DEFAULT STATUS REPORT
The following is a Default Status Report of Western Wind Energy Corp. (the "Company") further to the Company's Notice of Default contained in its news release of June 8, 2007 (the "Notice of Default"). In accordance with Appendix B of CSA Policy 57-301:
1. The Company advises that there is no material change in the information contained in the Notice of Default.
2. Management of the Company has been informed that, among other things, a draft independent appraisal report for the Mesa Wind Farm and Windridge Wind Farm, as required by the Company's auditors, was recently completed and delivered to the auditors. The auditors are reviewing the draft appraisal report and the Company is waiting for their comments. In the 2007 audit process, certain deficiencies were noted in the 2006 financial statements. A restatement amending these deficiencies is required to be completed before the 2007 financial statements will be completed by the auditors. As a result of these factors, the Company has been unable to meet the anticipated filing date of July 31, 2007, which was previously disclosed in the Default Status Report dated July 20, 2007.
3. The Company advises that, as a result of its inability to file audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2007, it is unable to file financial statements within the time period set out by the securities regulatory authorities, for the quarter ended April 30, 2007.
4. Other than disclosed herein, the Company advises that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
The draft appraisal report has been provided to the auditors and the restatement of the 2006 audited financial statements and the 2006 20F annual report should be completed within the next 7 days. Management of the Company believes that the 2007 financial statements will be completed and filed on or before August 15, 2007, but there can be no assurance that this date will be met. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company may be subject to an issuer cease trade order without further notice as the financial statements will not be filed within two months after the Notice of Default, which was disseminated on June 8, 2007.
