Adjustments to Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Year 2009 Financial Results

Since ReneSola Ltd (“ReneSola” or the “Company”) issued its earnings release for the unaudited results as of and for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2009 on March 10, 2010, as amended on May 10, 2010, the Company made an additional non-recurrent, non-cash adjustment related to its ownership of an equity interest in Timminco Limited (“Timminco”), a polysilicon manufacturer whose shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. At the time of its earnings release, the Company believed it had made the correct determination of the fair value of Timminco based on available information. However, due to a private placement by Timminco in May 2010 which further revealed that the decline in Timminco’s fair value may be permanent, the Company is obligated under U.S. GAAP to record an impairment loss. Accordingly, the Company has decided to record an impairment loss of $13.4 million for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2009 in non-operating expenses as other-than-temporary impairment loss of available-for-sale investment. Among other changes, the adjustment of $13.4 million of the Company’s non-operating expenses would increase its net loss from $60.8 million to $71.9 million and increase its loss per share (both basic and diluted) from $0.41 to $0.49 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and would increase its net loss from $17.0 million to $28.1 million and increase its loss per share (both basic and diluted) from $0.10 to $0.16 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the adjustment from $12.5 million to $6.2 million for its available-for-sale investment would decrease the Company’s total equity from $400.3 million to $396.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

The Company expects to include the adjusted financial results in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in June 2010.
