or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010
and with a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted
share, for the prior quarter.

compared with $1.4 million at December 31, 2010 and with $5.8 million at
September 30, 2011.

“We’re pleased with our record fourth quarter and year 2011 financial
results, which marked a year in which we completed SPI’s repositioning
as a SEF developer,” said Stephen Kircher, CEO of SPI. “This enables SPI
to pursue newer, more profitable projects, accelerating our access to
market growth opportunities, and favorably impacting our outlook for
total net sales for 2012.”

Recent Highlights:

  • Successfully shipped and recorded in fourth-quarter 2011 total net
    sales is a previously announced $42 million order from KDC Solar LLC
    for deployment of SEF projects in New Jersey
  • Announced a second large-scale project in Evros, Greece to develop a 2
    megawatt fixed-ground-mount SEF
  • Selected to install a second solar system for Twentieth Century Fox
    Film Corporation comprising an additional 230 kilowatts for a rooftop
    PV solar system
  • Awarded engineering, construction and procurement contract to build
    11.3 megawatt utility-scale project for the state of New Jersey
  • Secured $64 million in project financing, including $44 million from
    China Development Bank to fund SEFs in New Jersey and $20 million from
    LDK Solar, our parent company, for two projects in California

The company has filed a Form 8-K to report that it will file an amended
Form 10-K/A for the year 2010 and amended quarterly reports on Form
10-Q/A for the first three quarters of 2011 to restate prior year
financial statements due to a correction in accounting treatment for a
single SEF project (Aerojet 1) initiated in 2009.

The potential impact of the restatement on the 2011 financial statements
increases revenue by $1.8 million with a net loss of $35,000 and has no
impact on 2011 earnings per share or cash. The restatement also
increases total assets by $13.9 million and total liabilities of $14.6
million, with the difference being depreciation and interest expense.

2012 Business Outlook:

As noted in the Company’s news release issued February 22, 2012, SPI
continues to expect that 2012 net sales will approximately double its
2011 levels.
