Apollo Solar Energy reports full year 2008 financial results


Posted by Debasish Choudhury on 16 April 2009 at 12:39


The Board of Directors of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc., a leading vertically integrated miner, refiner and producer of tellurium (Te) and high-purity tellurium based metals for specific segments of the global electronic materials market, announces financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2008.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, net sales increased 248% to $6.9 million compared to $2.0 million for the previous year.

Gross profit for 2008 increased 164% to $1.8 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year.

Total operating expenses for 2008 were $1.5 million, or 21.7% of net sales, compared to $0.2 million, or 9.7% of net sales, in the prior year.

Operating profit for 2008 was $0.29 million compared to $0.49 million in the prior year.

Net income for 2008 was $18,592, or $0.001 per diluted share, compared to $493,922, or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior year. "We are excited about our operating results for 2008, especially in light of the current economic conditions. It has been a challenging year as we had the earth quake in May that in addition to being devastating, stopped all our production. We were also in transition for a majority of the year, building a new production facility and moving from the old production facility to the new facility. We are now well positioned to take advantage of this modern facility and make use of the capacity to produce more products to sell to our customers," commented Mr. Hou Renyi, CEO and Chairman of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc.

On April 10, the Company signed a variable interest entity agreement ("VIE") with Sichuan Xinju Mineral Resources Development Corporation and certain of its shareholders holding a majority of its voting stock. Under the terms of the VIE, the Company was granted the exclusive exploration rights to the Dashuigou area and mining rights to the tellurium mine in Majiagou owned by Xinju in accordance with a license granted by the Chinese government, which extends through January, 2013, subject to potential renewal thereafter.

Commenting on the VIE, Mr. Hou said: "We are extremely pleased with the VIE agreements. They give us access to another tellurium mine. We intend to source 60 to 70% of tellurium from these mines by 2010 and this will put us in a very competitive cost position. The exploration rights in the Dashuigou area assigned to us through the VIE will allow us to explore potential deposits of tellurium in the area as well."

Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2009 Financial Results

CHENGDU, China, May 15 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. (News), (OTC Bulletin Board: ASOE; "Apollo Solar Energy" or "the Company"), a leading vertically integrated miner and refiner of tellurium (Te) and high-purity tellurium based metals for specific segments of the global electronic materials market, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2009 increased 21% to $2.3 million from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2008.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 decreased 37% to $0.5 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in cost of raw materials, labor cost, and the change in product mix.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2009 increased to $1.1 million compared to $0.2 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was a result of higher administrative expenses required to support a growing revenue base, as well as professional fees incurred as a publicly listed company, options granted and an increase in depreciation expense.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.55 million compared to profit of $0.62 million in the prior year.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $655,332, or $0.1 per diluted share, compared to net income of $475,369 or $0.1 per diluted share in the prior year.

"We are satisfied with the results for the first quarter of 2009. The latter part of 2008 and into 2009 has been a transition period for Apollo Solar Energy, and we, like other firms have weathered a difficult US market. During this period however, we have built upon our solid asset base of producing tellurium mines and our new refining facility in Chengdu, with the addition of seasoned executives, board members and advisors. Our results further support our premise that owning the tellurium feedstock in CdTe production is essential for the long term viability of any refiner, particularly in the thin film solar industry. In addition, our recently completed technical review by Behre Dolbear&Company of the Dashuigou and Majiagou mines provides a solid base of support to continue with the exploration and mining of these properties," commented Mr. Hou Renyi, CEO and Chairman of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. "We continue to pursue innovative technologies and processes to be a leading vertically integrated miner and refiner of tellurium (Te) and high-purity tellurium based metals for the global electronic materials market."

Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results

CHENGDU, China, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: ASOE; "Apollo Solar Energy" or "the Company"), a leading vertically integrated miner and refiner of tellurium (Te) and high-purity tellurium based metals for specific segments of the global electronic materials market, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Second quarter of 2009:

Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased 48% to $1.7 million from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 increased 155% to $0.4 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to our improved tellurium processing techniques and stable demand that led to continual production and higher efficiency.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2009 increased to $0.8 million compared to $0.4 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was a result of higher administrative expenses required to support a growing revenue base, as well as professional fees incurred as a publicly listed company, stock based compensation expenses for options granted and an increase in depreciation expense.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.4 million compared to profit of $0.2 million in the prior year.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior year.

First six months of 2009:

Revenue for the first six months of 2009 increased 31% to $4.0 million from $3.1 million in the same period of 2008.

Gross profit for the first six months of 2009 decreased 5.9% to $0.9 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in cost of raw materials, labor cost, and the change in product mix.

Operating expenses in the first six months of 2009 increased to $1.8 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was a result of higher administrative expenses, as well as professional fees incurred as a publicly listed company, stock based compensation expenses for options granted and an increase in depreciation expense.

Operating loss for the first six months of 2009 was $0.9 million compared to profit of $0.4 million in the prior year.

Net loss for the first six months of 2009 was $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.2 million or $0.1 per diluted share in the prior year.

"We are satisfied with the results for the second quarter of 2009. The first part of 2009 has been a difficult period for Apollo Solar Energy, and we, like other firms have weathered a difficult US market. During this period, however, we are still able to maintain our sales of tellurium products. Our results further support our premise that owning the tellurium feedstock in CdTe production is essential for the long term viability of any refiner, particularly in the thin film solar industry. In addition, our recently completed technical review by Behre Dolbear&Company of the Dashuigou and Majiagou mines provides a solid base of support to continue with the exploration and mining of these properties", commented Mr. Hou Renyi, CEO and Chairman of Apollo Solar Energy, Inc.

Apollo Solar Energy to build a 2MW Demo solar power station in Ningguo City, Anhui Province, China


Posted by Debasish Choudhury on 19 May 2010 at 08:00


Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. (Apollo Solar), a refiner and producer of high purity tellurium (Te) and tellurium-based metals for the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry and specific segments of the electronic materials market worldwide, in the People's Republic of China, today announced that the Company has signed an agreement with the Ningguo Municipal Government to build a 2MW demo solar power station in Ningguo City, Anhui Province, China.

According to the agreement, Apollo Solar will invest 60 MM RMB (US $8.75 MM) to build the 2 MW demo solar power station and will be responsible for the construction of the entire project, including planning, design, construction and installation of the solar power station.

The 2MW demo solar power station is expected to become operational in September 2010. The agreement provides for the payment of subsidies to Apollo Solar from central, provincial and local government entities in the PRC for electricity generated by the power station, as follows:

* 2.15 Yuan RMB (US $0.31) per kilowatt hour (kwh) during the first year of operation of the power station;
* 1.70 Yuan RMB (US $0.25) per kwh during the second year of operation of the power station; and
* 1.50 Yuan RMB (US $0.21) per kwh during the third and following years of operation of the power station, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the central government of China.

Apollo Solar believes that the availability of these types of subsidies could make solar power stations profitable and could attract potential investors to invest in commercial solar power stations.

"We are very pleased to sign the agreement with Ningguo Municipal Government to build the 2 MW demo solar power station, the first project of those contemplated by the non-binding letter of intent signed in April between Apollo Solar and the Ningguo Municipal Government" stated Mr. Renyi Hou, the CEO of the Company. "Apollo Solar has purchased 2 MW of thin film solar panels in the US and we expect the shipment to arrive at Ningguo City in mid- June of 2010. We then anticipate completing the installation of the 2 MW of thin film solar panels, and beginning testing of the operation, by the end of September, 2010."

"We believe that governmental support for the solar PV industry, including Cadmium-Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cells, could lead to the commercialization of solar power stations. At the Mediterranean Solar Plan Conference on May 11, in Valencia, Spain, the International Energy Agency, IEA, predicted that 20-25% of total electricity supply will come from solar power stations before 2050 if governments continue current subsidy policies for the solar PV industry, though current solar power is far below 1%." Mr. Hou commented. "Apollo Solar plans to procure high quality thin film solar panels with competitive pricing through OEM agreements which we believe will allow us to enter the downstream solar PV industry to build and operate solar power stations."

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Sales

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $1,073,774, compared to the sales of $2,308,619 in the same period in 2009. This decrease of 53.5% was primarily attributable to the global financial crisis and the long lead time of our products. Due to the financial crisis, a significant number of our customers did not place order as planned at the second half of last year, and the long lead time cause a long period of time between the date we received the orders and the time we ship the goods and recognize the revenue. As such, our business volume was reduced for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, the Company’s tighter credit policy to customers and the high degree of concentration on certain customers in the past also contributed to the drop of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $839,028, compared to the cost of sales of $1,811,687 for the period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in dollar amount was 53.7% and was in line with the decrease of sales. The Solar industry is strong globally, which helped stimulate the market for non-ferrous metal materials. As a result, the demand for tellurium material has largely increased, leading to pricing changes. The Company is currently negotiating with its customers, including First Solar, on the price of its products. The products manufactured for First Solar that were not delivered in the first quarter of 2010 are expected to be sold in the near future.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $234,746, compared to the gross profit of $496,932 for the period ended March 31, 2009. This represented a decrease of $262,185, or 52.8%, compared to the same period of 2009, which was in line with the decrease of sales. The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 21.9%, compared to that of 21.5% in the same period of 2009. The decrease in gross profit was in line with the decrease in sales. Profit margin remained stable as we have developed a relatively mature method of production.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, selling and marketing expenses were $72,101, compared to $70,497 for the same period ended March 31, 2009, representing an increase of 2.3%. In February 2009, we signed an agreement to appoint CERAC as our exclusive agent to distribute our products in North America, excluding First Solar. The exclusive agreement was reduced to a non-exclusive general distributor agreement in September 2009, as guaranteed sales volume fell short, this contributed to the increase of selling expense. In addition, to overcome this difficult time, we increased our expending on marketing, trying to explore and develop new markets, this will not only enhance our sales in the future, but also will improve our position through changing the situation that we were over concentrated on a few customers in the past. Both we believe will bring positive effects on our future sales.

General and administrative expenses

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,190,137 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, when compared to that of $968,595 in the same period of 2009, representing an increase of 22.9%. The increase was primarily due to the growth in salary and the option related expense, which has increased $70,501, or 87.4%, and $194,256, or 97% respectively compared to the same period of 2009. The increase of salary was primarily due to additional administrative staff was also added to support our listing functions, and the increase of option related expense was due to the increased number of options issued to senior officers and directors in February and April 2009, expenses of which were only partially or not occurred for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Research and development expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred R&D expenses of $9,577, compared to $11,018 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This represents a decrease of 13.1% although the percentage of research and development expenses took of sales has increased from 0.5% to 0.9%. The decrease of absolute amount of spending on research and development expenses was due to the lower salary of R&D employees. In the second quarter of 2009 we reduced headcount of the R&D department but in the third quarter we re-filled the vacancy with same qualified, but lower salary people thanks to the competitive labor supply market at that time. We are committed to the improvement of product quality and the development of new products. We will continue to invest in R&D to ensure our products are of high quality and remain competitive.

Net income/loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had a net loss of $1,086,159, compared to net loss of $655,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The main reason for decrease in net income in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was a decrease in sales and an increase in costs, primarily in administrative costs representing stock based compensation. Included in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was non-cash stock based compensation of $394,436.

Apollo Solar Energy Releases 10K of 2010 on April 8, 2011


CHENGDU, China, April 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: ASOE) ("Apollo" or "the Company"), a vertically integrated miner, refiner and producer of high purity tellurium (Te), tellurium-based compounds and other metals for the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry and specific segments of the electronic materials market worldwide filed its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K on April 8, 2011.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $9,594,382, compared to the net sales of $7,813,605 for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company had a net loss of $6,198,432, compared to a net loss of $915,571 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The primary reason for the increase in net loss in 2010 was a decrease in gross margin and an increase in costs, primarily in administrative costs representing increased depreciation expenses and professional fees. In 2010, stock based compensation expense was $3,595,196. In 2009 stock based compensation expense was $1,844,233. Excluding stock based compensation expenses, we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $3,375,996 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to expenses of $3,742,275 for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of 9.79%. This decrease was primarily due to stricter budget controls introduced by our current management team.

"Although the Company had a net loss for 2010, we believe we made significant progress in 2010. The Company signed a long-term material supply agreement with First Solar, and further penetrated the international market in 2010, with 66.8% of total sales in 2010 representing exports, compared only 13% in 2009. Additionally, we entered into a Joint Research Agreement with the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a joint goal towards developing novel CdTe thin film PV technology," Dr. Jingong Pan, CEO of Apollo Solar, stated, "We believe that our new marketing strategy, which focuses on additional three product lines (material for solar panel glass, material for signal integrated processors and substrate material for LED) will have a positive impact on our future results of operations. In addition, we believe that the Chinese government's increasing support of solar energy developments will increase demand for our products in 2011 and beyond."
