~~As previously~~Officer ~~announced,~~Resignation: On ~~the~~April ~~Company~~22, ~~had~~2011, ~~signed~~Timothy aH. ~~non-binding~~Simons ~~term~~also ~~sheet~~submitted ~~with iStreet~~his ~~Global~~written ~~for~~resignation ~~$37.5~~as ~~million~~the inChief ~~project~~Operating ~~debt~~Officer ~~financing~~of ~~for~~ the Company~~'s 19.5~~, MWeffective ~~Gascoyne~~as Iof ~~wind~~May ~~project in Bowman County~~31, ~~North Dakota~~2011. ~~The financing~~ ~~was expected to be completed on or around June 15, 2010~~Mr. On ~~June 7,~~Simons ~~2010,~~stated ~~iStreet Global announced on its internet site~~ that ithis ~~“is~~resignation ~~not~~was ~~accepting any~~based ~~applications for direct lending until further notice,” and~~ on ~~June~~his 8,desire ~~2010, the Company was notified by iStreet Global that the lender had elected not~~ to ~~proceed~~ ~~with the proposed Gascoyne I financing~~retire.

The Company is in negotiations with several groups who have expressed interest in financing the Company's three shovel-ready projects, including the Gascoyne I project, the Elgin project and the Wibaux project. The Company is also in negotiations with a number of entities who have expressed interest in purchasing one or more of the Company's projects. As previously reported, although the Company has shifted the focus of its business towards ownership and operation of merchant wind parks that it develops, it also intends to sell one to two developed projects per year for the purpose of covering corporate expenses until such time it is able to generate sufficient revenues and cash flow solely from the ownership and operation of wind parks. The Company believes that its attention to creating wind parks with grid interconnect capability makes its developed stable of projects very desirable to other companies with the financial wherewithal, because of theItem ~~scarcity of wind parks not requiring substantial upgrades to the existing grid~~9. ~~The sale~~01 of– some projects will allow the Company to reevaluate the strategies being used presently to acquire sufficient capital to own and operate the developed wind generating facilities. There can be no assurance, however, either that construction financing for any projects will be obtained or that buyers will be found for any projects.Exhibits
