MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Segment information
The Company began developing solar projects in 2011. During the third quarter of 2013, it changed its operational focus to include both product manufacturing and solar project development. As a result of these changes, the Company’s chief operating decision maker changed the information regularly reviewed for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company began reporting its financial performance based on its two new segments: the manufacturing segment and the solar projects segment.
Revenue from the manufacturing segment consists primarily of sales of solar power products. Costs of revenue for the manufacturing segment consist primarily of costs associated with manufacturing solar products. Revenue from the solar projects segment consists primarily of feed-in-tariffs, including electricity sold on the spot market plus government subsidies. Costs of revenue for the solar projects segment consist primarily of depreciation of project assets and costs associated with operating a solar project.
The following tables set forth the results of operations of its segments and the reconciliation with its consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 and as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013.

In conjunction with the Company’s planned concurrent offering of American Depositary Shares (the “ADS Offering”) and convertible senior notes (the “Notes Offering”), it assessed the impact of the aforementioned segment change on its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 and each of and for the three years ended December 31, 2012, which were previously included in its annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 30, 2013, as amended on May 23, 2013 (the “2012 Annual Report”), which will be incorporated by reference into the registration statement on Form F-3, Registration No. 333-190273, as amended, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2013, (the “Form F-3”) in connection with the ADS offering and the offering memorandum in connection with the Notes Offering (the “Offering Memorandum”). The Company does not consider such segment change material to its financial statements taken as a whole for the periods presented, and therefore it did not retrospectively recast the annual financial statements included in its 2012 Annual Report in conjunction with the Form F-3 or the Offering Memorandum.

The Company shipped solar modules in the range of 500 MW to 530 MW in the fourth quarter of 2013 and in the range 1.7 GW to 1.8 GW for the full year ended December 31, 2013. The Company operated 213 MW of projects as an independent power producer as of December 31, 2013. Its PV multicrystalline cell average conversion efficiency reached 17.9% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Total revenue of RMB3,637.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was derived entirely from the manufacturing segment. Total revenue of RMB5,130.8 million (US$838.4 million) for the same period in 2013 consisted of RMB5,083.9 million (US$830.7 million) from the manufacturing segment and RMB46.9 million (US$7.7 million) from the solar projects segment.
The increase in total revenue from the manufacturing segment was primarily due to an increase in shipments of solar modules from 660 MW for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 1,232 MW for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a significant increase in shipments to China and other Asia-Pacific countries, which was mainly driven by the increased sales and marketing activities 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. Revenue from the increase in shipments was partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of solar modules, primarily due to an increase in the relative oversupply of solar modules and decrease in the price of polysilicon, the principal raw material for PV modules, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the same period in 2013. Cost of revenues for the manufacturing segment increased 20.4% from RMB3,448.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to RMB4,150.9 million (US$678.2 million) for the same period in 2013, primarily as a result of the increase in shipments of solar modules, partially offset by a decrease in the average unit cost for the Company’s solar modules. Gross profit for the manufacturing segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was RMB933.0 million (US$152.5 million), compared to RMB189.6 million for the same period in 2012.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total revenue from the solar project segment was RMB46.9 million (US$7.7 million), all of which was from feed-in-tariffs. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company began recording as revenue government subsidies for electricity revenues from solar projects since July 1, 2013. Of the revenue from generated electricity in the third quarter of 2013, RMB16.7 million (US$2.7 million) was related to the government subsidy for electricity revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013, RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million) was related to the government subsidy for electricity revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2012 and RMB14.7 million (US$2.4 million) was related to the government subsidy for electricity revenues in the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the government subsidy for electricity revenues before July 1, 2013 which were recognized during the third quarter of 2013, electricity revenues and gross profit for electricity from solar projects for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were RMB28.1 million (US$4.6 million) and RMB8.2 million (US$1.3 million), respectively. Cost of revenues for the solar projects segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were RMB19.8 million (US$3.2 million) primarily as a result of increased depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Gross profit for the solar projects segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was RMB27.1 million (US$4.4 million). The Company did not generate revenue from the solar project segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Gross margin increased from 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 18.3% for the same period in 2013, primarily due to the Company’s improvements in operating efficiency and continued cost reductions for polysilicon and auxiliary materials, partially offset by lower average selling prices of solar modules.
5 |
Total operating expenses decreased from RMB688.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to RMB513.3 million (US$83.9 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 supplier’s operations and (ii) the reversal of provision for bad debts of RMB119.0 million (US$19.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the subsequent cash collection of long-aged accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in shipping and warranty costs resulting from the increase in solar module shipments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its operations primarily through equity contributions from its shareholders, the net proceeds of its securities offerings, cash flow generated from operations, as well as issuance of bonds, short-term and long-term debt financing.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had RMB950.0 million (US$155.2 million) in cash and cash equivalents and RMB388.4 million (US$63.5 million) in restricted cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are placed with banks and other financial institutions. The Company’s restricted cash represents deposits legally held by banks which are not available for general use. These deposits are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit and bank acceptable notes to vendors for purchase of machinery and equipment and raw materials.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had entered into purchase agreements for purchasing additional manufacturing equipment. The Company’s purchase capital commitments under these contracts amounted to approximately RMB392.8 million (US$64.2 million) as of September 30, 2013, of which RMB373.9 million (US$61.1 million) will be due within one year after September 30, 2013. The Company plans to use the remaining available cash for research and development and for working capital and other day-to-day operating purposes.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had total bank credit facilities available of RMB4.80 billion (US$784.8 million) with various banks, of which RMB2.86 billion (US$468.0 million) were drawn down and RMB1.94billion (US$316.8 million) were available.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had short-term borrowings (including the portion of long-term borrowings due within one year) of RMB2,020.9 million (US$330.2 million). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of RMB1,839.2 million (US$300.5 million) and RMB181.7 million (US$29.7 million), which were denominated in RMB and U.S. dollars, respectively, and bearing a weighted average interest rates of 6.3% and 2.5% per annum, respectively.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company pledged equipment of a total net book value of RMB2,084.0 million (US$340.5 million) and inventories of a total net book value of RMB212.7 million (US$34.8 million) and land use rights of a total net book value of RMB204.3 million (US$33.4 million) and property and plants of a total net book value of RMB375.1 million (US$61.3 million) to secure repayment of the Company’s short-term borrowings of RMB1,432.2 million (US$234.0 million). As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s outstanding short-term borrowings guaranteed by its founders were RMB542.0 million (US$88.6 million). Although the Company has increased its level of short-term bank borrowings to meet its working capital, capital expenditures and other needs, it has not experienced any difficulties in repaying its borrowings.
The Company had long-term borrowings (excluding the portion of long-term borrowings due within one year) of RMB383.0 million (US$62.6 million) as of September 30, 2013. Long-term borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2013 bore interest at an average annual rate of 7.2%. In connection with most of the Company’s long-term borrowings, it has granted security interests over significant amounts of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2013, the Company pledged land use rights with net book value of RMB78.7 million (US$12.9 million)and project assets of a total net book value of RMB325.2 to secure repayment of borrowings of RMB383.0 million (US$62.6 million). As of September 30, 2013, long-term loans (including the portion of long-term borrowings due within one year) in the amount of RMB278.0 million (US$45.4 million) will be due for repayment upon maturity within one year after September 30, 2013 and long-term loans in the amount of RMB31.0 million (US$5.1 million) will be due for repayment upon maturity in September 30, 2015.

In addition, the Company has substantial repayment obligations under convertible notes that it has issued. On May 17, 2011, the Company issued convertible senior notes in the principal amount of US$125 million due 2016, bearing an annual interest rate of 4.00%, with an option for holders to require us to repurchase their notes in May 2014 for the principal of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Concurrent with the Company’s issuance of the convertible senior notes, it entered into a capped call option transaction with an affiliate of the initial purchaser of the notes. The Company paid a total premium for the capped call option of US$18.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had US$123.0 million of the convertible notes due 2016 outstanding.
On April 23, 2012, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary incorporated in the PRC, issued unsecured one-year short-term bonds with a principal amount of RMB300 million. The bonds bear a fixed annual interest rate of 6.3% and will mature on April 23, 2013. On January 29, 2013, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. issued six-year bonds with a principal amount of RMB800 million, bearing a fixed annual interest rate of 8.99%. At the end of the third year in the life of the bonds, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. has the option to raise the interest rate by up to 100 basis points, and the bondholders will have the right to require Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. to repurchase all or part of their bonds upon Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.’s announcement of whether or not it decides to raise the interest rate, and by how much, at such time. On March 19, 2013, the Company entered into loan facilities for an aggregate principal amount of RMB360 million (approximately US$58.8 million) and a term of 15 years with China Development Bank.
On September 25, 2013, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 4,370,000 ADSs, receiving aggregate net proceeds of approximately US$67.3 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
The Company had negative working capital as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s management believes that its current cash position as of September 30, 2013, the cash expected to be generated from operations and funds available from borrowings under the bank quotas will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from September 30, 2013. However, in light of the amount of bank borrowings and bonds are due in the near term future and exercise of the put option of the convertible senior notes on May 14, 2014, sufficient funds may not be available. Accordingly, 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 its shareholders and debt financing, if available, may involve covenants that would restrict the Company. Additional funds may not be available on terms commercially acceptable to the Company or at all. Failure to manage discretionary spending and raise additional capital or debt financing as required may adversely impact the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

JINKOSOLAR HOLDING CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
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 Company’s major subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a. | Basis of presentation and use of estimates |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s 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 Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the Nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 September 30, 2013. Management believes that the Company’s current cash position as of September 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 Company’s operation needs for at least the next twelve months from September 30, 2013. However, given that certain bank borrowings and bonds are due within the near term future (Note 17), and the put option of the convertible senior notes on May 15, 2014 (Note 20), sufficient funds may not be available to the Company. Accordingly, 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 Company’s 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 20) and repay short term borrowings and other liabilities as those become due for at least the next twelve months from September 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.

b. | Consolidation |
The unaudited 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 People’s 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 China’s 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.
e. | Restricted cash |
Restricted cash represents deposits legally held by a bank which are not available for the Group’s 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. | Available-for-sale investment |
Investments in debt and equity securities are, on initial recognition, classified into the three categories: held-to-maturity securities, trading securities and available-for-sale securities. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale investment is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income included in shareholder’s equity. When there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, the cumulative losses from the declines in fair value that had been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income are removed from equity and recognized in the income statement. When the available-for-sale investment is sold, the cumulative fair value adjustments previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Group evaluates the investments periodically for possible other-than temporary impairment. When other-than-temporary impairment has occurred for an available-for-sale debt security and the Group intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. The new cost basis will not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. To determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, the Group reviews the cause and duration of the impairment, the extent to which fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Group’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of its cost.
On September 20, 2013, the parent company (“Issuer”) of one of the Company’s customers issued convertible bond (“Bond”) to the Company in order to settle the outstanding receivables owed by that customer of EUR 2,948,489. The Bond matures on December 31, 2015. Each Bond is convertible into one share at 1:1 ratio during September 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, or June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The Bond bears a simple interest of 5% per annum and payable every six months in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year from 2013 to 2015. The Issuer, at any time, may redeem all the Bonds outstanding by paying a sum of money, an amount equal to the greater of (1) the total nominal value of the Bond issue plus outstanding interest and (2) the counter- value. Upon maturity, the not converted Bond will be reimbursed at the nominal value together with the accrued and unpaid interests to each Bond.
The Company recorded such Bond as available-for-sale instruments as its intent is to convert the convertible bonds into common shares when the common stock price appreciates during the two convertible periods, and recorded the fair value change in the Bond in accumulated other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
h. | Accounts receivable |
Specific provisions are made against accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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.
i. | 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 management’s best estimate of the expected purchase in the next twelve-months as of the balance sheet date and the Group’s 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 RMB133,873,440 and nil was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
j. | 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 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 Group’s 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.
k. | 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:
F-11 |
JINKOSOLAR HOLDING CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
l. | 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. Project assets are amortized over the expected life of 20 years.
m. | Interest Capitalization |
The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the property, plant and equipment or project assets. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially complete or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. When no debt is specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Group capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project at the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowing money. Interest expense capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 7,208,522 and RMB 6,727,228.
n. | 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.
o. | 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.
p. | 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.

q. | 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.
r. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Group’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, project assets and other intangible assets with finite lives. The Group’s 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..
s. | 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.
t. | 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.

JINKOSOLAR HOLDING CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 September 30, 2013, the total amounts of retainage that were not recognized as revenue were RMB158,548,329.
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.
u. | Segment report |
During the third quarter of 2013, we changed our organizational structure as part of our transformation to a products manufacturing and solar projects developing company. As a result of these changes, information that the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, beginning in the third quarter of 2013, we are reporting our financial performance based on our new segments: manufacturing segment and solar projects segment.
The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management has determined that the Company operates our business in two segments, as that term is defined by FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment reporting.
Our first segment is the vertically integrated solar power products manufacturing business (“manufacturing segment”), from silicon ingots, wafer, cell to solar modules.
Our second segment is the downstream solar projects (“solar projects segment”), through which we develop, construct and operate the solar projects, including (i) project development, (ii) engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”), (iii) connecting solar projects to the grid, operating and maintenance (“O&M”).

JINKOSOLAR HOLDING CO., LTD.

v. | 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.
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 September 30, 2013 was RMB130,517,641 and RMB 175,800,203, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, warranty cost expenses were RMB30,892,883 and RMB46,536,617, respectively. The utilization of the warranty accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 were RMB6,400,635 and RMB1,254,055.
w. | 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, as there were no uncertain tax positions.
x. | 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.
F-15 |
JINKOSOLAR HOLDING CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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.
y. | 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.
z. | 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.

aa. | Share based compensation |
The Company’s 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.
ab. | Other comprehensive income/(loss) |
Other comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) for each period presented is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s 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.

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 RMB6.1200 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on September 30, 2013, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on September 30, 2013, or at any other rate.
ad. 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 Group’s 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 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 Group’s share of Gansu Jintai ’s results of operations is included in equity gain/(loss) in affiliated companies in the Group’s consolidated statements of operations.

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 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.

The Company began developing solar projects in 2011. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has completed 105MW worth of solar projects. Before July 1, 2013, the Company did not accrue the government subsidy for electricity revenues from solar projects due to the lack of detailed government guidelines and uncertainty over the timing of subsidy payment. During the third quarter of 2013, the Chinese government announced a series of policies aimed at streamlining and standardizing government subsidy payments for electricity revenues from solar projects in China as well as expanding the amount invested in renewable energy. In addition, the Company received the government subsidy payments for electricity revenues from solar projects for the year 2012 during the third quarter of 2013. As the result of the increased policy clarity and payment certainty, the Company has begun to accrue the government subsidy for electricity revenue from solar projects starting July 1, 2013.

The Group assesses credit worthiness of customers before granting any credit terms. This assessment is primarily based on reviewing of customer’s 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.
The significant bad debt reversal represents the cash collection of the fully provided long-term receivables. The Company made bad debt provisions for certain long-term receivables in prior years which were in line with the adverse economic environment in solar industry. With the recovery of solar industry in 2013, the Company made its best effort to improve the cash collection for the long-aged accounts receivables. The cash received was recorded as the reversal of prior year bad debt provision.

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.

Capped Call Options
Concurrent with the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 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 RMB56,592,820 as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013. An amount of loss of RMB5,746,927 and gain of RMB40,893,010 was recorded in change in fair value of capped call options for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.

23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Contingencies
In the opinion of management, as confirmed by its legal counsel, as of September 30, 2013, the ownership structure of the Group is in compliance with all existing PRC laws and regulations. It is also in the opinion of management that potential losses arising from the ownership structure based on current regulatory environment is remote. However, the Company cannot be assured that the PRC government authorities will not take a view contrary to the opinion of management. In addition, there may be changes and other developments in the PRC laws and regulations or their interpretations. If the current ownership structure of the Group was found to be not in compliance with any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the Group may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with current or new PRC laws and regulations.
On October 11, 2011, JinkoSolar, along with our directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering, or the Individual Defendents, and the underwriters of our initial public offering were named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Marco Peters v. JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., et al., Case No. 11-CV-7133 (S.D.N.Y.). In an amended complaint filed on September 1, 2012, the plaintiff, representing a class of all purchasers and acquirers of ADSs of JinkoSolar between May 13, 2010 and September 22, 2011, inclusive, alleged that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, by making material misstatements or failing to disclose material information regarding, among other things, JinkoSolar’s compliance with environmental regulations at its Haining facility. The amended complaint also asserted claims against the Individual Defendants for control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The amended complaint sought, among other things, certification of the putative class, unspecified compensatory damages (including interest), and costs and expenses incurred in the action.
On March 19, 2012, the court entered an order appointing lead plaintiffs in the U.S. Securities Action. On April 2, 2012, the trial court directed lead plaintiffs to file an amended complaint on or before May 30, 2012. On August 1, 2012, JinkoSolar filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, as did Stephen Markscheid, who was the only Individual Defendant to have been served in the action. On the same date, the underwriter defendants filed a joinder to JinkoSolar’s motion to dismiss. On January 22, 2013, the court issued a Memorandum and Order granting JinkoSolar’s and Stephen Markscheid’s motions to dismiss in their entirety and dismissing the Amended Complaint as against all defendants. The Court entered judgment in favor of defendants on the same date. On February 19, 2013, lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with respect to the court’s January 22, 2013 Memorandum and Order and Judgment. Oral argument on the appeal was heard on September 18, 2013. Although JinkoSolar was successful before the district court, we cannot guarantee that the decision will be upheld on appeal. Lead plaintiffs’ appeal is currently pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company is unable to reliably estimate the probability of the case and the range of any exposure if any.
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.

24. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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.
(a) Fair value change in forward contracts
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$330 million and EUR109 million as of September 30, 2013. These foreign exchange forward contracts mature between 1 to 15 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.
(b) Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Options
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 Company’s 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.
(c) Available-for-sale investment
On a recurring basis, the Company measures available-for-sale investment at fair value. Since the available-for-sale investment does not have quoted price in active markets, the Company has adopted Binomial Tree option pricing model to assess the fair value for Convertible Bond. Management is responsible for determining the fair value and assessing a number of factors. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgements as well as the Company's best estimates on the valuation date. The main inputs to this model include underlying share price of the Issuer, risk free rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield etc.
