Renewable Energy Trade Board Corporation

Financial Results Announcement

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 (unaudited)

HONG KONG, December 20, 2012, Renewable Energy Trade Board Corporation (formerly known as China Technology Development Group Corporation) (NASDAQ:EBOD) (the “Company”, the “Group”, “us”, or “our”) announced today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months period ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues increased from Rmb8,215,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 (“First Half 2011”) to Rmb10,771,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (“First Half 2012”). This increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of sales of crystalline solar modules in China. The increase in sales was partially offset by a reduction in the market selling price.

Cost of sales increased from Rmb8,728,000 in the First Half 2011 to Rmb12,231,000 in the First Half 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of crystalline solar modules in the First Half 2012.

Gross margin was negative Rmb1,460,000 in the First Half 2012, or negative 11.9% on cost of revenues. Gross margin was negative 5.9% on cost of revenues in the First Half 2011. Our management believes that the negative gross margin in the First Half 2012 and the First Half 2011 were primarily due to low selling prices in the market.

Selling expenses decreased by Rmb963,000, or 71.39%, from Rmb1,349,000 in the First Half 2011 to Rmb386,000 in the First Half 2012. This decrease was primarily due to:

 

   

Rmb761,000 in exhibition expense in First Half 2011, which were not incurred in First Half 2012.

 

   

Rmb167,000 in goods freight and transportation fees in First Half 2011, which were not incurred in First Half 2012.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A expenses”) decreased by Rmb3,159,000, or 21.37%, from Rmb14,779,000 in the First Half 2011 to Rmb11,620,000 in the First Half 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a combination of the following factors:

 

   

a Rmb2,968,000, or 30.92%, decrease in salaries and staff welfare expenses, which resulted mainly from a Rmb3,203,000 reduction of stock-based compensation recognized (recognized over the period during which employees were required to provide service, known as the requisite service period, usually the vesting period, in exchange for the award.) This decrease was partially offset by the inclusion of salary of Rmb344,000 for staff of our European office in First Half 2012;

 

   

a Rmb281,000 decrease in overseas travel expenses, resulting from less staff travelling to work in Europe, since the staff were recruited to work in our European office commencing in the fourth quarter of 2011;

 

   

a Rmb250,000 decrease in depreciation expense. This was mainly due to exclusion of depreciation expense of China Merchants Zhangzhou Development Zone Trendar Solar Tech Ltd (“Trendar Solar”) and China Merchants Zhangzhou Development Zone Broad Shine Solar Technology Ltd (“Broad Shine”) for 3 months from April to June in 2012, compared with 6 months from Jan to June in 2011; and

 

   

a Rmb486,000 decrease in other expenses, including reduction of office supplies, printing, Internet, press release, motor vehicle and mobile charges.

partially offset by

 

   

a Rmb1,483,000 increase in legal and other professional fees. This increase was mainly because that (i) in First Half 2011, legal and other professional fees included income of Rmb599,000, related to decrease in fair value of certain stock options granted to certain individual consultants for services such as business development consulting, merger and acquisition advisory and provision of other corporate financing initiatives and we had no such income in First Half 2012; (ii) in First Half 2011, legal and other professional fees also included a write back of Rmb613,000 as income relating to the write-back of long outstanding unclaimed payable balances; and (3) in First Half 2012, professional fees included business valuation fees of Rmb107,000.

Other income (expense). Other expense for the First Half 2012 mainly represented Rmb20,700,000 of loss on the disposal of a subsidiary, Rmb6,289,000 of impairment on available-for-sale securities, Rmb2,672,000 of change in fair value of trading securities, and Rmb699,000 of net loss in equity-method investment. Other income for the First Half 2012 mainly represented Rmb32,751,000 of gain on the deemed disposal of a subsidiary, Rmb1,745,000 of gain on sale of equity-method investment, Rmb310,000 of gain on disposal of trading securities, and Rmb218,000 of foreign exchange gain. Other expense for the First Half 2011 mainly represented Rmb3,257,000 of change in fair value of trading securities. Other income for the First Half 2011 mainly represented Rmb1,780,000 of change in fair value of warrant liabilities, Rmb759,000 of gain on the disposal of trading securities and Rmb211,000 of foreign exchange gain.

Table of Contents

The Company reported a net loss of Rmb9,205,000 in the First Half 2012 as compared to a net loss of Rmb16,935,000 in the First Half 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were Rmb39,766,000, representing an increase of Rmb34,416,000 from Rmb5,350,000 at the beginning of the year. The increase cash and cash equivalents compared to December 31 2011 was primarily due to the combined effects of the disposal of available-for-sale and trading securities, proceeds from the sale of an equity-method investment and net cash inflow from operating activities, such as reduction of inventory, capital contribution from non-controlling interest, and overdraft from a security account, which was partially offset by a purchase of securities.

Going Concern

The Company believes that the Group will be able to generate adequate cash flows to finance its operations and meet its cash obligations for the 12 months following June 30, 2012 based on the following:

 

   

positive operating cash flows are expected to be generated from the profitable manufacturing and sale of solar modules;

 

   

potential sale in the open market of available for sale and trading securities with ending carrying amounts of approximately Rmb30.12 million as of June 30, 2012; and

 

   

tight controls exercised by the Company’s Board of Directors on timing and magnitude of cash outlays for investments initiatives.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Changes in the Group structure and shareholding in subsidiaries

On January 15, 2012, the Company internally transferred the entire equity interest of Faster Assets Limited, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to Sinofield Group Limited (“Sinofield”, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company). Then Faster Assets Limited further transferred the entire equity interest of Broad Shine, its direct wholly owned subsidiary, to Trendar Solar, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinofield. Subsequent to these transfers, on February 20, 2012, Beijing Yin Bao Hong Di Equity Investment Management Centre, an independent third party, entered into an investment agreement with Sinofield and Trendar Solar to invest HKD5.5 million in cash into Trendar Solar so that it would own an 8.4% of the then enlarged share capital of Trendar Solar. As a result, the Company’s indirect shareholding in Trendar Solar has been diluted from 100% to 91.6%.

On January 16 2012, the Company entered into a three-year cooperation framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with GCL-Poly Investment Limited (“GCL-Poly”), China Merchants New Energy Group Limited (“CMNE”), and Sinofield to cooperate on the development of roof-top solar projects in the United States and China. Based on the provisions of the Framework Agreement, CMNE and Sinofield entered into a definitive subscription agreement on March 27, 2012, pursuant to which CMNE subscribed for 220 newly issued ordinary shares of Sinofield, representing 68.75% of the equity interests in Sinofield in consideration of transferring CMNE’s entire interest in China Technology New Energy limited (“CTNE”) to Sinofield. CTNE holds exclusive rights to develop at least 180 MW roof-top solar plants in China. This transaction was consummated on April 2, 2012. As a result, CMNE became a substantial shareholder of Sinofield. The Company owned a 31.25% equity interest in Sinofield and Sinofield accounted for an equity-method investment of the Company after this transaction. In connection with this transaction, CTNE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinofield and Sinofield changed its name to China Merchants New Energy Holdings Limited (“CMNEH”). The execution copy of the subscription agreement dated March 27, 2012 was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our report on Form 6-K dated March 28, 2012 (File No. 000-29008).

In furtherance to the Framework Agreement, on April 19, 2012, CMNEH entered into a subscription agreement with GCL-Poly Investment Limited (“GCL-Poly Investment”, a third party), pursuant to which GCL-Poly Investment agreed to subscribe and purchase 80 newly issued ordinary shares of CMNEH in consideration for HKD48 million in cash. On April 30, 2012, the transactions contemplated under the subscription agreement were consummated and GCL-Poly Investment and CMNE became a 20% shareholder and a 55% shareholder, respectively, of CMNEH. As a result, the shareholding of the Company in CMNEH was diluted from 31.25% to 25%. As contemplated by the subscription agreement, the Company, as an indirect shareholder of CMNEH, has settled certain non-trade payables in a total amount of approximately Rmb24 million by way of equity investment into CMNEH group upon the completion on April 30, 2012.

On May 14, 2012, China Green Holdings Limited (“CGHL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase Agreement with Hyatt Servicing Limited (“Hyatt”), pursuant to which Hyatt agreed to purchase 24 issued ordinary shares of CMNEH from CGHL, in consideration of HKD14,400,000 in cash. Also on May 14, 2012, CGHL entered into another sale and purchase agreement (“the Agreement’) with Profit Icon Investments Limited (“Profit Icon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldpoly New Energy Holdings Limited (“Goldpoly”)whose ordinary shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, pursuant to which, Profit Icon agreed to purchase 36 issued ordinary shares of CMNEH from CGHL, in consideration for HKD21,600,000 which was satisfied by the allotment and issue of 22,905,621 newly issued ordinary shares of Goldpoly at a price of HKD0.943 per share. The transaction was closed on May 23, 2012. As a result of the share transfers, Hyatt and Profit Icon became a 6% shareholder and a 9% shareholder, respectively, of CMNEH . As a result, the shareholding of the Company in CMNEH decreased from 25% to 10%.

On June 19, 2012, CMNEH entered into a subscription agreement with Talesun Solar Hong Kong Limited (“Talesun”), pursuant to which Talesun agreed to subscribe 40 newly issued ordinary shares of CMNEH in consideration for HKD50,000,000 in cash. The transaction was closed on June 29, 2012. As a result, Talesun became a 9.09% shareholder of CMNEH and the shareholding of the Company in CMNEH was further diluted from 10% to 9.09%.

On August 9, 2012, the board of directors of CMNEH implemented a stock division with a ratio of 1-for-100 and a capitalization issue and allotment of the shares to all its existing shareholders. On the same date, CMNEH issued and allotted a total of 25,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value US$0.01 each (“Incentive Shares”) to Sino Arena Investments Limited, a trustee company, pursuant to an adopted equity incentive scheme for the directors, employees and consultants of CMNEH. As a result, the Company’s shareholding in CMNEH was diluted from 9.09% to 8.69%.

Notes

(a) Basis of Preparation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or US GAAP, for interim financial reporting. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements and the accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 do not necessarily indicate the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

The financial information as of December 31, 2011 presented in the unaudited condensed financial statements is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

For the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, the Group reported a net loss of approximately Rmb16.94 million and Rmb9.21 million respectively. For the period ended June 30, 2012, the Group reported net operating cash flow from operations of approximately Rmb20.63 million. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2012 was Rmb39.77 million.

(b) Going Concern

The Company believes that the Group will be able to generate adequate cash flows to finance its operations and meet its cash obligations for the 12 months following June 30, 2012 based on the following:

 

   

positive operating cash flows are expected to be generated from the profitable manufacturing and sale of solar modules;

 

   

potential sale in the open market of available for sale and trading securities with ending carrying amounts of approximately Rmb30.12 million as of June 30, 2012; and

 

   

tight controls exercised by the Company’s Board of Directors on timing and magnitude of cash outlays for investments initiatives.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(c) New accounting standards

The Company has reviewed issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncement to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

(d) Warrants and option rights

On September 23, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain investors for a private placement transaction. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued (i) 498,338 shares of common stock, (ii) 249,170 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of US$6.00 per share (“Warrant A”) and (iii) 1,277,136 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of US$0.01 per share (“Warrant B”) for a total net cash proceeds of US$1,364,000.

According to ASC 815 (formerly contained in FAS133, EITF0019, EITF07-05), the Company determined that Warrant B was a liability instrument and further recorded its fair value at issuance as warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheet, and was subsequently carried at fair value. The remaining proceeds of the private placement were then recorded in the consolidated balance sheet between common stock and additional paid in capital based on the relative fair value of the common stock and the other related financial instruments associated with the issuance.

Since the adoption of ASC 815-40-15 on January 1, 2009, Warrant A and option rights were recognized as liabilities and are carried at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value being recorded in the statements of operations.

(e) Net loss per share

Net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and, as appropriate, diluted shares of common stock equivalents outstanding for each of the relevant periods and the related loss amount. The number of incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options, stock purchase warrants, warrants, and option rights have been determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds from the assumed conversion of options and warrants are used to repurchase common stock using the average fair value of those periods.

Increase in number of shares caused by warrants issued (note (d)) have been considered in the calculation of loss per share.

Basic and diluted net loss per share have been calculated in accordance with ASC 260 (formerly referred to SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share”), for the six months period ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 as follows:

—Basic and diluted

     (7.5     (4.1

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted net loss per share is equal to the number of shares used to calculate basic loss per share as the incremental effect of share options, stock purchase warrants, warrants, options and convertible note would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number ordinary share equivalent of stock options, stock purchase warrants, convertible note and warrants which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 were approximately 6,993,000 and 6,802,000 respectively.

 

* The amounts included give retroactive effect to the 1-for-10 reverse split of the Company’s common stock completed on October 24, 2012.

(f) Available-for-sale securities

The available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 were Hong Kong marketable equity securities.

(g) Equity-method investment

Affiliated companies, in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for equity-method investment. Equity-method investment adjustments include the Company’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, adjustments to recognize certain differences between the Company’s carrying value and the Company’s equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold.

Equity-method investment are accounted for by equity method of accounting, and consist of the following:

(g) Equity-method investment (continued)

 

On January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year cooperation framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with GCL-Poly, CMNE, and Sinofield to cooperate on the development of roof-top solar projects in the United States and China. Based on the provisions of the Framework Agreement, CMNE and Sinofield entered into a definitive subscription agreement on March 27, 2012, pursuant to which CMNE subscribed for 220 newly issued ordinary shares of Sinofield, representing 68.75% of the equity interests in Sinofield in consideration of transferring CMNE’s entire interest in China Technology New Energy limited (“CTNE”) to Sinofield. CTNE holds exclusive rights to develop at least 180 MW roof-top solar plants in China. This transaction was consummated on April 2, 2012. As a result, CMNE became a substantial shareholder of Sinofield. The Company owned 31.25% of equity interest in Sinofield and Investment in Sinofield remained as an equity-method investment of the Company after this transaction. In connection with this transaction, CTNE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinofield and Sinofield changed its name to China Merchants New Energy Holdings Limited (“CMNEH”). The execution copy of the subscription agreement dated March 27, 2012 was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our report on Form 6-K dated March 28, 20120 (File No. 000-29008).

In furtherance to the Framework Agreement, on April 19, 2012, CMNEH entered into a subscription agreement with GCL-Poly Investment Limited (“GCL-Poly Investment”, a third party), pursuant to which GCL-Poly investment agreed to subscribe and purchase 80 newly issued ordinary shares of CMNEH in consideration for HKD48 million in cash. On April 30, 2012, the transactions contemplated under the subscription agreement were consummated and GCL-Poly Investment and CMNE became a 20% shareholder and 55% shareholder, respectively, of CMNEH. As a result, the shareholding of the Company in CMNEH was further reduced to 25%. As contemplated by the subscription agreement, the Company, as an indirect shareholder of CMNEH, has settled non-trade payables in a total amount of approximately Rmb24 million by way of equity investment into CMNEH group upon the completion on April 30, 2012.

On May 14, 2012, China Green Holdings Limited (“CGHL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase Agreement with Hyatt Servicing Limited (“Hyatt”), pursuant to which Hyatt agreed to purchase 24 issued ordinary shares of CMNEH from CGHL, in consideration for HKD14,400,000 in cash. Also on May 14, 2012, CGHL entered into another sale and purchase Agreement (“the Agreement’) with Profit Icon Investments Limited (“Profit Icon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldpoly New Energy Holdings Limited (“Goldpoly”) whose ordinary shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, pursuant to which, Profit Icon agreed to purchase 36 issued ordinary shares of CMNEH from CGHL, in consideration for HKD21,600,000 which was satisfied by the allotment and issue of 22,905,621 new ordinary shares of Goldpoly at a price of HKD0.943 per share. The transaction was closed on May 23, 2012. As a result of the share transfers, Hyatt and Profit Icon became a 6% shareholder and 9% shareholder, respectively, of CMNEH. The shareholding of the Company in CMNEH decreased from 25% to 10%.

On June 19, 2012, CMNEH entered into a subscription agreement with Talesun, pursuant to which Talesun agreed to subscribe 40 newly issued ordinary shares of CMNEH in consideration of HKD50,000,000 in cash. The transaction closed on June 29, 2012. As a result, Talesun became a 9.09% shareholder of CMNEH. The shareholding of the Company in CMNEH was further reduced to 9.09%.

The carrying amount of the equity-method investment represented the share of net assets value of the Company’s 9.09% equity interest in CMNEH as at June 29, 2012.

Change in Ownership in Previously Consolidated Subsidiary Results in Using the Equity Method of Accounting in the current Period

On February 20, 2012, Beijing Yin Bao Hong Di Equity Investment Management Centre, an independent third party, entered into an investment agreement with Sinofield and Trendar Solar to invest HK$5.5 million in cash into Trendar Solar so that it would own an 8.4% of the then enlarged share capital of Trendar Solar. As a result, the Company’s indirect shareholding in Trendar Solar has been diluted from 100% to 91.6%. The Company does not lose control to Trendar Solar and the transaction is accounted for equity transaction. Rmb2.234 million was recognized as non-controlling interest with the difference credited to the share premium.

On January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year cooperation framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with GCL-Poly, CMNE, and Sinofield to cooperate on the development of roof-top solar projects in the United States and China. Based on the provisions of the Framework Agreement, CMNE and Sinofield entered into a definitive subscription agreement on March 27, 2012, pursuant to which CMNE subscribed for 220 newly issued ordinary shares of Sinofield, representing 68.75% of the equity interests in Sinofield in consideration of transferring CMNE’s entire interest in China Technology New Energy limited (“CTNE”) to Sinofield. CTNE holds exclusive rights to develop at least 180 MW roof-top solar plants in China. This transaction was consummated on April 2, 2012. As a result, CMNE became a substantial shareholder of Sinofield. The Company owned a 31.25% equity interest in Sinofield and Sinofield has remained an associate of the Company after this transaction until the date of this report.

(i) Fair value measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 also discusses valuation techniques, such as market, income and/or cost approaches and specifies a three-level hierarchy of valuation inputs that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The fair value of the warrants was derived based on the Binomial Model and Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions include selecting several comparables from the market devoted to solar energy as reference to determine the volatility rate of the Company. Stock price, volatility, expected term, risk-free rate and fundamental changes event probabilities are the significant inputs into these valuation models.

The keys assumptions have been used were as follows:

 

     2011     2012  

Risk-free rate(1)

     0.24     0.28

Volatility rate(2)

     82.17     106.97

Dividend yield(3)

     —          —     

 

  1. The risk-free interest rate represents the yields to maturity of U.S. Government Strips with respective terms to maturity as at the valuation date.
  2. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and/or the comparable public-traded companies.
  3. The Company has no expectation of paying dividends on its common stock.

The following represents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of liabilities relating to warrants and option rights measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the year ended December 31, 2011 and six months ended June 30, 2012:

(j) Income tax expenses (credits)

Income tax expenses (credits) represent the sum of the income tax payable and deferred tax.

Income tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net loss as reported in the Company’s statements of operations because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for income tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

For business combinations, deferred taxes are recognized to the extent that the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired exceeds their respective tax bases.

The Company is a tax exempted company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong and in the PRC are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax and Enterprise Income Tax in the PRC, respectively.

The Group’s subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong were subject to a tax rate of 16.5% in 2011 and 2012 on the assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong. For those Hong Kong subsidiaries which generate PRC sourced income, PRC income tax was accrued on the assessable profits at a rate of 25% in 2011 and 2012.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, or New Income Tax Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008 and replaced the previous separate income tax laws for domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises (including PRC subsidiaries of the Company) by adopting a unified income tax rate of 25% for most enterprises. In accordance with the implementation rules of the New Income Tax Law, the preferential tax treatments previously granted to certain PRC subsidiaries of the Company would not continue and they would be subject to the statutory tax rate of 25%. Among all the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Zhangzhou Trendar Solar (not a subsidiary, became an affiliate since May 2012) has obtained a preferential tax concession from the tax bureau that it was fully exempt from the PRC enterprise income tax for two years starting from the year 2008, followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next three years from 2010 to 2012. Accordingly, the enacted tax rate for Zhangzhou Trendar Solar was 12.5% for 2010 to 2012.

Since all the PRC subsidiaries of the Company reported accumulated deficits up to June 30, 2012, no provision for PRC dividend withholding tax had been made. Upon distribution of any future earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise in the future, the Group would be subject to the respective withholding tax under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law issued by the State Council.

The Group had no material uncertain tax positions for 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 and there were no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Group had no material unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Group does not anticipate any significant increase or decrease in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The tax positions of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries for 2007 to 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 are subject to inspection by the PRC tax authorities. For the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries, their respective tax positions are subject to inspection for 2005 to 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 by the Hong Kong tax authorities.

The translation is not intended to imply that the Rmb amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into U.S. dollars at that rate on June 30, 2012 or at any other rate.

(m) Remediation efforts on the internal controls

We continue to develop and implement remediation plans to address our material weakness. We have been hiring experienced accounting personnel with knowledge on U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements promulgated by the SEC.

Should we discover any additional deficiencies, we intend to take appropriate measures to correct or improve our internal controls.
