This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of WindGen Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “WindGen”). Such statements are not historical facts and reflect our current views regarding matters such as operations and financial performance. In general, forward-looking statements are identified by such words or phrases as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “approximates,” “estimates,” “may,” “intends,” “predicts,” “projects,” “plans,” or “will,” or the negative of those words or other terminology. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict; our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, including those risks and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarter Report. The cautionary factors, risks and other factors presented should not be construed as exhaustive. Other risks not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, could also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Each forward-looking statement should be read in context with, and with an understanding of, the various disclosures concerning our business made elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as other public reports filed by us with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of actual results of developments. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On June 24, 2010, WindGen Energy, Inc. entered into an agreement with MicroCor, Inc., Chi Lin Technology Co., Ltd. and Wescor, Inc., whereby WindGen transferred 230,000 shares of MicroCor common stock owned by WindGen to Wescor, reducing WindGen’s holdings in MicroCor from 1,700,000 common shares to 1,470,000 common shares. WindGen’s percentage of ownership of MicroCor was reduced from approximately 57% to 49%. Since WindGen’s ownership percentage is below 50%, MicroCor’s financial statements are no longer consolidated with WindGen’s financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of WindGen Energy Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company generated a net gain / (loss) of ($82,102) and ($67,620) for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and negative cash flows from operations of $168,124 and $66,456 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,240,999. At September 30, 2010, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $96,263. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation of results for the interim periods shown, have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WindGen Energy Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary, MicroCor, Inc. (“MicroCor”) through June 24, 2010. As of June 24, 2010, MicroCor’s financial statements are no longer being consolidated with WindGen’s financial statements. (See Note 1).
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 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. At September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, there were 7,881 and 5,109,857 potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per common share.
NOTE 3 – PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors designated 1,000,000 shares of this preferred stock as Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) with a par value of $4.50 per share. Holders of the Series A Preferred receive annual cumulative dividends of eight percent (8%), payable quarterly, which dividends are required to be fully paid or set aside before any other dividend on any class or series of stock of the Company is paid. As of September 30, 2010, cumulative preferred stock dividends are due and payable in the amount of $17,496. Holders of the Series A Preferred receive no voting rights but do receive a liquidation preference of $4.50 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Series A Preferred stockholders have the right to convert each share of Series A Preferred to the Company’s common stock at a rate of 1.5 common shares to 1 preferred share.
On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with MicroCor, its subsidiary (the “MicroCor Agreement”). The MicroCor Agreement provides for the Company to create a Series B class of preferred stock, without dividend or voting rights (the “Series B Preferred”), which will receive 100% of any future benefit from the sale, spin-off, merger or liquidation of MicroCor or the commercialization of its hematocrit technology. The shares of the Series B Preferred will be distributed as a dividend, subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws and regulations, to the Company’s common stockholders, as of January 30, 2009. The creation of the Series B Preferred will prevent any holder of the Company’s common stock after January 30, 2009 from sharing in any future benefit of or to MicroCor through the expiration date of January 30, 2011. Upon expiration of this agreement on January 30, 2011, the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred to receive any future benefit from the commercialization of MicroCor’s hematocrit technology will expire, and, therefore, the Series B Preferred will expire and be terminated.

NOTE 5 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 24, 2010, WindGen Energy, Inc. entered into an agreement with MicroCor, Inc., Chi Lin Technology Co., Ltd. and Wescor, Inc., whereby WindGen will transfer 230,000 shares of MicroCor common stock owned by WindGen to Wescor, reducing WindGen’s holdings in MicroCor from 1,700,000 common shares to 1,470,000 common shares. WindGen’s percentage of ownership of MicroCor will be reduced from approximately 57% to 49%. Since WindGen’s ownership percentage will be below 50%, MicroCor’s financial statements will no longer be consolidated with WindGen’s financial statements.
The assets and liabilities of MicroCor, Inc. included in the consolidated financial statements of WindGen, Inc. consisted of the following at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

WINDGEN ENERGY, INC.
| Item 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|
Overview
InMedica Development Corporation (“InMedica” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Utah corporation on June 16, 1983. On December 4, 2009, a majority of the Company’s shareholders executed a consent resolution to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to WindGen Energy, Inc. (“WindGen” or the “Company”) and to increase the number of authorized common stock shares from 40,000,000 to 100,000,000. A Certificate of Amendment for such amendments was filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of Utah effective on December 16, 2009. The name change and the new trading symbol, “WGEI,” were approved by FINRA on March 16, 2010.
Since January 30, 2009, the Company’s new management team has been investigating new areas of business and sources of funding for the Company. See “Plan of Operation” below.
Plan of Operation
In January 2008, the Company’s plan of operation was to continue to work cooperatively with MicroCor and Wescor in the development of the Company’s portable Hematocrit device. In late 2008, Wescor ceased all research and development efforts on the Hematocrit technology. During 2008, the Company funded administrative operations with the proceeds of minimum royalty payments from MicroCor and from loans from the Company’s officers and Directors. These minimum payments to the Company from MicroCor have ceased. On June 24, 2010, WindGen Energy, Inc. entered into an agreement with MicroCor, Inc., Chi Lin Technology Co., Ltd. and Wescor, Inc., whereby WindGen transferred 230,000 shares of MicroCor common stock owned by WindGen to Wescor, reducing WindGen’s holdings in MicroCor from 1,700,000 common shares to 1,470,000 common shares. WindGen’s percentage of ownership of MicroCor was reduced from approximately 57% to 49%. Since WindGen’s ownership percentage is below 50%, MicroCor’s financial statements are no longer consolidated with WindGen’s financial statements. Development of the Hematocrit device remains dormant but has not been abandoned.
New Company Focus: Wind Energy
With new management, we have refocused the Company on wind energy devices. On April 17, 2009, we entered into a license agreement (the “License”) with Wind Sail Receptor, Inc. of Boulder City, Nevada (“WSR”), pursuant to which we were granted the exclusive license to assemble and market WSR’s wind sail receptor energy generation devices using blades of 15 feet or less in length in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, with nonexclusive rights in the rest of the world except Latin America and the Caribbean. Under the License, we must acquire 100 blades from WSR during the first year after WSR is able to manufacture the blades. WSR is currently in the final stages of selecting the electrical generator that it will couple with the WSR wind turbine blade. WSR is hopeful that it will begin production of complete wind turbine systems early in the first quarter of 2011.
We anticipate our first three wind turbine products will have blade diameters of 3, 6 and 12 feet with towers of up to 100 feet high. We are currently negotiating terms for the formation of the working capital required to bring our first products to market at some point during the first quarter of 2011. The progress of the Company in marketing its new wind energy products is dependent on obtaining additional capital.
Assembly and Marketing
During 2010, we will be developing a well-organized approach to the manufacturing/assembly process to assure high-quality, rapid-development cycles and overall competiveness. We are seeking an amendment to our existing WSR license to assemble the wind turbine units, and our first facility will be located in either Arizona or Nevada. WSR will be responsible for the manufacture of the critical blade component at its plant near Boulder City, Nevada. At this time suppliers have been located for all of the non-blade components for our products.
To launch into the important rural wind turbine market in the western United States (our initial marketing objective), we hope to join forces with some excellent partners and distributorships. We intend to recruit existing wind turbine distributors. In addition, we are currently in contact with various farm equipment dealers who have a well-established rural network of dealers throughout America, all with the ability to provide excellent sales, installation, and maintenance services. We also plan to sell distributorships to other existing service-oriented organizations.
We are currently in the process of finalizing our first two products that should be available during the first quarter of 2011. Subject to availability of adequate capital, product roll out could follow quickly in the western United States.
Results of Operations
The Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,240,999 as of September 30, 2010. No revenues from operations were received in 2010 and 2009. The Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $82,102 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $59,249 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net loss from continuing operations resulted primarily from increased General and Administrative Expenses and Related Party Consulting Fees. These types of expenses will continue to increase, subject to available funding, as we continue with our business plan.
The Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $243,878, as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $104,297 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the net loss from continuing operations resulted primarily from increased General and Administrative Expenses. These types of expenses will continue to increase in the future as the Company begins the beginning of sales and distribution of its wind turbine products, subject to available funding, as we continue our business plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the third quarter of 2010, we sold 733,332 shares of restricted common stock for total gross proceeds of $55,000. See “Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we reduced our total liabilities by $134,292 through the conversion of debt and Series A Preferred in exchange for our common stock. The sum of $10,875 for legal services was exchanged for 120,800 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Three Series A preferred shareholders converted 15,762 shares of the Series A Preferred, with a par value of $70,929, plus $52,488 of accrued dividends in exchange for 246,834 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and $15,000 in cash. See “Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below. We will continue to attempt to reduce our liabilities in the future.
In 2009, we suffered from a liquidity shortage which negatively impacted our ability to implement our new business plan for entry in the wind energy industry. Such liquidity shortage is continuing through the third quarter of 2010. The company is currently negotiating terms for a new convertible preferred to be issued by the Company in order to form new capital of up to $5,000,000 in order to implement its business plan in 2011.
Implementation of our new business to assemble and market wind turbines is contingent upon our ability to acquire new capital in 2011. We currently estimate we will need to generate approximately $3,500,000 of new capital during 2011 to fully implement our new business plan. We also estimate $2,000,000 of new capital would permit us to implement enough of our plan to commence minimal marketing of our wind turbine units in the first half of 2011.
We intend to acquire new capital during 2011 through the sale of equity or convertible debt or a combination of both in one or more private placements. Presently, we have no final agreement or understanding with any underwriter, investment banker or investor for any financing. There is no assurance we will be able to complete any substantial financing in the future.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Accordingly, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of September 30, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
i.
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
ii.
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Directors; and
|
|
iii.
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
|
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
