"We witnessed a strong rebound in customer demand for our quality products in the third quarter of 2009 and reached a corporate landmark as ReneSola achieved the highest quarterly shipments of solar products in its history," said Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer. "The benefits of our strategic acquisition of JC Solar and evolution into a n OEM based, vertically integrated solar manufacturer expedited with the recently announced acquisition of Dynamic Green Energy are allowing us to build upon our strong wafer manufacturing platform and deliver high quality, low cost products throughout the solar production value chain. " Mr. Charles Bai, ReneSola's chief financial officer, added, "We were pleased to see strong improvements in revenues and shipment volumes during the third quarter as we continue to witness strong customer demand and continue to gain market share globally. We are one quarter away from completely working through our high cost inventories. As such, we expect substantial margin improvements and a return to profitabilityin Q1 2010." Results for the Third Quarter of 2009 Product Shipment Total solar product shipment in Q3 2009 was 146.9 MW, an increase of 71.0% from 85.9 MW for Q2 2009. Net Revenues Net revenues for Q3 2009 were US$140.9 million, an increase of 70.6% from US$82.6 million sequentially, exceeding guidance. Net revenues for Q3 2008 were US$215.8 million. Gross Profit Gross profit for Q3 2009 was US$4.7 million, compared to US$4.3 million in Q2 2009 and US$45.8 million in Q3 2008. Gross margin for Q3 2009 was 3.4%, compared to 5.1% for Q2 2009 and 21.2% for Q3 2008.The sequential decrease in gross margin was a result of further wafer ASP decline and the residual higher cost of inventory worked through during the quarter. Operating Profit (Loss) Operating loss for Q3 2009 was US$7.8 million, compared to an operating loss of US$4.0 million for Q2 2009 and operating profit of US$36.9 million for Q3 2008. Operating margin for Q3 2009 was negative 5.5%, compared to negative 4.8% for Q2 2009 and positive 17.1% for Q3 2008. Total operating expenses for Q3 2009 were US$12.5 million, an increase from US$8.2 million for Q2 2009 and US$8.9 million for Q3 2008, mainly due to a one-off government subsidy granted in Q2 2009 and increases in general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses that were partly attributable to the integration of JC Solar. Earnings (Loss) Before Income Tax Loss before income tax for Q3 2009 was US$11.5 million, compared to a loss of US$2.9 million for Q2 2009 and earnings before income tax of US$37.9 million for Q3 2008. Taxation A tax benefit of approximately US$1.4 million was recognized for Q3 2009, compared with tax expenses of US$0.7 million for Q2 2009 and US$5.5 million for Q3 2008, as a result of deferred tax assets realized in the quarter.

Q3 2009 basic and diluted loss per share was US$0.07, and basic and diluted loss per American depositary share, or ADS , was US$0.14. Q2 2009 basic and diluted loss per share was US$0.03, and basic and diluted loss per ADS was US$0.05. One ADS is equivalent to two ordinary shares. Recent Business Developments Follow-on offering ReneSola closed its follow-on public offering of 15,500,000 ADSs, each representing two shares of no par value in the Company, on October 5, 2009. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately US$70.0 million, after deducting discounts and commissions but before offering expenses.

Cost of production from Phase I of Sichuan Polysilicon Facility is now below US$55/kg while Phase II of Sichuan Polysilicon Facility is to Launch Production in Q4 2009 Trial production of Phase I of the facility commenced in July 2009 and output from this phase is expected to be approximately 200 MT to 250 MT in Q4 2009.

Sola is on a forward PE of 8 for next year. Its fairly priced. 1.23p even though the DOW is at a 13 month high and the Chinese economy is still seeing 8% growth and theres huge stimulus package propping things up - says it all. The chart also shows its still short term bearish. Some of you need to stop hanging on to past glories. Its a good stock but dont expect old glories soon. PVCS also suffering and nowhere near the bottom on that one id suggest despite upgrading forecasts yesterday!

Agree slim re ziphy & bolt shooting! Next 1/4 another loss is expected so the sp is unlikely to do much partic if shorters get a their mitts on it. Having sed that I am back in & once again feel that the medium term view is excellent as long as u believe the exec. EPS of 14p is not to be sneezed at. I reckon the only fear is at pres the pos is we have a loss making Co & one with a sizeable debt already. Profits are needed & then watch this baby fly. Personally I believe this is still a buy as ever DYOR Have to admit Ziphy amazed that ur opinion should change so radically from a strong buy on Wed to selling up on Thursday???????????

Im sorry to say that I sold out today. I did this because I have been having increasing concerns about the part of the RNS stating that the company is making a loss. This together with apparent large numbers of selling today and concerns of how the market may react to the loss making status of the company made me view holding shares in this company as too risky at this present moment in time.
