Catch the Wind Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Quarter marked by start of commercialization phase of operations, corporate re-domestication and capital raise

Catch the Wind Ltd. (TSX-V: CTW), developer and manufacturer of the Vindicator® Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) and other wind sensor products, today reported its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Our second quarter was marked by a number of significant milestones that further demonstrate our progress as a public company and the commercial potential of our Vindicator® LWS,” said Phil Rogers, President and CEO of Catch the Wind, Inc. “Most notably, we entered into a sales agreement with BP Wind Energy and completed the re-domestication of the Company, a process that resulted in the removal of the .S from our trading symbol. These developments, coupled with a product sale to enXco and the certification program signed with a Germanischer Lloyd subsidiary subsequent to quarter end, clearly demonstrate that the focused execution of our strategy is producing positive results and generating increased interest from blue-chip customers and investors alike.”

Second Quarter Highlights

• Signed a sales agreement with BP Wind Energy, a leading owner and operator of wind power facilities with over 1,200 MW in commercial operation in the United States.
• Completed a corporate re-domestication to the Cayman Islands. The re-domestication was initiated for the purpose of achieving greater flexibility in potential future financings, and was not completed for any tax reason.
• Completed a process to remove the “.S” designation from the Company’s ticker symbol on the TSX Venture Exchange, resulting in the new symbol “CTW”.
• Completed a private placement of 2,576,000 units, each at a price of CDN $2.00, generating gross proceeds of CDN $5,152,000. The proceeds will be used for the further development, production and sales of the Company’s product lines and for general corporate purposes.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter End

• Signed a sales agreement with enXco, a leading company that develops, constructs, operates and manages renewable energy projects throughout North America.
• Signed an agreement with GL Renewables Certification, an independent certification body for renewable energies, to certify safety and performance of the Company’s Vindicator® LWS.
• Appointed Christopher Lowe, a senior financial executive with more than 17 years of experience in the investment banking and energy sectors, as an independent director of the Company.
• Signed a six-month evaluation agreement with AWS Convergence Technologies, owner and operator of the WeatherBug brand of professional and consumer weather products and services.

Financial Performance
Through the first six months of 2010, Catch the Wind operated as a development stage company focused on the commercialization of its Vindicator® LWS and other wind sensor products. As a development stage company, the Company netted cash receipts from product sales against capitalized development costs. As a result, the Company did not recognize any revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. However, the Company transitioned from a development stage to a commercial enterprise late during the second quarter, and commencing with the reporting of Q3 FY2010 financial results, the Company will be classified as a commercial enterprise and will report recognized revenue as appropriate.

Operating expenses for Q2 of FY2010 were $4.5 million and included an inventory write-down related to the production of Vindicator® LWS and Racer’s Edge beta units of $1.3 million. The inventory write-down charge represents the accounting treatment of costs associated with the in-house production of the beta units. Operating expenses for Q2 FY2009 were $2.1 million.

On a six-month basis, operating expenses totaled $7.8 million for FY2010 and $3.8 million for FY2009, respectively. The growth in operating expenses for the quarter and first half of 2010 compared to the same periods last year is consistent with management’s expectations, and was primarily attributable to an increase in staff and consultants required to support the business, increased travel expenses and professional fees, including engineering support and sales and marketing costs related to accelerating commercialization.

Catch the Wind recorded a net loss for Q2 FY2010 of $4.4 million, or $0.08 per share. This compares to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share, for the corresponding period of FY2009. On a year-to-date basis, Catch the Wind had a net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for FY2010 compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for FY2009. Net cash usage for the second quarter of FY2010 was approximately $4.7 million.

At June 30, 2010, Catch the Wind held cash and cash equivalents of $6.6 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million at December 31, 2009.

Outlook
“Building on recent sales, our focus for the balance of the year will be centered on adding to our business development pipeline and identifying single or small unit orders with the various players of the renewable energy market in North America and Europe,” added Mr. Rogers. “We believe this approach will generate larger unit orders over the longer term, particularly as customers are able to confirm first hand the benefits that the Vindicator® LWS delivers, namely increased energy output and reduced turbine operating costs.”

Catch the Wind will file its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2010 and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) with securities regulatory authorities within applicable timelines. Catch the Wind’s financial statements, MD&A and related documents will be available via SEDAR as well as through the Company’s website, www.catchthewindinc.com.
