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") high power rechargeable batteries. Prior to the disposal of BAK International Limited (“BAK International”) and its subsidiaries (see below), the batteries produced by the Company were 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 vehicles, and general industrial applications. After the disposal of BAK International and its subsidiaries on June 30, 2014, the Company focused on the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of high power lithium ion rechargeable batteries for use in cordless power tools, light electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, electric cars, electric busses, uninterruptable power supplies and other high power 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".

On November 6, 2004, BAK International, a non-operating holding company that had substantially the same shareholders as Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd (“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. 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.

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. 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.

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 1,720,087 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $17,000,000. In conjunction with this financing, Mr. Xiangqian Li, the former Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to place 435,910 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 $12,000,000, and the remaining 50% was 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 $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 435,910 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 accounting principles generally accepted 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.

While the 217,955 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. Xiangqian 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 217,955 escrow shares relating to the fiscal year 2006 performance threshold were released to the relevant investors. As Mr. Xiangqian 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 ordinary shares 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 $7,955,358 respectively, as set out in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

In November 2007, Mr. Xiangqian Li delivered the 217,955 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 entered into settlement agreements (the “2008 Settlement Agreements”) with certain investors in the January 2005 private placement. Since the other investors have never submitted any claims regarding this matter, the Company did not reach any settlement with them.

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 June 30, 2016 amounted to 73,749 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.

Pursuant to the Li Settlement Agreement, the 2008 Settlement Agreements and upon the release of the 217,955 escrow shares relating to the fiscal year 2006 performance threshold to the relevant investors, neither Mr. Xiangqian Li or the Company have any obligations to the investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement relating to the escrow shares.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had not received any claim from the other investors who have not been covered by the “2008 Settlement Agreements” in the January 2005 private placement.

As the Company has transferred the 217,955 shares related to the 2006 performance threshold to the relevant investors in fiscal year 2007 and the Company also has transferred 73,749 shares relating to the 2005 performance threshold to the investors who had entered the “2008 Settlement Agreements” with us in fiscal year 2008, pursuant to “Li Settlement Agreement” and “2008 Settlement Agreements”, neither Mr. Xiangqian Li nor the Company had any remaining obligations to those related investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement relating to the escrow shares.

On August 14, 2013, Dalian BAK Trading Co., Ltd (“Dalian BAK Trading”) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of China BAK Asia Holding Limited (“BAK Asia”) with a registered capital of $500,000 (Note 19(i)). Pursuant to Dalian BAK Trading’s articles of association and relevant PRC regulations, BAK Asia was required to contribute the capital to Dalian BAK Trading on or before August 14, 2015. Up to the date of this report, the Company has contributed $100,000 to Dalian BAK Trading in cash.

On December 27, 2013, Dalian BAK Power Battery Co., Ltd (“Dalian BAK Power”) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of BAK Asia with a registered capital of $30,000,000 (Note 19(i)). Pursuant to Dalian BAK Power’s articles of association and relevant PRC regulations, BAK Asia was required to contribute the capital to Dalian BAK Power on or before December 27, 2015. Up to the date of this report, the Company has contributed $20,504,004 to Dalian BAK Power through injection of a series of patents and cash of $15,504,004.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under US GAAP.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included. The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, which was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, though the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2015.

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 liability established in the PRC or Hong Kong. The accompanying condensed 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.

The equity interest held in BAK International and its wholly owned subsidiaries, namely Shenzhen BAK, BAK Battery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“BAK Battery”), BAK International (Tianjin) Ltd. (“BAK Tianjin”), Tianjin Chenhao Technological Development Limited (a subsidiary of BAK Tianjin established on May 8, 2014,“Tianjin Chenhao”), BAK Battery Canada Ltd. (“BAK Canada”), BAK Europe GmbH (“BAK Europe”) and BAK Telecom India Private Limited (“BAK India”) (collectively the “Disposal Group”) was disposed of effective on June 30, 2014 as a result of the foreclosure by Mr. Jinghui Wang (“Mr. Wang”), an unrelated third party, after Shenzhen BAK failed to repay the loans to Mr. Wang on March 31, 2014. The financial statements of these subsidiaries were consolidated up to the date of disposal.

After the disposal of BAK International Limited and its subsidiaries effective on June 30, 2014, and as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company’s subsidiaries consisted of: i) China BAK Asia Holdings Limited (“BAK Asia”), a wholly owned limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on July 9, 2013; ii) Dalian BAK Trading, a wholly owned limited company established on August 14, 2013 in the PRC; and iii) Dalian BAK Power, a wholly owned limited liability company established on December 27, 2013 in the PRC.

The Company continued its business and continued to generate revenues from sale of batteries via subcontracting the production to BAK Tianjin, a former subsidiary before the completion of construction and operation of its facility in Dalian in July 2015. BAK Tianjin is a supplier of the Company and the Company does not have any significant benefits or liability from the operating results of BAK Tianjin except the normal risk with any major supplier.

Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the buyer of the Company’s former subsidiaries dated August 20, 2014, Mr. Xiangqian Li remained as a director of BAK International, Shenzhen BAK, BAK Battery and BAK Tianjin until Shenzhen BAK’s full settlement of its bank loans of $58.6 million expiring on various dates through March 2015. Shenzhen BAK renewed the banking loans with Agricultural Bank of China of $65.0 million (RMB420 million) expiring on April 14, 2016. Shenzhen BAK repaid bank loans of $14.4 million (RMB93 million) in April 2016 and had outstanding bank loans of $50.6 million (RMB326 million) expiring on various dates through February 2017. On May 20, 2015, BAK Asia New Energy Holding Limited (formerly known as “Asia Zhi Li New Energy Holding Limited”), the shareholder of BAK International Limited agreed to indemnify Mr. Xiangqian Li from any loss as a result of the default of repayment of bank loans by Shenzhen BAK. As of the date of this report, Mr. Xiangqian Li is no longer a director of BAK International and BAK Tianjin.

On and effective March 1, 2016, Mr. Xiangqian Li resigned as Chairman, director, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary of the Company. On the same date, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Yunfei Li as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary of the Company. On March 4, 2016, Mr. Xiangqian Li transferred 3,000,000 shares to Mr. Yunfei Li for a price of $2.4 per share. After the share transfer, Mr. Yunfei Li held 3,000,000 shares or 17.3% and Mr. Xiangqian Li held 760,557 shares at 4.4% of the Company’s outstanding stock, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, Mr. Yunfei Li held 3,002,500 shares or 17.2% and Mr. Xiangqian Li held 760,557 shares or 4.4%, respectively.

The Company had a working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit from recurring net losses incurred in prior years and current period and short-term debt obligations as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In June and July 2015, the Company received advances of approximately $9.8 million from the following potential investors, who are independent from the Company and independent from each other:

Pursuant to the loan agreements with the investors executed on September 29, 2015, the loans were interest bearing at 20% per annum and secured by all the assets of Dalian BAK Power in China. Advances of $9,466,985 were repayable by September 30, 2015 and an advance of $380,659 was repayable by December 7, 2015.

On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with these investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Conversion Agreement, each of the creditors agreed to convert existing loan principal of $9,847,644 into an aggregate 4,376,731 shares of common stock of the Company (“the Shares”) at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. The closing price as of September 29, 2015 was $2.22, which was slightly lower than the conversion price of $2.25. There was no expense associated with the conversion.

Pursuant to supplemental agreements also executed on September 29, 2015, if the loans were converted into equity before October 30, 2015, the investors will waive their entitlements to all the interest accruing on the loans.

Upon receipt of the Shares on October 16, 2015, the creditors released the Company from all claims, demands and other obligations relating to the Debts. The amount of $9,847,644 was classified as shares to be issued under additional paid-in capital as of September 30, 2015.

As such, no interest was recognized by the Company on the advances from investors pursuant to the supplemental agreements with investors and the Debt Conversion Agreement.

On June 10 and 15, 2016, the Company repaid the one-year short term loans of RMB30 million and RMB50 million, respectively, obtained under its banking facilities in June 2015. On June 14, 2016, the Company renewed its banking facilities from Bank of Dandong to provide a maximum amount of RMB130 million (approximately $19.6 million), including three-year long-term loans and three-year revolving bank acceptance and letters of credit bills for the period from June 13, 2016 to June 12, 2019. The banking facilities were guaranteed by Mr. Xianqian Li, our former CEO, Ms. Xiaoqiu Yu, the wife of the Company’s former CEO, Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd., the Company’s former subsidiary (“Shenzhen BAK”), Mr. Yunfei Li, the Company’s CEO, and Ms. Qinghui Yuan, Mr. Yunfei Li’s wife. The facilities were also secured by part of its Dalian site’s prepaid land use rights, buildings, construction in progress, machinery and equipment and pledged deposits. Under the banking facilities, in June 2016, the Company borrowed various three-year bank loans that totaled RMB84.5 million (approximately $12.7 million), bearing fixed interest at 7.2% per annum. The Company also borrowed a series of short term loans that totaled $0.7 million arising from the matured letters of credit from Bank of Dandong under the credit facilities.

In June 2016, the Company received further advances in the aggregate of $2.9 million from Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li. These advances were unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. On July 8, 2018, the Company received further advances of $2.7 million from Mr Jiping Zhou. On July 28, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreements with Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li to issue and sell an aggregate of 2,206,640 shares of common stock of the Company, at $2.5 per share, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $5.52 million.

The Company is currently expanding its product lines and manufacturing capacity in its Dalian plant, which requires more funding to finance the expansion. The Company plans to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity financing in the future to meet its daily cash demands if required.

However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining further financing. The Company believes that it can continue as a going concern and return to profitability in view of the booming market demand on high power lithium in products.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" which provides explicit guidance on the treatment of awards with performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going concern (Subtopic 205-40) which provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. This guidance in ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).The amendments permit the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the Overnight Index Swap Rate, or OIS) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. Public business entities are required to implement the new requirements in fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2015. All other types of entities are required to implement the new requirements in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.

For all other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of ASU 2014-09 and 2014-16, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. These ASUs clarify the implementation guidance on a few narrow areas and adds some practical expedients to the guidance Topic 606. The Company is evaluating the effect the ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of these standards on its ongoing financial reporting.

On March 15, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. The amendments in ASU 2016-07 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017 including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard should be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting after the effective date. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which includes amendments to accounting for income taxes at settlement, forfeitures, and net settlements to cover withholding taxes. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted but requires all elements of the amendments to be adopted at once rather than individually. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that $0.3 million and $1.8 million was recoverable, respectively.

The Company may have become liable for liquidated damages to certain shareholders whose shares were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement that the Company entered into with such shareholders in November 2007.

United States Tax
China BAK is subject to a statutory tax rate of 35% under United States of America tax law. No provision for income taxes in the United States or elsewhere has been made as China BAK had no taxable income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

Hong Kong Tax
BAK Asia is subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate of 16.5% and did not have any assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 and accordingly no provision for Hong Kong profits tax was made in these periods.

PRC Tax
The Company’s subsidiaries in China are subject to Enterprise Income Tax at 25% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes determined at the statutory income tax rate to the Company's income taxes is as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 are presented below:

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company’s U.S. entity had net operating loss carry forwards of $35,318,443, of which $102,293 was available to reduce future taxable income which will expire in various years through 2035 and $35,216,150 was available to offset capital gains recognized through 2020 and the Company’s PRC subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards of $437,933 and $4,841,972, respectively, which will expire in various years through 2021. Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these potential tax benefits as these operations will not generate any operating profits in the foreseeable future. As a result, a valuation allowance was provided against the full amount of the potential tax benefits.

The Company did not provide for deferred income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 of approximately of $14.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were included in accumulated deficit and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes or applicable withholding taxes, related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if management concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rates in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion.

The Company grants share options to officers and employees and restricted shares of common stock to its non-employee directors and employees as rewards for their services.

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 800,000 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 1,600,000. On June 17, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to Section 1.7 of the Plan that if an option terminates without being wholly exercised, new options or restricted stock may be granted hereunder covering the number of shares to which such option termination relates. Section 1.7 of the Plan originally provided that only new options may be granted in this case.

On June 22, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors recommended and approved the grant of options to purchase 385,640 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain key employees, officers and consultants with an exercise price of $14.05 per share and a contractual life of 7 years. In accordance with the vesting provisions of the grants, the options will become vested and exercisable over five years in twenty equal quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter beginning on October 1, 2009.

A summary of share option plan activity for these options as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 is presented below:

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to the above non-vested share options.

On June 12, 2015, the Board of Director approved the China BAK Battery, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) for Employees, Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is ten million (10,000,000) Shares.

On June 30, 2015, pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 690,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company with a fair value of $3.24 per share on June 30, 2015. In accordance with the vesting schedule of the grant, the restricted shares will vest in twelve equal quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning on June 30, 2015 (i.e. last vesting period: quarter ending March 31, 2018). The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expenses on a graded-vesting method.

During the three and nine month period June 30, 2016, 22,500 restricted shares were forfeited following the resignation of Mr. Chunzhi Zhang, an independent director on January 14, 2016. Unrecognized compensation cost of $48,172 was recognized as non-cash share-based compensation expenses to general and administrative expenses for the nine month period June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, there was unrecognized stock-based compensation of $580,484 associated with the above restricted shares. As of June 30, 2016, 231,665 vested shares were issued and 50,835 vested shares were to be issued. On July 5, 2016, the remaining 50,835 vested shares were issued.

On April 19, 2016, pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) granted an aggregate of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Restricted Shares”), to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company, of which 220,000 restricted shares were granted to the Company’s executive officers and directors. There are three types of vesting schedules. First, if the number of restricted shares granted is below 3,000, the shares will vest annually in 2 equal installments over a two year period with the first vesting on June 30, 2017. Second, if the number of restricted shares granted is larger than or equal to 3,000 and is below 10,000, the shares will vest annually in 3 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on June 30, 2017. Third, if the number of restricted shares granted is above or equal to 10,000, the shares will vest semi-annually in 6 equal installments over a three year period with the first vesting on December 31, 2016. The fair value of these restricted shares was $2.68 per share on April 19, 2016. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expenses over the vesting period (or the requisite service period) on a graded-vesting method.

The Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation expense of $166,616 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, in respect of the restricted shares granted on April 19, 2016 of which $126,295, $21,660, $10,330 and $8,331 were allocated to general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and cost of revenues, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, non-vested restricted shares granted on April 19, 2016 are as follows:

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 three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

The above weighted average shares include 57,000 vested restricted shares granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan that were not yet issued for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, and 50,835 vested restricted shares granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan that were not yet issued for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, the outstanding 4,200 stock options were anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted (loss) earnings per share.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Certain current assets and current liabilities are financial instruments. Management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and, if applicable, their current interest rates are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, trade accounts and bills receivable, other receivables, receivables from and payables to former subsidiaries, trade accounts and bills payables, other short-term loans, short-term and long-term bank loans and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments or the rate of interest of these instruments approximate the market rate of interest.

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company had the following contracted capital commitments:

In July 2016, BAK Asia contributed further capital to Dalian BAK Power through injection of cash of $5,657,660.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the legal proceeding set forth below, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that the Company believe will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

An individual named Steven R. Ruth filed suit against China BAK Battery, Inc. in United States District Court for the Western District of Texas in 2013 alleging breach of contract. The Company did not receive notice of this lawsuit and the plaintiff sought a default judgment, which the court granted in January 2014. Accordingly, the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Ruth in the amount of $553,774 inclusive of costs and attorneys’ fees (the “First Judgment”).

Subsequent to the entry of the First Judgment, Mr. Ruth has made efforts to have the judgment enforced in Canada. On September 19, 2014, Mr. Ruth also filed a second complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. On November 12, 2014, a second default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $553,774 for the First Judgment plus an additional $7,550 in attorneys’ fees (the “Second Judgment”). The Second Judgment is inclusive of the amounts ordered in the First Judgment. BAK International thereafter agreed to indemnify the Company from any expenses, losses and damages that were incurred and will be incurred by the Company due to the lawsuit filed by Mr. Ruth.

On December 30, 2015, Mr. Ruth, China BAK Battery, Inc., BAK International Limited, Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen BAK Power Battery Co., Ltd. entered into a settlement and release agreement, pursuant to which, among others, the parties irrevocably released and forever discharged each other from and against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, cause of actions and damages, including any and all claims against the parties in the First Judgement, the Second Judgement and certain recognition action commenced by Mr. Ruth in the Supreme Court of British Columbia of Canada. On May 6, 2016, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued a consent dismissal order upon the applications of the parties and dismissed the recognition action.

On July 7, 2016, Shenzhen Huijie Purification System Engineering Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen Huijie”), one of the Company’s contractors, filed a lawsuit against Dalian BAK Power in the Peoples’ Court of Zhuanghe City, Dalian for the failure to pay pursuant to the terms of the contract and entrusted part of the project of the contract to a third party without their prior consent. The plaintiff sought a total amount of $1,268,036 (RMB 8,430,792), including construction costs of $0.9 million (RMB6.3 million, which the Company already accrued for at June 30, 2016), interest of $30,689 (RMB0.2 million) and compensation of $0.3 million (RMB1.9 million).The Company believes that the plaintiff's claims for interest and compensation are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit.

The Company had two and six customers that individually comprised 10% or more of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, as follows:

The Company had two and two customers that individually comprised 10% or more of net revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, as follows:

The Company had two customers that individually comprised 10% or more of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively, as follows:

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, the Company recorded the following transactions :

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits. As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, substantially all of the 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.

For the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

The Company engages in one business segment, the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of a wide variety of standard and customized rechargeable batteries for use in a wide array of applications. The Company used to manufacture five types of Li-ion rechargeable batteries: aluminum-case cell, battery pack, cylindrical cell, lithium polymer cell and high-power lithium battery cell. The Company’s products were sold to packing plants operated by third parties primarily for use in mobile phones and other electronic devices. After the disposal of BAK International, the Company focused on producing high-power lithium battery cells. Net revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 were as follows:

Our Dalian manufacturing facilities began partial commercial operations in July 2015. As a result, we are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling new energy high power lithium batteries, which are mainly used in the following applications:

We have received most of the operating assets, including customers, employees, patents and technologies of our former subsidiary, BAK International (Tianjin) Ltd. (“BAK Tianjin”). Such assets were acquired in exchange for a reduction in receivables from our former subsidiaries that were disposed in June 2014. We have outsourced and will continue to outsource our production to BAK Tianjin or other manufacturers until our Dalian manufacturing facility can fulfill our customers’ needs. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Dalian BAK Power had purchased from BAK Tianjin of approximately $49,095.

We generated revenues of $2.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. We incurred a net loss of $1.0 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $133.9 million and net assets of $15.1 million. We had a working capital deficiency and accumulated deficit from recurring net losses in prior and current years and short-term debt obligations maturing in less than one year as of June 30, 2016.

On June 10 and 14, 2016, we repaid the one-year short term loans of RMB30 million and RMB50 million, respectively, obtained under our banking facilities in June 2015. On June 14, 2016, we renewed our banking facilities from Bank of Dandong to provide a maximum amount of RMB130 million (approximately $19.6 million), including three-year long-term loans and three-year revolving bank acceptance and letters of credit bills for the period from June 13, 2016 to June 12, 2019. The banking facilities were guaranteed by Mr. Xianqian Li, our former CEO, Ms. Xiaoqiu Yu, the wife of our former CEO, Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd., our former subsidiary (“Shenzhen BAK”), Mr. Yunfei Li, our CEO, and Ms. Qinghui Yuan, Mr. Yunfei Li i’s wife. The facilities were also secured by part of our Dalian site’s prepaid land use rights, buildings, construction in progress, machinery and equipment and pledged deposits. Under the banking facilities, in June 2016, we borrowed various three-year term bank loans that totaled RMB84.5 million (approximately $12.7 million), bearing fixed interest at 7.2% per annum. We also borrowed a series of short-term loans that totaled $0.7 million arising from the matured letters of credit from Bank of Dandong under the credit facilities. In June 2016, we received further advances in the aggregate of $2.9 million from Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li. These advances were unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. On July 8, 2018, we received further advances of $2.7 million from Mr Jiping Zhou. On July 28, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreements with Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li to issue and sell an aggregate of 2,206,640 shares of our common stock, at $2.5 per share, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $5.52 million. On August 17, 2016, we issued these shares to the investors.

As of June 30, 2016, we had unutilized committed banking facilities of $4.6 million.

On July 5, 2016, we obtained new banking facilities from Bank of Dalian to provide a maximum loan amount of RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million) and bank acceptance of RMB40 million (approximately $6.0 million) to July 2017. The banking facilities were guaranteed by Shenzhen BAK, Mr. Yunfei Li, our CEO, and Ms. Qinghui Yuan, Mr. Yunfei Li’s wife. On July 5, 2016, we borrowed a one-year term bank loan of RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million), bearing fixed interest at 6.525% per annum. We also borrowed a series of RMB20 million (approximately $3.0 million) of bank acceptance from Bank of Dalian. We intend to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity financing in the future to meet our daily cash demands, if required.

In the meanwhile, due to the growing environmental pollution problem, the Chinese government is currently providing vigorous support to the new energy facilities and vehicles. It is expected that we will be able to secure more potential orders from the new energy market, especially from the electric car market. We believe with that the booming market demand on high power lithium ion products, we can continue as a going concern and return to profitability.

We typically receive orders from customers two to seven weeks in advance of production. We enter into cooperative agreements with customers, and a sales contract each time a customer places an order. Once we have delivered the products to the customer and the customer has examined and accepted the products, we provide after sales support from one year to 8 years. We confirm amounts payable with each customer on a monthly basis. The products typically must be delivered to customers within fifteen days of receipt of the sales order, and the customers typically pay 50% sales deposits within one week of placement of sales order and the remaining must be paid for the products within one month of delivery.

As of June, 30, 2016, we have signed cooperative agreements with customers to provide high-power battery products with total sales amount over RMB600 million ($90 million).

We expect the Chinese government to announce a subsidy policy to partially offset the cost to produce new energy vehicles and thereby encourage the development of new energy vehicle industry. Manufacturers of new energy vehicles are expected to receive subsidies from the central and/or local governments based on their sales value. Since the subsidy policy had not been announced by the government in the first half of calendar year 2016, our customers did not place sales orders according to the production plan of the sales agreement they entered into with us. As a result, our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was mainly generated from sales of samples to our new customers. We believe that our revenue will increase significantly as soon as the subsidy policy is announced, which is expected to be in the second half of the calendar year of 2016.

In March 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (the “MIIT”) issued the Requirements of the Industry Standards for the Auto Power Storage Batteries ("Requirements"), which are applicable to auto power battery manufacturers located in China. In order to be certified as qualified manufacturers under Requirements, manufacturers are required to be examined by quality inspecting agencies appointed by Administration of Quality Inspection under Requirements after the manufacturers have obtained the following reports and certificates:

1. Environmental Acceptance Report;
2. Fire Acceptance Report;
3. New National Standard Certificate of Power Battery: GB/T 31484-2015, GB/T 31485-2015 and GB/T 31486-2015;
4. OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System;
5. ISO14001 Environmental Management System; and
6. Occupational Health Report Occupational Health Report.

We have currently obtained the required reports and certificates listed under items 1 to 5 above. We expect that we will obtain the remaining certificates and reports in August 2016 and submit all application materials to the MIIT by the end of August 2016. Although we believe that we will meet all of the conditions listed under the Requirements, there is no assurance that the certification will be granted to us by the MIIT. During the transition period in 2015 and the beginning of 2016, electric automobile manufacturers were able to obtain subsidies from the governments even though their power battery suppliers were not as qualified manufacturers under the Requirements. Subsequent to that period and prior to obtaining the certification from the MIIT, we plan to cooperate with Shenzhen BAK, our former subsidiary, or other qualified companies under the Requirements, by selling our key materials to those battery manufacturers for them to manufacture, pack, test and use their own process produce and sell end products in compliance with the Requirements to electric automobile manufacturers.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, 36.3% of our revenue was generated from the oversea markets. We also devoted more resources to manufacture high-power lithium batteries for end-product applications in light electric vehicles and uninterruptable power suppliers. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, 93.5% of our revenue was generated from our manufactured batteries used for light electric vehicles and uninterruptable power supplies.

The following are some financial highlights for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2016:

Net revenues. Our net revenues represent the invoiced value of our products sold, net of value added taxes, or VAT, sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. We are subject to VAT, which is levied on most of our products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of our products. Provision for sales returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period that revenue is recognized. The provision for sales returns represents our best estimate of the amount of goods that will be returned from our customers based on historical sales return data.

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of China on Value Added Tax and its implementing rules, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods, the provision of repairs and replacement services and the importation of goods in China are generally required to pay VAT at a rate of 17% of the gross sales proceeds received, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayer. Further, when exporting goods, the exporter is entitled to some or all of the refund of VAT that it has already paid or borne. Our imported raw materials that are used for manufacturing exported products and deposited in bonded warehouses are exempt from import VAT.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee remuneration for staff engaged in production activity, share-based compensation, depreciation and related expenses that are directly attributable to the production of products. Cost of revenues also includes write-downs of inventory to lower of cost or market. Cost of revenues from the sales of battery packs includes the fees we pay to pack manufacturers for assembling our prismatic cells into battery packs.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses primarily consist of remuneration for R&D staff, share-based compensation, depreciation and maintenance expenses relating to R&D equipment, and R&D material costs.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of remuneration for staff involved in selling and marketing efforts, including staff engaged in the packaging of goods for shipment, advertising cost, depreciation, share-based compensation, warranty and travel and entertainment expenses. We do not pay slotting fees to retail companies for displaying our products, engage in cooperative advertising programs, participate in buy-down programs or similar arrangements.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee remuneration, share-based compensation, professional fees, insurance, benefits, general office expenses, depreciation and liquidated damage charges.

Government grant income. We present the government subsidies received as income unless the subsidies received are earmarked to compensate a specific expense, which have been accounted for by offsetting the specific expense, such as research and development expense, interest expenses and removal costs. Unearned government subsidies received are deferred for recognition until the criteria for such recognition could be met. Grants applicable to land are amortized over the life of the depreciable facilities constructed on it. For research and development expenses, we match and offset the government grants with the expenses of the research and development activities as specified in the grant approval document in the corresponding period when such expenses are incurred.

Finance costs, net. Finance costs consist primarily of interest income and interest on bank loans, net of capitalized interest.

Income tax expenses. Our subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to income tax rate of 25%. Our Hong Kong subsidiary BAK Asia is subject to a profits tax at a rate of 16.5% . However, because we did not have any assessable income derived from or arising in the region, the entity had not paid any such tax.

The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues.

Net revenues. Net revenues were $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2015, representing a decrease of $1.1 million, or 44.5% .

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our net revenues by end-product applications derived from high-power lithium batteries for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

Net revenues from sales of batteries for electric vehicles was $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to nil in the same period of 2015. We started producing batteries for electric vehicles in Dalian facilities at the end of fiscal year 2015. Our revenue from sales of batteries for electric vehicles for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the delay in the announcement of the government subsidy policy for new energy vehicles in 2016 and our application for the eligible manufacturers of MIIT as discussed above.

Net revenue from sales of batteries for light electric vehicles was approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to nil in the same period of 2015.

Net revenues from sales of batteries for uninterruptable power supplies was $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared with $2.5 million in the same period in 2015, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or 64.9% . We focused on manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles in fiscal 2016 and therefore sales of batteries for uninterruptable power supplies decreased significantly.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues decreased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 14.0% . Included in cost of revenues was a write down of inventories of $0.1 million and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We write down the inventory value when there is an indication that it is impaired. However, further write-downs may be necessary if market conditions continue to deteriorate.

Gross profit (loss). Gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.6 million or 40.6% of net revenues as compared to a gross profit of $0.2 million, or 9.3% of net revenues, for the same period in 2015. Our new Dalian facilities commenced manufacturing activities in July 2015. Inefficiency was inevitable due to the operation of the newly installed machinery and newly hired production staff. In particular, we need to maintain a high level of skilled production staff, in anticipation for the production needs following the release of the government subsidy policy of new energy vehicles in the second half of calendar year 2016. As a result, we incurred a gross loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2015, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million, or 49.7% . This decrease was mainly because we had more trial production operation in our Dalian site for the three months ended June 30, 2015 before our commercial operation in July 2015. The research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2016 was mainly comprised of $0.24 million of salary and wages including restricted shares granted to our research and development staff.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to approximately $41,175 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, or 400.0%, primarily due to the provision for warranty expenses of $64,000 according to our after sale service maintenance policy on electric vehicle battery products. We also expanded our sales team at our Dalian facilities. As of June 30, 2016, we had a sales team of 14 employees in Dalian and recorded salaries and allowance, including restricted shares granted, of $81,000. We also incurred approximately $43,000 in travelling, entertainment and promotion expenses for our promotion of overseas sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 while we did not have overseas sales in the same period of 2015.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.2 million, or 87.2% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $0.8 million, or 31.8% of revenues, for the same period in 2015, an increase of $0.4 million, or 52.0% . The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly because we expanded our administrative and management teams after we commenced our commercial operations in Dalian. As a result, the salary and wages, including restricted shares granted, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $0.4 million compared with the same period in 2015.

Operating loss. As a result of the above, our operating loss totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1.7 million, or 137.3% .

Income tax credit. Income tax credit was nil for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $32,851 for the same period in 2015.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.3 million and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016. Income from discontinued operations in 2015 represents an adjustment to the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations previously recorded in fiscal 2014. Upon disposal of BAK International and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Disposal Group”) in June 2014, the Disposal Group owed us a sum of $17.8 million. Our management evaluated the collectability of the remaining amount and determined that $1.8 million should be impaired and offset against the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2014. In the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we determined that a further amount of $0.3 million was recoverable. The recovery was treated as an adjustment to the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations in 2015.

Net (loss) profit. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues.

Net revenues. Net revenues were $10.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2015, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 17.0% .

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our net revenues by end-product applications derived from high-power lithium batteries for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

Net revenues from sales of batteries for electric vehicles was $6.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared to nil in the same period of 2015. We started producing batteries for electric vehicles in our Dalian facilities at the end of fiscal year 2015.

Net revenues from sales of batteries for light electric vehicles was approximately $0.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared to nil in the same period of 2015.

Net revenues from sales of batteries for uninterruptable power supplies was $3.0 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared with $8.6 million in the same period in 2015, representing a decrease of $5.6 million, or 65.0% . We focused on manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles in fiscal 2016 and therefore sales of batteries for uninterruptable power supplies decreased significantly.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased to $10.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $3.3 million, or 42.8% . Included in cost of revenues was a write down of inventories, of which is $0.4 million and nil for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We write down the inventory value when there is an indication that it is impaired. However, further write-downs may be necessary if market conditions continue to deteriorate.

Gross (loss) profit. Gross loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.8 million, or 8.1% of net revenues as compared to a gross profit of $1.0 million, or 11.4% of net revenues, for the same period in 2015. Our new Dalian facilities commenced manufacturing activities in July 2015. Inefficiency was inevitable due to the operation of the newly installed machinery and newly hired production staff. As a result, we incurred a gross loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2016.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $0.7 million, or 95.6 %. We began our trial production in the three months ended June 30, 2015 before our commercial operation in July 2015. The research and development expenses in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was mainly comprised of $0.7 million of material and consumable expenses and $0.6 million of salary and wages including restricted shares granted to our research and development staff.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $0.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to approximately $0.1 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $0.6 million, or 743.8%, primarily due to the provision for warranty expenses of $0.3 million according to our after sale service maintenance policy on electric vehicle battery products. We also incurred $0.2 million in travelling and promotion expenses for our overseas sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 while we did not have overseas sales in the same period in fiscal year 2015.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $3.4 million, or 33.6% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $1.8 million, or 20.9% of revenues, for the same period in 2015, an increase by $1.6 million, or 87.8% . The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly because we expanded our administrative and management teams after we commenced our commercial operations in Dalian. As a result, the salary and wages increased, including restricted shares granted, by $1.4 million as compared with the same period of fiscal year 2015.

Operating loss. As a result of the above, our operating loss totaled $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $5.3 million,or 326.3% .

Government grant income. Government grant income was nil for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $23.2 million of government grant income for the same period last year. The government grant income in 2015 was mainly due to the recognition of the subsidy of $23.2 million from the Management Committee of Dalian Economic Zone granted to finance the costs and projected operating losses incurred during the move to our new facilities in Dalian.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $14,775 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to income tax expense of $5.8 million for the same period in 2015. Income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was due to the deferred tax impact of the government subsidies recognized.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $1.8 million and nil for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Income from discontinued operations in 2015 represents an adjustment to the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations previously recorded in fiscal 2014. Upon disposal of BAK International and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Disposal Group”) in June 2014, the Disposal Group owed us a sum of $17.8 million. Our management evaluated the collectability of the remaining amount and determined that $1.8 million should be impaired and offset against the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2014. In fiscal 2015, we determined that $1.8 million was recoverable. The recovery was treated as an adjustment to the gain on disposal of subsidiaries from discontinued operations in 2015.

Net (loss) profit. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $6.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a net profit of $17.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

We have financed our liquidity requirements from short-term and long-term bank loans and bills payable under bank credit agreements, advance from our related and unrelated parties, investors and issuance of capital stock.

As of June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million. Our total current assets were $26.5 million and our total current liabilities were $48.1 million, resulting in a net working capital deficiency of $21.6 million. These factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 10 and 14, 2016, we repaid the one-year short term loans of RMB30 million and RMB50 million, respectively, obtained under our banking facilities in June 2015. On June 14, 2016, we renewed our banking facilities from Bank of Dandong to provide a maximum amount of RMB130 million (approximately $19.6 million), including three-year long-term loans and three-year revolving bank acceptance and letters of credit bills for the period from June 13, 2016 to June 12, 2019. The banking facilities were guaranteed by Mr. Xianqian Li, our former CEO, Ms. Xiaoqiu Yu, the wife of our former CEO, Shenzhen BAK, Mr. Yunfei Li, our CEO, and Ms. Qinghui Yuan, Mr. Yunfei Li i’s wife. The facilities were also secured by part of our Dalian site’s prepaid land use rights, buildings, construction in progress, machinery and equipment and pledged deposits. Under the banking facilities, in June 2016, we borrowed various three-year term bank loans that totaled RMB84.5 million (approximately $12.7 million), bearing fixed interest at 7.2% per annum. We also borrowed a series of short-term loans that totaled $0.7 million arising from the matured letters of credit from Bank of Dandong under the credit facilities. In June 2016, we received further advances in the aggregate of $2.9 million from Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li. These advances were unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. On July 8, 2018, we received further advances of $2.7 million from Mr Jiping Zhou. On July 28, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreements with Mr. Jiping Zhou and Mr. Dawei Li to issue and sell an aggregate of 2,206,640 shares of our common stock, at $2.5 per share, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $5.52 million. On August 17, 2016, we issued these shares to the investors.

As of June 30, 2016, we had unutilized committed banking facilities of $4.6 million.

On July 5, 2016, our subsidiary Dalian BAK Power entered into a banking facility letter with Bank of Dalian to provide a maximum loan amount of RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million) and bank acceptance of RMB40 million (approximately $6.0 million) to July 2017. The banking facilities were guaranteed by Shenzhen BAK, Mr. Yunfei Li, our CEO, and Ms. Qinghui Yuan, Mr. Yunfei Li’s wife. On July 5, 2016 we borrowed a one-year term bank loan of RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million), bearing fixed interest at 6.525% per annum. We also borrowed a series of RMB20 million (approximately $3.0 million) of bank acceptances from Bank of Dalian.

We are currently expanding our product lines and manufacturing capacity in our Dalian plant, which require more funding to finance the expansion. We plan to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity financing in the future to meet our daily cash demands if required. We may also require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. Moreover, we plan to renew these loans upon maturity, if required. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining this financing. If our existing cash and bank borrowing are insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell equity securities, debt securities or borrow from lending institutions. We have no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute the interests of our current shareholders. 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 shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may suffer.

In the meanwhile, due to the growing environmental pollution problem, the Chinese government is currently providing vigorous support to the new energy facilities and vehicles. It is expected that we will be able to secure more potential orders from the new energy market, especially from the electric car market. We believe that with the booming future market demand in high power lithium ion products, we can continue as a going concern and return to profitability.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $64,877 in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.6 million in the same period in 2015. The net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was mainly attributable to an increase in trade accounts and bills payable of $11.4 million and payables from our former subsidiaries of $4.5 million, which were offset by our net loss of $6.5 million and increase in inventories of $8.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $12.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.9 million in the same period of 2015. The net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was mainly comprised of the net cash payments of $12.2 million to construct the Dalian facilities, including construction and purchase of equipment. The net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was mainly attributable to a $7.4 million government grant received and $1.5 million repayment from our former subsidiary, offset by a net cash payment of $7.1 million to construct the Dalian facilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $15.3 million during the same period in 2015. We obtained bank loans of $13.0 million and borrowed $7.5 million from related and unrelated parties during the nine months ended June 30, 2016, offset by repayment of short term bank borrowings of $11.6 million. In the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we received $8.1 million of short term bank loans and $12.8 million other short term loans from related and unrelated parties, offset by repayments of $5.6 million to related and unrelated parties.

As of June 30, 2016, the principal amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and lines of credit were as follows:

We incurred capital expenditures of $12.2 million and $7.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 were used primarily to construct our manufacturing facilities in Dalian.

We estimate that our total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year of 2017 will reach approximately $7.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Such funds will be used to construct new plants and expand new automatic manufacturing lines in Dalian to fulfill our customer demands.

Other than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we did not have any other long-term debt obligations, operating lease obligations, capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2016.

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party and under which we have (i) any obligation under a guarantee, (ii) any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity, (iii) any obligation under derivative instruments that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets, or (iv) any obligation arising out of a variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Our condensed 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. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Please refer to note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Principal Activities, Basis of Presentation and Organization –Recently Issued Accounting Standards,” for a discussion of relevant pronouncements.

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 Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016. 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 interim 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2016.

As we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 13, 2016, during our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015, management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:

In order to cure the foregoing material weakness, we have taken or are taking the following remediation measures:

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weakness that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

Except for the matters described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the legal proceedings set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results:

An individual named Steven R. Ruth filed suit against China BAK Battery, Inc. in United States District Court for the Western District of Texas on August 15, 2013 alleging breach of contract. China BAK Battery, Inc. did not receive notice of this lawsuit and the plaintiff sought a default judgment, which the court granted in January 2014. Accordingly, the court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Ruth in the amount of $553,774 inclusive of costs and attorneys’ fees (the “First Judgment”).

Subsequent to the entry of the First Judgment, Mr. Ruth has made efforts to have the judgment enforced in Canada. On September 19, 2014, Mr. Ruth also filed a second complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. On November 12, 2014, a second default judgment was entered against China BAK Battery, Inc. in the amount of $553,774 for the First Judgment plus an additional $7,550 in attorneys’ fees (the “Second Judgment”). The Second Judgment is inclusive of the amounts ordered in the First Judgment. BAK International thereafter agreed to indemnify China BAK Battery, Inc. from any expenses, losses and damages that were incurred and will incur to China BAK Battery, Inc. due to the lawsuit filed by Mr. Ruth.

On July 7, 2016, Shenzhen Huijie Purification System Engineering Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen Huijie”), one of the Company’s contractors, filed a lawsuit against Dalian BAK Power in the Peoples’ Court of Zhuanghe City, Dalian for the failure to pay pursuant to the terms of the contract and entrusted part of the project of the contract to a third party without their prior consent. The plaintiff sought a total amount of $1,268,036 (RMB 8,430,792), including construction costs of $0.9 million (RMB6.3 million, which we already accrued for at June 30, 2016), interest of $30,689 (RMB0.2 million) and compensation of $0.3 million (RMB1.9 million). We believe that the plaintiff's claims for interest and compensation are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit.

Saved as below disclosed, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

If we fail to be certified as a manufacturer meeting the Requirements of the Industry Standards for the Auto Power Storage Batteries by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT), our financial position may be materially adversely affected.

In March 2015, the MIIT published the Requirements of the Industry Standards for the Auto Power Storage Batteries, pursuant to which manufactures of auto power storage batteries may apply for certification under the Requirements. Manufactures of new energy automobiles are more willing to order storage batteries from manufactures who have been certified by the MIIT for meeting the Requirements due to various reasons including government subsidies. To date, the MIIT has certified 57 auto power storage manufactures that meet the Requirements. While we are currently in the process of applying for certification under the Requirements and we believe we will be certified by no later than early 2017, there is no assurance that such certification will be issued to us in a timely manner. Any delay in obtaining or failure to obtain the certification could materially adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from selling our products to automobile manufactures in China, which likely would result in significant harm to our financial position and adversely impact our stock price.
