"Since becoming a public company in August 2009, we have completed a number of major milestones that demonstrate our ability to execute on our strategy that is focused on capturing a significant share of China's growing renewable energy market," said Mr. Jun Liu, Chief Executive Officer, China Wind Power International Corp. "Most notably, we completed construction of Phase 1 of our wind energy projects, entered the commercial phase of our operations, and have generated more than 67 million KWh of electricity to date. This momentum paves the way for completion of our five development phases with a total capacity of 547 MW of wind power by the end 2014."

    
    FY2010 Operational Highlights

    -   Completed a reverse take-over of Berkshire Griffin and a qualifying
        transaction that generated gross proceeds of $27.3 million
    -   Began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on August 5, 2009
    -   Completed construction of Phase 1 with a capacity of 49 MW of wind
        energy production output
    -   Commenced commercial production of wind energy
    -   Received more than $575,000 of government subsidies in support of its
        wind energy development plans in Du Mon County
    -   Generated more than 67 million KWh of electricity to the end of June,
        2010.

    Highlights Subsequent to Year-end

    -   Completed a non-brokered private placement that generated gross
        proceeds of $4.4 million
    -   Continued construction of Phase 2, which is expected to be completed
        in the third quarter of calendar 2010 and generate a capacity of 49.5
        MW of wind energy output.
    

Financial Results for FY2010

Total electricity sales for FY 2010 were $3.8 million, up 842% from $406,665 for FY2009. The growth is due to completion of Phase 1 of the Company's energy projects and the resulting start of commercial energy production.

The Company had recorded revenue for FY2010 of $1.7 million after excluding the recovery of wind farm plant costs of $2.1 million from total electricity sales. Sales of $2.1 million were generated during the testing, tuning and calibration of the Phase 1 wind project, and this was used to affect the Phase 1 power plant cost. In FY2009, China Wind had no recorded revenue after recovery costs of $406,665 were deducted.

Excluding a stock-based compensation charge of $3.2 million, adjusted EBITDA for FY2010 was $481,958. In FY2009, China Wind had adjusted negative EBITDA of $797,990.

Net loss for FY2010 was $5 million, or $0.10 per share fully diluted, up from a net loss of $833,296, or $0.03 per share fully diluted, for FY2009. The increase in net loss is attributable to the ramping up of operations in FY2010.

    
    Selected Financial Highlights for Q4 FY2010

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

Total electricity sales for Q4 FY2010 were $1.2 million, up 197% from $406,665 for Q4 FY2009 and down $81,000 from Q3 FY2010. The decline on a sequential basis was due to seasonal factors as wind output generally declines during winter months. The Company had no recovery of wind farm plant costs in Q4 FY2010.

Excluding a stock-based compensation charge of $410,526, adjusted EBITDA for Q4 FY2010 was $816,973, up 81% from $450,033 for Q3 FY2010. In Q4 FY2009, China Wind had negative adjusted EBITDA of $202,328. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA is attributable to higher recorded revenue following the completion of testing, tuning and calibration of Phase 1, which is currently operating at 60% capacity.

Net loss for Q4 FY2010 was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share fully diluted, up from a net loss of $626,296 or $0.01 per share fully diluted, for Q3 FY 2010. The quarter-over-quarter increase in net loss was due to higher depreciation costs as well as to higher interest expenses incurred in Q4 FY2010. China Wind had a net loss of $214,820, or $0.007 per share fully diluted, for Q4 FY2009. The year-over-year increase in net loss is attributable to the ramping up of operations in FY2010.

Outlook

"We are very encouraged by our recent progress and believe that we are solidly positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for wind power in China," added Mr. Liu. "In the short term our focus will be to complete the construction of Phase 2, which when finalized will add another 49.5 MW of capacity. Over the long term, we believe that our phased development plan will enable us to produce 547 MW of wind energy by the end of 2014."
