Marketwired Canada


China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNW) ("China Wind Power" or
the "Company"), an independent wind power producer in China, today reported its
financial results for the three month period ended December 31, 2011. All
amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. 


"Our financial results for the quarter were in line with our expectations and
fairly similar to our results for the same quarter a year ago," said Mr. Jun
Liu, Chief Executive Officer of China Wind Power. "During the quarter, Phase 1
generated approximately 27.6 million KWh of electricity for an aggregate
production to-date of 203 million KWh as of December 31, 2011. Most importantly
however, between now and the summer we expect our installed capacity to grow
more than six-fold to approximately 296.5 MW."

China Wind Power's financial results for the third quarter were on par with the
third quarter a year ago. The Company had revenue of $2.4 million and adjusted
EBITDA of $1.7 million for the quarter compared to revenue of $2.4 million and
adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million for the same period a year earlier. A decrease
of approximately $0.2 million in other income accounted for most of the
year-over-year difference in adjusted EBITDA. The Company incurred a net loss of
$0.2 million for the quarter compared to net profit of $0.09 million for the
third quarter a year ago. 


For the fiscal year-to-date, the Company generated $5.7 million in revenue and
$3.8 million in adjusted EBITDA compared to revenue of $4.9 million and adjusted
EBITDA of $3.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Net loss for
the fiscal year-to-date improved to $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $1.9
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. 


Update on Wind Farm Development Projects in Du Mon County

"Credit conditions in China have not had a favourable impact on wind farm
development projects in recent quarters," said Mr. Jun Liu. "While the final
installment of our bank loan to fund the completion of Phase II has been
approved, we are still waiting for the proceeds to be disbursed. In light of the
delays that we have experienced with regards to completing Phase II, we have
decided to be more conservative in our plans and expectations for the completion
of Phase III, which we now target for completion by the end of this calendar
year."
