Overall Performance

Corporate Summary

The Company owns two wind energy electrical generation facilities and is developing wind energy projects in California and Arizona. The Windridge generating facility in Tehachapi, California has a 4.5 MW rated capacity and the Mesa Wind Power generating facility near Palm Springs, California has a 29.9 MW rated capacity. In California and Arizona, the Company has purchased or leased land to build wind farms on and is continuing to carry out meteorological, environmental, geotechnical, permitting and zoning work to further the development of these properties into wind farms.

The Company is headquartered in Coquitlam, BC and has branch offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and Bakersfield, California. It is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "WND", and the OTC Bulletin Board trading on the Pink Sheets market under the symbol "WNDEF".

The Company has assembled a management team that is experienced in various aspects of the wind energy business, including but not limited to site evaluation, energy analysis, site acquisition, transmission, permitting and zoning, turbine selection, construction, environmental, operations and sales and marketing.

The Company operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries that are responsible for the management of wind farms and the development of new energy projects. Aero Energy LLC ("Aero") is responsible for the development of the Windstar 120 MW Project and Windridge 9MW Redevelopment Project as well as the operation of the existing 4.5 MW Windridge wind farm. Verde Resources Corporation ("Verde") is responsible for the development of Arizona and California wind projects (excluding the Windstar 120 MW and Windridge 9 MW Redevelopment Projects) and the Mesa Wind 50 MW Redevelopment Project, as well as the operation of the existing 29.9 MW Mesa Wind Farm. Verde owns the Mesa Wind Farm through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mesa Wind Power Corporation ("Mesa Wind").

The Company employs five full time consultants and three part-time consultants to develop new wind farms and manage the Company. The Mesa Wind Farm and the Windridge Wind Farm are managed by Airstreams Maintenance Corp. that employs eight full time employees who operate and maintain the wind farms.

Operations

California-Windstar 120 MW

The Company owns 1,292 acres of land in the Tehachapi Pass Wind Park and has a transaction in escrow for the purchase of a further 77 acres of land in Tehachapi. Subsequent to the 2007 year end, the Company purchased 20 acres of land for $80,257 (US$75,000).

Parcels in excess of 40 acres are zoned for wind farm development and the smaller properties are being rezoned. Five meteorological towers have been erected to provide data for wind assessment reports to forecast electricity production and to site the turbine wind turbines to optimize electricity production.

The Tehachapi Pass Wind Park is one of the largest wind parks in the world with over 5,000 wind turbines generating over 705 megawatts of name plated capacity and producing over 1.4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

The Company is continuing to purchase property in Tehachapi since it is one of the most favorable regions to develop wind energy. California's electricity rates are among the highest in the United States and the State of California has mandated electrical utilities to supply 20% of their total retail electrical sales from renewable resources by 2010. The renewable portfolio standard will require 8,000 MW of new wind generation of which approximately 4,000 MW is expected to be developed in Tehachapi.

In Tehachapi, the mean-average annual wind speeds and frequency distributions are well documented due to the long history of wind energy in the area. Capacity factors in Tehachapi are in excess of 40% using modern wind turbines.

On March 8, 2005, the Company negotiated a power purchase agreement with Southern California Edison to supply the output from a 120 MW facility no later than December 31, 2008. The contract is subject to the Company acquiring turbines at prices less than $850 per kW and may be amended if turbine prices exceed that amount.

On April 9, 2006, a US$1 million letter of credit was issued to Southern California Edison to secure our performance pursuant to the Power Purchase Agreement.

On February 16, 2006, the Company made an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") to require Sagebrush Partnership to provide transmission access to the Company for 50 MW to 120 MW of firm capacity. The Federal Power Act requires that transmission qualifying facilities provide access to public utilities and small independent power generators at costs that the qualifying facilities charge themselves for transmission. On April 28, 2006, FERC granted an order requiring Sagebrush Partnership to enter into an interconnection agreement with the Company subject to the negotiation of commercial terms. The Company received a final order on March 15, 2007 from the FERC confirming that the system impact study concludes that there is sufficient firm transmission capacity to satisfy our requirements and requiring Sagebrush Partnership to provide us access to the transmission line after a 33 MW allocation to one of the Sagebrush Partners. The order requires that the wind farm have Qualifying Facility status pursuant to Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and that the parties submit within 30 days the interconnection and transmission agreement. On May 16, 2007, FERC granted to one of the Sagebrush Partners, the right to appeal the FERC decision.

If the Company is unable to obtain access to the Sagebrush Transmission Line, the Company is listed on Southern California Edison's queue for its new transmission line that is expected to be completed by 2010.

The Company incurs property taxes, liability insurance costs and mortgage interest of approximately US$70,000 per year plus incremental costs related to zoning and permitting, geotechnical, engineering and interconnection studies and legal fees related to transmission, power purchase and regulatory matters. The Company has capitalized $286,213 in construction-in-progress at July 31, 2007.

The completion of the project is dependent upon the Company's ability to enter into a transmission agreement with Sagebrush Partnership, to obtain the necessary permitting and zoning, to complete satisfactory wind, environmental and geotechnical assessments, to purchase and arrange delivery of wind turbines to meet completion deadlines, to renegotiate the electricity price in the power purchase contract with Southern California Edison, to obtain development and construction approvals and to raise sufficient debt and equity capital to finance the construction of the project.

California-Windridge

On February 17, 2006, the Company completed the purchase of the Windridge assets that consisted of 192 acres of land in Tehachapi, 43 Windmatic turbines, a substation, and collection system and an assignment of a Power Purchase Agreement with Southern California Edison expiring on December 7, 2014 to deliver the output from 4.5 MW of capacity. The purchase price for the land, generating facilities and power purchase agreement was $879,203 (US$825,000) payable by $586,135 (US$550,000) on closing and a convertible secured note for $317,378 (US$293,068) with interest at 8% per year, due on February 17, 2008. The loan is convertible into common shares at a price of US$1.40 per share and is redeemable by the Company on thirty days notice. In addition, the Company capitalized $98,097 (US$84,999) in environment, surveying and legal fees incurred in connection with the purchase.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:


Land
$568,509

Generating facilities
447,098

Power purchase agreement
34,623


$1,050,230




The facility is operating below its rated capacity and management estimates that the wind farm will generate $96,696 (US$85,000) per year in revenues. From February 18, 2006 to January 31, 2007, the Windridge facility generated 1,447,778 kWh of electricity production and $95,032 (US$85,537) in revenues. Plant operating costs including operations and maintenance, electricity charges and property taxes amounted to $26,229 (US$23,056). Annual interest costs on the US$275,000 mortgage are $23,445 (US$22,000) per year.

For the six months ended July 31, 2007, the facility generated $86,834 (US$76,953) in revenues. Plant operating costs amounted to $5,664 (US$5,019).

Management believes that the Windridge property can be redeveloped into a 9 MW generating facility. Southern California Edison has advised the Company to redevelop the existing transmission capacity of 4.5 MW and to add a further 4.5 MW of generation if transmission capacity is available. The Windridge 9 MW Redevelopment Project is at the early stage.

Mesa Wind Farm

On July 25, 2006, the Company acquired PAMC Management Corporation ("PAMC") for $15,294,760 (US$13,400,000) and changed its name to Mesa Wind. In addition, the Company incurred $240,899 (US$211,056) in costs related to the transaction. PAMC's primary asset is the Mesa Wind Farm located in the San Gorgonio Pass near Palm Springs, California. The assets included a right-of-way with the Bureau of Land Management, a power purchase agreement with the Southern California Edison Company, 460 wind turbines, collection system, substation, roads and a maintenance building. Since the Company acquired shares and the cost base for tax purposes is less than the fair value of the purchased assets, the Company recorded a future income tax liability of 5,945,238(US$5,051,179). At the acquisition date, the Company assumed an asset retirement obligation of $953,704 (US$875,106).

The Company allocated the purchase price at the date of acquisition as follows:


Generating facilities
$17,700,299

Land right of way
420,980

Goodwill
4,217,431

Power purchase agreement
34,242


22,372,952

Less:


Future income tax liability
(4,217,431)

Asset retirement obligation
(924,858)


15,534,623

Cash

$15,535,659




The wind farm is situated on 440 acres of land in the San Gorgonio Pass, 16 miles from Palm Springs, California. The Company has a right-of-way from the Bureau of Land Management for the exclusive use of the land for wind energy development. The right-of-way expires on January 26, 2013 and grants the leaseholder the right to enter into a new 30 year right-of-way if the agreement is not in default. The right-of-way grant provides for annual payments of US$78,478 per year.

The Power Purchase and Interconnection Agreement expire on June 10, 2010. It provides for the sale of electricity on an "as available electricity" basis at Southern California Edison's short-run avoided cost. The electricity production over the last five years has been in the area of 65 million kWh's per year.

The wind farm was constructed in 1984 and includes 460 Vestas V15 turbines. The Company entered into an agreement with Airstreams Maintenance Corporation ("AMC") to provide operations and maintenance services for the wind farm. AMC has extensive experience in operating and maintaining wind farms and overhauling wind turbines. The Company invested approximately US$500,000 in deferred maintenance in addition to normal operating costs of US$90,000 per month. The Company expects the major repairs to be less in the future since a preventative maintenance program has been implemented and deferred maintenance from prior years has been completed.

From July 25, 2006 to January 31, 2007, the Mesa Wind Farm generated 212,153,872 kWh of electricity and revenues of $1,499,408 (US$1,318,045). During this period, the Company incurred $1,038,267 (US$912,682) in plant operating expenses including the deferred maintenance costs described above.

For the six months ended July 31, 2007, the facility generated $4,081,341 (US$3,616,927) in revenues. Plant operating costs for the same period amounted to $1,988,720 (US$1,762,425).

The purchase was financed by a loan from Pacific Hydro of $14,280,380 (US$13,400,000). The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 6%. The loan is the subject of a lawsuit with Pacific Hydro which is described under Legal Proceedings. Interest on the Mesa Acquisition Loan amounted $764,912 (US$674,764) from July 25, 2006 to January 31, 2007 and $855,823 (US$803,062) for the six months ended July 31, 2007.

The Company has completed the environmental and archeological assessments that are required for a new right-of-way, has been short listed on the 2007 RFP for the sale of electricity to Southern California Edison and has engaged Windots, Inc. to complete a wind assessment study and to advise on the siting of the wind turbines. The Company capitalized $87,169 (UA$81,795) in construction-in-progress costs related to these activities. In addition, the Company has provided a letter of credit to secure its performance pursuant to a Request for Proposals with Southern California Edison.

Steel Park 15 MW Project

The Company entered into a power purchase agreement with Arizona Public Service ("APS") on May 4, 2005. On April 28, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Pacific Hydro to develop the Steel Park 15 MW facility through Steel Park, LLC, a limited liability company owned 51% by Pacific Hydro and 49% by Western Wind. The facility was scheduled to be completed on March 31, 2007, but the project was terminated by Pacific Hydro in September 2006 and, as a result of Pacific Hydro's actions, the project was not completed by March 31, 2007. APS terminated the power purchase agreement on April 7, 2007. As a result, the Company has incurred losses, including the write off of costs, totaling $5,013,861 related to Steel Park, LLC and the development of the Steel Park 15 MW Project during the year ended January 31, 2007 and six months ended July 31, 2007...

The Company entered into a Turbine Supply Agreement with Mitsubishi Power Systems Inc. ("Mitsubishi") for the purchase of 15-1MW turbines. The contract required reservation payments of US$3.3 million that were made by the Company from the date that the Term Sheet was agreed upon to April 28, 2006. At April 28, 2006, the Turbine Supply Agreements and other collateral agreements with Mitsubishi were assigned to Steel Park LLC. At that date, Steel Park, LLC issued the Notice to Proceed to Mitsubishi and a letter of credit was provided by Pacific Hydro to secure the balance of the purchase price. The turbines were delivered in October 2006. Pacific Hydro secured its letter of credit by a first charge on the wind turbines and on Western Wind's capital account in Steel Park, LLC.

The Company completed the purchase of 1,128 acres of land near Kingman, Arizona for US$1,641,130. The purchase price was paid by purchase deposits of US$210,000, cash on closing of US$606,130 and a vendor mortgage of US$825,000 payable on June 7, 2007 with interest at 7% per year. On June 6, 2007, the Company borrowed US$412,500 from a significant shareholder and used the funds to make a principal payment of US$412,500. At that date, the vendors agreed to extend the term of the mortgage to December 7, 2007. The Company paid a renegotiation fee of US$21,000 to complete the transaction.

On November 30, 2006, the Company borrowed $630,000 from the spouse of an officer and director to complete the purchase of the property. The terms of the loan provide for interest to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus 5.98%, the right to demand payment prior to maturity and a maturity of two years. In addition, the spouse of the officer and director received a bonus of 146,500 shares at a deemed price of $0.86 per common share.

The US$412,500 loan from the significant shareholder bears interest at 12% per year and 18% per year in the event of default. The loan is due on July 1, 2009 and is secured by a second charge on the property.

Arizona-Steel Park Expansion

The Company has entered into a right-of-way for the use of 22,227contiguous acres of land, adjacent the Steel Park property, by the Bureau of Land Management, with a view of constructing a wind farm with up to 250 MW of generating capacity. The Company intends on completing a preliminary environmental assessment so that meteorological towers can be installed on the property and completing other due diligence activities to finalize development plans. The right-of-way is for three years and the fee is $22,227 per year. At the end of the term, the Company has the right to enter into a new right-of-way for 30 years.

California-New Projects

The Company entered into an agreement to acquire wind data for sites within California that may be developed into wind farms. The agreement provides for the payment of a fee of $1,000 per MW payable on completion of the project. These projects are at an early stage and the Company is carrying out preliminary due diligence to determine the feasibility of these sites for wind energy development.

Other Real Estate

The Company owns 800 acres by way of clear title in Arizona that the Company plans to sell or develop for commercial real estate purposes. It is recorded at a cost of $341,723.

Grand Manan 20 MW Project

The Company operated in New Brunswick through Eastern Wind. The development of the wind farm in New Brunswick commenced in the 2003 fiscal year, when Eastern Wind entered into a lease for 4,500 acres on Grand Manan Island on the coast of New Brunswick. The permitting and zoning of the property, environmental, geotechnical and wind studies were completed and only turbine selection and equity financing was required to commence construction of the wind farm.

The Company entered into a power purchase agreement with New Brunswick Power that required the 20 MW facility to be completed by October 31, 2006. In November 2006, New Brunswick Power terminated the power purchase agreement for breach of contract. As a result, New Brunswick Power called the $200,000 letter of credit and the Company has recorded a $200,000 liability to an unrelated party who provided security for the letter of credit.

During the year ended January 31, 2007 and six months ended July 31, 2007, the Company incurred costs and wrote off its investment in construction-in-progress costs and property and equipment totaling $1,149,339 for the year ended January 31, 2007 and $26,026 for the six months ended July 31, 2007 as a loss from discontinued operations.

On July 5, 2007, the Company entered into a letter of intent with UPC Wind Canada Inc. to sell certain assets for $250,000 payable by way of a non-refundable deposit of $75,000, paid on signing of the letter of intent, $75,000 on the completion of due diligence, one-third of the balance on the completion of the purchase agreement and the balance on closing. The initial deposit was received prior to July 31, 2007 and $75,000 was paid upon the completion of due diligence subsequent to July 31, 2007.

Legal Proceedings

Mesa Acquisition Loan

On November 6, 2006, Pacific Hydro commenced a legal action to require the transfer of Mesa Wind to Pacific Hydro. The Company has filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. Pacific Hydro provided a US$13.4 million loan that was used to acquire the common shares of PAMC Management Corporation that owned the Mesa Wind Farm.

The Company counterclaimed that Pacific Hydro has obstructed the Company from obtaining financing and prevented the loan from being repaid. The Company is demanding the right to repay the loan 180 days after the litigation with Pacific Hydro is settled and that Pacific Hydro be restrained from taking any action to realize upon its security until a final determination has been made by the Court. Management believes that the outcome of this lawsuit is indeterminable at this time.

Exclusivity Deed

The Exclusivity Deed was entered into on October 20, 2006 with Pacific Hydro in conjunction with their purchase of 666,666 units at $1.50 and their due diligence for a further investment. The Exclusivity Deed provided that the Company would not entertain financing from other parties until Pacific Hydro had completed its due diligence and decided whether or not it would make a further investment in the Company or until 45 days after a Turbine Supply Agreement was completed for the Grand Manan 20MW Project. In addition, the Exclusivity Deed described procedures for Pacific Hydro to make a further investment and for approval for the further investment by the TSX Venture Exchange and the Company's shareholders. The size of the further investment by Pacific Hydro was large enough that it would make Pacific Hydro a "control person" and the TSX approved the transaction on the basis that Pacific Hydro agreed to restrict their voting rights to 19.9% until the shareholders approved them as a control person. The Exclusivity Deed provided for Pacific Hydro to have a put option with respect to the future private placement, if Pacific Hydro was not approved by the shareholders as a control person at the Annual General Meeting.

Pacific Hydro entered into a subscription agreement with the Company on January 27, 2006. The subscription agreement did not provide for a put option and contained Pacific Hydro's acknowledgement that there were no other written or oral agreements with respect to the private placement.

At the Annual General Meeting, the disinterested shareholders did not pass the control person resolution and Pacific Hydro remained restricted to voting 19.9% of their shares. On October 31, 2006, Pacific Hydro tendered their shares to the Company. At that time, Pacific Hydro issued a press release that advised its intent to sell 4,333,333 shares.

On November 10, 2006, Pacific Hydro filed a Statement of Claim to require the Company to repurchase 4,333,333 units at a price of $1.50 per unit. The Company filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim.

The Company contends that the investment was made pursuant to the subscription agreement, in which Pacific Hydro acknowledged that there was no other written or oral agreement between the parties. The subscription agreement does not refer to any right that would require the Company to repurchase shares other than standard rescission provisions.

Management believes that the allegations made by Pacific Hydro in their Statement of Claim are without merit.

Alliance Agreement

On December 19, 2006, Pacific Hydro filed a Statement of Claim in Australia related to the interpretation of the Alliance Agreement. Pacific Hydro alleges that the Alliance Agreement prevents the Company from selling, leasing, developing or using the real estate owned by the Company without the participation of Pacific Hydro.

Management believes that there are no terms in the Alliance Agreement that would prevent the Company from selling or leasing the property to a third party or from obtaining financing using the property as security.

The Company filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim with respect to this action. The Australian Courts have agreed that the Company has the right to use the Tehachapi land as security for a loan. The Company offered Pacific Hydro the opportunity to participate in the development of the Windstar 120 MW Project and Pacific Hydro has accepted. There is a continuing dispute over the interpretation of the Alliance Agreement.

The Company believes that the Alliance Agreement requires the negotiation of a definitive joint venture agreement for each project and that each definitive joint venture agreement is subject to the approval of both parties. Pacific Hydro believes that they have a unilateral right to require the Company to enter into a joint venture agreement based on Pacific Hydro's interpretation of the Alliance Agreement. The Company further believes that a Special General Meeting of the Shareholders is required to approve any agreement with Pacific Hydro since they are a "control person". Management believes that the outcome of this lawsuit is indeterminable at this time.

Settlement Negotiations with Pacific Hydro

On June 8, 2007 the Company entered into negotiations to settle all outstanding issues between the parties and to provide for the cessation of all legal proceedings between the parties. Although the basic financial terms have been agreed to by both parties, settlement is subject to a definitive agreement. There can be no guarantee that a settlement will be reached between the Company and Pacific Hydro or that the final terms of the settlement will be favourable to the Company. Management believes that the Settlement Agreement will be completed prior to the end of September 2007.

Other Legal Proceedings

Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis, former directors and officers of Eastern Wind Power, are suing the Company for failure to issue certain bonus shares and incentive stock options. The Company has sued Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis for breach of fiduciary duties and negligence with respect to their duties as officers and directors of Eastern Wind. Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis are suing the Company and its chief executive officer for comments that they allege were made by the Company's chief executive officer on an Internet chat room. The Company has entered into a settlement agreement with Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis that requires the Company to pay $100,000 to the plaintiffs and provides for the termination of all litigation between the parties. The Company has provided for the settlement in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended July 31, 2007.

Tom Vihveln, a former director and officer of Eastern Wind, is suing Eastern Wind for the right to exercise incentive stock options to acquire 50,000 common shares of Western Wind at an exercise price of $0.80 per share and $6,000 for services rendered. The Company has filed a counterclaim for breach of fiduciary duties. Management believes that the lawsuit is without merit.

Michael Wystrach filed statements of claim in Pima County, Arizona and Vancouver, British Columbia seeking compensation for services rendered. The lawsuit was dismissed in Pima County and proceedings to re-instate the lawsuit were also dismissed. The Plaintiff appealed the decision to the Federal Court and a hearing is scheduled to be held in September 2007. On November 6, 2006, the plaintiff commenced a lawsuit in British Columbia on essentially the same basis as the action that was dismissed in Pima County, Arizona. Management believes that the lawsuits are without merit.

On July 9, 2007, Michael and Grace Wystrach filed a Statement of Claim with respect to the prepayment of a lease in Elgin, Arizona for $351,000. In the Statement of Claim, the plaintiffs claim that they were not paid the lease fee; and alternatively, if the plaintiffs were paid, the funds were unlawfully misappropriated by the chief executive officer. The Company will file a Statement of Defense. Management believes that the claims are without merit.

Development Strategy

General

The Company acquires and develops sites or existing wind farms based on the following criteria:


Availability and access to transmission


Superior wind resources to justify a commercial wind energy facility


Permitting and zoning policies that allow wind farm development


Satisfactory environmental and archeological studies


Satisfactory terrain and geographic features that do not impede development


Regional support of renewable energy


Local political support for wind power development


Adequate incentives at the federal and state levels


High electricity prices


Growing demand for electricity

Development activities are carried out by the Company's internal consultants as well as third party consultants who are experienced in assessing wind resources and completing the necessary development programs to build a wind farm.

The Company has decided to focus its efforts on developing its properties in California and Arizona since these States have renewal portfolio standards and relatively high energy prices.

Revenue Strategies

Revenue sources for wind farms situated in the US come from the sale of electricity, sale of green credits and the Federal Production Tax Credit. Electricity prices vary due to the demand for electricity, competing electricity sources and the support for renewable energy. Green credits are a developing market that is expected to evolve into a significant source of revenue. Federal Production Tax Credits are a federal tax credit of $0.02 per kWh plus inflation adjustments for ten years. The Federal Projection Tax Credits are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2008. Management believes that the Federal Tax Credit will be extended or that a green credit program will be established to provide renewable energy developers a similar benefit.

It is now common practice that power purchase agreements with utilities will include the purchase of green credits with the energy sales ("bundled energy").

The Company will continue to focus on markets that will provide the highest potential returns.

Financing Strategies

The Company plans to raise capital through institutional sources experienced in power project financing to finance the construction and operation of wind energy facilities. These financial sources are familiar with the operation of electrical generating facilities and their potential operating and construction risks. The amount of project debt that is available depends upon the projected cash flow, the existence of a long term power purchase contract with credit-worthy utilities, the wind assessment report, the identity of the turbine supplier and the general contractor and the interest rates existing when funds are drawn down.

In the US, power project financings generally use a limited liability corporation to secure tax equity financing and to monetize any tax benefits that cannot be used by the Company or its subsidiaries. The value of the tax losses resulting from accelerated depreciation and the production tax credits is a significant part of the cost of a wind farm project.

The Company plans to raise equity to finance the development of projects with a view of using a structure outlined above that would provide a reasonable return on equity on completion of the project and the highest leverage from project debt and tax equity investors.

Project and Contractual Obligations

The Company is affected by local, county, state or provincial and federal legislation concerning environmental, zoning, permitting and operating laws and regulations in the jurisdiction that the Company operates. The Company is in compliance with all laws and regulations, except for its requirement to file its annual audited statements and MD&A for the year ended January 31, 2007 with the BC Securities Commission and failure to file its 2007 Form 20F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company was late in filing its 2006 Form 20-F and the failure to file on a timely basis has resulted in the shares not being eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The shares are currently trading on the Pink Sheets. The Company intends on reapplying for a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board.

On June 8, 2007 the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a temporary Management Cease Trade Order prohibiting our directors, officers and insiders from trading in the securities of our Company because of our failure to file, within the prescribed period of time, our audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended January 31, 2007 and the unaudited financial statements and MD&A for the three months ended April 30, 2007. This restriction will remain in place until our regulatory filings are brought up to date.

Windstar 120 MW Project

The Company's contract with Southern California Edison requires that the facility be completed by December 31, 2007 with an extension to December 31, 2008. The agreement can be cancelled if turbine prices increase above specified levels. The Company has posted a $1 million letter of credit that can be drawn on by Southern California Edison if the facility is not completed by December 31, 2008. The Company, however, has an option to extend the terms of the letter of credit without incurring any liability. The letter of credit is subject to the same cancellation privileges as contained in the power purchase agreement. The Company will be negotiating amendments to the power purchase agreement to reflect the higher cost of wind turbines and existing wholesale electricity rates. The Company is not currently aware of any other risks associated with the contract with Southern California Edison.

Results of Operations

Revenues

The Company acquired two operating wind farms during the year ended January 31, 2007. On July 25, 2006, the Company acquired the 29.9 MW Mesa Wind Farm and on February 18, 2006, the Company acquired the 4.5 MW Windridge Wind Farm. From July 25, 2006 to January 31, 2007, the Mesa Wind Farm generated $1,499,408 (US$1,318,045) in revenues. The Windridge Wind Farm generated $95,032 (US$85,537) in revenues from February 18, 2006 to January 31, 2007. Total revenues for the year ended January 31, 2007 amounted to $1,594,440 (US$1,401,582). For the six months ended July 31, 2007, the Mesa Wind Farm generated $3,607,047 (US$3,196,603) in revenues and the Windridge Wind Farm generated $86,834 (US$76,953) in revenues. Total revenues amounted to $3,693,881 (US$3,273,556).

The Company carried out substantial repairs of the wind turbines and collection system at the Mesa Wind Farm at the end of the 2007 fiscal year so that the wind turbines would be available for the spring and summer, which have greater wind speeds. For the balance of the fiscal year, revenues will be lower due to seasonal lower wind speeds and lower electricity prices.

Plant Operating Costs

Plant operating costs include operations and maintenance costs, property taxes, right-of-way fees, insurance and electricity costs. The Mesa Wind Farm plant operating costs from July 25, 2006 to January 31, 2007 amounted to $1,038,267 (US$1,007,371 and the Windridge Wind Farm plant operating costs from February 18, 2006 to January 31, 2007 amounted to $26,228 (US$23,056). Total plant operating costs amounted to $1,064,495 (US$1,030,427).

For the six months ended July 31, 2007, the operations and maintenance expenses totaled $1,767,444. The Mesa Wind portion of the costs amounted to $1,761,781 (US$1,561,209). The costs incurred in the previous operating period were higher due the longer operating period and the remediation and deferred repair expenditures. The operations and maintenance costs for Windridge for the six months ended July 31, 2007 totaled $5,664 (US$5,019). The costs to operate the Windridge Wind Farm are lower since there are fewer wind turbines, the wind farm is not located in a high wind area like Mesa Wind is and the wind turbines are old and in poorer condition than Mesa Wind.

Amortization

Amortization increased from $31,398 for the year ended January 31, 2006 to $1,418,075 for the year ended January 31, 2007.During the year ended January 31, 2007, and the Company completed the acquisition of the Mesa Wind Farm and the purchase of the Windridge Wind Farm.

For the three months ended July 31, 2007, amortization amounted to $557,572 and was $1,170,864 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. Comparable amounts for the previous year were $16,767 and $33,060 respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligation

During the year ended January 31, 2007, the Company purchased the Mesa Wind Farm. The grant of right-of-way with the Bureau of Land Management requires that the turbines and foundations be removed at the termination of the lease. The Company provided for an asset retirement liability of $953,704 (US$810,284) and accreted the liability by $79,296 (US$64,856) to increase the asset retirement liability to $1,030,000 (US$875,106).

For the three months ended April 30, 2007 and July 31, 2007, cost base of the asset retirement obligation was reduced as a result of the strength of the Canadian dollar. In addition, the Company accreted $17,805 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and $36,573 for the six months ended July 31, 2007.

Bonuses

At the 2005 Annual General Meeting, the shareholders approved the payment of bonuses to Jeff Ciachurski, the chief executive officer and a director of the Company, of $700,000 and to Michael Boyd, an officer and director of the Company, of $300,000. The bonus to Michael Boyd was paid by the issue of 182,930 shares at a deemed price of $1.64 per share. The bonus payable to Jeff Ciachurski will be paid by the issue of 426,829 shares to Jeff Ciachurski at a deemed price of $1.64. The shares are subject to an escrow agreement over the period from May 30, 2005 (the date of grant) to October 31, 2007, as such $334,080 of the bonuses has been expensed in the year ended January 31, 2007 and $582,000 of the bonuses have been expensed in the year ended January 31, 2006, and the remainder, which totals $83,920, was amortized to expense during the three months ended April 30, 2007.

Consulting and directors' fees

Consulting and directors' fees increased from $145,078 for the three months ended July 31, 2006 to $260,204 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and from $334,481 for the six months ended July 31, 2006 to $488,011 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. The major reasons for the increase include the increase in monthly compensation to Cash Long, an officer and director of the Company, the contracting of a legal consultant to assist with the negotiation and documentation of the legal agreements, negotiation of settlements with Pacific Hydro and providing advise on other law suits that the Company is involved in, the cost of computer consultants to complete a forensic analysis on computers used by Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis, the hiring of a vice president construction and development to manage the development and construction of wind projects and the accrual of directors fees for independent directors.

Foreign Exchange Gain

The Company generated a foreign exchange gain if $878,240 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and $1,778,741 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. The gain resulted from a change in the US exchange rate from 1.177 at January 31, 2007 to 1.0657 at July 31, 2007. As a result of the acquisition of the Mesa Wind Farm and real estate in Tehachapi and Arizona, the Company has $14,805,975 in US long term debt and $2,215,279 in payables.

The major US assets are considered foreign self-sustaining operations and the loss in value is deferred until the assets are disposed of. The accumulated losses are recorded as cumulative currency translation adjustments in shareholders' equity. At July 31, 2007, the accumulated loss amounted to $947,858 and has increased by $1,420,956 since January 31, 2007.

Interest and Accretion on Long Term Debt

Interest and accretion on long term debt increased from $nil for the three months ended July 31, 2006, 2006 to $496,854 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and from $22,697 for the six months ended July 31, 2006 to $983,083 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. The increase results from the interest accrued on the Mesa Wind acquisition loan payable from Pacific Hydro of $855,823 for the six months ended July 31, 2007and the accretion of the fair value of the conversion option provided for in the Windridge Acquisition Loan of $51,644.

Professional Fees

Professional fees have increased from $12,524 for the three months ended July 31, 2006 to $413,007 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and from $257,006 for the six months ended July 31, 2006 to $895,920 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. The increase results from higher audit fees, legal fees to defend against the law suits by Pacific Hydro, Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis and Michael Wystrach and to initiate a lawsuit against Paul Woodhouse and Darlene Gillis, legal fees related to FERC applications to obtain access to the Sagebrush transmission line, legal and accounting costs related to the completion of the 2006 20F and restatement of the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006 and higher 2007 audit costs than budgeted.

1 These amounts have been restated because, subsequent to October 31, 2006, we identified errors in the recording of stock based compensation for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2006 and for the nine months ended October 31, 2006. The amounts omitted the calculation of stock based compensation omitted the effects of the issue of 250,000 stock option on September 4, 2004 with an exercise price of $1.40 per share and the effects of the issue of 100,000 stock options on March 16, 2005 with an exercise price of $1.43 per share.

2 July 31 and October 31, 2005 amounts have been restated because the management share bonuses granted on May 30, 2005, during the second quarter were originally expensed in full during the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the bonuses were adjusted to be amortized over their vesting period, from May 30, 2005 to October 2007, thus resulting in a restatement of the July 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005 figures.

3October 31, 2006 amounts have been restated for discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at July 31, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $17,044,955 compared to a deficit of $18,841,732 at January 31, 2007 At both dates, the deficiency was created by the Pacific Hydro loan to acquire the Mesa Wind Farm, which is a current liability until the Company arranges long term debt and equity financing to the repay the loan. The funds were used to purchase the Mesa Wind Farm for $15,535,659 (US$13,611,056), finance construction-in-progress costs incurred during the period of $3,176,992, to provide security for the letters of credit for Southern California Edison of $1,167,655 (US$1,090,000), to repay the loan from a related party of $366,239 and to finance operations. The Company borrowed $15,771,800 from Pacific Hydro to acquire the Mesa Wind Farm. Since the loan was due on December 31, 2006, it is a reduction in working capital. At January 31, 2007, the Company's cash position was $42,506 and at July 31, 2007, the cash position was $49,463.

The Company has real estate interests in Tehachapi and in Arizona. The Tehachapi property can be leased to other wind developers and would generate lease income for the Company. Some of it could be developed for residential purposes or continued to be used for farming activities. Pacific Hydro commenced a lawsuit that states that they believe that we are unable to sell, lease or mortgage our real estate without their participation. The description of the lawsuit is detailed under Legal Proceedings.

If the Company is unable to raise equity capital to develop its wind properties, it could enter into joint ventures with larger wind developers that have greater capital resources. The corporate expenses are being reduced by the costs of the Steel Park 15MW Project discontinuance and other discretionary costs until the dispute with Pacific Hydro is resolved.

As a result of the termination of the power purchase agreements with New Brunswick Power and Arizona Public Service, the Company is focusing on the development of the120 MW Windstar Project and the redevelopment of the Mesa Wind Farm to 50 MW`s.

The Company is the subject of several lawsuits with Pacific Hydro as detailed in Legal Proceedings. If the Company is not successful in its lawsuits or settlement, Mesa Wind may be transferred to Pacific Hydro to repay the US$13,400,000 acquisition loan, Pacific Hydro may have the right to put 4,333,333 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.50 per share and the Company may be required to joint venture wind projects in Riverside and Kern Counties, California and Mohave County, Arizona with Pacific Hydro.

The Company's recurring losses and working capital deficiency, the uncertainty as to the ability of the Company to raise funds to repay Pacific Hydro and the lawsuits with Pacific Hydro and other parties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans on raising capital to repay the Pacific Hydro loan and to develop and construct wind energy projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at this time.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The critical accounting estimates are as follows:


The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation, based on estimates of the cost to remediate the Mesa Wind Farm at a future date.


The Company has performed impairment testing on the amount recorded as goodwill.


The Company has allocated the purchase price of property and equipment and goodwill and other intangible assets based on the estimated fair market values of assets and liabilities acquired.


Since a determination of many assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is dependent upon future events, the preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions which have been made using careful judgment. The critical accounting estimates are as follows: The Company has amortized the cost of its generating facilities, equipment and power purchase agreements over their estimated useful lives.


The Company has recorded stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model that requires an assumption of the expected lives of stock options granted to employees and consultants.


The Company has allocated the value of a conversion option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model that requires an assumption on the expected life of the conversion option. The difference between the loan amount and the value of the conversion option is being accreted over the term of the loan.

Initial Adoption and Changes in Accounting Policies

As a result of the acquisition of Mesa Wind, the Company established an asset retirement obligation that records the estimated cost to remediate leased property used for wind farms and allocates the remediation cost over the expected useful life of the wind farm.

The Mesa Wind acquisition also required the Company to allocate the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired at their appraised values and to record future income tax liabilities created as a result of the difference between the cost bases of the assets for tax purposes and accounting purposes.

The Company issued debt that provided the holder the right to convert the debt into common shares. The Company has valued the conversion option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and is accreting the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of the conversion option over the term of the loan.

The Company discontinued the proposed construction of the Grand Manan 20 MW and Steel Park 15 MW Generating Facilities. The results of operations, assets, liabilities, expenses, write-offs and cash flows have been segregated and recorded as discontinued operations.

The recognition of Mesa Wind as a self sustaining foreign operation has resulted in a foreign exchange gain from the date of acquisition to January 31, 2007. This foreign exchange gain has been recorded as cumulative foreign currency translation in shareholders' equity.

On July 5, 2007, the Company announced that definitive settlement documentation with Pacific Hydro was being finalized between the respective legal counsels of both parties. The details can only be released upon execution of the final settlement documents. The Company has also decided to cancel the 6 million share private placement previously announced on May 28, 2007, except for private placements received of $99,000 for 110,000 units already subscribed for by arm's length subscribers.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The commitments and contingent liabilities as at July 31, 2007 are as follows:

a) On April 6, 2006, a Letter of Credit was established for $1,161,613 (US$1,090,000) to secure performance bonds to Southern California Edison. The Letter of Credit is secured by US$1,090,000 in cash.

b) On January 25 2006, the Company entered into an Alliance Agreement with Pacific Hydro Limited in conjunction with private placement subscriptions totalling $9,000,000 for 6,000,000 shares. The Alliance Agreement requires the Company to offer projects to Pacific Hydro for financing and development within certain geographic areas and requires Pacific Hydro to fund development and construction costs on projects if a definitive joint venture agreement is entered into by the parties. Pacific Hydro has commenced a legal action against the Company to require the Company not to develop wind farms within these geographic areas without their participation or sell, lease or use its Tehachapi property as security for a loan.

c) The Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with a California civic government to jointly acquire and develop wind generated electricity projects in California. At this time, no definitive agreements have been entered into.

d) The Company has a right of way with the Bureau of Land Management that expires on January 26, 2013 and the Company has the right to enter into a new 30 year right of way. The right of way requires payments of US$78,478. The Company is committed to the removal of any structure, equipment and machinery at the end of the right of way. The Company also has an obligation to remove foundations and equipment on the termination of the right-of-way.

e) The Company has entered into a right-of-way grant with the Bureau of Land Management for three years for 22,227 acres of land near Kingman, Arizona for a rental fee of US$22,227 for the period from November 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007. Future rental rates are to be based on the fair market value of the property. The right of way grant may be renewed by making an amended application and providing a plan of development. Any improvements to the property must be removed at the end of the right-of-way.

The Company entered into a property referral agreement with Richard Simons that provides for a finder's fee of US$1,000 per MW payable on financial close.
The Company has no employees, and remunerates all officers, directors, and all other individuals by way of consulting fees. In addition, certain of these individuals earned bonuses during the year.
If certain of these individuals were deemed to be employees of the Company, as opposed to consultants, then the Company could be contingently liable for unremitted payroll taxes and source deductions and possible interest and penalties. The Company has not been challenged on this issue, and as such no amounts have been accrued for any unremitted payroll taxes and source deductions, interest or penalties in the consolidated financial statements.

On November 7, 2006, Pacific Hydro has commenced legal action to require the transfer of the shares of Mesa Wind Power Corporation to Pacific Hydro. The Company has filed a Statement of Defence and Counter Claim. The Statement of Defence states that Pacific Hydro did not elect to subscribe to the US$7 million in shares to partially repay the Loan to Pacific Hydro of US$13,400,000 so that the maturity date of the loan was extended to December 31, 2006. The Counterclaim states that Pacific Hydro has obstructed the Company's efforts to refinance the loan and demands that the maturity date be extended to 180 days after the settlement of all lawsuits with Pacific Hydro, that Pacific Hydro be restrained from taking action to realize upon its security until a final determination is made by the Court and that Pacific Hydro pay damages to the Company. Management believes that the outcome of the lawsuit is indeterminable at this time.
On November 8, 2006, Pacific Hydro commenced legal action to require the redemption of 4,333,333 common shares at a price of $1.50 per share. Pacific Hydro has claimed that it has the right to put these shares to the Company pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement. The Company has filed a Statement of Defence and Counter Claim. The Statement of Defence states that the terms and conditions of the private placement are described in the Subscription Agreement entered into by Pacific Hydro and that the Subscription Agreement does not provide for any redemption right and acknowledges that there are no written or verbal agreements related to the private placement establishing a put option. The Counter Claim is for damages resulting from the dissemination of its notice of intention to sell the common shares and related legal action by Pacific Hydro. Management believes that Pacific Hydro's claim in is without any merit.

On December 19, 2006, Pacific Hydro commenced legal action to prevent the Company from selling, developing, leasing or using the land in Tehachapi, California without their participation. The Company is claiming that the Alliance Agreement or subsequent joint venture agreements require shareholder approval and that joint venture agreements are subject to the negotiation of a definitive agreement. The Company has filed its Statement of Defence and Counter Claim with respect to this action. Since the agreement has not been specifically approved by the shareholders, management believes that a Special General Meeting of the Shareholders is required to approve any agreement with Pacific Hydro.

The Company is being sued by a former director of Eastern Wind for 50,000 stock options that were not authorized by the Company, and $6,000 in remuneration for services. Management believes that the action is without merit; however, the ultimate outcome is indeterminable. In addition, a former director of Eastern Wind is suing the Company and its chief executive officer for slander. The Company believes that the suit is without merit.
During the 2006 fiscal year, the Board of Directors approved the payment of bonuses totalling $1,350,000 by the issue of common shares at $1.64 per share. At the year end, $300,000 of the bonus was paid by the issue of 182,930 common shares of the Company and a further 426,829 shares having a deemed value of $700,000 have been approved but not issued. The remaining $350,000 was payable upon the successful completion of the Grand Manan Project. Subsequent to the year end, this bonus arrangement was cancelled and the officers of Eastern Wind were terminated for cause. The officers have initiated a lawsuit for the delivery of the bonus shares and payment of income taxes that may be payable as a result of the issue of the bonus shares. Management believes that the action is without merit; however the ultimate outcome is indeterminable. The officers have also initiated a lawsuit against the Company and its chief executive officer for slander. The parties have agreed upon the terms of a settlement agreement and are preparing legal documents to implement the settlement. Management does not believe that the settlement will have a material effect on the Company.
On July 9, 2007, Michael and Grace Wystrach filed a Statement of Claim against the Company claiming that they were not paid $351,000 for a prepaid lease or, if they were paid, that the chief executive officer unlawfully misappropriated the funds. The Company will file a Statement of Defence. Management believes that the allegations made by Michael and Grace Wystrach in the Statement of Claim do not have any merit.
On June 8, 2007 the Company entered into negotiations to settle all outstanding issues between the parties and to provide for the cessation of all legal proceedings between the parties. Although the basic financial terms have been agreed to by both parties, settlement is subject to a definitive agreement. There can be no guarantee that a settlement will be reached between the Company and Pacific Hydro or that the final terms of the settlement will be favourable to the Company.
At the date of this Report, the Company was in good standing under all corporate laws and securities laws by which it is governed except for its failure to file Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States for the year ended January 31, 2007.
