For the fourth quarter of 2006, the Solarfun recorded total net revenue of RMB244.7 million (US$31.4 million) and net income of RMB33.0 million (US$4.2 million), or RMB1.30 per basic ADS (US$0.17 per basic ADS). Total net revenue for fiscal year 2006 was RMB630.9 million (US$80.8 million) and net income was RMB105.9 million (US$13.6 million), or RMB4.76 per basic ADS (US$0.61 per basic ADS).
Yonghua Lu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2006 was a landmark year in the history of our company and culminated in our successful listing on NASDAQ in December.
The offering itself helped us raise US$135.5 million, which should leave us in a strong position to continue our plans to expand our production lines and procure silicon supply. Our financial results reflect our strong position, despite continued challenges, especially in terms of sourcing stable supplies of raw materials at reasonable prices. We set records in terms of both revenue and net income for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year as we added PV production capacity and diversified our customer base. Since the IPO, we have also made significant headway in a few areas of focus. First, we are pleased to report that we completed construction and started operation on our third and fourth cell production lines in early March. Second, we received UL certification for our PV modules last week. We believe this will allow us to broaden our geographical reach more effectively, and in particular, penetrate the U.S. market."
"As we head into 2007, we will continue to work on securing silicon supply and expanding our international marketing efforts, especially in the US and in European countries such as Italy and Spain. In the near term, we believe there will be a reduction in gross margin from the end of 2006 as a result of a drop in price levels due to both seasonality in the market and uncertainty regarding renewable energy policies in some countries. However, on an annual basis, we believe our growth will remain robust. Looking out longer-term in 2007, we believe we will see a rebound in demand as the new solar-related regulatory policies and incentive programs in our target markets become finalized."
Fourth Quarter 2006 Results
Solarfun\'s total net revenue for the fourth quarter increased 207.0% to RMB244.7 million (US$31.4 million) from RMB79.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and increased 33.9% from RMB182.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. Growth in net revenue in the fourth quarter was primarily due to an increase in production volumes and strong overall demand, and was partially offset by a decline in average selling price ("ASP"). Total PV module shipments and ASP were 7.8MW and US$3.96 per watt, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 5.6MW and US$4.04 per watt, respectively, in the third quarter of 2006. During the fourth quarter, Solarfun derived approximately 99.8% of total net revenue from PV modules.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter was RMB65.6 million (US$8.4 million), representing an increase of 326.0% from RMB15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and an increase of 26.4% from RMB51.9 million in the third quarter of 2006. The gross margin increased to 26.8% from 19.3% in the fourth quarter of 2005, and dropped slightly from 28.4% in the third quarter of 2006. The sequential decrease was largely attributable to an increase in the cost of silicon and a decrease in the ASP in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Income from operations for the fourth quarter was RMB35.3 million (US$4.5 million), or 14.4% of total net revenue, which compares with RMB11.1 million, or 13.9% of total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005, and RMB30.2 million, or 16.5% of total net revenue in the third quarter of 2006. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the higher gross margin. The sequential increase in operating profit was mainly due to increased PV module shipments and was offset by the decrease in gross margin, higher selling expenses, and higher general and administrative expenses as a result of the continued business growth.
Net income for the fourth quarter was RMB33.0 million (US$4.2 million), representing a 224.4% increase year-over-year and a 36.6% increase from the third quarter of 2006. Basic earnings per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2006 were RMB1.30, or US$0.17 per ADS.
Full Year 2006 Financial Results
For the full 2006 fiscal year, the Company\'s total net revenue increased 279.7% to RMB630.9 million (US$80.8 million) from RMB166.2 million in 2005. The Company derived approximately 95.8% of its total net revenue from PV modules. The increase was mainly due to a large increase in production volumes and strong overall demand.
Gross profit for 2006 was RMB184.4 million (US$23.6 million), representing an increase of 601.1% from RMB26.3 million in 2005. The gross margin increased significantly to 29.2%, compared with 15.8% in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the ramp-up of Solarfun\'s PV cell production capabilities, which has allowed the Company to use its own PV cells for module production. Income from operations for 2006 was RMB113.8 million (US$14.6 million), or 18.8% of total net revenue. This represents a 602.5% increase from RMB16.2 million in 2005, when operating income was only 9.7% of total revenue.
Net income for 2006 was RMB105.9 million (US$13.6 million), representing a 635.0% increase from the previous year. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB 4.76 (US$0.61 per ADS) in 2006 compared to RMB1.32 in 2005.
Financial Position
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB1,137.8 million (US$145.8 million), and working capital of RMB1,482.7 (US$190.0 million). Total bank borrowings totaled RMB410.9 million (US$52.7 million), of which RMB15.0 (US$1.9 million) were long-term bank borrowings.
Business Outlook for 2007
Based on current operating and other conditions, Solarfun estimates that it will achieve the following for the full 2007 fiscal year:
* Net revenue of US$265 million to US$285 million, representing year-over-year growth of 228% to 252%.
* PV product shipments of 80-90MW, representing year-over-year growth of 254% to 298%.
* An increase of annualized total PV cell production capacity from 60MW at the end of 2006 to 240MW by the end of 2007.
Recent Events
Completed IPO listing on NASDAQ:
In December 2006, the Company completed its IPO, generating net proceeds of US$135.5 million, net of listing expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds to expand its existing PV cell production lines, purchase raw materials and to meet general working capital requirements. Upon the consummation of the IPO in December 2006, all of the Company\'s outstanding 79,644,754 Series A Preference Shares were automatically converted into 79,644,754 ordinary shares.
Sales agreement for PV modules with UB Garanty Project SL:
In January 2007, the Company entered into a sales agreement for PV modules with UB Garanty Project S.L. in Spain. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will sell approximately 140MW of photovoltaic modules to UB Garanty Project S.L. over the next three years. The contract is expected to have an estimated value of between US$40 million and US$50 million in 2007.
Installation of PV cell production lines:
The Company finished installing and commenced operations on its third and fourth PV cell production lines in early March, 2007. These two lines bring the Company\'s annualized PV cell production capacity up to 120 MW.
Receipt of UL Certification for photovoltaic modules:
Solarfun received a certificate of compliance from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for twenty of the Company\'s PV modules in early March. The UL certification demonstrates the quality of Solarfun\'s products and should help the Company in its international sales development, especially in the US, which is one of the biggest markets in the world for solar power.
Underwriters Laboratories is an independent, not-for-profit product-safety testing and certification organization in the U.S. that is recognized around the world for setting safety standards for electronic products.

China's Solarfun Power 3rd-Qtr Profit Nearly Triples on Rising Demand and Increased Production
NEW YORK (AP) -- Solarfun Power Holdings Co.'s profit nearly tripled in the third quarter due to increased production and demand of photo-voltaic cells, the Chinese company said Thursday.
Net income attributable to shareholders rose to 59.6 million yuan ($8 million), or 1.24 yuan (17 cents) per American Depositary Receipts from 20.5 million yuan, or 0.69 yuan per ADR a year earlier. Revenue rose more than fourfold to 753.8 million yuan ($100.6 million) from 182.8 million yuan. The company did not provide comparable dollar figures for the year-ago period.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected earnings of 0.35 yuan per ADR on revenue of 569.6 million yuan, on average.
"Our shipments continued to increase and demand remained robust," Chief Executive Yonghua Lu said in a statement. He added that the company "continued to broaden the size and quality of our customer base, as well as our suppliers of polysilicon and wafers" during the quarter.

China-based LDK Solar Co Ltd (LDK.N: Quote, Profile , Research), which is undergoing an independent audit over allegations it overstated the value of its polysilicon inventories, also saw its stock rise on a report it will tap $700 million in long-term debt and credit lines and about $100 million in customer prepayments.
Telephone calls to the company's office in Sunnyvale, California, requesting confirmation from Chief Financial Officer Jack Lai and from its public relations officials were not immediately returned.
Last Friday, LDK, which manufactures multicrystalline solar wafers used in solar cells, said it has secured an additional 312 tonnes of polysilicon supplies for 2008.
On the New York Stock Exchange, LDK Solar closed up $8.67, or 26.84 percent, at $40.97, and Trina Solar Ltd (TSL.N: Quote, Profile , Research) gained 8.2 percent at $48.98.
On Nasdaq, Solarfun Power Holdings Co Ltd (SOLF.O: Quote, Profile , Research) finished the day $5.65, or 27.43 percent ahead at $26.25, China Sunergy Co Ltd (CSUN.O: Quote, Profile , Research) rose 12.85 percent to $10.45, and Canadian Solar Inc (CSIQ.O: Quote, Profile , Research) was up 15 percent at $18.70.
In options trading, 45,000 calls compared with 13,000 puts changed hands in LDK, which was four times its average volume, according to market research firm Trade Alert.
"The House of Representatives is expected to vote on an energy bill within the next two days. An energy bill before Congress is expected to move quickly," said William Lefkowitz, options strategist at brokerage firm vFinance Investments in New York.
"The main issue is alternative energy. If approved this is perceived as a positive for LDK and other stocks in the sector," he said. "LDK calls, conveying the right to buy the stock as high as $80 per share, are active this morning."
The House is expected to vote on an energy bill this week after Speaker Nancy Pelosi struck a deal with Michigan Rep. John Dingell, a long-time champion of Detroit automakers such as General Motors Corp (GM.N: Quote, Profile , Research) and Ford Motor Co (F.N: Quote, Profile , Research), to raise fuel-economy standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2020.
Environmental groups have hailed the deal as historic, because it would be the first time Congress has taken significant action on fuel efficiency since the 1980s. But it is still uncertain whether production tax credits for solar, wind and other alternative energy sources will be in the bill.
Pete Najarian, co-founder of Web information site optionmonster.com in Chicago said: "What we are seeing are more and more companies such as Solarfun reacting to solar as a renewable energy. The call speculation has been building in many of the names."
Solarfun said on Tuesday that Good Energies, an investor in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industry, agreed to purchase about 66.7 million ordinary shares and 281,011 American Depository Shares from current shareholders. The investment would raise Good Energies' stake in the company to about 34.7 percent from 6.3 percen

According to the agreements Solarfun will receive a predetermined amount of wafers beginning in January 2008 with volumes reaching over 30 MW per year in 2011. The prices will be fixed with a declining price structure throughout the term of the contract. Additionally, the Korean firm will hold options to purchase back a certain percentage of the wafers as modules beginning in 2009.
“We are pleased to develop a long term partnership with a proven player and look forward to growing our relationship with them in many areas,“ said Solarfun's Chairman Lu Yonghua. “This contract will be a key factor towards fulfilling our immediate expansion goals of 360 MW in production capacity by mid-2008 and allows us to explore OEM as a possible addition to our business model.“
