ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

This Form 8-K/A is filed to amend the registrant’s Form 8-K filed on December 8, 2004 to include the financial statements required to be filed with that report.

Eagle-Picher Industries Europe B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of EaglePicher Incorporated (collectively “EaglePicher”) completed the acquisition of a 51.1% interest in EaglePicher Kokam Co., Ltd., formerly Kokam Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Kokam”), a Korean lithium-ion battery and battery equipment manufacturer based in Seoul, South Korea, on December 2, 2004. During the second quarter of 2004, we signed a share purchase agreement to buy 51.1% of the equity securities of Kokam from its majority shareholder. Under the provisions of this agreement, we paid $1.0 million in July 2004 as a good-faith non-refundable fee toward the total purchase price of approximately $6.2 million for the shares and paid the remainder on December 2, 2004. In addition, the agreement provides for an earn-out arrangement whereby the seller will receive ten times 1% of EBITDA (as defined in the share purchase agreement) for the first five years after closing with a maximum amount payable of approximately $14.8 million. Finally, we purchased an additional 15.98% of Kokam for approximately $5.5 million from other, minority shareholders during the third and fourth quarters of our 2004 fiscal year, and in the first quarter of 2005 bringing our total ownership percentage to 67.1%.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
EaglePicher Kokam Co., Ltd.

     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EaglePicher Kokam Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles, which as described in Note 2, are generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

1. Organization and Nature of Business

     EaglePicher Kokam Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 3, 1995 under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea. The Company is currently engaged mainly in manufacturing secondary rechargeable battery.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are summarized below.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the allowance for uncollectable accounts receivables, warranty accrual, inventory valuation and deferred tax valuation allowance. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

     In common with certain other Asian countries, the economic environment in the Republic of Korea continues to be volatile. In addition, the Korean government and the private sector continue to implement structural reforms to historical business practices, including corporate governance. The Company may be either directly or indirectly affected by these volatile economic conditions and the reform program described above. The accompanying financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact to date of the economic environment on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from management’s current assessment.

     The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Total interest expense incurred amounting to (Won)213 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 was wholly capitalized.

     Intangible Assets

     Intangible assets, comprising intellectual property rights (including patents and technology related to the battery production process and the like), are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

Intellectual property rights	10 years
Others	5 years

     Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Long-lived assets and intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized, based on the fair value of the asset.

     Accrued Severance Benefits

     Employees and directors with one year or more of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the Company, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are estimated assuming all eligible employees were to terminate their employment at the balance sheet date. The annual severance benefits expense charged to operations is calculated based on the net change in the accrued severance benefits payable at the balance sheet date, plus the actual payments made during the year.

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenues from the sale of the Company’s products are recognized when: i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, ii) delivery has occurred to the customers, iii) the sale price to the customer is fixed or determinable and iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

     Research and Development Costs

     Certain costs incurred in connection with the purchase of equipment and facilities used in the Company’s research and development activities are capitalized into property, plant and equipment, to the extent that they have alternative future uses. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has expensed (Won)395 million, (Won)66 million and (Won)9 million during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, for research and development costs which are included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Shipping and Handling Costs

     The Company includes shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administrative costs. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, amounted to (Won)14 million, (Won)25 million and (Won)34 million, respectively.

     Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 amounted to (Won)6 million, (Won)74 million and (Won)23 million, respectively.

     Income Taxes

     The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities created by temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences, including available net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The total income tax provision includes current tax expenses under applicable tax regulations and the change in the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

     Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method whereby they reduce income taxes in the period the assets giving rise to such credits are placed in service. To the extent such credits are not currently utilized, deferred tax assets, subject to considerations about the need for a valuation allowance, are recognized for the amount carried forward.

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

     Derivative Financial Instruments

     All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or stockholders’ equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income), depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge.

     At the time the company designates a hedging relationship, it defines the method it will use to assess the hedge’s effectiveness in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or offsetting cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged.

     The Company formally documents all hedging relationships between the derivatives designated as hedges and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedging activities. The Company links all hedges that are designated as cash flow hedges to the specific forecasted transaction. The Company also assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives designated as hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.

     The derivatives designated as cash flow hedges include foreign exchange forward contracts, which are used for reducing the risk arising from the changes in anticipated cash flow from expected transactions in foreign currency.

     Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges for forecasted transactions are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in current period earnings.

Continued;

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

     The derivatives designated for trading comprise cross-currency swap contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts. Such contracts are marked-to-market with changes in value, including premiums paid or received, recognized in other income (expense) as foreign exchange gain (loss).

     Deferred Bond Issuance Costs

     Costs that are directly related to the issuance of bonds are capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, trade and notes receivable, short-term borrowings, notes and accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities, approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities. The Company estimates the fair values of its long-term debt, including the current portion, based on either the market value or the discounted amounts of future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental debt rates for similar liabilities. The fair values of derivative instruments are estimated based on market quotations.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 143, “Accounting for Retirement Obligations". This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted FAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of FAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”. The interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee. The provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantor’s obligations do not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 did not have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position as at and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on when and how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect EITF Issue No. 00-21 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

     On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity and is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The Statement is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position.

Continued;

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

     The Statement affects accounting for 1) mandatorily redeemable shares of stock, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets, 2) put options and forward purchase contracts involving instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares of stock in exchange for cash or other assets, and 3) instruments that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling the instruments and the capital structure of entities, all of whose shares are mandatorily redeemable. The Company does not currently have any financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Therefore, there is no impact of this statement on the Company’s financial statements.

3. United States Dollar Amounts

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

11. Income Taxes, continued

     The statutory income tax rate, including tax surcharges, applicable to the Company was approximately 30.8% in 2001. The statutory income tax rate was amended to 29.7% effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002 in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law enacted in December 2001. Accordingly, deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 were calculated based on the enacted rate of 29.7%. In December 2003 the statutory income tax rate was further amended to 27.5% effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2005. Therefore, deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2003 were calculated considering the change of effective tax rate beginning January 1, 2005.

12. Stockholder’s Equity

     Common Stock

     The authorized share capital of the Company is 400,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of (Won)500 as of December 31, 2002 and 2003. The issued and outstanding capital stock is 41,709000 shares and 41,195,600 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

12. Stockholder’s Equity, continued

     The Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea requires the Company to appropriate a portion of retained earnings as a legal reserve an amount equal to a minimum of 10% of its cash dividends until such reserve equals 50% of its capital stock. The reserve is not available for dividends but may be transferred to capital stock through an appropriate resolution by the Company’s board of directors or used to reduce accumulated deficit, if any, through an appropriate resolution by the Company’s stockholders.

     Pursuant to the Special Tax Treatment Control Law, the Company was required to appropriate, as a reserve for business rationalization, amounts equal to the tax reductions arising from tax exemptions and tax credits. This reserve was not available for payment of cash dividends, but may be transferred to capital stock through an appropriate resolution by the Company’s board of directors or used to reduce accumulated deficit, if any, through an appropriate resolution by the Company’s stockholders. Effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002, the Special Tax Treatment Control Law was amended and this reserve is available for payment of cash dividends

13. Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

     Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive common shares. Therefore, earnings per share is same as diluted earnings per share.

     At December 31, 2003, the Company is provided with repayment guarantees from Kookmin Bank amounting to US$1,000 thousand.

15. Stock Purchase Option Plan

     On March 30, 2000, the Company’s shareholders approved the stock purchase option plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and directors. Thereafter, the Company has granted certain employees options to purchase 1,029 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of W2,100 per share. 262 thousand stock options granted to an employee were forfeited as the employee left the Company.

     Continued;

15. Stock Purchase Option Plan, continued

     The fair value of the options at the date of the grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In accordance with the Plan, options are vested at the conclusion of three years of continued

EXHIBIT 9.01(a)

employment. Upon vesting, options are exercisable between three to seven years from the grant date.

     Because the fair values of the options at the dates of the grants were less than the exercise prices, no stock compensation expenses has been recognized since the options were granted.

16. Related Party Transactions

     Significant transactions made in the normal course of business during 2002 and 2003 with related parties include sales of (Won)8,806 million and (Won)1,020 million to Shanghai Green Cell Energy S&T Co., Ltd., respectively, and the related account balances of December 31, 2002 and 2003 include trade accounts receivable of (Won)4,843 million and (Won)200 million, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(i) Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Balance Sheet combines EaglePicher’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2004 with Kokam’s historical unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 and gives effect to the Kokam Acquisition as if it had occurred as of August 31, 2004.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Statement of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 combines the historical unaudited consolidated statement of income (loss) for EaglePicher for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 with Kokam’s historical unaudited statement of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Statement of Income (Loss) for the year ended November 30, 2003 combines the historical audited consolidated statement of income for EaglePicher for the year ended November 30, 2003, with Kokam’s historical audited statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2003. Both Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Statements of Income (Loss) give effect to the Kokam Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 1, 2002, the first day of EaglePicher’s fiscal year 2003.

(ii) Preliminary Purchase Price

The purchase price of the Kokam Acquisition is estimated as follows (in millions):

Amount paid to acquire 51.1% from majority shareholder	$	6,195
Amount paid to acquire 15.2% from other shareholders		5,718
Acquisition related expenses incurred		2,328
	$	14,241

The final purchase price is dependent on the actual acquisition related costs, all of which will be determined within one year of the acquisition.

EXHIBIT 9.01(b)

The preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on EaglePicher’s final analysis, is as follows (in millions):

Net assets acquired	$	13,580
Customer relationships and identified technology		4,325
In process research and development		817
Minority interest		(4,481	)
	$	14,241

EaglePicher’s management performed an allocation of the total purchase price of the Kokam Acquisition to certain of its individual assets and liabilities. In addition to the value assigned to in-process research and development projects and tangible assets, specific intangible assets were identified and valued. The identifiable intangible assets consist of acquired completed technology and customer relationships. Estimates of these balances are subject to change following an independent appraisal which is currently on-going. For purposes of these pro forma Combining condensed financial statements, estimated values as of November 30, 2004 have been used.

The $0.8 million amount allocated to acquired in-process research and development represents the purchased in-process technology for projects that, as of the date of the acquisition, had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. Based on preliminary assessments, the value of these projects was determined by estimating the resulting net cash flows from the sale of products resulting from the completion of the projects, reduced by the portion of the revenue attributable to developed technology and the percentage of completion of the project. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to their present value at appropriate discount rates.

The amounts allocated to acquired in-process research and development are charged to the statement of operations in the period the acquisition is consummated. The related amortization of identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Statement of Income (Loss).

As part of the Kokam acquisition, the sum of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the cost of the Kokam Acquisition. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS No. 142”) that excess has been allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts assigned to completed technology and customer relationships.

(iii) Pro Forma Adjustments

Acquisition

During the second quarter of 2004, we signed a share purchase agreement to buy 51.1% of the equity securities of Kokam Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Kokam”) from its majority

shareholder. Kokam is a lithium-ion battery and battery equipment manufacturer based in South Korea. Under the provisions of this agreement, we paid $1.0 million in July 2004 as a good-faith non-refundable fee toward the total purchase price of approximately $6.2 million for the 51.1% interest. In December 2004, we closed this share purchase. Also, during the third quarter of 2004, we purchased additional shares of Kokam for approximately $4.3 million. As of August 31, 2004, we accounted for our interest in the outstanding equity securities of Kokam at cost.

After completing the share purchase in December 2004, our ownership interest exceeded 50%. The Kokam share purchase agreement provides for an earn-out arrangement where the seller will receive ten times 1% of EBITDA (as defined in the share purchase agreement) for the first five years after closing with a maximum amount payable of approximately $16.3 million (this amount is payable in South Korean Won and therefore subject to foreign exchange fluctuations).

In addition, we signed a license agreement with Kokam for the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell all of Kokam’s products and to utilize all of Kokam’s technology to sell into government markets throughout the world. Under the provisions of the license agreement, we paid $4.0 million in July 2004 and another $4.0 million in December 2004.

Based on the final purchase price, finalization of the valuation and purchase price allocation, determination of the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and other factors, the pro forma adjustments may differ materially from those presented in these Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Financial Statements. A change in the value assigned to long-term tangible and intangible assets and liabilities could result in a reallocation of the purchase price and a change in the pro forma adjustments. The statement of income (loss) effect of these changes will depend on the nature and amount of the assets or liabilities adjusted.

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Condensed Financial Statements:

(a) To eliminate amounts paid as of August 31, 2004 for the acquisition of Kokam shares and for the purchase of a license. These amounts were included in other assets on EaglePicher’s balance sheet.

(b) To record the allocation of the purchase price as described in (ii) above.

(c) To record the amortization resulting from the completed technology and customer relationships, which have estimated useful lives of seven years.

(d) To reflect increased interest expense based on the estimated average additional borrowings that would have been outstanding by EaglePicher to fund the Kokam Acquisition.
