:

 
Cash had a net decrease from working capital by $146,531 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The most significant uses and proceeds of cash were:

 
o
Approximately $264,156 of cash consumed in continuing operating activities;

 
o
A repayment of $25,000 for advances from shareholder/director;
     
 
o
Proceeds of $120,000 from issuance of Private Placement Memorandum Subscription for Common stock

Of the total current assets of $61,153 as of March 31, 2011, cash represented $48,653. Of the total current assets of $224,481 as of December 31, 2010, cash represented $195,184.

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company received $120,000 from the issuance of Private Placement Memorandum Subscriptions for the sale of its common stock.

Cashflow analysis

Cash used in continuing operations was $264,156 during the period ended March 31, 2011. During the period ended March 31, 2011, our primary capital needs were for operating expenses, including funds to support our business strategy, which primarily includes working capital necessary to fund operations and reducing our trade payables.

We utilized cash for investing activities from continuing operations of $2,375 for equipment purchase for research and development.

Cash provided from financing activities was $120,000 from private placement subscription of the Company common stock during the period ended March 31, 2011. The company made $25,000 repayments on advance from shareholders/director.
   
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported a net loss from continuing operations of $(480,749) for the three months period ended March 31, 2011, accumulated deficit of $(1,318,906) and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $(539,884) as of March 31, 2011.

The Company is in a development stage and does not have any revenues from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Management expects that global economic conditions will continue to present a challenging operating environment through 2011. To the extent permitted by working capital resources, management intends to continue making targeted investments in strategic operating and growth initiatives. Working capital management will continue to be a high priority for 2011.

While we have been able to manage our working capital needs with the current credit facilities, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow requirements from operations. We cannot predict whether this new financing will be in the form of equity or debt. We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.

Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  
Off-Balance sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

Acquisition or Disposition of Property and Equipment

During the three months ended March 1, 2011, there were $2,375 of expenditures on fixed assets. The Company does not anticipate the sale or purchase of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the Company’s day-to-day operations.

The Company leases approximately 100 square feet of office space at 1997 Annapolis Exchange Parkway, Suite 300, Annapolis, Maryland 21401 pursuant to a lease that expires October 31, 2011 and leases approximately 8,435 square feet of commercial space in Warrenton, Virginia pursuant to a lease that expires November 30, 2013.
 
The Company maintains one unpatented lode mining claim, #IMC39643, claim name-Abbatoir, which is leased to U.S. Silver Corporation.
 
Number of Employees

As of April 10, 2011, the Company had 7 full time employees.

Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

The Company does not have any significant contractual obligations which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Material Risk


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was the result of having a limited number of employees and not having proper segregation of duties based on the cost benefit of hiring additional employees solely to address the segregation of duties issue. We compensate for the lack of segregation of duties by employing close involvement of management in day-to-day operations.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
  
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider all of these risks.

The Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Since inception through March 31, 2011, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $(1,318,906) and has never generated enough funds through operations to support its business. The Company has a limited operating history and has primarily engaged in operations relating to the development of its business plan.  Additional capital may be required in order to provide working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

In their report dated April 12, 2011, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern, and that they have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are based on our net losses and deficits in cash flows. We continue to experience net operating losses since the Company is still in a development stage. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible. Our continued net operating losses and our auditors’ doubts increase the difficulty of our meeting such goals. If we are not successful in raising sufficient additional capital, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our stockholders may lose their entire investment.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to consultants for services performed and services accrued in fiscal year 2010. These shares were valued at $27,000, which approximated the fair value of the shares when they were issued. The Company issued 300,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of its Subsidiary, Clean Wind Energy pursuant to the Merger on December 29, 2010, in exchange for their Clean Wind Energy Common Stock. These issuances of shares were made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
On December 29, 2010, the Company consummated the Merger pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Source Capital 6,000,000 shares for providing financial advisory services to Clean Wind Energy in the transaction. As of the date hereof, the shares have not been issued.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. (Removed and Reserved)
