Business Update

As previously announced, Hoku is pursuing restructuring alternatives for Hoku and its subsidiaries, which include seeking a strategic partner to co-invest in the completion of the polysilicon production plant of Hoku Materials, Inc. (“Hoku Materials”) and restructuring in bankruptcy. Hoku has engaged Imperial Capital to provide it with restructuring advice.

Due to Hoku’s inability to raise capital to fund construction of the polysilicon production facility, in December 2011 Hoku Materials, Hoku’s wholly-owned subsidiary, substantially reduced construction activities at its polysilicon production facility and by April 2012 all material construction activity at the polysilicon production facility had ceased. The polysilicon production facility is not ready for commercial operation. In May 2012, Hoku Materials terminated approximately 100 of its Pocatello plant employees and retained approximately 30 employees to preserve the polysilicon production facility and assist with the pursuit of restructuring alternatives.

In addition, in May 2012, Tianwei Solar USA, Inc., Hoku’s wholly owned subsidiary formed to market and sell modules of Tianwei New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Tianwei”), Hoku’s parent company, in North America, ceased business activities and terminated all staff.

Although the operations of Hoku Solar, Inc. (“Hoku Solar”), Hoku’s wholly owned subsidiary that markets and installs turnkey photovoltaic systems and provides related services in Hawaii, continue, Hoku has announced that it is exploring opportunities to sell Hoku Solar.

As previously announced, on June 12, 2012, Scott Paul resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of Hoku, effective June 30, 2012. Mr. Paul will continue to serve as a director of Hoku. On the same date, the board of directors of Hoku appointed “Jeremy” Xiaoming Yin, Ph.D., Hoku’s current President, as the acting Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation, effective July 1, 2012.

The Amended and Restated Supply Agreement dated as of February 26, 2009, as amended on November 25, 2009, December 18, 2010 and September 19, 2011 (the “Supply Agreement”) between Hoku Materials and Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (“Jinko”) required Hoku Materials to refund a portion of Jinko’s $20.0 million deposit on a monthly basis for the period from September 2011 to June 2012. Hoku Materials did not make all of these payments to Jinko. On June 13, 2012, Hoku Materials and Hoku received a notice (the “Notice”) from Jinko stating that Jinko exercised its right to terminate the Supply Agreement because Hoku Materials failed to make such payments. Hoku Materials currently holds a deposit from Jinko of $19.1 million. The Notice states that Jinko is entitled to receive an immediate payment of $28.7 million, or 150% of the amount of the outstanding deposit, plus accrued interest on the cash deposit, due to Jinko’s termination of the Supply Agreement.

In addition to the Supply Agreement, Hoku Materials is a party to polysilicon supply agreements with each of Hanwha SolarOne (“SolarOne”), Shanghai Alex New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Alex”), Wuxi Suntech Power Co. Ltd. (“Suntech”), Wealthy Rise International, Ltd. (“Wealthy Rise”) and Tianwei New Energy (Chengdu) Wafer Co., Ltd. (“Tianwei Chengdu”). Under the polysilicon supply agreement with Shanghai Alex, Hoku Materials has failed to make required deliveries of polysilicon by September 30, 2011 and consequently Shanghai Alex has the right to terminate its polysilicon supply agreement and require Hoku Materials to repay $30 million, which is 150% of the deposit Shanghai Alex made under its polysilicon supply agreement. Because Hoku Materials did not make the required delivery by May 31, 2012, commencing on September 30, 2012, Wealthy Rise will have the right to terminate its polysilicon supply agreement and require Hoku Materials to repay $20.2 million, the deposit Wealthy Rise made under its polysilicon supply agreement. Under the polysilicon supply agreement with SolarOne, Hoku Materials has failed to make required deliveries of polysilicon and as a result SolarOne has the right to terminate its polysilicon supply agreement and require Hoku Materials to repay its deposit of $49 million. Under the polysilicon supply agreement with Suntech, Hoku Material is required to commence shipment of polysilicon no later than October 31, 2012. Hoku Materials does not expect that it will be able to make such shipment, and such failure will provide Suntech with the right to terminate its polysilicon supply agreement and require Hoku Materials to repay its deposit of $2.0 million. Hoku Materials also has a polysilicon supply agreement with Tianwei Chengdu, under which the earliest date for delivery of polysilicon has been extended to end of 2012. Hoku Materials currently holds a $29.0 million deposit from Tianwei Chengdu.

Due to the extended delinquency of Hoku and Hoku Materials with respect to the accounts payable of its contractors for the construction of the polysilicon production plant, in March and April 2012 four contractors, including JH Kelly, LLC, commenced mechanic’s lien foreclosure actions in Bannock County, Idaho. In addition, during 2012, four suppliers and service providers have filed lawsuits and served Hoku Materials as a result of Hoku Materials failure to make payments under their respective agreements. While Hoku intends to defend itself, there can be no assurance that Hoku will be successful and such failure may result in the foreclosure or sales of its assets.

In January 2012, Hoku received a written notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that, for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for its common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter states that Hoku will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until July 10, 2012, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, shares of its common stock must maintain a minimum bid closing price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. Hoku has not and is unable to regain compliance with minimum bid price requirements before the July 10, 2012 deadline. Furthermore, the notification letter also states that Hoku may obtain an additional 180-day to regain compliance by transferring the listing of its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market, if Hoku meets certain initial listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market. However, Hoku does not intend to seek to transfer the listing of its shares of common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. Consequently, Hoku expects that its shares of common stock will be de-listed from The NASDAQ Global Market on or about July 10, 2012. Hoku believes that liquidity in the trading of its common stock will be reduced as a result of such de-listing.

As of May 31, 2012, Hoku had cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million, other current assets of $7.6 million and current liabilities of $286.7 million (including $76.2 million of accounts payable at Hoku Materials). As of March 31, 2012, Hoku had cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million, other current assets of $6.7 million and current liabilities of $278.8 million (including $74.4 million of accounts payable at Hoku Materials).

In preparing the balance sheet above, due to its lack of resources Hoku has not assessed its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment. Notwithstanding that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment reflected in the balance sheet above does not reflect any impairment resulting from events and developments since Hoku filed its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, Hoku’s management believes if an impairment analysis of the property, plant and equipment was performed, it would result in a substantial impairment in the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment.

The unaudited financial statements presented in this Form 8-K have been compiled by Hoku for the sole purpose of providing certain limited balance sheet information regarding Hoku as of the dates stated above. Such financial statements have not been reviewed or audited, nor any opinion with respect to their quality has been rendered, by any independent public registered accounting firm. You are advised not to place undue reliance on such information in the investment of Hoku’s securities.

Without additional funding, Hoku believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its operations for up to 9 weeks. Unexpected expenditures and other developments could significantly decrease the time period for which Hoku is able to continue to fund its operations. If Hoku is unable to secure additional financing, it believes it will need to seek protection in bankruptcy from its creditors and to liquidate and wind-down Hoku and Hoku Materials.
