The company’s net assets as of 31 May 2013 were appraised at RMB326 million (US$53.2 million).

LDK’s Hefei solar cell manufacturing facility had a capacity of 2.2GW when it started production in 2011. The company took an estimated loss of US$80 million when it sold the plant as part of the LDK Hefei sale to the local government affiliate.
