ITEM 1.01.        ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
 
The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
 
 
On April 2, 2007, two subsidiaries of Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired an aggregate 79.592% ownership interest in Jinzhou Wanyou Mechanical Parts Co., Ltd. (“Wanyou”) in two separate and separately negotiated equity purchase transactions between the Company’s subsidiaries and two former equity owners of Wanyou.

In the first transaction, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wonder Auto Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, acquired a 40.816% equity ownership interest in Wanyou from Hong Kong Friend Branches Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, for a total cash consideration of up to $8.42 million pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 2, 2007. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the total cash consideration is scheduled to be paid by the Company in three installments as follows. The first installment payment of $2.8 million will be made within three months after the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement. The second cash installment payment of $1.41 million will be paid before December 31, 2007. The final cash installment payment of $4.21 million will be paid if Wanyou achieves minimum net income of RMB 23 million (approximately $2.95 million) for the period from April 2, 2007 to April 1, 2008. If Wanyou fails to achieve the minimum net income threshold, the remaining $4.21 million payment will be proportionately reduced. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, no premium is payable by the Company if Wanyou exceeds the net income target threshold.

In the second transaction, the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Jinzhou Halla Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation, acquired a 38.776% equity ownership in Wanyou from Jinzhou Wonder Auto Suspension System Co., Ltd. for a total cash consideration of up to $8.0 million pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 2, 2007. Under the agreement with Jinzhou Wonder Auto Suspension System Co., Ltd., the total consideration will be paid in three installments. The first payment of $3.0 million is due within three months after the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement. The second $3.0 million cash installment will be paid if Wanyou achieves minimum net income of RMB 23 million (approximately $2.95 million) for the period from April 2, 2007 to April 1, 2008. The remaining $2 million cash payment will be paid if Wanyou attains minimum net income of RMB 29 million (approximately $3.72 million) for the period from April 2, 2008 to April 1, 2009. In the case that Wanyou fails to achieve these net income thresholds, the corresponding payments will be proportionately reduced. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, no premium is payable by the Company if Wanyou exceeds the net income target threshold.

Prior to the equity acquisitions described above, the Company, through its subsidiary Jinzhou Halla Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., owned 20.408% of Wanyou. As a result of the equity acquisitions, through its subsidiaries, the Company now has 100% indirect ownership of Wanyou. Neither Hong Kong Friend Branches Limited nor Jinzhou Wonder Auto Suspension System Co., Ltd. is an affiliate of the Company. Wanyou’s former directors resigned immediately upon the execution of each Share Purchases Agreements and Wanyou’s current directors have been designated by the Company.

Wanyou is a sino-foreign joint venture established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and is principally engaged in the business of manufacturing, marketing and selling of piston rods, shock absorber rods, vibration dampers and rotary axes for motor vehicles.

Wonder Auto Announces Acquisition of Remaining 80% Stake
in Wanyou, Increases Guidance

Wednesday April 4, 7:30 am ET

JINZHOU CITY, China, April 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wonder Auto Technology, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: WATG - News; "Wonder Auto" or "the Company"), a China-based manufacturer of automotive electrical parts, specifically starters and alternators, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of approximately 80% of the shares in Jinzhou Wanyou Mechanical Parts Co., Ltd. ("Wanyou"). The shares were purchased from two separate parties for a total cost of $16.42 million. Together with the approximately 20% already owned by Wonder Auto's subsidiary Jinzhou Halla Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., Wonder and its subsidiaries now own 100% of Wanyou. Terms of the acquisition require Wonder to pay the sellers $7.21 million in 2007, $7.21 million in 2008 and $2 million in 2009. The 2008 and 2009 payments are subject to Wanyou meeting certain conditions, including minimum net income targets of RMB 23 million (approximately $2.99 million) for the twelve months from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008, and RMB 29 million (approximately $3.87 million) for the twelve months from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. If these targets are not met, these payments will be reduced proportionately. Wonder Auto will finance the acquisition from drawings under its existing credit lines.
 
Located in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, China, Wanyou is a manufacturer and distributor of piston rods, vibration dampers, shock absorber rods and rotary axes for motor vehicles. The company sells its products to a wide range of manufacturers and has substantial exports from China. Wanyou has 178 employees and its revenues for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 are expected to be approximately $12.5 million. Less than 20% of revenue is currently generated from sales to Wonder Auto.
 
"This acquisition will be immediately accretive for Wonder Auto. In acquiring Wanyou, we gain their significant expertise and network in the export markets, and also a very strong management team that we expect to be instrumental in deepening the overall Wonder Auto management talent pool and thereby supporting the growth of the whole Wonder Auto organization," said Qingjie Zhao, Wonder Auto's Chairman and CEO.
 
Wonder Auto also announced today that it is revising upward its financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2007, to reflect the completion of its acquisition of Wanyou. Net income is now expected to be approximately $13.5 million, compared to previous guidance of $12.8 million. The increase reflects the inclusion of the results of 100% of Wanyou as a consolidated entity from April 2, 2007 through the year end, and also reflects the interest cost of the borrowings necessary to finance the acquisition, and the expenses associated with integrating Wanyou into the Wonder Auto organization including restructuring Wanyou's reporting procedures in order to reach SOX compliance.
