United States Tax China BAK is subject to a statutory tax rate of 35% under United States of America tax law.

Hong Kong Tax BAK Asia is 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016 and accordingly no provision for Hong Kong profits tax was made in these periods.

|  | The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016 are presented below:
|  | September 30, |  |  | March 31, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |
Deferred tax assets |  |  |  |  |  |
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 32,979 |  | $ | 34,437 |

| As of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the Company’s U.S. entity had net operating loss carry forwards of $35,318,443, of which $102,293 was available to reduce future taxable income which will expire in various years through 2035 and $35,216,150 was available to offset capital gains recognized through 2020 and the Company’s PRC subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards of $437,933 and $3,518,748, respectively, which will expire in various years through 2020. 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.
| The Company did not provide for deferred income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016 of approximately of $14.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were included in accumulated deficit and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes or applicable withholding taxes, related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if management concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.
| As of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rates in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016.
| 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.
