The Company plans to issue common shares in private. (Proposed by the Board of Directors) Explanatory Notes
-
I. In order to expand operational scale, increase operation fund, or meet the Company’s need for funds for its future development to maintain the Company’s continuing business development and increase its competitiveness, the Company plans to proceed with a private placement by no more than 180,000,000 common shares, at NT$10 per share face value.
-
II. In accordance with Provision 6, Article 43 in the Securities and Exchange Law, the private placement is described as follows:
-
(I) Base and reason for price setting:
1. Price for the private placement must not be set lower than 70% of either of the following two bases, whichever is higher, on the price fixing day on the price fixing base authorized to the Board of Directors by a resolution from shareholders meeting. - (1) the simple arithmetical average closing price of the common shares of the Company for either 1, 3 or 5 consecutive business days before pricing date, after adjustment for any gratuitous distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction. - (2) the simple arithmetical average closing price of the common shares of the Company for the 30 consecutive business days before pricing date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends, or capital reduction. 2.

-
(III) Essential reasons for the private placement:
-
Reasons for not adopting public issue: As currently the fund-raising market’s condition is not easy to grasp, and in order to ensure the efficiency and feasibility of raising a fund and effectively lower its cost, the Company desires to increase its cash capital by private placement of its common shares. In addition, by authorizing the Board of Directors to undertake a private placement depending on the market’s condition and as the Company actually needs, mobility and efficiency of the Company’s fund-raising will be increased.
-

【 ANNEX 2 】
NEO SOLAR POWER CORPORATION
BUSINESS REPORT
For both the entire solar energy industry and Neo Solar Power, 2015 represented a good ending after a hard beginning in year 2014. The US Department of Commerce filed litigation toward Taiwan and China’s Anti-Dumping (“AD”) as well as Countervailing-Duty (“CVD”) issue in the mid-2014 which led to a fluctuating solar market and the impact continued to the first-half of 2015 which resulted in decrease of ASP (“Average Selling Price) for solar products. However, global demand for solar industry has been gradually recovered in the second-half year 2015, and has entered into a virtuous cycle. Under the continuous promotion from governments worldwide and support from emerging markets, the global demand for solar market in 2015 reached 57GW, which is representing more than 16% YoY growth as compared with 49GW in year 2014. (According to Solarbuzz’s research)
Thanks to the valuable support from our shareholders and the continuous efforts from our human capital, Neo Solar Power was capable of keeping its steady pace and improving its relationship with clients, enhances the product mix and enlarges solar module business. We also maintained the sound financial structure and market share. Therefore, even under the continuous negative impact in the first-half of 2015, Neo Solar Power still delivered annual shipments for over 2GW.
Our commitment to focus on manufacturing prime-quality and high added-value solar solutions has enabled us to build long-lasting relationships with our clients in the solar industry. Neo Solar Power continuously devotes to R&D and develops high efficiency products. After the release of “Black 20” in 2013, NSP achieved efficiency milestone with its new high-efficiency cell product, “Black 21”, with highest conversion efficiency of 21.1%. The newly developed six-inch Mono PERC “Black 21” cell offers light induced degradation (LID) lower than that of normal p-mono cells and low potential induced degradation (PID). We not only use conventional cost-competitive equipment to manufacture high-efficiency cells, but also continue to devote to next-generation R&D which again our leadership of technology and quality in solar industry.
In 2015, Neo Solar Power won Taiwan Excellent PV Award again from Taiwan’s Bureau of Energy for its high-efficiency cell product and module product. It is worth mentioning that Neo Solar Power is the only one solar company which won this award in both solar cell and module sectors and also the only company that wins this award for three consecutive years.
In addition, Neo Solar Power received the 24th Taiwan Excellence, also known as “2016
12
Taiwan Excellence” for its module product. NSP is also the only solar company among Taiwan peers that wins this Taiwan Excellence Award. This showed that the quality and standard of our cell & module products have met worldwide PV industry’s requirement, giving recognition to the outstanding performance of NSP module in solar electrical energy generation.
Neo Solar Power continuously expands solar system investment. In year 2015, we acquired a solar system project development team in United States and formed a solar system development company named “Clean Focus Renewables”. Leveraging the abundant experiences of project development, financing, construction, and operation of this US team member, we expects to expand our future annual solar system construction goal to 100~200MW. In the meantime, our subsidiary, General Energy Solutions Inc. (“GES”), has partnered with one European integrated solar energy developer to further extending its global business territory such as Western Europe, Africa, Central-South America, Middle-East, and South-Eastern Asia. Among them, 400MW will start construction immediately in the coming 10~12 months. GES’ business is expected to have a quantum leap in 2016.
Moreover, Neo Solar Power was the Bronze Award winner for 2015 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report recognized by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. This is not only the recognition for our contribution towards society and environments, but also helps to enhance corporate’s tangible as well as intangible value.
Our 2015 financial results and 2016 business plans are described as follows:
1. 2015 Business Operations Report
In 2015, Neo Solar Power’s consolidated Net Sales reached NT$ 22.21 billion. However, suffering by continued impact of AD and CVD issues since the mid-2014 to mid-2015, our consolidated Realized Gross Profit was NT$ 625 million with Gross Margin of 2.81%. Due to recognizing China and South East Asia capacity relocation expenses and other allowances, our Operating Expense Ratio was up to 8.57% resulting in Loss from Operations of NT$1.30 billion. Net Loss was recorded as NT$1.54 billion. We have abundant cash due to the secured new NT$3.3 billion Syndicated Loan last year. Our Debt to Assets ratio was also relatively low at 48% with Net Cash, representing a solid financial structure.
2. 2016 Business Operations Plan:
A.Capacity Expansion Plan
Neo Solar Power current total cell capacity is 2.2GW and will expand into 2.5GW in year 2016. The module capacity will continue to be expanded from current 480MW to 800MW~1GW to maintain our cost competitiveness.
B.R&D development
We intend to increase market share by focusing on process technology
13
improvements and product development to manufacture high-quality solar cells with high conversion efficiencies on a cost-effective basis and on a large scale. In addition, Neo Solar Power will also focus on R&D toward crucial technologies to increase our patent portfolio and therefore we could build up more entry barriers to maintain our mid to long-term competitive advantages. C.Financials
We will continuously maintain a solid financial structure to react to market fluctuations and ensure stable growth and development of Neo Solar Power. D.Sales and Marketing Strategy
Neo Solar Power will cultivate current business relationships with global tier 1 clients. In order to expand the market share for our modules, we will develop new clients from emerging markets and establish our module brand in global markets to acquire more trust and recognition from solar system clients and the banking industry.
- E.Solar System Projects Business
NSP Group will continue to replicate the successful business model to construct solar system projects by using GES’ exceptional business development and engineering capabilities along with solar cells and modules provided by Neo Solar Power. In addition to the existing solar farm projects in Japan, the United States, UK and Taiwan, NSP Group plans to expand business into new territories such as Central-South America and the Middle East in year 2016 and complete its vision of building a global network of solar farms. The expansion of NSP Group’s worldwide solar system projects will increase NSP Group’s sales pipelines for solar cells and modules. Integrating businesses of solar cells, solar modules, and solar systems will enable Neo Solar Power to have a complete portfolio in mid-downstream supply chain of solar industry.
Looking into 2016, to keep our long-term competitiveness, NSP is proactively taking the following three strategies, market diversification, solar system investment expansion and acceleration of building up manufacturing sites overseas. Various research institutions still forecast a two-digit increase of global installations this year and we expect the increasing demand from some emerging markets, such as India market will have the potential to grow into 5~6GW. With the constantly reduced solar system’s installation cost, Grid Parity has been reached in many markets without government subsidies. In addition, in solar industry, owing to the relief of financing barriers in financial markets and the innovation of new financial instruments such as asset securitization, there is a significant potential of growth in whole industry investment. NSP will continuously devote to R&D and develop new products by means of our strong semiconductor industry experiences and vast solar device physics expertise. In the future, we also strive to improve our corporate governance, operating performance, our client service quality, our business development and fulfill corporate social responsibility to maximize shareholder value for years to come.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Neo Solar Power Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Neo Solar Power Corp. (NSP) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of NSP’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. As disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts of such subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, combined total assets of these subsidiaries were $6,794,911 thousand and $4,557,536 thousand, respectively, representing 17.38% and 12.21%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were $4,405,430 thousand and $2,581,275 thousand, respectively, representing 23.50% and 16.55%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, combined comprehensive (loss) income of these subsidiaries were $(208,540) thousand and $122,808 thousand, respectively, representing 14.40% and 33.57%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive (loss) income. Also, as disclosed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain equity-method investees as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, which were included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were audited by other auditors. The financial statements audited by other auditors have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts of investments accounted for using the equity method and share of profit and other comprehensive income of the equity-method investees, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, investments accounted for using the equity method were $65,824 thousand and $71,360 thousand, respectively, representing 0.17% and 0.19%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets; for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the share of loss and share of total comprehensive loss of equity-method investees were $8,064 thousand and $42,694 thousand, respectively.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Neo Solar Power Corp. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
We have also audited the separate financial statements of the parent company, Neo Solar Power Corp., as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph.
