1. Principal Activities, Basis of Presentation and Organization

Principal Activities
CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (formerly known as China BAK Battery, Inc.) (“CBAK” or the “Company”) is a corporation formed in the State of Nevada on October 4, 1999 as Medina Copy, Inc. The Company changed its name to Medina Coffee, Inc. on October 6, 1999 and subsequently changed its name to China BAK Battery, Inc. on February 14, 2005. CBAK and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Company”) are principally engaged in the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of a wide variety of standard and customized lithium ion (known as “Li-ion” or “Li-ion cell”) high power rechargeable batteries. Prior to the disposal of BAK International Limited (“BAK International”) and its subsidiaries (see below), the batteries produced by the Company were for use in cellular telephones, as well as various other portable electronic applications, including high-power handset telephones, laptop computers, power tools, digital cameras, video camcorders, MP3 players, electric bicycles, hybrid/electric vehicles, and general industrial applications. After the disposal of BAK International and its subsidiaries on June 30, 2014, the Company will focus on the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of high power lithium ion rechargeable batteries for use in cordless power tools, light electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, electric cars, electric busses, uninterruptable power supplies and other high power applications.

The shares of the Company traded in the over-the-counter market through the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board from 2005 until May 31, 2006, when the Company obtained approval to list its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market, and trading commenced that same date under the symbol “CBAK”.

On January 10, 2017, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effectuate a merger between the Company and the Company’s newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, CBAK Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Sub”). According to the Articles of Merger, effective January 16, 2017, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company’s name.

Effective November 30, 2018, the trading symbol for common stock of the Company was changed from CBAK to CBAT. Effective at the opening of business on June 21, 2019, the Company’s common stock started trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Basis of Presentation and Organization

On November 6, 2004, BAK International, a non-operating holding company that had substantially the same shareholders as Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen BAK”), entered into a share swap transaction with the shareholders of Shenzhen BAK for the purpose of the subsequent reverse acquisition of the Company. The share swap transaction between BAK International and the shareholders of Shenzhen BAK was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Shenzhen BAK with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Shenzhen BAK.

On January 20, 2005, the Company completed a share swap transaction with the shareholders of BAK International. The share swap transaction, also referred to as the “reverse acquisition” of the Company, was consummated under Nevada law pursuant to the terms of a Securities Exchange Agreement entered by and among CBAK, BAK International and the shareholders of BAK International on January, ~~20,~~ 2005. The share swap transaction has been accounted for as a capital-raising transaction of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of Shenzhen BAK are consolidated using historical carrying amounts.

1. Principal Activities, Basis of Presentation and Organization (continued)
Basis of Presentation and Organization (continued)
Also on January 20, 2005, immediately prior to consummating the share swap transaction, BAK International executed a private placement of its common stock with unrelated investors whereby it issued an aggregate of 1,720,087 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $17,000,000. In conjunction with this financing, Mr. Xiangqian Li, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Mr. Li”), agreed to place 435,910 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him into an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated January 20, 2005 (the “Escrow Agreement”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, 50% of the escrowed shares were to be released to the investors in the private placement if audited net income of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 was not at least $12,000,000, and the remaining 50% was to be released to investors in the private placement if audited net income of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was not at least $27,000,000. If the audited net income of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 reached the above-mentioned targets, the 435,910 shares would be released to Mr. Li in the amount of 50% upon reaching the 2005 target and the remaining 50% upon reaching the 2006 target.

1. ~~Principal Activities, Basis of Presentation and Organization (continued)~~
~~Basis of Presentation and Organization (continued)~~
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), escrow agreements such as the one established by Mr. Li generally constitute compensation if, following attainment of a performance threshold, shares are returned to a company officer. The Company determined that without consideration of the compensation charge, the performance thresholds for the year ended September 30, 2005 would be achieved. However, after consideration of a related compensation charge, the Company determined that such thresholds would not have been achieved. The Company also determined that, even without consideration of a compensation charge, the performance thresholds for the year ended September 30, 2006 would not be achieved.

While the 217,955 escrow shares relating to the 2005 performance threshold were previously released to Mr. Li, Mr. Li executed a further undertaking on August 21, 2006 to return those shares to the escrow agent for the distribution to the relevant investors. However, such shares were not returned to the escrow agent, but, pursuant to a Delivery of Make Good Shares, Settlement and Release Agreement between the Company, BAK International and Mr. Li entered into on October 22, 2007 (the “Li Settlement Agreement”), such shares were ultimately delivered to the Company as described below. Because the Company failed to satisfy the performance threshold for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the remaining 217,955 escrow shares relating to the fiscal year 2006 performance threshold were released to the relevant investors. As Mr. Li has not retained any of the shares placed into escrow, and as the investors party to the Escrow Agreement are only shareholders of the Company and do not have and are not expected to have any other relationship to the Company, the Company has not recorded a compensation charge for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2006.

At the time the escrow shares relating to the 2006 performance threshold were transferred to the investors in fiscal year 2007, the Company should have recognized a credit to donated shares and a debit to additional paid-in capital, both of which are elements of shareholders’ equity. This entry is not material because total ordinary shares issued and outstanding, total shareholders’ equity and total assets do not change; nor is there any impact on income or earnings per share. Therefore, previously filed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 will not be restated. This share transfer has been reflected in these financial statements by reclassifying the balances of certain items as of October 1, 2007. The balances of donated shares and additional paid-in capital as of October 1, 2007 were credited and debited by $7,955,358 respectively, as set out in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

In November 2007, Mr. Li delivered the 217,955 shares related to the 2005 performance threshold to BAK International pursuant to the Li Settlement Agreement; BAK International in turn delivered the shares to the Company. Such shares (other than those issued to investors pursuant to the 2008 Settlement Agreements, as described below) are now held by the Company. Upon receipt of these shares, the Company and BAK International released all claims and causes of action against Mr. Li regarding the shares, and Mr. Li released all claims and causes of action against the Company and BAK International regarding the shares. Under the terms of the Li Settlement Agreement, the Company commenced negotiations with the investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement in order to achieve a complete settlement of BAK International’s obligations (and the Company’s obligations to the extent it has any) under the applicable agreements with such investors.

Beginning on March 13, 2008, the Company entered into settlement agreements (the “2008 Settlement Agreements”) with certain investors in the January 2005 private placement. Since the other investors have never submitted any claims regarding this matter, the Company did not reach any settlement with them.

Pursuant to the 2008 Settlement Agreements, the Company and the settling investors have agreed, without any admission of liability, to a settlement and mutual release from all claims relating to the January 2005 private placement, including all claims relating to the escrow shares related to the 2005 performance threshold that had been placed into escrow by Mr. Li, as well as all claims, including claims for liquidated damages relating to registration rights granted in connection with the January 2005 private placement. Under the 2008 Settlement Agreement, the Company has made settlement payments to each of the settling investors of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to 50% of the number of the escrow shares related to the 2005 performance threshold these investors had claimed; aggregate settlement payments as of June 30, ~~2015amounted~~2015 amounted to 73,749 shares. Share payments to date have been made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section ~~4(2)~~4(a)(2) and/or other applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the 2008 Settlement Agreements, the Company filed a registration statement covering the resale of such shares which was declared effective by the SEC on June 26, 2008.

Pursuant to the Li Settlement Agreement, the 2008 Settlement Agreements and upon the release of the 217,955 escrow shares relating to the fiscal year 2006 performance threshold to the relevant investors, neither Mr. Li or the Company have any obligations to the investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement relating to the escrow shares.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had not received any claim from the other investors who have not been covered by the “2008 Settlement Agreements” in the January 2005 private placement.

As the Company has transferred the 217,955 shares related to the 2006 performance threshold to the relevant investors in fiscal year 2007 and the Company also have transferred 73,749 shares relating to the 2005 performance threshold to the investors who had entered the ~~“2008~~"2008 Settlement ~~Agreements”~~Agreements" with us in fiscal year 2008, pursuant to “Li Settlement Agreement” and “2008 Settlement Agreements”, neither Mr. Li nor the Company had any remaining obligations to those related investors who participated in the Company’s January 2005 private placement relating to the escrow shares.

On August 14, 2013, Dalian BAK Trading Co., Ltd was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of China BAK Asia Holding Limited (“BAK Asia”) with a registered capital of $500,000. Pursuant to CBAK Trading’s articles of association and relevant PRC regulations, BAK Asia was required to contribute the capital to CBAK Trading on or before August 14, 2015.

The Company is currently expanding its product lines and manufacturing capacity in its Dalian and Nanjing plant, which requires more funding to finance the expansion. The Company plans to raise additional funds through banks borrowing and equity financing in the future to meet its daily cash demands, if required.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining further financing. The Company expects that it will be able to secure more potential orders from the new energy market, especially from the electric car ~~market and UPS~~ market. The Company believes that with the booming future market demand in high power lithium ion products, it can continue as a going concern and return to profitability.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

1. Principal Activities, Basis of Presentation and Organization (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with the Company’s customers.

Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the categories: discounts and returns. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to the Company’s customer.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application among reporting entities. Upon adoption, the Company must apply certain aspects of this standard retrospectively for all periods presented while other aspects are applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company applied the new standard beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by this update are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivative scope exception. This update simplifies the related settlement assessment by removing the requirements to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and only if adopted as of the beginning of such fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) ~~(“ASU 2016-13”)~~, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ~~ASU 2016-13~~This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ~~ASU 2016-13~~This guidance is is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, ~~2022. The~~2022.The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the ~~adoption of ASU 2016-13~~standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement ~~presentations and~~presentation or disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

6. ~~Acquisition of a subsidiary (continued)~~
On July 20, 2021, CBAK Power entered into a framework agreement relating to CBAK Power’s investment in Hitrans, pursuant to which CBAK Power will acquire 81.56% of the equity interests of Hitrans (the “Acquisition Agreement”). Under the Acquisition Agreement, CBAK Power will acquire 60% ownership of Hitrans from Zhejiang Meidu Graphene Technology Co., Ltd. (“Meidu Graphene”) valued at RMB118 million ($~~18.27~~18.30 million) and 21.56% ownership of Hitrans from Hitrans’s management shareholders valued at approximately RMB40.74 million ($~~6.31~~6.32 million). Two individuals among Hitrans management shareholders, including Hitrans’s CEO, Mr. Haijun Wu (“Mr. Wu”), will keep 2.50% ownership of Hitrans and New Era Group Zhejiang New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. (“New Era”) will continue to hold 15% ownership of Hitrans after the acquisition.

As of the date of the Acquisition Agreement, the 25% ownership of Hitrans held by Hitrans management shareholders was frozen as a result of a litigation arising from the default by Hitrans management shareholders on debts borrowed from Zhejiang Meidu Pawn Co., Ltd. (“Pawn Co.”) whereby the 25% ownership of Hitrans was pledged as collateral. Mr. Junnan Ye (“Mr. Ye”), acting as an intermediary, will first acquire 22.5% ownership of Hitrans, free of any encumbrances, from Hitrans management shareholders. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, within five days of CBAK Power’s obtaining 21.56% ownership of Hitrans from Mr. Ye, CBAK Power will pay approximately RMB40.74 million ($~~6.31~~6.32 million) in cash, which amount shall be used toward the repayment of debts due to Pawn Co. On July 23, 2021, CBAK Power paid RMB40.74 million (approximately $6.32 million) in cash to Mr. Ye.

In addition, as of the date of the Acquisition Agreement, Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans was frozen as a result of a litigation arising from Hitrans’s failure to make payments to New Era in connection with the purchase of land use rights, plants, equipment, pollution discharge permit and other assets (the “Assets”) under certain asset transfer agreements as well as Meidu Graphene’s guarantee for Hitrans’s payment obligations thereunder. As a part of the transaction, CBAK Power entered into a loan agreement with Hitrans to lend Hitrans approximately RMB131 million ($~~20.28~~20.32 million) (the “Hitrans Loan”) by remitting approximately RMB131 million ($~~20.28~~20.32 million) into the account of Shaoxing Intermediate People’s Court (the “Court”) to remove the freeze on Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans. Moreover, Juzhong Daxin will return RMB15 million ($~~2.32~~2.33 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power before CBAK Power wires approximately RMB131 million ($~~20.28~~20.32 million) to the Court and will retain RMB5 million ($~~0.77~~0.78 million) as commission for facilitating the acquisition. As of September 30, 2021, Juzhong Daxin returned RMB7 million ($1.1 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power.
CBAK Power ~~will~~shall pay all other fees due to Juzhong Daxin in accordance with the Letter of Intent. According to the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Ye will first acquire 60% ownership of Hitrans, free of any encumbrances, from Meidu Graphene. Thereafter, CBAK Power will assign RMB118 million ($~~18.27~~18.30 million) of the Hitrans Loan to Mr. Junnan Ye as consideration for the acquisition of 60% ownership of Hitrans from Mr. Ye (the “Assignment”). Hitrans shall repay RMB118 million ($18.27 million) to Mr. Ye in accordance with a separate loan repayment agreement (the “Loan Repayment Agreement”) to be entered into among Mr. Ye, Hitrans, CBAK Power and Mr. Wu. Under the Loan Repayment Agreement, Hitrans shall repay Mr. Ye at least RMB70 million ($~~10.84~~10.86 million) within two months of obtaining the title to the Assets from New Era and the remaining balance by December 31, 2021, with a fixed interest of RMB3.5 million ($0.54 million) which can be reduced by up to RMB1 million ($0.15 million) if the loan is settled before its due date. CBAK Power provides guarantee to Mr. Ye on Hitrans’s repayment obligations under the Loan Repayment Agreement. Hitrans shall repay the remaining approximately RMB13 million ($~~2.01~~2.02 million) of the Hitrans Loan to CBAK Power at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing in one year from the date of the Assignment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest income of $19,890.

As of the date of this report, ~~CBAK Power has acquired~~the transfer of 81.56% ownership of Hitrans to CBAK Power has been registered with the local government and CBAK Power has paid approximately RMB40.74 million (approximately ~~$6.31~~$6.32 million) in cash to Mr. Ye.

The Company subsequently filed Form S-1 for these shareholders. On December 8, 2006, the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”).

The Company may have become liable for liquidated damages to certain shareholders whose shares were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement that the Company entered into with such shareholders in November 2007. Under the registration rights agreement, among other things, if a registration statement filed pursuant thereto was not declared effective by the SEC by the 100th calendar day after the closing of the Company’s private placement on November 9, 2007, or the “Effectiveness Deadline”, then the Company would be liable to pay partial liquidated damages to each such investor of (a) 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the shares it purchased on the one month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline; (b) an additional 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until the earliest of the effectiveness of the registration statement, the ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline and the time that the Company is no longer required to keep such resale registration statement effective because either such shareholders have sold all of their shares or such shareholders may sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations; and (c) 0.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the shares it purchased in the Company’s November 2007 private placement on each of the following dates: the ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline and every thirtieth day thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days), until the earlier of the effectiveness of the registration statement and the time that the Company no longer is required to keep such resale registration statement effective because either such shareholders have sold all of their shares or such shareholders may sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations. Such liquidated damages would bear interest at the rate of 1% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
On December 21, 2007, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 7, 2008.

United States Tax

CBAK is a Nevada corporation that is subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income at a rate of up to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income of up to 35% for prior tax years. The U.S. Tax Reform signed into law on December 22, 2017 significantly modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump sum.

(a) Income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive ~~income (loss)~~loss (income) (continued)

The U.S. Tax Reform also includes provisions for a new tax on GILTI effective for tax years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”), subject to the possible use of foreign tax credits and a deduction equal to 50 percent to offset the income tax liability, subject to some limitations.
The Company’s management is still evaluating the effect of the U.S. Tax Reform on CBAK. Management may update its judgment of that effect based on its continuing evaluation and on future regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and specific actions the Company may take in the future.
To the extent that portions of CBAK’s U.S. taxable income, such as Subpart F income or GILTI, are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, Sohu.com Inc. may be able to claim foreign tax credits to offset its U.S. income tax liabilities. If dividends that CBAK receives from its subsidiaries are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, CBAK will generally not be required to pay U.S. corporate income tax on those dividends. Any liabilities for U.S. corporate income tax will be accrued in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and estimated tax payments will be made when required by U.S. law.
No provision for income taxes in the United States or elsewhere has been made as CBAK had no taxable income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 and 2021.
Hong Kong Tax
~~BAK Asia and BAK Investments~~The Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate of 16.5% and did not have any assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2020~~2019 and ~~2021~~2020 and accordingly no provision for Hong Kong profits tax was made in these periods.

The ~~CIT Law~~Company’s subsidiaries in China ~~applies an~~are subject to enterprise income tax ~~rate of~~at 25% to all enterprises but grants preferential tax treatment to High-New Technology Enterprises. CBAK Power was regarded as a “High-new technology enterprise” pursuant to a certificate jointly issued by the relevant Dalian Government authorities. The certificate was valid for three years commencing from year 2018. Under the preferential tax treatment, CBAK Power was entitled to enjoy a tax rate of 15% for the ~~years from 2019 to 2021 provided that the qualifying conditions as a High-new technology enterprise were met.~~three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021.

As of December 31, 2020 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company’s U.S. entity had net operating loss carry forwards of $103,580,741, of which $102,293 available to reduce future taxable income which will expire in various years through 2035 and $103,478,448 available to offset capital gains recognized in the succeeding 5 tax years and the Company’s PRC subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards of $37,536,687 and ~~$38,593,969,~~$45,154,800, respectively, which will expire in various years through ~~2028.~~2023 to 2029. Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these potential tax benefits as these operations will not generate any operating profits in the foreseeable future. As a result, a valuation allowance was provided against the full amount of the potential tax benefits.
According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion.
The impact of an uncertain income tax positions on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes.
The significant uncertain tax position arose from the subsidies granted by the local government for the Company’s PRC subsidiary, which may be modified or challenged by the central government or the tax authority. A reconciliation of January 1, 2021 through ~~June~~September 30, 2021 amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties (“Gross UTB”) is as follows:
Gross UTB Surcharge Net UTB
Balance as of January 1, 2021 $ 7,511,182 $         - $ 7,511,182
Decrease in unrecognized tax benefits taken in current period 81,408 - 81,408
Balance as of June 30, 2021 $ 7,592,590 $ - $ 7,592,590
Gross UTB Surcharge Net UTB
Balance as of January 1, 2021 $ 7,511,182 $        - $ 7,511,182
Increase in unrecognized tax benefits taken in current period 95,495 - 95,495
Balance as of September 30, 2021 $ 7,606,677 $ - $ 7,606,677
As of December 31, 2020 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had not accrued any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

21. Warrants (continued)
The Company has performed a thorough reassessment of the terms of its warrants with reference to the provisions of ASC Topic 815-40-15-7I, regarding its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. This reassessment has led to the management’s conclusion that the Company’s warrants issued to the investors should not be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock because the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollar, which is different from the Company’s functional currency, Renminbi. Warrants are remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in each reporting period.
There was a total of ~~15,797,479~~9,092,499 warrants issued and outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.
The fair value of the outstanding warrants was calculated using Binomial Model based on backward induction with the following assumptions:

22. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Certain current assets and current liabilities are financial instruments. Management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and, if applicable, their current interest rates are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, trade accounts and bills receivable and payable, other receivables, balances with former subsidiaries, other short-term loans, short-term and long-term bank loans and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments or the rate of interest of these instruments approximate the market rate of interest.

On July 20, 2021, CBAK Power entered into a framework agreement relating to CBAK Power’s investment in Hitrans, pursuant to which CBAK Power will acquire 81.56% of the equity interests of Hitrans (the “Acquisition Agreement”). Under the Acquisition Agreement, CBAK Power will acquire 60% ownership of Hitrans from Zhejiang Meidu Graphene Technology Co., Ltd. (“Meidu Graphene”) valued at RMB118 million ($18.27 million) and 21.56% ownership of Hitrans from Hitrans’s management shareholders valued at approximately RMB40.74 million ($6.31 million). As of the date of the Acquisition Agreement, the 25% ownership of Hitrans held by Hitrans management shareholders was frozen as a result of a litigation arising from the default by Hitrans management shareholders on debts borrowed from Zhejiang Meidu Pawn Co., Ltd. (“Pawn Co.”) whereby the 25% ownership of Hitrans was pledged as collateral. Mr. Junnan Ye (“Mr. Ye”), acting as an intermediary, will first acquire 22.5% ownership of Hitrans, free of any encumbrances, from Hitrans management shareholders. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, within five days of CBAK Power’s obtaining 21.56% ownership of Hitrans from Mr. Ye, CBAK Power will pay approximately RMB40.74 million ($6.31 million) in cash, which amount shall be used toward the repayment of debts due to Pawn Co.
In addition, as of the date of the Acquisition Agreement, Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans was frozen as a result of a litigation arising from Hitrans’s failure to make payments to New Era in connection with the purchase of land use rights, plants, equipment, pollution discharge permit and other assets (the “Assets”) under certain asset transfer agreements as well as Meidu Graphene’s guarantee for Hitrans’s payment obligations thereunder. As a part of the transaction, CBAK Power entered into a loan agreement with Hitrans to lend Hitrans approximately RMB131 million ($20.28 million) (the “Hitrans Loan”) by remitting approximately RMB131 million into the account of Shaoxing Intermediate People’s Court (the “Court”) to remove the freeze on Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans. Moreover, Juzhong Daxin will return RMB15 million ($2.32 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power before CBAK Power wires approximately RMB131 million to the Court and will retain RMB5 million ($0.77 million) as commission for facilitating the acquisition. CBAK Power will pay all other fees due to Juzhong Daxin in accordance with the Letter of Intent. According to the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Ye will first acquire 60% ownership of Hitrans, free of any encumbrances, from Meidu Graphene. Thereafter, CBAK Power will assign RMB118 million of the Hitrans Loan to Mr. Junnan Ye as consideration for the acquisition of 60% ownership of Hitrans from Mr. Ye (the “Assignment”). Hitrans shall repay RMB118 million to Mr. Ye in accordance with a separate loan repayment agreement (the “Loan Repayment Agreement”) to be entered into among Mr. Ye, Hitrans, CBAK Power and Mr. Wu. Under the Loan Repayment Agreement, Hitrans shall repay Mr. Ye at least RMB70 million ($10.84 million) within two months of obtaining the title to the Assets from New Era and the remaining balance by December 31, 2021, with a fixed interest of RMB3.5 million ($0.54 million) which can be reduced by up to RMB1 million ($~~0.15~~ million) if the loan is settled before its due date. CBAK Power provides guarantee to Mr. Ye on Hitrans’s repayment obligations under the Loan Repayment Agreement. Hitrans shall repay the remaining approximately RMB13 million ($2.01 million) of the Hitrans Loan to CBAK Power at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing in one year from the date of the Assignment.
As of the date of this report, CBAK Power has acquired 81.56% ownership of Hitrans and has paid approximately RMB40.74 million (approximately $6.31 million) in cash to Mr. Ye. In addition to that, CBAK Power has wired approximately RMB131 million ($20.28 million) to the Court and Juzhong Daxin returned RMB7 million ($1.1 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power. CBAK Power expects to close the acquisition of 81.56% ownership of Hitrans upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, including that Hitrans obtains the title to all the Assets.

Overview
We are a manufacturer of new energy high power lithium batteries that are mainly used in light electric vehicles, electric vehicles, electric tools, energy storage (such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications) and other high-power applications. Our primary product offering consists of new energy high power lithium batteries, but we are also seeking to expand into the production and sale of light electric vehicles.
We acquired most of our operating assets, including customers, employees, patents and technologies from our former subsidiary BAK International (Tianjin) Ltd. (“BAK Tianjin”). We acquired these assets in exchange for a reduction in accounts receivable from our former subsidiaries that were disposed of in June 2014.
As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we report financial and operational information in one segment: high-power lithium battery cells production.
We currently conduct our business through ~~six~~seven wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in China. We own these operating subsidiaries through BAK Asia and BAK Investments, which are investment holding companies formed under the laws of Hong Kong.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed on April 13, 2021 and other reports filed with the SEC, we have been expanding our manufacturing capabilities through construction of new production lines in Nanjing and Dalian, China. To maintain our competitive position, we are also developing the model 32140 large-sized cylindrical “tabless” battery and the special 26650 lithium battery designed for application in ultra-low temperature. In addition, we have been developing our light electric vehicle business via our PRC subsidiary, Nanjing Daxin. On January 18, 2021, Nanjing Daxin established a branch in Tianjin City for the production of light electric vehicles. On August 4, 2021, Nanjing Daxin established a wholly owned subsidiary, Daxin New Energy Automobile Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., or Jiangsu Daxin, to focus on light electric vehicle technology.
Due to the growing environmental pollution problem, the Chinese government has been providing support to the development of new energy facilities and vehicles for several years. It is expected that we will be able to secure more potential orders from the new energy market. We believe that with the booming market demand in high power lithium-iron products, we can continue as a going concern and return to profitability sustainedly.
Recent Financing Activities
On February 8, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we issued in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 8,939,976 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $7.83.

On July 23, 2021, CBAK Power paid RMB40.74 million (approximately $6.31 million) in cash to Mr. Ye.
In addition, as of the date of the Acquisition Agreement, Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans was frozen as a result of a ~~litigation~~court proceeding arising from Hitrans’s failure to make payments to New Era ~~Group Zhejiang New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. (“New Era”)~~ in connection with the purchase of land use rights, plants, equipment, pollution discharge permit and other assets (the “Assets”) under certain asset transfer agreements as well as Meidu Graphene’s guarantee for Hitrans’s payment obligations thereunder. As a part of the transaction, CBAK Power entered into a loan agreement with Hitrans to lend Hitrans approximately RMB131 million ($20.28 million) (the “Hitrans Loan”) by remitting approximately RMB131 million ($20.28 million) into the account of Shaoxing Intermediate People’s Court (the “Court”) to remove the freeze on Meidu Graphene’s 60% ownership of Hitrans. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Juzhong Daxin shall return RMB15 million ($2.32 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power before CBAK Power wires approximately RMB131 million ($20.28 million) to the Court and will retain RMB5 million ($0.77 million) as commission for facilitating the acquisition. As of the date of this report, Juzhong Daxin returned RMB7 million ($1.1 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power.
CBAK Power shall pay all other fees due to Juzhong Daxin in accordance with the Letter of Intent. According to the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Ye will first acquire 60% ownership of Hitrans, free of any encumbrances, from Meidu Graphene. Thereafter, CBAK Power will assign RMB118 million ($18.27 million) of the Hitrans Loan to Mr. Junnan Ye as consideration for the acquisition of 60% ownership of Hitrans from Mr. Ye (the “Assignment”). Hitrans shall repay RMB118 million ($18.27 million) to Mr. Ye in accordance with a separate loan repayment agreement (the “Loan Repayment Agreement”) to be entered into among Mr. Ye, Hitrans, CBAK Power and Mr. Haijun Wu, the CEO of Hitrans. Under the Loan Repayment Agreement, Hitrans shall repay Mr. Ye at least RMB70 million ($10.84 million) within two months of obtaining the title to the Assets from New Era and the remaining balance by December 31, 2021, with a fixed interest of RMB3.5 million ($0.54 million) which can be reduced by up to RMB1 million ($0.15 million) if the loan is ~~settled~~repaid before its due date. CBAK Power provides guarantee to Mr. Ye on Hitrans’s repayment obligations under the Loan Repayment Agreement. Hitrans shall repay the remaining approximately RMB13 million ($2.01 million) of the Hitrans Loan to CBAK Power at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing in one year from the date of the Assignment.
We disclosed the terms of the Acquisition Agreement in a current report on Form 8-K filed on July 26, 2021. As of the date of this report, the transfer of 81.56% ownership of Hitrans to CBAK Power has been registered with the local government and CBAK Power has paid approximately RMB40.74 million (approximately $6.31 million) in cash to Mr. Ye. In addition, CBAK Power has wired approximately RMB131 million (approximately $20.28 million) to the Court and Juzhong Daxin returned RMB7 million ($1.1 million) of the security deposit to CBAK Power. We expect to close the acquisition of 81.56% ownership of Hitrans upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, including that Hitrans obtains the title to all the ~~Assets.~~assets.

~~Financial Statement Presentation~~

Financial Statement Presentation
Net revenues. The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.
Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with our customers.
Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the categories: discounts and returns. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to the Company’s customer.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee remuneration for staff engaged in production activity, share-based compensation, depreciation and related expenses that are directly attributable to the production of products. Cost of revenues also includes write-downs of inventory to lower of cost and net realizable value.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses primarily consist of remuneration for R&D staff, share-based compensation, depreciation and maintenance expenses relating to R&D equipment, and R&D material costs.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of remuneration for staff involved in selling and marketing efforts, including staff engaged in the packaging of goods for shipment, advertising cost, depreciation, share-based compensation, travel and entertainment expenses and product warranty expense. We do not pay slotting fees to retail companies for displaying our products, engage in cooperative advertising programs, participate in buy-down programs or similar arrangements.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee remuneration, share-based compensation, professional fees, insurance, benefits, general office expenses, depreciation, liquidated damage charges and bad debt expenses.

Finance expense, net. Finance costs consist primarily of interest income and interest on bank loans, net of capitalized interest.
Impairment of non-marketable equity securities. Non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market value. We measure investments in non-marketable equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at the cost method minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes on a non-recurring basis.
Change in fair value of warrants liability. We issued warrants in the ~~financing~~financings we consummated in December 2020 and February ~~2021.~~2021, respectively. These warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities, as the warrants are ~~dominated~~denominated in a currency (U.S. dollar) other than our functional currency.
Income tax expenses. Our subsidiaries in PRC are subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. Our Hong Kong ~~subsidiaries~~subsidiary BAK Asia and BAK Investments are subject to a profits tax at a rate of 16.5%. However, because we did not have any assessable income derived from or arising in Hong Kong, PRC, our Hong Kong subsidiaries had not paid any such tax.

As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 9%5.3% and 2%1.5% of net revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was resulted from an increase of salaries, social insurance and staff welfare expenses for sales and marketing employees by approximately $0.2 million. Sales and marketing employees’ social insurance expenses increased in part due to the expiration of the Chinese government’s COVID-19 relief policy that alleviated corporations’ social insurance burdens. Moreover, ~~given the growth~~ in light of our good revenue performance, we increased sales and marketing employees’ salaries and welfare. ~~We attended the Light Electric Vehicle Exhibition to increase our brand awareness and incurred exhibition expenses of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~

Other income, net. Other income was $69,970 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to other income of $5,873 for the same period 2020.
Changes in fair value of warrants liability. We issued warrants in the financings we consummated in December 2020 and February 2021, respectively. We determined that these warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities, as the warrants are dominated in a currency (U.S. dollar) other than our functional currency. The change in fair value of warrants liability is mainly due to the share price decline.
Income tax. Income tax was nil for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income of $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a net income of $41,715 for the same period in 2020.

As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 5.1% and 1.6% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase mainly resulted from an increase in salaries, social insurance and staff welfare expenses for sales and marketing employees by approximately $0.4 million. Sales and marketing employees’ social insurance expenses increased in part due to the expiration of the Chinese government’s COVID-19 relief policy that alleviated corporations’ social insurance burdens. Moreover, given the growth in revenue, we increased sales and marketing employees’ salaries and welfare. In addition, we attended several exhibitions to increase our brand awareness and incurred exhibition expenses of approximately $0.2 million and $18,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of $3.2 million, or 123%. The increase was primarily resulted from the significant increase in administrative employees’ salaries and social insurance expenses by approximately $1.6 million. Administrative employees’ social insurance expenses increased due to a growing number of employees at Nanjing CBAK and Nanjing Daxin as well as the expiration of the Chinese government’s COVID-19 relief policy that alleviated corporations’ social insurance burdens. In addition, our rental expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, as Nanjing CBAK and Nanjing Daxin rented warehouse and staff dormitory. Moreover, our expenses increased by $0.8 million due to the numbers of shareholder meetings held, an increased number of issuance of shares and increase of consultancy and recruitment expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020.

Provision for(recovery of) doubtful accounts. Recovery of doubtful accounts was $437,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to provision for doubtful accounts, $63,534, for the same period in 2020. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Operating loss. As a result of the above, our operating loss totaled ~~$2.7~~$5.9 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, as compared to ~~$0.9~~$2.5 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of ~~$1.8~~$3.4 million in loss, or ~~199%~~138%.

Finance income (expenses), net. Finance income, net ~~was $52,700~~increased to $0.2 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, as compared to finance ~~expense, net of $0.4~~expenses approximately $1.2 million for the same period ~~in 2020,~~last year, representing an increase of ~~$0.4~~$1.3 million in finance income, or 115% as a result of lower loan balances in 2021 and more interest income generated from vehicle leasing.
~~Income tax.~~ ~~Income tax was nil for both three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.~~
Other ~~income, net.~~income.

The increase was primarily resulted from debts relief from materials and equipment suppliers.
Impairment of non-marketable equity securities. In April 2021, we invested RMB9 million (approximately $1.4 million) to acquire approximately 9.7% of the equity interests of DJY. We assessed the carrying value of non-marketable equity securities during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and recognized an impairment of non-marketable equity securities of ~~$690,542 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~$690,585.

Changes in fair value of warrants liability. We issued warrants in the financing we consummated in December 2020 and February 2021. We determined that these warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities, as the warrants are dominated in a currency (U.S. dollar) other than our functional currency. The change in fair value of warrants liability is mainly due to the share price decline.

Income tax. Income tax was nil and nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net ~~income~~ (loss). income. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income of ~~$2.7 million~~$52.4million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of ~~$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our liquidity requirements from long-term and short-term bank loans, other short-term loans and bills payable under bank credit agreements, advances from our related and unrelated parties, ~~investors~~ and issuance of capital ~~stock.~~stock and other securities to investors.

We generated a net income of ~~$32.3~~$52.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of ~~$52.4~~$17.5 million. Our total current assets were ~~$93.4~~$59.6 million and our total current liabilities were ~~$72.8~~$49.4 million, resulting in a net working capital of ~~$20.6~~$10.2 million.

We had an accumulated deficit from recurring losses from operations and short-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2020 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficiency of $10.5 million. These factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2020 included an explanatory paragraph in respect of the substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently expanding our product lines and manufacturing capacity and developing the new business of producing light electric vehicles in our Dalian and Nanjing ~~plant,~~plants, which requires more funding to finance the expansion. We plan to renew our bank borrowings upon maturity and raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity financing to meet our daily cash demands. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining ~~the~~such financing.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Lending from Financial Institutions

On June 4, 2018, we obtained banking facilities from China Everbright Bank Dalian Branch with a maximum amount of RMB200 million (approximately $30.63 million), bearing interest at 130% of benchmark rate of the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) for three-year long-term loans with the term of June 12, 2018 to June 10, 2021, which is currently 6.175% per annum. Under the facilities, we borrowed RMB126.0 million ($18.1 million), RMB23.3 million ($3.3 million), RMB9.0 million ($1.3 million) and RMB9.5 million ($1.4 million) on June 12, June 20, September 20, and October 19, 2018, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, we had un-utilized committed banking facilities of $8.4 million.

Equity and Debt Financings from Investors

We have also obtained funds through private placements, registered direct offerings and other equity and ~~note~~debt financings.

On December 8, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which we issued in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 9,489,800 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $5.18, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,795,920 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $6.46 per share exercisable for 36 months from the date of issuance, for gross proceeds of approximately $49.16 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

On February 8, 2021, we entered into another securities purchase agreement with the same investors, pursuant to which we issued in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 8,939,976 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $7.83. In addition, we issued to the investors (i) in a concurrent private placement, the Series A-1 warrants to purchase a total of 4,469,988 shares of common stock, at a per share exercise price of $7.67 and exercisable for 42 months from the date of issuance; (ii) in the registered direct offering, the Series B warrants to purchase a total of 4,469,988 shares of common stock, at a per share exercise price of $7.83 and exercisable for 90 days from the date of issuance; and (iii) in the registered direct offering, the Series A-2 warrants to purchase up to 2,234,992 shares of common stock, at a per share exercise price of $7.67 and exercisable for 45 months from the date of issuance. We received gross proceeds of approximately $70 million from the registered direct offering and the concurrent private placement, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

On May 10, 2021, we entered into that Amendment No. 1 to the Series B Warrant (the “Series B Warrant Amendment”) with each of the holders of the Company’s outstanding Series B warrants. Pursuant to the Series B Warrant Amendment, the term of the Series B warrants was extended from May 11, 2021 to August 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, all of the Series B warrants and Series A-2 warrants had expired.

We currently are expanding our product lines and manufacturing capacity and developing the new business of producing light electric vehicles in our Dalian and Nanjing plants, which requires additional funding to finance the expansion. We may also require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. We ~~plan to~~may renew ~~these~~our bank loans upon maturity, if required, and plan to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity or debt financing in the future to meet our daily cash demands, if required. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining ~~this~~such financing. If our existing cash and bank borrowing are insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell equity securities, debt securities or borrow from other lending institutions. We can make no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute the interests of our current shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may suffer.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party and under which we have (i) any obligation under a guarantee, (ii) any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity, (iii) any obligation under derivative instruments that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets, or (iv) any obligation arising out of a variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

There were no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 13, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

As we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2021, during our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:

	●	We did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to evaluate the proper accounting and disclosures of key documents and agreements.

●

We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

In order to cure the foregoing material ~~weakness,~~weaknesses, we ~~have taken or~~plan to make necessary changes by providing training to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to our financial reporting requirements. We are ~~taking~~also in the ~~following remediation measures:~~process of hiring a permanent chief financial officer with significant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience.

●	We are in the process of hiring a permanent chief financial officer with significant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience. Ms. Xiangyu Pei was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company as the Interim Chief Financial Officer on August 23, 2019.

●

Since September 2016, we have regularly offered our financial personnel trainings on internal control and risk management. Since November 2016, we have regularly provided trainings to our financial personnel on U.S. GAAP accounting guidelines. We plan to continue to provide trainings to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to our financial reporting requirements.

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weakness that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the matters described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

	(b)	Advances from Mr. Yunfei Li, the Company’s CEO, was unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.


	(e)	In 2019, the Company entered into a short term loan agreement with Suzhou Zhengyuanwei Needle Ce Co., Ltd, an unrelated party to loan RMB0.6 million (approximately $0.1 million), bearing annual interest rate of 12%. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, loan amount of RMB0.5 million ($~~77,416)~~77,560) remained outstanding.

		On November 9, 2007, the Company completed a private placement for the gross proceeds to the Company of $13,650,000 by selling 3,500,000 shares of common stock at the price of $3.90 per share. Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor and placement agent in connection with the private placement and received a cash fee of $819,000. The Company may have become liable for liquidated damages to certain shareholders whose shares were included in a resale registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement that the Company entered into with such shareholders in November 2007. Under the registration rights agreement, among other things, if a registration statement filed pursuant thereto was not declared effective by the SEC by the 100th calendar day after the closing of the Company’s private placement on November 9, 2007, or the “Effectiveness Deadline”, then the Company would be liable to pay partial liquidated damages to each such investor of (a) 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the shares it purchased on the one month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline; (b) an additional 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until the earliest of the effectiveness of the registration statement, the ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline and the time that the Company is no longer required to keep such resale registration statement effective because either such shareholders have sold all of their shares or such shareholders may sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations; and (c) 0.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the shares it purchased in the Company’s November 2007 private placement on each of the following dates: the ten-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline and every thirtieth day thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days), until the earlier of the effectiveness of the registration statement and the time that the Company no longer is required to keep such resale registration statement effective because either such shareholders have sold all of their shares or such shareholders may sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations. Such liquidated damages would bear interest at the rate of 1% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

		On December 21, 2007, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 7, 2008. As a result, the Company estimated liquidated damages amounting to $561,174 for the November 2007 registration rights agreement. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, the Company had settled the liquidated damages with all the investors and the remaining provision of approximately $159,000 was included in other payables and accruals.
