We
achieved our highest quarterly net revenues for fiscal year 2008
of $68.5
million during a historically slow quarter, and over 30% greater
than our
net revenues last quarter, due to continuing growth in sales of prismatic
cells and cylindrical cells;
|
|
|
|
|
—
|
We
reported a smaller loss and higher gross margin as compared to last
quarter due to a higher selling price and continued cost-cutting
efforts,
which minimized the impact of the higher cost of raw
materials;
|
|
|
|
—
|
We
increased revenue from cylindrical cells, used in laptop computers,
to
$13.6 million, more than twice last quarter’s revenues, and began shipping
cylindrical cells to a well-known Taiwan-based notebook maker, ASUS
Tek
Computer Inc., in May 2008; revenue from cylindrical cells now accounts
for 20% of our total revenues;
|

We
received final approval from the Shenzhen Municipal Government regarding
the land use rights of BAK Industrial Park;

BAK
International (Tianjin) Limited obtained a 4-year long-term loan
of RMB
160 million from the Agricultural Bank of China to fund the operation
of
our Tianjin facilities; our Tianjin facilities are expected to commerce
operation around October 2008;
|
|
—
|
For
our prismatic cells and polymer cells, we continue to attract major
customers such as Foxconn Technology Group, the world’s largest
multi-national manufacturing services provider, and Sandisk, the
world's
largest supplier of innovative flash memory data storage products;
and
|
|
|
—
|
We
held our 2008 annual meeting of shareholders on July 25, 2008, at
which
our board was elected, our independent auditor was confirmed and
additional shares were authorized to be made available under our
equity
compensation plan.

We

had no sales of high-power lithium-ion cells in the three months

primarily due to the termination of our manufacturing agreement with
A123Systems in August 2007. We are actively seeking new markets for
our
high-power lithium-ion cells, such as the markets for miner’s lamps,
electric bicycles, and hybrid electric
vehicles.

Net
revenues from the sales of steel-case cells decreased to $25.7 million
in
the nine months ended June 30, 2008, from $27.9 million in the same
period
in fiscal 2007, a decrease of $2.2 million or 8.0%, due to our strategic
reduction of steel-case cell production in order to increase our
aluminum-case cell production capacity, to facilitate our transition
from
the secondary market to the OEM market, and to capitalize on the
greater
benefits and lower costs of aluminum-case cells. During the six months
ended June 30, 2008, the price and profit margin of steel-case cells
were
lower than those of aluminum-case cells, and market demand for
aluminum-case cells was stronger than that for steel-case cells.
As a
result, we expect to continue to increase our production of aluminum-case
cells and decrease our production of steel-case cells. We expect
that this
shift will positively impact our
revenue.

sold.

Net
revenues from sales of cylindrical cells increased to $22.9 million
in the
nine months ended June 30, 2008, from $2.3 million in the same period
in
fiscal year 2007, an increase of $20.6 million or 914.5%, due to
a 595.9%
increase in sales volume and a 45.8% increase in average selling
price,
driven by increased exports.

|
We
also sold $9.8 million of lithium polymer cells in the nine months
ended
June 30, 2008, compared to $2.5 million of lithium polymer cells
in the
same period in 2007, due to our ability to meet additional demand
by
increasing production.

W
e
had no sales of high-power lithium-ion cells in the nine months ended
June
30, 2008, compared to $17.4 million in the same period in 2007, primarily
due to the termination of our manufacturing agreement with A123Systems
in
August 2007. We are actively seeking new markets; such as the markets
for
miner’s lamps, electric bicycles, and hybrid electric vehicles; for our
high-power lithium-ion cells.
