FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (Restated) and 2005




1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY


Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (“ABAT” or the “Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 16, 1984.


The Company is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing of rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batteries through its subsidiaries, Cashtech Investment Limited (“Cashtech”) and Heilongjiang Zhong Qiang Power-Tech Co., Ltd. (“ZQ Power-Tech”).  Cashtech is a British Virgin Islands corporation and ZQ Power-Tech is a limited liability company established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) in which Cashtech originally owned 70% interest as of December 31, 2005.  On January 6, 2006, the minority shareholders of ZQ Power-Tech transferred the remaining 30% of their interest  to Cashtech in exchange for 11,780,594 shares of the Company’s common stock.    As a result of the transfer, Cashtech now owns 100% of the capital stock of ZQ Power-Tech.  Details of the transaction are set out in note 5.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


(i)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements.  


In the opinion of the management of ABAT, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.


(ii)

The Group has accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2006.  However, based on the substantial backlog of orders of approximately USD6.0 million that the Group has accumulated and the Group had attained net income for the current interim period which indicated an improvement to the current operations, the management of the Group believes that the backlog of orders and improved operation results will generate sufficient revenue and cash flows to enable the Group to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the section “Summary of significant accounting policies” of the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2006.


Revenue Recognition


The Company ’ s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. The Company has conducted its marketing either direct to its customers or through a distributor, Easywood Holdings Limited of Hong Kong. For all sales either to customers directly or to the distributor, there are sale contracts or invoices with a fixed or determinable price. At delivery, the customers or the distributor has taken title to the products and assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. The customers or the distributor has no right of return except for defective products and their obligations are not contingent on resale of the products. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses represent the aggregate fair value of the Company's common stock issued in return for the consulting services relating to marketing and finances provided by certain consultants to the Company. The consulting contracts, which were made in 2004, have sixty month terms.  There is no provision for vesting in any of the consulting agreements nor is any specific deliverable required.  Accordingly, the fair value of the shares issued to the consultants has been recorded as prepaid expenses.  The fair value is determined by reference to the closing price of the Company's common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") at the date of issuance. The prepaid expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective terms of the service periods. Amortization of prepaid consulting services for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $265,681 and $1,070,506, respectively.      

Recent accounting pronouncements


In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”.  SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.  SFAS No. 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140.  SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on its financial statements, as it currently has no financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 155.

ADVANCED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES, INC,


NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (Restated) and 2005



In March 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets: an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities after they have been initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on its financial statements.


In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This interpretation requires that the entity recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  The provisions of FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, except in some circumstances where the statement shall be applied retrospectively.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements.


The FASB released SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ” which requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of defined benefit and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through an adjustment to comprehensive income. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 on its financial statements.



4.

INCOME TAXES


Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company is generally subject to an income tax at effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated tax adjustments. The enterprise is located in a specially designated region where it allows foreign enterprises a two-year income tax exemption and an additional 50% income tax reduction for the next three years.


According to the Provisional Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Income Tax, the Document of Reductions and Exemptions of Income Tax for the Company has been approved by the local tax bureau for the reporting period. The Company is exempt from income tax for two years commencing from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007. The Company has also been approved to have its tax rate reduced by 50% from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010.


The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “ Accounting for 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. There is no deferred tax amount recognized for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.


5.

ACQUSITION OF MINORITY INTERESTS IN ZQ POWER-TECH


As mentioned in note 1, the Company issued 11,780,594 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 30% minority interest in ZQ Power-Tech. This transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.


The amount of USD 2,146,774, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the 30% minority interest acquired, has been recorded as “Goodwill.”  Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and at other times if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s net assets is below its book value.


6.

ACQUISITION OF A PATENT


On January 10, 2006, ABAT issued 4,400,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Fu in return for a patent transferred to ZQ Power-Tech by him.    


The patent was recognized at the par value of the shares issued due to the nature of transaction being between related parties.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


(i)

The Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) on August 24, 2004.  The purpose of the 2004 Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of the participants of the 2004 Plan to those of the Company’s shareholders, and by providing the participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.  The 2004 Plan is further intended to attract and retain the services of the participants upon whose judgment, interest, and special efforts the successful operation of the Group is dependent.  The Company has reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock for the options and awards under the 2004 Plan.


Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2004 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 2004 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 stocks, 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 measures the compensation cost from share-based payment arrangements with employees with reference to the trading price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) on the date of grant.


A summary of the status of the Company’s unearned stock compensation as of September 30, 2006, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is presented below :-

The unearned stock compensation granted during the current period relates to 1,530,000 shares of common stock granted to five employees (note 8(ii)).  The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share is USD0.58.  The total unearned stock compensation as of September 30, 2006 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 9.75 years.


In addition, the compensation cost capitalized as an asset in relation to shares issued under the 2004 Plan in prior years and current period was USD1,211,378.  Included were the 60,000 shares of common stock entitled by the consultants as disclosed in note 8(i) and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per share is USD0.58.  The


compensation cost capitalized was classified as prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheet and the amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was USD265,681.  The prepaid expenses is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.25 years.


(ii)

The Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) on April 24, 2006.


The 2006 Plan became effective on April 18, 2006.  Its purpose is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of the participants to those of the Company’s shareholders, and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.  The 2006 Plan is further intended to attract and retain the services of the participants upon whose judgment, interest and special efforts the successful operation of the Company and its subsidiaries is dependent.


The number of shares available for grant under the 2006 Plan shall not exceed 8,000,000 shares and shares of stock and options may be granted to the eligible persons at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Committee administering the plan.  Incentive stock options (“ISO”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSO”), or a combination thereof may be granted but ISOs can only be granted to the Company’s employees.  The Committee can also grant shares of restricted stock or performance shares (a performance share is equivalent in value to a share of stock) to eligible persons at any time and from time to time.


The exercise price for each ISO awarded under the 2006 Plan shall be equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted and be 110% of the fair market value if the eligible person owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations.  The exercise price of a NQSO shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.


No option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant and each option shall expire at such time as the Committee determines at the time of grant.  The eligible person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporations shall exercise his/her option before the fifth anniversary date of its grant.


Options shall vest at such items and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee; provided, however, unless a different vesting period is provided by the Committee at or before the grant of an option, the options will vest on the first anniversary of the grant.


Options granted under the 2006 Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each participant.


No award may be made under the 2006 Plan after December 31, 2015.


The Company measures the compensation cost from share-based payment arrangements with employees with reference to the trading price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTCBB on the date of grant.

Other than the transaction as detailed in notes 13(i) and 13(ii), no options or awards have been made, exercised or lapsed during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 under the 2004 Plan and the 2006 Plan.


(v)

We adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method beginning January 1, 2006. Accordingly, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under FAS 123 were in effect for expense recognition purposes, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. For these awards, we have continued to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line amortization method as we did before. For stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006, the fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model.


For these awards, we have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method.

Under SFAS No 123R, the Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock compensation expense recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The compensation cost capitalized as an asset in relation to shares issued to non-employee consultants under the 2004 Plan in prior years and current period was USD1,388,305.  Included were the 7,610,000 shares of common stock issued to the consultants and employees as disclosed in notes 8(i) and 8(ii) and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per share is USD0.64.  The compensation cost capitalized was classified as prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheet and the amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $265,691 and $0.   The prepaid expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.25 years.

COMMITMENTS


At of September 30, 2006, the Group had agreed to pay USD136,356 to Harbin Institute of Technology for the research and development of polymer lithium-ion batteries for motor vehicles.


14.

WARRANTIES


The Group warrants that all batteries manufactured by it will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of shipment.  The Group’s experience for costs and expenses in connection with such warranties has been minimal and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, no amounts have been considered necessary to reserve for warranty costs.


15.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Apart from the information disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, the Group had the following material transactions with its related parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 :-

 

(i)

The Group sold goods amounting to USD1,423,640 to a related company in which a director of ZQ Power-Tech (who was also a former director of the Company) has a controlling interest.  The transaction was entered into in the normal course of business and on normal commercial terms; and


(ii)

Included in accounts receivable as of September 30, 2006 was an amount of USD900,217 due from the above-mentioned related company arising from the trading transaction.


16.

RESTATEMENT


We have restated the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of changes made in the method of accounting for the acquisition of the 30% minority interest by the Company in January 2006.


The acquisition of the minority interest was previously accounted for at book value, consistent with accounting for entities under common control. Upon further review of SFAS 141, we have determined that this transaction should have been accounted for using the purchase method instead.


The impact of this restatement on the financial statements as originally reported is summarized below:

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

        Forward Looking Statements


     The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations.  Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned that there are risks and uncertainties which may cause actual future results to differ from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of some of the risks that may cause such a difference has been set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 in the section numbered "Item 6" under the heading "Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results." Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements.


Results of Operations


 During the year ended December 31, 2003 the activities of our operating subsidiary, “ZQ Power-Tech,” were focused on development of its product line and the build-out of its manufacturing facility.  ZQ Power-Tech recorded its first significant revenues in the first half of 2004, ending June 30, 2004.  For that six month period, it recorded sales totaling $968,675.  


The Company’s level of sales fell in the second half of 2004 to $222,834.  The reduction occurred primarily because the Company obtained the financing needed to complete additional factory facilities at ZQ Power-Tech’s campus in Heilongjiang.  Production was reduced to minimal or none, as management focused on doubling the Company’s production capacity and training the necessary personnel.  Between 2004 and the end of 2005, the number of employees at our facility increased from 300 to 1260, as we more than doubled our production capacity to its current level of $40 million per year.  We now have two buildings (“A” and “B”) in full production, and continue to outfit buildings “C” and “D.”  


In the fall of 2005 we returned to full production, shipping $2,618,165 of product in the fourth quarter, to produce total revenues in 2005 of $4,222,960.  Our increased level of activity continued into the first nine months of 2006, during which we recorded $9,136,709 in revenue.  By comparison, our revenue during the first nine months of 2005 was only $1,604,795, as we were focused on building our facility at that time. Because we had a backlog of approximately $6 million at September 30, 2006, we expect to maintain the level of operations that we achieved in the first nine months of 2006.  We do not include in our current backlog the $21 million order placed by Aiyingsi in 2004, since the delivery times for that order have been delayed indefinitely.


ZQ Power-Tech realized a 34% gross margin on its sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximating the 34% ratio that we realized in the first nine months of 2005.  Our gross margin ratio in the future will depend considerably upon which of ZQ Power-Tech’s products are dominating sales.  However we do expect our operations in 2007 and beyond to be more efficient than they have been in the past, as we are implementing advanced production management systems.  We are also gaining experience with our new production lines, which are enabling us to improve the efficiency of the lines and to discover lower-cost sources of raw materials for our products.


Our general and administrative expense fell from $1,541,433 in the first nine months of 2005 to $1,041,703 (11% of revenue) in the first nine months of 2006.   The reduction reflected, in part, our efforts to increase efficiencies in our operations.  The greatest part of the reduction, however, was attributable to the fact that general and administrative expense in the first nine months of 2005 included a non-cash expense of $1,070,506 that was primarily attributable to amortization of prepaid consulting fees that were paid by issuing common stock to the consultants.  The Company’s expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 for amortization of consulting fees that were prepaid in stock was only $265,681.  At September 30, 2006 there remained on the Company’s balance sheet $833,359 in prepaid expenses that are attributable to prepaid consulting fees to the Company’s consultants.  The remaining prepaid expenses will be amortized over the next few years.   


The Company’s revenue less expenses produced an income of $1,838,507, compared to a loss before minority interest of $1,113,346 in the first nine months of 2005.  In 2005, however, Advanced Battery owned only 70% of ZQ Power-Tech.  For that reason, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was reduced by $12,852, representing the 30% of the net loss of ZQ Power-Tech that we did not own.  In January 2006 our Chairman, Fu Zhiguo, transferred the remaining 30% of ZQ Power-Tech into the Company’s control.  In 2006 and hereafter, therefore, we will be able to include 100% of the net income of ZQ Power-Tech in the net income for Advanced Battery Technologies.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Until December 2004, the development and initial operations of ZQ Power-Tech were financed primarily by contributions to capital made by Fu Zhiguo, the Company’s Chairman.  On December 1, 2004, ZQ Power-Tech entered into a Loan Agreement with China Financial Bank, and received a loan of 20 million RMB (approximately $2.4 million).  The Loan Agreement requires that the principal be paid in a balloon in November 2006, although the Company expects the maturity date to be extended by one year.  Interest at 8.064% per annum is payable monthly.  $1.9 million of the obligation is secured by a pledge of ZQ Power-Tech’s manufacturing facilities; the remainder of the debt is secured by a pledge of our realty assets.  


At September 30, 2006 the Company had a working capital deficit of $23,051, an improvement of $2,899,720 since December 31, 2005.  The primary reason for the improvement in our working capital position was our profitability.  During the past nine months we used our net income to reduce our accounts payable by 74%.  In addition, we determined that we were entitled to a tax refund of $472,121 from the government of China, which we have recorded as a current receivable.  


Although our net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $1,838,507, our operations provided only $258,706 in cash for the period, compared to a reduction in cash of $268,575 in the first nine months of 2005.  The primary reason for this disparity was the fact that our accounts receivable increased during the recent nine month period by more than the amount of our net income.  As we seek new market share, we are tolerating extended payments from a number of our customers, particularly our primary distributor, who is allowed 120 days to pay its receivables.  For this reason, the growth in our net income will not produce a proportionate increase in cash until we are able to secure better payment terms from our customers.  


Despite its negative working capital, ZQ Power-Tech has sufficient liquidity to fund its near-term operations.  The principal capital resource available is $13,342,114 in property, plant and equipment, construction in process, and real property rights, which ZQ Power-Tech owns subject only to the China Financial Bank lien for $3.4 million.  Based on the substantial backlog of orders that ZQ Power-Tech has accumulated, it believes that additional secured financing will be available to it on favorable terms when needed.  Until then, if short-term cash shortages occur, Mr. Fu has committed to provide financing as needed.  


Based upon the financial resources available to ZQ Power-Tech, management believes that it has sufficient capital and liquidity to sustain operations for the foreseeable future.


Restatement of Financial Statements


The financial statements included in this amended Quarterly Report have been restated.  The primary reason for the restatement was to change the method by which we accounted for the Company’s acquisition in January 2006 of the 30% minority interest in ZQ Power-Tech.  In the initial filing, we had reported the acquisition at book value, consistent with accounting for the acquisition of an entity under common control.  In this amended filing, we have accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method.  


The principal effect of the restatement has been to increase both our Total Assets and our Stockholders Equity by $4,072,977.  The restatement also reduced our reported net income for the first nine months of 2006 by $83,219, due to increased depreciation and amortization expense in that amount.  


Item 3.

Controls and Procedures


     

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that at September 30, 2006 there was a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures.  The material weakness arose from the fact that on that date there was no member of our Board of Directors nor any salaried employee who was familiar with U.S. generally accepted accounting procedures.  Since that time we have remedied this situation by:


·

Appointing as Chief Financial Officer a bilingual resident of the United States who has extensive experience in financial analysis;

·

Appointing an individual with extensive experience in U.S. financial accounting procedures to serve as Chairman of our Audit Committee;

·

Hiring additional personnel to staff the bookkeeping and accounting function in our executive offices in New York; and

·

Engaging an accounting firm based in New Jersey to serve as our principal independent auditor, thus enabling efficient communication between our New York-based personnel and our auditor.

 

As a result of these actions, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are currently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  As we develop new business or if we engage in an extraordinary transaction, we will review our disclosure controls and procedures and make sure that they remain adequate.


      There were no changes in the internal controls over our financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
