 China BAK
Battery, Inc. (“China BAK”) is a corporation formed in the State of Nevada on
October 4, 1999 as Medina Copy, Inc. The Company changed its name to Medina
Coffee, Inc. on October 6, 1999 and subsequently changed its name to China BAK
Battery, Inc. on February 14, 2005. China BAK and its subsidiaries (hereinafter,
collectively referred to as the “Company”) are principally engaged in the
manufacture, commercialization and distribution of a wide variety of standard
and customized lithium ion (known as "Li-ion" or "Li-ion cell") rechargeable
batteries for use in cellular telephones, as well as various other portable
electronic applications, including high-power handset telephones, laptop
computers, power tools, digital cameras, video camcorders, MP3 players, electric
bicycles, hybrid/electric motors, and general industrial
applications.
 
 The
shares of the Company traded in the over-the-counter market through the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board from 2005 until May 31, 2006, when the Company
obtained approval to list its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market, and
trading commenced that same date under the symbol "CBAK".
 
 Basis
of Presentation and Organization
 
 As of
March 31, 2009, the Company’s subsidiaries consist of: i) BAK International
Limited (“BAK International”), a wholly owned limited liability company
incorporated in Hong Kong on December 29, 2003 as BATCO International Limited,
which changed its name to BAK International Limited on November 3, 2004; ii)
Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen BAK”), a wholly owned limited
liability company established on August 3, 2001 in the People’s Republic of
China (“PRC”); iii) BAK Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“BAK Electronics”), a
wholly owned limited liability company established on August 15, 2005 in the
PRC; iv) BAK International (Tianjin) Ltd. (“BAK Tianjin”), a wholly owned
limited liability company established on December 12, 2006 in the PRC; v) BAK
Battery Canada Ltd. (“BAK Canada”), a wholly owned limited liability company
established on December 20, 2006 in Canada as BAK Canada Battery Ltd., which
changed its name to BAK Battery Canada Ltd. on December 22, 2006; vi) BAK Europe
GmbH (“BAK Europe”), a wholly owned limited liability company established in
Germany on November 28, 2007; and vii) BAK Telecom India Private Limited (“BAK
India”), a wholly owned limited liability company established in India on August
14, 2008.
 
 BAK
Tianjin was established in Tianjin Technology Industrial District on December
12, 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of BAK International with registered
capital of US$99,990,000. Pursuant to BAK Tianjin’s articles of association and
relevant PRC regulations, BAK International was required to contribute
US$20,000,000 to BAK Tianjin as capital (representing 20% of BAK Tianjin’s
registered capital) before March 11, 2007. An extension from the Business
Administration Bureau of Beichen District, Tianjin, was obtained to make this
contribution no later than December 11, 2007. On November 16, 2007, BAK
International contributed approximately US$20,000,000 capital to BAK Tianjin.
The remaining US$79,990,000 was originally required to be fully contributed no
later than December 11, 2008 and an extension from the Business Administration
Bureau of Beichen District, Tianjin, was obtained to make this contribution no
later than December 11, 2009. BAK Tianjin is principally engaged in the
manufacture of advanced lithium ion batteries for use in cordless power tools
and other applications.
 
 Pursuant
to Shenzhen BAK’s articles of association and relevant PRC regulations, BAK
International was required to contribute about US$5.72 million to Shenzhen BAK
as capital (representing 7% of Shenzhen BAK’s registered capital) no later than
October 2008. As of March 31, 2009, BAK International is in the process of
applying for a reduction in its required registered capital with the relevant
government bureau.
 
 On
November 6, 2004, BAK International, a non-operating holding company that had
substantially the same shareholders as Shenzhen BAK, entered into a share swap
transaction with the shareholders of Shenzhen BAK for the purpose of the
subsequent reverse acquisition of the Company as described below. Pursuant to
the terms of the share swap transaction, BAK International acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Shenzhen BAK for US$11.5 million in cash, while the
shareholders of Shenzhen BAK acquired substantially all of the outstanding
shares of BAK International for US$11.5 million in cash. As a result, Shenzhen
BAK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAK International. After the share swap
transaction was completed, there were 31,225,642 shares of BAK International
stock outstanding, exactly the same as the number of shares of capital stock of
Shenzhen BAK that had been outstanding immediately prior to the share swap, and
the shareholders of BAK International were substantially the same as the
shareholders of Shenzhen BAK prior to the share swap. Consequently, the share
swap transaction between BAK International and the shareholders of Shenzhen BAK
was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Shenzhen BAK with no adjustment to
the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Shenzhen
BAK.

  Basis
of Presentation and Organization (continued)
 
 On
January 20, 2005, the Company completed a share swap transaction with the
shareholders of BAK International. The share swap transaction, also referred to
as the “reverse acquisition” of the Company, was consummated under Nevada law
pursuant to the terms of a Securities Exchange Agreement entered by and among
China BAK, BAK International and the shareholders of BAK International on
January 20, 2005. Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement, the Company
issued 39,826,075 shares of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share, to the
shareholders of BAK International (including 31,225,642 shares to the original
shareholders and 8,600,433 shares to new investors who had purchased shares in
the private placement described below), representing approximately 97.2% of the
Company’s post-exchange issued and outstanding common stock, in exchange for
100% of the outstanding capital stock of BAK International.
 
 The share
swap transaction has been accounted for as a capital-raising transaction of the
Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of Shenzhen
BAK are consolidated using historical carrying amounts. The 1,152,458 shares of
China BAK outstanding prior to the stock exchange transaction were accounted for
at the net book value at the time of the transaction, which was a deficit of
US$1,672.
 
 Also on
January 20, 2005, immediately prior to consummating the share swap transaction,
BAK International executed a private placement of its common stock with
unrelated investors whereby it issued an aggregate of 8,600,433 shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of US$17,000,000.  In conjunction with this
financing, Mr. Xiangqian Li, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, agreed to place 2,179,550 shares of the Company's common stock owned by
him into an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated January 20,
2005 (the “Escrow Agreement”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, 50% of the
escrowed shares were to be released to the investors in the private placement if
audited net income of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005
was not at least US$12,000,000, and the remaining 50% were to be released to
investors in the private placement if audited net income of the Company for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was not at least
US$27,000,000.  If the audited net income of the Company for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 reached the above-mentioned
targets, the 2,179,550 shares would be released to Mr. Xiangqian Li in the
amount of 50% upon reaching the 2005 target and the remaining 50% upon reaching
the 2006 target.
 
 Under
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”), escrow agreements such as the one established by Mr. Xiangqian Li
generally constitute compensation if, following attainment of a performance
threshold, shares are returned to a company officer. The Company determined that
without consideration of the compensation charge, the performance thresholds for
the year ended September 30, 2005 would be achieved. However, after
consideration of a related compensation charge, the Company determined that such
thresholds would not have been achieved. The Company also determined that, even
without consideration of a compensation charge, the performance thresholds for
the year ended September 30, 2006 would not be achieved. No compensation charge
was recorded by the Company for the years ended September 30, 2005 and
2006.
 
 While the
1,089,775 escrow shares relating to the 2005 performance threshold were
previously released to Mr. Xiangqian Li, Mr. Xiangqian Li executed a further
undertaking on August 21, 2006 to return those shares to the escrow agent for
the distribution to the relevant investors. However, such shares were not
returned to the escrow agent, but, pursuant to a Delivery of Make Good Shares,
Settlement and Release Agreement between the Company, BAK International and Mr.
Li entered into on October 22, 2007 (the “Li Settlement Agreement”), such shares
were ultimately delivered to the Company as described below. Because the Company
failed to satisfy the performance threshold for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2006, the remaining 1,089,775 escrow shares relating to the fiscal year 2006
performance threshold were released to the relevant investors. As Mr. Li has not
retained any of the shares placed into escrow, and as the investors party to the
Escrow Agreement are only shareholders of the Company and do not have and are
not expected to have any other relationship to the Company, the Company has not
recorded a compensation charge for the years ended September 30, 2005 and
2006.
 
 At the
time the escrow shares relating to the 2006 performance threshold were
transferred to the investors in fiscal year 2007, the Company should have
recognized a credit to donated shares and a debit to additional paid-in capital,
both of which are elements of shareholders’ equity. This entry is not material
because total shares of common stock issued and outstanding, total shareholders’
equity and total assets do not change; nor is there any impact on income or
earnings per share. Therefore, previously filed consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 will not be restated.
This share transfer has been reflected in these financial statements by
reclassifying the balances of certain items as of October 1, 2007. The balances
of donated shares and additional paid-in capital as of October 1, 2007 were
credited and debited by US$7,955,358 respectively, as set out in the
consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the six months ended March
31, 2008.

 In
November 2007, Mr. Xiangqian Li delivered the 1,089,775 shares related to the
2005 performance threshold to BAK International pursuant to the Li Settlement
Agreement; BAK International in turn delivered the shares to the Company. Such
shares (other than those issued to investors pursuant to the 2008 Settlement
Agreements, as described below) are now held by the Company. Upon receipt of
these shares, the Company and BAK International released all claims and causes
of action against Mr. Xiangqian Li regarding the shares, and Mr. Xiangqian Li
released all claims and causes of action against the Company and BAK
International regarding the shares. Under the terms of the Li Settlement
Agreement, the Company commenced negotiations with the investors who
participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement in order to achieve
a complete settlement of BAK International’s obligations (and the Company’s
obligations to the extent it has any) under the applicable agreements with such
investors.
 
 Beginning
on March 13, 2008, the Company has entered into settlement agreements (the “2008
Settlement Agreements”) with certain investors in the January 2005 private
placement.
 
 Pursuant
to the 2008 Settlement Agreements, the Company and the settling investors have
agreed, without any admission of liability, to a settlement and mutual release
from all claims relating to the January 2005 private placement, including all
claims relating to the escrow shares related to the 2005 performance threshold
that had been placed into escrow by Mr. Xiangqian Li, as well as all claims,
including claims for liquidated damages relating to registration rights granted
in connection with the January 2005 private placement. Under the 2008 Settlement
Agreement, the Company has made settlement payments to each of the settling
investors of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to
50% of the number of the escrow shares related to the 2005 performance threshold
these investors had claimed; aggregate settlement payments as of March 31, 2009
amounted to 368,745 shares. Share payments to date have been made in reliance
upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) and/or other
applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance
with the 2008 Settlement Agreements, the Company filed a registration statement
covering the resale of such shares which was declared effective by the SEC on
June 26, 2008.
 
 The
Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with US GAAP.
 
 The
interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. The Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 has been taken from the
Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other
financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of
management, contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company’s accounting
policies and certain other disclosure are set forth in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto.
 
 The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from
that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company’s principal
subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles
and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited
liabilities established in the PRC, Hong Kong, India, Canada or Germany, the
accounting standards used in the places of their domicile.  The
accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect
necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company's
subsidiaries to present them in conformity with US GAAP.

Accounting Standards
  FAS
No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
 
 In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS
No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, where
fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The standard does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS No.
157 has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 SFAS
No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”
 
 In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115,” or SFAS No. 159.  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.  Entities that elect the fair value option will report
unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date.  The fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions.  SFAS No. 159
also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for
similar assets and liabilities.  The requirements of SFAS No. 159
apply to the Company’s financial statements starting in its fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has no
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 SFAS
No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an
amendment of ARB No. 51”
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51,” or SFAS No.
160.  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary.  The guidance will apply to the Company’s financial
statements starting in its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.  The
Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS No. 160
will have on its financial statements upon adoption.
 
 SFAS
No. 141(Revised) “Business Combinations”
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations,”
or SFAS No. 141 (Revised).  SFAS No. 141 (Revised) establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The
statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill
acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose
to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination.  The guidance will apply to the
Company starting in its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.  The
Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141
(Revised) will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

FAS No. 157-1 “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement
13”
 
 In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS
No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement
13”, or FSP FAS 157-1. FSP FAS 157-1 provides a scope exception from Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
No. 157”) for the evaluation criteria on lease classification and capital
lease measurement under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and other
related accounting pronouncements. The Company adopted FSP FAS
157-1 effective October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS
No. 157 will not be applied to lease transactions under SFAS 13 except
when applying SFAS No. 157 to business combinations recorded by the
Company.
 
 FSP
FAS No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”
 
 In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”) which delays the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for
certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. FSP FAS 157-2 will
become effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the impact of applying FSP FAS 157-2 to nonfinancial
assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. Examples of items to
which the deferral would apply include, but are not limited to:
 
 -
                nonfinancial
      assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are measured at fair value in a
      business combination or other new basis event, except those that are
      remeasured at fair value in subsequent
periods;
 -
                reporting
      units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment
      test as described in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
      Assets” (“SFAS No.142”), and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
      liabilities measured at fair value in the SFAS No. 142 goodwill
      impairment test, if applicable;
and
 -
                nonfinancial
      liabilities for exit or disposal activities initially measured at fair
      value under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
      or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS
No. 146”).
 
 As a
result of the issuance of FSP FAS 157-2, the Company did not apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2 in the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2009.
 
 SFAS
No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities”
 
 In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities,” or SFAS No. 161.  SFAS No. 161 is intended to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities
by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows.  It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged.  SFAS No. 161 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 FSP
FAS No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets”
 
 In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS
142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the
asset under SFAS 141R and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008 which means that it will be
effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Early
adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 on its financial statements.
 
 FSP
FAS No. 115-2 and FAS124-2 “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
(“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”
 
 In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment
guidance in SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, for debt securities and the presentation and disclosure requirements
of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the
financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption
permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on its
financial statements.

 The

services.
 
 Stock
Option Plan
  In May
2005, the Board of Directors adopted the China BAK Battery, Inc. 2005 Stock
Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan originally authorized the issuance of up to
4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to stock options
granted under the Plan, or as grants of restricted stock. The exercise price of
options granted pursuant to the Plan must be at least equal to the fair market
value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant. Fair market
value is determined at the discretion of the designated committee on the basis
of reported sales prices for the Company’s common stock over a ten business day
period ending on the grant date. The Plan will terminate on May 16, 2055. On
July 28, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the
Plan, including an amendment increasing the total number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan to 8,000,000.
 
 Pursuant
to the Plan, the Company granted options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common
stock with an exercise price of US$6.25 per share on May 16, 2005. In accordance
with the vesting provisions of the grants, the options became vested and
exercisable under the following schedule:

  Subsequent
to the grant date, options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock were
forfeited because the optionees terminated their employment with the Company. In

of common stock were cancelled pursuant to the Termination and Release
Agreements signed on that day. Details of the cancellation of stock options and
the relevant replacement awards are set out below under “Employee Restricted

 As of
March 31, 2009, there were unrecognized compensation costs of US$1,278,224
related to the above non-vested share options. These costs are expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
 
 Pursuant
to the Plan, and in accordance with the China BAK Battery, Inc. Compensation
Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the Company also granted 5,000 restricted
shares to each of the existing elected independent directors with a fair value
of US$4.56 per share on August 6, 2008. The eligible directors shall vest
in their rights under the restricted shares according to the following
schedule:
  (i) 25%
of the restricted shares granted will immediately vest on the grant date;
and
  (ii) The
remaining 75% of the restricted shares will vest in three equal quarterly
installments on the last day of each subsequent quarter or in three equal
quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter beginning on the
last day of the first full calendar quarter after the grant date.
 
 The
Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of US$33,166 for the
six months ended March 31, 2009, in respect of the restricted shares granted in
August 2008, which was allocated to general and administrative
expenses.
 
 As of
March 31, 2009, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation of
US$4,730 associated with these restricted shares granted to non-employee
directors. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of 0.3 years. The first, second and third 25% of the restricted shares
were issued as fully paid shares of common stock to the Company’s three
independent directors on August 6, 2008, October 20, 2008 and March 2, 2009,
respectively. The remaining 25% of the restricted shares had not yet been issued
to the three independent directors as of March 31, 2009.
 
 As the
Company itself is an investment holding company which is not expected to
generate operating profits to realize the tax benefits arising from its net
operating loss carried forward, no income tax benefits were recognized for such
stock-based compensation cost under the Stock Option Plan for the six
months ended March 31, 2009.

Restricted Stock Award





On
September 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved the form of Termination
and Release Agreement covering the cancellation of 1,400,000 shares of stock
options granted to the optionees who were residents of the PRC. The Compensation
Committee also consented to adopt the terms and provisions for the Restricted
Stock Grant Agreement covering the issuance of restricted shares, and committed
to determine an appropriate number of shares of restricted stock that would be
granted to these optionees under the Plan (the “Replacement Awards”) during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007. In addition, the Compensation Committee also
approved certain officers of the Company to authorize delivery of the restricted
shares to the employees. On September 28, 2006, options to purchase a total of
1,400,000 shares of common stock were cancelled pursuant to the Termination and
Release Agreements signed on that day. The Replacement Awards were classified as
liability-classified awards as of September 30, 2006.





The
Company has estimated the fair value of the Replacement Awards to be US$4.27 per
share as of December 26, 2006, based on the estimated fair value of the
cancelled options using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model together with
the following assumptions.

On
December 26, 2006, pursuant to the restricted stock grant agreements signed
between the Company and the relevant optionees and based on the closing market
price of the Company’s listed common stock on that date, i.e. US$6.25 per share,
a total of 914,994 shares of restricted stock were granted as Replacement Awards
to the employees who gave up their stock options and continued to be employed by
the Company on that date. Fair value of the Replacement Awards granted to each
optionee approximated that of the employee’s terminated stock options. The
Compensation Committee ratified the grants on January 15, 2007.





Prior to
vesting, the shares of restricted stock granted to each employee pursuant to the
Replacement Awards were subject to restrictions on transferability and were to
be forfeited if the grantee’s employment with the Company was terminated. In
accordance with the vesting provisions of the grants, the shares of restricted
stock became vested and were not subject to forfeiture under the following

Upon the
grant of restricted stock, the Company reclassified share-based payment
liabilities of US$3,679,934 to shareholders’ equity. The restricted stock grant
is treated as equity-classified awards and the unrecognized compensation costs
were recognized over the vesting period. The Company recognized share-based
compensation expense of US$428,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 in
respect of the equity-classified award. These share-based compensation costs
were allocated to cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses respectively. All
shares of restricted stock granted as of March 31, 2009 vested before September
30, 2008 and no non-cash share-based compensation expense was recognized for the
six months ended March 31, 2009.





As of
March 31, 2009, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to the
restricted stock grants.

      Loss per Share




The
calculation of basic net loss per share is based on the net loss for the six
months ended March 31, 2009 attributable to equity shareholders of $7,460,681
(Six months ended March 31, 2008: $7,124,292) and the weighted average number of

months ended March 31, 2009 (Six months ended March 31, 2008:
51,229,322).





The
effects of 1,975,750 shares of stock options and 265,280 shares of restricted
stock outstanding during the six months ended or as of March 31, 2008 were all
anti-dilutive and the effects of 3,003,750 shares of stock options and 4,102,564
warrants outstanding during the six months ended or as of March 31, 2009 were
all anti-dilutive. As such, basic and diluted net loss per share for the

            Property
      ownership and land use rights
certificates




According
to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, a land use rights certificate, along
with government approvals for land planning, project planning and construction,
needs to be obtained before construction of a building is commenced. A property
ownership certificate shall be granted by the government upon application under
the condition that the aforementioned certificate and government approvals have
been obtained.





The
Company did not obtain the land use rights certificate and approvals for
project-planning and construction relating to the premises occupied by the
Company, BAK Industrial Park, before construction of the buildings was
commenced. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has obtained the aforementioned
land use rights certificate and government approvals and was in the process of
negotiating with the relevant government bureau for the application and
acquisition of the appropriate property ownership certificate.





Management
believes that the Company will ultimately be granted a property ownership
certificate, and that there should be no legal barriers for the Company to
obtain a property ownership certificate for the premises presently occupied by
the Company in BAK Industrial Park. However, in the event that the Company
fails to obtain the property ownership certificate relating to
BAK Industrial Park, there is a risk that the building constructed will
need to be vacated as illegitimate constructions and the Company might be
subject to penalties and fines. However, management believes that this
possibility, while present, is remote.





Pursuant
to the land use rights certificate granted relating to the Company’s Tianjin
facility, the Tianjin government had requested that the Company complete the
construction of the Tianjin facility before September 30, 2008. As of March
31, 2009, the Company was in the process of negotiating with the relevant
government bureau for the extension of the construction completion date. If the
Company fails to obtain approval for the extension of the completion date from
the relevant government bureau, there is a risk that the land use rights
certificate relating to the Company’s Tianjin facility will become
invalid.  However, management believes that this possibility, while
present, is remote.





Pursuant
to the land use rights certificate that the Company obtained relating to the
Research and Development Test Centre to be constructed in Shenzhen, the Company
must complete at least 25% of the construction of the new Research and
Development Test Centre by September 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, the Company
was in the process of negotiating with the relevant government bureau for the
extension of the completion date. According to the land use rights certificate,
such rights may not be pledged without the approval of the relevant government
bureau. The Company is required to pledge its property ownership and land use
rights certificate in relation to the new Research and Development Test Centre
to China Development Bank according to the loan agreement entered into with it.
The Company was in the process of negotiating with the relevant government
bureau for the requisite approval.




On
December 15, 2008, the Company purchased insurance for its manufacturing
facilities at BAK Industrial Park in Shenzhen, China. Under the insurance policy
entered into with Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Company of China,
Ltd, the insured amount for our manufacturing facilities at BAK Industrial Park
is RMB 585,373,070 (approximately $85.8 million) for the period from November
26, 2008 to August 25, 2010.





The
Company is not able to insure its manufacturing facilities in Tianjin or its new
Research and Development Test Centre to be constructed in Shenzhen, China, until
it receives the required property ownership and land use rights
certificates.  Upon receipt of such certificates, the Company intends
to procure such insurance.  As discussed above, the Company
has obtained the land use rights certificate to the land relating to these
facilities. The application for a property ownership certificate is in
process with respect to the Company’s facilities in
Tianjin.

      and claims




On
September 12, 2006, Hydro-Quebec, a Canadian company, and the Board of Regents
of the University of Texas System brought a federal patent infringement suit in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the
Company. The Company had an agreement with A123 Systems, Inc. (“A123Systems”),
which, as amended on August 18, 2005, terminated in accordance with its terms on
August 30, 2007. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company had agreed to
manufacture products for A123Systems according to the specifications furnished
by, and using the finished electrodes and other materials consigned by
A123Systems to the Company. The plaintiffs alleged that, by manufacturing
rechargeable lithium cells for A123Systems for use in DeWalt 36-volt cordless
power tools manufactured by Black & Decker Corporation, the Company had
infringed two U.S. patents owned by and exclusively licensed to the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief and damages in an unspecified amount. If
the court issues an adverse decision, the Company may be required to pay the
plaintiffs substantial monetary damages, and the Company may be prohibited from
future production of rechargeable lithium cells manufactured for A123Systems or
be required to pay royalties to engage in any such production. The court has not
yet issued a decision on this matter and the Company is unable to quantify the
extent of any possible award of damages that might become payable by the
Company.

Company’s cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits were held by major
financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high
credit quality.

Item
      2.
            Management’s
      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations.





Overview





The
global financial crisis and recession adversely affected many of the markets
that our customers serve.  As a result, our overall net revenues
suffered for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.  During the
second quarter of fiscal 2009, we generated $40.8 million in net revenues, which
is over 20.5% lower than our net revenues of $51.3 million in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2008.  The substantial decrease in net revenues
over the net revenues generated in the same period of last year was primarily a
result of the global financial crisis and recession, which weakened demand for
many of the products that our customers sell.





Although
second quarter results were below our expectations, we have taken action to
position the Company to meet the challenges of the economy. We tightened our
focus on our core competencies in aluminum-case battery cells, cylindrical
battery cells and polymer battery cells   As such, in January we
suspended steel-case battery cell production. Furthermore, we continued to
implement measures to reduce costs and operational expenses.  Our
operational expenses for this quarter were approximately $6.4 million, our
lowest level in any quarter since fiscal year 2007.  In addition, our
financing costs were less than $2.4 million, our lowest quarterly level since
our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.





In the
near-term, we anticipate operating challenges due to the global financial crisis
and recession, including lower market demand, which may in turn compel us to
lower selling prices.  These challenges may impede the trend of
increasing our revenues and gross margin. As noted above, we responded to these
challenges partly by continuing to take a number of cost-cutting actions. During
the second quarter, we continued to implement our aggressive cost management
program announced earlier this year.  These included reductions in
total headcount, work hours for hourly workers, and compensation packages for
salaried employees, including senior executives. Employees were also required to
take unpaid leaves and were required to take longer holiday leaves for the
Chinese New Year. We suspended our steel-case cell production for January 2009
to reduce unneeded inventory and to lower our energy costs. All of these
measures reduced our general and administrative operating expenses by $2.6
million for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 as compared to such expenses for
the first quarter of this fiscal year. In addition, although the demand for our
prismatic cells decreased during the last fiscal quarter, we believe they will
still be widely needed, and we are positively seeking to increase the market
share of our prismatic cells for OEM cellular phones in China.  We
also plan to increase our investment in sales and marketing with regard to our
cylindrical cells and polymer cells, as these markets have been significantly
negatively impacted by the global financial crisis and recession. In addition,
we are pursuing opportunities to raise our selling prices by penetrating
high-end markets, and to further reduce the purchase costs of raw
materials.





During
the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, a first-tier OEM notebook computer
manufacturer determined that our cylindrical lithium-ion cells met their
stringent performance and reliability requirements, and accepted us into its
approved vendor list. From a long-term perspective, we believe that our
investment in building our first-tier OEM capabilities and increasing our
production capacity will ultimately improve our profitability and
competitiveness as increased volume of sales to first-tier OEM manufacturers of
notebook computers and other applications absorb the higher fixed overhead costs
of the investment in applicable equipment and infrastructure. Also, our Tianjin
facility received positive market feedback to samples of its lithium-phosphate
high-power cells, used in electric bicycles, power tools, uninterruptible power
supplies, and other applications. We believe that we will generate additional
revenue and increase market share as we gradually increase our high-power cells
production.





To help
us finance and expand our operations, we have access to $202.7 million in
short-term credit facilities and $55.6 million in long-term credit
facilities.  As of March 31, 2009, the principal outstanding amounts
under our credit facilities included short-term bank loans of $117.1 million,
long-term bank loans of $16.1 million maturing within one year and long-term
bank loans of $39.5 million maturing in over one year, and bills payable of
$10.6 million, leaving $75.0 million of short-term funds available for
additional cash needs.  In addition, on July 10, 2008, our $60.0
million shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, pursuant
to which we raised $16.0 million in gross revenue from common stock purchases
and issued common stock warrants exercisable for up to $16.0 million in
additional gross proceeds.  We may raise up to an additional $44.0
million in gross proceeds from future equity financings under this shelf
registration statement.

Income
Taxes.  Under PRC income tax laws and regulations, before
January 1, 2008, a foreign-invested enterprise, or FIE, was generally subject to
an enterprise income tax rate of 33.0%, which included a 30% state income tax
and a 3.0% local income tax.  However, from at least calendar year
2002 through calendar year 2007, an enterprise recognized as a “Manufacturing
Enterprise Located in Special Economic Zone” under PRC tax laws was entitled to
a preferential income tax rate of 15%.  Moreover, a foreign-invested
manufacturing enterprise, starting from its first profitable calendar year after
offset of accumulated tax losses, was entitled to a two-year exemption from
enterprise income tax followed by a three-year 50% reduction in its enterprise
income tax rate.  An enterprise qualified for such treatment may
receive a further tax rate reduction related to the size of qualified capital
contributions received.  In addition, from at least calendar year 2002
through calendar year 2007, an enterprise qualified as an “advanced technology
enterprise” under PRC tax law was also entitled to a 50% reduction of income
taxes.





Shenzhen
BAK and BAK Electronics are both registered and operate in Shenzhen, the PRC,
and are each recognized as “Manufacturing Enterprise Located in Special Economic
Zone.”  As a result, they have been entitled to a preferential income
tax rate of 15%.  In accordance with the relevant income tax laws, the
profits of Shenzhen BAK and BAK Electronics were fully exempted from income tax
for two years from the first profitable calendar year of operations after offset
of accumulated tax losses, followed by a 50% exemption for the immediate next
three calendar years, or the Tax Holiday.





The Tax
Holiday of Shenzhen BAK commenced in 2002, the first calendar year in which
Shenzhen BAK had assessable profit, and ended on December 31,
2006.  In addition, due to our qualified capital contributions to
Shenzhen BAK in both 2005 and 2006 and Shenzhen BAK’s qualification as an
advanced technology enterprise in 2007 and 2008, Shenzhen BAK was granted a
preferential income tax rate of 3.309%, 3.82%, 7.5%, and 11.8% for calendar
years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. In accordance with the
transition period of the new corporate income tax law, or the New CIT Law,
described below, Shenzhen BAK’s income tax rate for calendar years 2009, 2010
and 2011 is expected to be 20%, 22%, and 24%, respectively, before the
application of any applicable tax preferences. Starting in calendar year 2012,
it is expected to be subject to an income tax rate of 25%.





BAK
Electronics, established in August 2005, has been eligible for the same
preferential tax treatment previously applicable to Shenzhen BAK and was in the
Tax Holiday and fully exempt from any enterprise income tax for calendar years
2006 and 2007 followed by a three-year 50% reduction in its enterprise income
tax rate.  In addition, pursuant to the transition period of the New
CIT Law described below, and before considering the above-mentioned 50%
reduction, BAK Electronics’ income tax rate for calendar year 2008 was 18%, and
for calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011 are expected to be 20%, 22%, and 24%,
respectively.  Therefore, BAK Electronics’ income tax rate after
consideration of its Tax Holiday was 9% for calendar year 2008, and is expected
to be 10%, 11%, and 24% for calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011,
respectively.  Starting in calendar year 2012, it is expected to be
subject to an income tax rate of 25%.





Shenzhen
BAK and BAK Electronics received in aggregate a tax benefit of $50,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 2009, or $0.0009 per basic share, pursuant to the
preferential tax treatment described above and the transition period of the New
CIT Law described below.





BAK
Tianjin is currently exempted from any enterprise income tax due to cumulative
tax losses.





On March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC adopted the New CIT
Law.  The New CIT Law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax
deduction and preferential policy for both domestic enterprises and FIEs. The
New CIT Law became effective on January 1, 2008.  According to the New
CIT Law, the applicable income tax rate for Shenzhen BAK, BAK Electronics and
BAK Tianjin will be 25% after their preferential tax holidays and the transition
period of the New CIT Law have ended, before the application of any applicable
tax preferences.  This transition period started in 2008 and will end
in 2011.  Pursuant to the transition period, tax rates for subject
entities were 18% for calendar year 2008, and are expected to be 20%, 22%, and
24% for calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively, before the
application of applicable tax holidays or other tax preferences.





China BAK
Battery, Inc. is subject to U.S. tax at the statutory rate of 35%.  We
have not made provisions for any U.S. tax because we have determined that we
have no U.S. taxable income.

Our
Canadian subsidiary, BAK Canada, is subject to Canada’s profits tax at the rate
of 38%.  However, because it does not have any assessable income
derived from or arising in Canada, it has not paid any Canadian profits
tax.





Our
German subsidiary, BAK Europe, is subject to Germany’s profits tax at the rate
of 25%.  However, because it does not have any assessable income
derived from or arising in Germany, it has not paid any German profits
tax.





Our
Indian subsidiary, BAK India, is subject to India’s profits tax at the rate of
30%.  However, because it does not have any assessable income derived
from or arising in India, it has not paid any Indian profits tax.





Our Hong
Kong subsidiary, BAK International, is subject to Hong Kong’s profits tax at the
rate of 16.5%. However, because it does not have any assessable income derived
from or arising in Hong Kong, it has not paid any Hong Kong profits
tax.





Our
effective tax expense rate was 0.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and
our effective tax benefit rate was 0.3% for the six months ended March 31,
2008.

Net
Revenues.  Net revenues decreased to $40.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $51.3 million for the same period of
the prior year, a decrease of $10.5 million or 20.5%.  Our net
revenues were smaller for the three months ended March 31, 2009 than for the
same period of the prior year in part because of decreased customer orders as
the global financial crisis and recession adversely affected many of the markets
that our customers serve. The following sets forth the breakdown of our net
revenues by battery cell type for the periods indicated.

            Net
      revenues from sales of aluminum-case cells decreased to $23.3 million in
      the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $30.3 million in the same
      period in fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $7.0 million or 23.0%,
      resulting from a decrease in sales volume of 26.6% driven by decreased
      sales to the OEM market in the PRC due to reduced customer demand and the
      global financial crisis and
recession.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of steel-case cells decreased $4.4 million or 75.1% to
      $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $5.9 million
      in the same period in fiscal year 2008. This revenue decrease was due
      to a decrease in sales volume of 73.2%, which was primarily attributable
      to our long-term strategic reduction, and suspension in January 2009, of
      steel-case cell production which was implemented in order to increase our
      aluminum-case cell production capacity for the OEM market and to take
      advantage of the greater sales prospects and lower costs of aluminum-case
      cells. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the price and profit
      margin of steel-case cells were lower than those of aluminum-case cells
      and market demand for aluminum-case cells was stronger than for steel-case
      cells. We expect that our revenue will be positively impacted by this
      shift.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of battery packs decreased to $4.7 million in the
      three months ended March 31, 2009, from $6.6 million in the same period in
      fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $1.9 million or
      28.3%.  This resulted from a decrease in sales volume of 22.0%
      and a decrease in our average selling price of 8.0% driven by decreased
      sales to the OEM market in the PRC and customer pricing pressure due to
      the global financial crisis and
recession.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of cylindrical cells increased to $9.2 million in the
      three months ended March 31, 2009, from $6.7 million in the same period in
      fiscal year 2008, an increase of $2.5 million or 37.5%, due to
      increased sales volume of 38.0% driven by increased sales to laptop
      manufacturers.





·
            We
      sold $2.1 million of lithium polymer cells in the three months ended March
      31, 2009, compared to $1.9 million of lithium polymer cells in the same
      period in fiscal year 2008, driven by our expanded production capacity and
      volume.





·
            We
      also sold approximately $30,000 of high-power lithium-phosphate cells in
      the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to no sales of this
      battery cell type in the same period of fiscal year 2008, due to our sale
      of sample products used in electric bicycles, power tools, uninterruptible
      power supplies, and other applications from our Tianjin
      facility.





Cost of
Revenues.  Cost of revenues decreased to $37.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $47.4 million for the same period in
fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $9.6 million or 20.3%. The decrease in cost
of revenues correlates to a decrease in sales volume over the three months ended
March 31, 2009.





As a
result, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $3.0 million
or 7.4% of net revenues as compared to gross profit of $3.9 million or 7.6% of
net revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2008. Our decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to the greater
proportion of sales of lithium polymer cells with lower gross margin during the
three months ended March 31, 2009.


5


Research and
Development Costs.  Research and development costs decreased to $1.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $1.4 million
for the same period in fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $265,000 or 19.1%,
due to a number of decreases in R&D-related costs over the three months
ended March 31, 2009. Salaries related to R&D staff decreased by $29,000
primarily due to reduction in headcount. Share-based compensation included in
R&D costs decreased by $159,000 due to amortization of stock option grants
to employees in our R&D department. Depreciation charges decreased by
$64,000 and research materials charges decreased by $83,000, mainly due to the
reduction in work hours during the three months ended March 31,
2009.




Sales and
Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $1.4 million
for the same period in fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $249,000 or 17.7%,
primarily due to decreased compensation of $100,000 for sales and marketing
personnel and reduced packaging expenses of $134,000 which fell in line with
decreased sales. Share-based compensation included in sales and marketing
expenses decreased by $36,000 due to amortization of stock option grants to
employees in our sales department.  As a percentage of net revenues,
sales and marketing expenses increased marginally to 2.8% for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, from 2.7% for the same period in fiscal year 2008, due to
the decrease in revenues from sales offset by lower overall sales
expenses.





General and
Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses
decreased to $4.1 million, or 10.1% of revenues, for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, as compared to $4.8 million, or 9.4% of revenues, for the same
period in fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $708,000 or 14.7%. Share-based
compensation included in general and marketing expenses increased by $144,000
due to amortization of stock option grants to employees in our general
administration department.  Bad debt expenses increased by $809,000
due to the provision charged after we had assessed the collection of accounts
receivables from customers during the three months ended March 31, 2009. We also
recognized an exchange loss of $52,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, compared with $771,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2008, a
decrease of $719,000 or 93.3%.





We did
not recognize in general and administrative expenses any amount for liquidated
damages for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  We were liable for
liquidated damages to certain shareholders whose shares were included in a
resale registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed pursuant to a
registration rights agreement that we entered into with such shareholders in
relation to a private placement that we conducted in November 2007. The SEC did
not declare this registration statement effective by a certain date, and under
the November 2007 registration rights agreement, the included selling
shareholders became eligible for liquidated damages of $293,475 as of March 31,
2008. Please see Part II, Item 1. “Legal Proceedings — Liquidated Damages
Pursuant to November 2007 Registration Rights Agreement” for a further
description of these liquidated damages. We therefore recognized in general and
administrative expenses an amount of $293,475 for the liquidated damages for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.





Operating
Loss.  As a result of the above, operating loss totaled $3.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $3.7 million for the
same period of the prior year, a decrease of $329,000 or 8.9%.




Finance Costs,
Net.  Finance costs, net, decreased to $2.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $2.4 million for the same period of
the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $54,000 or 2.2%. We have $117.1 million in
short-term bank loans maturing in less than one year, $16.1 million in long-term
bank loans maturing within one year, and $39.5 million in other long-term bank
loans maturing in more than one year, outstanding as of March 31, 2009, as
compared to $116.8 million in short-term bank loans maturing in less than one
year, $8.5 million in long-term bank loans maturing within one year, and $31.3
million in other long-term bank loans maturing in more than one year,
outstanding as of March 31, 2008. The decrease in net finance costs is mainly
attributable to a significant decrease in the average bank loan interest rates
on both our short-term and long-term bank loans.




Government Grant
Income.  We had deferred revenue from government grant income of
$68,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to
government grant income of $137,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal
year. The government grant income for the three months ended March 31, 2009
mainly consisted of subsidies to pay for the land use rights to our corporate
campus at BAK Industrial Park. Government grant income for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 mainly represented the receipt of grant funds from the
Chinese government to subsidize the interest expenses incurred by the Company in
prior years for research and development activities and to refund the
value-added tax paid by Shenzhen BAK in prior years in light of Shenzhen BAK’s
qualification as a new and high-technology enterprise.


6


Income Tax
Expenses.  Income tax expenses were $211,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, as compared to income tax expenses of $119,000 for the
same period of 2008. The change was the result of deferred tax provision during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009.





Net
Loss.  As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $5.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $6.2 million for
the same period of 2008.

Net
Revenues.  Net revenues increased to $108.9 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $104.1 million for same period of
the prior fiscal year, an increase of $4.8 million or 4.6%.  Our net
revenues were greater for the six months ended March 31, 2009 than for the same
period of the prior year in part because of increased shipments as we expanded
our production capacity to meet increased customer orders for our
products.  However, the global financial crisis and recession slowed
the growth of our net revenues due to its adverse effect on many of the markets
that our customers serve.  The following sets forth the breakdown of
our net revenues by battery cell type for the periods
indicated.

            Net
      revenues from sales of aluminum-case cells increased to $60.6 million in
      the six months ended March 31, 2009, from $60.3 million in the same period
      in fiscal year 2008, an increase of $259,000 or 0.4%, due to a
      12.3%increase in the average selling price resulting from a change in the
      type of the aluminum-case cells sold, offset by a 10.6% decrease in sales
      volume driven by decreased sales to the OEM market in the PRC resulting
      from the global financial crisis and
recession.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of steel-case cells decreased to $4.6 million in the
      six months ended March 31, 2009, from $15.6 million in the same period in
      fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $11.1 million or 70.8%.This decrease
      was due to reduced sales volume of 74.1%, which was primarily attributable
      to our long-term strategic reduction, and suspension in January 2009, of
      steel-case cell production which was designed to increase our production
      capacity of aluminum-case cells for sale to the OEM market and to take
      advantage of the greater sales prospects and lower costs of aluminum-case
      cells. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the price and profit
      margin of steel-case cells were lower than those of aluminum-case cells
      and market demand for aluminum-case cells was stronger than for steel-case
      cells. As a result, we suspended our production of steel-case cells in
      January 2009. We expect that our revenue will be positively impacted by
      this shift.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of battery packs decreased to $10.1 million in the six
      months ended March 31, 2009, from $11.6 million in the same period in
      fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $1.4 million or 12.5%, due to a
      decrease in sales volume of 14.0% and only a slight increase in our
      average selling price of 1.7% driven by decreased sales to customers in
      the OEM market in the PRC which have been hurt by the global financial
      crisis and recession.





·
            Net
      revenues from sales of cylindrical cells increased to $27.6 million in the
      six months ended March 31, 2009, from $9.3 million in the same period in
      fiscal year 2008, an increase of $18.3 million or 197.6%, due to an
      increase in sales volume of 160.0% and an increase in our average selling
      price of 14.4% driven by increased export
sales.





·
            We
      sold $6.0 million of lithium polymer cells in the six months ended March
      31, 2009, compared to $7.3 million of lithium polymer cells in the same
      period in 2008, due to a decrease of 27.3% in sales volume offset by an
      increase of 12.9% in our average selling price as a result of a decline in
      market demand relating to the global financial crisis and
      recession.





·
            We
      also sold approximately $30,000 of high-power lithium-phosphate cells in
      the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to no sales of this
      battery cell type in the same period of fiscal year 2008, due to our sale
      of samples used in electric bicycles, power tools, uninterruptible power
      supplies, and other applications from our Tianjin
  facility.





Cost of
Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased to $95.3 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $93.1 million for the same period in
fiscal year 2008, an increase of $2.2 million or 2.3%. The increase of cost
of revenues was mainly due to the significant increase in the sales of
cylindrical cells to customers in the laptop market over the six months ended
March 31, 2009.




As a
result, gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2009, was $13.6 million
or 12.5% of net revenues as compared to gross profit of $11.0 million or 10.6%
of net revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2008. The increase in
gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was mainly due to a significant
increase in the sales of cylindrical cells to customers in the laptop market,
and an increase in our average selling price, which together generated a higher
gross margin, during the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Research and
Development Costs.  Research and development costs decreased to $2.5
million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $2.7 million for
the same period in fiscal year 2008, a decrease of $167,000 or 6.2%, due to
a number of decreases in R&D-related costs over the six months ended March
31, 2009. Share-based compensation included in R&D costs decreased by
$257,000 due to amortization of stock option grants to employees in our R&D
department. Depreciation charges decreased by $32,000 and research materials
charges decreased by $108,000, mainly due to the reduction in work hours during
the six months ended March 31, 2009. Salaries related to R&D staff increased
by $163,000, primarily due to additional compensation charges from severance
packages relating to reduction of headcount.





Sales and
Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to
$2,754,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $2,751,000
for the same period in fiscal year 2008, a slight increase of $3,000 or
0.1%. Share-based compensation included in sales and marketing expenses
decreased by $110,000 due to amortization of stock option grants to employees in
our sales department. As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing
expenses have decreased to 2.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2009, from
2.6% for the same period in fiscal year 2008, due to slightly increased
revenues from sales.




General and
Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses
increased to $10.9 million, or 10.0% of revenues, for the six months ended March
31, 2009, as compared to $9.1 million, or 8.7% of revenues, for the same period
in fiscal year 2008, an increase of $1.8 million or 20.0%.Share-based
compensation included in general and marketing expenses increased by $343,000
due to amortization of stock option grants to employees in our general
administration department. Bad debt expenses increased by $1.9 million due to
the provision charged in line with increased sales after we had assessed the
collection of accounts receivables from customers during the six months ended
March 31, 2009. We recognized exchange loss of $755,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 2009, compared with $771,000 for the same period in fiscal
year 2008.





During
the six months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred liability for liquidated
damages to a shareholder whose shares were required to be included in an
effective resale registration statement on Form S-3 by a certain date pursuant
to a registration rights agreement that we entered into with this shareholder
and certain other investors in relation to a private placement that we closed in
November 2007. The SEC did not declare this registration statement effective by
the necessary date, and we therefore became liable for liquidated damages to
this shareholder and the other investors in this offering, as disclosed in our
previous reports.  As of March 31, 2009, we believe that we were not
liable for any liquidated damages relating to the November 2007 registration
rights agreement.  The above-referenced shareholder waived any claim
to liquidated damages during the fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2008.  The other investors who had been party to the November 2007
registration rights agreement, or affiliates under their control, had received
shares of our common stock in a subsequent offering at prices that had been
discounted by the full amounts that were owed to them. Please see Part II, Item
1. “Legal Proceedings — Liquidated Damages Pursuant to November 2007
Registration Rights Agreement” for a further description of these liquidated
damages. We therefore did not recognize in general and administrative expenses
any amount for liquidated damages for the six months ended March 31, 2009,
whereas we recognized liquidated damages of $293,475 as of March 31, 2008 with
respect to the investors in the November 2007 private placement.





Operating
Loss.  As a result of the above, operating loss totaled $2.6 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to operating loss of $3.5
million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $945,000 or
27.0%.




Finance Costs,
Net.  Finance costs, net, increased to $5.2 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $4.6 million for the same period of
the prior fiscal year, an increase of $562,000 or 12.1%.We have $117.1 million
in short-term bank loans maturing in less than one year, $16.1 million in
long-term bank loans maturing within one year, and $39.5 million in other
long-term bank loans maturing in more than one year, outstanding as of March 31,
2009, as compared to $116.8 million in short-term bank loans maturing in less
than one year, $8.5 million in long-term bank loans maturing within one year,
and $31.3 million in other long-term bank loans maturing in more than one year,
outstanding as of March 31, 2008. The increase in net finance costs is mainly
attributable to a decrease in the average bank loan interest rates on both our
short-term and long-term bank loans during the six months ended March 31, 2009
and the increase in the outstanding principal amounts of both our short-term and
long-term bank loans.

Government Grant
Income / Other Income / (Other Expenses).  Government grant income
was $171,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to government
grant income of $1.0 million for the same period of fiscal year 2008.
Government grant income for the six months ended March 31, 2009 mainly consisted
of government grant funds which subsidized our interest expenses in prior years
for research and development activities and to refund the value-added tax paid
by Shenzhen BAK in prior years in light of Shenzhen BAK’s qualification as a new
and high-technology enterprise. Government grant income for the six months ended
March 31, 2008 mainly consisted of government grant funds which subsidized our
interest expenses incurred in prior years for research and development
activities and to refund the value-added tax paid by Shenzhen BAK in prior years
in light of Shenzhen BAK’s qualification as a new and high-technology
enterprise. No present or future obligation will arise from the receipt of such
income.




Income Tax
Expenses / (Benefit).  Income tax expenses were $35,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to income tax benefit of $20,000 for
the same period of fiscal year 2008. The change was the result of deferred
tax provision during the six months ended March 31, 2009.





Net
Loss. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $7.5
million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $7.1 million for
the same period in 2008.




Liquidity
and Capital Resources





We have
historically financed our liquidity requirements from a variety of sources,
including equity financings through the sale of our stock, short-term bank
loans, long-term bank loans and bills payable under bank credit agreements, and
sale of bills receivable.  As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $25.4 million, as compared to $35.7 million as of September 30,
2008.  In addition, we had pledged deposits amounting to $11.9 million
and $4.4 million as of March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008,
respectively.  Typically, our banks require their borrowers to
maintain deposits of approximately 20% to 100% of the outstanding loan balances
and bills payable.  The individual bank loans have maturities ranging
from one to twelve months which coincides with the periods the cash remains
pledged to the banks.





We had
access to $202.7 million in short-term credit facilities and $55.6 million in
long-term credit facilities as of March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the
principal outstanding amounts under our credit facilities included short-term
bank loans of $117.1 million, long-term bank loans of $16.1 million maturing

2009.  We repaid this loan on its maturity date. As of March 31, 2009,
we had no outstanding loans under this facility.





On March
4, 2009, we renewed our credit facility agreement with Bank of China to provide
a maximum loan amount of RMB 450 million (approximately $66.0 million). This
credit facility was guaranteed by BAK International and Mr. Xiangqian Li, and is
also secured by machinery and equipment with carrying values of approximately
$35.8 million as of March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we had borrowed
$22.0 million under two loans carrying annual interest of 5.31% and $1.0
million of notes payable under this credit facility agreement. The first loan,
of approximately $14.6 million, is repayable on March 13, 2010. The second loan,
of approximately $7.4 million, matures on March 30, 2010.


13


On
December 26, 2006, we entered into a four-year long-term loan agreement of RMB
100 million (approximately $14.6 million) with Shenzhen Branch, China
Development Bank, or China Development Bank. The long-term loan is or was
repayable in three installments as follows: RMB 30 million (approximately $4.4
million) on November 20, 2008, which has been repaid; RMB 30 million
(approximately $4.4 million) on November 20, 2009; and RMB 40 million
(approximately $5.9 million) on December 26, 2010.  The long-term loan
carries an annual interest rate of 5.76%.  The long-term loan is
secured by Shenzhen BAK’s pledge of its new Research and Development Test
Centre, which is to be constructed in Shenzhen, China.  We have
committed to pledge the property ownership and land use rights certificates
relating to this property as security after the requisite government approval is
obtained, pursuant to the loan agreement.  According to the property
ownership and land use rights certificate that we obtained in relation to this
facility, such land may not be pledged without the approval of the relevant
government office.  As of March 31, 2009, we had not obtained the
requisite approval, and were in the process of negotiating with the relevant
government bureau for such approval.  For further discussion regarding
the status of property ownership rights relating to this facility, please see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations – Capital Expenditures”.  The obligations of Shenzhen BAK
under the loan agreement are guaranteed by Mr. Xiangqian Li.  We had
borrowed $10.2 million under this loan agreement as of March 31,
2009.





We had
negative working capital of $38.0 million as of March 31, 2009, as compared to
working capital of $3.2 million as of September 30, 2008, an increase in
negative working capital of $34.8 million. This increase was primarily
attributable to longer credit terms we obtained from our suppliers and an
increase in short-term bank loans and long-term bank loans maturing within one
year.  We had short-term bank loans maturing in less than one year of
$117.1 million and long-term bank loans maturing within one year of $16.1million
as of March 31, 2009, or a total of $133.2 million of loans maturing within one
year, as compared to a total of $114.4 million of such loans as of September 30,
2008, an increase of $18.8 million.  We had long-term bank loans
maturing in over one year of $39.5 million as of March 31, 2009, as
compared to $55.7 million of such loans as of September 30, 2008, a decrease of
$16.2 million.




We
believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, access to capital through
our bank loans, and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital
and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may, however,
require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future
developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.
If our existing cash and amount available under existing credit facilities is
insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity
securities, debt securities or borrow from lending institutions. We can make no
assurances that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including
convertible debt securities, would dilute the interests of our current
stockholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and
capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating
and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or
debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may
suffer.





Capital
Expenditures





We made
capital expenditures of $33.0 million and $16.3 million in the six months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our capital expenditures were used
primarily to purchase plant and equipment to expand our production capacity and
construction of new factories in Tianjin, China.





The
following table sets forth the breakdown of our capital expenditures by use for
the periods indicated.

We
estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2009 will reach
approximately $41.1 million, primarily to purchase manufacturing equipment for
the expansion of our production lines and construction of new factories in
Tianjin, and for the construction of our new Research and Development Test
Centre at our Shenzhen facility.





We have
completed construction of and put into use facilities measuring 218,178 square
meters comprised of manufacturing facilities, warehousing and packaging
facilities, dormitory space, dining halls and administrative offices at the BAK
Industrial Park facility in Shenzhen. Of that space, approximately 120,000
square meters are manufacturing facilities.





We have
also completed the construction of and put into use 17,867 square meters of
manufacturing facilities in Tianjin.  We are currently constructing
39,996 square meters of manufacturing and related facilities in Tianjin. Our
Tianjin plant houses our lithium-phosphate battery cell research and production
facilities. The primary reasons for our continuing investments in the facilities
in Tianjin are to realize the benefits of our prior investment in these
facilities, to position the Company to capitalize on our knowledge of and
experience with established markets for lithium-phosphate technology, such as
electric bicycles, cordless power tools and mining lamps, and to penetrate
emerging consuming markets for this technology, such as light electric vehicles
and hybrid electric vehicles. The first trial shipment of its lithium-phosphate
cells was used in electric bicycles, cordless power tools, uninterruptible power
supplies and mining lamps. We expect interest in light electric vehicles and
hybrid electric vehicles to increase demand for our rechargeable lithium-based
batteries substantially. We have been engaged in the research and development of
lithium-phosphate cells specifically for use in light electric vehicles and
hybrid electric vehicles. As indicated above, our Tianjin facility is the nexus
for all such research and development.





At
present, we have no significant payment obligations related to either our BAK
Industrial Park or Tianjin facilities.





According
to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, a land use rights certificate, along
with government approvals for land planning, project planning, and construction
must be obtained before the construction of any building is
commenced.  A property ownership certificate will be granted by the
government upon application under the condition that the land use rights
certificate and requisite government approvals are obtained.  We
recently obtained the land use rights certificate to the tract of property on
which we have constructed and on which we plan further construction of our
manufacturing facilities and other related facilities at BAK Industrial Park in
Shenzhen, China.  While we have been constructing and have completed a
substantial part of the construction of our facilities with the approval of the
local government of Kuichong Township of Longgang District of Shenzhen, we
understand it did not have the authority to grant us the land use rights
certificate.  However, the Company obtained approval for project
planning and construction from the government of Shenzhen on June 20, 2007.
Under an agreement with the government of Shenzhen for the acquisition of the
land use rights to BAK Industrial Park dated June 29, 2007, effective June 2008,
the government agreed to provide us with the land use rights certificate
relating to BAK Industrial Park on the condition that the Company would pay it
an additional $11,819,841.  According to a notice received from the
government of Shenzhen on June 6, 2008, the Company obtained government grants
totaling $7,889,991 to subsidize this additional payment.  As of March
31, 2009, the Company had fully paid the remaining cost of $3,929,850 and had
obtained the land use rights certificate for BAK Industrial Park.





As we
have been granted the land use rights certificate to the premises presently
occupied by the Company in BAK Industrial Park, there should be no legal
barriers for us to obtain a property ownership certificate for this
property.  However, it is possible that the Shenzhen government may
determine that even with our land use rights certificate, the buildings
constructed at BAK Industrial Park were still constructed without the proper
authority and must be vacated as illegitimate constructions, and we might be
subject to penalties and fines.  However, we believe that this
possibility, while present, is remote.





On
December 15, 2008, we purchased insurance for our manufacturing facilities at
BAK Industrial Park in Shenzhen, China. Under the insurance policy entered into
with Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Company of China, Ltd, the
insured amount for our manufacturing facilities at BAK Industrial Park is RMB
585,373,070 (approximately $85.8 million) for the period from November 26, 2008
to August 25, 2010.





We may
not insure our manufacturing facilities in Tianjin or our new Research and
Development Test Centre to be constructed in Shenzhen, China, until we obtain
the required property ownership and land use rights
certificates.  Upon receipt of such certificates, we intend to procure
such insurance.  As discussed below, we have obtained the land use
rights to the land relating to these facilities.  The application for
a property ownership certificate is in process with respect to our facilities at
Tianjin (see discussion regarding our Research and Development Test Centre
below).


15


As of
March 31, 2009, we had fully paid the lease prepayment amount of $14.1 million
for the acquisition of land use rights regarding our facility in Tianjin,
China.  As of March 31, 2009, we had obtained the relevant land use
rights certificate to this facility, and were in the process of obtaining the
relevant property ownership certificate to this facility. Pursuant to our land
use rights certificate relating to our Tianjin facility, the Tianjin government
had requested that we complete construction of the Tianjin facility before
September 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, we had not done so, and were in the
process of negotiating with the relevant government bureau for the extension of
the completion date.





As of
March 31, 2009, we had paid the lease prepayment amount of $1.2 million for the
acquisition of land use rights for a new Research and Development Test Centre to
be constructed in Shenzhen, China.  As of March 31, 2009, we had
obtained a land use rights certificate relating to this
facility.  Pursuant to the land use rights certificate, we are
required to complete at least 25% of the construction of the new Research and
Development Test Centre facility by September 30, 2008.  As of March
31, 2009, we had not done so, and were in the process of negotiating with the
relevant government bureau for the extension of the completion date. In
addition, according to the land use rights certificate, such rights may not be
pledged without the approval of the relevant government office.  We
are required to pledge our property ownership and land use rights certificates
in relation to the new Research and Development Test Centre to China Development
Bank pursuant to the loan agreement entered into with it.  As of March
31, 2009, we were in the process of negotiating with the relevant government
bureau for the requisite approval. In addition, the so-named “property ownership
and land use rights certificate” that we were issued relating to this facility
lacks certain terms relating to property ownership rights, which appears to
indicate that the granting government has so far only granted us the relevant
land use rights.  As a result, this certificate may not be adequate
evidence of our property ownership rights to this property. We anticipate that
the government will grant us a certificate with adequate property ownership
indicia after we have satisfied the above construction requirement and followed
certain procedures.




Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments





Please
refer to Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations and Commercial
Commitments” in the 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual
obligations and commercial commitments
as of September 30, 2008.  There were no material
changes outside the ordinary course of our business in our contractual
obligations and commercial commitments for the quarter ended March 31,
2009.





Off-Balance
Sheet Transactions





In the
ordinary course of business practices in China, we enter into transactions with
banks or other lenders where we guarantee the debt of other parties. These
parties may be related to or unrelated to us.  Conversely, our debt
with lenders may also be guaranteed by other parties which may be related or
unrelated to us.





Under
U.S. GAAP, these transactions may not be recorded on our balance sheet or may be
recorded in amounts different than the full contract or notional amount of the
transaction.  Our primary off-balance sheet arrangements would result
from our loan guaranties in which Shenzhen BAK, BAK International, BAK Tianjin,
and/or Mr. Xiangqian Li, our director, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive
Officer, would provide contractual assurance of the debt, or guarantee the
timely re-payment of principal and interest of the guaranteed
party.  Neither Shenzhen BAK, BAK International, BAK Tianjin, nor Mr.
Xiangqian Li received, nor is entitled to receive, any consideration for the
above-referenced guarantees, and we are not independently obligated to indemnify
any of those guarantors for any amounts paid by them pursuant to any
guarantee.





Typically,
no fees are received for this service. Thus, in those transactions, Shenzhen
BAK, BAK International, BAK Tianjin, or Mr. Xiangqian Li, as applicable, would
have a contingent obligation related to the guarantee of payment in the event
the underlying loan is in default.


16





Transactions
described above require accounting treatment under Financial Accounting
Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others”. Under that standard, we would be required to recognize
the fair value of guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, for
non-contingent guarantee obligations, and also a liability for contingent
guarantee obligations based on the probability that the guaranteed party will
not perform under the contractual terms of the guaranty agreement.





We have
assessed the contingent liabilities arising from the above-described guarantees
and have considered them immaterial to the consolidated financial
statements.  Therefore, no liabilities in respect of the guarantees
were recognized as of March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we provided a
guarantee for a non-related party, Nanjing Special Metal Equipment Co., Ltd., of
one-year short-term bank loans with Evergrowing Bank with a maturity of August
6, 2010.  We also provided the guarantees for four other non-related
parties, Hunan Reshine New Material Ltd, Shenzhen Tongli Hi-tech Co. Ltd.,
Shenzhen B&G Technology Development Co. Ltd., and Siping Juyuan Hanyang
Plate Heat Exchanger Co. Ltd.  The maximum amount of our exposure for
these guarantees was $16.8 million both at March 31, 2009 and September 30,
2008.





Critical
Accounting Policies





Our
consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
(1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of
our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3)
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal
period.  We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own
historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other
conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information
and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments
about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Since
the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting
process, our actual results could differ from those estimates.  Some
of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in
their application.





When
reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1)
our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other
uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the
sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and
assumptions.  We believe the following accounting policies involve the
most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements.





Recoverability
of Long-Lived Assets





Our
business is capital intensive and has required, and will continue to require,
significant investments in property, plant and equipment.  As of March
31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment, net was $215.1 million and $195.4 million,
respectively.  We assess the recoverability of property, plant and
equipment to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
or group of assets to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset or group of assets.  If such assets are
considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets.





A
prolonged general economic downturn and, specifically, a continued downturn in
the battery cell industry as well as other market factors could intensify
competitive pricing pressure, create an imbalance of industry supply and demand,
or otherwise diminish volumes or profits.  Such events, combined with
changes in interest rates, could adversely affect our estimates of future net
cash flows to be generated by our long-lived assets.  Consequently, it
is possible that our future operating results could be materially and adversely
affected by additional impairment charges related to the recoverability of our
long-lived assets.





Inventory
Obsolescence





We review
our inventory for potential impairment on a quarterly or more frequent basis as
deemed necessary.  Such review includes, but is not limited to,
reviewing the levels of inventory versus customer requirements and
obsolescence.  The review and evaluation also considers the potential
sale of impaired inventory at lower than market prices.  At each
balance sheet date, we identify inventories that are worth less than cost and
write them down to their net realizable value and the difference is charged to
our cost of revenues of that period.  Though management considers such
write-down of inventories adequate and proper, changes in sales volumes due to
unexpected economic or competitive conditions are among the factors that could
materially affect the adequacy of such write-down.


17





Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts





The
allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in our accounts receivable.  We determine the allowance
based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic
conditions.  Bad debt expense is included in general and
administrative expenses.  We review outstanding account balances
individually for collectability.  Account balances are charged off
against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote.  As of March 31, 2009 and
September 30, 2008, we had not charged off any balances as we had yet to exhaust
all means of collection.





Stock-Based
Compensation





We
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 123 (Revised 2004),
“Share-Based Payment”,
or SFAS 123R, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for
share-based compensation.  Under the fair value-based method, compensation
cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments is measured
at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the
service period, which is usually the vesting period.  SFAS 123R also
requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its
current fair value.  The fair value of the liability-classified award
will be subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement
date.  Change in fair value during the requisite service period will
be recognized as compensation cost over that period.





We
determine fair value using the Black-Scholes model.  Under this model,
certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of
the options and the estimated fair value of our shares of common stock and the
expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the
options.  If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of
the options would have been different from the amount we computed and recorded,
which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation
expense.





Pursuant
to SFAS 123R, we have recognized compensation costs of $1.5 million in relation
to stock-based awards to our employees and non-employee directors in the six
months ended March 31, 2009, as an increase in both the operating costs and
shareholder’s equity.





Changes
in Accounting Standards





In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, or SFAS
No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, where
fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.  The standard does
not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to
our financial statements starting in our fiscal year beginning October 1,
2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 has no material impact on our
financial statements.





In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115,” or SFAS No. 159.  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value.  Entities that elect the fair value option will report
unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date.  The fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions.  SFAS No. 159
also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for
similar assets and liabilities.  The requirements of SFAS No. 159
apply to our financial statements starting in our fiscal year beginning October
1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has no material impact on our
financial statements.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51,” or SFAS No.
160.  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary.  The guidance will apply to our financial statements
starting in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Our management is in the
process of evaluating the impact SFAS No. 160 will have on our financial
statements upon adoption.


18





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations,”
or SFAS No. 141.  SFAS No. 141 establishes principles and requirements
for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance
for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination
and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination.  The guidance will apply to us starting in our fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2009.  Our management is in the process of
evaluating the impact SFAS No. 141 will have on our financial statements upon
adoption.





In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS
No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement
13”, or FSP FAS 157-1. FSP FAS 157-1 provides a scope exception from SFAS
No. 157 for the evaluation criteria on lease classification and capital
lease measurement under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and other
related accounting pronouncements. We adopted FSP FAS 157-1 effective
October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will not be applied
to lease transactions under SFAS 13 except when applying SFAS No. 157 to
business combinations recorded by us.





In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157,” or “FSP FAS 157-2,” which delays the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for
certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. FSP FAS 157-2 will
become effective for us on October 1, 2009.  We are in the
process of evaluating the impact of applying FSP FAS 157-2 to nonfinancial
assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. Examples of items to
which the deferral would apply include, but are not limited to:





-
            nonfinancial
      assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are measured at fair value in a
      business combination or other new basis event, except those that are
      remeasured at fair value in subsequent
periods;


-
            reporting
      units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment
      test as described in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
      Assets,” or “SFAS No.142,” and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
      liabilities measured at fair value in the SFAS No. 142 goodwill
      impairment test, if applicable; and


-
            nonfinancial
      liabilities for exit or disposal activities initially measured at fair
      value under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
      or Disposal Activities”.





As a
result of the issuance of FSP FAS 157-2, we have not applied the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within
the scope of FSP FAS 157-2 in the fiscal year ending September 30,
2009.





In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities,” or SFAS 161.  SFAS 161 is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows.  It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged.  SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material
impact on our financial statements.





In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” or “FSP FAS 142-3”. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142.  FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between
the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS
141 and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 which means that it will be effective for our
fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. We are
currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 on our
financial statements.





In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, or FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment
guidance in SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities,” for debt securities and the presentation and disclosure
requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities
in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We are
currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2
on our financial statements.

Exchange
Rates





The
financial records of Shenzhen BAK, BAK Electronics and BAK Tianjin are
maintained in RMB.  In order to prepare our financial statements, we
have translated amounts in RMB into amounts in U.S. dollars.  The
amounts of our assets and liabilities on our balance sheets are translated using
the closing exchange rate as of the date of the balance
sheet.  Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the
average exchange rate prevailing during the period covered by such financial
statements.  Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are
included in our cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in our
stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.  All other amounts
that were originally booked in RMB and translated into U.S. dollars were
translated using the closing exchange rate on the date of
recognition.  Consequently, the exchange rates at which the amounts in
those comparisons were computed varied from year to year.




The
exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars in connection
with the preparation of our financial statements were as follows:

RMB is
not readily convertible into U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange
markets.  The foreign exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S.
dollar had been stable at approximately RMB 8.28 to $1.00 for the last few
years. On July 21, 2005, the Central Bank of China announced that it would allow
the RMB to move to a flexible exchange rate with a maximum daily variance
against the U.S. dollar of 0.3%.  No provision has been made in the
accompanying financial statements for the change in currency policy, nor has any
determination been made as to the potential impact this may have on our future
operations.  As a result, the stated exchange rates may not accurately
reflect the amount in U.S. dollars into which RMB could be actually converted at
the date or during the periods reflected in the foregoing table.





Item
      3.
            Quantitative
      and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.





Interest
Rate Risk





We are
exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank
loans and long-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on
the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans are fixed for the
terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for
short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.
There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans
renewed during the three months ended March 31, 2009.





Please
refer to Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Activities”
for a discussion of our credit facilities and loan agreements.





A
hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit
facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2009, would
decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately
$1.7 million or 23.3% for the six months ended March 31,
2009.  Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with
our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances
relative to other sources of funds.  We have not entered into any
hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate
risk.


20





Foreign
Exchange Risk





Although
our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, the financial records of our
operating subsidiaries are maintained in their local currency, the RMB, which is
our functional currency.  Approximately 34.5% of our revenues and
97.3% of our costs and expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2009 are
denominated in RMB, with the balance denominated in U.S.
dollars.  Approximately 98.7% of our assets except for cash were
denominated in RMB as of March 31, 2009.  As a result, we are exposed
to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be
affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and
RMB.  If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our
RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial
statements will decline.  Assets and liabilities of our operating
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the
balance sheet date, their equity accounts are translated at historical exchange
rates, and their income and expenses items are translated using the average rate
for the period.  Any resulting exchange differences are recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.  An average
appreciation (depreciation) of the RMB against the U.S. dollar of 5% would
increase (decrease) our comprehensive income by $98,000 based on our outstanding
revenues, costs and expenses, assets, and liabilities denominated in RMB as of
March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, our accumulated other comprehensive income
was $25.0 million.  We have not entered into any hedging transactions
in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.




Inflation
Risk




Inflationary
factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs may
adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that
inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse
effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling and
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the
selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased
costs.




Item
      4.
            Controls
      and Procedures.





Disclosure
Controls and Procedures





As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out
an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,
2009.  Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply
its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and
procedures.





Management
conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the
supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer.  Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective, because of the material weaknesses
described in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of the 2008 Form 10-K, which we
are still in the process of remediating.  Investors are directed to
Item 9A of the 2008 Form 10-K for the description of these
weaknesses.





Remediation
Measures for Material Weaknesses





We are
continuing to remediate the material weaknesses described in our 2008 Form 10-K
and implemented the new measures described below in our ongoing efforts to
address these internal control deficiencies.


21





We
further developed policies and procedures governing the hiring and training of
personnel to better assure sufficient personnel with the requisite knowledge,
experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting
principles commensurate with our financial reporting and U.S. GAAP
requirements.  We utilized qualified accounting advisors and
supervisors to ensure that our staff has adequate professional knowledge and
monitored the need for additional or better-qualified staff.  In
addition, we utilized appropriate training programs on accounting principles and
procedures to better ensure the adequacy of our accounting and finance
personnel.





We
continued to develop our corporate culture toward emphasizing the importance of
internal controls and to ensure that all personnel involved in maintaining
proper internal controls recognize the importance of strictly adhering to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.





We
continued to provide additional training to the Company’s internal auditor on
appropriate controls and procedures necessary to document and evaluate our
internal control procedures.  In addition, one of our employees has
assumed the full-time position of Director of Internal Audit, and has been, and
will continue to be, responsible for compliance with internal
controls.





We
further enhanced the self-assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting by increasing our periodic independent testing, which would evaluate
the adequacy of the design and effectiveness of our internal control
procedures.





We also
implemented procedures to maintain effective control over the accounting
for construction in progress assets and the determination of depreciation
expense when the assets are ready for their intended use, including the
following:





·
            We
      provided additional training to finance managers to review any applicable
      accounting entry and time of
transfer;





·
            We
      further trained our finance department to transfer construction in
      progress to cost of property, plant and equipment when it is ready for its
      intended use, at which time depreciation charges shall commence thereon.
      The criteria used to determine when an asset is ready for intended use are
      based on policies that are consistent with U.S.
  GAAP.





We
believe that we are taking the steps necessary for remediation of the remaining
material weaknesses identified above, and we will continue to monitor the
effectiveness of these steps and to make any changes that our management deems
appropriate.





Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Other
than the remediation measures described above, there were no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting after March 31, 2009 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting.

      1.
            Legal
      Proceedings.





Patent
Litigation





On
September 12, 2006, Hydro-Quebec, a Canadian company, and the Board of Regents
of the University of Texas System brought a federal patent infringement suit in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against
us.  We had an agreement with A123Systems, Inc., or A123Systems,
which, as amended on August 18, 2005, terminated in accordance with its terms on
August 30, 2007, under which we had agreed to manufacture products for
A123Systems according to the specifications furnished by, and using the finished
electrodes and other materials consigned by, A123Systems to us.  The
plaintiffs alleged that, by manufacturing rechargeable lithium cells for
A123Systems for use in DeWalt 36-volt cordless power tools manufactured by Black
& Decker Corporation, we had infringed two U.S. patents owned by and
exclusively licensed to the plaintiffs.  The plaintiffs seek
injunctive relief and damages in an unspecified amount.  If the court
issues an adverse decision, we may be required to pay the plaintiffs substantial
monetary damages, and we may be prohibited from future production of
rechargeable lithium cells manufactured for A123Systems or be required to pay
royalties to engage in any such production.  The court has not yet
issued a decision on this matter and we are unable to quantify the extent of any
possible award of damages that might become payable by us.

Liquidated Damages Pursuant to
September 2005 Registration Rights Agreement





We are
liable for liquidated damages to certain shareholders whose shares were included
in a resale registration statement on Form SB-2 that we filed pursuant to a
registration rights agreement that we entered into with such shareholders in
September 2005. Under the registration rights agreement, among other things, (a)
if a registration statement filed pursuant thereto ceases to be effective after
its effective date to cover the resale of the shares for more than 30 trading
days or (b) if for any reason we are required to file an additional registration
statement covering such shares, and we do not file such additional registration
statement within 45 days after the time we first know, or reasonably should have
known, that such registration statement would be required to be filed, then,
while the relevant shares could not be put back to us, we would be liable to pay
partial liquidated damages to those selling shareholders equal to 1.0% of the
aggregate investment amount paid by those selling shareholders for the shares,
and on each monthly anniversary thereafter, unless the event is cured by such
date, an additional 1.5% on (except with respect to the first such event) a
daily pro-rata basis.





On August
15, 2006, the SEC declared effective a post-effective amendment we filed on
August 4, 2006 to terminate the effectiveness of the resale registration
statement on Form SB-2 that included the resale of the shares held by those
selling shareholders.  Accordingly, as we were no longer eligible to
file on Form SB-2, we were required to file an additional registration statement
within 45 days after the termination of the effectiveness of the Form SB-2. On
October 11, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 that covers
resale of the shares held by those shareholders, which was declared to be
effective on October 19, 2006.  Following the termination of the Form
SB-2, our failure to file an additional registration statement within the period
provided under the registration rights agreement triggered, for the first time,
an obligation to pay liquidated damages to the selling shareholders of 1% of the
aggregate investment amount paid by them for the shares, or $241,232, based on
the formula specified in the registration rights agreement.  Because
the Form S-1 was filed by the one-month anniversary of the applicable filing
date, the event was cured and no additional liquidated damages were incurred. We
previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006, or the 2006 Form 10-K, and in our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, or the 12/31/06 Form 10-Q, that
liquidated damages totaling $487,946 were due from us in respect of such event
based on an incorrect interpretation of the liquidated damages due under the
registration rights agreement.  Among other things, the amount was
calculated on a pro rata daily basis although the event, the first under the
registration rights agreement, was cured by its one-month anniversary
date.





In
addition, on December 8, 2006, we filed our 2006 Form 10-K. After the filing of
the 2006 Form 10-K, our previously filed registration statement on Form S-1 was
no longer available for resale by the selling shareholders whose shares were
included in such Form S-1.  A post-effective amendment to the Form S-1
covering resale by the selling shareholders was declared effective by the SEC on
March 23, 2007.  Our failure to have the post-effective amendment
declared effective within the 30-trading-day time period provided under the
registration rights agreement (i.e., by January 25, 2007), triggered, for the
second time, an obligation to pay liquidated damages to the selling
shareholders. We estimate that we are liable to those selling shareholders for
liquidated damages related to this second event in the amount of approximately
$810,000, such that the total current estimated liquidated damages relating to
both events amounts to approximately $1 million.





As
reported in our 2006 Form 10-K and our 12/31/06 Form 10-Q, we previously
recorded charges in our statement of income and comprehensive income of $290,575
for the year ended September 30, 2006, and $197,371 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2006, based on the original incorrect interpretation of the
calculation of liquidated damages.  Accordingly, the amounts recorded
in excess of $241,232 (i.e., $246,714) have been applied to offset the charge
related to the liquidated damages incurred related to the second event in the
second fiscal quarter of 2007, and we have recorded an additional charge in the
second fiscal quarter of 2007 relating to the additional liquidated damages
incurred of $563,000.  We have assessed the impact of the foregoing on
the financial statements included in our 2006 Form 10-K and our 12/31/06 Form
10-Q, and have determined that the impact is not material. Accordingly, we do
not intend to restate the financial information included in the 2006 Form 10-K
or the 12/31/06 Form 10-Q; however, future filings will reflect the foregoing
information.  No liquidated damages have been paid pursuant to the
registration rights agreement that we entered into in September 2005 as of the
filing date of this Report.


23





Liquidated Damages Pursuant to
November 2007 Registration Rights Agreement





During
the six months ended March 31, 2009, we were initially liable for liquidated
damages to a shareholder whose shares were required to be included in a resale
registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed pursuant to a registration
rights agreement that we entered into with this shareholder and certain other
investors in November 2007. Under the registration rights agreement, among other
things, if a registration statement filed pursuant thereto has not been declared
effective by the SEC by the 100th calendar day after the closing of our private
placement on November 9, 2007, or the Effectiveness Deadline, then we would be
liable to pay partial liquidated damages to each investor of (a) 1.5% of the
aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the shares it purchased in
our November 2007 private placement on the one-month anniversary of the
Effectiveness Deadline; (b) an additional 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price
paid by such investor every thirtieth day thereafter (prorated for periods
totaling less than thirty days) until the earliest of the effectiveness of the
registration statement, the ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline,
and the time that we are no longer required to keep such resale registration
statement effective because either the investors have sold all of their shares
or the investors may sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume
limitations; and (c) 0.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each investor
for the shares it purchased in our November 2007 private placement on the
ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline and every thirtieth day
thereafter (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days), until the
earlier of the effectiveness of the registration statement and the time that we
are no longer required to keep such resale registration statement effective
because either the investors have sold all of their shares or the investors may
sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume
limitations.  Such liquidated damages would bear interest at the rate
of 1% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.





On
December 21, 2007, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we filed a
registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on
May 7, 2008.  The lateness of this filing triggered liquidated damages
consistent with the formula described above.  On August 26, 2008, we
conducted a registered direct offering of 4,102,564 shares of common stock, at
an offering price of $3.90 per share, in which the investors also received
warrants to purchase up to 4,102,564 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $3.90 per share.  With one exception, all of the investors that
participated in our November 2007 private placement, or persons controlling
them, participated in our August 2008 registered direct offering.  We
reduced each of these investors’ (or each such investor’s participating
affiliate’s) purchase price by an amount that was at least equal to the amount
that we determined that we were liable for as liquidated damages to such
investor (or its participating affiliate).  As of Mach 31, 2009, the
remaining investor had waived any and all rights relating to liquidated damages
pursuant to the November 2007 registration rights agreement.





Make-Good
Settlements





Beginning
on March 13, 2008, we have entered into settlement agreements with certain
investors in the January 20, 2005, private placement completed by the Company.
Pursuant to the settlement agreements, we and such investors have agreed,
without any admission of liability, to a settlement and mutual releases from all
claims relating to the January 20, 2005 private placement, including all claims
relating to 1,089,775 “make good shares” of our common stock that had been
placed into escrow by Xiangqian Li, our chairman and chief executive officer, in
connection with the January 20, 2005, private placement, as well as all claims,
including claims for liquidated damages, relating to registration rights granted
in connection with the January 20, 2005, private placement. Pursuant to the
settlement agreements, we have made settlement payments to each of the settling
investors of a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of
“make good shares” such investor had claimed. Aggregate settlement payments
amounted to 368,745 shares as of March 31, 2009, all of which were issued in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Share payments to date have been made in
reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) and/or
other applicable provisions of the Securities Act. In accordance with the
settlement agreements, we filed a registration statement covering the resale of
such shares, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 26,
2008.





In
accordance with the Delivery of Make Good Shares, Settlement and Release
Agreement entered into with Mr. Xiangqian Li on October 22, 2007, we may
continue to negotiate with the investors who participated in the January 20,
2005, private placement in order to achieve a complete settlement of our
obligations under the applicable agreements with such investors.

On
January 6, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Agricultural Bank of
China – Shenzhen Branch pursuant to our existing comprehensive credit facility
agreement to borrow approximately $11.0 million at a floating interest rate
equal to the PBOC’s benchmark rate on the date of the agreement and adjusted
quarterly, and maturing on January 5, 2010.  The agreement provides
for penalty interest in the event of any delay in repayment or misuse of loan
funds.  Copies of summaries of the comprehensive credit facility

China Everbright Bank to provide a maximum loan amount of RMB 100 million
(approximately $14.7 million).  Loans may be drawn at any time from
March 30, 2009 to March 30, 2010.  The interest rate of any loan drawn
under this facility will be determined on a loan-by-loan basis.  In
the event that we breach this credit facility agreement, China Everbright Bank
may accelerate the repayment of any outstanding loan.  As of March 31,
2009, we had no outstanding loans under this facility.   A copy
of a summary of the comprehensive credit facility agreement is included as
Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and is hereby incorporated by reference

On
February 13, 2009, we renewed our comprehensive credit facility agreement with
China CITIC Bank to provide a maximum loan amount of RMB 150 million
(approximately $22.0 million).  Loans may be drawn at any time from
February 13, 2009 to February 12, 2010.  This credit facility
agreement is guaranteed by BAK International and Mr. Xiangqian Li.  As
of March 31, 2009, we had borrowed $14.6 million under two loan agreements and
$2.6 million of notes payable under this credit facility totaling
approximately $17.2 million at the fixed annual interest rate of
5.31%.  We borrowed approximately $7.3 million under the first loan
agreement on February 25, 2009, which is repayable on February 25,
2010.  We borrowed approximately $7.3 million under the second loan
agreement on March 6, 2009, which is repayable on March 6,
2010.  Under the credit loan facility, China CITIC Bank’s remedies
include penalty interest and the call back of loan principal and interest before
maturity.  In addition, under each of the outstanding loan agreements,
China CITIC Bank may, in addition to exercising any other applicable remedies
under the applicable agreements, accelerate repayment of the loan amount if we
terminate or otherwise cease operations; provide documents containing untrue
statements or omitting material financial information regarding our operations;
intentionally evade bank debts by way of related-party transactions or any other
means; use loan proceeds other than as agreed without consent; or if any other
event occurs that creates a material risk of non-repayment of the
loan.  Copies of summaries of the comprehensive credit facility
agreement, loan agreements, and guaranties are included as Exhibits 10.4 through
10.8 to this Report and are hereby incorporated by reference
herein.





On March
4, 2009, we renewed our comprehensive credit facility agreement with Bank of
China to provide a maximum loan amount of RMB 450 million (approximately $66.0
million).  Loans may be drawn at any time from March 4, 2009 to
February 3, 2010. This credit facility agreement is guaranteed by BAK
International and Mr. Xiangqian Li, and is secured by Shenzhen BAK’s mortgage of
all of its machinery and equipment.  As of March 31, 2009, we had
borrowed $22.0 million under two loan certificates at the annual interest rate
of 5.31% and $1.0 million of notes payable under this credit facility agreement.
We borrowed approximately $7.4 million under the first loan agreement on March

principal and interest before maturity.  Copies of summaries of the
comprehensive credit facility agreement, loan certificates, mortgage contract,
and guaranties are included as Exhibits 10.9 through 10.14 to this Report and
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

On March
9, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Shenzhen Development Bank
pursuant to our existing comprehensive credit facility agreement to borrow
approximately $2.9 million at a floating interest rate equal to the PBOC’s
