Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(b)    As reported in the current report on Form 8-K that China BAK Battery, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the SEC on August 4, 2006:

 

    during the course of the re-audit by the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, KPMG identified accounting misstatements in those financial statements that require correction;

 

    the Company’s 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

 

    the Company will amend its previously filed periodic reports to restate its financial information.

The Company’s previously filed financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were audited by its prior independent registered public accounting firm, Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP (“SLF”). On August 17, 2006, SLF notified the Company that they are, as of that date, not in a position to agree or disagree with the aforesaid restatements. Since the Company had already filed an 8-K advising that the consolidated financial statements are being restated and should no longer be relied upon and that KPMG is in the process of reauditing those financial statements, SLF have accordingly withdrawn their opinions on the aforementioned financial statements dated as of the dates outlined below:

 

    December 28, 2005 except for notes 20(a), (b), and (c) and 21 as to which the date is January 12, 2006, note 20(d) as to which the date is January 30, 2006, and notes 20 (e) and (f) as to which the date is March 14, 2006, for the year ended September 30, 2005; and

 

    December 30, 2004 except for note 17 as to which the date is January 20, 2005 and notes 6 and 18 as to which the date is January 30, 2006 for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

We have discussed with SLF the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02(b).

We have provided SLF with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K for review and have requested SLF to provide a letter to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated August 21, 2006, is filed as Exhibit 7.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Dear Sirs:

Re: Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ending September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003

You previously filed an 8-K on August 4, 2006 advising that the consolidated financial statements referred to above on which we previously reported on have been restated and should no longer be relied upon. You further advised that your auditors are in the process of re-auditing those consolidated financial statements. You also cautioned that “Investors should only rely on the restated financial information to be announced by the company in due course”.

At this time, we have not reviewed such restatements and are therefore in no position to agree or disagree with them. Accordingly, we hereby withdraw our opinions on the consolidated financial statements dated December 28, 2005 except for notes 20(a), (b) and (c) and 21 as to which the date is January 12, 2006, note 20(d) as to which the date in January 30, 2006, and notes 20(e) and (f) as to which the date is March 14, 2006 for the year ending September 30, 2005, and dated December 30, 2004 except for note 17 as to which the date is January 20, 2005 and notes 6 and 18 as to which the date is January 30, 2006 for the years ending September 30, 2004 and 2003.
