Calgary, Alberta CANADA, October 09, 2012 /FSC/ - QSolar Limited (QSL - CNSX)(the "Corporation"), is pleased to announce that further to the September 4, 2012 press release announcing the Corporation had been granted a 30 year business licence establishing a wholly-owned manufacturing enterprise in Caohejing Development Zone, Shanghai, China known as QSolar (Shanghai) Photovoltaic Technology Co. Ltd. ("QSolar Shanghai"), (Chinese name is Xu Hui (Shanghai) PV Technology Co. Ltd.), it has now been advised that QSolar Shanghai's initial registered capital of USD $200,000 has been verified by Chinese authorities in accordance with the Laws of the Peoples Republic of China Foreign Enterprises and other relevant regulations, through the Bank of China. As such, the initial capital is now available for
general corporate purposes in China. In addition, as a result of the verification of initial registered capital, QSolar Shanghai applied and has now been granted an import export licence from Chinese Customs authorities. The import export licence will expire August 16, 2015, subject to renewal by QSolar Shanghai.
QSolar Shanghai is structured as a wholly-owned limited liability subsidiary of QSolar Ltd., which is, in turn, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The new entity's broad business scope will allow it to engage in producing, manufacturing and assembling solar panels or photovoltaic modules and accessories and the sale and exporting of those self-manufactured products. The total registered capital of QSolar Shanghai has been established at USD $1,000,000 with 20% of the registered capital now contributed with the remaining portion to be contributed in full within two years of the business licence having been issued to QSolar Shanghai. It is management's intention to reflect the legal structure in the third quarter with the vend-in of QSolar Ltd. Chinese division assets and liabilities effective July 1, 2012.
Among the most immediate benefits to QSolar Shanghai and the Corporation from the application and receipt of its own import export licence is the anticipated result of significantly lower transportation fees and costs and the anticipated increased contribution to profit margin from direct savings on shipping. Shipping of finished product will now occur directly from Shanghai, China rather than from Shenzen, China, where finished product was being shipped approximately 1,000 km from QSolar Shanghai's factory.
The Corporation trades under the symbol QSL on the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX").
