HPJ Highpower International Inc

Hong Kong Highpower Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: HPJ), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries and related products, announced today that The Wall Street Transcript has published an extensive interview with Henry Ngan, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. In the interview, Mr. Ngan provides an overview of Hong Kong Highpower Technology's product offerings, competitive advantages, and challenges and opportunities going forward.

Following is a brief excerpt from the interview:

TWST: What are your fastest growing markets geographically speaking?

Mr. Ngan: Given the world's financial crisis, we are seeing China emerging as the fastest out of the global recession. Once again, the market that we serve is quite large, so we see a lot of opportunities internationally.

TWST: Are there specific opportunities over the next year that you see?

Mr. Ngan: Once again, as the world's economy continues to improve, I suspect demand will continue to rise and with the additional business demands in existing as well as potential customers, it can really further drive our business.

TWST: Is the fact that your batteries are rechargeable also an advantage?

Mr. Ngan: Yes, certainly. If you look at this generation compared to the previous generation, we are more environmentally conscious, and as consumers become more environmentally conscious, people want to purchase something or do something that can really improve the quality of their lives and perhaps for the quality of their grandchildren's lives. With rechargeable batteries, we always have been a green enterprise. Rechargeable batteries bode well for the environment, which we think is important, and I think that's really the theme for us and for our consumers.
