KANDI TECHNOLOGIES, CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kandi Technologies, Corp. (the “Company” or “Kandi”, formally known as Stone Mountain Resources Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004.  On August 13, 2007, the Company changed its name from Stone Mountain Resources, Inc. to Kandi Technologies, Corp.

The company’s organizational chart as follows:
 

As the organizational chart reflects, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd. has a 50% ownership (voting) interest in Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicle Co. Ltd.; however, per the terms and conditions of its contractual arrangement with the other equity owner, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co. Ltd. is entitled to 100% of the economic rights and interests (profits and loss absorption) in Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicle Co. Ltd.

The primary operations of the Company are the design, development, manufacturing, and commercializing of all-terrain vehicles, go-karts, and specialized automobiles such as EVs for the PRC and global export markets. Sales are mainly made to trading companies in China, then distributed throughout the world.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
 
As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s working capital surplus was $23,012,284; in addition, the Company the Company has credit lines from Chinese commercial banks for $48,267,327, of which $29,084,158 was used as of June 30, 2011.
 
The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient, if needed, to support growth of future operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. However, if necessary, management will pursue financing arrangements including the issuance of debt or equity securities or will reduce expenditures, in order to meet the Company’s cash requirements. Further, the Company believes its access to existing financing sources and established relationships with PRC banks that will enable it to meet its obligations and fund its ongoing operations. That said, there is no assurance that, if required, the Company will be able to raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required liquidity which, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position
 
The Company has historically financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks.  The term of these loans are typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loans for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and the short-term bank loan will be available on normal trade terms if needed.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

NOTE 4 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Kandi and its ownership in following subsidiaries:

(i)
Continental Development, Ltd. (“Continental”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company)
(ii)
Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of  Continental)
(iii)
Kandi Special Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“KSV”, formerly known as Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. “KNE”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kandi Vehicles)
(iv)
Jinhua Three Parties New Energy Vehicles Service Co., Ltd. (“Jinhua Service”) (a 30% owned subsidiary of Kandi Vehicles)
(v)
Jinhua Kandi New Energy Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi New Energy”) (a 50% owned subsidiary of Kandi Vehicles with 100% profits and loss absorption due to contractual agreement.)

Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 5 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Economic; Exchange Rate; Political Risks

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
Our operations are conducted mainly in the PRC. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in RMB, which is our functional currency. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 (b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

These tiers include:

·
Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
·
Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
·

The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2011 are as follows:

    1,568,699       -       1,568,699       -  

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short term maturity.

Warrants and conversion features embedded in the convertible notes, which are accounted as liabilities, are treated as derivative instruments, which will be measured at each reporting date for their fair value using Level 2 inputs. Also see Note 6 section (s) and (t).

The Company’s non-financial assets are measured on a recurring basis. These non-financial assets are measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. For most assets, ASC 820 requires that the impact of changes resulting from its application be applied prospectively in the year in which the statement is initially applied.
 
The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. ASC 820 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the remeasurement at fair value is performed. The Company has reviewed its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2011 and determined that there are no significant assets to be tested for recoverability under ASC 360 and as such, no fair value measurements related to non-financial assets have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash on June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represent time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Also see Notes 14 and 15.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and selling expense.

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors.  Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0, as per the management's judgment based on their best knowledge.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the longest credit term for certain customers are both 120 days.

(f) Note receivable

Notes receivable represents short-term loans to third parties with the maximum term of one year.  Interest income is recognized according to each agreement between a borrower and the Company on an accrual basis.  If notes receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they are recognized in the relevant year if the loan default is probable, reasonably sure and the loss can be reasonably estimated.  The Company recognizes income if the written-off loan is recovered at a future date.  In case of foreclosure procedures or legal actions being taken, the Company provides accrual for the related foreclosure expense and related litigation expenses.

(g) Prepayments

Prepayments represent cash paid in advance to suppliers for raw materials used in the manufacturing process. For fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, prepayments was primarily comprised of advancements to mold manufactures. However, prepaid expenses, such as water and electricity fees, also contributed to the total number.

(h) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings
30 years
Machinery and equipment
10 years
Office equipment
 5 years
Motor vehicles
 5 years
Molds
 5 years

NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(i) Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

 (j) Land Use Rights

According to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or a company.  However, the government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land.  The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.

(k) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC No. 350. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
During the reporting period, there was no impairment loss.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

·       Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·       Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
·       The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
·       Collectability is reasonably assured.

(m) Research and Development

Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvement to existing products are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $1,086,540 and $743,768 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(n) Government Grant

Grants received from the PRC Government for assisting in the Company’s technical research and development efforts are netted against the relevant research and development costs incurred when the proceeds are received or collectible.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, $280,727 and $75,789, respectively, was received from the PRC government for the Company’s contribution to the local economy.

(o) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

(p) Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the reporting period, which was obtained from website: http://www.oanda.com

(q) Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation changes.

(r) Stock Option Cost

The Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505.
The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the option. 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 option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards 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 stock based compensation expense for the period ended June 30, 2011 is $138,315. Also see Note 17.

(s) Warrant Cost

The Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities respectively in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.

The fair value of warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. 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 measurement.
The Company determined that the equity based warrants are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, while the warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as interest expense.
 
(t) Fair Value of Conversion features

In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the Convertible Notes are issued, the conversion feature was recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future decreases in fair value recognized in earnings while increases in fair values recognized in expenses as interest expense.
The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the conversion features. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion features is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820)-Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2011-04"), to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 9 –INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible note (using the if-converted method). For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there are 1,359,290 potentially dilutive common shares.

It is a common business practice among companies in the region of China where Kandi is located to exchange guarantees for bank debt with no consideration given. It is considered a “favor for favor” business practice and is commonly required by the lending banks as in these cases. ZMEC has provided a guarantee for certain of the Company’s bank loans. As of June 30, 2011, ZMEC had guaranteed bank loan of the Company for a total of $15,470,296. In exchange, the Company provided guarantee for bank loans being borrowed by ZMEC and allowing ZMEC to pledge the Company’s assets. The banks involved in these guarantee transactions typically allow a maximum loan amount based on a 30% to 70% discount on the net book value of the pledged collateral. ZMEC is also a supplier of the Company. Also see Note 14.

Through issuing Bank note payable rather than paying cash to suppliers, the Company can defer the payments to the date bank note payable is due. Simultaneously, the Company needs to deposit restricted cash in banks to back up the bank note payable, while the restricted cash deposited in banks at the rate of 3.05% annually for this reporting period will generate interest income.

NOTE 16 – TAX

(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT law”), which went into effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the applicable corporate income tax rate is 25%.

Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to the Company was 33%. Kandi’s first profitable tax year for income tax purposes as a foreign-invested company was 2007. As a foreign-invested company, the income tax rate of Kandi is entitled to a 50% tax holiday based on 25% for the years from 2009 through 2011. During the transition period, the above tax concession granted to the Company prior to the new CIT law will be grandfathered according to the interpretations of the new CIT law.

KSV and Kandi New Energy are subsidiaries of the Company and their applicable corporate income tax rates are both 25%.

According to the PRC corporation income tax (“CIT”) reporting system, the CIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the value added tax (“VAT”) which will be reported to the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on a quarterly basis. Since the VAT and CIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on a “State provided official invoices” reporting system, the Company is reporting the CIT according to the SAT prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off CIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations on the income tax estimation reported in the Form 10-K.

NOTE 16 – TAX (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 2011, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns to the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and states where the Company has operation. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in China. As of June 30, 2011 the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by China tax authorities. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S federal income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.

(3)   Pledged collateral for a third party’s bank loans

As of June 30, 2011, the Company provided the land use rights and plant and equipment pledged as collateral for the following third party:

Zhejiang Mengdeli Electric Co., Ltd.
           
Land use rights net book value
          $ 6,909,885  
Plant and equipment net book value
          $ 4,637,530  

It is a common business practice among companies in the region of China where Kandi is located to exchange guarantees for bank debt with no consideration given.  It is considered a “favor for favor” business practice and is commonly required by the lending banks as in these cases. These companies provided guarantees for the Company’s bank loans as well. The banks involved in these guarantee transactions typically allow a maximum loan amount based on a 30% to 70% discount on the net book value of the pledged collateral. Also see Note 14.

(b)  Pending litigation

There are two lawsuits currently pending in Ripley County, Missouri against the Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd.(“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Investment Group, SunL and other parties, and they are related to two persons who died in an accident on March 3, 2006 while operating a go-cart allegedly manufactured by Kandi Vehicles.  Kandi Investment Group was a major shareholder of Kandi Vehicles but it transferred all its equity in Kandi Vehicles to Continental Development Limited in November 2006. Since then, Kandi Investment Group has been unrelated to the Company or its affiliates.

The cases were filed in 2009 and are known as Elder vs. SunL Group and Griffen vs. SunL Group. In March, 2010, the local trial court entered two default judgments in the amount of $20,000,000 each against Kandi Vehicles (a subsidiary of the Company), Kandi Investment and other parties. No default judgment was entered against Kandi Technologies. Corp. The lawsuit and default judgments didn’t come to the Company or Kandi Vehicles’ attention until May or June 2010. The Company had not been served or notified of the lawsuits and learned of their existence and of the default judgment in the course of commercial discussions with another of the defendants in the cases. Currently, the Company and Kandi Vehicles have filed answers to the complaint denying any culpability. The Company also moved for the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles to be set aside and on February 28, 2011, the Judge granted that motion and in the docket entry noted that the motion was granted because the court had no jurisdiction due to plaintiff’s failing to obtain service on Kandi Vehicles. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this order vacating the default judgments. The court of appeals thereafter ordered the plaintiffs to show cause by April 1, 2011 why the appeal should not be dismissed.  The Plaintiffs responded by voluntarily withdrawing their appeals.

The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and believe it will prevail in this lawsuit since the Company including its subsidiaries did not manufacture the subject vehicle in the accident.  The Company intends to propound discovery on the plaintiffs and will attempt to have the cases dismissed by summary judgment, if possible.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "predict," "intend," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.

In addition, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding implementing our business strategy; development and marketing of our products; our estimates of future revenue and profitability; our expectations regarding future expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing and general and administrative expenses; difficulty or inability to raise additional financing, if needed, on terms acceptable to us; our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; attracting and retaining customers and employees; sources of revenue and anticipated revenue; and competition in our market.

Forward-looking statements are only predictions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. All of our forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC. These documents are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System athttp://www.sec.gov.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Policy affecting options, warrants and convertible notes

The Company’s stock option cost is recorded in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the option. 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 option expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures. ASC standards 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 Company’s warrant costs are recorded in liabilities and equities, respectively, in accordance with ASC 480, ASC 505 and ASC 815.

The fair value of warrants, which is classified as a liability, is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement. The warrants, which are freestanding derivatives and are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, will be measured at fair value on each reporting date, with decreases in fair value recognized in earnings and increases in fair values recognized in expenses as interest expense.

The Company determined that the fair value of equity based warrants, which are not considered derivatives under ASC 815, is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the warrant. 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.

In accordance with ASC 815, the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. On the date the Convertible Notes are issued, the conversion feature was recorded as a liability at its fair value, and future decreases in fair value recognized in earnings while increases in fair values recognized in expenses as interest expense. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to obtain the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the expiration date of the conversion features. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the conversion features is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement.
 
Estimates affecting accounts receivable and inventories
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reporting of assets and liabilities (and contingent assets and liabilities). These estimates are particularly significant where they affect the reported net realizable value of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories.
 
 
32

 
 
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors.  Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.  If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 respectively, as per the management’s judgment based on their best knowledge.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.  When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
While the Company currently believes that there is little likelihood that actual results will differ materially from these current estimates, if customer demand for our products decreases significantly in the near future, or if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates in the near future, the Company could realize significant write downs for slow-moving inventories or uncollectible accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods sold, recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

·    Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·    Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
·    The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
·    Collectability is reasonably assured.

(a) Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our revenue increased by 1.72%, from $18,166,224 to $18,479,208 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s legacy product lines of ATVs and GoKarts, offset by decreases in sales of super mini cars, utility vehicles and three-wheeled motorcycles as described in more detail below.

The following table lists the number of vehicles sold and sales revenue, categorized by vehicle type, within the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Off-Road Vehicles

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the market condition for ATV products continues to recover. The Company developed some low price products to meet markets demands, which has caused good results and successfully increased the Company’s sales. Revenues from our ATVs experienced an increase of $130,573, or 8.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the comparable period, which was attributable to 22% increase from 2,184 units in the first six months of 2010 to 2,665 units in 2011, partially caused by an 11% unit price reduction.

In the first six months of 2011, our Go-Karts experienced a significant increase in revenue of $4.2 million or 61.5% over the same period of last year, which was mainly attributable to a 78% increase in unit sales from 6,387 units in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 11,394 units in 2011.  Just as with ATVs, the Company’s successful development of meet-market-demands low price products has achieved good results, and with the help of good market conditions, the Company realized a significant increase of revenue in Go-Karts.

Because the role of the three-wheeled motorcycle (TT) is changing from a recreational vehicle that is not street legal to a formal vehicle, which needs to pass certain certifications, this role-changing period caused the revenues from our TT to drop by $869,724, or 56%, from the six months ended 2010 to 2011, which was attributable to a decrease in unit sales of 58% from 678 units in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 284 units in 2011. In responding to this market situation, the Company modified and improved the TT’s design and quality, which resulted in 4.9 % increase in the unit price, but this does not enhance the sales a lot. Currently the Company is preparing for the above mentioned certification and the Company believes achieving the certification will create positive impact on  the Company’s future performance.

Utility vehicles (UTVs) experienced a significant decrease in revenues from $2,301,724 to $1,220,237. This 47% decrease is due to a 62.6% drop in unit sales from 1,052 units in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 393 units for the same period of 2011. This significant drop is primarily because of the continuing high competition in this UTV market, while the UTV manufactured by the Company is relatively high end and more expensive, which effected the sales. At this moment, the Company continues to develop new products and enhance existing products that will meet the future demands  in UTV markets.
 
Super-Mini-Car Products
 
Because the Company has shifted its focus of super-mini cars from overseas market to the domestic Chinese market, and as governments at different levels are still in the process of determining the supporting policies, the Company has not realized mass unit sales during this reporting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenues from our Super-mini-car, dropped significantly by $2,402,825, or 41.4% from the same period of 2010, which was attributable to a decrease in unit sales of 60.6% from 1,377 units in the first six months of 2010 to 542 units in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the average unit price increased 49%, primarily because the super-mini-car sold during this period have enhanced features. On June 3, 2011, the Zhejiang Province Government has publicly announced its support policy for EVs in Jinhua, and the Company believes the Jinhua city government will announce additional  supporting policy for EVs by the end of summer. The Company remains optimistic about EV sales based on developments in Jinhua and Hangzhou, as well as in Europe.

Refitted car

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company also  refitted other companies vehicles to meet special customers’ requirements. The Company expects this new business to expand its business scope and stimulate future development.

The following table shows the breakdown of the Company’s revenues from its customers by geographical markets based on the location of the customer during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $14,076,060, representing a 0.8% increase from $13,963,654 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting the Company’s more efficient cost control.

Excluding the $808,223 option related expense, the net selling and distribution expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $133,790, which represent an 11.8% increase in selling and distribution expenses for the period of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to the increased sales force, higher advertising fees and custom inspection fees.

For the same period of last year, the interest for the convertible notes was $253,425, and the interest incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $492,099. Excluding the effects of interest expense related to convertible notes, the net interest expense for this reporting period was $21,552, a decrease from $697,012 for the same period of 2010, primarily due to the increase of interest income earned from the note receivables issued to third parties.

(i) Change in fair value of financial instruments

This significant increase was due primarily to the lower stock price as of June 30, 2011.

(j) Other income, Net

Net other income was $167,232 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 189.0% from $57,859 for the same period of 2010. This is primarily due to a fine award amount of $89,194 that the Company received in the second quarter of 2011 for a contractor did not complete implement the construction in the allotted time as agreed.

During the first six months of 2011, Jinhua Service was  in the initial launching period, so the Jinhua Service recorded a net loss; however, the Company believe this situation will change, especially after the announcement of supporting policies from Zhejiang Province Government and Jinhua city government.   With more and more EVs being used by public the Company believes, Jinhua Service will begin to generate profit.

(l) Net income (loss)

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company generated a net income of $9,559,743, a significant improvement from net income of $1,010,782 for the same period of last year. The improvement was primarily due to the increase  caused by the change of fair value of financial derivatives, the significant decreases in interest expense, general and administrative expenses, and selling and distribution expenses, which included higher option and stock related expenses in the first six months of 2010.

Excluding the effects of option related expenses, which was $138,315 and $1,152,050 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the stock award expense, which was $28,826 and $522,646 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the Convertible Note’s interest expense, which was $30 and $253,425 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the effect caused by amortization of discount on Convertible Notes, which was $222 and $492,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was $7,752,772 and $1,775,809 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively,  the Company’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $1,974,364, an increase of 19.3% as compared with net income of $1,655,193 for the same period of 2010 excluding the same effects. This increase is primarily due to the increase of gross profit and the increase of interest income generated from the notes receivable issued to third parties, offset by the increase of research and development expense, and the increase of general and administrative expense.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, about 90% of sales in China are sales to Chinese export agents, who resell the company’s products to markets around the world.

(b) Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $7,795,987, representing a slight increase of $236,752, or 3.1% from the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold was 76.9% of the total revenue for the period as compared to 76.3% for the comparable period.

(c) Gross profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 decreased 0.5% to $2,341,715 compared to the same period of last year, as a result of decreased gross margin, which decreased to 23.1%, compared to 23.7% for the same period of 2010. This is primarily due to the fact that processing techniques for refitted cars are relatively simple; therefore its gross margin is comparatively lower, which reduced the overall gross margin of the Company for this reporting period.

(d) Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were $92,679 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $89,685 from the same period in 2010, representing a 3.3% increase.  However, excluding the $27,321 expense related to the options issued to consultants for their services assisting the Company in expanding within the Chinese market during the three months ended June 30, 2010, the net Selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $62,364. Excluding these costs, selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 would have increased 48.6% from the same period of 2010, primarily due to the increased sales force, higher advertising fees and custom inspection fees.

(e) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $827,529 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1,147,061 for the same period in 2010, representing a 27.9% decrease.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the general and administrative expenses included $52,358 in stock-based compensation cost for the options issued to the Company’s executives and managerial level employees, while for the same period of last year, this stock based compensation cost was $143,261. In addition, the general and administrative expenses also included $11,034 in expenses for common stock awards to employees and consultants for financing and investor relations services, while for the same period of last year, this stock award cost was $522,646. Excluding the effect of stock based compensation cost and stock award cost, the net general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $764,137, an increase of 58.8% from $481,154 for the same period of 2010. This increase was primarily due to the increase of expenses incurred by the Company’s increased activities in capital markets.

(f) Research and development

Research and development expenses were $574,588 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $400,370 from the same period in 2010, representing a 43.5% increase.  This increase reflects the Company’s continuing efforts to  generate  new products and improve quality on existing products.

(g) Interest income (expense), Net

Net interest income was $275,466 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $671,945 net interest expense for the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the interest expense for convertible notes was $15, and the interest incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $130 since only $1,000 convertible notes were outstanding at June 30, 2011. While for the same period of last year, the interest for the convertible notes was $135,683, and the interest incurred by the amortization of debt discount was $252,733. Excluding the effects of interest expense related to convertible notes, the net interest income for  the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $275,611, a significant change from net interest expense of $283,529 for the same period of 2010, primarily due to the increase of interest income earned from the notes receivable issued to third parties.

 
38

 

 
(h) Change in fair value of financial instruments

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the interest income, which was caused by the changes of fair value of warrants issued to investors and placement agents, and the changes of fair value of conversion features embedded in convertible notes, was $2,367,594, while for the same period of last year, the interest income, which was caused by the changes of fair value of financial instruments, was $1,213,169. This significant increase was due primarily to the lower stock price in the second quarter of 2011.

(i) Net income

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company generated a net income of $3,621,343, a significant improvement from net income of $1,188,767 for the same period of last year, primarily due to the changes of fair value of warrants issued to investors and placement agents.

Excluding the effects of option related expenses, which was $52,358 and $170,582 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the stock award expense, which was $11,034 and $522,646 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the Convertible Note’s interest expense, which was $15 and $135,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the effect caused by amortization of discount on Convertible Notes, which was $130 and $252,733 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and the change of the fair value of financial derivatives, which was $2,367,594 and $1,213,169 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s net income was $1,317,286, an increase 24.6% as compared with net income of $1,057,242 for the same period of 2010 excluding the same effects. This increase is primarily due to the increase in interest income and government grants, which was offset by the increase of research and development expense, and the  general and administrative expense.

As of the date of this Form 10-Q filing, all but $1,000 of the Convertible Notes have already been converted.

Financial Condition

Working Capital

The Company had a working capital surplus of $23,012,284 at June 30, 2011, an improvement from a working capital surplus of $682,171 as of June 30, 2010, which was principally due to the Company’s additional equity offering in December 2010, and most convertible notes issued in January 2010 have been converted to common stock. The Company used part of these proceeds in the Company’s working capital and used part of these proceeds in the prepayment for purchasing fixed assets used for production.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has credit lines from commercial banks for $48,267,327, of which $29,084,158 was used on June 30, 2011. The Company believes that its cash flows generated internally may not be sufficient to sustain operations and repay short term bank loans for the next twelve months. However, the Company believes its access to existing financing sources and established relationships with PRC banks will enable it to meet its obligations and fund its ongoing operations.

The Company has historically financed itself through short-term commercial bank loans from PRC banks.  The term of these loans are typically for one year, and upon the payment of all outstanding principal and interest in a respective loan, the banks have typically rolled over the loans for additional one-year terms, with adjustments made to the interest rate to reflect prevailing market rates. The Company believes this situation has not changed and the short-term bank loans will be available on normal trade terms if needed.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $4,156,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $4,584,108 in the same period in 2010. The decrease of net cash flow by operating activities was mainly due to the prepayments and prepaid expenses. The account has changed to cash outflow of $9,321,749 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from cash inflow of $627,935 for the same period of last year, which is mainly caused by the Company’s having prepaid part of the model manufacturing payments to primarily mold suppliers; the pre-payment of such expenses is a common business practice in the Company’s industry.

Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $4,231,582 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $15,600,950 for the same reporting period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued $2,733,584 in notes receivable, and collected $7,260,308 in repayment of note receivables, which  resulted in a net cash inflow of $4,526,724 from notes receivable. For the same period of last year, the Company recorded a net cash outflow $14,900,420 in notes receivable, due to the $2,268,415 repayment of notes receivable and $17,168,835 issuance of notes receivable.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $1,451,377 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities of $11,733,941 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow provided by financing activities in this quarter was primarily due to $10,248,955 net cash inflow from notes payable although offset by the cash outflow of $8,857,647 for the restricted cash, while for the same period of last year, the $10,000,000 cash inflow caused by the issuing of convertible notes in January 2010 was not required to be secured by restricted cash, and therefore no corresponding restricted cash outflow required in consequence. The increase of restricted cash is primarily due to the increase of bank issued note payables. Please also refer to Note 15 of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in RMB, which is our functional currency. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings. Management of the Company, under the direction of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

There are two lawsuits currently pending in Ripley County, Missouri against the Company and its subsidiary Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd.(“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Investment Group, SunL and other parties, and they are related to two persons died in an accident on March 3, 2006 while operating a go-cart allegedly manufactured by the Kandi Vehicles.  Kandi Investment Group was a major shareholder of Kandi Vehicles but it transferred all its equity in Kandi Vehicles to Continental Development Limited in November 2006. Since then, Kandi Investment Group has been unrelated to the Company or its affiliates.
The cases were filed in 2009 and are known as Elder vs. SunL Group and Griffen vs. SunL Group. In March, 2010, the local trial court entered two default judgments in the amount of $20,000,000 each against Kandi Vehicles (a subsidiary of the Company), Kandi Investment and other parties. No default judgment was entered against Kandi Technologies, Corp.  The lawsuit and default judgments didn’t come to the Company or Kandi Vehicles’ attention until May or June 2010. The Company had not been served or notified of the lawsuits and learned of their existence and of the default judgment in the course of commercial discussions with another of the defendants in the cases. Currently, the Company and Kandi Vehicles have filed answers to the complaint denying any culpability. The Company also moved for the default judgments against Kandi Vehicles to be set aside and on February 28, 2011, the Judge granted that motion and in the docket entry noted that the motion was granted because the court had no jurisdiction due to plaintiff’s failing to obtain service on Kandi Vehicles. On March 3, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this order vacating the default judgments. The court of appeals thereafter ordered the plaintiff to show cause by April 1, 2011 why the appeal should not be dismissed. The plaintiffs responded by voluntarily withdrawing their appeals.
The Company intends to defend these cases vigorously and has the confidence to prevail in this lawsuit since the Company including its subsidiaries did not manufacture the subject vehicle in the accident.  The Company intends to propound discovery on the plaintiffs and will attempt to have the cases dismissed by summary judgment, if possible.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010. An investment in our common stock involves various risks. When considering an investment in our company, you should consider carefully all of the risk factors described in our most recent Form 10-K. If any of those risks, incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, occur, the market price of our shares of common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us and there may be additional matters that we are unaware of or that we currently consider immaterial. All of these could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and, thus, the value of an investment in our company.
