INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 
Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On September 15, 2009, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of WindTamer Corporation (the "Company"), in consultation with the Company's Board of Directors, determined that the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, appearing in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, should no longer be relied on because of an accounting error in such financial statements.  The accounting error related to the failure to disclose a material agreement, an Option Agreement between the Company and Alternative Wind Resources, LLC, dated April 29, 2009 (the “Option Agreement”) and a payment received pursuant to the Option Agreement.
 
In note 7 to the financial statements (Commitments and Contingencies), the Company had previously failed to disclose the Option Agreement, and incorrectly described a $10,000 payment received pursuant to the Option Agreement as an advancement of expenses pursuant to a separate agreement with Alternative Wind Resources, LLC.  The Company has updated footnote 7 to properly described the Option Agreement and the $10,000 payment.

Other than the changes to note 7 described above, the accounting error had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements have been updated to evaluate and disclose subsequent events occurring between the date of the original filing on August 10, 2009, and the amended filing on September 16, 2009.
 
The Company has made the aforementioned adjustments and has filed restated interim financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A on September 16, 2009.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has assessed the impact of the accounting error on the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and has determined that notwithstanding the accounting error and given limited scope of the error, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.  The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has discussed the matters disclosed in this report with Rotenberg & Co. LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
