GAAP knowledge. We intend to engage a U.S.-based consulting firm to provide us with consultancy services,<br />

including training our internal finance and accounting staff in Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance and financial<br />

reporting under U.S. GAAP.<br />

However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address this significant deficiency and<br />

other weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot yet conclude that they have<br />

been fully remedied.<br />

Results of Operations<br />

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 1, 2006. Our principal operating subsidiary, Jiangxi<br />

<strong>LDK</strong> <strong>Solar</strong>, was established in China on July 5, 2005. Through a reorganization of entities under common<br />

control, Jiangxi <strong>LDK</strong> <strong>Solar</strong> became our wholly owned subsidiary. We commenced commercial production of<br />

solar wafers in April 2006 at our manufacturing facilities in Xinyu city, Jiangxi province, China. Due to our<br />

short history of operations, the comparison of our results of operations between 2006 and 2005 would not be<br />

meaningful.<br />

no revenue and a net loss of $274,000 for the period from July 5, 2005 to December 31, 2005 as a result of our<br />

pre-production start-up costs and expenses, which primarily consisted of general and administrative expenses,<br />

research and development expenses, interest expenses and foreign currency exchange loss, net.<br />
