Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On January 16, 2008, the management of Hong Kong Highpower Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 should no longer be relied upon due to various accounting errors in such financial statements. The Company’s restated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are included in its Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 28, 2008.
In connection with the restatement, the Company adjusted reorganization cost previously accounted as paid-in capital to fees and costs related to reorganization. Because of these corrections, various income tax calculations were also revised, which affected net income and also caused reclassifications to cash flows. The Company also adjusted its weighted average shares outstanding used in its earnings per calculation to reflect its actual shares outstanding under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, the Company reclassified sales by adjusting the revenues from the sale of second-class batteries and sale of waste material from other income to sales and cost of goods sold respectively.
The management of the Company has discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters disclosed in this Item
The Company intends to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007 filed with the SEC on November 19, 2007, and the Current Report on Form 8-K , which includes the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, filed with the SEC on November 5, 2007, as a result of the restatement.
