2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The Company is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. The Company prepared these statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, the Company condensed or omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements should be read in combination with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and its subsequent amendments, if any, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
     In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires recognition of both the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features. The debt component is required to be recognized at the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity component. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the note and the fair value of the liability. FSP APB 14-1 also requires an accretion of the resulting debt discount over the expected life of the debt. This FSP was effective since January 1, 2009 and applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

F-6


 

3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES — continued
     The impact of adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement line items as of December 31, 2008 and for six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was illustrated in the following tables. Since the majority of the convertible notes were converted into common shares in June 2008, the accounting change did not have material impact on the financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. The statement improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.

F-7


 

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — continued
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 167 will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The ‘FASB Accounting Standards Codification’ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), which officially commenced July 1, 2009, to become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates that will be included in the Codification. Generally, the Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 168 on its financial statement disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
     On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 157 was limited to its financial assets and financial liabilities in 2008, as permitted by FSP 157-2. Starting from January 1, 2009, the Company had fully adopted SFAS 157. The Company does not have any non financial assets or non financial liabilities that it recognizes or discloses at fair value in its financial statements on a recurring basis. The implementation of the fair value measurement guidance of SFAS 157 did not result in any material changes to the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments on its opening balance sheet on January 1, 2008.
     SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:
    Level 1 — Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.
 
    Level 2 — Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.
 
    Level 3 — Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
     When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company measures fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
     The Company’s foreign currency derivative assets or liabilities relate to foreign exchange option or forward contracts involving major currencies such as Euro and USD. Since its derivative assets or liabilities are not traded on an exchange, the Company values them using valuation models. Interest rate yield curves and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into these valuation models. These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, it classifies these valuation techniques as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The Company considers the effect of its own credit standing and that of its counterparties in valuations of its derivative financial instruments.
     As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, the fair value measurement of the Company’s foreign currency derivative assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows:

     The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Long-term bank borrowings approximate their fair value since the contracts were entered into with floating market interest rates.
     The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 was $830 and $848, respectively, which approximated fair value. The Company did not compute the fair value of its $3 million investment as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 as it was impracticable to do so without incurring significant cost.
     The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency risk. The Company records derivative instruments as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The recognition of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair values of those derivative instruments is based on the use of each derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.
     The Company entered into certain foreign currency derivative contracts to protect against volatility of future cash flows caused by the changes in foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, the changes in fair value of the foreign currency derivative contracts are recognized in the statement of operations. The Company recorded gain on foreign currency derivative contracts as $nil and $10,316 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
     The effect of fair values of derivative instruments on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and the effect of derivative instruments on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 are as follows:

These short-term bank loans bore interest rates ranging from 1.11% to 5.35% per annum and were guaranteed by Canadian Solar Inc. and other subsidiaries within the Company.
     On June 25, 2009, CSI Solar Power Inc. entered into a loan agreement with a local Chinese commercial bank for the expansion of solar module production capacity. The total credit facility under this agreement was $14,630, which was fully utilized as of June 30, 2009, and requires repayment of $1,462 in 2010, $4,390 in 2011, $4,390 in 2012, $2,926 in 2013 and $1,462 in 2014. Interest is due quarterly in arrears. The borrowing was guaranteed by CSI Cells Co., Ltd. and bore a floating interest rate calculated as 95% of the interest rate published by People’s Bank of China for borrowings with the same maturities and does not contain any financial covenants or restrictions.

13. SHARE OPTIONS
     On May 30, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a share incentive plan to provide additional incentives to employees, directors or external consultants. The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards (including options) is 2,330,000 shares, plus for awards other than incentive option shares, an annual increase to be added on the first business day of each calendar year beginning in 2007 equal to the lesser of one percent (1%) of the number of common shares outstanding as of such date, or a lesser number of common shares determined by the Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board. The share incentive plan will expire on, and no awards may be granted after, March 15, 2016. Under the terms of the share incentive plan, options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares and expire ten years from the date of grant.
Options to Employees
     As of June 30, 2009, there was $7,077 in total unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.77 years. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, $2,121, and $2,953 was recognized as compensation expense, respectively. There is no income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for the share-based compensation arrangements in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, and 2009.
     For all stock options granted for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company used the Binomial option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option grant. The use of a valuation model requires the Company to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs.
     The following assumptions were used to estimate the stock options granted in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009:
                 
    Six-month Periods Ended June 30,  
    2009     2008

    839,467       11.19     7.7 years     4,233  
 
                             
     The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 was $22.64, and $4.61, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 was $12,243 and $358, respectively.
Options and Restricted shares to Non-employees
     On June 30, 2006, the Company granted 116,500 restricted shares to certain consultants for services to be rendered in the two-year period from the date of grant. These shares vested on the anniversary date of June 30, 2007 and 2008 on the straight-line basis. On April 13, 2007, the Company granted 11,650 share options to its external consultants in exchange for its consulting services. The options had an exercise price of $15 and vested immediately. The Company recorded compensation expenses of $1,521 and $nil during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 over the vesting period, with the final computation of fair value measured on the vesting date of these non-employee awards.
Restricted shares to Employees
     The Company granted 333,190 and 116,500, restricted shares to employees in May 2006 and July 2006, respectively. The restricted shares were granted at nominal value and generally vest over periods from one to four years based on the specific terms of the grants. The difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary share at the date of grant resulted in total compensation cost of approximately $7,108 that will be recognized ratably over the vesting period. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, $893 and $204 were amortized as compensation expenses, respectively.
     As of June 30, 2009, there was $443 of total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested restricted share awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.08 years.
     A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested restricted shares granted to both employee and non-employee is presented below:
                 
        Weighted Average

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the following events occurred:
  a)   On July 7, 2009, the Company registered a 100% owned subsidiary, CSI Solar Power (China) Inc. (“CSI China”), in Suzhou, China with an initial registered capital of $30,000. The Company plans to transfer all of its direct investments in its Chinese subsidiaries into CSI China so that it becomes the Company’s China investment holding and module sales company. It is currently in planning stage.
 
  b)   During the period from July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009, the Company executed several agreements with Chinese commercial banks for working capital loans totaling $183.9 million with maturities ranging from two months to one year and bearing interest from 1.06% to 5.31% per annum.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events, through October 13, 2009.
