NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (RESTATED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Article 10 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “ABAT”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cashtech Inc., Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi ZQ”) and Harbin Zhongqiang Power-Tech Co., Ltd. (“Harbin ZQPT”). In addition, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heilongjiang Zhongqiang Power-Tech Co., Ltd. (“Heilongjiang ZQPT”), which is a variable interest entity with respect to Harbin 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, the 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 the management include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 then 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 and other payables, 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 17 for disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the warrant liability. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company’s warrant liability accounts changed as followed:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Opening balance	$	11,824,055		$	17,221,335
(Income) Loss included in earnings	$	128,176	*	$	(5,269,104	)*
Closing balance	$	11,952,230		$	11,952,230
_______________
* Reported on Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income: Other Income (Expenses): Change in Fair Value of Warrants.

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Risk of losses

The Company is exposed to potential risks of losses that may result from business interruptions, injury to others (including employees) and damage to property. These losses may be uninsured, especially due to the fact that the Company’s operations are in China, where business insurance is not readily available. The Company would recognize the potential losses and make the related accruals if: (i) information is available and indicates that such loss is probable and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company is not aware of any potential losses that need to be accrued on the financial statements.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivables are stated at net realizable value. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the management’s assessment of the recoverability of accounts and other receivables. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable and the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance for accounts receivable is $1,148,706 and $570,182 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively.

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 measure the fair value of the reporting unit by comparing a multiple of the unit’s earnings with multiples of comparable entities that have observable market values. 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. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful lives and, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, including finite-lived intangibles and property and equipment, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with ASC 360. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue recognition 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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.

Product warranty

The Company provides product warranties to its customers that all equipment manufactured by it will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of shipment. The Company's costs and expenses in connection with such warranties has been minimal and, as of September 30 2010, no product warranty reserve was considered necessary.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock-Based compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (i.e. the vesting period of the grant). The fair value of shares granted is deemed to be the closing traded price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of options granted is determined by utilizing the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Generally shares issued to executives and employees will be vested over a certain service period. These shares will be amortized over the vesting period in accordance with ASC 718. The average vesting period for the shares issued to date has been 3.11 years, based on the terms of the employment agreements under which the stock was awarded. The stock-based compensation was $379,703 and $316,835 for the three months, and $1,136,276 and $1,346,769 for the nine months, ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 718. The fair value of the stock issued is used to measure the fair value of services received as the Company believes such approach is a more reliable method of measuring the fair value of the services. Fair value is measured based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is calculated and then reconciled as compensation expense over the requisite performance period. This amount is marked to market until all shares are vested by the non-employees.

Income tax

The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Foreign currency translation

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.

Recently issued accounting standards

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

9. INVESTMENT IN ADVANCE

On September 8, 2009, the Company’s board approved the execution of a letter of intent to acquire a battery company in Shenzhen. The Company has made a deposit in amount of RMB 10 million (approximately $1.49 million) as of September 30, 2010, and expects to complete the acquisition by the end of 2010.

10. DEPOSIT FOR LONG-TERM ASSETS

The Company entered into various agreements to purchase equipment and machinery in an effort to expand its production in 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the Company made total deposits in the amount of $2,130,952. The Company expects to pay the remaining contract amount of approximately $0.48 million by the end of 2010. The deposit will be reclassified to the respective accounts under fixed assets upon delivery and transfer of legal titles and the assets being placed in service.

11. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, no impairment of intangible assets has been recorded.

12. GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as result of the company acquiring the remaining 30% interest in Heilongjiang ZQPT in 2006. The Company applied step accounting by determining the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the price paid to acquire the 30% minority interest to all of its assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2010, no impairment of goodwill was recorded.

13. SHORT TERM BANK LOANS

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Wuxi ZQ in May 2009, it entered into two loans agreements in the aggregate amount of RMB 50,000,000 (approximately $7.3 million) with Huaxia Bank. Wuxi ZQ paid down one loan of RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $4.4 million) during the year ended December 31, 2009 and another loan of RMB 20,000,000 (approximately $2.9 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

(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 September 30, 2010, 2,370,000 of those shares had vested and no shares have been cancelled.

The Company’s contracts with these consultants have terms ranging from 60 months to 120 months. The fair value of the shares issued to non-employee consultants is calculated and then reconciled as compensation expense over the requisite performance period. This amount is marked to market until all shares are vested by the non-employees. The amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $29,094 and $29,094, respectively. The amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $87,281 and $108,468, respectively.

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.

15. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company is generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% and was, until January 2008, subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) 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 enjoys 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 unifies the corporate income tax rate to 25%, and includes 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.

A reconciliation of tax at United States federal statutory rate to provision for income tax recorded in the financial statements is as follows:

	For the Nine Months
	Ended September 30,
			2009

China income tax exemption		(12.5%)		(12.5%)
Other items (a)		(5.0%)		(1.1%)
Effective consolidated current income tax rate		7.5%		11.4%

(a) The (5.0%) represents $2,697,803 of corporate expenses incurred by the Company’s US office (excluding $5,269,104 other income due to change in fair value of warrants) that are not subject to PRC income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The (1.1%) represents $664,878 of corporate expenses incurred by the Company’s US office (excluding $4,241,549 other expense due to change in fair value of warrants) that are not subject to PRC income tax for nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The estimated tax savings as a result of our tax holidays for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $2,456,998 and $2,181,377, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share had the income tax been applied would decrease basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 from $0.51 to $0.47 and from $0.33 to $0.29, respectively.

15. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The Company was incorporated in the United States. It incurred a net operating loss for U.S. income tax purposes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The net operating loss carry forwards, including amortization of share-based compensation, for United States income tax purposes amounted to $2,697,803 and $2,936,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2027 through 2029. For United States income tax purposes, the valuation allowances for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $944,231 and $1,198,150, respectively.

In addition, there are net operating loss carry-forwards from Wuxi ZQ. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from these losses appear to be uncertain due to Wuxi ZQ’s limited operating history. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at September 30, 2010 for the temporary difference related to loss carry-forwards. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments. For PRC income tax purposes, the valuation allowances were $10,249 and $3,074,202 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The following table sets forth the components of deferred income taxes as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

All unvested stock awards were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they are dilutive. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had outstanding warrants of 6,825,113 and 9,175,725, respectively. Warrants were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the stock market price is below warrants’ exercise price for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, but were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. 340,000 outstanding options issued in 2009, with an exercise price below the market price during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they are dilutive. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 2 shares of preferred stock were diluted and included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.

17. EQUITY PLACEMENTS

Issuance of Preferred Stock

On September 21, 2010, the Company issued 300,500 shares to 84 employees for one-year service as incentive stock compensation according to its 2006 equity plan.

Stock Warrants

Following is a summary of the status of warrants activities as of September 30, 2010:

	Warrants		Weighted Average		Average Remaining		Aggregate Intrinsic
	Outstanding		Exercise Price		Life in years		Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2010		6,825,113	$	5.16		4.50	$	-
Granted		-		-		-		-
Forfeited		-		-		-		-
Exercised		-		-		-		-
Outstanding, September 30, 2010		6,825,113	$	5.16		3.75	$	-

The Company has determined that both the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants do not meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and ASC 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” Both instruments 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:

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. 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, and therefore have been classified as warrant liability.

19. LITIGATION

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 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 alleged 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 is 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.

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 and 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, which should be completed by the end of the year. Once discovery is complete, the Court will issue a schedule for the trial date.

20. 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 results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

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 September 30, 2010, the Company made a total down payment of $2,130,952 on those long-term assets. Additionally, the Company entered into several contracts and already made payment of $12,469,223 for ongoing construction projects. The Company still has the commitment to pay the remaining contract amount of $6.46 million in 2010.

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. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay $8,000, $8,200 and $8,405 monthly for the first, second and third year, respectively.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In July 2009, the Company signed a lease agreement with the Chairman of the Company, Mr Zhiguo Fu, to lease a house owned by Mr. Fu for the purpose of accommodating the frequent travel lodging needs for the Company’s employees in China traveling to the U.S. The monthly rent is $4,000 and the lease will expire in three years.

22. 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 in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)

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.

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 chief operating decision maker (“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.

23. RESTATEMENT

We have restated the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2009 for the following reasons:

Both Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued in 2008 were originally treated as equity and included in Additional Paid-in Capital. Subsequently, the Company determined that these warrants do not meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to the guidance of ASC 815-40-15 and therefore it is appropriate to reclassify these warrants from equity to liability. As a result of this change, the Company has reevaluated the fair value of the warranty liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and adjusted the warrants to their respective fair value through earnings for each reporting period. The impact of this restatement on the financial statements as previously reported is summarized below.

23. RESTATEMENT (Continued)

In addition, the Company has determined that in previous filings it improperly accounted for $1.2 million in liabilities of Wuxi ZQ, which were not disclosed to the Company at the time of the acquisition on May 4, 2009. The liabilities were previously recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s financial statements. They should, instead, have been recorded as a reduction to the Gain on Bargain Purchase that the Registrant reported as a result of the acquisition.

Results of Operations

The Development of our Business

In 2008 our battery production capacity was $45 million per year with two buildings (“A” and “B”) in full production. As our revenues in 2008 reached $45 million and continued to grow, the need to outfit buildings “C” and “D” to double our production capacity became apparent. During 2008 we completed an equity placement to obtain the capital necessary for the expansion. In July 2009, the two new production lines, “C” and “D”, became operational with automated equipment. In August 2009, we decided to upgrade the capacity of “A” and “B” with further investment in automated equipment. We completed the upgrade of these two lines in August 2010, which increased our annual battery production capacity to over $100 milion.

On May 4, 2009, Cashtech Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired ownership of 100% of the registered capital of Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co., Ltd. in exchange for three million shares of the Company’s common stock. Immediately after the completion of acquisition, Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co. Ltd. was renamed as Wuxi Zhongqiang Autocycle Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi ZQ”). In June and October 2009, in order to support the future growth of our newly acquired electric vehicle business and to facilitate an expansion of our battery production, we completed additional equity placements, obtaining net proceeds of $16,091,868 in June and $18,017,350 in October and $6,679,499 in December 2009.

The following tables present certain condensed consolidated statement of operations information. Financial information is presented for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Revenues

We had total revenues of $25,930,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $8,216,607 or 46.4% compared to $17,714,278 for the three months ended September 30 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the sales generated from the electric vehicle business, which we acquired on May 4, 2009. Sales of electric vehicles for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $13,920,230 as compared to $6,719,586 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, however, although the acquisition of Wuxi ZQ resulted in an increase in sales of electric vehicles, the elimination of battery sales to Wuxi ZQ from revenue (such sales are now eliminated in consolidation as intra-company transactions) has had a dampening effect on the growth of battery sales as Wuxi ZQ was a major customer prior to our acquisition.

The growth in our battery business has been accompanied by a reorientation in the relative importance of different battery sizes. When we first entered the battery business in 2003 and for the following years, the bulk of our sales were small capacity batteries, primarily used in consumer electronic devices. Our growth, however, has been propelled by customers for our medium capacity batteries (used for electric scooters, electric bicycles, power tools, miners’ lamps, searchlights, etc.) and large capacity batteries (used for electric sanitation vehicles, stationary applications, and other large scale battery applications). In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the sales of batteries in these categories as well as electric vehicles as the percentage to our total revenues was as follow:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010		% (of total revenue)			2009		% (of total revenue)
Small Capacity Battery	$	1,282,453		4.9	%	$	1,085,202		6.1	%
Medium Capacity Battery		4,284,179		16.5	%		1,564,630		8.8	%
Large Capacity Battery		3,702,762		14.3	%		3,270,765		18.5	%
Miner's Lamp		2,741,261		10.6	%		5,074,095		28.6	%
Electric Vehicle		13,920,230		53.7	%		6,719,586		37.9	%
Total	$	25,930,885		100.0	%	$	17,714,278		100.0	%


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2010	% (of total revenue)				2009	% (of total revenue)
Small Capacity Battery	$	3,349,186		4.9	%	$	3,323,184		7.9	%
Medium Capacity Battery		11,863,870		17.4	%		7,976,003		18.9	%
Large Capacity Battery		10,290,701		15.1	%		10,855,478		25.7	%
Miner's Lamp		7,203,109		10.5	%		9,670,016		22.9	%
Electric Vehicle		35,608,394		52.1	%		10,346,916		24.5	%
Total	$	68,315,260		100.0	%	$	42,171,598		100.0	%

In both the three and nine month periods, our most significant area of growth was medium capacity batteries. The principal reason for this growth is increased global demand for small electric vehicles, such as scooters and electric bicycles. We have been engaging distributors for medium capacity batteries in a number of foreign countries, particularly in Europe. We expect medium capacity batteries will continue to lead the growth of our battery segment. The growth of sales of medium capacity batteries is offset by a significant reduction in our sale of miner’s lamps. The decrease in the sales of miner’s lamps appears to be the result of market saturation. We are uncertain at this time regarding the future prospects of this product.

The increase in our revenue attributable to medium and large capacity batteries and electric vehicles has been beneficial to the profitability of our overall business. The margins that we are able to achieve in selling larger capacity batteries are significantly greater than the margins we achieve in selling smaller capacity batteries. The difference is partly due to manufacturing efficiencies, but is primarily attributable to the relative amount of competition in the different markets. With less competition in the market for larger batteries, we are able to command more profitable sales.

Gross Profit.

Our cost of goods sold consists of the cost of raw materials, labor costs and production overhead. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, our revenue increased by 46.4% and our cost of goods sold increased by 20.6%, from $10,087,228 to $12,170,059, compared to the same period in 2009. Similarly, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our revenue increased by 62.0% and our cost of goods sold increased by 46.1%, from $23,197,017 to $33,899,515, compared to the same period of 2009. This disparity in growth between revenue and cost of goods sold is mainly attributable to the higher average selling price of electric vehicle sales in 2010 than in 2009. In addition, since the acquisition of Wuxi ZQ in May 2009, we have worked aggressively to reduce unnecessary expenses a Wuxi ZQ. As a result, during the three months ended September 30 2010, the gross margin on our sales of electric vehicles was over 40%, compared to the 24% margin in the same period of 2009. The overall result was an increase in our gross margin from 43.1% in the three months ended September 30 2009 to 53.1% in the same period of 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our gross margin improved to 50.4% compared to 45.0% in the first nine months of 2009.

Operating expenses

The Company’s operating expenses decreased by 26.9%, from $2,382,937 in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1,741,154 in the same period of 2010. The Company incurred operating expenses of $6,349,933 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $406,170 or approximately 6.8%, compared to $5,943,763 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to our expanded battery and electric vehicle operation and shipments.

Included in our general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $408,797 and $1,223,558 attributable to amortization of the market value of stock that we granted to employees or consultants. This non-cash expense resulted from our use of stock during our early years to incentivize key individuals. The market value of the stock at the time it was issued to employees is being amortized over the term of the employee’s services. The value of stock issued to consultants is amortized over the terms of the consultant’s services, while being marked to market at the end of each quarter. The amortization periods are:

●	In the case of employees, the period of amortization is based on a vesting schedule included in the employees’ contracts. The average vesting period for the employees is 3.1 years.
●	In the case of consultants, the period of amortization is based on the term of the consulting contracts, although amortization will be accelerated if the consulting relationship ceases

At September 30, 2010 there was $5,811,146 unrecognized stock compensation on the Company’s books.

Our total “other income” for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 has not changed significantly as compared to the comparable prior periods, however, the components of other income varied significantly:

●

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we realized $102,616 and $250,159 in net interest income. The $47,452 interest expenses mainly related to Wuxi ZQ’s $2.9 million short-term bank loan which was offset by $120,000 in the interest income from our $1.6 million lending to a non-related company, Harbin Jinhuida Investment Consulting Limited, at an interest rate of 10% per annum, and interest income earned on our cash deposited in Chinese banks.

●

For the nine months ended September 30 2010, we recognized a $4,305 investment gain from our 49% equity investment in Beyond E-Tech, Inc., a Texas corporation recently organized to engage in distributing cellular telephones in the United States. The acquisition has been accounted for under the equity method and included as an “investment in unconsolidated entity” on our balance sheet. In the three and nine months ended September 30 2009, we recognized $336,849 income due to the forgiveness of interest payable on our existing short-term loans. There was no income recognized in 2010.

●

For the reasons described below, our acquisition of Wuxi ZQ in May 2009 resulted in a $8,645,276 gain on bargain purchase. There was no corresponding income in 2010.

●

In 2008 and 2009, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of common shares or convertible preferred stock. The warrants permit the investors to buy additional common shares at the prices specified in the warrant agreements. Because the Company may be required to repurchase the warrants at their fair value in certain circumstances, the fair value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability on our balance sheet. At the end of each quarter, we re-calculate the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model, and record any increase or decrease in that fair value as other income or other expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30 2010, the changes in the fair value of warrants were $128,176 and ($5,269,104) respectively, which were recognized as other expense (income).

Our acquisition of Wuxi ZQ in May 2009 resulted in a $8,645,276 gain on bargain purchase. Wuxi ZQ had been experiencing operational difficulties and lacked sufficient working capital for successful business operations. The former owners decided to sell their company at a loss and turn their attention to other business matters. Advanced Battery, on the other hand, believed that its management talent and the synergies between its business and that of Wuxi ZQ could convert Wuxi ZQ into a profitable operation. As a result of these factors, we were able to purchase Wuxi ZQ for 3,000,000 common shares with a market value of $9,870,000, although after we reviewed the assets and obtained audited historical values, we determined that the fair value of the net assets of Wuxi ZQ was $18,515,276. We recorded the $8,645,276 difference as “other income.” The two principal components of the Wuxi ZQ assets, whose total value was recorded at $40,273,510, were:

●

Fixed assets recorded at $21,908,014. We determined the value of fixed assets by reference to their replacement cost, based upon the market price of comparable assets with similar residual lives.

●

Intangible assets recorded at $13,378,643, consisting of land and power use rights valued at $12,046,892 and patents, goodwill and marketing network, valued at $1,331,751. We determined the value of the land and power use rights by reference to the market value of comparable rights. We determined the value of Wuxi ZQ’s patents, goodwill and marketing network by calculating the present value of the future revenue expected to be produced from use of those assets.

Our determination that we had realized a gain of $8.6 million as a result of the acquisition of Wuxi ZQ, therefore, was based on management’s assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired. That assessment involved decisions regarding comparability of assets and assumptions about the future revenue that Wuxi ZQ would realize. Those decisions and assumptions were merely based on management’s best estimates, and the conclusions could be materially inaccurate or different if the assessment were performed by different parties using the same assumptions. If the future operations of Wuxi ZQ lead us to conclude that we have over-estimated the value of the Wuxi ZQ assets, we may be forced to write-down some of those assets in the future.

The following table shows the components of our pre-tax and net income during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

	Three months ended Sept. 30						Nine months ended Sept. 30
	2010			2009 (restated)			2010		2009(restated)
Pre-tax income - U.S.	$	(438,506	)	$	(1,004,852	)	$	1,855,294	$	2,423,349
Pre-tax income - China	$	12,468,459		$	6,817,210		$	31,767,498	$	15,219,873
Pre-tax income - total	$	12,029,953		$	5,812,358		$	33,622,793	$	17,643,222

As a result of Chinese tax laws that reward foreign investment in China, currently and through 2010, ZQ Power-Tech is entitled to a 50% tax abatement, which results in an effective corporate tax rate of approximately 12.5%. After taxes of $902,558 and $2,460,585 realized in the three and nine months ended September 30 2010, our net income was $11,127,394 and $31,162,208 respectively, representing 118.8% and 147.2% increases over the same periods of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The growth of our Company has been funded by capital contributions - initially those of our founders and in recent years capital raised by the sale of equity to private investors and current earnings. At September 30, 2010 we had no outstanding debt.

At September 30, 2010 we had two long term liabilities:

●

Deferred tax liability of $3,025,847 attributable to the gain we realized when we acquired Wuxi ZQ in May 2009 for a price less than the fair value of its net assets; and

●

“Warrant liability” of $11,952,230 attributable to the warrants that we issued in connection with the three equity financing transactions in 2008 and 2009. Pursuant to provisions of ASC 815, the present value of the outstanding warrants is considered a liability.

The table below sets forth our debt service obligations as of September 30, 2010.

			Less than						More than
Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		5 Years

TOTAL	$	6,657,202	$	6,589,962	$	67,240	$	-	$	-

At September 30, 2010 the Company had a working capital balance of $107,442,723, an improvement from our working capital balance of $83,453,937 at December 31, 2009. We had $74,278,291 in cash, an increase of $21,354,933 from $52,923,358 at December 31, 2009. The primary reason for the improvement in working capital and cash was the strong positive operating cash flows partially offset by further investment in our facilities and repayment of one bank loan.

We have sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term operations and to fund the working capital demands of future expansion. If we determine that additional funds are needed for other attractive growth opportunities or for the full implementation of our long term expansion plans for Wuxi ZQ, we have over $55 million in property, plant and equipment that are free of liens which could be used as collateral for potential loans. Moreover, at October 31, 2010 we had a backlog of approximately $55.4 million for delivery throughout the next 12 months, including a battery backlog of approximately $41.6 million. (At October 30, 2009 we had a backlog of approximately $66.8 million, including a battery backlog of approximately $55 million.) Since our ongoing robust backlog indicates that our cash flows from operations will remain positive, we believe that secured lenders would look favorably on our strong financial position, positive cash flows as well as promising business prospects, and that secured financing will be available on favorable terms if needed.

Given the financial resources available to the Company, management believes that it has sufficient capital and liquidity to sustain operations for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were not effective. The weaknesses in the Company’s controls and procedures consisted of (a) a lack of expertise in identifying and addressing complex accounting issued under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles among the personnel in the Company’s accounting department, which has resulted in certain errors in accounting identified in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and (b) inadequate review by management personnel of the Company’s reports prior to filing, which has resulted in occasional past failures to comply with the instructions for filing reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
