Why Does China’s Solar Giant Suntech Near Bankruptcy In Just One Year?


By Bill Savadove, AFP News,
China’s Suntech has made a painful journey from being the world’s largest solar panel producer to flirting with bankruptcy in just a year, highlighting the woes of the industry it shaped.
Oversupply as Chinese producers flooded the market and trade disputes over alleged Chinese dumping caused a sudden and spectacular reversal of fortunes for Suntech, which has defaulted on repayments for a $541 million bond issue.
The board ousted the company’s renowned founder just days ago after 12 years in which he led it from nothing to world market domination and now to the edge of ruin, leaving it scrambling to secure new funding and hold creditors at bay.
The global solar industry has been burned by the economic slowdown in Europe and the United States, together with weak prices blamed on Chinese companies which sought to build market share by under-cutting competitors.
The European Union and United States last year targeted Suntech and other Chinese solar panel and cell makers, accusing them of selling their products at below cost and receiving “unfair” government subsidies.
Suntech, a private company, denied the allegations but made no secret of its aim to keep prices at rock bottom, which it said made solar energy available to more people. Analysts said Suntech’s business model, deliberately pushing down prices to capture larger market share despite narrower profit margins, contained the seeds of its own destruction.
“What (Suntech) has done is increase supply to the market so much, that they really almost can’t sell anything at a profit now,” said Ben Cavender, associate principal of China Market Research Group (CMR) in Shanghai.
Suntech recorded a net loss of $1.0 billion in 2011, from a profit of $237 million in 2010, according to company filings. The firm has yet to report financial results for 2012.
Once an investors’ darling, its New York-listed shares have plunged from a high of $90.00 in early 2008. They closed down 7.81 percent at $0.59 in New York on Tuesday. “It is going to be difficult for them going forward,” Cavender added. “You might end up seeing a very different company down the road.”
Suntech said earlier this month it would shut a manufacturing plant in the United States in a bid to “rationalise” production capacity.
China’s National Business Daily on Tuesday quoted an official in the eastern city of Wuxi, where the firm is headquartered and employs 14,000 people, as saying it would undergo restructuring under bankruptcy proceedings.
Analysts said Suntech faced a problem common to Chinese private firms, growing rapidly in the country’s economic boom but becoming unwieldy and unmanageable as it turned into a vast corporation.
“Suntech, as a private firm, went too fast in its expansion,” said Liu Wenping, a partner in Shanghai-based solar investment consulting firm Sapphire Capital.
“The founder, with the role of scientist-entrepreneur, didn’t have the experience to manage such a big company with tens of thousands of workers.”
Suntech’s founder Shi Zhengrong — listed as one of China’s richest people by the independent Hurun Report last year, worth $476 million — was ousted as chairman earlier this month. He called the move “misconceived and unlawful” in a statement, vowing further action.
While more than 60 percent of Suntech’s bondholders have given the company a two-month extension for payment, some are planning to sue to recoup their investment, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The default could cause foreign investors to sour further on China, after a string of accounting scandals involving Chinese firms listed in the United States and other overseas markets, analysts said.
US equipment giant Caterpillar recently revealed that it had found fake accounts at a Chinese firm it acquired for more than $650 million last year, in another cautionary tale for foreign investors in the hugely promising market.
“Looking at a Chinese company as a potential investment, you really have to be a little more cautious and decide whether the investment look

California – First Ticket, If I Just Pay The Fine Do I Still Get Points?


http://affiliates.trafficschooltogo.com/…
I’m checking this site and it says:
6) How do I know if I can take Traffic School?
The court should be able to tell you whether or not traffic school is an option and what schools are approved.
You should not get any points on your record if:
this is your first ticket
the court allows you to go to traffic school
Does this mean I will get no points on my record or do I have to take traffic school? I also checked the DMV site and it said the same thing about first ticket.

Ahhh – Why Can’t I Just Get It Right?


I started a new job about 8 mths ago. Educational/school counsellor. At first it was hard, but then I found my niche and the bosses went out of their way to say how much they liked my work. (they had an alterior motive, too I think since the previous person in my job went on stress leave because of them, and the wanted to prove they could look after me). But nevertheless things were good.After coming back from summer hols, I’m not sure but things are not so good. In particular something has come from left field. A student has had some major incidents (they are fine now though) and I have not been working on the case – information was not passed on to me very well and I didn’t pick up the gravity of the situation. After the handover I wasnt’ involved in the case, my slip up mostly. Information about the case was passed to my supervisor from the outside agency that dealt with the student, and she came to help us deal with it. Embarrassingly, she told me in front of my on-site bosses what I had to do and taht it was really important. I feel so caught out. I even said to my bosses that I didn’t know much about the case – I feel so embarrassed as it would have seemed like i was ducking for cover. My supervisor is showing she doesn’t trust my work by questioning me on other cases too. The bosses questioned me at a meeting too. I had answers but them questioning me is a big deal. It’s as good as a reprimand. I feel so shown up – like my facade is falling down – my reputation changing to that of unreliability.
I feel like I’ve lost my reputation 🙁 So hard to stop ruminating over this and get back on the front foot 🙁
I work in a very high stress job with fairly decent pay – has anyone else been through this? Tips on digging back in despite worries and doubts?
