Business

. Clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization

of novel small molecule, orally-administered drugs, known as pharmacological chaperones, for the

treatment of a range of human genetic diseases.

. Certain human diseases result from mutations in specific genes that, in many cases, lead to the production

of proteins with reduced stability.

Misfolded proteins

Proteins with such mutations may not fold into their correct three-dimensional shape and are generally

referred to as misfolded proteins.

. Misfolded proteins are often recognized by cells as having defects and, as a result, may be eliminated

prior to reaching their intended location in the cell.

. The reduced biological activity of these proteins leads to impaired cellular function and ultimately to

disease.

The FOLD approach

. To the treatment of human genetic diseases consists of using pharmacological chaperones that selectively

bind to the target protein, increasing the stability of the protein and helping it fold into the correct three

dimensional shape.

. This allows proper trafficking of the protein, thereby increasing protein activity, improving cellular

function and potentially reducing cell stress.

. Currently conducting Phase II clinical trials of Amigal for Fabry disease, Phase II clinical trials of Plicera

for Gaucher disease, and Phase I clinical trials of AT2220 for Pompe disease.

Competition

FOLD is not aware that any currently working to develop products that would directly compete with

FOLD's product pipeline.

. Major competitors include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the United States and abroad

that have approved therapies or therapies in development for lysosomal storage disorders within FOLD's

core programs.

. Other competitors are pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that have approved therapies or

therapies in development for genetic diseases for which pharmacological chaperone technology may be

applicable.

. Additionally, FOLD ise aware of several early-stage, niche pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies

whose core business revolves around protein misfolding

. Specific competitors include Genzyme Corporation, Shire PLC, Actelion, Ltd.

Use of $68mm in IPO proceeds

o $20.0 million for clinical development of Amigal for the treatment of Fabry disease;

o $20.0 million for clinical development of Plicera for the treatment of Gaucher disease;

o $20.0 million for clinical development of AT2220 for the treatment of Pompe disease;

o $5.0 million for research and development activities relating to additional preclinical programs

o the balance, if any, to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes,

Summary -- $115mm of $158mm in proceeds

(most of remainder of IPO proceeds for R&D)

Luvox CR -- $90mm of IPO proceeds allocated to Luvox CR

> Acquired Luvox CR in January 2007 only in the U.S.

. Obtained the exclusive rights to market and distribute Luvox CR in the United States from Solvay

Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Solvay, in January 2007.

. Solvay retains the rights to market and distribute Luvox CR outside of the United States. Solvay submitted

a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA for Luvox CR in April 2006, and, in February 2007, the FDA

issued an approvable letter.

> JAZZ will need to demonstrate that the benefits of Luvox CR to patients justify the higher price of a

> o Luvox CR (fluvoxamine maleate extended release capsules) is Luvox CR, an extended release

formulation of fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which has been developed for the

treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder.

Phase III clinical trials -- $25mm of IPO proceeds

. JAZZ's only product candidate currently in Phase III clinical trials is JZP-6 for the treatment of

fibromyalgia syndrome.

. ThePhase III clinical program for JZP-6 is costly, and JAZZ does not expect to complete the program

until early 2009.

Intellectual property - doesn't seem strong

Has filed multiple U.S. patent applications and foreign counterparts

Patent Risk:

. The pharmaceutical and life sciences industry has produced a proliferation of patents, and it is not always

clear to industry participants, including JAZZ, which patents cover various types of products or methods.

. The coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always

uniform

The existence of a patent will not necessarily prevent other companies from developing similar or

therapeutically equivalent products or protect us from claims of third parties that our products infringe their

issued patents, which may require licensing and the payment of significant fees or royalties.

Competitors may successfully challenge our patents, produce similar products that do not infringe our

patents, or manufacture products in countries where we have not applied for patent protection or that do not

respect our patents."

Formulations applied to known drug compounds

. Applies novel formulations and drug delivery technologies to known drug compounds, and compounds

with the same mechanism of action or similar chemical structure as marketed products, to improve patient

care by, among other things, improving efficacy, reducing adverse side effects or increasing patient

compliance relative to existing therapies.

. By working with these drug compounds, JAZZ believes that it can substantially mitigate the risks and

reduce the costs and time associated with product development and commercialization of

new therapies with significant market opportunities.

Portfolio progress

. Since inception in 2003, has built a commercial operation and assembled a portfolio of products and

product candidates that currently includes

. Two marketed products that generated net product sales of $41.9 million in 2006,

. One product candidate for which an approvable letter has been issued by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration, or FDA, and

. Five product candidates in various stages of clinical development.

. Also has additional product candidates in earlier stages of development.

. In March 2007, sold rights to a third marketed product that generated net product sales of $1.4 million

in 2006 for cash consideration of $9.0 million.

JAZZ's marketed products in 2006 were:

o Xyrem (sodium oxybate) oral solution. Xyrem is the only product approved by the FDA for the

treatment of both cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy. Net product sales

of Xyrem were $29.0 million in 2006 and $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. We promote Xyrem in

the United States to neurologists, psychiatrists, pulmonologists and sleep specialists through our 55 person

specialty sales force. Xyrem is distributed in the United States by Express Scripts Specialty Distribution

Services, or Express Scripts, a specialty pharmaceutical distribution company, which is our only customer

for Xyrem. We have licensed the rights to commercialize Xyrem in 54 countries outside of the United

States to UCB Pharma Limited, or UCB, and in Canada to Valeant Canada Limited, or Valeant. In October

2005, the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products approved Xyrem for the treatment of

cataplexy associated with narcolepsy and in March 2007, the European Agency for the Evaluation of

Medical Products approved the product for the treatment of narcolepsy with cataplexy in adult patients.

UCB has commercially launched Xyrem in 12 countries.

o Antizol (fomepizole). Antizol is the only FDA-approved antidote for suspected or confirmed ethylene

glycol or methanol poisonings in humans. We market Antizol primarily to hospitals and emergency rooms.

Net product sales of Antizol were $12.5 million in 2006 and $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2007.

Antizol is distributed to wholesalers in the United States, and we retain the services of a third party to

promote the product. Antizol is marketed by our distributors in Canada and Israel. We also market Antizol

Vet, an injectable formulation of fomepizole approved as an antidote for suspected or confirmed ethylene

glycol poisoning in dogs. Net product sales of Antizol-Vet in 2006 were $313,000.

o Cystadane (betaine anhydrous). Cystadane is approved by the FDA for the treatment of homocystinuria,

an inherited metabolic disease. Net product sales of Cystadane in 2006 were $1.4 million. In March 2007,

sold our rights to Cystadane to an unrelated third party for cash consideration of $9.0 million.

Late-stage product candidates

o Luvox CR (fluvoxamine maleate extended release capsules).

. Most advanced product candidate is Luvox CR, an extended release formulation of fluvoxamine, a

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which has been developed for the treatment of obsessive compulsive

disorder and social anxiety disorder.

. Obtained the exclusive rights to market and distribute Luvox CR in the United States from Solvay

Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Solvay, in January 2007.

. Solvay retains the rights to market and distribute Luvox CR outside of the United States. Solvay submitted

a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA for Luvox CR in April 2006, and, in February 2007, the FDA

issued an approvable letter.

. Under the agreement with Solvay, Solvay has primary responsibility for the NDA for Luvox CR and

communications with the FDA until after such time, if ever, as the FDA approves the NDA for Luvox CR

. Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in an approvable letter issued by the FDA to

Solvay and FDA approval, JAZZ expects to commence promotion of Luvox CR in the United States in the

first quarter of 2008 through an expanded specialty sales force.

. During 2007, expects to make significant expenditures relating to the planned launch and

commercialization of Luvox CR, including milestone payments to Solvay, activities related to preparation

for marketing and promotion, expansion of the specialty sales force and production of commercial

quantities of Luvox CR.

o JZP-6 (sodium oxybate).

. Developing a liquid dosage form of sodium oxybate, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Xyrem, for

the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome.

. Has successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial of this product candidate for the treatment of

fibromyalgia syndrome.

. Currently conducting two pivotal Phase III clinical trials, and expects preliminary data from the first

Phase III pivotal clinical trial in the second half of 2008.

. Has granted to UCB the commercialization rights to JZP-6 in 54 countries outside of the United States.

Clinical development pipeline

In addition to product candidates in late-stage development, JAZZ's clinical development pipeline consists

of the following product candidates:

o JZP-4 (Type IIa sodium channel antagonist).

. Subject to the results of a proof of concept clinical trial, formulation studies and long-term toxicology

studies, plans to commence a Phase II clinical trial of JZP-4 for the treatment of epilepsy in the fourth

quarter of 2007.

. Also developing JZP-4 for the treatment of bipolar disorder.

o JZP-8 (benzodiazepine)

Plans to commence a Phase II clinical trial of JZP-8 for the treatment of acute repetitive seizure clusters in

refractory epilepsy patients in the fourth quarter of 2007.

o JZP-7 (dopamine agonist)

Intends to conduct an additional pharmacokinetic study of JZP-7 in 2007 prior to commencing Phase II

clinical trials for the treatment of restless legs syndrome.

o JZP-2 (benzodiazepine)

Has developed a target formulation for JZP-2 and plan to commence one or more clinical trials of JZP-2 for

the acute treatment of panic attacks associated with panic disorder in 2007.

Funding by category

o Equity Financings. Preferred stock financings raised gross proceeds of $265.0 million.

o Debt Financings. In connection with the acquisition of Orphan Medical, issued $80.0 million aggregate

principal amount of senior secured notes and warrants to purchase 785,728 shares of Series BB convertible

preferred stock. Additionally, in September 2006, entered into a one year line of credit agreement with a

financial institution under which JAZZ may borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, up to a

maximum borrowing limit of $5.0 million.

o Development Financing. In August 2005, entered into an agreement with a third party under which the

third party agreed to provide $30.0 million to fund a Phase III clinical trial of JZP-3, a product candidate

then in development for the treatment of general anxiety disorder. Under that agreement, received $15.0

million in 2005 and $15.0 million in 2006. In June 2006, following analysis of the results of the Phase III

clinical trial, notified the third party of our intention to discontinue development of the product candidate

and not to seek product marketing approval from the FDA. As a result of our notification, is not obligated

to make any payments to the third party that otherwise would have been made upon regulatory approval,

launch and commercialization of JZP-3.

o Collaboration. Under the terms of an agreement with UCB for Xyrem and JZP-6, received an upfront

payment of $5.0 million and a $10.0 million payment upon election by UCB to exercise its rights to

develop and commercialize JZP-6 for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. Also entitled to additional

development and commercialization milestone payments of up to $146.0 million and royalties on all

commercial sales of Xyrem and JZP-6 by UCB.

Financing history, chronology

. In March 2003, incorporated in the State of California and began operations.

. In April 2003, we entered into agreements with investors for a $15.0 million Series A preferred stock

financing, the funds from which were received in 2003 and early 2004.

. In January 2004, we reincorporated in the State of Delaware. In February 2004, entered into agreements

with investors for a $250.0 million Series B preferred stock and Series B Prime preferred stock financing

led by an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., the funds from which were received in 2004, 2005

and 2006.

. On June 24, 2005, acquired Orphan Medical, Inc., including its three marketed products, Xyrem, Antizol

and Cystadane, in order to complement the development portfolio with marketed products and to build

JAZZ's commercial organization.

Competition

Xyrem

. As an alternative to Xyrem, cataplexy is often treated with tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin

reuptake inhibitors, although none of these compounds has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of

cataplexy. Tricyclic antidepressants are a class of antidepressant drugs first used in the 1950s.

. The use of these drugs can often result in somnolence, which exacerbates excessive daytime sleepiness

already experienced by all patients with narcolepsy.

. Other treatments for excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy consist primarily of

stimulants and wakefulness promoting agents, including Provigil (modafinil). Xyrem and Provigil are both

approved for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy, but Xyrem is also

approved for the treatment of cataplexy, the most well-recognized symptom of narcolepsy.

. Provigil is also approved for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive

sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and shift work sleep disorder, which may help make it more well-known

to physicians and patients.

Obsessive compulsive disorder

. Although not FDA-approved for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder, based on data from the

2006 Physicians Drug and Diagnosis Audit, JAZZ estimates that more than 15 additional products and their

generic equivalents accounted for over 47% of total drug usage for the treatment of obsessive compulsive

disorder in 2006

. Given the prevalence of generic products, in order to gain significant market acceptance, JAZZ will need

to demonstrate that the benefits of Luvox CR to patients justify the higher price of a branded product.

> Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac & Anafranil

. Based on data from the 2006 Physicians Drug and Diagnosis Audit, JAZZ estimates that Paxil, Zoloft,

Prozac and Anafranil (and each of their generic equivalents) and fluvoxamine accounted for 48% of the

total drug usage for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder in 2006.

. Four branded products are currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of obsessive compulsive

disorder, including three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: Paxil (paroxetine HCl), which is marketed

by GlaxoSmithKline, Zoloft (sertraline HCl), which is marketed by Pfizer, and Prozac (fluoxetine

hydrochloride), which is marketed by Eli Lilly. Anafranil (clomipramine hydrochloride), the other branded

product approved by the FDA for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder, is a tricyclic

antidepressant marketed by Mallinckrodt in the United States.

. The relative use of each of these products for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder has varied

over the past ten years, and each currently has generic equivalents.

. Generic products are generally sold at significantly lower prices than branded products, tending to both

take market share away from branded products and put downward pricing pressure on branded products.

Fluvoxamine, the generic equivalent of Luvox and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is the only other

drug currently approved for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder.

> Fluvoxamine

Based on data from the 2006 Physicians Drug and Diagnosis Audit, JAZZ estimates that fluvoxamine use

represented 11% of total drug usage for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder in 2006.

. Prior to the introduction of generic fluvoxamine in 2000, Luvox was considered one of the preferred

treatments of obsessive compulsive disorder.

. Based on data from the 2005 Physicians Drug and Diagnosis Audit, JAZZ estimates that Luvox accounted

for 21% of total drug usage for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder in 1999.

Social anxiety disorder

Based on limited data from the 2005 Physicians Drug and Diagnosis Audit, JAZZ estimates that Paxil CR

use represented 5%, and Effexor XR use represented 9%, of total drug usage for the treatment of social

anxiety disorder in 2006

. Four products are currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of social anxiety disorder, including

three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: Zoloft, Paxil and Paxil CR, an extended release version of

Paxil, and one serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, Effexor XR (venlafaxine HCl). Paxil CR and

Effexor XR, developed and sold by GlaxoSmithKline and Wyeth, respectively, do not have generic

equivalents, whereas Paxil and Zoloft have generic equivalents.

. Paxil CR was approved for the treatment of social anxiety disorder in 2003

. Effexor XR was approved for the treatment of social anxiety disorder in 2003.

As with obsessive compulsive disorder, in order to gain significant market acceptance, JAZZ will need to

demonstrate that the benefits of Luvox CR to patients justify the higher price of a branded product.

> Zoloft, Paxil, Paxil CR, Effexor XR

. The presence in a particular patient of more than one psychiatric condition is an important consideration

by physicians in the selection of drugs to treat social anxiety disorder.

. For patients with multiple conditions, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or a serotonin

norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with demonstrated efficacy in multiple indications is generally the

preferred treatment option. Zoloft, Paxil, Paxil CR and Effexor XR are approved for additional psychiatric

disorders, such as depression, in addition to social anxiety disorder, which may give them broader

recognition by physicians and patients.

. These products therefore may be more likely to be prescribed than Luvox CR which, if approved, would

at most be indicated for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder.

Fibromyalgia

Based on available market data, JAZZ estimates that more than 6.3 million total prescriptions were written

to treat fibromyalgia syndrome symptoms in 2006, of which 32% were for antidepressants, 25% were for

opioids and 30% were for muscle relaxants

. There are currently no products approved by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. In

clinical practice, a variety of drugs are often prescribed to address individual symptoms of fibromyalgia

syndrome, including antidepressants, pain medications, muscle relaxants, hypnotics and anticonvulsants.

. In addition to JZP-6 (from JAZZ), there are currently four programs that have completed or are in Phase

III clinical development for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. These include Lyrica (pregabalin), an

anticonvulsant being developed by Pfizer, which has previously been approved by the FDA for the

treatment of partial seizures, post herpetic neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

. In December 2006, Pfizer submitted a supplemental NDA seeking FDA approval of Lyrica for the

treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome, or certain symptoms associated with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Epilepsy

Seizures in epileptic patients are typically controlled by treatment with one or more antiepileptic drugs.

. In 2006, there were 6.2 million prescriptions written for Lamictal.

. While up to 70% of epilepsy patients respond to therapy and become seizure-free with chronic treatment

with antiepileptic drugs, the remaining patients fail treatment either because the drugs do not stop their

seizures or because they cannot tolerate the side effects.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is typically managed with drugs from a variety of different drug classes.

. While treatment duration varies for each patient, treatment of an acute phase of the disease generally lasts

three weeks, followed by a continuation phase of two months, and a maintenance phase of up to 18

months.

. Generally, the treatment is chosen based on the mood episode a patient is experiencing at a particular time.

. Treatment for patients in the acute mania phase includes a mood stabilizer, such as lithium or an

antiepileptic drug, in addition to an atypical antipsychotic. Patients in the acute depression phase are

initially treated with Lamictal, Symbyax (olanzapine and fluoxetine HCl capsules), a combination

antidepressant and antipsychotic, or Seroquel (quetiapine), an antipsychotic. For long-term maintenance,

the same medications that were effective for the acute episodes are typically continued at the same or lower

doses.

. Many of the drugs currently used in the treatment of bipolar disorder have adverse drug interactions

affecting each drug's efficacy and safety as well as adverse tolerability and other negative side effects such

as sedation, weight gain, involuntary movements, tremors, stiffness orthostatic hypotension and potentially

life-threatening immune system reactions.

. These side effects discourage compliance and may pose serious health risks. Antidepressants are also

often prescribed to treat bipolar depression, even though they are not indicated for such treatment and there

is a risk that such antidepressants can induce a bipolar patient to switch from depression to mania.

Use of $158mm in IPO proceeds

Business

.Produces and sell multicrystalline solar wafers to manufacturers of photovoltaic products, including solar

cells and solar modules, both in and outside China.

. Solar power has emerged as one of the primary distributed generation technologies.

March quarter problems

. Has experienced delays in fulfilling purchase orders from some customers due to shortages in supplies of

polysilicon feedstock and constraints in production capacity.

. For example, during the first quarter of 2007, production was interrupted because LDK temporarily shut

down DSS furnaces to install safety kits provided by GT Solar, manufacturer of our DSS furnaces.

. These safety kits are thermal blankets which are placed at the bottom of DSS furnaces to prevent molten

silicon from breaching the furnaces.

Market growth

> 51.5% compound growth: global crystalline solar cells

STP has a market cap of $5.24bb and reported Dec 2006 quarter revenues of $218mm

. LDK has entered into a cooperation agreement with Suntech, pursuant to which LDK has committed to

supply to Suntech 100 MW of wafers in 2007

. And, in each year from 2008 to 2015, wafers equal to 40% to 60% of annual production.

TAX RATES

. Jiangxi LDK Solar is entitled to a two-year exemption from the national enterprise income tax for 2006

and 2007 and will be subject to a reduced national enterprise income tax rate of 15% from 2008 through

2010

. Likewise, Jiangxi LDK Solar is entitled to a five-year exemption from the local enterprise income tax

beginning in 2006 and will be subject to a reduced local enterprise income tax rate of 1.5% from 2011

through 2015.

RISKS:

. Accounting issues: LDK's independent registered public accounting firm, in the course of auditing

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, noted a significant deficiency and

other weaknesses in LDK's internal control over financial reporting;

. Fluctuations in exchange rates

Capacity expansion

. As of March 31, 2007, had an annual multicrystalline wafer production capacity of 215 MW.

. According to the current expansion plan, intends to continue to increase annual production capacity,

which is expected to reach 400 MW by the end of 2007 and 800 MW by the end of 2008.

. Currently does not have contractual commitments for all the equipment necessary for the expansion of

production capacity beyond 600 MW to approximately 800 MW by the end of 2008.

Customers

. Principal customers have included CSI, Chinalight, Solarfun, Solartech Energy, Solland Solar, Suntech, in

terms of net sales during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007.

. Has sold wafers to Chinalight primarily pursuant to short-term sales contracts and monthly and quarterly

purchase orders.

. Historically, the majority of sales have been in China.

. LDK is enhancing and broadening its revenue and customer base to target other leading global

photovoltaic cell and module manufacturers.

Customer concentration

. LDK currentlys sell multicrystalline wafers to over 30 customers.

. Mostly solar cell and module manufacturers, including CSI, Chinalight, Solarfun, Solartech Energy,

Solland Solar and Suntech.

. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, LDK's five largest customers collectively

accounted for 70.2% and 56.8%, respectively, of net sales.

. Suntech and Solarfun contributed 39.7% and 13.9% (total 54%), respectively, of net sales for the year

ended December 31, 2006.

. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, Suntech and Solarfun contributed 18.3% and 9.7% (28

total), respectively, of LDK's net sales.

. Chinalight contributed 13.6% of net sales for the three-month period. LDK does, however, have long

term contracts with Chinalight.

Government subsidies drive the solar power market

. At present, the cost of solar power substantially exceeds the cost of conventional power provided by

electric utility grids in many locations around the world.

. Growth of the solar power market, particularly for on-grid applications, depends largely on the availability

and size of government subsidies and economic incentives.

. Renewable energy policies are in place in the European Union, most notably Germany and Spain, certain

countries in Asia, including China, Japan and South Korea, and many of the states in Australia and the

United States

Polysilicon feedstock

. Solar-grade polysilicon feedstock is an essential raw material in manufacturing multicrystalline solar

wafers. LDK's operations depend on its ability to procure sufficient quantities of solar-grade polysilicon on

a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms.

. Polysilicon is also an essential raw material for the semiconductor industry, which requires polysilicon of

higher purity than that for the solar industry.

. The significant growth of the solar wafer industry and the competing demand and buying power of the

semiconductor industry have resulted in an industry-wide shortage in solar-grade polysilicon and a

significant increase in solar-grade polysilicon price over the past few years.

. . According to Solarbuzz, the average price of virgin polysilicon under long-term supply contracts

increased from approximately $35 to $40 per kilogram delivered in 2005 to $50 to $55 per kilogram

delivered in 2006, and is estimated to further increase to $60 to $65 per kilogram delivered in 2007.

Limited number of virgin polysilicon producers

. According to Solarbuzz, the largest five virgin polysilicon producers had a combined production capacity

of 86% of the global production capacity of polysilicon in 2006.

. These virgin polysilicon producers not only provide silicon feedstock to the solar industry but are also the

sources of polysilicon feedstock for the semiconductor industry.

Polysilicon, pre-payments & supply issues

> Some suppliers haven't delivered

As of December 31, 2006, prepayments to polysilicon suppliers amounted to $37.7 million.

. Some of LDK's suppliers have failed to meet their delivery schedule in the past.

> Polysilicon is in short supply

. In order to secure supplies of polysilicon, LDK has entered into substantial long-term contractual

commitments to purchase polysilicon from various suppliers.

. . As of March 31, 2007, polysilicon purchase commitments amounted to $897 million. Polysilicon

purchase commitments are generally on a "take or pay" basis, so that LDK is required to purchase the

contracted supplies of polysilicon even if it is unable to use them.

RISK: If LDK's wafer production and sales and polysilicon requirements do not grow as expected, these

purchase commitments could have a material adverse effect on LDK's financial condition

> Polysilicon supply sources & cost

. Despite the current industry-wide shortage of polysilicon, LDK believes that its polysilicon feedstock

inventory and commitments from suppliers are sufficient to satisfy over 90% of estimated requirements for

2007 and 50% of estimated requirements for 2008.

. Many of the polysilicon supply agreements are subject to fluctuating market prices or price negotiations

with suppliers. The majority of LDK's polysilicon feedstock consists of polysilicon scraps and recyclable

polysilicon. Sources a portion of polysilicon feedstock from the spot market from time to time depending

on the price and requirements.

SUPPLY RISK: some competitors, including Evergreen Solar (ESLR) have polysilicon supply contracts

running out to 2014. LDK's current supply contracts seem to have a short window.

Intellectual Property Rights

. LDK has developed various production process related know-how and technologies in-house.

. In addition, we have embarked on a number of research and development programs, including a

collaboration with Shanghai Jiaotong University, with a view to developing techniques and processes that

will improve conversion efficiency and product quality.

. Currently does not have any patents or patent applications pending in China or elsewhere. Relies on

nondisclosure agreements, trade secrets and technical know-how to protect intellectual property and

proprietary rights.

. Because substantially all of LDK's business is currently conducted in China, LDK has not taken any

action outside China to protect intellectual property.

Competition

> Trends

. The multicrystalline wafer manufacturing industry is competitive. According to Photon Consulting, the

five largest wafer manufacturers accounted for 60% of global production in 2005.

. LDK believes that the supply of polysilicon feedstock will significantly increase in the next few years,

thus easing supply constraints to solar wafer manufacturers.

. Although LDK expects demand for solar wafers to grow in response to higher demand for photovoltaic

cells and modules, the international solar wafer market will become more competitive.

. Other solar wafer manufacturers are also engaged in aggressive expansion programs. In addition, new

entrants are reported to be making significant investments in the industry.

> Named competitors

. International competitors include BP Solar, Deutsche Solar, Ersol, Evergreen Solar, Green Energy, JFE,

Kyocera, M.SETEK, PV Crystalox, REC and MEMC, which has recently announced its plans to

manufacture solar wafers.

. China-based named competitors include Jinggong P-D, Shunda and Tianwei Yingli.

> LDK is not competing in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells or modules

. LDK currently have no plans to expand into the production of photovoltaic cell or modules and

. Has entered into non-competition agreements with some customers, pursuant to which LDK has agreed

not to engage in the production of solar cell or modules based on current wafer technology for the next 10

years

> Within the crystalline wafer industry

LDK alsos compete with monocrystalline wafer manufacturers.

. According to Solarbuzz, monocrystalline wafers in 2006 represented approximately 42% of the global

photovoltaic cell production while multicrystalline wafers constituted approximately 49%.

. Certain monocrystalline wafer manufacturers have begun or intend to manufacture multicrystalline

wafers, and they currently supply multicrystalline wafers to multicrystalline photovoltaic cell

manufacturers, including some of LDK's customers.

. Manufacturers of monocrystalline wafers that compete with LDK includes Ersol Solar Energy AG, or

Ersol, M.SETEK, ReneSola Ltd., or Renesola, Sumitomo Mitsubishi Silicon Corporation, or SUMCO, and

Sino-American Silicon Products Inc., or Sino-American Silicon, and Trina Solar Limited.

Business

. The leading provider of natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and

Canada, having supplied natural gas fuels to customers since 1997.

. Owns, operates or supplies 172 CNG and LNG fueling stations. Operates 140 CNG fueling stations

. Generates revenues principally by selling Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas

(LNG) to vehicle fleet customers.

. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, CNG represented 62% and LNG represented 38% of natural

gas sales (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis).

History

. In the late 1980s, one of the founders, Boone Pickens, became convinced that natural gas had a number of

advantages over gasoline and diesel as a vehicle fuel. Over the next decade and a half, Mr. Pickens and

Andrew Littlefair, CLNE's CEO, were pioneers in developing this market, targeting vehicle fleets because

they consume large amounts of fuel, refuel at centralized locations and are subject to increasingly stringent

requirements to reduce emissions. Natural gas vehicle fuels include compressed natural gas (CNG) and

liquefied natural gas (LNG).

. In 2001, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. was formed to acquire the combined businesses of Pickens Fuel Corp.

and BCG eFuels, Inc., an operator of natural gas fueling stations in Canada.

. In 2002, we acquired Blue Energy & Technologies, L.L.C., an owner and operator of natural gas fueling

station assets previously owned by the Public Service Company of Colorado and the TXU Gas Company

. Since that time, through additional acquisitions and investment in fueling stations, has continued to

expand geographically in the United States and Canada.

Growth trends

> Recently began focusing on the seaports market.

. Already is building a natural gas fueling station, and plans to build additional natural gas fueling stations

that service the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

> Also anticipates expanding sales of CNG and LNG in the other markets in which CLNE operates,

including public transit, refuse hauling and airport markets.

Competition

> The biggest competition for CNG, LNG and other alternative fuels is gasoline and diesel, the production,

distribution and sale of which are dominated by large integrated oil companies.

> Within the United States, the largest competitors for CNG sales are:

. Trillium USA / Pinnacle CNG, a privately held provider of CNG fuel infrastructure and fueling services,

which CLNE believes focuses primarily on transit fleets in California, Arizona and New York; and

. Hanover Compressor Company, a large publicly-traded international provider of natural gas compressors

and related equipment, which CLNE believes focuses its CNG vehicle fuel business primarily on transit

fleets in California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington D.C.

. These companies are significant competitors in the market for transit fleets.

> Within the U.S. LNG market, the largest competitor is Earth Biofuels, Inc., a public company that

distributes LNG in the western United States. CLNE has identified no significant competitors in Canada for

CNG or LNG sales.

-- Owns, operates or supplies 172 CNG and LNG fueling stations

. Operates 140 CNG fueling stations which CLNE estimates is four times the number of CNG fueling

stations as the next largest competitor.

. CLNE furthers estimates that in 2005 it supplied twice the amount of natural gas for vehicular use as the

next largest competitor.

. In addition, CLNE believes it is the only company in the United States or Canada that provides both CNG

and LNG on a significant scale, and CLNE operates in more states and provinces than any of our other

competitors.

> Potential entrants to the market for natural gas vehicle fuels include the large integrated oil companies,

other retail gasoline marketers and natural gas utility companies.

. The integrated oil companies produce and sell crude oil and natural gas, and they refine crude oil into

gasoline and diesel.

. They and other retail gasoline marketers own and franchise retail stations that sell gasoline and diesel fuel.

In international markets, including to a limited extent in Canada, integrated oil companies and other

established fueling companies sell CNG at a number of their vehicle fueling stations that sell gasoline and

diesel.

. Natural gas utility companies own and operate the local pipeline infrastructure that supplies natural gas to

retail, commercial and industrial customers.

A play on hedge fund manager David Einhorn

Business

. Cayman Islands-based specialty property and casualty reinsurer with a reinsurance and investment

strategy that we believe differentiates us from our competitors.

Combined ratio

GLRE's combined ratio, which is the sum of our composite ratio and our internal expense ratio, for the

three-month period ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 was 94.1% and 109.6%,

respectively.

. A combined ratio of 109.6% signifies a loss of $0.096 per dollar of premiums earned.

. The reported combined ratio of 109.6% is high due to general and administrative expenses incurred in

connection with the start-up of reinsurance operations.

. GLRE expect's its internal expense ratio to decrease significantly as the company continues to expand its

underwriting activities.

Investment performance

. The returns on GLRE's investment portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the

three months ended March 31, 2007 were 14.2%, 24.4% and (4.2)%, respectively.

. DME Advisors is controlled by David Einhorn, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and the president

of Greenlight Capital, Inc.

. DME Advisors has the contractual right to manage substantially all of investable assets until December

31, 2009, and is required to follow GLRE's investment guidelines and to act in a manner that is fair and

equitable in allocating investment opportunities to us.
