         contained in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 29466310).

     Advanced Battery Technologies is also incorporating by reference all
documents hereafter filed by Advanced Battery Technologies pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

Registration Statement.  Mr. Brantl holds no interest in the securities of
Advanced Battery Technologies.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification to a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such party acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful as determined in accordance with the statute, and except that with
respect to any action which results in a judgment against the person and in
favor of the corporation the corporation may not indemnify unless a court
determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the
indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be
provided if the party in question is successful on the merits.

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that the corporation shall
indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnity under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware from and against any and all
of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
officer, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,

executors and administrators of such a person.

     Not applicable.

5        Opinion of Robert Brantl, Esq.

23.1     Consent of PKF, Certified Public Accountants.

23.2     Consent of Robert Brantl, Esq. is contained in his opinion, filed as
         Exhibit 5.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     Advanced Battery Technologies will:

     (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

     (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time
to be the initial bona fide offering;

     (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering;

     (4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business
issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business
issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold
to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,
the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:

         (i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 (230.424 of this chapter);

         (ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or
referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

         (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about the undersigned
small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned small business issuer; and

         (iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

<PAGE>

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Advanced Battery Technologies pursuant to the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise,
Advanced Battery Technologies has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by Advanced Battery
Technologies of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Advanced Battery Technologies in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
Advanced Battery Technologies will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

                               RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying
our common stock.  If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that
event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you
could lose all or part of your investment.

              I.  RISKS ATTENDANT TO OUR BUSINESS

     WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GAIN A SUBSTANTIAL SHARE OF THE MARKET FOR BATTERIES.

     We have only one product line, rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batter
ies.  We first marketed our batteries in the Spring of 2004, and have reported
modest revenue to date.  There are many companies, large and small, involved
in the market for rechargeable batteries.  It will be difficult for us to
establish a reputation in the market so that manufacturers chose to use our
batteries rather than those of our competitors.  Unless we are able to expand
our sales volume significantly, we will not be able to operate efficiently and
our business will fail.

     WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY OUR CURRENT DEBTS.

     Our current liabilities are far in excess of the book value of our
current assets.  At December 31, 2005 our current liabilities totaled
$6,194,495 and our current assets totaled $3,271,724, only $17,708 of which
was cash.  We are engaged in efforts to negotiate compromises and extensions
with our major creditors.  If those negotiations are unsuccessful,  our
business may fail.

     WE LACK SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO FULLY CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

     In order to make our operations cost-efficient, it is necessary that we
expand our operations.  At the present time, however, our capital resources
are sparse.  In order to expand our operations, we will need an infusion of
capital to fund the build-out of our manufacturing facility and an accumula-
tion of inventory.  We are engaged in discussions with potential sources of
capital, but have received no commitments.  It is not clear whether sufficient
capital will become available to us to permit us to expand to an efficient
operating point.

     OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN
KEY PERSONNEL THAT ARE IN HIGH DEMAND.

     Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly
skilled engineers, technical, marketing and customer service personnel,
especially qualified personnel for our operations in China. Qualified
individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient
experienced
                                    -2-
<PAGE>

personnel to fill the demand.  Therefore we may not be able to successfully
attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed.

     WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO BE LESS COMPETITIVE.

     We are continuously designing and developing new technology. We rely
on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on
disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of
our technology could damage our ability to compete effectively.  In China,
monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult and costly.  In
addition, intellectual property law in China is less developed than in the
United States and historically China has not protected intellectual property
to the same extent as it is protected in other jurisdictions, such as the
United States. Any resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property
rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and
might be unsuccessful.

     WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL
CONTROLS IN CHINA.

     The People's Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the
management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in
the United States are familiar with.  We may have difficulty in hiring and
retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement
the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United
States public company.  If we cannot establish such controls, we may
experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial
statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business
practices that meet U.S. standards.

     CAPITAL OUTFLOW POLICIES IN CHINA MAY HAMPER OUR ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS
TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES.

  The People's Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer
regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations
for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were
introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency
for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital
items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the
approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to
obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and
Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the conver-
tibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be
in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restric-
tions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to fund our business
activities outside China or to pay dividends to our shareholders.

     WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS INSURANCE COVERAGE.

     The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of develop
ment. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products,
and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result,
we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations.
Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined
that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not
require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural
disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

                                    -3-
<PAGE>

     TRADE BARRIERS AND TAXES MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND
OPERATIONS.

     We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our
targeted markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and
tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the
exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, as well as
substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets or payroll, as well as value-
added tax. The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and
unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and products.  Any of
these barriers and taxes could have an adverse effect on our finances and
operations.

     CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

     We generate revenues and incur expenses and liabilities in Chinese RMB.
However we report our financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars.
As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations
between these currencies.  Recently, there have been suggestions made to the
Chinese government that it should adjust the exchange rate and end the linkage
that in recent years has held the RMB-U.S. dollar exchange rate constant. If
the RMB exchange rate is adjusted or is allowed to float freely against the
U.S. dollar, our revenues, which are denominated in RMB, may fluctuate
significantly in U.S. dollar terms. We have not entered into agreements or
purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.

             II.  RISKS ATTENDANT TO OUR MANAGEMENT

     OUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE HINDERED IF WE LOST THE SERVICES OF
OUR CHAIRMAN.

     Fu Zhiguo is the Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Battery Technolo
gies and of its operating subsidiary, ZQ Power-Tech.  Mr. Fu is responsible
for strategizing not only our business plan but also the means of financing
it.  Mr. Fu has also, from time to time, provided his personal funds to meet
the working capital needs of ZQ Power-Tech.  If Mr. Fu were to leave Advanced
Battery Technologies or become unable to fulfill his responsibilities, our
business would be imperiled.  At the very least, there would be a delay in the
development of Advanced Battery Technologies until a suitable replacement for
Mr. Fu could be retained.

     ADVANCED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES IS NOT LIKELY TO HOLD ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER
MEETINGS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

     Delaware corporation law provides that members of the board of directors
retain authority to act until they are removed or replaced at a meeting of the
shareholders.  A shareholder may petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to
direct that a shareholders meeting be held.  But absent such a legal action,
the board has no obligation to call a shareholders meeting.  Unless a share
holders meeting is held, the existing directors elect directors to fill any
vacancy that occurs on the board of directors.  The shareholders, therefore,
have no control over the constitution of the board of directors, unless a
shareholders meeting is held.

     Since it became a public company, Advanced Battery Technologies has
never held an annual meeting of shareholders.  Management does not expect to
hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense
involved.  The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to
that position by the current and previous directors.  If other directors are
added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will

                                    -4-
<PAGE>

appoint them.  As a result, the shareholders of Advanced Battery Technologies
will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of
Advanced Battery Technologies.

     YOUR ABILITY TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST US OR AGAINST OUR DIRECTORS, OR
TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT AGAINST US OR THEM, WILL BE LIMITED BECAUSE WE CONDUCT
ALL OF OUR OPERATIONS IN CHINA AND BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DIRECTORS RESIDE
OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES.

     We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our
wholly-owned subsidiary. All of our directors reside in China and substan
tially all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United
States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an
action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the
event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securi
ties laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of
this kind, the laws of the United States and of China may render you unable to
enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors.

authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification to a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him

determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the

PART II

              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Registration Statement.  Mr. Brantl holds no interest in the securities of
Advanced Battery Technologies.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification to a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such party acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful as determined in accordance with the statute, and except that with
respect to any action which results in a judgment against the person and in
favor of the corporation the corporation may not indemnify unless a court
determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the
indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be
provided if the party in question is successful on the merits.

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that the corporation shall
indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnity under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware from and against any and all
of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
officer, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

5        Opinion of Robert Brantl, Esq.

23.1     Consent of PKF, Certified Public Accountants.

23.2     Consent of Robert Brantl, Esq. is contained in his opinion, filed as
         Exhibit 5.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     Advanced Battery Technologies will:

     (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

     (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time
to be the initial bona fide offering;

     (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering;

     (4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business
issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business
issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold
to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,
the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:

         (i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 (230.424 of this chapter);

         (ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or
referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

         (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about the undersigned
small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned small business issuer; and

         (iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Advanced Battery Technologies pursuant to the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise,
Advanced Battery Technologies has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by Advanced Battery
Technologies of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Advanced Battery Technologies in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
Advanced Battery Technologies will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

                               RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying
our common stock.  If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that
event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you
could lose all or part of your investment.

              I.  RISKS ATTENDANT TO OUR BUSINESS

     WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GAIN A SUBSTANTIAL SHARE OF THE MARKET FOR BATTERIES.

     We have only one product line, rechargeable polymer lithium-ion batter
ies.  We first marketed our batteries in the Spring of 2004, and have reported
modest revenue to date.  There are many companies, large and small, involved
in the market for rechargeable batteries.  It will be difficult for us to
establish a reputation in the market so that manufacturers chose to use our
batteries rather than those of our competitors.  Unless we are able to expand
our sales volume significantly, we will not be able to operate efficiently and
our business will fail.

     WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY OUR CURRENT DEBTS.

     Our current liabilities are far in excess of the book value of our
current assets.  At December 31, 2005 our current liabilities totaled
$6,194,495 and our current assets totaled $3,271,724, only $17,708 of which
was cash.  We are engaged in efforts to negotiate compromises and extensions
with our major creditors.  If those negotiations are unsuccessful,  our
business may fail.

     WE LACK SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO FULLY CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

     In order to make our operations cost-efficient, it is necessary that we
expand our operations.  At the present time, however, our capital resources
are sparse.  In order to expand our operations, we will need an infusion of
capital to fund the build-out of our manufacturing facility and an accumula-
tion of inventory.  We are engaged in discussions with potential sources of
capital, but have received no commitments.  It is not clear whether sufficient
capital will become available to us to permit us to expand to an efficient
operating point.

     OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN
KEY PERSONNEL THAT ARE IN HIGH DEMAND.

     Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly
skilled engineers, technical, marketing and customer service personnel,
especially qualified personnel for our operations in China. Qualified
individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient
experienced
                                    -2-
personnel to fill the demand.  Therefore we may not be able to successfully
attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed.

     WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO BE LESS COMPETITIVE.

     We are continuously designing and developing new technology. We rely
on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on
disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of
our technology could damage our ability to compete effectively.  In China,
monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult and costly.  In
addition, intellectual property law in China is less developed than in the
United States and historically China has not protected intellectual property
to the same extent as it is protected in other jurisdictions, such as the
United States. Any resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property
rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and
might be unsuccessful.

     WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL
CONTROLS IN CHINA.

     The People's Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the
management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in
the United States are familiar with.  We may have difficulty in hiring and
retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement
the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United
States public company.  If we cannot establish such controls, we may
experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial
statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business
practices that meet U.S. standards.

     CAPITAL OUTFLOW POLICIES IN CHINA MAY HAMPER OUR ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS
TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES.

  The People's Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer
regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations
for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were
introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency
for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital
items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the
approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to
obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and
Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the conver-
tibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be
in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restric-
tions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to fund our business
activities outside China or to pay dividends to our shareholders.

     WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS INSURANCE COVERAGE.

     The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of develop
ment. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products,
and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result,
we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations.
Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined
that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not
require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural
disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

                                    -3-
TRADE BARRIERS AND TAXES MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND
OPERATIONS.

     We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our
targeted markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and
tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the
exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, as well as
substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets or payroll, as well as value-
added tax. The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and
unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and products.  Any of
these barriers and taxes could have an adverse effect on our finances and
operations.

     CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

     We generate revenues and incur expenses and liabilities in Chinese RMB.
However we report our financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars.
As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations
between these currencies.  Recently, there have been suggestions made to the
Chinese government that it should adjust the exchange rate and end the linkage
that in recent years has held the RMB-U.S. dollar exchange rate constant. If
the RMB exchange rate is adjusted or is allowed to float freely against the
U.S. dollar, our revenues, which are denominated in RMB, may fluctuate
significantly in U.S. dollar terms. We have not entered into agreements or
purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.

             II.  RISKS ATTENDANT TO OUR MANAGEMENT

     OUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE HINDERED IF WE LOST THE SERVICES OF
OUR CHAIRMAN.

     Fu Zhiguo is the Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Battery Technolo
gies and of its operating subsidiary, ZQ Power-Tech.  Mr. Fu is responsible
for strategizing not only our business plan but also the means of financing
it.  Mr. Fu has also, from time to time, provided his personal funds to meet
the working capital needs of ZQ Power-Tech.  If Mr. Fu were to leave Advanced
Battery Technologies or become unable to fulfill his responsibilities, our
business would be imperiled.  At the very least, there would be a delay in the
development of Advanced Battery Technologies until a suitable replacement for
Mr. Fu could be retained.

     ADVANCED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES IS NOT LIKELY TO HOLD ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER
MEETINGS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

     Delaware corporation law provides that members of the board of directors
retain authority to act until they are removed or replaced at a meeting of the
shareholders.  A shareholder may petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to
direct that a shareholders meeting be held.  But absent such a legal action,
the board has no obligation to call a shareholders meeting.  Unless a share
holders meeting is held, the existing directors elect directors to fill any
vacancy that occurs on the board of directors.  The shareholders, therefore,
have no control over the constitution of the board of directors, unless a
shareholders meeting is held.

     Since it became a public company, Advanced Battery Technologies has
never held an annual meeting of shareholders.  Management does not expect to
hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense
involved.  The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to
that position by the current and previous directors.  If other directors are
added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will

                                    -4-
appoint them.  As a result, the shareholders of Advanced Battery Technologies
will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of
Advanced Battery Technologies.

     YOUR ABILITY TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST US OR AGAINST OUR DIRECTORS, OR
TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT AGAINST US OR THEM, WILL BE LIMITED BECAUSE WE CONDUCT
ALL OF OUR OPERATIONS IN CHINA AND BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DIRECTORS RESIDE
OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES.

     We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our
wholly-owned subsidiary. All of our directors reside in China and substan
tially all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United
States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an
action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the
event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securi
ties laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of
this kind, the laws of the United States and of China may render you unable to
enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors.

determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to the
indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be
