The conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the full year of 2006 and the fourth quarter of 2006 in this release, made solely for the convenience of the reader, is based on the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of December 31, 2006, which was RMB7.8041 to US$1.00. No representation is intended to imply that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into U.S. dollars at that rate on December 31, 2006, or at any other date. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on Renminbi.

 

Samuel Yang, JA Solar’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We continue to build on the substantial momentum in our business. We are successfully establishing JA Solar as one of the world’s premier solar cell brands. Our recent initial public offering was very well received and a benchmark event. We now have adequate funding in place to secure the high-quality silicon supply critical to our growth. We brought 75MW of production online as planned in 2006. We are on track to more than double that, with the planned addition of another 100MW in 2007 as we continue to execute on our growth plan by meeting the cell needs of our customers worldwide.”

 

Herman Zhao, JA Solar’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “At this time, we have 100% of our silicon wafer supply contractually secured for 2007. We are carefully managing all aspects of our growth. We continue to leverage our purchasing scale and long-term supply and purchase agreements. We are also seeking increased operational efficiencies where possible, as we work to maintain a stable gross margin level.”

 

In February 2007, the Company completed its IPO, generating net proceeds of US$209.1 million, net of listing expenses. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for the purchase of additional ADSs, generating net proceeds of US$31.4 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds to purchase raw materials, to expand its existing production capacity, to repay its short-term debt obligations, to enhance its research and development capabilities and for general working capital purposes. Upon the consummation of the IPO in February 2007, all of the Company’s outstanding 6,520,000 Series A preference shares were automatically converted into 6,520,000 ordinary shares

 

2007 Outlook

 

Based on current market conditions and customer forecasts, the Company expects production for 2007 to be approximately 100MW. This would result in revenues for the full year 2007 in the range of approximately RMB2,128 million (US$280 million) to RMB2,205 million (US$290 million), with a gross margin expected to be approximately 19.5%. For the first quarter 2007, JA Solar expects revenue to be in the range of RMB301 million (US$39 million) to RMB317 million (US$41 million), with gross margin expected to be approximately 21%. The Company expects its share based compensation for first quarter 2007 to be approximately RMB 1.87 million (US$0.24 million), or RMB0.049 (US$ 0.006) per diluted ADS.
