"Challenging global market conditions continued to impact our business in the third quarter of 2011," said Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer. "Oversupply and weakened demand led to substantial decreases in solar wafer and module prices, which negatively impacted our revenues and margins for the quarter. However, we continued to execute on our cost-reduction strategy and are confident we will remain the industry leader in cost-competitive wafer manufacturing. We have also begun to explore the systems business in China, and have conducted preliminary work on a project in Qinghai. Given the potential opportunities for high returns within the systems business in China, we will examine carefully and evaluate opportunities in this area. At the same time, we will continue to focus on wafer manufacturing while considering other investment opportunities to position ourselves favorably once macro conditions stabilize."

The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses in Q3 2011 resulting primarily from storage fees for modules shipped to Europe but not yet sold and expenses related to the Company's potential power project in Qinghai, as well as higher general and administrative expenses in Q3 2011 as a result of the reversals of accounts receivables provisions and personnel expenses in Q2 2011.
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)
The Company had a foreign exchange loss of US$0.9 million in Q3 2011, primarily due to the depreciation of the euro. The Company also recognized a US$10.1 million gain on derivatives, compared to a loss of US$9.2 million in Q2 2011, as the euro depreciated more than the forward rate hedged.
Gain on Repurchase of Convertible Notes
The Company also recognized a gain of US$20.2 million related to the Company's repurchase of a portion of its convertible notes in Q3 2011. As mentioned in previous quarters, the Company may repurchase its convertible notes from time to time.

Business Highlights
Research and Development
In Q3 2011, the Company began research on producing diamond-steel wires internally, which would enable the Company to cut extremely thin solar wafers of less than 150 millimeters. The Company's in-house diamond-steel wire production is currently in a trial production phase. The Company expects to mass produce diamond-steel wires by the end of Q4 2011 and will integrate diamond-steel wires with wafer manufacturing beginning in 2012. The Company plans to continue investing in research and development to achieve advancements in technology and manufacturing methods, in line with its overall cost-reduction strategy.
Wafer Business
In Q3 2011, the Company's average non-silicon wafer processing cost was US$0.23/W, a decrease from US$0.26/W in Q2 2011 as a result of continued cost-reduction efforts, including the use of upgraded furnaces and lower-priced raw materials. By the end of Q3 2011, the Company's non-silicon wafer processing cost was US$0.21/W, and the Company's non-silicon Virtus wafer processing cost was US$0.19/W. The successful execution of the Company's cost reduction strategies should allow the Company to achieve its non-silicon wafer processing cost target of US$0.19/W by the end of the year.
The Company's highly efficient multicrystalline Virtus wafer achieved an annual production capacity of 1.1 GW at the end of Q3 2011, and the Company is on target to upgrade all multicrystalline wafer production to Virtus wafer production by the end of 2011. During Q3 2011, the Company's higher grade V-Grade Virtus wafer consistently achieved cell conversion efficiencies greater than 18%.
Module Business
The Company delivered solar module shipments of 33.7 MW with an ASP of US$1.19/W in Q3 2011, a decrease from solar module shipments of 65.0 MW with an ASP of US$1.53/W in Q2 2011. The significant sequential decline in solar module shipments was primarily due to the challenging financing and solar market environment in Europe. At the end of Q3 2011, the Company's module processing cost was approximately US$0.44/W. The Company will continue to reduce its module processing costs, but expects difficult market conditions to extend into Q4 2011 and Q1 2012.
Polysilicon Update
The Company's Sichuan polysilicon plant continued to contribute to the Company's cost-reduction strategy in Q3 2011 and remains central to the Company's long-term manufacturing strategy. In Q3 2011, the Company produced approximately 760 metric tons ("MT") of polysilicon, a decrease from approximately 787 MT in Q2 2011 as a result of temporary electricity shortages from government-sponsored infrastructure upgrades and facility improvements. The Company's internal polysilicon production cost was reduced to approximately US$35.70/kg by the end of Q3 2011, compared to approximately US$40/kg at the end of Q2 2011.
The Company expects to expand its polysilicon production capacity to 8,500 MT by the end of Q2 2012, but may expand at a slower rate if polysilicon spot market prices and solar product demand remain low. In Q4 2011, the Company expects polysilicon production to reach between 900 MT and 950 MT and polysilicon production cost to approach US$30/kg.
Strong Cash Position
Net cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash were US$450.3 million at the end of Q3 2011, compared to US$480.8 million at the end of Q2 2011. Total debt was US$691.4 million in Q3 2011, compared to US$560.7 million in Q2 2011, excluding US$130.8 million due in convertible notes.
Capital expenditures were US$46.4 million for Q3 2011. Short-term borrowings were US$523.5 million in Q3 2011, an increase from US$428.0 million in Q2 2011.
2011 Capacity Expansion Plans and Related CAPEX
The Company expects to further reduce its capital expenditures for the full year 2011 from $270 million to $158 million in order to conserve cash and extend the timeline for capital expenditures. The Company expects to expand annual Virtus wafer production capacity to 1.8 GW, upgrading all multicrystalline wafer production to Virtus wafer production, begin in-house production of diamond-steel wires, and continue research and development regarding additional cost-reduction methods. The Company also expects to spend a significant portion of its 2011 capital expenditure to increase polysilicon production at a flexible and market-sensitive rate from the current 3,500 MT to 8,500 MT by the end of Q2 2012.
Company Appoints Vice President of Global Sourcing
The Company appointed Charles Ding as vice president of global sourcing in August 2011. Mr. Ding has over 22 years of engineering and executive experience with extensive aerospace and automotive experience in both the United States and China. He has worked as an engineer and supply chain executive for several multinational automotive companies, including Johnson Controls, ArvinMeritor and GDX Automotive in the United States. Before receiving a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Toledo in 1997, Mr. Ding served as an engineer at Parker Hannifin Corporation in the United States and China Aerospace Corporation (now CNSA) in China. Mr. Ding received a bachelor′s degree in mechanical engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology in 1989.
Outlook
In Q4 2011, the Company expects total solar wafer and module shipments to be in the range of 280 MW to 300 MW and revenues to be in the range of US$140 million to US$150 million.
For the full year 2011, the Company expects total solar wafer and module shipments to be in the range of 1.23 GW to 1.25 GW and revenues to be in the range of US$935 million to US$945 million.
