CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Reference is made in particular to the description of our plans and objectives for future operations, assumptions underlying such plans and objectives, and other forward-looking statements included in this report. Such statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of such terms, or the negative of such terms. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such statements address future events and conditions concerning, among others, capital expenditures, earnings, litigation, regulatory matters, liquidity and capital resources, and accounting matters. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements by reason of factors such as future economic conditions, changes in consumer demand, legislative, regulatory and competitive developments in markets in which we operate, results of litigation, and other circumstances affecting anticipated revenues and costs, and the risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed on April 1, 2011.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “dollars” and “$” are to United States dollars and, unless otherwise indicated, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “Group,” or the “Registrant” refer to GC China Turbine Corp., a Nevada corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Luckcharm Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong company, and GC Nordic New Energy Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), unless other noted.
YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report, including documents referenced by incorporation, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect or hope.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
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 Nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Group reported no sales and a net loss of US$10,230,988. 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.

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 September 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.
The Group’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:

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$2,498,215 and nil for the nine months ended September 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$3,991,339 (RMB26.7 million). As a result, the Group wrote off the accounts receivable in the amount of US$3,991,339 and recorded this as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, whereas nil of wrote-off of the accounts receivable was incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
In the third quarter of 2011, after a renegotiation with another customer, the Group granted a concession of accounts receivable in the amount of US$559,425, which was recorded in the general and administrative expenses.
As of September 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).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in US dollars, except share data)
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$807,154 was recorded as gain on change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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:

None of the above warrants had been exercised as of September 30, 2011.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the same period in 2010 are 11.29% and 27.97%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to this tax holiday.

There are 1,460,000 warrants excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 because their effects would be anti-dilutive. There are no anti-dilutive instruments excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
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. Pursuant to relevant SERC guidance policy about the LVRT function implementation, Management expects to complete the upgrade of the LVRT function by the end of June, 2012. According to the revised Jilin Fengshen project contract entered into between the Company and a customer on May 28,
2011, the Company will bear the potential cost relating to LVRT implementation. We have developed a theoretical 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, at this stage, the Company is still in the process of negotiation with relevant Chinese technology and research institutions and clients to work out a practical and specific solution, which resulted in the impossibility in making a reasonable estimate of relevant potential costs relating to the upgrade of LVRT function in the financial statements for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

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 enacted 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Due to these challenges in selling our 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines in China during 2011, we have endeavored to search for potential customers for these products in other countries, although the market situation is challenging and difficult. In addition, we have focused more effort on the construction of the Taonan Guoce factory (located in Jinlin province, northeastern China) in 2011. Due to the adverse impact of climate and winter weather of northeastern China, we expect that the steel construction engineering project for the factory would be completed by the end of 2011, while the factory would be operational by the end of June 2012. Moreover, we have made more efforts and conducted additional diligence on the research and development of a 2.5 MW wind turbine prototype design (including general assembly drawings, installation drawings, and parts drawings), which is expected to be completed and pass expert examination by the end of 2011. We expect that procurement contracts for the prototype parts will be signed and purchase of parts will commence in early 2012, and that the turbine prototype would be produced by August of 2012 and be installed for testing by September 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, we have commenced negotiations with potential customers about sales contracts for our future 2.5 MW wind turbine products and expect to enter into certain sales contracts by early 2012. Additionally, management has focused on taking effective measures to strengthen the collection of accounts receivable, which led to the collection of about US$8.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, in addition to the collection of US$ 6.3 million during the first six months of 2011.
History
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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On October 30, 2009, we completed reverse acquisition transaction through 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”). 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.
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 September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Revenues
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were nil compared to US$4,085,675 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. No wind turbines were sold in the third quarter of 2011 while 7 wind turbines were sold in the third 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, including 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, but such technology is expected to attain the endorsement of relevant China electric power research institute and China power grid by the end of 2011. 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 September 30, 2011.
Due to these challenges in selling our 1.0 MW and 1.1 MW wind turbines in China during 2011, we have endeavored to search for potential customers for these products in other countries, although the market situation is challenging and difficult. In addition, we have focused more effort on the construction of the Taonan Guoce factory (located in Jinlin province, northeastern China) in 2011. Due to the adverse impact of climate and winter weather of northeastern China, we expect that the steel construction engineering project for the factory would be completed by the end of 2011, while the factory would be operational by the end of June 2012. Moreover, we have made more efforts and conducted additional diligence on the research and development of a 2.5 MW wind turbine prototype design (including general assembly drawings, installation drawings, and parts drawings) , which is expected to be completed and pass expert examination by the end of 2011. We expect that procurement contracts for the prototype parts will be signed and purchase of parts will be launched in early 2012, and that the turbine prototype would be produced by August of 2012 and be installed for testing by September 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, we have commenced negotiations with potential customers about sales contracts for our future 2.5 MW wind turbine products and expect to enter into certain sales contracts by early 2012. 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 September 30, 2011 was nil, a decrease from US$3,092,019 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and attributable to our lack of wind turbine sales in the third 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.

No revenue has been generated in the third quarter of 2011. Therefore the cost and gross margin are zero.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 (continued)
Operating expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by US$511,906 from US$644,313 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$132,407, due to the control of expenses including travelling expenses, marketing expenses, office supplies and other expenses during the current challenging period.
Research and development expenses were US$385,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$256,551 for the three months ended September 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 third quarter of 2011.
General and administrative expenses increased by US$1,150,349 from US$475,243 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$1,625,592 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This was mainly due to the provision expenses for the accounts receivable while no such expenses were incurred for the same period last year.
Interest expense
Interest expense was US$147,059 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$122,088 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of interest expense was mainly due to the short-term bank borrowings drawn down in late September 2011 and November 2010.
Interest income
Interest income was US$231,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$135,084 for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 (continued)
Gain from change in fair value of warrant liability
We recorded a gain on fair value change of US$335,746 of the warrant liability for the three months ended September 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$460,234 and US$795,980 as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The fair value change of US$335,746 was recorded as gain on change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2011.
Provision (benefit) for income tax
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was US$95,882 compared to income tax provision of US$64,950 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are 4.6% 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 September 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 September 30, 2011 was US$2,277,887 by a decrease of US$2,214,019 from net income attributable to shareholders of US$63,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This is mainly due to no revenue being generated, bad debt expenses and the doubtful debt provision expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Comparison of Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Revenues
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were nil compared to US$27,144,543 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. No wind turbines were sold in the first nine months of 2011 while 47 wind turbines were sold in the first nine months 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.

Operating expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by US$175,870 from US$778,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$602,598, due to the control of expenses including travelling expenses, marketing expenses, office supplies and other expenses during the current challenging period.
Research and development expenses were US$1,376,696 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$595,825 for the nine months ended September 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 turbines research. The increase was primarily attributable to the research and development activities of the 1.1MW and 2.5MW wind turbines during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
General and administrative expenses increased by US$6,690,157 from US$1,530,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$8,221,091 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was mainly due to the write-off of accounts receivable equivalents of approximately US$4.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Based on the sales contract of about US$38 million (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 million (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 million (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 nine months September 30, 2011. The other major contribution to the increase of these expenses is the increase in respect of the provision expenses of approximately US$1 million for the accounts receivable as compared to that of the same period last year.
In the third quarter of 2011, after a renegotiation with another customer, the Group granted a concession of accounts receivable in the amount of US$0.6 million, which was recorded in the general and administrative expenses.
Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was US$1,392,838 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In April 2011, the Group reached an agreement with the local PRC 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$267,585 from US$23,534 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$291,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was mainly due to the increase in unrestricted government subsidies from a local PRC government agency

Interest expense
Interest expense was US$606,860 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$148,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of interest expense was mainly due to the short-term bank borrowings drawn down in late June 2011 and November 2010.
Interest income
Interest income was US$537,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to US$204,380 for the nine months ended September 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 receivables’ 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 nine months ended September 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$460,234 and US$1,267,388 as of September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010. The warrant liability was reclassified into equity on January 1, 2011 and therefore, there was no fair value change for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Provision (benefit) for income tax
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was US$1,288,610 compared to income tax provision of US$1,311,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are 11.3% and 27.97%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to this tax holiday.
Net income attributable to shareholders
Net loss attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was US$10,230,988 by a decrease of US$13,692,402 from net income attributable to shareholders of US$3,461,414 for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of US$8,383,489, other current assets of US$46,428,802 and current liabilities of US$39,670,030. Other current assets included US$377,716 restricted cash used as security against bank drafts which are used as short-term instruments to reduce financing cost. As of September 30, 2011, our accounts receivable consisted of billed receivable of US$16,464,681 and unbilled receivable of US$23,514,198, net of bad debt provision of $2,498,215. As of the date of this Report, we collected US$16,096,432 billed receivable from customers during the nine months ended September 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 dividends 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 September 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 China’s Company Law, the founding 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 Growth Fund L.P. (“New Margin”), Ceyuan Ventures II, L.P. (“CV”) and Ceyuan Ventures Advisors Fund II, LLC (“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 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was US$4,412,283 compared with net cash used in operating activities of US$7,603,998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We collected US$15,894,429 of accounts receivable from products sold in the previous year. No wind turbines were delivered in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in the tax benefit and decreased income tax payable in the amount of US$1,288,504. 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 decreased accounts payable in amount of US$147,177, increased inventories in amount of US$1,121,313, and increased other current liabilities in amount of US$4,412,283, attributable to VAT payable. Notes payable increased by US$567,127, mainly due to the maturity of commercial acceptance notes issued in 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, US$147,177 was used to settle accounts payable with vendors and acquire certain spare parts, US$1,084,242 was paid for staff compensation and social welfare, US$3,280,100 in other operating expenses, and US$15,894,429 was received from our customers, government subsidy in the amount of US$291,119 was received from a local government agency.
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$2,412,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with net cash used in investing activities of US$4,202,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the decrease in restricted cash of US$2,234,027, collection of nine months term deposit of US$1,078,782 when due, collection of US$462,335 from related parties and collection of US$120,797 from a third party during the first six months of 2011, and offset by purchase of equipment and intangible assets of US$1,467,029.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was US$441,476 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 representing a decrease of US$9,568,216 compared with US$9,126,740 in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This was mainly due to the repayment of a loan of US$9,246,705 and repayment of short-term borrowings to related parties of US$7,378,910, offset by additional borrowings of US$4,623,351 from a local bank and borrowings of US$11,560,788 from related parties during the nine months ended September 30, 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 the 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 a certain percentage for the duration of the loan. As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, the Group was in compliance with all the covenant requirements under this loan agreement. On September 30, 2011, US$1,545,210 (RMB10,000,000) was available under the loan facility for future borrowing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 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 September 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 September 30, 2011, which amounted to US$8,383,489, 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$83,835 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)) as of September 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 September 30, 2011 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. The material weakness includes the following:
|
i.
|
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.
|
We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to this material weakness and expect to implement changes in the near term, including appointing an audit committee comprised of independent directors and identifying an audit committee financial expert, such actions all in an attempt to potentially mitigate the foregoing material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we have taken the following steps to address our prior material weaknesses: we have added additional personnel with experience to properly analyze and record complex transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP; we have dedicated additional resources and experienced personnel to review and design our internal controls; we have attained an optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions; and we have performed 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 in our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as noted above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 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.
