As the thin-film silicon (and As the thin-film silicon (and crystalline silicon) manufacturing industry crystalline silicon) manufacturing embarks on the second phase of its investment cycle, market industry embarks on the second opportunities are plentiful for thin-film equipment suppliers. phase of its investment cycle, Led by a group of industry-leading engineers with strong experience in market opportunities are plentiful thin-film, vacuum processing and precision manufacturing, Apollo’s key for thin-film equipment suppliers differentiators are: The lowest cost of module manufacturing with largest throughput, achieved by using a single chamber production process and multiple pieces of glass. Advanced amorphous silicon and silicon germanium (a-Si/SiGe) technology. The solar business has the following product portfolio: Proprietary plasma enhanced chemical vapour depositor (PECVD) for deposition of photovoltaic layers. Proprietary magnetron sputtering devices for the deposition of conductive electrode layers. Automated turnkey solution with a complete and fully-integrated manufacturing system for thin-film photovoltaic module Figure 1: Integrated Turnkey Solutions with Flexible Module Design Source: Apollo Solar Energy Technology Apollo’s turnkey manufacturing Apollo’s turnkey manufacturing equipment provides superior yield, equipment provides superior combined with the lowest cost of production per watt for thin-film silicon yield, combined with the lowest modules. cost of production per watt for Apollo’s integrated manufacturing lines using proprietary PECVD and PVD thin-film silicon modules technologies position it favourably for the second phase of the thin-film equipment investment cycle, especially as demand focuses on suppliers of key vacuum deposition tooling, such as Apollo. The dominant market for Apollo will be in China, the manufacturing hub of the world. This is shown by Apollo’s ‘mega HK$19.84bn contract’ with China’s largest private renewable energy generator, Hanergy Energy. 3 Apollo Solar Energy Tech – 19 November 2010 Valuation Apollo’s short-to-medium-term growth is underpinned by the HK$19.84bn contract with Hanergy. This provides a sustained growth profile for three years, and implies a step-change in the financial profile of the company. We estimate revenues will increase from HK$717m in 2009 to HK$4.6bn in Figure 2: Revenue Growth 2010 and HK$8.9bn in 2011. Given the company’s relatively strong profit HK$ margins (average of 51%), we expect this to have a dramatic impact on 14,000,000 the valuation of the company. 12,000,000 The contract announcement was made during the summer of 2010, 10,000,000 causing the stock price to jump to HK$0.91. However, since then, the 8,000,000 price has trended down back to HK$0.67. We believe there are two 6,000,000 significant reasons for this: 4,000,000 Some investors could be fearful of the potential dilution that is likely 2,000,000 to occur when Hanergy subscribes to the shares and when existing option holders execute their holdings. The total number of shares ‐‐ outstanding is likely to increase from 4.9bn shares to 21.8bn shares 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 fully diluted. Source: Ambrian estimates Given the size of the Hanergy contract, we believe some investors are sceptical that it will be completed, especially due to the fact that Hanergy’s financial position is not disclosed in any public forum. While we sympathise with the latter point, we highlight Hanergy’s credibility as a renewable energy generator in this report given its relatively large portfolio of operating and pipeline assets. Hanergy has 2.4GW of operating hydro assets and annual free cashflow of approximately £250m. Dilution is an obvious concern; however, we believe the potential upside from the growth profile of Apollo will outweigh any dilution impact for investors today. We forecast Apollo will generate HK$2.5bn and HK$4.8bn PAT in FY10 and FY11 respectively. This places the company on P/E multiples of 5x and 3x in for FY10 and FY11 on a fully-diluted basis. In Figure 3 we highlight how an investment today is affected by dilution over the next five years, relative to the increase in shareholder value for the company. We forecast Apollo will generate The blue line highlights what the dilution impact would be if an investor HK$2.5bn and HK$4.8bn PAT in buys 1bn shares in the company today. This will equate to 15% by the end FY10 and FY11 respectively. This of 2010 due to the first tranche of subscription shares issued to Hanergy. places the company on P/E We forecast this will drop to 5% by the end of 2013, which is when the multiples of 5x and 3x in for FY10 convertible bonds mature and are executed. and FY11 on a fully-diluted basis The green bar highlights the proportion of the Net Asset Value of the company this shareholder will own.

With this cooperation, the partners aim to generate solar energy to increase the range of electric vehicles. The first prototype is to be built by the end of 2017. As the first step, Audi and Hanergy want to integrate Alta Devices’ thin-film solar cells into a panoramic glass roof. In the future, almost the entire roof surface is to be covered with solar cells. The electricity they generate will flow into the car’s electrical system and can supply for example the air-conditioning system or the seat heaters – a gain in efficiency that has a direct positive impact on the range of an electric vehicle. “The range of electric cars plays a decisive role for our customers. Together with Hanergy, we plan to install innovative solar technology in our electric cars that will extend their range and is also sustainable,” stated Audi Board of Management Member for Procurement Dr.
