Exhibit 99.1
Recent Developments
In recent years, the solar market in China has grown rapidly to become one of the largest solar market in the world, primarily due to increasing demand for electricity and increasing government incentives. Due, in part, to Chinas economic boom and urbanization, Chinas electricity demands have also grown sharply. In July 2011, the Chinese government announced its national feed-in-tariff policy. Certain provinces, such as Jiangsu, Liaoning and Shandong, also adopted their own feed-in-tariff policies. As a result, the solar market in Ningxia, Jiangsu and Gansu Provinces have grown particularly quickly, with Jiangsu representing almost half of new installations of recent building-mount projects.
The following represent key developments in the market in China:
| Anti-Dumping Settlement with the European Union On July 27, 2013, EU and Chinese trade negotiators announced that an agreement had been reached pursuant to which Chinese manufacturers, including JinkoSolar, would limit their exports of solar panels to the EU and set prices above a minimum price, in exchange for the EU agreeing to forgo the imposition of anti-dumping duties on these solar panels from China. The offer was approved by the European Commission on August 2, 2013. The Chamber of Commerce Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Product (CCCME) of China will be responsible for allocating the quota between companies, and JinkoSolar has been allocated a portion of the quota. According to reports, solar panels imported after the annual quota is reached would be subject to anti-dumping duties. According to reports, this agreement also could be used to resolve the parallel anti-subsidy investigation, commenced by the EU on November 8, 2012, prior to the imposition of provisional anti-subsidy measures. Definitive measures in that case are due in December 2013. |
| New Targets for Solar Power Capacity In response to the increased pace of market development, Chinas State Council, in a statement dated July 4, 2013, announced that installed capacity for solar electricity is expected to reach more than 35 GW by 2015 at a growth rate of about 10 GW a year between now and then. This was the fourth revision in less than three years for the 2015 installed capacity target, which was originally set at 5 GW in 2010, but increased to 10 GW in May 2011, 15 GW in December 2011 and 21 GW in July 2012. |
| Solar Subsidy Payments Standardized Although solar project development in China began to accelerate rapidly several years ago, there have been concerns about the timely payment of renewable subsidies to project developers since 2011. As a result, independent power producers experienced long accounts receivable periods. However, in March 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, the National Energy Commission and the Ministry of Finance, or the MOF, jointly issued a measure to standardize settlement of feed-in tariffs. |
In addition, according to a notice issued in July 2013 by the MOF, beginning in August 2013, subsidy payments for distributed PV power generation stations (excluding distributed PV power generation projects) shall be allocated directly from the central MOF to the State Grid Corporation of China and the China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., rather than to the provincial financial department. As a result of such measures, the collection period for the tariffs is expected to be
1
shortened from up to 26 months in 2011 to three to six months in 2013, substantially improving the working capital management for solar project developers.
| Increased Funding for Subsidy Payments The MOF has proposed to almost double the renewable surcharge for electricity end-users from RMB0.008 per kW to RMB0.015 per kW, effective September 25, 2013. |
| Distributed-Generation-Connected Projects Receive New Subsidies On August 30, 2013, the Department of Price of the NDRC released subsidy details for projects. Transmission-grid-connected projects will receive a feed-in-tariff of RMB0.90 to RMB1.00 per kWh, whereas distribution-grid-connected projects will receive a premium of RMB0.42 per kWh in addition to the desulphurized coal benchmark price. Distribution-grid-connected projects are expected to represent the majority of Chinas new PV installation in the next few years. Unlike the rest of the world, capital expenditures for distribution-grid-connected projects are higher than transmission-grid-connected projects, since labor costs for scaffolding and work on rooftops are low in China and rooftop space is currently free. |
Total revenues increased from RMB2,298.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to RMB2,928.3 million (US$477.1 million) for the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in shipments of solar modules from 380 MW to 742 MW, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of solar modules. The increase in solar module shipments was primarily due to a significant increase in shipments to China and other Asia-Pacific countries, which was mainly driven by our increased sales and marketing activity in such regions, partially offset by a decrease in shipments to Europe, which was mainly driven by reduced demand as government support for solar projects in Europe decreased in response to the European debt crisis. The decrease in average selling prices of solar modules was primarily due to the continued oversupply of solar modules and decreases in prices of polysilicon, the principal raw material for PV modules.
Gross margin increased from 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 15.7% for the same period in 2013, primarily due to our improvements in operating efficiency and continued cost reductions for polysilicon and auxiliary materials. Total operating expenses decreased from RMB499.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to RMB319.9 million (US$52.1 million) for the same period in 2013, primarily due to (i) a provision of RMB129.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 on inventory purchase prepayments under long-term polysilicon supply contracts as a result of adverse developments in a suppliers operations and (ii) the reversal of provision for bad debts of RMB74.5 million (US$12.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of the subsequent cash collection of long-aged accounts receivable.
Our revenues were RMB1,238.0 million, RMB1,329.5 million, RMB1,167.2 million, RMB1,163.4 million and RMB1,764.9 million, for each quarter from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013, respectively, and our module shipments were 223.0 MW, 280.0 MW, 252.3 MW, 282.4 MW, and 460.0 MW for the same periods, respectively. We expect to ship 460 to 500 MW of solar modules for the third quarter of 2013 and 1.5 to 1.7 GW for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
Beginning in 2011, we began to develop solar projects. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our share of completed solar projects amounted to 105 MW, with annual power generation capacity approaching 158 million kWh. We are able to operate and maintain our solar projects at minimal costs. Unlike other power generation facilities, solar projects are less susceptible to risks associated with fuel prices.
Our solar projects generally begin with the signing of a non-binding investment agreement with the local government, which outlines the size and location of the project. While an investment agreement is not required for the construction of solar projects, we generally receive preferential treatment from the local governments as a result of signing such agreements. After signing the investment agreement, we will solicit the preliminary approval of the provincial NDRC. After receiving the preliminary approval, we will apply for the interconnection plan with the provincial grid company and prepare and submit applications to a number of local government authorities for approvals, such as environmental and land approvals. At the same time, we
2
will conduct an operational and financial feasibility study. After receiving the local governmental permissions, we will apply for the construction permit, the final approval by the provincial NDRC, and, upon receipt, begin construction. Construction typically requires three to four months. After construction, we apply for the Electric Power Business Certificate with State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Finally, we sign the electricity sale agreement and interconnection agreement with the provincial grid company. It generally takes approximately seven to eight months from the signing of the investment agreement to obtaining the construction permit.
We currently have fully secured permits and begun construction for another 108 MW of projects which we expect to connect to grid in 2013. We also have another 700 MW of projects currently under evaluation in our project pipeline, 200 to 300 MW of which are in various stages of permitting and expected to connect to grid in 2014, and the balance in early stages.
The following map shows the status of the projects we expect to complete in 2013 as of the date of this prospectus supplement.

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 3, 2007. On May 14, 2010, the Company became listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the United States. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group) are principally engaged in the design, development, production and marketing of photovoltaic products and also provide solar system integration services as well as developing commercial solar power projects.
JinkoSolar Technology Limited (Paker, formally known as Paker Technology Limited) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a limited liability company on November 10, 2006 by a Hong Kong citizen and a citizen of People's Republic of China (the PRC), who held the investment on behalf of three PRC shareholders (the Shareholders) via a series of entrustment agreements. On December 16, 2008, all of the then existing shareholders of Paker exchanged their respective shares of Paker for equivalent classes of shares of the Company (the Share Exchange). As a result, Paker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 13, 2006, Paker established Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (Jiangxi Jinko) as a wholly foreign owned enterprise in Shangrao, Jiangxi province, the PRC.
In June 2009, the Company acquired 100% equity interest in Zhejiang Jinko for a total consideration of RMB100 million. The acquisition was consummated on June 30, 2009. Consequently, the Company consolidated the financial statements of Zhejiang Jinko starting from June 30, 2009. Zhejiang Jinko is a solar cell manufacturer which was also one of Jiangxi Jinko's major solar wafer customers before the acquisition.
The following table sets forth information concerning the Companys major subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013:

a. | Basis of presentation and use of estimates |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for interim financial information.
In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Companys interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30 2012 and June 30, 2013. The year-end condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Companys unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful receivables, provision for inventories and advances to suppliers, impairment of long-lived assets, the economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used to measure impairment of goodwill, property, plant and equipment, project assets and intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities including accruals for warranty costs, accounting for share-based compensation, fair value measurements, legal contingencies, and income taxes and related tax valuation allowance, and the assessment of going concern assumption as discussed below.
The Company has negative working capital at June 30, 2013. Management believes that the Companys current cash position as of June 30, 2013, the cash expected to be generated from operations and funds available from borrowings under the bank quotas will be sufficient to meet the Companys operation needs for at least the next twelve months from June 30, 2013. However, given that certain bank borrowings and bonds are due within the near term future (Note 15), and possible exercise of the put option of the convertible senior notes on May 15, 2014 (Note 17), sufficient funds may not be available to the Company. Accordingly,
10
the Company may need to reduce discretionary spending and raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that would restrict the Company. Additional funds may not be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. Failure to manage discretionary spending or raise additional capital or debt financing as required may adversely impact the Companys ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The Company believes, although it is not certain, that it will be able to maintain compliance with the convertible senior notes covenants including the put option of the notes on May 15, 2014 to repurchase the notes (Note 17) and repay short term borrowings and other liabilities as those become due for at least the next twelve months from June 30, 2013, and as such, these financial statements are prepared under the going concern assumption which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012.
b. | Consolidation |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
For the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries, non-controlling interests is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group.
c. | Foreign currency translation |
The Group's reporting currency is the Renminbi (RMB), the official currency in the PRC. The Company and certain subsidiaries use RMB as their functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China (the PBOC) prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the applicable balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains or losses are included in exchange loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
For consolidation purpose, the financial statements of the Companys subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the RMB are translated into RMB using exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses and gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/(loss).
The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the Peoples Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in Chinas foreign exchange trading system market.
d. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities of three months or less.
11
e. | Restricted cash |
Restricted cash represents deposits legally held by a bank which are not available for the Groups general use. These deposits are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit, letters of guarantee and bank acceptance notes to vendors for purchase of machinery, inventory, and forward contracts.
f. | Short-term investments |
Short-term investments represent the bank time deposits with original maturities longer than three months and less than one year.
g. | Accounts receivable |
Specific provisions are made against accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Groups customers to make payments. The Group periodically assessed accounts receivable balances to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts should be made based upon historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Accounts receivable in the balance sheets are stated net of such provision, if any. Before approving sales to each customer, the Group conducts a credit assessment for each customer to evaluate the collectability of such sales. The assessment usually takes into consideration the credit worthiness of such customer and its guarantor, if any, the Groups historical payment experience with such customer, industry-wide trends with respect to credit terms, including the terms offered by competitors, and the macro-economic conditions of the region to which sales will be made. The Group will execute a sales order with a customer and arrange for shipment only if its credit assessment concludes that the collectability with such customer is reasonably assured. The Group may also from time to time require security deposits from certain customers to minimize its credit risk. After the sales are made, the Group closely monitors the credit situation of each customer on an on-going basis for any subsequent change in its financial position, business development and credit rating, and will evaluate whether any of such adverse change warrants further action to be taken by the Group, including asserting claims and/or initiating legal proceedings against the customer and/or its guarantor, as well as making provisions. It is also the Groups general practice to suspend further sales to any customer with significant overdue balances. The receivable from insurance is only recorded when insurance claim has been submitted to the insurance company and been accepted and acknowledged by the carrier and recovery is considered reasonably assured. Upon recording the recovery, the bad debt expense is reduced.
h. | Short-term and long-term advances to suppliers |
The Group provides short-term and long-term advances to secure its raw material needs, which are then offset against future purchases. The Group continually assesses the credit quality of its suppliers and the factors that affect the credit risk. If there is deterioration in the creditworthiness of its suppliers, the Group will seek to recover its advances to suppliers and provide for losses on advances which are akin to receivables in operating expenses because of suppliers inability to return its advances. Recoveries of the allowance for advances to supplier are recognized when they are received. The Company classified short-term and long-term advances to suppliers based on managements best estimate of the expected purchase in the next twelve-months as of the balance sheet date and the Groups ability to make requisite purchases under existing supply contracts. The balances expected to be utilized outside of the 12 months are recorded in advances to suppliers to be utilized beyond one year. A provision of advance to suppliers of RMB129,843,440 and nil was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
i. | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Provisions are made for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventories as well as for inventories with carrying values in excess of market. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so the
12
Group continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, customer concentrations, and other factors. The reserve or write-down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required that could negatively impact the Groups gross margin and operating results. If actual market conditions are more favorable, the Group may have higher gross margin when products that have been previously reserved or written down are eventually sold. The sale of previously reserved inventory did not have a material impact on our gross margin percentage for any of the years presented.
In addition, the Group analyzes its firm purchase commitments, which currently consist primarily of the fixed price polysilicon supplier agreements, at each period end. Provision is made in the current period when the anticipated inventories cost from future execution of such supplier agreement is in excess of market. There was no loss provision recorded related to these long-term contracts for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.
j. | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the prices paid to acquire or construct the assets, interest capitalized during the construction period and any expenditure that substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation, taking into consideration any estimated residual value, is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings | 20 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 10 years | |
Furniture, fixture and office equipment | 3 - 5 years | |
Motor vehicles | 4 - 5 years |
Construction in progress primarily represents the construction of new production line. Costs incurred in the construction are capitalized and transferred to property, plant and equipment upon completion, at which time depreciation commences.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, if any, is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the disposed assets, and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations upon disposal.
k. | Project assets |
Project assets consist primarily of costs relating to construction of solar power plants at various stages of development. These costs include costs for land and costs for developing and constructing a PV solar power plant. Upon completion of development and connection of the solar power plants, income generated from connection to the grid is recognized as revenue and the project assets are amortized over the expected life of 20 years.
l. | Land use rights |
Land use rights represent fees paid to obtain the right to use land in the PRC. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the terms specified in land use right certificates of 50 years or 70 years, as applicable.
13
m. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets include purchase software and fees paid to register trademarks and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are 5 and 10 years, respectively.
n. | Business combination |
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that the acquisition consideration to be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities that the Company acquires based on their estimated fair values. The Group makes estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities based on its experience with similar assets and liabilities in similar industries. If different judgments or assumptions were used, the amounts assigned to the individual acquired assets or liabilities could be materially different.
o. | Investments in affiliates |
The Group holds equity investments in affiliates for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. These investments are accounted for under equity method of accounting wherein the Group records its proportionate share of the investees' income or loss in its consolidated financial statements.
Investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. An impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Group reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (1) nature of the investment; (2) cause and duration of the impairment; (3) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (4) financial conditions and near term prospects of the issuers; and (5) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
p. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Groups long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, project assets and other intangible assets with finite lives. The Groups business requires heavy investment in manufacturing equipment that is technologically advanced, but can quickly become significantly under-utilized or rendered obsolete by rapid changes in demand for solar power products produced with those equipment.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Group may recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or discounted cash flow analyses.
q. | Leases |
Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. A lease that transfers to the lessee substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership is classified as a capital lease. At inception, a capital lease is recorded at the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset, whichever is less. Assets under capital leases are amortized on a basis consistent with that of similar fixed assets or the lease term, whichever is less. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
14
r. | Revenue recognition |
The Group recognizes revenue for product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For all sales, the Group requires a contract or purchase order which quantifies pricing, quantity and product specifications.
For sales of photovoltaic products from PRC to foreign customers, delivery of the products generally occurs at the point in time the product is delivered to the named port of shipment, which is when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. For sales of PV products to domestic customers in PRC or by foreign subsidiaries, delivery of the product occurs generally at the point in time the product is received by the customer, which is when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. In the case of sales that are contingent upon customer acceptance, revenue is not recognized until the deliveries are formally accepted by the customers.
The Group enters into certain sales contracts with retainage terms since the second half of 2012, under which customers were allowed to withhold payment of 5% to 10% of the full contract price as retainage after a specified period which generally range from one year to two years (the Retainage Period). Given the limited experience the Group has with respect to the collectability of the retainage, the Group defers recognition of the retainage as revenue until the customers pay it after the Retainage Period expires. As of June 30, 2013, the total amounts of retainage that were not recognized as revenue were RMB146,881,372.
The Group provides solar power product processing services to customers and the revenue of processing services is recognized upon completion which is generally evidenced by delivery of processed products to the customers.
The Company recognizes revenue related to solar system integration projects on the percentage-of-completion method. The Company estimates its revenues by using the cost-to-cost method, whereby it derives a ratio by comparing the costs incurred to date to the total costs expected to be incurred on the project. The Company applies the ratio computed in the cost-to-cost analysis to the contract price to determine the estimated revenues earned in each period. When the Company determines that total estimated costs will exceed total revenues under a contract, it records a loss accordingly.
The Company recognized income from generated electricity as revenue upon completion of development and connection of the solar power plant to the grid.
Advance payments received from customers for the future sale of inventory are recognized as advances from third party customers in the consolidated balance sheets. Advances from third party customers are recognized as revenues when the conditions for revenue recognition described above have been satisfied. Advances from third party customers have been recognized as a current liability because the amount at each balance sheet date is expected to be recognized as revenue within twelve months.
In the PRC, value added tax (VAT) at a general rate of 17% on invoice amount is collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of the sales of product and is not recorded as revenue. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability until it is paid to the tax authorities.
s. | Warranty Cost |
Solar modules produced by the Group are typically sold with either a 2-year or 5-year warranty for product defects, and a 10-year and 25-year warranty against declines of more than 10% and 20%, respectively, from the initial minimum power generation capacity at the time of delivery. Therefore, the Group is exposed to potential liabilities that could arise from these warranties. The potential liability is generally in the form of product replacement or repair.
15
Due to limited warranty claim history, the Group estimates warranty costs based on an assessment for its competitors history while incorporating estimates of failure rates through its quality review. Consequently, the Group accrues the equivalent of 1% of gross revenues as a warranty liability to accrue the estimated cost of its warranty obligations. Actual warranty costs incurred for warranty claims by customers are recorded in and charged against the accrued warranty liability. To the extent that actual warranty costs differ from the estimates, the Group will prospectively revise its accrual rate.
We purchase warranty insurance policy which provides coverage for the product warranty services of our solar modules worldwide. Prepayment for warranty insurance premium is initially recorded as other assets and is amortized over the insurance coverage period. Prepayment for warranty insurance premium is not recorded as reduction of estimated warranty liabilities. Once the Company receives insurance recoveries, warranty expenses will be credited. The accrual for warranty cost as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 was RMB130,517,641 and RMB 168,805,500, respectively. The warranty costs were classified as current liabilities under other payables and accruals, and non-current liabilities under accrued warranty costs non-current, respectively, which reflect our estimate of the timing of when the warranty expenditures will likely be made. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, warranty cost expenses were RMB20,169,409 and RMB27,732,389, respectively. The utilization of the warranty accruals for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 were RMB5,074,917 and RMB1,177,855.
t. | Income taxes |
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the change in tax rates or tax laws is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
The accounting for uncertain tax positions requires that the Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Group's policy is to recognize, if any, tax related interest as interest expenses and penalties as general and administrative expenses. The Group did not have any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, as there were no uncertain tax positions.
u. | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company does not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (also referred to as an exit price). A hierarchy is established for inputs used in measuring fair value that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs.
When available, the Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on quoted market prices in active markets, valuation techniques that use observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Pricing information the Company obtains from third parties is internally
16
validated for reasonableness prior to use in the consolidated financial statements. When observable market prices are not readily available, the Company generally estimates the fair value using valuation techniques that rely on alternate market data or inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources and are estimated based on pertinent information available at the time of the applicable reporting periods. In certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may fluctuate as economic and market factors vary and the Company's evaluation of those factors changes. Although the Company uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. In these cases, a minor change in an assumption could result in a significant change in its estimate of fair value, thereby increasing or decreasing the amounts of the Company's consolidated assets, liabilities, equity and net income.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts and notes receivable, forward contract receivable, other receivables, prepayments and other current assets, capped call options, accounts and notes payable, other payables and accruals, forward contract payables, bonds payable, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, guarantee liabilities and convertible senior notes.
The Company elects to classify the cash flows related to realized gain or loss on settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts as operating activities, which are based on the nature of the cash flows the derivative is economically hedging.
v. | Government grants |
Government grants related to technology upgrades and enterprise development are recognized as subsidy income when received. These subsidies were non-recurring, not refundable and with no conditions, including none related to specific use or disposition of the funds, attached. Such amounts were recorded as subsidy income in the consolidated statements of operations. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to enjoy such benefits and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities.
Government grants related to assets are initially recorded as other payables and accruals which are then deducted from the carrying amount when the assets are ready for use.
w. | Earnings/(Loss) per share |
Basic earnings(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the change in income or loss as result from the assumed conversion of those participating securities, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary share equivalents consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible senior notes (using the if-converted method) and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method). Potential dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share if the effect is anti-dilutive.
x. | Share based compensation |
The Companys share-based payment transactions with employees, including share options, are measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. The fair value of the award is recognized as compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is generally the vesting period.
17
y. | Other comprehensive income/(loss) |
Other comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The Companys other comprehensive income/(loss) for each period presented is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustment of the Companys foreign subsidiaries whose assets and liabilities are translated from their respective functional currencies at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the applicable period.
z. | Convenience translation |
Translations of amounts from RMB into United States dollars (US$ or USD) are solely for the convenience of readers and were calculated at the rate of RMB6.1374 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 28, 2013, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on June 28, 2013, or at any other rate.
aa. | Investments |
Investments in entities where the Group does not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group's share of the investee's results of operations is included in equity gain/(loss) for the investee in the Group's consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and the equity method investees are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the investees, if any; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
On December 20, 2012, JinkoSolar has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jinchuan Group Co., Ltd. (Jinchuan Group), a Chinese state-owned enterprise, to jointly invest and establish a Company (Gansu Jintai or investee), to develop 200 MW photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant in Jinchang, Gansu Province, China. The Group held 28% equity interest in Gansu Jintai and accounts for its investment in Gansu Jintai using the equity method as the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee,. The Groups share of Gansu Jintais results of operations is included in equity gain/(loss) in affiliated companies in the Groups consolidated statements of operations.
ab. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statements of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on their financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 gives companies an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment, a company concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if a company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim
18
impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standard in the first quarter of 2013 did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, this update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 for public entities. The adoption of this Update beginning on January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on its income or capital gains. In addition, upon any payment of dividends by the Company, no Cayman Islands withholding tax is imposed.
On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China (the CIT Law) with effective on January 1, 2008. The CIT Law enacted a statutory income tax rate of 25%. As foreign invested enterprises, Jiangxi Jinko and Zhejiang Jinko are entitled to a two year tax exemption from CIT and a 50% CIT reduction for the succeeding three years thereafter.

The Company adopted ASC 740-270 approach for interim period tax computation and reporting. As of June 30, 2012 and 2013, full valuation allowances were provided against deferred tax assets because it was more likely than not that such portion of deferred tax will not be realized based on the future taxable incomes of all its subsidiaries.
In the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment of income tax benefit amounted to RMB12,146,071 resulting from income tax filing difference for two PRC entities, which should have been recorded in the year ended December 31, 2011. The originating amount in 2011 was not material to the 2011 consolidated financial statements, nor was the out of period adjustment recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2012 material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period then ended or the year ended December 31, 2012.
Short-term investments included term deposits with original maturity of more than 3 months. The carrying value of term deposits approximated their fair value because such deposits bear market interest rates and have short period of maturity.
21
As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, term deposits with amount of RMB 40,665,079 and RMB14,100,000 were held as collateral for issuance of bank acceptance notes to vendors for purchase of raw materials.

The Group assesses creditworthiness of customers before granting any credit terms. This assessment is primarily based on reviewing of customers financial statements and historical collection records, discussion with customers senior management, and reviewing of information provided by third parties, such as Dun & Bradstreet and the insurance company that ultimately insures the Group against customer credit default. Reversal represents cash collection received subsequently.

The Group's advance payments to suppliers for purchase contracts with term of more than one year were made to two major suppliers, Hoku Materials, Inc. (Hoku), a fully owned subsidiary of Hoku Corporation (formerly known as Hoku Scientific, Inc.) and Wuxi ZhongCai Technologies Co., Ltd., (Wuxi Zhongcai), respectively. The Group previously entered into long-term polysilicon supply agreements with each of Hoku and Wuxi Zhongcai. As a result of continuing significant decline in the polysilicon purchase price and the adverse developments in those suppliers operations during 2012, including the suspension of their productions, the Group made full provision of RMB223,043,440 for the full outstanding balances of advance payments made to those two suppliers under long-term polysilicon supply contracts during the year ended December 31, 2012. No provision for advance to suppliers was made in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.
22
As of June 30, 2013, advances to suppliers mainly represent term of less than 1 year payments for procurement of recoverable silicon materials, virgin polysilicon and solar cells and the Group has delivery plan with the respective suppliers to receive the materials in the next twelve months.

Holders have the option to convert their Notes from the earlier of (i) when the registration statement of the Notes becomes effective and (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the Notes are first issued, through to and including the business day prior to the maturity date into ADSs representing the ordinary shares initially at a conversion rate of 29.6307 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$33.75 per ADS).
The conversion rate is subject to change on anti-dilution and upon certain fundamental changes. Fundamental changes are defined as 1) any person or group beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Companys shares or has the power to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors; 2) Company consolidates with, or merge with or into, another person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company; 3) Termination of trading of Companys ADSs; and 4) adoption of a plan relating to our liquidation or dissolution.
The holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a fundamental change for an amount equal to the 100% of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest in the event of fundamental changes. Management assessed that the likelihood of fundamental change is remote.
28
The holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on May 15, 2014 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
While the Notes remain outstanding, the Company or its subsidiaries will not create or permit to subsist any security upon its property, assets or revenues (present or future) to secure any international investment securities or to secure any guarantee of or indemnity of any international investment securities unless the obligations under the Notes and the indenture (a) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (b) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
The Company has RMB as its functional currency, and the Notes are denominated in USD. As a result, the conversion feature is dual indexed to the Companys stock as well as the RMB and USD exchange rate, and is considered an embedded derivative which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815.
ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value election can be made instrument by instrument and shall be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election.
The Company elected to measure the Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income or loss at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. Further, as the functional currency of the Company is RMB, the fair value of the Notes is translated into RMB at each balance sheet date with the difference being reported as exchange gain or loss. In addition, all issuance costs associated with the Notes offering has been expensed as incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011.
The estimated fair value of the Notes amounted to approximately RMB483,581,668 and RMB 559,057,290 as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, the Company recorded foreign exchange loss of RMB1,607,192 and gain of RMB8,909,029, loss from change in fair value of convertible senior notes of RMB14,916,191 and RMB84,384,652, respectively.
As a result of the depressed market conditions, the Company repurchased the Notes with face value of US$2 million or 1.6% of the Notes at approximately 41% of the face value as of December 31, 2011. There were no repurchase of the Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.
Concurrent with the Companys issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes on May 17, 2011, it entered into a capped call option transactions with an affiliate of the initial purchaser of the Notes. The capped call transaction was designed to reduce the potential dilution that would otherwise occur as a result of new ordinary share issuances upon conversion of the Notes and effectively increase the conversion price of the Notes for the Company to $48.21 per ADS from the actual conversion price to the Notes holders of $33.75 per ADS. The total premium paid by the Company for the capped call transactions was US$18 million. The purchaser of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on May 15, 2014 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Companys functional currency is different from the denomination of the capped call. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company accounted for the capped call transactions
29
as freestanding derivative assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The derivative is marked to market each reporting period utilizing the binomial model.
The fair value of capped call options was RMB16,131,208 and RMB28,101,537 as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013. An amount of loss of RMB6,772,277 and gain of RMB12,158,716 was recorded in change in fair value of capped call options for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.

In July 2008, we entered into a long-term supply agreement with Wuxi Zhongcai, a producer of virgin polysilicon materials. We provided a prepayment of RMB95.6 million pursuant to such contract. Wuxi Zhongcai subsequently halted production as a result of the adverse changes in the polysilicon market. In February 2013, we sued Wuxi Zhongcai in Shangrao City Intermediate People's Court for the refund of the outstanding balance of our prepayment of RMB93.2 million after deducting delivery made to us by an affiliate of Wuxi Zhongcai. In January 2013, we notified Wuxi Zhongcai to terminate our long-term supply agreement. In February 2013, Wuxi Zhongcai sued us in Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court for approximately RMB2.7 million for breaching the contract by failing to make allegedly required payments. We considered the recovery of the RMB93.2 million unlikely as a result of the polysilicon market conditions, the mutually alleged claims and the adverse developments in the operations of Wuxi Zhongcai and recorded provisions of RMB93.2 million for the balance of our prepayment to Wuxi Zhongcai. As of the date of this report, these suits are still pending. The Company is unable to reliably estimate the probability of the case and the range of any exposure if any.

A hierarchy is established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. As such, fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted price in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, or quoted prices in less active markets; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs with respect to which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with local banks to reduce the exposure of significant changes in exchange rates between Renminbi and foreign currencies. Authoritative guidance requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments. The Company's derivative instruments have not met the criteria for hedge accounting within authoritative guidance. Therefore, the foreign currency forward contracts have been recorded at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within Change in fair value of forward contracts in the period in which they occur. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company held foreign exchange forward contracts with a total notional value of US$239 million and EUR55.66 million as of June 30, 2013. These foreign exchange forward contracts mature between 1 to 18 months. The Company used a discounted cash-flow methodology to measure fair value, which requires inputs such as interest yield curves and foreign exchange rates. The significant inputs used in the aforementioned model can be corroborated with market observable data and therefore the fair value measurements are classified as level 2. Typically, any losses or gains on the forward exchange contracts are offset by re-measurement losses or gains on the underlying balances denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company's foreign currency exchange contract is an over-the-counter instrument.
The Company has adopted valuation models to assess the fair value for capped call options and the Notes, as the capped call options are not publicly traded and the trading of the Notes is considered inactive. Management is responsible for determining these fair values and assessing a number of factors. Both capped call options and the Notes are valued using the Binominal Tree option pricing model. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgments as well as the Companys best estimates on the valuation date. The main inputs to this model include underlying share price, expected share volatility, expected dividend yield, risk free interest rate etc.
As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, information about inputs into the fair value measurements of the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows:

Exhibit 99.3
Revision of Cash Flow Items
In 2013, we determined that government grants received in relation to fixed assets had previously been incorrectly classified as an operating cash inflow item in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. Government grants related to fixed assets of RMB66.6 million and RMB59.6 million should have been classified as an investing cash inflow item instead of an operating cash inflow item in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We have concluded that the impact of these amounts is not material to our previously reported operating or investing cash flows, and had no impact on our total cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. We will revise the statement of cash flow presentation for these immaterial corrections in future filings.
