In addition to our well established network in China, these two financing arrangements obtained through our overseas subsidiaries not only mark a new milestone for our company in terms of leveraging our global network to establish new financing platforms, but also reflect the growing confidence that premier global banks have in our business operations. We will continue to diversify our sources of funding to ensure that we have adequate funding at low cost to take advantage of the favourable market conditions in the solar energy sector. We are confident that these two credit facilities plus others will facilitate the execution of our growth strategies.”
