"In recent weeks, we have seen average selling prices begin to stabilize and
improvement to order patterns. We have continued to gain traction in expanding
our presence in key markets such as North America and China. In the U.S., our
recently established sales and marketing operation has already begun to gain
traction in winning large module contracts. In China, we are encouraged by the
announcement of the unified national feed-in-tariff program. We have an
established, strong market position in our domestic market and see significant
