SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
I.
Basis of Presentation

The Group is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Group considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. The Group prepared these statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, the Group condensed or omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Group reported no sales and a net loss of US$7,959,887. Management intends to focus on the collection of accounts receivable in the near future to meet the Group’s daily business demands. In addition, management expects to obtain additional financing as may be required from local banks. Moreover, Wuhan Guoce Science & Technology Corp., a related party controlled by Hou Tiexin, the Group’s Chairman and principal shareholder, is expected to continue to provide financial support for the Group so as to enable the Group to meet its financial obligations when due and its working capital requirements. While there can be no assurance that the Company will receive additional financing, management believes that the Group will continue its business as a going concern and has prepared these financial statements under this assumption.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

 
II.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include components of net income, which is consistent with the income statement format used today, and the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income (OCI). The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. For public entities, the ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For all entities, guidance must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Group will adopt the ASU for accounting periods beginning after January 1, 2012.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The fair value of warrant liability is estimated using a binomial model and is classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value estimation involves significant assumptions that are not observable in the market. The value of the warranty liability was US$85,889 as of December 31, 2010. The warrants have been reclassified from warrant liability to permanent equity on January 1, 2011. (Note 9)

The estimated fair value of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash, term deposit, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, approximates their carrying value as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term accounts receivable approximates carrying value, because long-term accounts receivable are recorded at net present value upon recognition and amortized using an effective interest rate method, which approximated the prevailing market interest rate as of the reporting dates.
 
4.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Group’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:
 
   
June 30,
 2011
   
December 31,
2010
 
             
Unbilled receivable
  $ 23,090,104     $ 32,764,395  
Billed receivable
    24,763,751     $ 25,685,643  
      47,853,855       58,450,038  
Less: bad debt provision
    1,547,792       267,423  
    $ 46,306,063     $ 58,182,615  

Unbilled receivable represents amounts earned under sales contracts but not billable at the respective balance sheet dates. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms. The Group recorded bad debt provision of US$1,280,369 and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2011, one of the Group's customers underwent a change in control. The new controlling shareholder, which is an existing customer of the group, requested and was granted on May 28, 2011, a concession of the accounts receivable in the amount of US$4,189,605 (RMB26.7 million). As a result, the Group wrote off the accounts receivable in the amount of US$4,189,605 and recorded this as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
As of June 30, 2011, US$10,816,470 (RMB70,000,000) accounts receivable has been pledged as collateral for a loan facility with the same amount obtained from a PRC bank (Note 7).

WARRANTS

In conjunction with the private placement offering of 6,400,000 common shares on October 30, 2009, the Company granted warrants to each investor in an amount equal to 10% of purchased common shares, or a total of 640,000 shares (“Warrant I”).  The warrants had an exercise price of US$1.00 per share and were exercisable any time within three years from the date of issuance.  However if the After-Tax Net Income (“ATNI”) for fiscal year 2010 is less than a guaranteed US$12,500,000, the Company would reduce the exercise price of each warrant to equal as Adjusted Exercise Price in accordance with a pre-set formula, provided that if the Adjusted Exercise Price is negative, the Adjusted Exercise Price will be deemed to equal to US$0.001 per share.  The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants of US$1,332,881 on day one as warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets as the warrants did not qualify for equity classification under U.S. GAAP.  The warrant liability was remeasured at fair value of US$85,889 as of December 31, 2010. The fair value change of US$268,486 was recorded as gain on change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Based on the actual ATNI for the fiscal year 2010, the Adjusted Exercise Price was determined as a fixed price of US$0.54795.  As a result, such warrants were reclassified from warrant liability to permanent equity on January 1, 2011.

In connection with the same private placement, the Company granted 560,000 shares of warrants (“Warrant II”) to the agents as compensation for received consulting services.  The warrants had an exercise price of US$1.00 per share and were exercisable any time within three years from the date of issuance.

In March 2011, the Company granted 260,000 shares of warrants in total (“Warrant III”) to two consulting companies as compensation for financial and public relations services. The warrants have an exercise price of US$1.05 per share and were exercisable any time up to August 17, 2014.  There is no performance commitment associated with these warrants, therefore the warrants were fully vested upon issuance and the fair value of the warrants on the measurement date in the amount of US$23,759 was recorded as general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The warrants were accounted for as equity instruments, the fair value of which was estimated using Black-Scholes model based on the following significant assumptions:
 
Expected volatility
   
59.41
Expected dividend yield
   
-
 
Expected term (in years)
   
3.4
 
Risk-free interest rate
   
1.18

None of the above warrants had been exercised as of June 30, 2011.
 
10.
INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and incentives available in the jurisdiction in which the Group operates. For interim financial reporting, the Group estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the FASB ASC 740, (pre-codification reference as FIN 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Period) and FASB ASC 270 (pre-codification reference as APB 18, Interim Financial Reporting).  As the year progresses, the Group refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year.  When this occurs, the Group adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual tax rate.

The actual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the same period in 2010 are 14.8% and 26.4%, respectively. Effective from January 1, 2010, GC Nordic is entitled to enjoy a 15% preferential tax rate as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”).  Such title of HNTE was not obtained until the fourth quarter of 2010, therefore the decrease of effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to this tax holiday.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements and the notes thereto, which form an integral part of the financial statements, which are attached hereto.

The financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in United States dollars.

Our Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Overview

GC China Turbine Corp., formerly known as Nordic Turbines, Inc. (the “Company”, the “Group”, “we”, “our” or “us”), is a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Luckcharm and its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary GC Nordic.

Since early 2011, in accordance with the requirements of the PRC's State Electricity Regulatory Commission ("SERC"), wind turbines shall gradually be equipped with the Low Voltage Ride Through (“LVRT”) function and larger unit power for the construction of wind power farms. LVRT refers to the ability of wind turbines to maintain continuous operation during and after abrupt voltage dips, which allows the power grid to be adjusted more quickly, thereby improving the overall safety and stability of the grid. The LVRT requirement was brought up due to many instances of wind turbines getting disconnected from the power grid in China, involving more than 1,300 wind turbines. Our 1.1 megawatt (“MW”) wind turbine products have the LVRT function and through our efforts, we have developed a technological resolution of LVRT for our current 1.0 MW wind turbines that previously did not have such LVRT functionality that we had sold to customers. However, the SERC requirement for larger unit power led to little market demand for our current 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines. Therefore, we were unable to complete any sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Due to this marketing difficulty of our 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines in China during 2011, management endeavored to search for potential customers for these products in other territories. In addition, management has focused more effort on the research and development of a 2.5 MW wind turbine design. Prototype design for these larger 2.5MW wind turbines is expected to be completed by the end of September 2011, while the wind turbine testing certification process is expected to be completed by the end of March 2012. We believe that our planned 2.5MW wind turbines will promote our competitiveness and expand our domestic and overseas markets for the next several years, as they are being designed to meet the trends of domestic and overseas wind turbine development and have several advantageous functions. Although the development of 2.5 MW wind turbines is still in process at this stage, management has commenced negotiations with potential customers about sales contracts for our future 2.5 MW wind turbine products and expects to enter into certain sales contracts by the end of 2011. Meanwhile, management focused on taking effective measures to strengthen the collection of accounts receivable, which led to the collection of US$5,578,132 in the second quarter of 2011, in addition to the collection of US$497,535 during the first quarter of 2011.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 25, 2006 under the name of Visa Dorada Corp. On May 18, 2009, we effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split to improve trading liquidity, and enhance overall shareholder value. In an effort to grow our company, on May 22, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with GC Nordic as described below, and on June 11, 2009 we changed our name to Nordic Turbines, Inc. We subsequently changed our name to “GC China Turbine Corp.” on September 14, 2009.

Our Acquisition of Luckcharm and Related Financing

On May 22, 2009, we entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with GC Nordic whereby we would purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of GC Nordic from its shareholders, and the shareholders of GC Nordic would receive a 54% ownership interest in the Company. Further on July 31, 2009, an Amended and Restated Binding Letter of Intent (“Revised LOI”) was entered among us, Luckcharm, GC Nordic, New Margin Growth Fund L.P. (“New Margin”), Ceyuan Ventures II, L.P. (“CV”) and Ceyuan Ventures Advisors Fund II, LLC (“CV Advisors”) whereby we would purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Luckcharm from the shareholders, and the shareholders of Luckcharm would receive a 54% ownership interest in the Company. The Revised LOI further provided that (i) upon consummation of the reverse acquisition, as described below, we would directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding capital stock of GC Nordic; (ii) the closing date for the reverse acquisition would be thirty days from the date GC Nordic completed an audit of its financial statements as required under U.S. securities laws; and (iii) the obligation of GC Nordic to consummate the reverse acquisition was conditioned upon an additional financing of at least US$10,000,000 into the combined entities at closing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Acquisition of Luckcharm and Related Financing (continued)

On May 22, 2009, under the terms of the LOI we provided GC Nordic with a secured bridge loan in the amount of US$1,000,000 to be applied toward legal and audit expenses, and working capital. Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, the bridge loan became an intercompany loan. We had been provided these funds through promissory notes from two foreign accredited investors, and these notes were later assigned to Clarus Capital Ltd. (“Clarus”).

On July 31, 2009, we, Luckcharm, GC Nordic, New Margin, CV and CV Advisors entered into an amended and restated financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”). The Financing Agreement provided that we agreed to lend Luckcharm (i) US$2,500,000 before July 24, 2009 and (ii) US$7,500,000 before July 31, 2009. In order to guarantee Luckcharm’s lending obligations under the Financing Agreement, New Margin loaned US$5,000,000 to us and CV and CV Advisors loaned the aggregate of US$5,000,000 of the above amounts to us, and we in turn loaned US$10,000,000 to Luckcharm for purposes of working capital. Upon the consummation of the reverse acquisition, the US$10,000,000 convertible loan made to us by New Margin, CV and CV Advisors converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to US$0.80 per share, and the US$10,000,000 we loaned to Luckcharm became an intercompany loan and was eliminated in the consolidation of our financial statements with those of Luckcharm.

On September 30, 2009, we entered into a voluntary share exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Luckcharm, GC Nordic and Golden Wind Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and the parent entity of Luckcharm (“Golden Wind”).

On October 30, 2009, the reverse acquisition contemplated by the Exchange Agreement was consummated. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Luckcharm became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we acquired the business and operations of GC Nordic. At the closing of the reverse acquisition, we issued 32,383,808 shares of our common stock to Golden Wind, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Luckcharm and US$10,000,000 in previously issued convertible promissory notes were converted into 12,500,000 shares of our common stock. Our acquisition of Luckcharm pursuant to the share exchange agreement was accounted for as a reverse acquisition wherein Luckcharm is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

Contemporaneous with the reverse acquisition, we also completed a private placement pursuant to which investors agreed to purchase 6,400,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of US$1.25 per share for an aggregate offering price of US$8,000,000. Additionally, we entered into (i) an amendment to a convertible promissory note held by Clarus in the amount of US$1,000,000 revising the conversion feature of such note (“Clarus Note I”), and (ii)  a Note Purchase Agreement with Clarus whereby Clarus agreed to loan US$1,000,000 to us upon the effective date of delivery of 20 wind turbine systems by us to our customers in the form of a convertible promissory note bearing no interest, having a maturity date of 2 years from the date of issuance and convertible into shares of our common stock at US$2.00 per share at anytime at holder’s option (“Clarus Note II”). Both notes are automatically convertible into shares of our common stock at US$2.00 per share on the six-month anniversary upon the effective date of delivery of 20 wind turbine systems by us to our customers. In connection with the private placement, we also issued 640,000 warrants to investors and 560,000 warrants to placement agents and advisors to purchase our common stock with each warrant having an exercise price of US$1.00 per share and being exercisable at any time within 3 years from the date of issuance. On June 12, 2010, six months after the delivery of 20 wind turbines systems, Clarus Note I was automatically converted into 500,000 shares of our common stock at the conversion price of US$2.00 per share. On August 11, 2010, the Company and Clarus entered into an amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement. The two parties reached a consensus to extend the issuance of Clarus Note II to November 15, 2010, with an extension payment by Clarus of US$10,000. The Company and Clarus Capital Ltd. have agreed to terminate the Clarus Note II with negotiation on detailed terms ongoing.

In connection with the private placement, Golden Wind entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors in the private placement offering, whereby Golden Wind pledged 640,000 shares of our common stock to the investors in order to secure our make good obligations under the private placement.  In the make good escrow agreement, we established a minimum after-tax-net-income threshold of US$12,500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. If the minimum after-tax-net-income threshold for the fiscal year 2010 was not achieved, then the investors would be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock held by Golden Wind based upon a pre-defined formula agreed to between the investors and Golden Wind. Golden Wind deposited a total of 640,000 shares of our common stock, into escrow with Capitol City Escrow, Inc. under the make good escrow agreement. Additionally, if the minimum after-tax-net-income threshold for the fiscal year 2010 was not achieved, then the investors would be entitled to have the exercise price of the warrants adjusted lower based upon a pre-defined formula agreed to between the investors and us. As the minimum after-tax-net-income threshold of US$12,500,000 was not achieved for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the shares of our common stock and exercise price of the warrants under our make good obligations were subject to adjustment. Based on the calculations of such adjustments, we were required to instruct the escrow agent to release 289,312 shares of our common stock already issued and held in escrow to the investors, and the exercise price of the warrants was reduced from US$1.00 to US$0.54795.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Background and History of Luckcharm

Luckcharm was originally incorporated in Hong Kong on June 15, 2009 by Fernside Limited. On June 29, 2009, Fernside Limited transferred all of the equity interest of Luckcharm to Golden Wind. On August 1, 2009, Luckcharm entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of GC Nordic from the original nine individual shareholders (the “Founders”). On August 5, 2009, GC Nordic received approval of this acquisition from the Bureau of Commerce of the Wuhan City, Hubei Province, PRC, and GC Nordic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Luckcharm. GC Nordic holds the government licenses and approvals necessary to operate the wind turbines business in China.

Critical Accounting Policies

We follow certain significant accounting policies when preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. A summary of these policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management of our company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in our financial position should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed on April 1, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Revenues

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were nil compared to US$11,060,941 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. No wind turbine was sold in the second quarter of 2011 while 20 wind turbines were sold in the second quarter of 2010.

In accordance with the requirements of the PRC's State Electricity Regulatory Commission ("SERC"), wind turbines shall gradually be equipped with the function of Low Voltage Ride Through (“LVRT”) and larger unit power beginning in 2011. LVRT refers to the ability of wind turbines to maintain continuous operation during and after abrupt voltage dips, which allows the power grid to be adjusted more quickly, thereby improving the overall safety and stability of the grid. These two requirements have been gradually adopted by grid companies in some countries, especially in Germany and Denmark. Our current 1.0MW wind turbine does not meet the LVRT requirements, however, during the second quarter of 2011, we developed a technological resolution to retrofit our 1.0 MW wind turbines to meet the LVRT requirements. Accordingly, our customers may continue to utilize the 1.0 MW wind turbines which we previously sold. Our 1.1 MW wind turbines have LVRT functionality. However, the SERC requirement for larger unit power led to little market demand for our current 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines. Therefore, we were unable to complete any sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Due to the difficulty in marketing our 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines in China during 2011, management endeavored to search for potential customers for these products in other territories. In addition, management has focused more effort on the research and development of 2.5 MW wind turbines, such as accelerating the design of 2.5 MW wind turbines and focusing on relevant technology training since the second quarter of 2011. Prototype design for these larger 2.5MW wind turbines is expected to be completed by the end of September 2011, while the wind turbine testing certification process is expected to be completed by the end of March 2012. We believe that our planned 2.5MW wind turbines will promote our competitiveness and expand our domestic and overseas markets for the next several years, as they are being designed to meet the trends of domestic and overseas wind turbine development and have several advantageous functions. However, until we complete the development of our 2.5MW wind turbines and introduce them into the market, we expect that the sales difficulties for 1.0MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines in our domestic market will continue.

Cost of sales and gross profit margin

Total cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was nil, a decrease from US$8,268,677 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and attributable to our lack of wind turbine sales in the second quarter of 2011.

The following table sets forth the components of our cost of sales and gross profit both in absolute amount and as a percentage of total net sales for the periods indicated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 (continued)

Operating expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by US$212,798 from US$81,264for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to US$294,062. After the establishment of the three new PRC subsidiaries in 2010 (Taonan Guoce, Baicheng Kairui and Baicheng Guoce), more focus was put on the expansion of business in Jilin Province. As a result, selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 which included salaries and bonus, travelling expenses, marketing, office supplies and other expenses increased significantly when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Research and development expenses were US$821,505 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to US$186,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We incorporated Guoce Nordic AB and GC Windpower AB in Sweden, which are engaged in 1.1MW, 2.5MW and 3.0MW wind turbine research. The increase was primarily attributable to the research and development activities of the 1.1MW and 2.5MW wind turbines during the second quarter of 2011.

General and administrative expenses increased by US$5,313,317 from US$542,960 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to US$5,856,277 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This was mainly due to the write-off of accounts receivable equivalents to US$4,189,605 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to nil for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Based on the sales contract of US$38,243,948 (RMB247.5 million) for 50 wind turbines entered into between the Group and a customer named Guoneng Fengshen on February 9, 2010, the Group delivered 50 wind turbines to Guoneng Fengshen as at December 31, 2010 and recognized the related revenue. These 50 wind turbines were slated for installation at the first phase of a new wind farm project undertaken by Jilin Fengshen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guoneng Fengshen which is in charge of running the wind farm. In 2011, a reputable large state-owned enterprise in PRC, acquired 51% equity interest of Jilin Fengshen from Guoneng Fengshen and became the controlling shareholder of Jilin Fengshen (the"Restructuring"). The Restructuring was completed during the second quarter of 2011. Subsequently, Jilin Fengshen requested and reached an amendment of the sales contract with the Group to renegotiate the contract value of the delivered turbines on May 28, 2011. Under the amendment, the Group agreed to grant a discount of US$4,189,605 (RMB26.7 million) to Jilin Fengshen. The discount is considered a concession of the outstanding receivable. As a result, the Group wrote off the receivable of US$4,189,605 (RMB26.7 million) as the effect of the discount and recorded it as operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operation for the three months June 30, 2011.
 
Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was US$1,392,838 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In April 2011, the Group reached an agreement with the local government to relocate its principal executive office and manufacturing facility to another place offered by the government. The main purpose of the relocation was to improve its working environment. As a result of the relocation, certain equipments that are affixed to the building were abandoned, whose carrying value was US$1,392,838.

Other operating income increased by US$207,035 from US$23,382 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to US$230,417 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  This was mainly due to the increase in unrestricted government subsidies from a local government agency.

Interest expense

Interest expense was US$261,686 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to US$18,228 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase of interest expense was mainly due to the short-term bank borrowings drawn down in late June 2010 and November 2010.

Interest income

Interest income was US$193,892 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to US$31,484 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to the interest income earned from short-term loans to related parties, and the amortization for the difference between long-term accounts receivable’s present value and face amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 (continued)

Gain from change in fair value of warrant liability

We recorded a gain on fair value change of US$202,922 of the warrant liability for the three months ended June 30, 2010. In conjunction with the private placement offering of 6,400,000 common shares on October 30, 2009, we granted warrants to each investor in an amount equal to 10% of purchased common shares, or a total of 640,000 shares. We recorded the fair value of the warrants of US$1,332,881 on day one as warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets as the warrants do not qualify for equity classification under US GAAP. The warrant liability was re-measured at fair value of US$795,980 and US$998,902 as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value change of US$202,922 was recorded as gain on change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The warrant liability was reclassified into equity on January 1, 2011 and therefore, there was no fair value change for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Provision (benefit) for income tax

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was US$1,196,687 compared to income tax provision of US$597,224 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are 14.6% and 26.8%, respectively. Effective January 1, 2010, GC Nordic is entitled to enjoy a 15% preferential tax rate as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”).  Such title of HNTE was not obtained until the fourth quarter of 2010, therefore the decrease of effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to this tax holiday.

Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders

Net loss attributable to shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was US$7,026,048 by a decrease of US$8,682,501 from net income attributable to shareholders of US$1,656,453 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This is mainly due to no revenue being generated, bad debt expenses and the write-off of accounts receivable, as well as the disposal of some property and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Comparison of Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Revenues

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were nil compared to US$23,058,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. No wind turbine was sold in the first half year of 2011 while 40 wind turbines were sold in the first half year of 2010.

In accordance with the requirements of the PRC's State Electricity Regulatory Commission ("SERC"), wind turbines shall gradually be equipped with the function of Low Voltage Ride Through (“LVRT”) and larger unit power beginning in 2011. LVRT refers to the ability of wind turbines to maintain continuous operation during and after abrupt voltage dips, which allows the power grid to be adjusted more quickly, thereby improving the overall safety and stability of the grid.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 (continued)

Interest expense

Interest expense was US$459,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to US$26,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase of interest expense was mainly due to the short-term bank borrowings drawn down in late June 2010 and November 2010.

Interest income

Interest income was US$306,095 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to US$69,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the interest income earned from short-term loans to related parties, and the amortization for the difference between long-term accounts receivable’s present value and face amount.

Gain from change in fair value of warrant liability

We recorded a gain on fair value change of US$471,408 of the warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In conjunction with the private placement offering of 6,400,000 common shares on October 30, 2009, we granted warrants to each investor in an amount equal to 10% of purchased common shares, or a total of 640,000 shares. We recorded the fair value of the warrants of US$1,332,881 on day one as warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets as the warrants do not qualify for equity classification under US GAAP. The warrant liability was re-measured at fair value of US$795,980 and US$1,267,388 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The fair value change of US$471,408 was recorded as gain on change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The warrant liability was reclassified into equity on January 1, 2011 and therefore, there was no fair value change for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Provision (benefit) for income tax

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was US$1,384,492 compared to income tax provision of US$1,246,084 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are 14.8% and 26.4%, respectively. Effective January 1, 2010, GC Nordic is entitled to enjoy a 15% preferential tax rate as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”). Such title of HNTE was not obtained until the fourth quarter of 2010, therefore the decrease of effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to this tax holiday.

Net income attributable to shareholders

Net loss attributable to shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was US$7,953,101 by a decrease of US$11,478,383 from net income attributable to shareholders of US$3,525,282 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This is mainly due to no revenue being generated, bad debt expenses and the write-off of accounts receivable, as well as the disposal of some property and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of US$5,058,434, other current assets of US$56,855,389 and current liabilities of US$43,962,807. Other current assets included US$418,752 restricted cash used as security against bank drafts which are used as short-term instruments to reduce financing cost. As of June 30, 2011, our accounts receivable consisted of billed receivable of US$24,763,751 and unbilled receivable of US$23,090,104, net of bad debt provision of $1,547,792. As of the date of this Report, we collected US$6,075,667 billed receivable from customers during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiaries. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make dividends and other payments to their offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Each of our PRC subsidiaries is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in such fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes, such as reduce previous years’ loss and increase the capital of the subsidiaries, and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. As of June 30, 2011, the amount of our restricted net assets was US$17,776,327. This represents the registered capital of our PRC subsidiaries. In accordance with Section 209 of the China’s Company Law, the founder shareholders of the company are restricted to withdraw such registered capital; otherwise, it will be deemed an offence and we would be subject to paying a penalty.

Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support our operations, the purchase of raw materials related to our production and designing our wind turbines to comply with the PRC’s recently enacted LVRT requirements. We presently finance our operations through collection of accounts receivable, short-term bank borrowings and related party borrowings.  Based on our forecasted cash flows requirements, we believe that our existing capital resources are sufficient to meet our current obligations and operating requirements, but will not be sufficient to meet our more aggressive growth plans and that we will need to raise additional capital based on actual conditions. We will consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowing as potential means of financing, however, there are no assurances that we will be successful or that we will obtain terms that are favorable to us. Our ability to raise capital is subject to approval by our existing investors, New Margin, CV and CV Advisors pursuant to an investor rights agreement. As such, we may not be able to accept certain available financing offers if we do not receive the approval of New Margin, CV and CV Advisors. If we are unable to reach an agreement with New Margin, CV and CV Advisors regarding future financing opportunities, that could adversely affect our ability to meet our business objectives.

Our liquidity could be further impacted by external factors such as any significant increase in the market price of electricity or raw materials like steel and copper and changes in regulations. Each or a combination of such factors may result in lower sales, increased expenses and costs and result in lower profitability and negative cash flows, thus reducing our liquidity.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was US$2,088,151 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of US$2,050,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We collected US$6,075,667 of accounts receivable from products sold in the previous year. No set of wind turbines was delivered in the first half year of 2011, which resulted in the tax benefit and decreased income tax payable in the amount of US$1,384,492. The sales contracts of our Company are consistent with the market practice on payment terms within the wind power equipment manufacturing industry, which include payments upon signing, progress payments, delivery payments, pre-acceptance payments, and guarantee payments. Our liquidity may be impacted by the timely collection of accounts receivable, but the effect will be partially mitigated by the pertinent management on the payments of accounts payable. We purchased some raw materials for future production and prototype test of the wind turbines, which increased account payable in amount of US$1,294,644, increased inventories in amount of US$946,572, and decreased other current liabilities in amount of US$1,473,926, attributable to in VAT payable. Notes payable decreased by US$4,871,808, mainly due to the maturity of commercial acceptance notes issued in 2011. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, US$5,373,598 was used to settle accounts payable with vendors and acquire certain spare parts, US$814,044 was paid for staff compensation and social welfare, US$2,664,674 in other operating expenses, and US$6,075,667 was received from our customers, government subsidy in the amount ofUS$291,119 was received from a local government agency and US$397,379 from other operating activities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
   
Net cash provided by investing activities was US$2,543,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with net cash used in investing activities of US$2,635,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the decrease in restricted cash of US$ 2,166,818, collection of six months term deposit of US$1,069,166 when due, collection of US$429,319 from related parties and collection of US$120,797 from a third party during the first half year of 2011, and offset by purchase of equipment and intangible assets of US$1,243,078.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was US$2,738,787 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 with a decrease of US$6,431,437 compared with US$9,170,224 in financing activities for the six month ended June 30, 2010. This was mainly due to the repayment of a loan of US$9,164,280, offset by additional borrowings of US$4,582,140 from a local bank and borrowings of US$7,726,050 from related parties during the first half year of 2011.

Outstanding Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2010, the Group had a loan facility in the amount of US$18,119,520 (RMB120,000,000) from a PRC bank for procuring raw materials, which was guaranteed by GC-Tech and four shareholders of the Company, and collateralized by the same amount of the Group's accounts receivable. The Group drew down the first tranche of the loan facility in the amount of US$9,059,760 (RMB60,000,000) with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.37% on June 24, 2010. Another tranche of US$4,529,880 (RMB30,000,000), with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.67% was secured by Hou Tie Xin, the Chairman and the principal shareholder of the Group, for the benefit of the Group on November 26, 2010.

On June 24, 2011, the Group repaid the first tranche of the loan in the amount of US$9,164,280 (RMB60,000,000) at maturity, then drew down the revolving loan facility in the amount of US$4,635,630 (RMB30,000,000) simultaneously with a fixed annual interest rate of 7.89%. The loan facility granted to the Group from the same PRC bank for procuring raw materials was changed to US$ US$10,816,470 (RMB70,000,000) in June 2011, which was guaranteed by GC-Tech and four shareholders of the Company, and collateralized by the same amount of the Group’s accounts receivable as well as a related party's interest in 5 million shares of Wuhan HuaZhong Numerical Control Co., Ltd (A listed company in Growth Enterprise Market in China: 300161). The loan contains certain financial covenants, requiring the debt-to-asset ratio of the borrower, which is GC Nordic, not to exceed certain percentage for the duration of the loan. As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the Group was in compliance with all the covenant requirements under this loan agreement. On June 30, 2011, US$1,545,210 (RMB10,000,000) was available under the loan facility for future borrowing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2011, we do not have any outstanding guarantees. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, advance to suppliers, short-term borrowings, and warrants. The objective of our policies is to mitigate potential income statement, cash flow and fair value exposures resulting from possible future adverse fluctuations in rates. We evaluate our exposure to market risk by assessing the anticipated near-term and long-term fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. This evaluation includes the review of leading market indicators, discussions with financial analysts and investment bankers regarding current and future economic conditions and the review of market projections as to expected future rates.

Interest Rates . We did not experience any material changes in interest rate exposures during 2008, 2009 and 2010. Hence, the effect of the fluctuations of the interest rates is considered minimal to our business operations. Based upon economic conditions and leading market indicators at June 30, 2011, we do not foresee a significant adverse change in interest rates in the near future and do not use interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

Foreign Exchange Rates . The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. The RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Because substantially all of our earnings, cash and assets are denominated in RMB, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. As a result, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of our Chinese operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollar upon consolidation. If the U.S. dollar weakens against the RMB, the translation of our foreign-currency-denominated balances will result in increased net assets, net revenues, operating expenses, and net income or loss. Similarly, our net assets, net revenues, operating expenses, and net income or loss will decrease if the U.S. dollar strengthens against the RMB. Additionally, foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in RMB other than the functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations. Our operations are subject to risks typical of international business, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility.

Considering the RMB balance of our cash as of June 30, 2011, which amounted to US$5,045,712, a 1.0% change in the exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. dollar would result in an increase or decrease of approximately US$50,457 of the balance.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15a-15(e)) June 30, 2011 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. We have recruited some dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls, and have achieved a better level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. However, based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer along with our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses include the following:

 
i.
We lack additional personnel with the experience to properly analyze and record complex transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 
ii.
We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 
iii.
We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

 
iv.
We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is the management's view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over our financial statements.

 
v.
We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

Contract with Jilin Fengshen

Based on the sales contract of US$38,243,948 (RMB247.5 million) for 50 wind turbines entered into between the Group and a customer named Guoneng Fengshen on February 9, 2010, the Group delivered 50 wind turbines to Guoneng Fengshen as at December 31, 2010 and recognized the related revenue. These 50 wind turbines were slated for installation at the first phase of a new wind farm project undertaken by Jilin Fengshen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guoneng Fengshen who is in charge of running the wind farm. In 2011, a reputable large state-owned enterprise in PRC, acquired 51% equity interest of Jilin Fengshen from Guoneng Fengshen and became the controlling shareholder of Jilin Fengshen (the "Restructuring"). The Restructuring was completed during the second quarter of 2011. Subsequently, Jilin Fengshen requested and reached an amendment of the sales contract with the Group to renegotiate the contract value of the delivered turbines on May 28, 2011. Under the amendment, the Group agreed to grant a discount of US$4,189,605 (RMB26.7 million) to Jilin Fengshen.

Bank loan facility agreement from China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd.

On June 16, 2011, we , entered into a new bank loan facility with China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd., a local bank, under which we were granted a loan facility of RMB40 million (approximately US$6.2 million). On June 24, 2011, a tranche of US$4,582,140 was received under the loan facility.
