( "Solarfun" or the "Company") , a vertically integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots, wafers and photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

-- Total net revenues were RMB 1,252.7 million (US$183.5 million) in
4Q09, an increase of 26.9% from 3Q09 and an increase of 11.6% from

-- PV module shipments reached 110.8 MW, an increase from 102.6 MW in
3Q09 and from 47.6 MW in 4Q08.
-- Average selling price, excluding module processing services, declined,
as expected, to US$1.95 per watt in 4Q09.
-- Gross profit was RMB 235.6 million (US$34.5 million) and the gross
margin was 18.8%.
-- Net income attributable to shareholders on a non-GAAP basis was RMB
95.9 million (US$14.1 million), an increase of 40.6% from 3Q09.
-- Annualized ROE on a non-GAAP basis improved to 17.4% from 13.4% in
3Q09.
-- As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
RMB 645.7 million (US$94.6 million) and working capital of RMB 1,900.4
million (US$278.4 million).
-- Net cash from operating activities was RMB 336.9 million (US$49.4
million).
Peter Xie, President of Solarfun, commented, "We are pleased with our 4Q results.

In addition, the annualized ROE on a non-GAAP basis improved significantly to 17.4% in 4Q as compared to 13.4% in the previous quarter, which reflects management's keen focus on optimizing its use of capital."
FOURTH QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
-- Total net revenues were RMB 1,252.7 million (US$183.5 million) in
4Q09, an increase of 26.9% from RMB 986.8 million in 3Q09 and an
increase of 11.6% from RMB 1,122.7 million in 4Q08. The increase in
net revenue from 3Q09 was primarily due to higher shipment volumes
reflecting improved industry demand as well as a change in the revenue
mix.
-- PV module processing services contributed 6.3% of the total net
revenues in 4Q09 as compared to 17.1% of total net revenues in 3Q09.
The percentage contribution from PV module processing services
decreased as more production capacity during the quarter was used for
the Company's own PV module shipments.
-- PV module shipments reached 110.8 MW in 4Q09, an increase from 102.6
MW in 3Q09 and from 47.6 MW in 4Q08. In 4Q09, excluding module
processing services, the Company recorded greater geographic diversity
in its PV module sales, with German-based customers accounting for 57%
of the Company's total PV module revenues, down from 60% and 83% in
3Q09 and 2Q09, respectively. Shipments to the Czech Republic
continued to grow, reaching 12% of total PV module revenues. More
significantly, the Company saw strong growth in shipments in China,
which accounted for 11% of total PV module revenues as compared to 1%
in the previous quarter. Other key markets in 4Q09 were Australia,
Korea and France, which in total accounted for 17% of total PV module
revenues.
-- Average selling price ("ASP"), excluding module processing services,
declined, as expected, to US$1.95 per watt in 4Q09 from US$2.03 per
watt in 3Q09. The decline in ASP was in line with the decrease in the
market prices of PV products.
-- Gross profit was RMB 235.6 million (US$34.5 million) in 4Q09, compared
to gross profit of RMB 204.4 million in 3Q09 and a gross loss of RMB
377.8 million in 4Q08. Gross margin was 18.8% in 4Q09 compared to
20.7% in 3Q09. The lower gross margin in 4Q09 reflects the lower
average selling price.
-- Operating profit was RMB 125.7 million (US$18.4 million) in 4Q09,
compared to operating profit of RMB 129.4 million in 3Q09 and an
operating loss of RMB 439.2 million in 4Q08. Operating margin for
4Q09 was 10.0% as compared to 13.1% in 3Q09 and negative 39.1% in
4Q08. Operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues
increased to 8.8% in 4Q09 as compared to 7.6% in the previous quarter,
primarily due to higher selling expenses incurred to serve an
expanding customer base as well as higher R&D expenses incurred during
the quarter.
-- Interest expense was RMB 39.7 million (US$5.8 million) in 4Q09,
representing a slight decrease from RMB 40.8 million in 3Q09, and an
increase from RMB 26.8 million in 4Q08.
-- The loss from the change in the fair value of the conversion feature
of the Company's convertible bonds was RMB 71.3 million (US$10.4
million) in 4Q09 as compared to a gain of RMB 82.4 million in 3Q09.
The change, arising from the adoption of ASC 815-40, was due to a
number of factors, including changes in the Company's ADS price during
the quarter. This line item, over which the Company has no control,
has fluctuated, and is expected to continue to fluctuate
quarter-to-quarter.
-- On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the accounting impact of the adoption
of ASC 815-40, net income attributable to shareholders was RMB 95.9
million (US$14.1 million) in 4Q09, compared to net income attributable
to shareholders of RMB 68.2 million in 3Q09 and a net loss
attributable to shareholders of RMB 418.8 million in 4Q08. Net
income per basic ADS, on a non-GAAP basis, was RMB 1.66 (US$0.25) in
4Q09, compared to net income per basic ADS of RMB 1.26 in 3Q09 and a
net loss per basic ADS of RMB 7.79 in 4Q08.
-- On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to shareholders was RMB 10.6
million (US$1.6 million) in 4Q09, compared to net income attributable
to shareholders of RMB 136.6 million in 3Q09 and a net loss
attributable to shareholders of RMB 418.8 million in 4Q08. Net income
per basic ADS was RMB 0.18 (US$0.03) in 4Q09, compared to a net income
per basic ADS of RMB 2.53 in 3Q09 and a net loss per basic ADS of RMB
7.79 in 4Q08.
-- On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the accounting impact of the adoption
of ASC 815-40, the Company had an annualized return on equity of 17.4%
in 4Q09 as compared to an annualized return on equity of 13.4% in 3Q09
and negative 72.1% in 4Q08. On a GAAP basis, the Company had an
annualized return on equity of 1.5% in 4Q09 as compared to an
annualized return on equity of 21.0% in 3Q09 and negative 72.1% in
4Q08.
FINANCIAL POSITION
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB 645.7 million (US$94.6 million) and working capital of RMB 1,900.4 million (US$278.4 million). Total short-term bank borrowings were RMB 404.8 million (US$59.3 million), a decrease from RMB 1,013.7 million as of September 30, 2009. Solarfun believes that the stable level of cash on hand and steady payback of a substantial amount of short-term bank borrowings indicates a strengthening in the Company's financial position.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total long-term debt of RMB 1,128.7 million (US$165.3 million), comprising both bank loans and convertible notes payable. The Company's bank loans are to be repaid in installments until their maturity in 2011 and 2012. The first maturity of the convertible notes payable is in 2015.
Net cash from operating activities in 4Q09 was RMB 336.9 million (US$49.4 million), an increase from RMB 160.3 million in 3Q09 and RMB 124.2 million in 4Q08.
The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and undrawn bank credit lines collectively represent adequate funds to finance the Company's near-term growth.
As of December 31, 2009, accounts receivable decreased to RMB 587.5 million (US$86.1 million) from RMB 707.2 million as of September 30, 2009. Days sales outstanding improved from 56 days in 3Q09 to 47 days in 4Q09.
Inventories decreased to RMB 784.0 million (US$114.9 million) from RMB 808.4 million as of September 30, 2009. Days inventory outstanding improved from 88 days in 3Q09 to 71 days in 4Q09.
Capital expenditures were RMB 23.7 million (US$3.5 million) in 4Q09. For the full year of 2009, the total capital expenditures were RMB 242.9 million.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The Company provides the following guidance based on current operating trends and market conditions.
For 1Q10, the Company expects:
-- Total module shipments to be 130MW to 140MW, of which approximately
30% will be for PV module processing services.
-- Average selling prices for PV module shipments to decline by
approximately 10% from 4Q09 on the assumption that the Euro/US dollar
exchange rate stays at approximately 1.35 for the rest of the quarter.
For the full 2010 fiscal year, the Company expects:
-- Shipment volumes to total approximately 600MW, including PV module
processing that would account for approximately 20-30% of the total
shipments.
-- Capital expenditures to be approximately RMB 650 million (US$95
million), which would be routinely re-evaluated based on prevailing
market conditions.
Peter Xie concluded, "In a year of significant quarter-to-quarter changes in the global solar industry, we achieved significant shipment growth as we crossed the 300MW shipment threshold in 2009, which represented over 80% growth from 2008. After a transition year for Solarfun in 2009, we expect 2010 to be a year of renewed focus on manufacturing cost, product quality and differentiation as well as investment in customer service as we strive to maintain high growth and gain market share.
