ADVANCED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. ("ABAT" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 16, 1984.
On May 6, 2004, the Company completed a share exchange (the "Exchange") with the shareholders of Cashtech Investment Limited (“Cashtech”), a British Virgin Islands Corporation, who, at the time, owned 70% interest of Harbin Zhong Qiang Power-Tech Co., Ltd. (“Harbin ZQPT”), a limited liability company established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). As result of this share exchange transaction, there was change of control in the Company as the shareholders of Cashtech became the majority shareholders of the Company. The transaction had been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, Cashtech was treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes.
On January 6, 2006, the minority shareholders of Harbin ZQPT transferred the remaining 30% of their interests in Harbin ZQPT to Cashtech in exchange for 11,780,594 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As result of this transfer, Cashtech now owns 100% of the capital stock of Harbin ZQPT.
On May 4, 2009, the Company acquired 100% interest of Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi ZQ”).
On January 6, 2011, the Company, through its wholly own subsidiary, Harbin ZQPT, acquired all of the assets of Shenzhen Zhongqiang New Energy Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (“Shenzhen ZQ”).
On August 20, 2002, Heilongjiang Zhongqiang Power-Tech Co., Ltd (“HLJ ZQPT”), was incorporated under the laws of the PRC. HLJ ZQPT is owned by our Chairman, Mr. Fu, and other individuals but controlled by Harbin ZQPT through a series of contractual arrangements that transferred all of the benefits and all of the responsibilities for the operations of HLJ ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT. During 2009 HLJ ZQPT also transferred to Harbin ZQPT all of its rights in the real property on which HLJ carries on its operations. The Company is in the process of transferring all of the other assets of HLJ ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT, but has not yet obtained all of the necessary government approvals. Harbin ZQPT accounts for HLJ ZQPT as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under ASC 810 “Consolidation.” Accordingly, Harbin ZQPT consolidates HLJ ZQPT’s results, assets and liabilities.
The Company is engaged in design, manufacture and distribution of rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cashtech, Harbin ZQPT, Wuxi ZQ and the VIE, HLJ ZQPT. The Company’s main operations are located in the PRC.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cashtech Inc., Harbin ZQPT, Wuxi ZQ, Shenzhen ZQ and the VIE, HLJ ZQPT. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Variable Interest Entity
The accounts of Heilongjiang ZQPT have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company because Heilongjiang ZQPT is a variable interest entity with respect to Harbin ZQPT, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Harbin ZQPT is party to five agreements dated September 8, 2004 with the owners of the registered equity of Heilongjiang ZQPT and with Heilongjiang ZQPT. In summary, the five agreements contain the following terms:
|
·
|
Consulting Services Agreement and Operating Agreement. These two agreements provide that Harbin ZQPT will be fully responsible for the management of Heilongjiang ZQPT, both financial and operational. Harbin ZQPT has assumed responsibility for the debts incurred by Heilongjiang ZQPT and for any shortfall in its registered capital. In exchange for these services and undertakings, Heilongjiang ZQPT pays a fee to Harbin ZQPT equal to the net profits of Heilongjiang ZQPT. In addition, Heilongjiang ZQPT pledges all of its assets, including accounts receivable, to Harbin ZQPT. Meanwhile, Heilongjiang ZQPT's shareholders pledged the equity interests of Heilongjiang ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT to secure the payment of the Fee.
|
|
·
|
Proxy Agreement. In this agreement, the shareholders of Heilongjiang ZQPT granted an irrevocable proxy to the person designated by Harbin ZQPT to exercise the voting rights and other rights of shareholder.
|
|
·
|
Option Agreement. In this agreement, the shareholders of Heilongjiang ZQPT granted to Harbin ZQPT the right to purchase all of their equity interest in the registered capital of Heilongjiang ZQPT or the assets of Heilongjiang ZQPT. The option may be exercised whenever the transfer is permitted under the laws of the PRC. The purchase price shall be equal to the original paid-in price of the Purchased Equity Interest by the Transferor, unless the applicable PRC laws and regulations require appraisal of the equity interests or stipulate other restrictions on the purchase price of equity interests. The agreement also contains covenants designed to prevent any material change occurring in the legal or financial condition of Heilongjiang ZQPT without the consent of Harbin ZQPT.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
|
·
|
Equity Pledge Agreement. In this agreement, Heilongjiang ZQPT shareholders agree to pledge all the equity interest in Heilongjiang ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT as security for the performance of the obligation under the Consulting Services Agreement and the payment of Consulting Services Fees under each agreement.
|
Harbin ZQPT may terminate the agreements at will. Heilongjiang ZQPT may only terminate the agreements if (a) there is an unremedied breach by Harbin ZQPT, (b) the operations of Harbin ZQPT are terminated, (c) Heilongjiang ZQPT loses its business license, or (d) circumstances arise that materially and adversely affect the performance or objectives of the Agreement. The Consulting Services Agreement, under which all revenues are assigned from Heilongjiang ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT, and the Equity Pledge Agreement have no expiration date. The other three agreements terminate on September 4, 2014 unless extended by the parties.
In sum, the agreements transfer to Harbin ZQPT all of the benefits and all of the risk arising from the operations of Heilongjiang ZQPT, as well as complete managerial authority over the operations of Heilongjiang ZQPT. Harbin ZQPT is the guarantor of all of the obligations of Heilongjiang ZQPT. Since 2004 all of the funds used by Heilongjiang ZQPT to expand and operate its business have been provided by Harbin ZQPT. By reason of the relationship described in these agreements, Heilongjiang ZQPT is a variable interest entity with respect to Harbin ZQPT because the following characteristics identified in ASC 810-10-15-14 are present:
|
-
|
The holders of the equity investment in Heilongjiang ZQPT lack the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities that have a significant effect on the success of Heilongjiang ZQPT, having assigned their voting rights and all managerial authority to Harbin ZQPT. (ASC 810-10-15-14(b)(1)).
|
|
-
|
The holders of the equity investment in Heilongjiang ZQPT lack the obligation to absorb the expected losses of Heilongjiang ZQPT, having assigned to Harbin ZQPT all revenue and responsibility for all payables. (ASC 810-10-15-14(b)(2).
|
|
-
|
The holders of the equity investment in Heilongjiang ZQPT lack the right to receive the expected residual returns of Heilongjiang ZQPT, having granted to Harbin ZQPT all revenue as well as an option to purchase the equity interests at a fixed price. (ASC 810-10-15-14(b)(3)).
|
Because the relationship between Heilongjiang ZQPT and Harbin ZQPT is entirely contractual, the Company’s interest in Heilongjiang ZQPT depends on the enforceability of those agreements under the laws of the PRC. We are not aware of any judicial decision as to the enforceability of similar agreements under PRC law. However, as the owners of the registered equity of Heilongjiang ZQPT are our Chairman, his spouse, and three close associates, we do not believe that there is a significant risk that Heilongjiang ZQPT will seek to terminate the relationship or otherwise breach the agreements. Accordingly, we believe that consolidation of the financial statements of Heilongjiang ZQPT with those of the Company is appropriate.
The carrying amount and classification of Heilongjiang ZQPT’s assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
The Company is pursuing governmental approval of the transfer of all of the assets of Heilongjiang ZQPT to Harbin ZQPT. To date, all of the real property interests have been transferred. Management believes that transfer of all of the assets will be completed in 2012, at which time the VIE relationship will be terminated.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, loan receivables, other receivables, advance to suppliers, short-term loan, accounts payable, advance from customers, accrued expenses, other payables and deposits for property, plant and equipment, approximate their fair market value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company uses Level 3 method to measure fair value of its warrant liability. See Note 11 for disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the warrant liability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s warrant liability accounts changed as follows:

|
The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be re-measured at fair value at a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820.
Goodwill
Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets that are deemed to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Rather, they are assessed for impairment. We perform impairment testing on the intangible assets whenever events or changes indicate that the fair value of these intangible might be impacted. We perform the goodwill impairment assessment on the last day of the each fiscal year. To test goodwill for impairment, we first assign the recorded goodwill to one of our two reporting units, the battery operations and the electric vehicle operations, by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit as a whole with the fair values of the unit’s identifiable net assets. We apply the following two-step process to each reporting unit:
|
-
|
Step 1: We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit (UFV) in the manner described above and compare it with the unit’s book value (UBV), which equals the recorded amounts of assets and allocated goodwill less liabilities. We measure the fair value of the reporting unit by projecting five years of net cash flow from the reporting unit then discounting to present value. When UFV is greater than UBV, there is no impairment, and the test is complete. When UFV is less than UBV, then we go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
Step 2: We estimate the implied fair value (GFV) of the reporting unit’s goodwill by repeating the process performed at acquisition. This requires subtracting estimated current fair values of the unit’s identifiable net assets from the unit’s estimated fair value (UFV), and comparing the difference with the carrying amount of the goodwill (GBV). When GFV is greater than GBV, goodwill is not impaired. When GFV is less than GBV, we record an impairment write-off equal to the difference.
|
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when title and risks have passed, which is generally at the date of shipment and when collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company sells its products to customers who have passed the Company’s credit check. Sales agreements are signed with each customer. The purchase price of products is fixed in the agreement. The Company makes custom products based on sales agreements, so no returns are allowed. The Company provides warranty on the product for one year from the date of shipment only in the event of defects. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant defects, and replacements for defects have been minimal. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no sales returns and allowances have been recorded. Should returns increase in the future it would be necessary to adjust estimates, in which case recognition of revenues could be delayed. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as advance from customers.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Net sales of products represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added taxes (“VAT”), sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on majority of the Company’s products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales. Input VAT paid is recoverable from output VAT charged to customers.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The salaries of engineers and technical staff in our research and development division are included in research and development expense. The Company had $298,257 and $38,980 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and $444,058 and $86,420 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
Statutory Reserves
Under PRC law our Chinese subsidiaries are required to provide for a statutory general reserve, and are permitted to provide for an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. Each subsidiary is required to allocate at least 10% of its after tax profits as determined under PRC GAAP to the general reserve, but have the right to discontinue allocations to the general reserve when the balance of the general reserve has reached 50% of the subsidiary’s registered capital. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and the staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors of the subsidiary.
The aggregate balance of our subsidiaries’ general reserve funds at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $5,558,455 and $4,855,774, respectively. HLJ ZQPT did not contribute to this fund in the current period, since it has allocated the maximum required. None of the subsidiaries has contributed to the enterprise expansion fund or to the staff welfare and bonus fund. The balance of the general reserve fund cannot be distributed to the parent corporation except upon liquidation of the subsidiary, and will not be available for payment of dividends to the Company’s shareholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The functional currency of Harbin ZQPT, HLJ ZQPT and Wuxi ZQ is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing for the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income." Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310). This update requires new disclosures and enhances current disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. However, the following receivables are excluded from the scope of this amendment: receivables measured at fair value with changes included in earnings and receivables measured at lower of cost or market and trade receivables with contractual maturities of one year or less that arose from the sale of goods or services. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2011.
In December 2010, FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011 and have disclosed our acquisition of Shenzhen ZQ accordingly
In January 2010, FASB issued an amendment regarding improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. There was no impact from the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of income as the amendment only addresses disclosures.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In April 2010, FASB issued an amendment to Stock Compensation. The amendment clarifies that an employee stock-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Our adoption of this guidance does not have impact on the consolidated financial statements since our stock-based payment awards have an exercise price denominated in the same currency of the market in which our Company shares are traded.
In December 2010, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on goodwill impairment testing. The amendments modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In making that determination, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The amendments were effective January 1, 2011 and the Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011 which did not have a material impact in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements which the company included in its interim and annual financial statements in 2010. Certain disclosure requirements relating to fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were deferred until January 1, 2011. These new requirements did not have an impact in the consolidated financial results as they relate only to additional disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about the fair value measurements. The amendments include the following:
|
1.
|
Those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.
|
|
2.
|
Those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.
|
The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. Nonpublic entities may apply the amendments in this Update early, but no earlier than for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of ASU No. 2011-04 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The presentation option under current GAAP to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity has been eliminated.
The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with amendments is already permitted. The Company already complies with this presentation.
3. ACQUISITION
On January 6, 2011, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Harbin ZQPT, acquired all of the assets of Shenzhen ZQ. In exchange for the assets of Shenzhen ZQ, Harbin ZQPT paid to Shenzhen ZQ 135,000,000 Renminbi (approximately $20.5 million), of which 111,250,000 Renminbi (approximately $16.9 million) are being used to satisfy the liabilities of Shenzhen ZQ.
Shenzhen ZQ manufactures small rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries. The acquisition was a strategic move to expand the Company’s product variety and manufacturing capacity. In addition, Shenzhen is a distribution center for batteries, by having a presence in Shenzhen, it will benefit the Company’s overall strategic development plan.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition by the Company. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the excess of the value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price is recorded as “other income (expense): gain on bargain purchase” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Acquisition-related costs, such as professional fees and administrative costs are recorded as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and the services rendered.

3. ACQUISITION (Continued)
The purchase price for the assets of Shenzhen ZQ was allocated to tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and a portion of the purchase price was paid to vendors for equipment that Shenzhen ZQ committed to acquire. The estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated their historical cost basis. The excess of the purchase price over net assets and payment to vendors for equipment is recorded in goodwill. The Company also acquired an established customer list and certain technology of Shenzhen ZQ, the Company is in the process of appraising the fair value of these intangible assets and expects to complete the appraisal by the end of third quarter of 2011. Goodwill will be adjusted upon completion of the fair value appraisal of the acquired intangible assets of Shenzhen ZQ.
The purchase price paid for the assets of Shenzhen ZQ has been preliminarily allocated as follows:

4. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an equity investment agreement (“Agreement”) with Beyond E-Tech, Inc (BET) to acquire 49% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BET for a total consideration of $1,500,000. BET is a newly-organized company that imports and distributes cell phones in the United States. Pursuant to the Agreement, during any period of time when the Company is a shareholder of BET, BET shall exclusively market products for resale that use ABAT’s rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries.
The Company has significant influence on BET and therefore accounts for its investment in BET under the equity method. According to the Agreement, the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of BET, including a right of approval of its operating budget, veto power over large capital expenses, and other management controls. Net loss on this investment using the equity method was $923 and $12,887 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Net loss on this investment was $437 and $1,876 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The condensed balance sheet and income statement information of the investment in affiliate is not significant.
The Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of this asset in accordance with ASC 480. There was no impairment loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the comparative periods in 2010.

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,035,742 and $2,019,970, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $844,818 and $1,790,193, respectively. Depreciation expense included in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $834,785 and $1,620,233, respectively. Depreciation expense included in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $401,440 and $956,929, respectively.
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction and design fees incurred for the Company’s new plant and equipment. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for its intended use. No interest has been capitalized in construction in process as of June 30, 2011 as the amount is insignificant.
In 2010 the Company entered into various agreements to purchase equipment and machinery in an effort to expand its production. In addition, in January 2011 the Company purchased a group of factories and the related land use right in Dongguan City for approximately $26 million, all of which except for approximate $2,723,000 was paid at that time. The Company expects to pay the remainder amount by the end of 2011. As of June 30, 2011, the entire purchase price was included in construction in progress because it is in the process of obtaining the title and related legal documents. The Company has not allocated the purchase price between buildings, machinery and the land use right because the fair value analysis necessary to determine the appropriate allocation has not been completed.
6. DEPOSIT FOR INVESTMENT
In January 2011, Harbin ZQPT, a subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Shenzhen ZQ for a purchase consideration of RMB 135,000,000 (approximately $20 million). The initial deposit of $11,721,468 (equivalent to RMB 77,500,000) as of December 31, 2010 served as a portion of the purchase consideration and has been allocated among the acquired assets in the manner described in Note 3.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS - OTHERS
Intangible assets consist of land use rights, patents and marketing network resources. All land in the People’s Republic of China is government owned and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants the user a “land use right” (the Right) to use the land and the power line underneath. The Company leases two pieces of land from the PRC Government for a period from August 2003 to September 2043, on which the office and production facilities of Heilongjiang ZQPT are situated. In addition, the Company also leases two pieces of land from the PRC Government for a period from July 2003 to July 2053 and from September 2002 to June 2057 respectively, on which the office and production facilities of Wuxi ZQ are situated. The Company leases the power lines from the local government for a period from July 2003 to July 2013.
Rights to use land and power and patent rights are stated at fair market value less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the patents over a 3-10 year period. The Company evaluates finite-lived intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets, and goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no impairment of intangible assets has been recorded.

(1) 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) on August 24, 2004. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of the participants of the Plan (the "Participants") to those of the Company's stockholders, and by providing the Participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Company has reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock for the options and awards under the Plan.
Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors, at any time and from time to time, may grant shares of stock to eligible persons in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine.
The Committee appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan shall have the authority to determine all matters relating to the options to be granted under the Plan including selection of the individuals to be granted awards or stock options, the number of stock, the date, the termination of the stock options or awards, the stock option term, vesting schedules and all other terms and conditions thereof.
The Company has issued all 5,000,000 shares provided in the Plan in the form of grants of restricted common stock. As of June 30, 2011, 3,440,000 of those shares had vested and no shares have been cancelled. A summary of the status of the Company’s unearned stock compensation under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2011, and changes for the six months ended June 30, 2011, is presented below:

As of June 30, 2011, the weighted average period that the unearned compensation cost is expected to be recognized in earnings for the 2004 Plan is 7.5 years.
In addition, the compensation cost recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to shares issued to non-employee consultants under the 2004 Plan in prior years and current period was $469,274. The Company’s contracts with these consultants have terms ranging from 60 months to 120 months. All shares granted were fully vested and nonforfeitable at the date on which the Company entered into the consulting contract with each non-employee. However, following ASC 505-50-30-11 and 505-50-30-12, the Company has determined that the disincentives for nonperformance are not sufficiently large to establish a performance commitment, and that, accordingly, the measurement date for the shares is the date on which performance is complete, which is the date of grant. The Company has continued to account for the shares as a prepaid expense, amortized over the terms of the contracts. The compensation expense relating to shares issued to non-employee consultants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $29,094 and $58,188, respectively.

(2) 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) on April 24, 2006. The 2006 Plan became effective on April 18, 2006. The number of shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan shall not exceed 8,000,000 shares and shares of stock and options may be granted to the eligible persons at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Committee administering the plan. Incentive stock options (“ISO”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSO”), or a combination thereof may be granted but ISOs can only be granted to the Company’s employees. The Committee can also grant shares of restricted stock or performance shares (a performance share is equivalent in value to a share of stock) to eligible persons from time to time.
The exercise price for each ISO awarded under the 2006 Plan shall be equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted and be 110% of the fair market value if the eligible person owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations. The exercise price of a NQSO shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
No option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant and each option shall expire at such time as the Committee determines at the time of grant. The eligible person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations shall exercise his/her option before the fifth anniversary date of its grant.
Options shall vest at such timed and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee; provided, however, unless a different vesting period is provided by the Committee at or before the grant of an option, the options will vest on the first anniversary of the grant.
Options granted under the 2006 Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each participant.
The Company has issued 7,265,711 of the shares provided in the Plan in the form of grants of restricted common stock. As of June 30, 2011, 2,190,475 of those shares had vested and 3,000 shares have been cancelled.

(3) Recent Stock-Based Compensation Activities
There were 340,000 shares of stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The fair value of stock options was calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Expected life
|
5.0 years
|
Expected volatility
|
89.13%
|
Risk free interest rate
|
2.46%
|
Dividend yield
|
0%
|
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rate. Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical stock price using the expected life of the grant. Due to a lack of employee exercise behavior in the past, the expected life is based upon the maximum exercise period.

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company is generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on its taxable income. However, HLJ ZQPT is located in a specially designated technology zone which allows foreign-invested enterprises a five-year income tax holiday. HLJ ZQPT enjoyed a two-year tax exemption through December 31, 2007 and an additional 50% income tax reduction from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010.
On March 16, 2007, National People’s Congress passed a new corporate income tax law, which was effective on January 1, 2008. This new corporate income tax unified the corporate income tax rate to 25%, and included cost deductions and tax incentive policies for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises in China. According to the new corporate income tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate of the HLJ ZQPT decreased to 12.5% from 2008 to 2010. HLJ ZQPT became subject to the full statutory tax rate of 25% on January 1, 2011.

These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2027 through 2030. There are also deferred tax asset of $272,181 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, resulting from temporary difference on stock options to employees.

3) Accounting for Warrants
The Company has determined that both the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants issued in the 2010 Financing met the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and ASC 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and therefore have been classified as equity instruments on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
As to the offerings completed in 2008 and 2009, however, both the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants contain a covenant that, in the event of a “fundamental transaction,” if the securities to be issued upon exercise of the warrants will not be listed on a national securities exchange, the warrant holder has the option to force the Company to purchase the warrants at present value. The warrants define a “fundamental transaction” to include:
|
i.
|
any merger, sale of assets, tender or exchange offer, reclassification of the common stock or compulsory share exchange, if
|
|
ii.
|
the transaction is either an all-cash transaction, a “going private” transaction, or a transaction in which the Company’s common stock will be exchanged for securities that are not traded on a national securities exchange.
|
Under those circumstances, the warrant holder could require the Company to redeem the warrant by paying an amount of cash equal to the value of the Warrant on the date preceding the fundamental transaction, determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Because, under those circumstances, the Company would be forced to settle the warrants in cash, the warrants do not meet the conditions for equity classification set forth in FASB ASC 815-40-15. Therefore, these warrants have been classified as warrant liability.
For the foregoing reasons, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as an offset to the equity recorded as a result of the offerings. The fair value of the warrants was determined in the following manner:

August 2008 Offering. The fair value of the warrants at the grant date was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: Volatility 73.06%, Risk free interest rate 3.27% for August 8, 2008 Placement and August, 15, 2008 Placement, and Expected term of 5 years. The fair value of those warrants at the grant date was calculated at $7,520,805.
June 2009 Offering. The fair value of the warrants at the grant date was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: Volatility: 91.50%; Risk free interest rate: 2.55% and 0.29% for Series A and Series B&C warrants, respectively with respect to June 1, 2009 issuance and 2.69% and 0.31% for Series A and Series B&C warrants, respectively with respect to June 15, 2009 issuance; Expected term: 5.5 years for Series A Warrant and 0.5 years for Series B warrants. The fair value of those warrants at the grant date was calculated at $9,514,432. In addition, 430,656 Series C Warrants, whose exercisability was contingent on exercise of Series B Warrants, vested in December 2009. The fair value of the warrants at the grant date was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: Volatility: 90.9%; Risk free interest rate: 2.24%, Expected term: 5.0 years. The fair value of those warrants at the grant date was calculated at $997,887.
October 2009 Offering. The fair value of the warrants at the grant date was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: Volatility: 89.08%; Risk free interest rate: 2.21%,; Expected term: 5.0 years. The fair value of those warrants at the grant date was calculated at $4,242,032.

13. LITIGATION
Sui-Yang Huang vs. ABAT
On September 30, 2009, the Company was named as a defendant in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. District Court”). The action, brought by the Company’s former Chief Technological Officer, Mr. Sui-yang Huang, alleges that based on his employment contract, he should have been paid certain additional stock-based benefits by November 30, 2008; in an Amended Complaint filed in November 2009, Mr. Huang also purported to state ancillary quasi-contract and tort claims related to his contract claim and his eventual dismissal from the Company. Mr. Huang’s Amended Complaint demanded between approximately $1.25 and $5 million in compensatory damages, plus an unspecified amount of punitive and other damages. The Company believes that all of Mr. Huang’s claims are without merit.
The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, both on forum non conveniens grounds and for failure to state a claim for relief. On May 26, 2010, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens grounds. The dismissal was subject to the following conditions: (a) Mr. Huang is able, if he so chooses, to bring a similar action against the Company in a court near his residence in China, (b) the Chinese forum accepts jurisdiction over the dispute, and (c) the Company agrees to (1) consent to a Chinese court’s jurisdiction for these civil actions, (2) toll any applicable statute of limitations for 120 days after the Court’s dismissal on forum non conveniens grounds, (3) make available in the courts of China any evidence or witnesses in its possession, custody, or control in the United States that a Chinese court hearing these cases may deem relevant, and (4) pay any final, post-appeal judgment awarded against it by a Chinese court. Huang did not file a notice of appeal of the Court’s order dismissing the action.

13. LITIGATION (Continued)
Thereafter, on August 9, 2010 Mr. Huang refiled part, but, not all, of his claims in the People’s Court of Bao’an District, Shenzhen (the “Chinese Trial Court”). The Chinese Trial Court refused to accept the case, holding that since the Company is incorporated in the United States (and, specifically, in Delaware), it was not subject to the jurisdiction of that Court. Huang appealed, but the appeal was dismissed and the original decision of the Chinese Trial Court was affirmed. The case was thereafter sent back to the U.S. District Court from China. In March 2011 the United States District Court denied Mr. Huang’s request to reinstate the case in New York, finding that jurisdiction remains available in China. To date Mr. Huang has not renewed his effort to file the case in the Chinese Trial Court.
SFG vs. ABAT
In September 2008, Susquehanna Financial Group, LLLP (“SFG”) commenced an action against the Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. SFG alleges that it was a party to two contracts with the Company, pursuant to which SFG alleges that it was entitled to serve as financial advisor with respect to any offering of securities by the Company completed prior to March 2009. SFG alleges that the Company failed to afford SFG the opportunity to serve as its financial advisor in connection with the private placement by the Company in August 2008. SFG alleges that it is entitled to damages in the amount of $1,359,872 and a warrant to purchase 81,882 share of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $8.00 per share. The Company has answered the complaint and denied that SFG was entitled to serve as financial advisor in connection with the August 2008 private placement by reason of the fact that SFG had terminated its agreements with the Company, had waived any continuing rights under the contracts, and had acted in bad faith in connection with the services it undertook to perform for the Company. The Parties are currently in the midst of the discovery process. Once discovery is complete, the Court will issue a schedule for the trial date.
Class Actions
Since April 2011 four class actions have been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of the Company’s senior executive officers, asserting violations of the United States securities laws. The complaints allege that the Company, in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, made material misrepresentations and omissions. The plaintiffs in the actions seek to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between November 24, 2008 and March 30, 2011. The applications of plaintiffs to be appointed “lead plaintiff” in the consolidated action is pending before the Court. No specific amount of damages has been alleged. The Company and its senior management believe that the claims are without merit. They intend to mount a vigorous defense to the actions and to seek their prompt dismissal after a consolidated complaint is filed.
Derivative Action
In May 2011 actions were commenced in the Supreme Court of New York State and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York purporting to be derivative actions on behalf of ABAT. The actions allege that the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the matters that are the subject of the Class Actions described above. No specific amount of damages has been alleged. The Company and its directors believe that the claims are without merit. They intend to mount a vigorous defense to the actions and to seek their prompt dismissal.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange.

The Company’s sales, purchases and expenses transactions are denominated in RMB and all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China, the central bank of China. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
The Company entered into various agreements to purchase equipment and machinery in an effort to expand its production in 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company made a total payment of $3,931,596 on those equipment and machinery and a payment of $24,506,846 for the factories and land in Dongguan city. Additionally, the Company entered into several contracts and already made payment of $29,890,381 for ongoing construction projects. The Company still has the commitment to pay the remaining contract amount of $18 million in 2011.
The Company entered into a lease agreement with Pantheon Realty, Inc. to lease its prior administrative office. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $4,000 monthly from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2011. The Company entered into another lease agreement with 15 W 39th St. NY LLC to lease its administrative office in New York City from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2012.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company has two operating segments, which are batteries and electric vehicles segments.
The batteries segment develops, manufactures, and markets rechargeable Polymer Lithium-Ion (PLI) products. The batteries segment includes the operation of Heilongjiang ZQPT and Shenzhen ZQ.
The electric vehicles segment develops and manufactures various types of electric vehicles through the operation of Wuxi ZQ. Wuxi ZQ owns three types of products listed in the E-Bike directory, with more than 20 different specifications, including electric bicycles, electric scooters, and various electric sports utility vehicles. Wuxi ZQ products are exported to the countries and regions in Europe, the United States and Asia.
The measurement of segment income is determined as earnings before income taxes. The measurement of segment assets is based on the total assets of the segment, including intercompany advances among the PRC entities. Segment income and segment assets are reported to the Company’s (“CODM”) using the same accounting policies as those used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Historically, there have been sale transactions between the two operating segments in addition to intersegment advances.
