PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate Overview
We are a development stage company in the business of
electrical power generation through the use of wind energy. We have not
generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation. We do not
anticipate earning any revenue until the completion of an environmental
assessment on our properties, securing a power purchase agreement and erecting
wind turbines on our properties of which there is no guarantee.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 25,
2005. Our resident agent is Empire Stock Transfer Inc., 2470 Saint Rose Parkway,
Suite 304, Henderson, NV 89704.
Recent Corporate Developments
Since the completion of our fiscal quarter ended February 28,
2008, we have experienced the following significant corporate developments:
Keewatin Windpower Corp. is participating in the Saskatchewan Wind Power
Integration and Development study. At the invitation of Saskpower, Keewatin and
Sky Harvest Windpower Corp. have provided their data to Genivar, a Calgary based
engineering firm, who will conduct the study on behalf of the utilities to
define a productive plan for wind power in Saskatchewan.
Our Business
Keewatin Windpower Corp. intends to become a wind energy
electrical generation company, known in the industry as an independent power
producer. To date, the Company has assessed wind speed data gathered and issued
by Environment Canada, a department of the Canadian government, in order to
locate areas in the province of Saskatchewan that have the best wind potential.
In June 2005, the Companys President, Chris Craddock, attended various
locations in Saskatchewan to personally assess properties that possess promising
wind resources. In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with
Edward and Charlotte Bothner which provides the right to erect
- 2 -
a meteorological tower ("MET") on certain land that comprises
640 acres located in south-western Saskatchewan situated near the town of
Beechy. The contract was entered into in order to erect a meteorological tower
for the purposes of determining the feasibility of constructing wind turbines on
this land. The Company erected this tower on the property in early October 2005.
The Company owns the wind data gathered from the property. The Company pays $500
annually to Mr. and Mrs. Bothner for this right. To date the Company has not
executed an agreement with them to erect wind turbines on their property if a
sufficient wind resource is discovered.
The number of turbines that can economically occupy an acre of
land depends upon a variety of factors including predominant wind direction,
topography and property dimensions. The Company intends to erect a 50 megawatt
wind power project, which typically requires approximately 2,500 acres of land.
A megawatt is a unit of electrical power equal to one million watts. In order to
construct a project of this size, the Company would need to acquire the rights
to erect turbines on 2,500 acres that are located within two of the
meteorological towers.
Following the meteorological tower study of the Saskatchewan
property, the Company will have to negotiate a lease or further land access
agreement with the owners of the Saskatchewan property and/or surrounding
land-owners. Typical lease agreements in the sector provide the landowner with
annual payments based on the number of turbines erected. In order for a wind
power project to be profitable, the Company needs to identify a wind resource
that yields a capacity factor of over 30%. The capacity factor, sometimes
referred to as the load factor, of a wind project is the energy produced during
a given period divided by the energy that would have been produced had the
project been running continually and at maximum output, e.g.:
Capacity Factor = electricity
production during the period (MWH)installed capacity (MW)x number of hours in
period (h)Since wind energy output is the cube of the wind speed, the number of
hours at higher wind speeds is significantly more important than additional
hours at lower wind speeds.
In September 2005, the Company purchased a meteorological tower
and in October 2005, assembled and erected the tower on the Saskatchewan
property in order to directly assess the property's potential for an operating
wind power project. The Company has completed the 12 month MET assessment to
determine whether the property possesses sufficient wind to justify the erection
of wind turbines. This study concluded the viability of the wind resource to
provide sufficient yield of electricity. Prior to generating any revenue,
Keewatin must accomplish the following business objectives:
|
1. |
Enter into lease agreements with land owners in proximity
to the study tower. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Enter into agreements for the purchase and sale of the
electric power generated by the turbines and for the erection of wind
turbines on the land; and |
|
|
|
|
3. |
Purchase and erect turbines on the property and arrange
for the connection of those turbines to Saskatchewan's electrical
grid. |
We have determined that the Saskatchewan property has a wind
resource that warrants the erection of wind turbines. We must now negotiate a
lease, purchase or further land access agreement with the landowners and/or
surrounding land owners of the Saskatchewan property. Currently, all land owners
in the area have indicated their preference to retain ownership of their lands
and enter into a lease arrangement with us, although we have not reached any
formal agreement in this regard. Accordingly, we do not expect to incur any
expenses in connection with acquiring a property interest until the wind towers
have been erected. Annual land lease costs are estimated to be $60,000.
To erect wind turbines on the Keewatin property, at an
anticipated cost of $115,000,000, we expect to raise up to 75%, or approximately
$86,250,000 by way of debt financing and 25%, or approximately $28,750,000
through the sale of our common stock. Additional funds will be required to
develop the Sky Harvest property following the completion of our acquisition of
Sky Harvest.
Project costs have risen with the global increase in commodity
prices. Turbine prices are affected by increases in the costs of steel and
transportation. Current costs are reflecting 2008 price estimates and are likely
to increase again before project development. Management intends to mitigate
these increases in the price of power requested.

Wind Power Development in Saskatchewan
The Company has chosen to develop a wind power project in the
southwest region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan due to the area's wind
potential, government's acceptance of wind power projects and the ease of
electricity transmission. Data from the MET will continue to be collected for
further validation of the wind resource. The twelve month study period has
produced data that has been assessed and correlated with other study towers in
the area. This work has been carried out by the independent engineering company
that erected the MET.
Another significant factor is the property's proximity to the
province's electrical transmission lines. The Company must pay to connect any
wind turbines to this transmission line. These connection costs are typically
justified if the property is within 15 miles of the transmission line. The
Saskatchewan property is located approximately two miles from the nearest
transmission line. The most important criteria for a wind power project is the
speed of the wind on a property, measured in meters per second, combined with
the number of hours that the wind moves at various speeds. This calculation is
referred to as the capacity of the wind resource.
The Company is also focusing on Saskatchewan due to its Open
Access Transmission Tariff, which allows power producers to transmit electricity
via the province's electrical grid throughout Saskatchewan and to neighbouring
jurisdictions. This is expected to allow the Company to potentially access a
broader base of customers seeking electricity. Currently, Saskatchewan has three
wind power projects in operation.
Wind Assessment
In October 2005, the Company erected a MET on the Saskatchewan
property to record various data, including wind speed, wind direction,
temperature, and barometric pressure every ten minutes. As part of this process,
the Company retained a meteorologist who selected the specific site on the
property for the MET, oversaw the erection of the MET and will monitor and
interpret the data recorded by the MET.
The one year wind assessment study was completed in early
October 2006.Data will continue to be collected indefinitely. In order to obtain
debt financing from a financial institution for a wind power project, financial
institutions require a complete year of MET wind data from the property as well
as an executed power purchase agreement with a credit worthy counterparty. While
the Company has not had any specific communications with any representative of a
debt financing institution, financiers have indicated, on an informal basis,
that the 12 month wind study requirement is standard in the industry.
The Company has made a determination, based upon wind data to
date from the MET, that the Saskatchewan property contains a wind resource
sufficient to justify the erection of a wind power project.
Power Purchase Agreement
Following completion of the MET study, the Company intends to
enter into an agreement, known as a power purchase agreement, to sell the
electricity that will be generated from the proposed wind power project. Power
purchase agreements include clauses regarding the price to be paid for the
electricity in cents per kilowatt-hour, the term of the agreement (typically 20
or more years), terms of interconnection costs and termination provisions.
The Company intends to sell the electricity that is produced to
a utility located in the province of Saskatchewan, in the neighbouring provinces
of Alberta or Manitoba, or in North Dakota. The Company has not entered into any
discussions with potential power purchasers and cannot be assured that an
agreement will be reached on acceptable terms.
If the Company is to reach a power purchase agreement with a
third party, it then intends to undertake the construction of a wind power
project on the property. Banks and other lenders will typically finance up to
75% of wind power construction costs subject to review of the wind assessment
data and the power purchase agreement. The lender will ensure the project has
sound fiscal parameters necessary to be profitable, namely the price to be
received per megawatt hour and the number of megawatts of rated capacity. The
Company has not had any specific communications with any representative of a
debt financing institution regarding the proposed wind power project.
- 4 -
The Company intends to raise the remaining required funding
from the sale of its common stock. No arrangements are in place for such
financing.
Acquisition of Sky Harvest Windpower Corp.
The Company entered into a letter agreement dated March 26,
2007 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sky Harvest
Windpower Corp. ("Sky Harvest") a private Canadian company incorporated under
the federal laws of Canada. Sky Harvest holds the rights to construct a wind
power facility on approximately 8,500 acres of land located in south-western
Saskatchewan. Sky Harvest has completed a wind resource assessment on the
property that demonstrates that the potential wind resource greatly exceeds the
minimum capacity factor necessary to justify the planning and construction of a
150 megawatt wind power project. The assessment was completed by Phoenix
Engineering Inc. of Calgary, Alberta. Current directors of Keewatin own 53% of
Sky Harvests issued and outstanding shares.
Golder Associates Ltd, also of Calgary, is presently in the
process of completing the necessary environmental assessment and permitting of
the property. Sky Harvest has also commenced initial discussions regarding the
potential sale of electricity that would be generated by a wind power
facility.
Participation by Sky Harvest in Saskatchewans Wind Power
Integration study, conducted by Genivar has begun with the submission of data to
the study.
In order to acquire a 100% interest in Sky Harvest Windpower
Corp., Keewatin has agreed to issue a total of 17,343,516 restricted shares of
common stock to the shareholders of Sky Harvest, equating to 1.5 shares of
common stock in the capital of Keewatin for every currently issued common share
of Sky Harvest. The acquisition is subject to Sky Harvest completing an audit of
its financial statements, Keewatin changing its name to "Sky Harvest Windpower
Corp." and shareholders of both companies approving the acquisition agreement.
Keewatin has engaged Stirling Mercantile Corporation to prepare a fairness
opinion concerning the transaction. Keewatins Board of Directors anticipates
that the fairness opinion will support the terms of the proposed acquisition
whereby it will issue 1.5 shares of its common stock for each currently issued
share of Sky Harvest, representing an aggregate of 17,343,516 shares
Competitive Business Conditions
The wind power and alternative energy businesses are currently
experiencing a strong growth phase in Canada. Several developers with existing
generating facilities and new developers with current land holdings are engaged
in the same business that the Company has entered. The Company will be competing
with other independent power producers for transmission and supply contracts. As
well, coal and oil and gas producers in the region are able to generate and
supply electricity to customers at a less expensive price.
The Company's competitive advantage is expected to be providing
electricity generated without greenhouse gas emissions to customers. In 2004,
the Canadian government executed the Kyoto Accord, an international treaty
whereby countries mutually agree to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases they
emit. In order to meet their obligations under the Kyoto Accord, many Canadian
utilities must reduce the consumption of electricity generated by fossil fuels
such as coal and oil and find environmental alternatives such as wind generated
power. However, if electricity purchasers are not prepared to pay higher prices
for wind generated power, the Company's ability to execute a power purchase
agreement that will result in its profitability will be questionable.
Principal Suppliers
The main component of a wind power project is the wind
turbines. The wind power business is global with the majority of turbines being
manufactured in Europe and the United States. Supply to Canada has usually been
from either Vestas Wind Systems or General Electric Energy. Both of these
companies have corporate offices in Canada. However, wind turbine supply is
currently scarce due to the small total number of wind turbine suppliers and
high demand.
- 5 -
Government Approvals and Environmental Laws
In order to erect turbines on a property, the Company may need
to apply for and obtain municipal permits relating to zoning and building. Until
the Company determines the exact location of the property on which to erect
turbines, it will not know the specific permitting requirements for its project.
However, all of the proposed sites for the wind power project are not near any
significant population centers.
The creation of a wind power project will also involve the
excavation of portions of the land and the installation of concrete platforms
below the land surface. Before the Company commences this, it will need to
obtain environmental approval from the Saskatchewan provincial government. Any
development of this nature is subject to the provisions of the Saskatchewan
Environmental Assessment Act. This Act requires that prior to commencing the
construction of a wind power project the Company must receive approval from
Saskatchewan's Ministry of the Environment. The Company must apply for approval
by completing an environmental impact assessment and statement, as well as by
providing public notice of the proposed development. After the public review,
usually a 30 day period which may involve public meetings, the Ministry makes a
final decision regarding the project. An approval may include a number of
conditions to reduce environmental impact.
The Company anticipates that the cost of complying with all
environmental laws will cost approximately $150,000. Recent changes to
environmental assessments have increased the costs of these programs. The
Company has not applied for any government approvals to date.
Employees
The Company has no employees other than its officers and
directors as of the date of this annual report.
Research and Development Expenditures
The Company has not incurred any other research or development
expenditures since its incorporation.
Subsidiaries
The Company does not have any subsidiaries as at the date of
their fiscal year end.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company does not own, either legally or beneficially, any
patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
We file reports and other information with the SEC. The
registration statement, historical information about our company and other
information can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Room of the SEC
located at Room 1580, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549. Copies of such
materials, including copies of any portion of the registration statement, can be
obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC at prescribed rates. You can
call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 to obtain information on the operation of the
Public Reference Room. Such materials may also be accessed electronically by
means of the SECs home page on the Internet (http://www.sec.gov).
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to our Business
If we do not obtain additional financing our business will
fail.
Over the next 12 months, we anticipate spending $300,000 on
administrative costs, including management fees payable to our President and
Directors, professional fees and general business expenses, including costs
related to
- 6 -
complying with filing obligations as a reporting company. As
our operations become more complex, it is anticipated that these costs will
increase.
To erect wind turbines on the property, at an anticipated cost
of $115,000,000, we expect to raise up to 75%, or approximately $250,000 by way
of debt financing and 25%, or approximately $28,750,000 through the sale of
common stock. It is unlikely that we will be able to make arrangements for debt
financing until our environmental assessment is completed, which is not expected
to occur until 2009 subject to the negotiation of a power purchase agreement
with a credit worthy counter-party.
Cash on hand will not cover these costs. We will need to
acquire additional financing in order to cover remaining business costs. We do
not currently have any arrangements for financing and may not be able to find
such financing if required. The most likely sources of future funds that will be
available to us are through debt financing and through the issuance of equity
capital. We will only be able to secure debt financing for wind turbines if it
is able to prove that an economic wind resource exists on a property that is
acquired and that we have negotiated a power purchase agreement with a credit
worthy counter-party. We do not have any arrangements in place for debt
financing nor for the sale of our securities.
Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a
high risk of business failure.
We have not yet commenced business operations as an independent
power producer; accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our
business will be successful. We were incorporated on February 25, 2005 and to
date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and wind
assessment of the Saskatchewan property on which we have erected a
meteorological tower.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties
normally encountered by development stage companies and the high rate of failure
of such enterprises. Prior to earning revenue, of which there is no assurance,
we will likely incur significant costs and expect to incur significant losses in
the foreseeable future. If we are unable to acquire a property interest and
erect a wind farm on our property, we will not earn profits nor be able to
continue operations.
Because our continuation as a going concern is in doubt, we
will be forced to cease business operations unless we can generate profitable
operations in the future.
We incurred losses since our inception. Further losses are
anticipated in the development of our business. As a result, there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate
profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to
meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they come due. If we cannot raise financing to meet our
obligations, we will be insolvent and will cease business operations.
If we are not able to obtain an interest in a suitable
property with a potential wind resource, our business will fail.
We have entered into an agreement to operate a meteorological
tower on a property in south-western Saskatchewan to determine whether it
possesses a sufficient wind resource to justify the erection of wind turbines.
However, we do not have an arrangement where it may erect turbines on the
property if it contains an economic wind resource. Even if we are able to reach
an agreement to acquire an interest in this property, we may not be able to
obtain the financing necessary to complete the lease or purchase. If we are
unable to acquire a suitable property interest, our business will fail.
Future changes in weather patterns could negatively impact
our business, reducing potential profitability or causing our business to
fail.
Changes in weather patterns may affect our ability to operate a
wind power project on any property we acquires. Wind data that we collect from a
meteorological tower may vary from results actually achieved when a wind turbine
is installed. Changing global environmental and weather conditions may also
affect the reliability of the data relating to a property.
- 7 -
Any wind farm that we develop, no matter where it is located,
would be subject to variations in wind and changes in worldwide climatic
conditions. Sudden or unexpected changes in environmental and meteorological
conditions could reduce the productivity of our wind farm. Climatic weather
patterns, whether seasonal or for an extended period of time, resulting in
lower, inadequate and/or inconsistent wind speed to propel the wind turbines may
render our wind parks incapable of generating adequate, or any, electrical
energy.
Our ability to erect turbines on a property in Saskatchewan
will be contingent upon it obtaining environmental and municipal permits. If it
cannot acquire these permits, our business will fail.
In order to erect turbines on the Saskatchewan property, we
must excavate portions of the land and install concrete platforms below surface.
Before we commence this, we will need to obtain environmental and municipal
permits from the Saskatchewan provincial government and the town responsible for
the property interest it acquires. Depending on environmental impact, our
proposed land disturbance may be unacceptable to these government bodies. In
addition, the turbines themselves may be seen to have a negative impact on bird
migration patterns or on the aesthetics of the region. These factors may prevent
us from obtaining necessary permits. In such circumstances, we would be forced
to abandon our business plan.
If we cannot find a party from which we can purchase
electricity on acceptable terms, we will not be able to establish a wind power
project and our business will fail.
Even if we demonstrate a significant wind resource on a
property that we acquire, we may not be able to secure a purchaser for any
electricity that we produce on acceptable terms. Without a purchaser for
electricity from a property, we will not be able to proceed with our business
plan.
Because all of our assets and a majority of our directors
and officers are located in Canada, U.S. residents' enforcement of legal process
may be difficult.
All of our officers and directors reside in Canada. As well,
all of our assets are located in Canada. Accordingly, service of process upon
our company, or upon individuals related to Keewatin, may be difficult or
impossible to obtain within the United States. As well, any judgment obtained in
the United States against us may not be collectible within the United
States.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our
ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to
continue operations and we may go out of business.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could
result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in
our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant
portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through
the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could
be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause
investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the
funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may force us to
reallocate funds from other planned uses which may have a significant negative
effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new
products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may
suffer and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be
able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through
the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result
in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up
to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of
directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more
businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any
such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional
- 8 -
shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the
proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further,
such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and
sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it
difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Trading in stock quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations
in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our
operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price
of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover,
the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the
OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed
on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the American Stock
Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of
their shares.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be
restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and FINRAs sales practice
requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange
Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per
share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors. The term
accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of
$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer
quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must
be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction
and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers
confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is
a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock
that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock
rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We
believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit
the marketability of, our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a
stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for a discussion of penny stock
rules), FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a
broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is
suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative
low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA
requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their
customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Future Financings
We recorded a net operating loss of $257,069 for the year ended
May 31, 2008 and have an accumulated deficit of $762,121 since inception. As at
May 31, 2008 we had cash and short term investments totaling $1,367,367 and for
the next 12 months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to
fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be
$300,000 excluding costs of constructing the wind turbine. Accordingly we have
sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures over the next 12 months,
however, we will need further financing in order to meet our anticipated
expenses for the construction of the proposed wind turbine.
We have begun sourcing equity financing to cover the balance of
the anticipated costs for the next 12 months and anticipated costs relating to
the erection of wind turbines. Until such financing is arranged, we intend to
rely on the proceeds of a recent financing concluded in July, 2007 for net
proceeds of approximately $1,163,000 to cover the cost of operations before the
erection of wind turbines. We have not had any specific communications with any
representative of a debt financing institution regarding our proposed wind power
project. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that it will be able to raise 75% of
required funds through debt financing.
We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and may
not be able to find such financing if required. The most likely sources of
future funds that will be available to us are through debt financing and through
the issuance of equity capital. We will only be able to secure debt financing
for wind turbines if we are able to prove that an economic wind resource exists
on a property that is acquired and that we have negotiated a power purchase
agreement with a credit worthy counter-party. We do not have any arrangements in
place for debt financing nor for the sale of our securities.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is
no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities
or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our exploration and development
activities during the next 12 month period.
- 13 -
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS 163 requires that an
insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default
when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured
financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial
guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be
used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management
activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management
activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period
beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is
not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources
of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. It is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB Statement
No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business
Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in
a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more
businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the
date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to
recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values
as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent
consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.
This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities
an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
- 14 -
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect
the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities
with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15,
2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that
begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply
the provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of
this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108
addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be
considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements.
SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet
and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in
quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and
qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after
November 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This statement
requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets
of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to
measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of
financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are
effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of
the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company currently has no
such employee plans and does not expect to ever institute such plans. The
adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and
comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and
does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157
are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax
position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second,
measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized
in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of
such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on
derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Keewatin
Windpower Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Keewatin
Windpower Corp. (the Company) as of May 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related
statements of operation, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the
years then ended and for the period August 26, 1998 (inception) to May 31, 2008.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Keewatin
Windpower corp. as of May 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operation
and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period August 26, 1998
(inception) to May 31, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Companys losses from operations raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Keewatin Windpower Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in US Dollars)
1. |
Organization and Description of Business |
|
|
|
|
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
February 25, 2005. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.7 Accounting
and Reporting for Development Stage Companies. Its activities to date
have been limited to capital formation, organization, and development of
its business plan for the exploration and development of wind power
projects in Canada. |
|
|
|
|
These financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid
any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the
immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a
going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its
shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity
financing to continue operations, the successful exploitation of
economically recoverable electricity in its wind power projects, and the
attainment of profitable operations. As at May 31, 2008, the Company has
accumulated losses of $762,121 since inception. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern. |
|
|
|
|
Management plans to raise additional funds through debt
and equity offerings. Management has yet to decide what type of offering
the Company will use or how much capital the Company will attempt to
raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any
capital through any type of offering. On July 27, 2007 the Company
completed a private placement consisting of 1,075,000 shares of common
stock at $1.20 per share for cash proceeds of $1,290,000. Finders fees of
$126,750 cash and 1,000,000 share purchase warrants entitling the holder
to acquire an additional share of common stock for $2.50 were paid related
to this placement. |
|
|
|
|
During the year ended May 31, 2007, $500,500 was received
in stock subscriptions from another private placement. The offering
consisted of up to 715,000 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share for
proceeds of $500,500. The Company paid a 10% finders fee consisting of
71,500 shares of common stock. During the year ended May 31, 2008, the
Company issued all 1,861,500 shares relating to the two private
placements. |
|
|

Significant Accounting Polices |
|
|
|
|
a. |
Basis of Accounting |
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a May 31,
year-end. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Cash Equivalents |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. |
|
|
|
|
c. |
Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
|
|
The fair values of financial instruments, which include
cash, short term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
and due to related party approximate their carrying values due to the
relatively short maturity of these instruments. |
|
|
|
|
d. |
Equipment |
|
|
|
|
|
Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is computed
using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
depreciable property, which range from 3 to 5 years. Management evaluates
useful lives regularly in order to determine recoverability taking into
consideration current technological conditions. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred; additions and betterments are
capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal of any item of equipment, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation of the disposed assets is
removed, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to
operations. |

Significant Accounting Polices (continued) |
|
|
|
|
e. |
Long Lived Assets |
|
|
|
|
|
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets or
asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances
which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant
decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in
the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly
in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or
construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses
combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses
associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the
asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before
the end of its estimated useful life. |
|
|
|
|
|
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount
of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the
sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the
eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain
instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is
not recoverable and exceeds fair value. |
|
|
|
|
f. |
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
|
|
Income taxes are provided in accordance with SFAS 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is
recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting
and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit)
results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and
rates on the date of enactment. |
|
|
|
|
g. |
Foreign Currency Translation |
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the
United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at
the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or
settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are
included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are
primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date
of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to
offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
|
|
|
|
h. |
Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share |
|
|
|
|
|
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share", which specifies the computation, presentation
and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities
with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128 supersedes the provisions of
APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per
share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective February 25, 2005
(inception). |
|
|
|
|
|
Basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed
by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same
as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in
the Company. |
|
|
|
|
i. |
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods
presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
|
|
Significant estimates made by management are, among

Stock-Based Compensation |

|
|
|
The Company records stock-based compensation in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the
fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the
consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are
accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the
fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the
services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on
the fair value of the equity instruments issued. |

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.
SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability
prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also
clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance
contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account
for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises
risk-management activities. SFAS 163 requires that disclosures about the
risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for
the first period beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures,
earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial
statements. |
|
|
|
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial
statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a)
how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133
and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys
financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R,
Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and
defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains
control of one or more businesses in a business combination and
establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves
control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date.
SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration
at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This
statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
Liabilities an Amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51
to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This
statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial
statements. |

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159
apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the
amendment to SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available-for-sale
and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of
an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on
or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the
provision of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The adoption
of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements. SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year
uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires
companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income
statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in
quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending
after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,
and 132(R). This statement requires employers to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
(other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its
statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income
of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a
not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to
measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions
of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity
securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15,
2006. The Company currently has no such employee plans and does not expect
to ever institute such plans. The adoption of this statement did not have
a material effect on the Company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new
fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for
fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements. |
|
|
|
In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating
whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition
threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount
of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides
guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified
statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN
48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The
adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements. |

Income Taxes |
|
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using
the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Income tax expense differs from the amount that
would result from applying the U.S federal and state income tax rates to
earnings before income taxes. The Company has a net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $396,613 available to offset taxable income
in future years which expires in fiscal 2028. Pursuant to SFAS 109, the
potential benefit of the net operating loss carryforward has not been
recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured
that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in
future years. |

Deferred income taxes reflect the net
tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the
recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The
significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at May 31,
2008 are as follows:

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the
deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is
more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.
The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change
and which cause a change in management's judgment about the realizability
of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation
allowance is generally reflected in current income. |

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Companys principal executive officer
and principal financial officer evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as
of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on
this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period
covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed
by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include
controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
B.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment,
including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control Integrated
Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its
inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements.
Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were
effective as of May 31, 2008.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions
and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of
our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not
subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm
pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only
managements report in this Annual Report.
C.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive
officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial
ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their
ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5
respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders
are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section
16(a) reports that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received
by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe
that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater
than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the
following:

Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics but intend to do so in
the near future.
Corporate Governance
Nominating and Compensation Committees
We do not have standing nominating or compensation committees,
or committees performing similar functions. Our board of directors believe that
it is not necessary to have a standing compensation committee at this time
because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by our board of
directors.
- 16 -
Our board of directors also is of the view that it is
appropriate for us not to have a standing nominating committee because our board
of directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a
nominating committee. Our board of directors has not adopted a charter for the
nomination committee. There has not been any defined policy or procedure
requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for
directors. Our board of directors does not believe that a defined policy with
regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is
necessary at this time because we believe that, given the early stages of our
development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little
assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level. There are
no specific, minimum qualifications that our board of directors believes must be
met by a candidate recommended by our board of directors. The process of
identifying and evaluating nominees for director typically begins with our board
of directors soliciting professional firms with whom we have an existing
business relationship, such as law firms, accounting firms or financial advisory
firms, for suitable candidates to serve as directors. It is followed by our
board of directors review of the candidates resumes and interview of
candidates. Based on the information gathered, our board of directors then makes
a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. We
do not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or
assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominee.
Audit Committee
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time.
Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that
qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(h) of
Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as independent as
the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing
and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and
procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does
not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe
that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the
board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent
director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be
overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the
early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any
revenues from operations to date.
Other Committees
All proceedings of our board of directors for the year ended
May 31, 2008 were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by our
directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of
directors. Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit
committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have
a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of
directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this
time, because they can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural
requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for
directors. Our directors believe that, given the stage of our development, a
specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our
business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not
currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to
the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for
evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors will assess all candidates,
whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for
election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of
directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President,
at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.
In the following table, we have determined the number and
percentage of shares beneficially owned in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the
Exchange Act based on information provided to us by our controlling shareholder,
executive officers and directors, and this information does not necessarily
indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In determining the number
of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage
ownership of that person, we include any shares as to which the person has sole
or shared voting power or investment power, as well as any shares subject to
warrants or options held by that person that are currently exercisable or
exercisable within 60 days.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC
rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to
securities. Shares of common stock exercisable or convertible within 60
days, would be counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the
person holding such options or warrants but not counted as outstanding for
computing the percentage of any other person. |

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain
Control Persons
Other than as listed below, we have not entered into or
participated in any transactions or a series of similar transactions, wherein
the amount involved exceeded $120,000 or one percent of our total assets at year
end for the last three completed fiscal years, in which any of our officers,
directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or
more of our common stock, family members of these persons or any related person
of our company had a direct or indirect material interest.
1. |
The Company entered into a letter agreement dated March
26, 2007 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Sky Harvest Windpower Corp. ("Sky Harvest") a private Canadian company
incorporated under the federal laws of Canada. Sky Harvest holds the
rights to construct a wind power facility on approximately 8,500 acres of
land located in south-western Saskatchewan. Sky Harvest has completed a
wind resource assessment on the property that demonstrates that the
potential wind resource greatly exceeds the minimum capacity factor
necessary to justify the planning and construction of a 150 megawatt wind
power project. The assessment was completed by Phoenix Engineering Inc. of
Calgary, Alberta. Current directors of Keewatin own 53% of Sky Harvests
issued and outstanding shares. The current directors of Keewatin are also
the directors of Sky Harvest. |
|
|
2. |
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal
property. A director provides office services without charge. Such costs
are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been
reflected therein. |
|
|
3. |
During the year ended May 31, 2008, the Company has
incurred $45,000 (May 31, 2007 - $7,500) in management fees provided by a
director and principal shareholder of the Company. As at May 31, 2008, the
Company has prepaid management fees of $5,000. As at May 31, 2008, the
Company owes this director $45,100 in management fees incurred prior to
May 31, 2007. There are no specified terms of repayment on the accrued
amount. |
|
|
4. |
During the year ended May 31, 2008, other directors were
paid $43,750 (May 31, 2007 - $NIL) in management
fees. |
- 21 -
Director independence
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC bulletin board
interdealer quotation system, which does not have director independence
requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be
independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the
corporation. We do not have any independent directors.
As a result of our limited operating history and limited
resources, our management believes that we will have difficulty in attracting
independent directors. in addition, we would be likely be required to obtain
directors and officers insurance coverage in order to attract and retain
independent directors. our management believes that the costs associated with
maintaining such insurance is prohibitive at this time.
Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and
Change in Control Arrangements
We have not entered into an employment agreement or consulting
agreement with our board of directors and executive officers:
Pension, Retirement or Similar Benefit Plans
There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension,
retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no
material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash
compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except
that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors or
a committee thereof.
We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration
received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such
officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation,
retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a
change of control, where the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per
executive officer.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
Audit Fees
For the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate fees
billed by Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D., for professional services rendered for the
audit of our annual consolidated financial statements included in our annual
report on Form 10-K were:
Audit Related Fees
For the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate fees
billed for assurance and related services by Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. relating
to the performance of the audit of our financial statements which are not
reported under the caption "Audit Fees" above, was:
- 22 -
Tax Fees
For the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate fees
billed by Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. for other non-audit professional services,
other than those services listed above, totalled:
We do not use Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. for financial
information system design and implementation. These services, which include
designing or implementing a system that aggregates source data underlying the
financial statements or generates information that is significant to our
financial statements, are provided internally or by other service providers. We
do not engage Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. to provide compliance outsourcing
services.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission
adopted rules that require that before Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph. D. is engaged by
us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement
be:
-
approved by our board of directors who are capable of analyzing and
evaluating financials, etc.; or
-
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established
by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed
as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each
service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the
board of directors' responsibilities to management.
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by
our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and
approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective
services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of
fees billed by Lancaster & David and believes that the provision of services
for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Chang G.
Parks independence.
