Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On June 17, 2008, the management of Hong Kong Highpower Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 should no longer be relied upon due to various reclassifications in expenses in the Company’s statements of operations for such periods. The Company’s restated financial statements for these periods are included in the Company’s Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 18, 2008.

The Company reclassified the line item entitled “fees and costs related to reorganization” from other income (expense) to an operating cost line item in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company also reclassified $136,997 of accounting costs originally classified in fees and costs related to reorganization in 2007 to general and administrative expenses to more properly reflect their purpose. The Company also reclassified the loss on exchange rate difference to a separate operating cost line item in the statement of operations, which had previously been included in general and administrative costs. These reclassifications had no effect on net income for the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. [The Company also made minor corrections to certain line item amounts in cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007, which did not have an effect on net cash provided by financing activities in 2007.] As a result of the foregoing revisions, the Company has labeled the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 as “restated.”

The management of the Company has discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters disclosed in this Item

The Company intends to amend its Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 16, 2008 as a result of the restatement and the reclassifications and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2008 to reflect certain reclassifications.

Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 19, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware effectuating a 5-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock effective as of June 19, 2008. The number of authorized shares of common stock and their par value, and the other terms of the Company’s common stock, were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
