MILPITAS, Calif., April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DayStar Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSTI), a developer of solar photovoltaic products based on CIGS thin-film deposition technology, announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $2.3 million or $0.45 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.6 million or $1.22 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2010 was $28.1 million or $6.38 per share, compared with a net loss of $25.0 million or $6.72 per share in 2009. The per share losses were calculated on the weighted average common shares outstanding of 5.1 and 4.4 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, compared with 3.8 and 3.7 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 included non-cash expenses of $21.6 million. Specifically, $9.8 million of non-cash restructuring charges resulted from the extinguishment of certain liabilities in order to pursue strategic partnerships for offshore manufacturing. Also included in these non-cash expenses was $6.1 million for amortization of the discount on outstanding convertible notes as well as $4.9 million related to the restructuring of these convertible notes during the year.

Excluding non-cash charges, the net losses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010 were $0.6 million or $0.12 per share and $6.5 million or $1.48 per share, respectively, reflecting the significant cost savings measures implemented by the Company.

DayStar Chairman and Interim CEO, Peter Lacey, commented, "The renewable energy industry and the solar sector in particular, represent very attractive markets and are clearly in focus right now for many countries around the globe. Thin-film solar technologies continue to gain market share and we believe CIGS represents a strong growth opportunity within thin-film. During 2010 we restructured our balance sheet and significantly decreased our liabilities and are now well-positioned for a strategic partnership to manufacture CIGS modules offshore and capitalize on this market opportunity. We are actively in discussions with potential strategic partners to implement this strategy."
