PART III

NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed).

On August 4, 2006, China BAK Battery, Inc. (the “Company”) announced in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC that during the course of the audit by KPMG, the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, KPMG identified certain misstatements in those financial statements. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors determined that the Company’s previously filed financial statements for each of the years and quarters in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 should no longer be relied upon, and that it will amend its previously filed periodic reports to restate its financial information.

The audit by KPMG is still ongoing and the Company is still finalizing the financial statements and related information subject to the restatement for inclusion in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and accordingly cannot file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period. The Company believes that this delay cannot be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company is working diligently to finalize the financial information subject to the restatement and intends to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 by August 21, 2006.

PART IV

OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

Tracy Lee

(Name)

  

(86-755) 8977-0093

(Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  No

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    x  Yes    ¨  No

If so attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company is not in a position to provide a reasonable estimate of the full extent of anticipated significant changes between the results of operations for its quarter ended June 30, 2005 and its quarter ended June 30, 2006, because the restatement will likely affect the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended June, 2005, but the restatement is not yet complete. Additionally, the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 are not yet complete due to the Company’s substantial work expended in connection with the restatement. However, as previously announced, the Company estimates that its previously reported revenues would not be affected by the restatement, although no assurance can be given in this regard and investors should only rely on the restated financial information to be announced by the Company in due course. [Accordingly, the Company is able to estimate that its revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 will be approximately $33 million, compared to approximately $24 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.]
